Chapter 1181: The Beginning of Disaster (Part 2)

Adam Oliver and others are determined to reverse this situation, but they can't find a proper entry point, unable to balance the opposition between public opinion, constitutional principles, war environment, and human selfishness.

At this time, the rumors of Tang Fang's disappearance were rampant, which made the political situation worse. People became more impetuous and their attitudes became more negative. It is an argument of compromise, hoping to reconcile with the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire and restore it to the way it was before.

This is still the case within ZHI political parties, let alone those in opposition parties. Because of the relationship of Terry Ferdinand and other political elders, the Republican Party can be said to wear the same trousers as the Liberal Party in the matter of foreign wars. Naturally, it will not engage in backstabbing. arrival.

In the past, it was the people who forced the Liberal Party to step down, but now Adam Oliver is likely to ruin himself.

Politics has always been the most wonderful social novel.

On the other side of the no-man's land, the Sulu Empire and the Mongya Empire naturally had another scene. Officials, aristocrats, celebrities, merchants... These groups at the top of society are very happy to hear this kind of news. It would be even better if it can prove that Tang Fang is dead.

People at the bottom of society who have been poisoned by brainwashing propaganda are even more excited than those at the top.

"Traitors will not end well."

"It's just that the retribution of the natural law is not good, and the scum of that nation finally paid the price for his past evil deeds."

"The words of His Majesty the Emperor have come true. Any delusional attempt to divide Lie Mengya and subvert the empire will not succeed. Long live Mengya, long live His Majesty the Emperor, and long live the Stewart family..."

"Tang Fang's disappearance...is just the beginning of the collapse. Morning Star Casting has lost its foundation of existence, and the traitors will die one by one in regret and frustration. And the gangsters of the Garcia Rebel Army will also usher in their doomsday .The Messiah of the East? Heh...that's ridiculous, that poor guy can't even save himself."

At such a moment, there will be no dissenting voices, and even if there are, they will only hide in dark and cold corners. Because there is a price to be paid for telling the truth. It is not terrible to die under the guns of nobles, but it is shameful to die under the insult of patriots.

With Henrietta in charge of the United Kingdom of Turanx, there will be no chaos. At most, there will be some discordant voices on the territory of Edwina, Li Yun and others.

The Federation of Charles, the Republic of Dorrancus, and the Silver Eagle Group remained silent and expressed no opinions.

The Sauron Empire also remained silent,

However, it is rumored that the Sword of the Oath Special Guard has a new move. No one knows that Jaina Britannia took advantage of the coup in the United Kingdom of Turanx to clean up a group of disloyal people, and then wanted to take advantage of Tang Fang's disappearance. What a conspiracy.

The political situation in the Republic of Date has become more and more delicate. It can be said that it is even more complicated than the political situation of the Star Alliance. After all, it involves the game between Han Jingyun and Priden Almaty. Relevant agencies and the media are very cautious about Tang Fang's disappearance. with confusion.

Prudence is manifested in wording, while confusion is mostly manifested in expressions of exaggeration and respect. Many foreign political commentators jokingly call them "little daughters-in-law", who do this when they are criticized by their father-in-law in the morning, and do that again when they are made things difficult by their mother-in-law at night. In short, it became a doormat in the middle.

The above-mentioned nine countries have different attitudes towards the rumors of Tang Fang's disappearance, but the strangest one belongs to the Phoenix Empire. With Virginia Alexander's condition still not improving, the Phoenix Empire's official media didn't care about His Majesty's health or the country's future, but spared no effort to attack Tang Fang in the news media and portal websites. The extermination of the Singer family; the assassination of Anthemville; the financial and arms support for the Garcia rebels; the intervention in the internal affairs of the Republic of Date; the terrorist acts on the planet Meilin... For these things, different queens Literati wrote different articles of criticism with different strokes and angles to vilify them. Of course, they will also take black Adam Oliver, Tomlinson Dale and others.

No one knows why the Phoenix Empire is so excited, only a few political elders frowned, keenly grasping a hint of danger.

On the other hand, the Liberals headed by Adam Oliver don't have much energy to worry about the abnormal behavior of the Phoenix Empire, because the investigation work against the military giants has been deepened and expanded step by step, coupled with the impact of Tang Fang's disappearance , the internal chaos of the administrative system continued to intensify, and finally a vicious incident was triggered.

A senior military official who had a close relationship with Hirohiko Iga wanted to escape punishment, and had the idea of ​​defecting when the independent prosecutor had no substantial evidence. find him.

It turned out that after Albert and the others escaped from the Talida star system, after wandering for a period of time, they changed their doors again and joined the banner of the Burning Legion.

The Star Alliance government fell into internal strife, and the navy was also affected. The encirclement and suppression of the Cobra, Whitebeard and other pirate groups was relaxed. Now that Tang Fang has lost the news, this development is naturally excellent for Albert and others. They dare not go to the Dilar star system to seek revenge from Byron, Kylenia and others, but they can steal and play tricks and take the opportunity to plunder the Star Alliance government's wool.

Boyle sent an envoy to communicate with the rebellious general. The Burning Legion will help him leave the Hillenbel region and go to the United States of Jupiter. However, in exchange, he must pay an equal price, which can be a huge sum of money. , could also be an important secret about the Covenant Navy.

As a high-ranking naval official who has a close relationship with Iga Hirohiko, there is naturally a certain degree of business overlap. Although he is only a staff officer at the Star Alliance Naval Equipment Command, he actually manages the daily operations of several military laboratories and holds a batch of valuable confidential information in his hands.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and then finalized an action plan. He staged a hijacking scene on the way to a military laboratory, and then he was escorted by the Whitebeard Pirates to leave the Star Alliance territory and go to the Sokanada defense line and Burning Legion Commander Bayern. ? Torres meet.

Somehow, this incident was learned by Covenant government intelligence. Defense Minister Rene Ismail convened a secret meeting to solicit opinions from various parties on this matter, and finally decided not to startle the enemy for the time being, and let the Whitebeard Pirates and the generals succeed, and then dispatched the fleet to track them down and give the Burning Legion The battle plan of the fatal blow.

The Deep Divers fleet has perished, but the shadow of the Dortmund massacre has always existed in the hearts of the Covenant. If the Burning Legion did not disrupt the situation, how could those executioners seize the opportunity to kill civilians?

This murder is a pain that the Star Alliance members will never be able to let go of. From high-ranking officials and politicians to ordinary people, everyone hates the Burning Legion to the bone. If they can be defeated at this time and avenge those victims, there is no doubt that they will It greatly boosted morale and reduced the pessimism and negativity in the military and political circles.

Adam Oliver approved this action plan. In the seventh month after the Fallen Angel lost contact, the 12th Fleet, the 16th Fleet, and the 25th Fleet of the Star Alliance stationed at the Sokanada defense line, plus the secret deployment A part of the Spartacus United team at the border quietly followed the Whitebeard Pirates, left the Star Alliance territory, and entered the deep space of the Sokanada defense line.

With an armed force of pirates, it is of course impossible to notice the Covenant Navy fleet. The tracking process went smoothly and was not noticed by the enemy. It was just that the fleet stalled slightly on the last stage of the journey when it was about to approach the target. Soon after, the subspace storm that appeared in the Lost Land spread to the Sokanada defense line, slightly affected the space structure, and extended to the space-time bubble constructed by the space battleship, and the curvature decreased.

The vanguard ship performing the tracking mission in front also encountered this situation, so it did not attract much attention and vigilance. The fleet chose to increase the warp speed level for the final sprint.

However, when the battleship arrived at the predetermined location and the fleet left the virtual space to prepare for revenge, the scene in front of them surprised them.

According to the coordinates displayed by the navigator, they have crossed the location determined by the vanguard ship and touched the border of the Phoenix Empire.

Fortunately, it was not intercepted by the Phoenix Empire Navy. It may be that the subspace storm interfered with the operation of the warp probe. Unfortunately there is an Imperial Navy fleet not far from the fleet's escape point.

The other party did not expect their appearance, and acted very panicked. Without any communication, they directly launched a fierce attack on the Covenant Navy fleet...even though they were at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

After careful observation, the Covenant fleet finally discovered that the reason why the Phoenix Empire Navy was at a disadvantage and wanted to launch an attack was not to defend national sovereignty, but to protect a wandering asteroid, no, it should be said that it was the Ipsi on the wandering asteroid Dragon relics.

Such a discovery surprised the commanders of the Covenant fleet at all levels. They did not expect that the Covenant Navy missed the target of action due to the subspace storm, but God made them encounter such a situation.

Although the fleet has already touched the border defense line of the Phoenix Empire, those barbarians are always accustomed to occupying space on the high seas, and if they start a confrontation here, it will at most cause a verbal battle. You must know that no country will back down in the fight for the ownership of the Ypsilon relics. Just like the allies such as the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire, they fought for the ruins of the Epsilon on Nami Star.

As the commander-in-chief of the operation, Admiral Wahid Kegeman ordered a full-scale attack, trying to defeat the opposite Phoenix Empire Navy Fleet before the arrival of enemy reinforcements. In the hands of the Phoenix Empire.

A big battle inevitably happened. Without any accident, the Covenant Navy won the victory. It took away the parts of the Ypsilon ruins that could be taken away, and blew up the parts that could not be taken away. Then they left this airspace and returned to the To the Covenant Naval Sector.

Although it is a pity that the Burning Legion could not be wiped out, it was a pleasant surprise to be able to obtain the remains of the Ypsilon.

Adam's government was still digesting the benefits brought by this operation, and did not expect the Phoenix Empire to suddenly launch a retaliatory attack on a weak defense area. At the same time, the first prince Hegel Alexander, who acted as the abbot during the treatment of Virginia Alexander, declared war on the Star Alliance. The reason is that the Star Alliance Navy trampled on the territorial sovereignty of the Phoenix Empire, and killed the eighth prince, David Alexander. For the dignity of the royal family and the country, the imperial cavalry will crush Heisenberg and sacrifice the head of Adam Oliver The ghost of my brother.

No one expected that the matter would be so serious that all countries were in an uproar.

If the previous frictions can be tolerated, and the defeat in the battle for the remains of the Ypsilon can also be tolerated, then the death of a prince...of course it cannot be tolerated, because it is related to the face of the country and the royal family. For an imperial country like the Phoenix Empire and the Phoenix Empire, the dignity of the royal family cannot be desecrated.

The Burning Legion triggered friction between the two countries for the first time. The main combat faction headed by Lawrence, Sfinkel and others demanded to declare war on the Star Alliance, but Virginia stopped it, and Prince Sfinkel was fined to face the wall and think for a month. , Now that Virginia is sick and admitted to the hospital, it is related to the dignity of the royal family, and those peacemakers can't find an excuse to delay the matter.

Under the overwhelming publicity and instigation of the domestic media, the war against the Covenant was imminent and had to be waged.

Adam Oliver woke up from the joy of obtaining the relics of Ypsilon, and suddenly felt a very strange feeling. He calmed down and revisited the matter, as if there was an invisible big hand pushing the development of the whole matter.

He has no evidence to reveal the cold undercurrent that lurks beneath the calm waters, so what if he finds the culprit? The Jupiter Expeditionary Force led by Ingrid Alexander has already left the line of defense on the side close to the Silver Eagles, and is marching towards the line of defense facing the Star Alliance. Military forces from the Phoenix Empire are also continuously entering the front line.

The war between the Star Alliance and the Phoenix Empire is inevitable.

"It's at this time...it's at this time!"

There was a severe tear within the Star Alliance. Affected by the investigation of Hirohiko Iga and other military industry giants, everyone in the military command was in danger, which led to instability in the army and a sharp drop in combat effectiveness.

If you choose to be anticlimactic, suspend the investigation, and release Iga Hirohiko and others, then how to explain to the public and how to explain to Morning Star will be difficult for the stubborn old court system alone.

What is even more troublesome is that the rumors of Tang Fang's disappearance are flying all over the sky, exacerbating the turmoil and pessimism in the Star Alliance society. Although he has experienced many things, he has great confidence in that kid and does not think that Captain Tang is really dead. But others... others may not believe it.

It is precisely because of the existence of Captain Tang and Morning Star that the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire had to suspend their military conquest and choose to use another covert method to attack the Star Alliance, such as creating social unrest in the past, and now relying on investigations against military giants The incident intensified the contradictions within the government.
