Chapter 019 Civil War Breaks Out
On October 18, 2717, this day was originally the 220th anniversary of the founding of the Earth Federation of Humanity. However, human history took another major turning point on this day.
Early this morning, a major commander was hurriedly awakened by the guards in a deep dream in a major in the frontier of the federal army at Solomi, the capital of the new Miami Star Zone.
"Sir, something happened!" The guard reported in a panic look on his face.
"What's the matter? Tell me, what happened?" the major kicked the guards away impatiently and scolded.
"Report to the captain of the troops! We are surrounded by local security forces!" The guards got up from the ground, saluted and hurriedly reported.
"When did it happen? Why is there no news from the outer patrol squad?" The major seemed to have expected this matter and asked without panic in his military uniform.
"Ten minutes ago, the on-duty personnel of the communication team found that they had lost contact with several outer patrol teams at the same time, and then they found that a large number of local guards appeared near the post cordon. Now these guards are less than 500 meters away from our post!"
"How many troops does the opponent have and how is the firepower configuration?"
"There is a sufficient reinforcement regiment, equipped with unknown siege tanks, raider mechas, and a large number of evil fire assault vehicles!"
"What? Siege tanks, raider mechas?" The major was slightly surprised and said, "Damn, where did the local security forces get such heavy weapons?"
"Captain, what should we do now?"
"Use the space sub-wave channel to issue a warning to the theater headquarters and report what happened here to the headquarters!" the major ordered.
"Sir, all the long-distance communication equipment at the outpost has been disturbed and cannot send any message to the outside world!" The guard said with a sad face.
"Oh?" The major pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, notify the teams in the post base to remove the combat alarm, cancel the filling of the base's defense artillery energy, send a signal to the local security forces, and announce that the post is in zero alert state!"
"Ah? Captain, aren't you just resisting like this?" The guard said in surprise.
"What's the point! Execute the command!"
"Yes!" The guard agreed and turned around and ran out of the room.
"One or two hundred people fighting against four or five thousand heavy troops is simply looking for death!" The major looked at the guards' distant figure, shook his head and smiled helplessly, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "It's also a blessing that the war zone headquarters had a secret order, otherwise, if you don't resist, you will surrender. Even if I don't die, I will be sent to the military court! Alas, I don't know what happened to the other outposts on the planet!"
The major was an officer who secretly reported to Bart Auston about the abnormal movement of the local security forces on the Solomi planet. The nearly thirty frontier posts on the Solomi planet in the Fifth War Zone were all under his command.
Somewhere on the planet Edel in Poole, in the underground base of the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone of the Federation, Supreme Commander Bart hurried to the busy command center.
"How are you doing with your old man?" Bart asked Auston, who arrived at the command center first, with his old brow frowned.
"The frontier outposts on the planets in the new Miami Star Zone have lost contact with the headquarters almost at the same time!" Auston said and handed over a piece of paper: "Look, this is the latest information sent by the Military Intelligence Department!"
Bart took the information, glanced at it briefly, and smiled: "The intelligence department of the military department always needs to wait until the matter is about to happen before coming to inform you! If you have to rely on these guys who eat free food, the Federation will probably be over!"
"Old guy, give the order!" Auston smiled and said, "I guess in a few hours we will receive news about the independence of the Miami Star Zone! Let's make some preparations first!"
"Okay! Chief of Staff, order an emergency pre-war meeting to be held immediately!" Bati nodded, turned around and ordered a colonel beside him.
In the logistics base directly under the 115th Army Group of the Fifth War Zone of Edel Planet, soldiers from each company were busy preparing to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the Federation. However, the logistics headquarters suddenly issued an order to cancel all kinds of celebrations, the base entered combat readiness, and all people on vacation quickly returned within ten hours. When they received the order, almost all soldiers subconsciously felt that the war was about to break out.
Therefore, except for the three unlucky people who were imprisoned in confinement and knew nothing about the outside world, the entire logistics base entered an extremely tense state of preparation. These three unlucky people were naturally Hao Yi and the other three who almost "injured" the logistics director of the army group due to unintentional mistakes.
"Old Zhao, I'm really sorry for you this time! It's all because of me, and you'll be in a state of confinement!" Haoyi hugged Zhao Jiakun's shoulder and said guiltily.
"I'm fine. The military service period is almost over. If you are lucky, at most, the military headquarters will not arrange a good job for me when you are replacing a career! You two have just joined the army. Even if you can escape this time, you will have to fill in such a dark note on your resume. I'm afraid your life will not be better in the future!" The honest Zhao Jiakun waved his hand and smiled, and said a little worried about Haoyi and the others.
"Oh, I still feel scared when I remembered yesterday!" Seeing Zhao Jiakun say this, Hao Yi felt a little moved and sighed, feeling a little regretful that the innocent squad leader was also suffering because of his playfulness. As he was speaking, the sound of "hulu" mountain sounds sounded in the confinement room. When the two looked back, they saw Hu Erpang leaning against the wall, tilting his head and snoring with a long saliva hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"You foodie!" Haoyi was angry when he saw this, so he went over and gave Hu Erpang a big foot and cursed angrily: "All you eat and sleep all day long. I'm so bad. This time I'm also blaming you. Why are you moving your big butt when you're idle?"
"Brother Hao!" Hu Erpang was awakened from his deep dream. When he heard Hao Yi's scolding, he defended with a sad face: "I didn't know that you had activated the artillery system at that time and aimed at the minister's convoy! Besides, such a narrow cockpit, there is no other place to sit except the control table that can put my big ass!"
"Oh my God!" Hearing Hu Erpang's last words, Haoyi slapped his forehead in an extremely exaggerated manner, and howled to the sky, lamenting: "Why did I meet you, the best foodie?"
There is no formal historical document in detail about the accident that occurred before the outbreak of the federal civil war. Only one lieutenant colonel who was the guard staff of Lieutenant General Bros at the time wrote in his memoir: "It was an extremely terrible experience! At that time, I followed the lieutenant general and other senior officers not far from the convoy. Suddenly, a white light flashed at the gun mouth of a siege tank that was being repaired in the repair area, and a muffled sound came. We felt a strong wave of air blowing above our heads. The creepy feeling is still fresh in my memory. When I saw this scene, everyone, including the lieutenant general, was stunned in place.
The next moment, the area where the convoy was parked behind us suddenly sounded loudly, and a rapid shock wave came from behind. Before everyone could react, they were overturned to the ground. Then, a shrill and harsh alarm sounded in the area where the maintenance company was located. However, the maintenance soldiers had no idea how to deal with such emergencies. In desperation, I had to hurriedly order the guards to cover the injured lieutenant general's evacuation first, and the rest quickly surrounded the siege tank that intended to "assassinate" the lieutenant general.
The results of the post-investigation showed that the entire accident was entirely caused by the lack of training for the recruits of the two maintenance companies. Fortunately, the siege tank was set in field mode at that time, and the power of the plasma cannon was only half as powerful as that of the siege mode. Moreover, the energy of the artillery was in armor-piercing mode, and the killing radius only covered a small area where the convoy was located. Fortunately, there was no one nearby at the convoy at that time, and we, the lieutenant general and others, just walked out of the effective killing range of the artillery. In addition to the individual light armor worn by everyone, there were no other casualties except for the occasional blows of the air waves that should be overturned to the ground and injured.
I think if the cannon was fired a little earlier, even if it was only half a minute earlier, then everyone would probably be buried under the powerful cannon. This is really a nightmare experience!”
After the incident, Lieutenant General Bros, who was extremely furious because of his nearly death, was so angry that he almost shot the company commander Li Yi on the spot. In Bros's opinion, even if someone really wanted to assassinate him, it was Li Yi's responsibility for not being strict inscrutable. What's more, the whole thing was actually just an "accident" caused by the lack of training of the two recruits.
Thanks to Li Yi's distant relatives who tried their best to defend Li Yi, he escaped. However, Li Yi was also angry and regarded Hao Yi and the other two as scapegoats, and ordered them to be sent to the military court. The three of them were temporarily locked up in the confinement room, and the military police waiting for the military court came to arrest them.
"Brother Hao, do you think we will be shot this time?" Hu Erpang looked at Hao Yi who was wailing with his head raised, and sniffled pitifully, "Woooo, I don't want to die now. There are so many delicious foods I haven't eaten yet!"
"Dong!" Haoyi was so angry that he jumped up and gave Hu Erfa's fat head a moment, cursing: "You foodie, when will you change your career and become a crow's mouth?"
"Squad Leader Zhao! The company commander wants to see you!" Hao Yi cursed angrily, and suddenly the door of the confinement room opened. The messenger from the company headquarters said to the three of them.
"Ah? Are those gendarmes coming?" Haoyi jumped to the messenger and shouted.
"Let's go, Squad Leader Zhao!" The messenger glared at Haoyi and said to Zhao Jiakun only.
"Brother, what's the matter with the company commander?" Zhao Jiakun stood up and came to the commander's side and asked kindly.
"I don't know! But now the entire base is in combat readiness!" The messenger shook his head and suddenly whispered with a worried look on his face: "It's going to fight!"
"Fight!" Haoyi and the other two exclaimed in surprise when they heard this, and looked at each other with different expressions. Hearing these two words, Haoyi suddenly felt that he was inexplicably excited, while Zhao Jiakun was a little worried, but Hu Erpang never thought that he would fight when he was in the army.
