Chapter 391: The Vanishing Star Alliance
"Bastard, my mother is pregnant! Bastard, old lady ......"
"Ahh~!" The wooden fish jumped up with a scream, and while he was still asleep, he waved his arms exaggeratedly, and fell to the ground with his head.
The sudden feeling of falling made Muyu break out in a cold sweat, and he suddenly woke up most of the dream. "Bastard, my mother is pregnant! Bastard, the old lady is pregnant! Xu Jing's voice was still singing RAP, roaring angrily. The wooden fish stumbled to the edge of the cabinet and pressed all four wake-up bells in a series of rounds - don't doubt it, all four wake-up bells were the same sentence, looping like a quartet...... It was nothing more terrifying, more terrifying than the deepest nightmare.
But there was no way - this was what happened to him.
That's right, Colonel Muyu also returned to the Star Alliance, just like a real hero - at least at the beginning - but unfortunately he knelt down with Lu Yuan's thigh and begged to defect to the Dawn, "Let me die like a hero here!" "It's also wishful thinking! Old man Hackett and his wife are watching with a dead eye! So Lao Lu kicked it away mercilessly...... Lao Lu didn't realize that Hua Mei's subordinates had mixed with male dogs before, but now that he realizes it, he must cut them all down.
General Hackett patted Muyu's shoulder with a smile, and walked away silently, so frightened that his legs trembled like a lute. The daughter-in-law passed by with a child, and when she saw him, she was neither surprised nor happy, and said lightly, "This is the child of the old Wang family next door, and I will take care of it for two days......
“…… Wait, wife! Our next-door neighbor's surname is Wang?! You...... Don't scare me, wife! Mu Yu's face turned pale suddenly.
Then comes the hell of terrifying ringtones......
Wake up, wash up, and reconfirm the next door with "Wang" instead of "Wang". Muyu put on his armor and picked up his gun. Only this time, unlike usual, he quietly replaced it with a new metal magazine. And insert four micro heat wands into the inside of the boot. Starlink's standard 4C combat configuration can support a small encounter...... But his mission today is only to be on duty at the Earth Command Center.
By the way, in the place of the Earth Command Center, even a dog that can step into the gate is a lieutenant-level officer, and it is not surprising that a colonel-level officer holds a gun to maintain order. Of course...... A Star League hero, cruiser captain, and naval colonel standing in the corridor must be excessive! But as soon as I heard that this man had scolded General Hackett as a "dead old man". Although everyone was so happy that they couldn't do it, they still immediately dispersed the birds and beasts.
Many people asked him sympathetically, "Hero." Why don't you die on the battlefield? Why bother to come back and suffer this sin. Muyu could only explain with his eyes, "You think I don't want to?" Lao Tzu's shameful last words were all recited, but he didn't die...... There is nothing more painful in the world than this! ”
As for why he is in a combat configuration? Because today is a special day - Starlink has just received good news, and the army of reapers, in front of the 'Charon' repeater, has been evacuated - but the good news may not bring good changes. When General Hackett with a group of shining generals. As he walked through the hallway. Muyu subconsciously straightened up...... He knew that the big thing he was waiting for was about to happen.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Hackett kicked the door of the Star Federation Council!
In fact, he was not the only one who received the news - just look at the row of generals who followed General Hackett! Former Admiral Dreescher, former Rear Admiral Grissom, Vice Admiral Yang of the Seventh Fleet, Rear Admiral Li Huamei of the Second Fleet, ...... of the Fourth Fleet The commanders of the seven fleets are coming, and four of them are here! The remaining three people probably didn't support Hackett's next move, they were just because the fleet was stationed outside and couldn't return in the face of the Reaper invasion.
In addition, there are presidents and prime ministers of various countries in the world (the Star Federation is a federal system), famous big entrepreneurs in the pan-galaxy, and the speakers of parliaments in various colonies. There is even a huge broadcast team of TV stations following the whole process! Not only that, but actually...... Members of parliament should have been informed of the news as well. Neatly appeared in the venue. Except for the ugly faces of the Earth Steering Committee, the Standing Council, and the Speaker, most of them tried to remain expressionless as much as possible, waiting for things to come.
It's finally time for this! The moment General Hackett kicked the door open, almost everyone was turning the thought. Even if it's a wooden fish that has nothing to do with it, I can't help but get excited! Whether it is as a soldier or an old man's descendant, he has to raise 10,000 hands to support!
The broadcast team stopped first, and they split along the outermost ring of the council hall to the sides, and hundreds of hovering camera robots recorded the expressions of everyone in the entire hall. The smart core has begun to switch channels around the world and start broadcasting live simultaneously.
Then there are the politicians and entrepreneurs on the periphery, who disperse like water into the sea into a circular seating area and take their seats in the places marked with their names.
Finally, there were the generals who followed the old man, who lined up neatly on either side of the podium like little guards.
General Hackett stepped onto the podium, and instead of speaking, he looked down slowly at the council hall. At this moment, not only the home planet Earth and the colonies of the Star Alliance, but also the eyes of the entire galaxy were focused on General Hackett.
"I declare," General Hackett stood as straight as he had on the bridge of his war, announcing his pre-battle mobilization. "From now on, resign as the head of the Star Alliance Naval Staff, the commander of the Star Alliance Second Fleet, and the Star Alliance Navy Special Service (this unit is still there?) ), Starlink...... and a series of positions. ”
His resignation did not cause any waves, except for the exclamation of some people, and everyone nervously waited for his next words.
General Hackett took off the hat above his head, his thumb resting on the hat badge, swaying slightly with some nostalgia, and then placing it on the edge of the podium.
"I announce! From now on, he will be the president of Starlink! ”
*****
Starlink has a president!
This news swept through the entire galaxy like a bolt of lightning, and suddenly everyone was scorched! This not only means that Starlink will change from a parliamentary system to a presidential system, but also means that at a time when the Reapers are invading in a big way. Starlink abandoned the dish and chose "strongman politics"!
With a more efficient, stronger, and of course more poisonous vegetables, less cooking poisonous vegetables. Replaces the inefficient collegial parliamentary system - in times of crisis, it is difficult to say whether this choice is good or bad. However, in the evaluation of later generations, it is certain that a "Hackett poisonous vegetable" has been firmly worn on the old man's head and can no longer be shaken off. But will old man Hackett, who is always single and has no offspring, care?
Immediately, the effects of "strongman politics" began to appear. The speed was far beyond everyone's expectations!
On his first day as Starlink's president, Hackett turned the council hall into an office meeting and issued a series of decrees.
The first is to make it clear that "the president is the supreme commander of all navies." Strip the command of the Navy from Parliament. Immediately, three orders were announced: "Starlink General Mobilization Order", "Compulsory Military Service System" and "Hundred Days of Emergency", which made the Starlink's chariot rumble! I don't know how the Reaper is, but he made the whole galaxy tremble first!
Just as the conscription offices were opening in major cities around the world, the old man issued a second series of major orders - the great retreat of the pangalactic colonies!
That's the migration of 40 billion people! The old man gave the order. Almost everyone was dumbfounded. Not that the order is unreasonable. It's impossible to do! Retreat, that's not just a person getting on the boat and leaving - that's an "emergency retreat"! "Emergency retreat" is the kind that faces a life-and-death choice, and if you don't leave, you can only die. There is no consideration of personal property, family integrity, casualties, etc., the only goal is to evacuate people! This is the "emergency retreat".
But the retreat is different, the retreat must ensure that the family is the unit, the private property of the family must be guaranteed, the integrity of the colonial enterprises must be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and even the agricultural enterprises that cannot be withdrawn must be compensated...... What's more, there is the problem that the colonies are too scattered - Starlink has dozens of colonies large and small! That's almost the amount of work that relocated the entire planet ten times!
Can Starlink do it? How?!
on this. Hackett simply explained, "The retreat is given to our ally Dawn!" The armies of the colonies must cooperate fully. ”
The mysterious "Dawn" is a Starlink ...... No. Is it an ally of Hackett?! Another shocking piece of news.
At the same time that President Hackett issued the order, countless "matrix" transport ships appeared in the sky above the major colonies of the Star Alliance! The kind of huge hull that covers the entire sky and tens of kilometers is far more oppressive than that of ordinary Grand Fleets! The "Matrix" ship left all six sides of the cuboid open, and countless small ships flew down like fireflies, landing wherever they could, and then the geth disguised cyborgs walked into thousands of homes.
All of the colonies of the Celestial Alliance were blessed to live in a centralized manner, and the largest colonies of the colonies - Eden, the "Elysium" on the edge of the Squilian, the planet Akuz, etc., were all rescued by the Dawn, and Li Huamei, Lu Yuan, Anne and others had extremely high prestige in these places - so the evacuation work went very smoothly.
Almost within the time lag between the reaper's massive contraction for the Leviathan, Starlink unbelievably completed the main part of the retreat! Evacuated most of the population into the solar system.
*****
On the face of it, it's too unwise to concentrate, isn't that a chance to give the Reaper a chance to catch them all?! It's not just ordinary people and politicians who think so, but even General Hackett disagrees with it at the beginning. But in the end, Lu Yuan still convinced him......
Why? The reason is very simple, for the sake of human beings to still be able to stand in the forest of galactic civilization.
The "Optimus Furnace" is a weapon that will definitely be made, and it will definitely be used - this is not a high probability event, but it will definitely happen, because it is necessary for the world to initialize! Therefore, regarding the manufacturing work of the "Qingtian Furnace", although it seems difficult on the surface, in fact, both the "Catalyst" and Lu Yuan will secretly promote it.
And how can this superweapon wipe out the reapers, all of the galaxy in one fell swoop? Or do you want to play a game-changing role in some other way? Of course, this is through the use of mass repeaters throughout the galaxy - the "Optimus Furnace" is only the signal source, the Citadel space station is the "amplifier", and the mass effect repeaters at all levels are the antenna receivers. In the end, it is the main-level repeaters scattered all over the major galaxies that exert their lethality......
But after this time, as the effect of changing the world (it may be the destruction of all inorganic lifeforms, or the fusion of organic and inorganic organisms, depending on Shepard), those repeaters at all levels that have existed for thousands of years will also completely self-destruct.
After that, the fast and easy network of galactic travel will no longer exist - not only will the pan-galactic civilizations be cut off, but even the home planet and the colonies within the civilization will be cut off! Mankind...... There will be a return to the times when it took years or even decades to fly in a single contact. This will remain the case until space technology takes a leap forward again, or mass repeaters are rebuilt.
Let's not talk about other races, let's talk about human beings - after decades of separation, can human beings still be a unified civilization? Those who have only been emperors for a few decades and forget their ancestors, eager to treat the pirates who sell opium as their fathers, are examples. Not to mention the situation of being unconnected for dozens of generations. I'm afraid that by that time, the people of the colony will not even recognize themselves as earthlings......
At that time, in the face of an individual's lifespan of thousands of years, it will be absolutely impossible to inherit the torn Asari; There are also the Turks who have a deep background in aerospace technology and are most likely to be the first to make breakthroughs; Mankind will completely lose the overall superiority of civilization, and the most likely outcome will be to directly split into dozens of small nations and become second-rate or even third-rate civilizations.
Of course, it is impossible to say the reason for this directly--otherwise there must be those who stinky and shameless people who stand up and boast about how pure and noble human beings are, how noble they are, and how impossible it is to be divided, and there are such things as boiling and wandering...... There is no doubt that this kind of clown, hating to betray the country, careerists has always been extremely numerous among human beings.
*****
So what Hackett used to convince everyone was another ostensible reason.
"The reason is that Mu Xing, a scientist of the Star Alliance and the chief scientist of the Dawn, has prepared a plan for us a long time ago that can save all mankind...... 'Disappearance Plan'!"
"Disappearance Plan" -
The Gagarin space station, which was empty inside and had only a few dozen maintenance personnel left, suddenly started on its own, and then flew towards the Charon repeater, which was also outside Pluto. The panicked maintenance personnel were able to temporarily evacuate the space station on a cargo ship. They watched as the Gagarin space station swaggered through the shield of the "Charon" and then docked on the surface of the repeater.
The space station stretched out countless robotic arms, combining itself with the "Charon" repeater.
Then, the frequency of the "Charon" repeater suddenly detaches from the repeater network controlled by the Citadel, and becomes a repeater that is not connected to any primary-level repeater! Of course, it can now be connected to the Dawn repeater for mass transfer.
When this step was completed, when the Council of the Citadel summoned Councillor Udina with a fierce attitude-
An inexplicable wave spread from the original "Gagarin" space station, and this wave swept over the Earth, Mars, and the Sun...... When the fluctuations pass, the Earth is still the same Earth, and Mars is still the same Mars...... Nothing seems to have changed.
But the entire solar system has disappeared from the Milky Way's observation system!
Muxing's "Sky Canopy System", which has been prepared for mankind for ten years, has finally been activated......
