"Now I am broadcasting for you the emergency news of the Jade Skirt North TV station, on the night of July 20th, there was a vicious conflict in the purple locust tree sea area of the North Fourth District, after receiving the alarm, the North Fourth District Command Center sent an emergency team to the place of the incident to deal with it, but on the way encountered an ambush by unknown organization personnel, and three members of the team were missing in the battle...... In view of the terrible consequences of this incident, the commander of the military police in charge of the North 4th District, Belos, issued a public apology and said that he would do his best to track down the organization behind the incident......"

In the old radio player, the voices of news personnel and interviews can be heard, a dark-haired girl is kneeling on a mat in the living room, assisting the little girl in her homework, and in the kitchen next to her, a gray-haired old man is turning on the faucet to wash the fruit, then cut it and put it on a plate.

"Hesia, Lisa, come and have some melons and washed strawberries." The old man walked slowly to the living room, and then placed the fruit bowl on the coffee table.

"Grandma, slow down." Seeing the old man coming, the little girl stood up and helped her take the plate and put it away.

"Mom said she wouldn't let you do this, otherwise it would be easy to fall." She crossed her waist and spoke like a little adult, and looking at her like this, the old man just smiled and touched her head, and then sat down.

Hesia put down her pen as well, raised her head, moved her legs slightly, and then took the melon slices handed by Lisa and ate them in small bites.

"It's not been a good time lately, Hesia." The old man also sat down on the sofa slowly, looking at the small radio station playing news on one side of the living room, and a small screen was projecting above it, which played the noon news.

"Well, Grandma He, it's better not to go out recently." She naturally knew the situation in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain now, so she persuaded her.

"I'll be careful, but He Cheng, I don't know what he's doing outside." For this grandson, the old man still can't let go, after all, He Cheng and his sister were brought up by the old man.

"I've already told people in the company about this, and they will also reduce their business on dangerous sections of the road recently, and try to act as a group." The girl finished eating the melon slice in her hand, and then Lisa handed her another strawberry.

Touching Lisa's head, Heshia, who took the strawberry, did not rush to eat it, but continued to talk about things.

"This year is not the same as before, and it will probably be a little more difficult."

"Even Hesia said that, so surely it's not that simple." The old man didn't ask Hesia why she said it, but she knew that the girl in front of her was now a big man, and the news of the other party must be much wider than that of herself, an elderly man who was staying at home.

"Actually, Arpeggio City is fine, and the impact should not be very large." Hesia peeled off the leaves of the strawberry and put it in her mouth, and the crisp sweetness overflowed in her mouth, with a slight sour and crunchy, green and fresh feeling.

Originally, most of the enterprises in Arpeggio City were producing industrial basic materials and accessories, and there were no too advanced and top-notch things, which were in great demand, but the profits were not high, and basically no one came to grab this business.

Nowadays, the most affected are those high-precision industries in the four-leaf crystal star field, especially the highly coupled products, which often involve thousands of spare parts manufacturers and complex supply chains, as long as one of them is broken or stuck, it will bring a chain reaction.

In the past, it was fine, but now in the Four Leaves Crystal Star Domain, the two major groups are fighting, and even if the subsidiaries of each group lose money, they must also disconnect their cooperation with the other group, otherwise the alliance side will punish the internal executives and responsible persons.

St. Ingo and Edest, the proportion of enterprises and companies affected by the two schools has not reached 100%, but now under the fierce action lines of the two parties, other groups and enterprises are not spared, just like the two eye of the storm stirring the internal market of the entire four-leaf crystal star field, and other groups and enterprises are also facing the situation that they must stand in line.

It is extremely rare for companies to continue to maintain neutrality and make both sides not accuse and criticize, and probably only the branches of some giant enterprises in the Four Leaf Crystal Star Domain can survive, after all, those behemoths are extremely powerful forces in themselves.

After eating the strawberry, Heshea picked up another piece of green melon slices, which caused the large spider to fall from the ceiling, and came to the fruit plate, and carefully grabbed a strawberry with her two front paws, and then put it in her mouth and chewed it quickly.

"You eat less, it's not much." Looking at the big spider one by one, Heshia couldn't help but knock on it, and she didn't eat a few of them, but this guy didn't know how to stop at all.

The big spider who was stopped by Heshia felt a little aggrieved, hissed twice, then rubbed its two front paws, and crawled to the cabinet on the side of the living room to lie down, it still prefers a high place, so that it can easily observe the situation in the whole room.

After regaining the fruit bowl, Heshea took out the remaining strawberries and put them in Lisha's palm, and then Lisha handed some more to Grandma He, but the old man said that he would not eat them, and his teeth were not good.

After the afternoon episode, Heshia continued to counsel Lisa for a while, and did not leave until about 3 p.m.

Walking in the underground passage of Arpeggio City, the dark red coated metal floor is almost unchanged, and the row of street lamps at the top of the passage stretches into the distance like a river, at least compared to the past, the lights are much brighter now.

Closing her eyes, Hesia's perception spread, and she could perceive that there were many monitoring points hidden in this residential area and passage, which was actually rare, probably because she came here often, and other places in Arpeggio City would not be so strict.

Although she didn't ask for anything, the local government still protected this rare girl singer very well, basically as long as she made a suggestion, if it was not too outrageous, she would get feedback quickly.

Because she lives here, Arpeggio City is also isolated from a lot of outside interference in this turmoil, even St. Ingo will not deliberately come over to offend and disturb her, in fact, they prefer that this girl stay at home honestly, and not give Eddes a platform.

With a fan whirring at the top of the passage and fresh air circulating, Heshia carried her handbag through the streets of her quarters, occasionally jumping over obstacles and puddles before reaching her own house.

She opened the door and entered, and soon a large furry spider emerged from the shadow at her feet and headed straight for its nest, which Heshia had set up for it and decorated with shards of dark crystal that large spiders loved.

Taking off her small leather shoes, Heshea changed into light slippers, and then put the homemade pastries given by Grandma He in her handbag into the refrigerator, and then sat down on the sofa, her feet folded up, and stepped lightly on the sofa.

After stretching out for a while, Heshea opened her personal terminal, which contained a few unread messages, including greetings from the school park, new tunes from the composer Oldenie helped her contact, travel photos sent by Irene in the Far Song Star Field, and so on.

After reading and replying one by one, Heshia put down her personal terminal, thought about it for a while, and opened some forums and websites in the star field to see what the residents now think of this accident.

Although she hadn't asked Eddes Academy about the cause and effect of this incident, her intuition told her that this time it wasn't easy.

Sure enough, someone on the forum gave a discussion and speculation.

Although the personnel and scope involved are not large, this attack has exposed a very serious problem, you must know that the missing this time are three intact active mechs, in the hands of the skilled pilot of Sequence 5, each of these mechs can burst out with almost Sequence 6 mid-level combat power, and, if there is no resistance from the same level of combat power, three heavily armed mechs are enough to destroy a small city. ’

Not all transcendents are suitable for fighting, and many people are unaware of the horror of the power of certain violent agencies, and I think most of you have probably watched the live broadcast of the annual Winter Festival. ’

'You think that geniuses like Levitto and Serafiel burst out with great combat power and are very far away, but in fact, the current Sequence 6 military mechs in active service in the Federation can easily achieve the same destructive ability, and the reason why you don't take Sylviara and Tilan as an example is because the two of them are very special, and their terrifying speed, even if they are Sequence 6 mechs, not many can catch up. ’

"And how many mechs are there in Sequence 6? What has now been announced is that there are about 7,000 active Sequence 6 'Black Letter' class mechs on the Emerald Skirt Planet, and these black war machines with sharp angles are expensive to build, and the pilots are all military personnel above Sequence 6 of the Federal Army. “

"This disappearance is a sequence 5 'Pelican' class mecha that was transferred to the military and police after retirement, and the number of these mecha is probably between 40,000 and 60,000, which is a sharp weapon for local governments to maintain stability and deal with violent terrorist bandits. Although its combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the 'Black Shin On', it is not bound by many rules of the military and is flexible in use, and is the backbone of many local government agencies, and sometimes fights with fighters and tanks. ”

"In the hands of the driver of Sequence 5, such a war machine has almost no opponents in peacetime, and the mecha's sturdy armor and agile and swift weapons can allow the driver to challenge the transcendents of Sequence 6, hold on for a long time, and even kill most of the Sequence 6 transcendents who are not good at combat."

"It stands to reason that such a war machine, ordinary gangsters and underground organizations will never touch and confront each other, but this time it just so happened that the other party not only dared to touch it, but also knocked down the three mechs and took them away in just half an hour, during which the signal was blocked, so that the follow-up support troops could not catch up, and avoided the satellite scanning search."

"The incident is not big, but the problem exposed can be called terrifying, someone can carry out such a dangerous act inside the star capital star, and the government can't find someone in a short time, which either means that the official of the jade skirt has lost control of the remote area of the planet, or it means that someone inside the official should leak information and help do this."

There are many people who echo the post, and there are also various conspiracy theories and speculations, some say that a mysterious resistance organization is alive, it is the revenge of the descendants of those who were abandoned many years ago, some say that some underground gang is crookedly beating up, and some say that the officials of the North Fourth District have been corrupted to the extreme, and they have betrayed the squad for personal interests, etc.

The rise of these remarks, although most of them are chasing after the wind, but the deterioration of the public opinion environment can indeed be seen that many people are not satisfied with the government officials of the current Siye Crystal Star Domain, and this contradiction of distrust has also accumulated for a long time, probably from 200 years ago, when the government failed to reverse the environmental degradation of the planet and let the poisonous rain spread in a large area.

The experience of many people's parents and elders, so that they will inherit and teach the future generations, this dissatisfaction and resentment will also be passed on, if there is a government that really solves the problem, there is probably the possibility of elimination, but the rigid government and entrenched interest groups at the top, so that the already difficult to solve environmental problems are more difficult to advance, again and again disappointed, people gradually stop believing that poverty and unemployment lead to the deterioration of law and order, and then derive a variety of underground forces, which is also the reason why many remote areas in the jade skirt are difficult to govern.

If it was the same as in the past, local officials did not want to make all kinds of baskets during their tenure, and underground organizations and forces did not want to attract official suppression due to high profile, and they could still maintain some kind of balance together, but this time the battle between the two groups spread to all aspects of the star field, and the balance in many places was also broken.

Because the project cooperation is broken, the factory has a large backlog of inventory, if it can't be consumed quickly, otherwise it can't survive, and it is impossible to expand the market in a short time, but it seems easier to let competitors go out of business in today's environment, so some gray field personnel are hired.

The already strong smell of gunpowder has made a lot of official police resources wasted on resolving conflicts, some small thefts and robberies no longer have the energy to solve, and crimes that have lost their punishment have deteriorated the environment, and more lawbreakers have appeared, which has further increased the pressure on the police, and also made the possibility of illegal crimes being arrested lower, and the cost of violating the law smaller, like a vicious circle, prompting more desperate people to embark on this road.

In April and May, the situation was mild, but in June, the impact began to spread to the lower classes, and the situation began to become intense, and by the end of July, many problems began to erupt, in order to deal with the protests and social security problems in the jurisdiction, local officials can be said to be anxious, many people are worried that this will affect the next election, and even some cities began to impose martial law, travel restrictions, etc.

Although the current star field government can still control the situation and stabilize, but the situation has also reached a dangerous edge, if it cannot be dealt with within the specified time, the federal central council is very likely to issue a question, which often represents the end of the political life of the star domain governor, which is unbearable for the official high-level of the star field.

Soon after, the disappearance of the mecha team continued to ferment, and various accusations began to prevail in government agencies, for which a senior superintendent of the North Fourth District resigned, and a number of relevant responsible persons were dismissed.

Although this was only a suggestion, it was quickly endorsed by the residents of the whole network, and under pressure, the Star Domain government began to initiate some limited self-examination.

Under the influence of the previous St. Ingo Academy,Many customs and review agency personnel have detained the goods of the relevant group enterprises of the Eddes School Park.,Originally, because of the connections and the official personnel who bought the cooperation in order to avoid the review,Began to give up accepting the requirements and assistance put forward by the relevant forces of St. Ingo,Liberalize the differential treatment of the goods of the enterprises under the Edus School Park.。

The situation is tense and quietly changing.
