Chai Sangling's counterattack made Senhans? Croyter was taken aback. This 'woman' not only has a superficial understanding of democratic countries, but also uses this ignorance as a theoretical basis for encouraging people to hate the imperial government. But what shocked him even more was yet to come.

A man also jumped out, Wu Danqing, a crappy poet who once compared himself to Pei Duofei. He shouted after Chaisangling:

"It's time to act. If we continue to be so obsessed with the arrival of the federal army that spreads the ideas of freedom and democracy and launch a revolution against authoritarianism, it will be too late to regret it. ”

The words of the two men and women did not show much appeal, but the discussion that had been quite democratic was stirred up by these words. Precisely the fanatical mood spread.

A large number of people also chanted slogans, and suddenly, the venue, which had been required to restrain emotions as much as possible, was filled with many 'excited' loud voices:

"Overthrow the Senate!"

"Down with the Doge's Palace!"

"Long live the democratic revolution!"

…… There is also the phrase "For freedom, I would rather die!" ”

Accompanied by a raised fist, a 'wave' higher than a 'wave' and a uniform shout, Croyter keenly realized that freedom and democracy had degenerated into madness and war.

The old man, who was panicked by the sudden changes around him, did not realize until the end of the uprising that all this was just planned by Chai Sangling and Wu Danqing, the "couple of democratic revolutions".

This meeting, known as the "1127" meeting, produced two results of great significance in the eyes of the pro-democracy activists in the empire, defined the line of armed struggle, and "elected" the leading organ, the "Executive Committee of the Democratic Salvation League" (hereinafter referred to as the "Executive Committee"). Chai Sangling was "elected" as the political leader of the alliance, and Wu Danqing, a man who had never touched armed power armor, became the military leader of the alliance, although he had a retired Imperial Army major Qi Bosun as his deputy.

Even the time for the armed uprising has been set, and the armed forces to be relied on have already been prepared. The "1127" conference was nothing more than a design by Chai Sangling and Wu Danqing to establish their position and influence in the democratic movement and anti-senate forces within the empire. For them, regardless of the outcome of the meeting, the uprising will be launched as scheduled.

Senhans? Croyte, because of his high prestige among the moderate wing of the pro-democracy movement, was also "elected" to the "Democratic Executive Committee".

The ensuing situation can be described as "a thousand miles in a day".

On 28 November, at 5 a.m. in the Eastern Hemisphere, a large group of militants armed with power armor produced by the Golden Causeway Industry captured the Governor's Palace of the planet "Africa" and the important "gates" around it, capturing a large number of provincial officials.

But Governor Victor? Jones managed to escape, reportedly wearing a nightgown and barefoot through an underground storm drain. Because the rebels found a slipper with a double-headed eagle emblem in the sewers, the life steward of the governor's palace identified it as Victor? Jones's. It can be inferred that the dignified feudal officials of the New Roman Empire were so embarrassed when they fled.

In less than a day, in the "African" planet Viceroy Victor? In Jones's eyes, he was caught off guard by the fact that he was nothing more than an ordinary rabble of pro-democracy activists who had transformed into a thug with teeth and claws.

When the new national flag of the Democratic Salvation Alliance with 50 white five-pointed stars on the left red and right blue was raised on the square of the Governor's Palace, facing the rising sun in the white four-pointed star on the blue background of the Federation, Chai Sangling and Wu Danqing proudly announced to the people around the world: "The Provisional Government of the United States of Mankind of the United States of Immortals has been established, which will replace the tyrannical and tyrannical New Roman Senate and bring the gospel of freedom and democracy to the oppressed and exploited people of New Rome." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chai Sangling was elected as the president of the Provisional Government of Hecongguo, and Ngo Dan Thanh was appointed by him as Minister of National Defense to lead the rebel army. The president also delivered a short inaugural speech, saying that he would work "smartly" with the federal army to carry out the democratic revolution to the end.

Admiral Xu Hongzhao, commander of the Bundeswehr expeditionary fleet in space, soon received a note from the "Provisional Government of the United States of the United States" requesting military assistance from the Bundeswehr, including ground and air military operations, to expand the gains of the democratic revolution.

But Xu Hongzhao was surprised and puzzled by the fact that the territory was still limited to the Governor's Palace and the surrounding areas. When this group of people revolted, they used the same "color" of federal weapons as the "Restoration Army" of the "New Rhine" planet last year. However, the Federal Security Council did not carry out relevant subversive activities here, and the sudden emergence of the anti-Senate "United States" and last year's planetary "New Rhine" Restoration Army were not secretly planned by the federal government. In other words, this "new state" should be a third-party power that is different from the Perseus Federation and the new Roman Empire.

So, what will be their purpose? Why not launch an uprising before the arrival of the expeditionary force or in the event of a 'fierce' war with the Imperial army, but instead act when the expeditionary fleet is already in control? Was it simply out of dissatisfaction with the governor's continued rule?

"Victor? What about Jones's whereabouts? Xu Hongzhao hurriedly asked his intelligence staff officers.

"They didn't catch Jones, but Jones didn't show up at the moment. There are many signs that he may have been gathering strength in the shadows. Commanders on the ground have reported that some police chiefs of the Sheriff's Bureau and captains of the Senator's Guard have mysteriously disappeared. ”

"It seems that our Governor is not a vegetarian either."

Xu Hongzhao had to sigh at Jones.

"In any case, since we are all democracies, there is no reason why we should not provide support."

Xu Hongzhao, who was full of suspicion, still replied generously, but he also had reservations. “

Since they claim to represent the people of the planet 'African' and the whole of New Rome, we can only help them as an international peacekeeper. Tell the officers on the ground that they don't have to be too strict with the police and senate guards. As long as they don't point the finger at us, just turn a blind eye and watch the monkey. ”

"But sir, our strategic aim is to occupy all of New Rome, not to create many small nations."

There are subordinates who give straightforward advice.

Xu Hongzhao smiled confidently, his face full of wrinkles like the bark of an old tree that had been dried by the air.

"Big things are small, small things are small. We can't swallow a cow, we have to cut off the 'meat' piece by piece before eating it. Before we eat the meat, we always have to cook it. Now someone has volunteered to be a free chef for us, why turn it down? ”

The appearance of the other party undoubtedly 'disrupted' his plans, and this group of people was very important to the new Roman Empire, including the governor Victor? Jones is a rebel, and he will naturally 'confuse' the situation on the originally stable planet "Africa". But what does it matter? Before the occupation is consolidated, a little 'chaos' will only benefit oneself and not the enemy. What's more, the people who make the 'trouble' are also those restless New Roman people, and when the time comes, they will see the excitement and test the boss behind the scenes. If you come out to preside over the overall situation at the right time, you will gain fame and fortune.

Wishful thinking crackled in General Xu's mind.

The situation is as Xu Hongzhao expected, Victor who successfully escaped from the Governor's Palace? Jones rallied his vigilante and senate guards and launched a counterattack. The Bundeswehr Interstellar Marines, who were already stationed on the ground, complied with Xu Hongzhao's instructions and kept the Governor's troops open and unstoppable. As a result, the two gangs soon fought around the Governor's Palace.

A foreign war turned into a civil war. The invaders guarded the planet "Africa" with heavy troops, closely watching the brawl between the two sides, like a referee in a boxing ring.

The Imperial Sheriff's Police and Senate Guards, loyal to the Senate, had a numerical advantage, but they only had a small amount of power armor available and were far inferior in firepower. Although the "United States Defense Force" has more than 500 units of power armor, their personnel are uneven, and even fewer have received formal military training, so they cannot take much advantage of fighting.

The two sides fought back and forth for several rounds, until the calendar turned to December, and there were no major results except for casualties and the destruction of neighborhoods. Victor? Jones's forces failed to retake the mansion for him, and the United States of Immortals failed to expand its territory.

At this time, Admiral Xu Hongzhao finally felt the need to make a move. He then sent a note to the two 'belligerents' expressing his willingness to act as their mediator.

However, the situation changed abruptly at this point. An unmanned reconnaissance ship reported a shocking news: the discovery of a fleet of Imperial Army reinforcements.

Before the expeditionary fleet had time to make an effective assessment and response, the early warning officer hurriedly shouted:

"Enemy fleet!"

More than 200 Imperial cruisers moved at the speed of light at a distance of about 300,000 kilometers from the planet "Africa" like ghosts, and launched a surprise attack on the Bundeswehr warships stationed in low-earth orbit. In groups of ten to twenty ships, they slammed into the nearest dozen battleships, instantly drowning them in a dazzling wave of energy.

By the time the Federation forces reacted from the shock of the attack, the guys had already skimmed the edge of the atmosphere of the planet "Africa", entered the speed of light, and disappeared into the depths of the universe. Those who were hit by the Union battleships were wounded and destroyed.

Immediately after that, another 'wave' of Imperial Army cruisers appeared on the other side of the planet, about two hundred of them. They attacked the Federation fleet in the same way, and after destroying several battleships, they hurried away.

Soon after the second 'wave' attack disappeared, another group of 200 cruisers appeared from another direction, repeated their old tactics, fired two or three rounds of artillery, destroyed three or four battleships, and fled.

By the time the fourth wave attack was launched, the Bundeswehr was already calmly launching a counterattack. However, due to their low earth orbit and the influence of the surface of the planet "African", they are too scattered to give full play to their superiority in strength and firepower. Xu Hongzhao hurriedly issued an order to evacuate the low-earth orbit and go to deep space to form a spherical array.

The Imperial fleet, which came to the rescue, did not let up its attack. Just as the adversary left low-earth orbit and was massing, more frequent attacks were launched. Those small and nimble Imperial cruisers were like ferocious hornets, changing the speed of light from 200,000 kilometers away from the enemy, attacking and departing quickly. One 'wave' after another, but the directions that appeared were completely inconsistent, making the federal army defenseless.

Half an hour later, the Bundeswehr expeditionary fleet was finally assembled. The bow of all warships was arranged in a huge "emission" spherical array at a distance of more than 1 million kilometers from the planet "Africa." Supply ships and other auxiliary vessels are deployed to the spherical core for protection, and the distance between ships is also stretched to several thousand kilometers to prevent space storms from blowing away. The Federation Army is like a high-alert hedgehog, keeping a close eye on the enemy ships that may come out of the surrounding void at any time.

However, the enemy warships never appeared again, but the unlucky ones were destroyed a lot. Around the planet "African" there are already dozens of completely destroyed Federation battleships floating around.

Seeing that the opponent had left the low-earth orbit of the planet "Africa" and had arranged a spherical array that was difficult to deal with, Colonel Jiang Ziyue decisively ordered to stop the faster-than-light raid. This new tactic, which was tested near the interstellar planet "Yi" in May last year, has already enabled the 800 cruisers under its command to achieve a lot of results in the battle just now.

"'Mao'? The adventure of the East "fleet" to storm the speed of Akuberi at the speed of 6.6 was finally successful. Although the arrival time was a little later than expected, the planet "Africa" has not completely fallen after all. Therefore, after the unmanned reconnaissance ship in the front reported the enemy's situation, Jiang Ziyue launched a surprise attack on the opponent who had an absolute superiority in troops, luring him away from the planet "Africa".

Now the first goal has been achieved, but the next enemy situation is still quite serious. The opponent still had more than a thousand battleships and two thousand cruisers, which was far superior to his own. The "Hannibal" squadron has also been destroyed, and it is unlikely that more warships will be assembled in a short time to fight the enemy. So, despite the mental eagerness at this time to know about his wife Rota? Stoldt's whereabouts, but Jiang Ziyue decided to lead the way first, hiding far away for the time being, trying not to let the opponent see his true strength as much as possible, and causing a deterrent effect to the enemy.

The arrival of the Imperial Army's reinforcements took four days longer than Xu Hongzhao expected, which shocked him and worried him at the same time. He hasn't 'figured' the true strength of his opponent yet, so he doesn't dare to act rashly. Keep the fleet on alert and in place.

However, the news of the arrival of Imperial reinforcements had reached the surface of the planet "Africa", and the encouraged governor Victor? Jones was determined to take advantage of the opportunity to put out the rebellion.
