Chapter 133 New Year
In January 2718, every planet inhabited by humans, including the Earth's home planet, was filled with the New Year's atmosphere. Over the various modern metropolises, there were various gorgeous fireworks projected from three-dimensional holographic projects. The streets and alleys and skyscrapers were filled with crowds of people who were changing into festive costumes. Laughs, singing, balloons and even fireworks were venting people's joy all the time. Even the major planets in the New Miami Star Area, which had just experienced the war, were also full of festive atmosphere.
In the city of Filton, the planet of Myersa in San Proli, yellow and bright fire dragons whistle through the skyscrapers quickly. It was the unique New Year celebration of the planet Myersa. The fire dragons are composed of specially modified levitation locomotives. The exterior of these levitation locomotives are sprayed with patterns of various parts of the dragon's body, and the locomotives are equipped with special fireworks. When the locomotives are speeding at high speed, these devices will constantly spray brilliant fireworks outward, making the entire locomotive "fire dragon" more vivid and spectacular.
On the top of a skyscraper with a winding and evil black dragon carved on the top, a middle-aged man wearing a long black retro dress with slightly white temples and thin body, with his hands in his arms, stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking at the fire dragons roaring in the distance outside the window.
"Master, the second master and several clan elders are all here!" An old voice suddenly sounded in the luxurious hotel room. When the middle-aged man turned around, he saw an old man with white hair and slightly hunched figure standing respectfully not far behind him.
"Where is the lady?" the middle-aged man asked lightly.
"Go back to the master, the lady is accompanying the second aunt in the living room downstairs!" The old man bent over and replied.
The middle-aged man nodded, as if he wanted to walk out, but after just taking two steps, he settled down. He sighed thoughtfully, then sat down at the couch beside him, raised his head and frowned and asked the old man who was following him, "Afu, tell me, why did those people from the Miami Star Zone defeat so quickly? In less than two months, they had completely cleaned up the Fifth War Zone of the Federal?"
"Master, what can you know about these big and small matters?" the old man replied with a humble smile.
"It's okay, you have been with me for so many years, and sometimes you can see many things more clearly than me. Maybe it's the so-called bystanders, Ah Fu, just talk about it!" The middle-aged man waved his hand and signaled.
"The young man just talks nonsense, and I'll just take it as a joke!" The old man pondered for a moment, smiled and said seriously, "Master, the young man has no high opinion of the matter. I only know that there was an old saying that the gun shot the bird. I guess the people in the Miami Star Zone didn't play the role of this bird. Also, if it were a group of birds, then no matter how good the hunter was, he would not be able to deal with it for the time being."
"You mean..." Hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged man seemed to have some enlightenment, frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly praised with joy: "Afu, you should see things more thoroughly!" After a pause, the middle-aged man looked up and continued to ask: "By the way, the secret envoy of the Sharon Star Zone and the Granci Star Zone have not left Myersa yet, right?"
"Back to Master, they are still staying in the Shanglali Hotel!"
"Okay! Go back and invite them to come, and you will invite them to celebrate the New Year together!" The middle-aged man slapped the leather armrest of the sofa, as if he had made some major decision. His originally cloudy old eyes became clear and bright.
On the Earth of the Federation's home planet, people from all over the world welcome the arrival of the new year with various ancient traditional customs. Although technology has been highly developed, compared with other planets, the architectural communities of human gatherings on the earth have a more antique flavor. The cultural and folk customs passed down from early humans are also preserved on the earth. The people of the Federation on the Home planet prefer to enjoy the family reunion dinner during the New Year rather than participating in various New Year celebrations supported by high-tech.
In the eastern coastal area of North America, a towering and vast metropolis stands at the coast. It is the headquarters of the Federation of All Mankind - the capital New York. In a valley near the sea in the southeast corner of New York, there is a heavily barrier-resistant military base, which is the location of the Federal Military Headquarters.
At this time, the Federal Army was still as usual. On the surface, it looked deserted. Apart from the several luxurious military locomotives that occasionally entered and exited the base and the roar of the banshee engines that occasionally came from time to time in the air, there seemed to be no popularity. The base barriers made of top-level heavy steel armor shone cold light under the afterglow of the sunset, making the entire base look particularly solemn.
However, this is just a scene on the surface of this base. In the underground base below the ground, there are bright lights, and countless officers of all kinds are busy busy.
"Generals, please rest assured! We will soon get enough evidence!" In a secret communication room, a bald middle-aged colonel with dark skin and strong body said respectfully to the more than ten holographic communication screens in front of him. On those screens were more than ten four-star and five-star generals with different appearances, and an old man with white head and white eyebrows, wearing casual clothes, about sixty or seventy years old.
"Yat, I hope you will give priority to the resources of the Military Intelligence Department in the next step to the Fifth War Zone. Do you understand?" The casual old man squinted his old eyes and spoke lightly. Although the old man looked indifferent, his words revealed a sense of domineering aura of a superior.
"Yes, Marshal!" The middle-aged colonel quickly stepped forward and saluted, and replied loudly.
The old man nodded, and then the picture flashed, and the half-body image that was not angry and powerful disappeared. The other dozen generals also nodded to Yatie one after another, and cut off the communication.
"These old men are really hard to serve!" The middle-aged president shook his head and sighed, then walked to a microcomputer, turned on the holographic display screen, flipped out an encrypted file inside, and started browsing.
This is a summary report on the latest developments of the major war zones of the Federation and major colonial galaxies in the past month. It was a risk-transmitted back by secret agents installed by military intelligence departments under the military department in various war zones and the Governor's Office of each galaxy. It was carefully identified and sorted out by dozens of senior intelligence officers from the military intelligence department after several days and nights.
The rebellion in the New Miami Star Zone was cleanly pacified by the Fifth War Zone before the New Year. Despite this, public opinion from the outside world has always believed that this was a dereliction of duty by the Federal Military Department and failed to kill the rebellion in the cradle, which caused the Miami Star Zone to be poisoned by war. However, only a few senior officers in the Military Department knew that in the year before the New Miami Star Zone announced independence, the powerful military intelligence department had collected enough intelligence to confirm that the star zone was brewing from federal independence and autonomy.
The reason why the Federal Military Department allowed the Miami Star Zone to successfully declare independence was on the surface because of the inaction of the Military Department, but in fact, in the eyes of a few insiders, such as the colonel officer named Yat, this is actually a triangular game between the core senior military department headed by Marshal Rui Youling and the subordinate war zones and the colonial galaxy government.
To clarify this seemingly weird triangle game, we need to have a rough understanding of the power relations network within the human federal government at that time. In that era, the core of the federal government's power was composed of three parts. One was a prime minister leading his subordinates to form a cabinet, responsible for the normal operation of the federal government, the other was the upper and lower houses of the Federal Parliament, responsible for the appointment and removal of core federal officials and the designation of various major decisions, and the third was the military control of the five major war zones and was responsible for defending the federal government.
Originally, these three power cores were mutually restricted and balanced. But I don’t know when the power of the Federal Prime Minister and his cabinet plummeted and almost became a puppet of the Federal Parliament. The only troops that could compete with the Federal Parliament were left that appeared to control billions of powerful troops in the five major war zones.
During the first decade when Rui Youling became the only marshal of the Federation and controlled the military headquarters, the five major war zones under the military headquarters were quite obedient and obedient. However, about five years ago, except for the first war zone directly under the military headquarters, the other four major war zones gradually began to escape from the control of the military headquarters. This made the core senior management of the military headquarters headed by Marshal Rui Youling very worried.
After a long period of analysis, these old men unanimously determined that the federal civil war was unanimously unavoidable. With this clear understanding, the old men began to try to make the outbreak of the federal civil war and carry out the outbreak of the federal government as they wish, in order to gain the greatest benefit in the civil war, and ultimately defeat all potential hostile forces completely and gain absolute control of the federal government.
The military intelligence department, which the military department has invested astronomical figures, played a major role at this time. The detailed information it collected in various aspects provided strong support for the decision-making of these old men. What surprised Rui Youling and other core military leaders was that the information obtained from the military intelligence department showed that the Federal Parliament was gradually losing control of the governments of major colonial star areas, and more than a dozen colonial governments seemed to be ready to move.
This information made Rui Youling, who was old and stingy, smelled a glimmer of opportunity. In his opinion, if he could lure the major colonial governments out and launch a civil war before the other four major war zones officially rebel with the Federal Military Headquarters, he could use the power of the Federal Parliament and the public opinion community to help the military head force the other four major war zones to fight the rebellion and war, so as to achieve the goal of consuming the military strength of the other four major war zones. Moreover, through the federal civil war, the military head could gradually control the Federal Parliament. This is undoubtedly a trick to kill three birds with one stone.
When learning that the new Miami Star District was planning independence, the Federal Military Department not only turned a blind eye, but also deliberately or unintentionally sold some high-end weapons and equipment to the Miami Supervisor's government through civilian channels. Originally, the senior military officials also expected the Miami New Army to consume a large amount of elite troops in the Fifth War Zone.
However, to their surprise, the commanders of the Fifth War Zone, Bart and Auston, seemed to have noticed something. In the third week after the outbreak of the Civil War, they changed their previous cautious style and almost dispatched all the elites of the Fifth War Zone. With thunderous momentum, they wiped out the war in the Miami Star Zone in less than two months.
In this way, the military strength of the Fifth War Zone not only did not suffer any major losses, but also allowed its major forces to gain a lot of valuable combat experience through fierce battles.
"Solomy Counterattack?" As Yat looked through the encrypted document, while thinking about it, a message suddenly jumped out. Almost out of professional instinct, Yat only took a rough look and clearly felt that the so-called "Solomy Counterattack" had a lot of articles, and couldn't help but carefully check it out.
"Lor, arrange a special plane for me and prepare to go to the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone!" After a while, Yat closed the encrypted file, opened a small communication instrument at hand and ordered a lieutenant officer inside.
