Chapter 408 Agnes's Attention

"It seems that the galaxy autonomous government wants to use this method to force Atlas away."

Franklin looked at the news playing on the holographic screen, and the picture at this moment was given to the front line of the conflict.

On the streets of the northern city of Jayne, a huge crowd was holding signs with various slogans and moving forward. Slogans such as "Give me back my job!", "Atlas get out of Rubion!", and "We need to eat!" were the mainstream content of these signs.

With the assistance of Atlas, the riot police force reorganized in Jayne City was arranging on the main road to prevent the situation from escalating.

The "Iron Cavalry" medium-sized multi-legged chariot produced by Atlas Industries appeared behind the riot police wall in a black and white police paint.

Although Atlas's export products have been reduced in configuration compared to the self-use version, and the rear turret of the police-type iron cavalry has also changed the 125 electrothermal chemical gun into a 15mm electromagnetic machine gun and non-lethal weapons, it is still enough for police work.

The military-style design, coupled with flashing police lights, makes this medium-sized multi-legged chariot still have a certain deterrent power.

The demonstrators did not have a direct conflict with these riot police, but chose to bypass other roads that were not intercepted.

As he watched, Franklin suddenly found something wrong.

Because he found that the crowd of demonstrators seemed to be blocked by the riot police and led to the factory building of the chemical plant under Atlas in the suburbs.

Franklin shook his head. He had to admit that the Luion Galaxy Autonomous Government's "misfortune diverting" method was indeed insidious. If Atlas did not handle this matter well enough, then their image maintained among the people would be greatly affected.

"Good fellow, so that's what you're thinking, right? If Mr. Amber knew that the riot police that their group helped to form were doing this kind of thing, would he regret it?"

If Amber heard Franklin's words at this time, she would definitely say that she had no regrets at all. After all, these things were not done in vain. The autonomous government of the Rubion Galaxy has completed at least 85% of the payment so far, and at most it is short of the 15% balance.

What's more, the riot police are originally a violent agency of the Rubion Galaxy government, and how they are used has nothing to do with Atlas.

Soon, the follow-up drone of the Rubion News Channel No. 5 followed the crowd to the vicinity of the chemical plant. When this large factory building appeared in the picture, Franklin's eyes widened.

Behind the ordinary wall that was only three meters high, a row of military armored walls that were previously buried underground and reached a height of 8 meters rose seamlessly. These things that were originally used as defense walls of military bases are now like a natural moat for the parade team.

Although some people in the parade were filmed carrying homemade Molotov cocktails and other "weapons", no one could throw a Molotov cocktail over the armored wall with bare hands.

However, this parade of thousands of people was obviously organized and premeditated. Soon, dozens of workers wearing civilian exoskeletons and several engineering power armors squeezed from the back of the crowd to the front.

With the blessing of these equipment, throwing a Molotov cocktail over an 8-meter-high wall or directly damaging the wall has become a possibility.

But Atlas obviously has more than just the military armored wall. Franklin saw that the exoskeletons and power armors that took the Molotov cocktails from their companions in the picture suddenly froze in place as if they were possessed at the last moment before throwing them.

Some people's Molotov cocktails fell to their feet without being held firmly, and the continuous burst of fire made the surrounding people retreat subconsciously like a circle of waves.

The next second, just when Franklin was worried that these people would get burned, a large amount of fire foam was sprayed from the top of the armored wall.

While spraying foam all over these people and putting out the flames, the crowd was also scared back.

Then, the news station's drone also lost its image transmission signal due to some electronic interference.

Franklin speculated that the loss of control of the drone and the power armor was probably because the military-grade electronic warfare unit was deployed in the factory in advance. After all, with Atlas's strength, this was not a difficult task.

"This is really... Mr. Amber, did you consider today's situation before building the factory, so you kept a backup plan?"

——

"The recent situation of the Atlas Group is worrying."

In the Princess's Palace in Saint-Saunière, the capital of the Star Dragon Empire, Agnes was listening to Natalia's report.

Since the last incident at Vendée VI, Natalia has become one of Agnes' most trusted staff, and the newly appointed commander of the Imperial Guards has also demonstrated that he is also very capable in other aspects besides military.

Until now, many non-top secret intelligence reports would be sorted out by Natalia first, and then reported to Agnes.

"Yes, Your Highness, according to the news sent back by the intelligence personnel of the Federation, the Federation is already preparing to take action against Atlas, and it is not concealed at all, and it is clear that it is going to rely on its huge size advantage to crush it."

Natalia looked up at Agnes, and after seeing that the latter was still listening to her report and had no intention of continuing to express her opinion, she continued:

"According to intelligence, several demonstrations against Atlas have taken place on Rubion V, and the galaxy autonomous government also intends to take this opportunity to directly decouple from the Atlas Group. As for the specific details, our intelligence personnel are not clear yet."

Natalia reported all the recent intelligence about Atlas in one breath. Although the intelligence is generally macro and does not involve some details, it is enough for Agnes.

"I feel that they are in the same situation as me now. They are targeted by a powerful opponent and are temporarily in a passive position. The only difference is that I guess Mr. Amber still has a lot of "cards", but I don't have so many in my hand."

Agnes said thoughtfully. Although she didn't know the specific situation of Atlas yet, according to the previous understanding and the intelligence sent back during this period, the ability of this private enterprise is obviously more than that, so she didn't show a look of being at a loss.

"Do you seem to be very concerned about this company and Mr. Amber?" Natalia asked. Recently, the frequency of the princess mentioning this company has obviously increased a lot.

The latter heard her question and chuckled:

"A company with epoch-making communication technology and continuous demonstration of advanced military technology, coupled with the complex identity of their 'boss', is definitely worthy of my attention.

What's more, this company has helped us involve a lot of federal energy. The reason why the large-scale counterattack of the navy some time ago was effective is inseparable from what Atlas did in the Pella galaxy."

"But the credit for the navy's counterattack was basically taken by the Regent's faction, not ours. Although the public opinion in the border galaxy has gradually calmed down after your personal visit, the Regent has won over a lot of people during this time when you have no time to take care of it."

There was some worry in Natalia's words. As the war progressed, the Regent's reputation has been improved many times, and he has won over many originally neutral figures, which has caused the Princess Party to become increasingly weak, and even made some people begin to have the idea of ​​retreating.

"It is easy to come here at the peak of his career, but I don't know how many people can stay here at the bottom of his career.

Norton II is now in the limelight, and it is normal for many "fence-sitters" to choose to join at this time. This is indeed an advantage, but it also buries hidden dangers for him."

Agnes stood up and walked to the French window of the bedroom, outside which was a large private courtyard.

She liked to stand here and look at the horizon in the distance, because it would soothe her mood and facilitate her thinking.

"Sir Natalia, you have been with me for so long, you should know what Norton II wants to do."

"Yes, Your Highness, I think he wants to start a revolution against the royal family."

"But do you think that in this situation, our Regent's "revolutionary team" can still maintain the original "purity"?"
