Chapter 483: Leviathan's Warning
Being able to resist their attempts means that the other side can also resist the reaper's indoctrination. If so, then the chances of the people of this cycle defeating the Reaper are much greater. Of course, the Leviathans were a little too early to be happy, in fact, before coming to meet them, even Shen Chao didn't know if this kind of countermeasure would be useful.
Compared with the actual sex technology of his nano clothing equipment, he has more confidence in Sister Xue's "protagonist aura". After all, in the bad situation that the Reaper has counterattacked the Galactic in the original plot, Sister Xue can persuade these big guys to fight.
And now that the situation in the outside world is very good, the Reapers are still trapped outside the galaxy and slowly crawling back, and the major races of the Citadel are actively preparing for war, and the Leviathan is only more likely to agree to participate in the war in this situation.
Returning to the Combined Fleet of the Citadel, after traveling half the galaxy and temporarily blocking multiple Mass Effect repeaters by the United Multinational Garrison, they finally blocked the previously elusive Reaper battleship in a small area without repeaters.
After that, they quickly pulled the net and searched and blocked their fugitive in a small remote star system, as if something was wrong, the Reaper battleship did not run away this time, but fired a few random shots at them and then slowly fled in the opposite direction.
Eventually, the Reaper was crippled by the Citadel fleet on the periphery of an asteroid belt, and then towed back to the nearest Reaper research base by the fleet. In the context of galactic preparations, the governments of the major races have made their Reaper technology research institutes public, most of which are now under the protection of the military.
These research bases are more or less full of reaper wreckage or technical samples, and in theory, such research institutes are the authority to identify any reaper item. Although this is the first time that something this large needs to be identified.
With the efforts of experts of various races, it took them a few days to disassemble the main part of this Reaper battleship and study it thoroughly, of course. Since the ship's collectors destroyed the control section before the collective mysterious death, these "bricklayers" did not notice that the battleship was actually an incomplete product that was remotely controlled.
Of course, these small doubts did not prevent them from quickly coming to an "authoritative" conclusion: "This is indeed a Reaper battleship!" "Driven by this authoritative news, the Citadel Space experienced a rapid political earthquake.
Various high-level government officials frequently contacted and blocked relevant information in an attempt to get a reasonable argument before it was exposed. But the Reaper's indoctrination agents didn't give them that time, and with the help of some media who feared that the world would not be chaotic, their conspiracy theories quickly occupied the public opinion market, provoking a wave of public opinion tearing incidents.
Sister Xue, who negotiated with the Leviathan in the remote galaxy, finally learned the news after the negotiation was successful, but fortunately, the negotiations with the Leviathans went smoothly, and these big guys have agreed to help the Citadel race fight the Reapers.
"You go to the Divine Citadel to deal with the council, I'll go to recruit volunteers, don't forget to report to the assembly place at the end......" Shen Chao arranged the division of labor between him and Sister Xue on the Budapest. Sister Xue is in charge of convincing the idiots of the Citadel Council to keep preparing for war with the latest evidence, and he is about to complete this stage of the personnel recruitment plan.
Although the bunker plan is no longer the official approved plan of the Citadel Council, under the clever operation of public opinion, ordinary people in the entire galaxy know about Shen Chao's refuge plan, and they have all heard that he has fallen out with the Citadel Council over this plan.
Although there is now a trend of public opinion denying the existence of the Reaper, as Sister Xue brings the latest evidence to reverse public opinion, people will naturally have serious doubts about the decision-making ability of the Citadel Council again, and then seek new ways to escape the war. And that's what the bunker plan needs to do.
Two days later, a heated argument was taking place inside the Citadel. Representatives of hundreds of nations debated in the halls of parliament whether to abolish the galactic readiness strategy that was now in place. The hall was crowded with people and quarrels, making it look like a busy wet market.
Several members of the Citadel Council, representing the four rogue states, were annoyed by the situation under the rostrum. As some of the most powerful people in the galaxy on the surface, the reports they received naturally also included the conspiracy theories that have been hyped up in the past few days.
Of course, as participants in the actual confronting the Reaper plan, they knew how ridiculous these conspiracy theories were. Although the Council of the Citadel has always been full of intrigue and subterfuge. But no one ever joked about the reaper.
Of course, their explanations are difficult to convince the government representatives from the many smaller races below, as they represent races that are too weak to speak in the Citadel. Almost all of them were pitted by the Citadel Council after joining this galactic political family.
They have a lot of experience in being pitted, and they don't have information channels for the four major races in the council, and many of them are really confused by the media reports. Thinking that this Reaper Crisis is a new move by several major Divine Fort rogue states to unite to pit them, some representatives are purely taking advantage of this opportunity to save their senses, hoping to improve their political status through this kind of hype.
Everyone's reasons for acting are well understood, but with the "fair" deliberative system of the Divine Castle, there is nothing they can do to silence these brain-dead people. The most fickle of them, Congressman Asari, is even considering whether to unilaterally change their previous unified propaganda tone and cater to the latest trends in public opinion!
This is not to say that she has given up on her view of the Reaper threat, but because Asari has always been the most bellied race, and their society's pursuit of "truth" is far less than the need for "harmony", and they are the easiest to change their stance whenever there is a major crisis.
Humanity and Councillor Touareg are under even more pressure on this issue, as the two most powerful races in the galaxy with the largest fleets and loans from all races, they are widely suspected of being the masterminds of conspiracy theories when they begin to take over the market.
Just as the debate in the Citadel's Council was heating up and the frustration of the councillors was at its peak today, a new message came from the fleet and was quickly diverted to a holographic projection in the hall, that Sister Xue's Normandy had returned to the Citadel with three "magical-looking" ships.
Saying that it looks magical doesn't fully describe the weirdness of things, in fact, judging from the pictures from the fleet, there are clearly 3 Reaper warships behind the Normandy, at least they look very similar in appearance, although the volume is not much larger than Normandy.
Due to the peculiarity of the appearance, the Citadel fleet immediately surrounded it, and the main weapons of countless ships locked onto the Normandy and the 3 "small reaper battleships" behind it. Soon, Sister Xue's hologram was put on the communication platform in front of the parliamentarians.
"Quickly remove your weapon locks, these are my guests......" Sister Xue's opening remarks startled everyone.
"How did the Reaper become your guest, Commander?" ”
"They are not reapers, they are from the race of reapers, they are Leviathans......" Sister Xue briefly introduced the guests he brought. The Leviathans who came with her were wearing a layer of armor that would help them break away from the planet and travel through space. When she first met her for the first time, she thought it was amazing.
Under her explanation, people reluctantly accepted it. But even so, they still didn't dare to let these Leviathans into the Citadel. After some negotiations, they finally agreed to answer the call request from Leviathan and asked Sister Xue to come over and explain face-to-face.
While they were doing something, Shen Chao drove the Budapest to the outskirts of the Boundarygod Galaxy, where there were a large number of scattered human colonies, most of which were remote mining areas and primary interstellar towns, as well as a small number of space cities.
These remote people are especially sensitive to information about the Reapers, as they know that if war comes, their small settlements in remote areas will be the first to suffer. At this time, many of them are watching the latest news in the news.
The Divine Castle ushered in a few warships that looked like Reapers, this kind of big news was already the focus of the whole galaxy at this time, once the public opinion was turned around, these places were the best places to recruit personnel, and a large number of border people who didn't want to be cannon fodder for the war were likely to drag their families to join the bunker plan proposed by Shen Chao.
That's what he thinks, and that's what he does. In the Citadel, although the situation was very tense for a while, soon after Leviathan came forward to talk, the direction of public opinion was mixed back. With this turn, Shen Chao did not hesitate to start the cheating, I mean the talent recruitment plan.
Although only some people in each colony dared to immediately follow him to participate in the bunker plan, they were able to gather tens of thousands of volunteers from humans and a small number of other races without much effort.
Of course, the fleet of the Star Alliance discovered his actions at the border, but in view of the current turn of public opinion, no one really came to stop his actions, after all, although Shen Chao was not a ghost of the Divine Castle anymore, his personal credit had been established after a series of major events.
Although the people did not have complete confidence in his bunker plan, they were even less confident in the Star Alliance, where the Citadel Council was inexhaustible and could not send a large fleet to patrol all the borders. Shen Chao didn't force anyone to participate, so the Star Alliance Navy didn't stop him from recruiting people at the border for multiple reasons. (To be continued......)
PS: First of all, thank you for the tickets of "Solen and Summer Incense".
For some books, it is said that this book is about to become a Mass Effect fandom...... My answer to this statement is: This book was originally a series of brain hole fandoms! As for the issue of saying that the plot of the ME series is too long, it is mainly because I am most familiar with the history of this setting. And soon, the halo will be reached in a few chapters, what a hurry!
