Chapter 200: The Collapse of the Federation (Thanks to the Water Boss's Reward)
The nuclear bomb is one of humanity's most powerful weapons, and its power is not limited to the destruction and death caused by the few minutes when it explodes.
What is even more frightening is the damage to the environment caused by its powerful explosion, as well as the impact of nuclear radiation, radioactive fallout and various extreme weather on the surrounding living conditions after the explosion.
In the month and a half after the nuclear explosion of the Corpse Whisperer Empire, the army of the Human Federation began to clean up the mutated zombies in the radiation area on a large scale, and the explosion of the four nuclear warheads almost wiped out about eighty percent of the members of the Corpse Whisperer Empire and the super large zombie group they gathered.
Even so, the number of remaining mutant zombies is almost more than half a million, and most of them are mutated special mutant zombies, which are far more difficult to deal with than ordinary zombies.
Fortunately, after the old nest of the Corpse Whisperer Empire was blown up, almost all the surviving members of the Ten Languages were frightened, and they no longer had the momentum of the Gang Alliance.
Their communication and command system was also completely destroyed with the destruction of the secret research institute, and after losing their unified command, although the corpse whisperers could continue to control the zombies, they all turned into a mess.
In front of the well-disciplined and allied forces of the people, which possessed all kinds of advanced weapons, they fell into an absolute inferiority and were routed at an extremely fast speed, and there were even cases of surrender and escape.
And as time passed, the turmoil on the side of the Federation gradually intensified and was almost completely intensified because of Lyon's covert support.
Although the high citizens hold power, their numbers are too small, even less than one-twentieth of the total number, and there is no overwhelming combat superiority, and the only thing that allows them to oppress a large number of people at the bottom is that they also control the army of the Federation.
However, unlike the powerful and powerful People's Union Army, the Federal District is relatively close to the radiation zone, although their land and environment have become unsuitable for growing food due to the contamination and destruction of nuclear radiation.
But it was also a blessing in disguise, the huge movement of the nuclear explosion war at the beginning made most of the zombies around the radiation zone attracted to the depths of the radiation zone.
Although there are still some strange mutated monsters left on the periphery, they have become much more peaceful than before.
It is precisely because of the lack of combat training that the individual combat effectiveness of the federal soldiers can be said to be far inferior to the fighters of the People's Federation.
Coupled with the gap in equipment, numbers, and command between the two sides, if the two sides are hostile forces, and Lyon wants to occupy the Federation, they simply cannot hold out for more than a month under the offensive of the People's Federation.
But in today's world, population is a very important and precious resource, and if you use force to conquer the Federation, you can't do it unless you use the rest of them as prisoners.
Otherwise, you can't imagine that after you kill someone's father, son or husband, and their family is ruined, they will still be able to work faithfully for you and be loyal to your enemy.
In the office, Leon flipped through the federal intelligence compiled by Avril, in order to be able to annex the population and resources of the Federation, in just two months, he had imported nearly 300 spies and intelligence personnel into the Federation, emptied the intelligence department's family base, and there was an armed force close to 500 people near the Federation, disguised as the Salvation Army, ready to call at any time.
Just waiting for the collapse of the Federation, to be able to pounce on its corpse and bite off a piece of fat.
As Leon pondered these questions, Avril walked in again, her expression a little odd and a little good news.
"Boss, our people have found a key person in the Federation who can be co-opted, but you need to decide how to do it."
"Oh, who is it?"
After Leon listened, he was a little interested and a little excited, in the past two months, Avril and the people in the intelligence department have done a very good job, and under their guidance and support, the people at the top and bottom of the federation have even begun to exchange fire on a regular basis, and vicious conflicts have occurred.
Hatred is piling up, and it becomes even more difficult to erase the pain.
And the person who can make Avril so cautious must have a good position in the Federation.
The little secretary handed a document to Li Ang and explained:
"This person is none other than the current Captain of the Commonwealth Militia, Mercer."
"Our people found out that this militia captain always secretly released water when carrying out the tasks of the female governor Pamela, and even took the initiative to help those people at the bottom to reduce their casualties."
"And according to the intelligence observed by the spies we arranged for Mercer, this militia captain has always been more inclined to the people at the bottom and resented the oppression at the top."
Speaking of this, Avril smiled and said:
"Boss, Mercer controls a large part of the Federation's soldiers, and if you can convince him to betray, you will definitely be able to put pressure directly on the side of the Federation's top brass and make them act irrationally."
Leon listened patiently to Avril's story, and carefully read all the information provided by the spies about Mercer, and nodded slightly.
Although there was no formal military department in the Federation, such as the Ministry of the People's Union, but rather the formation of militias, which were organized into a militia patrol, with a militia captain and several deputy captains, the appointment and control of the army remained in the hands of the female governor.
However, as the highest commander in the army, Mercer still has more prestige among the soldiers of the Federation, and if he is willing, he will definitely be able to counter the prestige of the female governor Pamela to a certain extent.
However, judging from the information, this Mercer probably only dislikes the practices and methods of the high-level of the Federation from the heart, and if he only relies on this disgust, he wants to push him to rebel directly to the side of the bottom and give up his rights and life, which obviously may not be successful.
It is necessary to add a fire between Mercer and the top of the Federation, a flame that is enough to provoke contradictions and even hatred between the two sides, in order to promote their confrontation, so that the internal strife within the Federation can truly expand to everyone.
Thinking of this, Leon suddenly remembered something in the information about Mercer, turned to Avril and asked:
"Have you observed Sebastian, the son of the female governor Pamela?"
The little secretary was slightly stunned when she heard this, then flipped through her notebook, looked at the information on it, then tore it off and handed it to Leon, saying:
"Yes, boss."
"However, according to the information gathered by our spies, this Sebastian has no real power in the entire federation, just an ordinary rich second generation."
"His mother, Pamela, protected him very well, not only did she have some guards around him, but she also did not allow him to go to any dangerous places."
Speaking of which, Avril thought for a moment and continued:
"However, it is reported that this Sebastian is not a good thing, he still maintains the habits of those second-generation officials in the past era, not only is it very luxurious and wasteful, but he also likes to use his privileges to oppress the low-level civilians, just like he wants to treat himself as a master."
Leon nodded, then smiled like he had found his prey, and said:
"Avril, there's one more thing you've overlooked."
"Not only is this Sebastian the only child of Governor Pamela, but the person in charge of keeping him safe in the Federation is Mercer."
He raised his head slightly, looked at Avril's clear and charming sky-blue eyes, and said:
"Guess what would happen if Governor Pamela found out that her only son, under Mercer's protection, had been killed by the people at the bottom of the Federation, and that the murderer could not be caught?"
After listening to this, Avril tilted her head and thought about it for a few seconds, her clear eyes lit up, and she said to Leon with some admiration:
"Boss, your solution is so good, kill three birds with one stone."
"After Sebastian's death, no matter what Mercer explains, Pamela will definitely hold a grudge against Mercer, and maybe he will be held accountable for his dereliction of duty."
"Moreover, in the past, Pamela always wanted to mediate the conflict between the top and bottom people of the Federation, but if her sons died at the hands of the people at the bottom, the two classes of the Federation would definitely be more antagonistic, and maybe a large-scale civil war would break out soon."
Leon nodded lightly and said:
"Execute this plan first and see how it works."
"Remember to arrange for our best spies to do it, and it doesn't matter if you kill a few more people if necessary, but you must not be caught by the people of the official organization of the Federation."
As he spoke, he thought for a moment and added:
"By the way, although we want chaos within the Federation, of course, you must send people to protect those real experts and professors, so as not to let these high-end talents be damaged in this senseless battle."
"In case of emergency, I will allow you to kidnap them directly, and I will not let them suffer casualties."
Avril nodded sensibly, having followed Leon for so many years, she knew very well how much her boss valued those high-end talents.
And to put it bluntly, the Human Federation organization can have such a strong strength now, at least half of the credit belongs to those scientific researchers and scholars in the base, only science and technology are the basis for human beings to be able to become strong again in this monster-ridden apocalyptic world.
Leon's trick worked very well, the female governor Pamela was even more crazy than he imagined, after Sebastian's death, the female governor actually directly arrested the militia captain Mercer, and also pushed the parliamentary court to directly sentence Mercer to death, obviously, this woman loves her children very much.
After Sebastian's death, the attitude of the top level of the federation towards the people at the bottom has really become more high-pressure and tough, and the contradictions between the two sides have escalated more and more because of repeated conflicts, and there is no longer any tendency to ease.
After Leon got the news of Mercer's execution, of course, Pamela would not get her wish, and after the death sentence she promoted was made public, the spies of the People's Federation directly guided the people at the bottom and launched an armed robbery operation, killing the prison warden and his guards, and rescuing Mercer and other prisoners who were imprisoned inside.
forced Mercer, the former militia captain, to join the side of the people at the bottom, and even secretly promoted the election, pushing Mercer to the official stage as the leader of the resistance, and fighting with the top of the Federation.
Another month has passed, and survival in the end is already difficult, and they have been on strike for nearly three months as the conflict between the top and bottom of the Federation has escalated.
The rich and powerful federal top brass said that they did not have to worry about food and clothing as rulers, while the common people who engaged in cheap manual labor were miserable.
The high-level lords, who have become hostile, will not kindly take out their own food and distribute it to the poor people, and even some stupid high-level people have even intensified their hoarding of food, trying to use hunger and poverty to oppress the people to submit to them.
This behavior has led to higher and higher food prices in the market, more and more food shortages, and civilians have even starved to death and died, which has also made some civilians who originally remained neutral have to join the ranks of resistance in order to survive.
Without the management of the patrol, these sick and starving people have caused even greater chaos and more bloody clashes because of the corpse mutiny.
In the end, all the contradictions, all the struggles, broke out on an ordinary afternoon.
Inspired by the SPA spies, and selflessly equipped by outside Salvation Army forces, the vast majority of the people at the bottom, as well as the Union soldiers who gave up resistance at Mercer's call, banded together to overthrow the rule of the Federalists, and under the control of a black hand hidden in the dark, they took out the key figures in the past who had been in power in the Union, including the female governor Pamela.
Completed one, the bottom revolution in the context of the apocalypse.
And those spies who contributed money and effort in the revolution, gave advice, and acted as the vanguard, because of their ability and authority, have become the backbone of these people, and have become the controllers of power.
Of course, by this time, some smart people and clever people in the Federation also saw some clues, and the whole revolution was too smooth, and many key places seemed to have been specially arranged, always appearing in the right place, with the right people, and the right support.
However, these smart people are very knowledgeable about current affairs, and they did not tell what they found, one reason is that there is no evidence, it is all speculation, and the other reason is that it is useless to tell it, but it will offend the people who control all this behind the scenes, and put themselves in danger in their future lives.
And as the revolution came to an end and everyone gathered their remaining resources, the surviving Federalists discovered a terrible truth.
That is, there is a massive shortage of food in the Federation, even to the point where many lives are endangered.
When there was chaos and chaos within the Federation, I don't know which side of the people actually burned down the warehouses where the Federation stored food, destroying the food they used to spend the winter.
Seeing that winter is coming in two months, and without food for the winter, with the current living conditions in the wasteland, the Federation is likely to starve half of the people to death.
However, this panic did not last long, and under the guidance of those in power now, intentionally or unintentionally, an option that had never been seen in the past gradually appeared in people's hearts.
The name of another organization is being mentioned more and more.
