Chapter 158: Raid (II)
Chapter 158: Raid (II)
On the afternoon of February 7, 2o83... Fifty-six points.
In the second month after the Western New Year, on the first day of the Han New Year, the information center of the Wendini Planetary Space Station suddenly received an image message from the already fallen H-15 military fortress.
In just fifteen minutes, this image message was quickly transmitted to the Alpha Planet of the Federal Capital, and appeared in front of every member of Congress.
The time recorded in this image message was less than 37 seconds, but it was this short 37 seconds that made every member of Congress fall into an ice cave, and Federal President Dawson, who was being impeached by the congressman, fainted directly after seeing this image message.
Thirty-seven seconds is just a short moment in the eyes of many people, and this time is only enough time to slowly peel a candy into your mouth, or light a cigarette and take a few puffs at will. However, in this image message, the thirty-seven seconds of the death of the thirty-six knights of the Twin Star Knights are recorded, and each knight's face after death is left with a close-up, and even the screen is switched to their armor number. And Colonel Bradley, the Knights' overseer who has a high reputation on the planet Alpha and is known as a model soldier, was even beheaded directly in the picture.
The impact of this image message on the Federation is unimaginable, because until then, the Knights of the Twin Stars had always been the unstoppable protector of the Federation people, the invincible sword of the guardian guarding the Federation. They have always been bathed in the glow of glory, and have never been so stripped of their armor and piled up into mountains of corpses, becoming ornaments for their enemies to show off their bravery.
This shocking image message has spread to the public with an alarming degree, and since the federal president is still in the impeachment phase, the FBI and the federal intelligence agency are still in a frozen period without jurisdiction. As a result, the Federal Congress simply does not have the ability to control public opinion. A great panic began to spread in the minds of the people of the Union, and the members of Congress who were in high positions began to take their own positions, not knowing what to do about it.
In this incident, which almost threatens to lead to mass riots, several MPs with a rich background were the first to react. They quickly formulated a course of response, believing that the impeachment of President Dawson should be completed as soon as possible, and only by immediately leaving Dawson and electing an interim president for emergency purposes could the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Intelligence Agency (FBI) and the Federal Intelligence Agency, the president's privileged ministry, be reactivated. In addition, on the issue of the Barnard system, they advocated the repatriation of the garrison and the strategic abandonment of the Barnard Autonomous Region. As for the economic losses caused by the investment of several major consortia in the Barnard system, the ownership of the Barnard system is used to make up for it.
It sounds completely unreasonable to use the ownership of the Barnard system to make up for the financial losses of the investment consortium after the withdrawal of the Union and the announcement of the abandonment of the Barnard system. Undoubtedly, this is the loss that is prepared to make the investment consortium pay for itself.
If this bill had been proposed by someone else, it would have been criticized by many consortia, but it was Congressional Secretary-General Abel who put forward these proposals. Morgan, and the Morgan family behind him is precisely the biggest loser in this incident.
Now, if this proposal is formally passed, it will be equivalent to the Morgan family relinquishing ownership of the Barnard system. All consortia that invest in the Barnard system have the right to open any money in the Barnard system, and they can legally transfer the assets into their own names without paying any fees.
This may sound good, somewhat similar to the history of the American West that was born in the old days. First, the state rights of the Barnard system were declared, and at the same time, the state-owned commons were freely opened to the public, and their 'pre-emption' and subsequent ownership were recognized.
However, after looking at the 37 seconds of visual information, it is impossible for the Federalists to act like the Americans once set off a massive Western Gold Rush. In the history of the American West, immigrants had to deal with only a few Indians armed with primitive weapons, and now on the planet Wendini, they are facing the mighty Jīng Army of the Hoffman Empire, which can wipe out the Knights of the Twin Stars. No one had the confidence to defeat the Emperor by force of expulsion, so when Congress officially passed the Ebel? After Morgan's motion announced the implementation of this decree, almost all the consortia immediately withdrew their funds and personnel from the Barnard system, acquiescing in the failure of the investment.
In this all-out retreat, only the Dupont family showed surprising courage. Barnard Community Councillor, Secretary General of the Community Council, and Barnard System Dupont Family Spokesperson Bevis ? DuPont was the first and only one to state that he would stick to the Barnard system. And in this statement, Bivis? DuPont said that it would fund the purchase of the Morgan family's movable space station, and would join Robin, the Archon of the Ultra Nebula Autonomous Region, to share the free star field of the Barnard System in the name of 'preemption'.
In Bivas? After DuPont's statement, many people regarded him as a madman, even within the DuPont family, most people thought that Bivis? DuPont must be insane.
As the head of the Barnard System project, Bivis? DuPont has the right to transfer all of the assets transferred by the DuPont family to Barnard. But in the plans of the Howe Mén Alliance, the Barnard system is an abandoned galaxy, so Able? Morgan's motion just looks like you're human. In fact, the Federation will not send any more troops to the Barnard system, and the Federation must also be responsible for the personal safety of the people in that free star field.
In this case, how to maximize the recovery of the assets invested by the DuPont family in the early stage and reduce the investment loss is Bivis? The most important thing for DuPont to do right now. They can't trust Bivis? DuPont not only did not do this, but also pressed all his chips at once.
In terms of courage alone, Beavis? DuPont can indeed be called courageous. After all, instead of returning home with shrinking assets, he would rather give up all his desperate bets. But if his courage is to bet on a game that is impossible to win, then his courage can only be described as stupid.
In the entire federation, no one believes in Bivis? The duo of DuPont and Robin can do wonders, and many people even think it's just Bivis? DuPont and Robin are just gimmicks created by wanting to sensationalize. Until Martina, who temporarily manages Robin's territory? It was only after Byron made an official statement as the Archon of the Ultra Nebula Autonomous Region, and after he made a large-scale deployment of fleets and conscripted freedmen to pioneer on the planet Wendini, this suspicion gradually subsided.
In the face of this fact, regardless of the outcome, at least the leader of the Free Folk who had performed miracles in Proxima Centauri really planned to make a big deal in Barnard.
……
At the same time, the Planet Wendini H-2 research base.
The H-2 scientific research base, which had just gone through a bitter battle, was still filled with the smoke and miserable wails of the aftermath of the war, and the wounded could be seen almost everywhere being sent to the rescue room with the support of medical personnel. The soldiers who unfortunately died in the battle were disarmed and cleaned by their direct commanders after being disarmed and cleaned, and gathered in the morgue to wait for unified incineration. In addition, a large number of sappers carrying various equipment on their backs also began to be nervously busy, repairing the damaged rotating turret and alloy deck as quickly as possible.
In the central command room of the H-2 base, Robin, who had finished disarming, walked into the communication room with a tired face, and in the three-dimensional communication screen of the communication room, Bivis, who had finished his statement half an hour ago? DuPont was anxiously waiting for Robin.
