There was a war of words between the two sides, but the strange thing is that as the most important authority of the federation, the federal government has been silent, and even President Chen Zhenbang, who has always been diligent in his administration, went to Hawaii for a beach vacation at this critical moment! The behavior is ridiculous, and the reason is even more absurd, today is a holiday day, and the government does not work! What happened to the president? The president is also a human being, and everyone has to rest. What to do? As long as there is no fight, they can make trouble as much as they want, and everyone should watch a burlesque!

The government's inaction has intensified people's speculation, is it that the federal government and President Chen Zhenbang want to swim between the two, and sit back and watch the two tigers compete for the benefit of the fisherman? Yes, for a long time, the federal government was in a rather awkward position, and its decrees basically had little binding force on these wealthy families with huge economic influence. Perhaps, Chen Zhenbang wants to use the power of Lin Feng's fleet to knock these big families? But just a few starships, how much of a role can they play? Moreover, in this way, the power of humanity will be consumed internally in this senseless confrontation, which will not do any good to the coming major crisis.

Chen Zhenbang didn't pay attention to the thoughts of the civilians. They are not in the game, and they don't know the mystery. Since Lin Feng doesn't let the government participate, then let's run far away, let you make trouble, and you will always have to make a result. At that time, no matter whether Lin Feng wins or loses, the government can advance and retreat freely, so that it will not affect the overall situation of the entire federation.

The war of words between Lin Feng and the family lasted for three days, and in the three days of confrontation, the people of the Federation saw the truth more and more clearly. You know, there are some things that simply don't stand up to scrutiny, and the slightest loophole can lead to a total loss. Although the major families have not yet reached the point of defeat, the hearts of the people in the Federation have completely turned to the long-distance fleet represented by Lin Feng. Against this backdrop, people on all the planets within the federal territory have begun to organize large-scale petitions and demonstrations demanding that the federal government take action. Sanction the crimes of these wealthy families, and even demand a war against these families, through war to get rid of the family's control of the Federation, and use the wealth accumulated by these families for thousands of years, hoard massive materials, vigorously develop military power, and create more and more advanced starships and interstellar combat equipment to deal with the alien creatures that are raging everywhere in the galaxy.

Such a request soon reached the ears of the patriarchs of the major families. It was as if a depth charge had suddenly been dropped on the calm sea, and the patriarchs, who had been calm, suddenly became excited. Their faces were as red as monkeys' butts, and they swore that they would live and die with their families, and even if they died, they would poke a hole in the sky! As for the crisis facing humanity, it is not on their radar. The lives and deaths of other people are none of our business, as long as my family can continue. Alien creatures are powerful, but it's a big deal, let's use the materials we have hoarded over the years to build a few more giant interstellar vehicles. It's better to be able to take them all with you and move to other galaxies than to have your home raided by the federal government!

Of course, it doesn't matter if you think about such an intention. But it must not be made public. Unless these patriarchs are idiots, it is clear that they are all elite characters, and of course they will not be stupid to such an extent.

But there is one person who takes these overwhelming public opinions seriously. For family power. This person is very jealous, but he is forced to deal with him out of necessity. Now there is the excuse of public opinion. Just let him justifiably attack the family forces. That person is Federal President Chan Chun-pong.

Of course, Chen Zhenbang is not going to Hawaii for a vacation, his whole mind is on the sky over Mars, paying attention to the changes there. And the backlash of public opinion is naturally what he focuses on. When he saw that more than ninety percent of the commoners of the Federation supported the fight against the clan power, he quickly thought of how to take advantage of this. For example, in response to public opinion, these families are required to donate 5 to 70 percent of their assets to enrich the federal treasury and provide financial support for the expansion of the army; For example, by forgiving all federal citizens of the debt relationships they have formed with major families, allowing them to live a normal life, and encouraging them to join the army in order to increase the level of armament of the federal army; Such as...... As president, Chen Zhenbang's brain is quite flexible, and in a short period of time, he has thought of no less than ten ways to weaken the strength of the family, and all of them are in line with the law and reasonable.

So, when the fleet and the family were engaged in a war of words, the federal government coldly proposed a compromise plan. The plan calls on both sides to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from resorting to force. At the same time, the federal government is required to send professional accounting personnel to each family to find out whether they have engaged in illegal business to make huge profits. Moreover, Chen Zhenbang also very brazenly demanded that these families think about what the federation thinks, are anxious about what the federation is anxious about, take the initiative to share the government's worries and solve problems, donate 50 percent of their family assets to the federation, and so on.

Chen Zhenbang's statement made the patriarchs very angry, and you have made a decision for us, so what are we still doing here. Since the federal government intends to weaken the family, it is not enough for us to overthrow the government and elect a president who is in the interests of the family.

In many cases, the so-called major events in history are caused by a combination of factors. Chen Zhenbang's attitude became the most direct trigger for this incident, and finally led to the division of the entire human society into two groups, one is the civilian group represented by the federal government, and the other is the family alliance composed of major families. The civilian bloc is numerous, and more than 80 percent of the people of the Federation are civilians, so it is natural to fall into this bloc. However, the industrial facilities, advanced science and technology, economic resources, and mineral resources at the disposal of the civilian groups are very few, and their strength is weak. Although the family alliance has a small population, it has an absolute advantage in most fields. Which is strong and which is weak, a discerning person can know at a glance.

When people were judging the strength of the two camps, they consciously or unintentionally ignored Lin Feng's small fleet of only twenty starships. It's not because Lin Feng's reputation is not good, Lin Feng's name is now known to everyone in the Federation. The problem is, no matter how famous you Lin Feng is, you only have a pitiful twenty starships under your command! In a large-scale starship battle, hundreds or thousands of starships often participate in the battle, how much impact do you say your twenty starships can have on the battle situation? Perhaps a salvo of the fleet would drown out the poor little fleet.

But in fact, the Federation simply does not have a few starships for space warfare. It has already been said before. The starships owned by the Federation are all unarmed starships used for interstellar transportation, and there may be a few small shaped cannons on the ships, but they are all used to deal with elusive interstellar pirates, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

The reason why the Federation does not pay attention to the development of military power is related to the current general environment. Imagine that the Federation's current territory has expanded to the entire solar system. With the exception of Venus, the other planets have been developed to varying degrees. It can be said that mankind has entered a heyday. The rapid development of the economy and the continuous leap forward in science and technology are the results. The sense of identity with the Federation is getting stronger and stronger. In addition, the distance between the solar system and the nearest star system, Proxima Centauri, is as far as 4.5 light-years away, although this distance is insignificant in the universe, but it is hundreds of trillions of kilometers, which is absolutely insurmountable in people's imagination. It is obviously not in the interests of the people for the Federation to maintain a relatively high level of armament without worrying about internal trouble and no invasion from outside. In such an environment, it is only natural that the military strength of the Federation is low.

Of course. It would be inappropriate to say that the Federation does not have the slightest power to resist. The Federation's military forces are concentrated on land warfare, partly to prepare for some possible rebellion, and secondly, to carry out planetary landings when necessary. Can such an army configuration. Obviously, it can't be the opponent of the major families.

Contrary to the situation of the Federation, these families do not attach importance to the development of ground forces, and their eyes are fixed on the vastness of space. Suffice it to say, the family forces pursued a highly centralized patriarchal system. In addition, because of their own development needs, it is easier and more urgent for them to develop interstellar combat forces. Moreover, many of the key technologies for starship manufacturing are in the hands of these families, and the starships equipped by the Federation are all produced by them. They can easily take control of the Federation. This is also the most important reason why Chen Zhenbang does not dare to have a direct conflict with the family forces.

The reason why Chen Zhenbang stood up and made his position stand at this time was because he had already had a preliminary understanding of the various performances of the starships possessed by this small fleet, not to mention the attack power, even the perverted defense power would make all opponents feel a big headache, so even if they couldn't win, Lin Feng and they would be able to protect themselves no matter how bad they were. And if the family alliance has a contemptuous attitude, it may encounter the Waterloo of the interstellar era.

President Chen Zhenbang's statement has a lasting impact. No one knows where this sudden event will go. The future of the Federation is also uncertain. Similarly, no one expected that the political situation would change so quickly that it would be dizzying, and the direction of events would become clear in an instant.

A day later, the representative of the Family Alliance suddenly issued a statement, declaring that the current government of the Earth Federation is an illegitimate government, lacks effective measures to deal with the crisis, and that the formulation of policies is chaotic, resulting in a declining standard of living for the people, and is suspicious of those who have made outstanding contributions to the Federation, and in vain attempts to undermine the good situation of peace between the government and the family. Based on this series of reasons, the family alliance decided to break away from the Earth Federation and establish a new country on its own, the Mars Alliance, which uses Mars as the seat of the provisional government, covering six planets except Earth and Venus. Of course, if Earth is willing to join this new regime, it must abolish the old federal system and overthrow the current regime that is entrenched on Earth.

As soon as the news of the establishment of the Mars Alliance was announced, the whole world was in an uproar. People did not expect that in order to protect their own interests, these family forces would be desperate and reckless to the extent of launching a rebellion. Yes, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, this move of the family alliance is a betrayal, a shameless betrayal. Not to mention that most of the wealth created by the tens of billions of civilians of the Federation has been plundered by it, and now, they are still thinking about grabbing political power!

Chen Zhenbang, who heard the news, was also stunned for a while. He did not expect that his simple statement would lead to the division of the Union. However, with that kid here, and those twenty starships, there is still room for redemption.

Chen Zhenbang immediately connected with Lin Feng. Now that Lin Feng is still the admiral of the Federation, the fleet he leads will naturally be subject to the dispatch of the Federation President.

"Admiral Lin Feng, have you heard the news about the family alliance?" Chen Zhenbang put on a worried look and looked at Lin Feng on the screen.

"I've heard about it. These families are really unbelievable! It's like a dog. The owner raised it with good food and raised it strong, but the dog not only didn't know how to be grateful, but also bit the owner fiercely, you said you can't be angry? ”

"Now that the federal government doesn't do it, we can't acquiesce to their bad acts of separatism. But to be honest, there really aren't many starships in my hands that can be mobilized! Since you and your fleet remain loyal to the Federation, please protect her! I can't let her fall into a split in my term! Otherwise I will be a sinner of the Federation! Chen Zhenbang said to Lin Feng very seriously.

"Please rest assured, Mr. President, that the other party's fleet will be handed over to us. Meantime. In order to protect the beautiful earth, you might as well pretend to be attached to them first, so that they do not spread the flames of war to the earth. Lin Feng made a suggestion to Chen Zhenbang to protect the earth.

"It's absolutely not going to work! As the President of the Federation, how can I be an enemy? As long as the Federation exists, I will be a member of the Federation. Therefore, for your kindness, I can only thank Bumin! ”

But what if the earth is ravaged by war? After all, we only have twenty starships, and we can't take care of everything. ”

"Huh. Those guys are treacherous, how can they not understand the military strength of the Federation. It is precisely because they understand that it is absolutely impossible to use a starship to attack Earth. The best thing they can do is to destroy all of our starships first, and then come to Earth. Forced me to take the initiative to declare the dissolution of the Union. And if I hadn't declared it so, the Union would still exist even if I died. As long as the Federation exists, there is no legal basis for the existence of their so-called Mars Alliance. It's always a puppet regime! ”

"So there are so many doorways in between. Then, our fleet will be responsible for dealing with their starships. Oh yes. How many starships do you estimate they might have put into battle? ”

"According to the intelligence of the Federal Military Intelligence Agency, the number of starships owned by each of these families is more or less, and in addition to the necessary strength to defend their own family headquarters, they may put together at least five hundred starships!"

"Five hundred?" Lin Feng was not surprised at all when he heard this number. Twenty to five hundred, this is a rather disparity ratio, equivalent to one of your own starships to withstand the attack of twenty-five of the opponent's ships. But so what? After these starships have been modified, their hulls have more than doubled their defensive performance, and YA alloy is more widely used on those medium-sized starships, which is enough to ensure that they do not suffer too much damage. Moreover, the energy shield that uses source energy as an energy source can be activated almost negligibly quickly, and the abundant supply of source energy makes the possibility of the shield being breached infinitely smaller, unless it encounters a more powerful offensive weapon.

With these favorable factors, Lin Feng would not think about the loss at all.

Now it is even more crucial to teach these families a profound lesson, and it is best to be able to sink a few starships at the beginning of the war. This brings us to the question of attack power. Using the Shaped Cannon is an option. After transforming the energy supply of the Shaped Cannon into source energy, the time for the Shaped Cannon to be charged is greatly shortened, which is equivalent to increasing the number of Shaped Guns in disguise. Moreover, he still has two deterrent forces that have not yet been exposed. One is Helen's "Sea" squadron, and those twenty starships have the same combat effectiveness. There is also the annihilation cannon, which is too powerful to be used near the solar system, but as a last resort, let it show its "muscles", I am afraid it will have miraculous effects. Not to mention the surrender of soldiers without a fight, at least it was a heavy blow to their morale.

"So, Mr. President. I will destroy a few of the other side's starships as soon as possible, forcing them to use all of them to contain us. Then we will attract the opposing fleet to the airspace far from Earth, and it is even possible that we will have a decisive battle with it outside the solar system. At this time, you can organize the ground combat forces of the Earth Federation to carry out landing operations in the lair of these families and control these planets in one fell swoop. If you can catch the important people of these families, there will be no more suspense in this battle! ”

"It's a good idea to end the fight quickly. But the key is whether you can handle so many starships? You know, if the other party is out of the nest, it can gather about 800 starships! The disparity in strength is too great, can you handle it? ”

"You don't have to worry about that. If I can say it, I can do it! At the same time, you will need to continue to work on the federal volunteer recruitment. We can't afford to waste time now, and it's better to have enough volunteers after the fighting is over. Aden is in dire need of human resources. ”

"I'm going to do my best to do that! For the sake of the Federation, for the sake of humanity, let's work together! Chen Zhenbang changed his gentle image and said in high spirits. (To be continued......)
