Chapter Seventy-Seven: Displays of Force Mutual Threats
PS: Thank you for the book friend who doesn't know the sleeping reward.
The day after the Propaganda Department of the Hod Empire issued a notice demanding Ouyang Yu to surrender, the prime-time commentary program of the Planet Express at eight o'clock in the evening began, and the host Franklin walked onto the stage amid the applause of the audience.
"Good evening, everyone in the audience and in front of the players, and welcome to my time again. Franklin's humorous opening remarks made the audience laugh.
"All this time there has been a lot of speculation about Miss Catherine and the Tyranids, and there are all kinds of theories and opinions, and last night His Majesty issued a rather surprising order to force the so-called number one rebel of the Empire to surrender, and the countdown to the lives of more than a billion people has begun, what does that Miss Catherine think? Will she do this? We don't know, in fact, I really want to ask that Miss Catherine, will she take the initiative to surrender to the Empire for the sake of her own people? We all know that if she really surrenders, the chances of surviving are almost impossible, and the Supreme Court of the Empire will definitely sentence her to death, exchanging the lives of one person for the lives of more than a billion people, is it worth it? This is not a simple addition and subtraction algorithm can be decided, only the parties know whether it is worth it or not, and whether they are willing to pay for their own people, today we are lucky to invite the central figure of this incident, Miss Catherine Month Victor!"
The lights on the scene dimmed, and a strong light shot to the edge of the stage, and then Ouyang Yu, who was wearing a red OL suit and black stockings, walked onto the stage in the surprised eyes of everyone.
"Oh my God, it's really Catherine!"
"How did she end up here?"
The audience was in an uproar, and the audience outside the venue was also surprised. The most surprising thing was the garrison and police where the headquarters of Planet Express was located, and Ouyang Yu's sudden appearance frightened the local army and police. In the previous video, the devastating Last Judgment left a profound image on all who watched, and the Empire's number one rebel was a humanoid self-propelled nuclear bomb. If she wanted to destroy a planet, would it be easy for her to arrest Ouyang Yu, or should she pretend not to see it? The local army and police were in a dilemma.
In the frightened eyes of the audience, Franklin smiled and shook hands with Ouyang Yu, "Welcome to our studio, to be honest, when the director rules me and you want to be on the show, I was taken aback, I wanted to take the fastest spaceship to this planet." β
"Hehehe....... Ouyang Yu didn't care about Franklin's words and smiled as well: "Mr. Franklin, you don't have to be afraid, I'm not a murderer and a crazy saboteur, and naturally I won't use mass destruction magic at will. I am a sane and reasonable person. β
"Then I'm relieved, please take a seat. β
There were two sofas on the stage, Ouyang Yu and Franklin sat on one by one, facing the audience at a forty-five degree angle, Franklin licked his lips and asked, "Miss Catherine, you already know Your Majesty's orders, right?"
Ouyang Yu nodded and replied, "Yes, I know, I came here today for this matter." β
"And what do you think of His Majesty's order, Miss Catherine?"
Ouyang Yu organized his words for a moment and said: "This is hardly like an order given by the king of a country, it is simply crazy and shocking, everyone knows that the culture and society on my home planet are very backward, and it is in a period of transition from a slave society to a feudal society. According to the level of civilization in the void, it belongs to the first-class civilization, which is only a little higher than the primitive civilization, and the people are ignorant and backward and think that the planet they are on is the center of the universe, and the stars rise and fall around the earth. I didn't know that there was a vast sea of stars and an endless void world outside, and the Huode Empire belonged to the sixth-level civilization according to the civilization level, which was incomprehensible to my planet and people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are gods in their minds, and a group of people who can't even get out of their own planet or even know the concept of a planet have made the current King Hod. A monarch of a great sixth-level civilization became his punching bag. I have to say that it is really a kind of sorrow, this sorrow is not only the sorrow of the people of my home planet, but also the sorrow of the people of Hord, because the people of Hod have a tyrannical king, a king who is indifferent to life, today he can kill a billion people who theoretically belong to him, and maybe tomorrow he can kill more people who really belong to him. β
Franklin knew that Ouyang Yu would definitely say something critical of King Huode, so he had been paying attention to the emotions of the audience, in case someone was provoked, he would see it as soon as possible and then interrupt Ouyang Yu's words, fortunately, so far, although some observations showed angry expressions, they did not attack, and more viewers fell into contemplation, because what Ouyang Yu said made sense, an emperor who does not take human life seriously will indeed do a lot of crazy things, and the Huode Empire once had such an emperor, in order to maintain his rule, he brutally suppressed the people, and finally was abandoned by everyone The Supreme Senate forcibly deposed the emperor, let a gentle prince of the royal family ascend to the throne, this is a real thing written in the history books.
Franklin waited for Ouyang Yu to finish speaking and asked, "Miss Catherine, what is the Void Civilization Hierarchy you mentioned just now, and who formulated it? Is our Hod Empire the highest level?"
"The hierarchy of the Void civilization is formulated by a great civilization, and the name of this civilization is sorry I can't say it because of some relationships, but I can say that the level of making stone tools and learning to use fire belong to the zero level, that is, the primitive civilization.
Those who have their own language and writing, produce social division of labor and class, and can refine bronze and iron tools belong to the first-class civilization.
Those who can apply primary natural forces and preliminary modifications to the environment, and have a certain amount of theoretical research and practice in science or magic belong to the second-class civilization.
With an information system and the ability to leave the home planet of birth, it is a third-level civilization to explore the nearby space.
It is a fourth-level civilization that can freely sail and establish a colony in the star system where it was born, a fifth-level civilization that invented light-speed travel and can explore the world beyond the star system, and a sixth-level civilization that can explore the entire river system by leap navigation or wormhole travel. It is a seventh-level civilization that can leave the river system to travel freely to other river systems and explore the entire universe, and it is an eighth-level civilization that can leave the universe where it was born to swim in the sea of the void and shuttle through various universes.
And the highest ninth-level civilization can create universes in batches. Define the basic parameters of the universe, such as the speed of light in our universe is 300,000 kilometers per second. The ninth-level civilization can set the speed of light to ten meters per second, and as far as I know, there are only three ninth-level civilizations in the void that contains all the universes, and they rule countless universes and countless races, and the ruled races are thriving and flourishing. β
Ouyang Yu carefully said the hierarchy of Lulu and her, which means to tell the Huode people, don't think too high of yourself, there are people outside the world, there are more powerful civilizations than your Huode Empire, but whether the Huode people believe it or not is another matter.
Ouyang Yu's introduction really made many Huode people who were accustomed to their country being invincible suspect that she was lying. But there are also many Hord people who believe in her words, because after watching the battle video of the Tyranid Zerg, many Hod people have broken the myth of invincibility in their hearts, if the Hod Empire is really invincible, why did it lose its territory one after another in front of a group of bugs, and also sent tens of billions of people to the mouths of bugs.
Franklin smiled reluctantly, he was one of the people who believed that the Hodder Empire was undefeated, and he asked Ouyang Yu again, "Miss Catherine, what is the main purpose of your coming to our studio today?"
"The main purpose is to respond to the announcement of His Majesty King Huod, but before I respond, I have a video here, please let the director show it for me. Ouyang Yu took out a small storage tray and handed it to the staff who came up.
The director began to play her video according to Ouyang Yu's request, and a huge holographic screen rose on the spot. In the screen is a black cosmic space, a huge space battleship is like the stars holding the moon and is guarded by many small warships, that huge battleship is the undead avengers, not far from the undead avengers there is something like an antenna pot. The long triangular antenna was aimed at a distant planet, an uninhabitable planet with an atmosphere.
A female voice appeared on the screen, and this female voice shouted three two one countdown. The antenna pot suddenly shot out a huge beam of light, which crossed the universe and hit the planet that had just been targeted more than a minute later. The next amazing thing happened, and the atmosphere of the planet that was hit was blown away by the beam almost instantly. The huge beam of light hit the surface of the planet, and the continental plates of the hit planet began to crack in the screen, even from the position where the beam was launched, you can see the hot magma and plate boundaries that emerged when the plates broke, and then swept through the entire planet Energy Shock Wave covered all places, the originally calm brown planet now turned into a burning fireball, and the place where it was hit even turned into a circular magma sea, the size of which was half the size of Australia.
The five-minute video ended, and Ouyang Yu said solemnly to the camera: " His Majesty King Hod, I am playing this video to tell you please stop the senseless killing, the super weapon that destroys the planet is not only you, I also have it, and there is more than one means, if you really order your fleet to throw EP03 on my home planet, then I can only retaliate back, there is only one of my home planets, and there are thousands of planets under your rule, me and my fleet can freely travel to and from any planet of the Hod Empire without a stargate, including your Hod star, the war has nothing to do with civilians, and please don't pull innocent civilians into our war, Mr. Franklin, I'm doneγ β
Ouyang Yu stood up and bowed slightly to Franklin and the audience, and then opened the golden gate of time and space and walked away, leaving a bunch of stunned people.
Ouyang Yu's voice and display of force spread to every corner of the Hod Empire, causing a huge panic in the entire Hod Empire, the thing that looked like an antenna pot was actually the big killer Genesis in the Gundam Seed World, which was improved by Lulu to be more powerful, the preparation time was shorter, and it could be launched every half an hour, and there was no need to change the launch mirror like the original.
The incomparable power of Genesis made all the Horders feel truly threatened, and no one wants such a thing to appear above their heads one day, and then turn their inhabited planet into a glass ball with a single shot.
In the face of the threat of Genesis, there are many people who hate Ouyang Yu, but even more people resented King Huode. Because in the show, Ouyang Yu made it very clear that it was King Huo who first threatened Ouyang Yu's home star and shouted to kill all the people above. Then Ouyang Yu was forced to take out a big killing weapon out of desperation, so ordinary Hode people were very disgusted by King Hod's brutal and willful approach.
That night, the media controlled by the Senate hyped Ouyang Yu's display of force. Slamming King Hodder's decision to demand that King Hod unconditionally withdraw his order to throw EP03 at Ouyang Yu's home planet.
An expert: "It is precisely because the imperial power is not supervised that our innocent Hodder people are in danger, if the policy of unlimited occupation is abolished earlier, we will not provoke Catherine and Tyranid, the two great enemies inside and outside, and our young lads will not be sent to the battlefield and lose their lives, let alone develop to the present that even our ordinary Hod people will be threatened by their lives, it is time to limit the imperial power, otherwise our Hod Empire will probably be completely destroyed one day." β
A certain professor: "The universe is so big, the star field ruled by our Hod Empire is just a drop in the ocean, we should guard against arrogance and rashness, and wake up from time to time, instead of being arrogant and complacent." Miss Catherine has provided us with extremely important information, there is a universe beyond the universe, and it seems that the infinite universe is just a grain of gravel in the truly infinite void, not to mention the ninth-level civilization that can create the zΓ o universe like a god's mansion, even if it is a seventh-level civilization that can freely cross the river system, we are not opponents, if the empire provokes an invincible enemy because of the current policy, it is not known that it is a small group of people who need to pay the price, but the people of our entire empire, we need to reflect on the current policy. We are not invincible. β
In the media of the Hode Empire, there were all kinds of voices of decline, and various well-known commentators jumped out to criticize the current policies of the Hod Empire. Playing with the so-called public opinion and guiding public opinion is not the patent of the Senate, and under the hint of King Hodder, the state-owned media of the Hodder Empire and some other media have also invited many celebrities to escort the current policy.
A certain public knower: "It is impossible to go wrong with the policy of the Empire, think that thousands of years ago, our Hod Empire was just an unknown small empire in the universe." It is precisely the heroic struggle of our ancestors and the incomparably correct expansionist policies of successive emperors that have determined the territory of our empire today, and these achievements cannot be denied by some people's words. We should unswervingly pursue a policy of expansion and spread the glory of our Hodder people throughout the universe!"
An elite: "Yesterday the Empire's number one rebel." A stupid woman from a rural planet told a big lie in front of all of us, a ninth-level civilization? shuttle through the universe to travel freely to various worlds?create a ninth-level civilization in the universe? these are all bluffs imagined by that stupid woman who has lost her heart and gone crazy, if there is, then ask her to come up with evidence, but she doesn't, she is just talking nonsense with a mouth, the imperial academy of sciences uses advanced instruments to observe the universe for many years, can you know where the edge of the universe is? How could a stupid woman from a country planet know about it, and also know about things outside the universe, citizens, believe in our empire, imagine the great emperor and the government he leads, instead of blindly listening to the words of a small group of people who betray the interests of the empire and collude with the enemy, our Hod Empire is invincible, and we can defeat a single enemy!"
In the media, you sang and I appeared, all kinds of gossip and rumors flew all over the sky, and ordinary Hodder people listened to these so-called experts, professors, public knowledge, The generals and officers loyal to King Hodder and the Senate preached their ideas to the soldiers below all day long, and the soldiers did not know who they were fighting for and why, so many soldiers were reluctant to go to the front line to fight, and desertions abounded, and the entire Hod Empire society was gradually in turmoil.
"Your Majesty, your approach is too inconsiderate, and please withdraw the order to release EP03!"
In the hall of the Senate of Hodstar, a councillor said loudly to King Hodder, who was sitting on the throne, and just after the councillor finished speaking, another councillor stood up and shouted: " Your Majesty, if you don't take back the order to put EP03, then Catherine will definitely retaliate back, she made it very clear in the Star News, there is only one of her home planets, but there are thousands of administrative stars in our Empire, with her advanced jumping technology, Catherine may appear in the sky above any planet in the Empire to retaliate, Your Majesty I don't know if there is a way for you to stop Catherine's revenge on the Empire?"
"Your Majesty, Catherine's home planet is already the territory of the empire both theoretically and practically, and the alien nations above it are already your subjects, and you will kill all of your people without the slightest fault, and you will broadcast them all over the country, what will you make other alien people in the empire think if you do this? According to statistics, because of the unequal ethnic policy of the Empire, the riots of foreign races have increased by 33% compared with previous years, and the Imperial government has not only not delved into the root causes, but has suppressed them strongly, which will only cause a greater backlash from the foreign peoples, and the Empire should change its policy and improve the living conditions of the foreign peoples to reduce their revolt. β
"Your Majesty ......!"
"Your Majesty ......!"
The parliamentarians spoke one after another, raising more and more acute questions, and the content of what they said also pointed to King Hodder's policy mistakes in recent years, which made King Hod feel that his power was under strict threat, and King Hodder, who was angered by the parliamentarians, slapped the table heavily and shouted: "Enough, shut up for me!"
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the parliamentarians also knew that it was not easy to force too much, and quietly waited for King Hodder's speech.
"Bang!"
The door of the council hall was rudely slammed open by an officer, and King Hodder, who was just about to speak, was forced to interrupt his speech, looking at the officer with a displeased face, and was about to find a reason to kill him, but then the officer said something that made King Hod immediately forget his faux pas.
"Oh no, Catherine's fleet has appeared in the economic center of the empire with that superweapon, Jonew!"
"What?!" Γ N, everyone present was taken aback, except for a few of them, who hid their snickering expressions very well, and after making eye contact, one of them spoke: " This must be a move made by that Catherine in order to prepare for revenge on the Empire, if Her Majesty insists on dropping EP03 on her home planet, I am sure that Catherine will never raze Yoniu to the ground, Your Majesty, please withdraw the order and send an envoy to negotiate peace with Catherine, otherwise once Yoniu is destroyed, the financial industry of the Empire will suffer huge losses, and the billions of Imperial citizens above will also become hellish souls, Your Majesty XiΓ please give an order!"
"Your Majesty, please give the order!" ΓN, all the councilors present opened their mouths to put pressure on King Hodder.
What will King Hodder do? See tomorrow's chapter. (To be continued......)
