Chapter 520 Things Are Getting Serious

The special plane of Federal Secretary of State Davis was shot down during takeoff from the Aerospace Port of the administrative capital of Lubion 5. It was reported that no one on board, including 42 members of the delegation, survived. After the wreckage of the aerospace aircraft fell to the ground Soon, the news reached the ears of Alex, the administrator of the Lubion system.

When he heard the news, he was stunned for more than a minute, and other high-level officials of the autonomous government around him even suspected that they were hallucinating.

"Wait. Shot down?"

Alex suddenly realized the key words in this explosive news, and at the same time, a premonition that something bad was going to happen flashed through his mind.

"Yes, sir!"

The official responsible for the report was so nervous that he stuttered:

"The information we have received so far is that the air and space plane was shot down by an air defense vehicle belonging to an air defense battalion deployed near the air and sky port.

The anti-aircraft vehicle was destroyed by an armored vehicle and infantry shortly after it opened fire. The soldier who held the anti-aircraft vehicle hostage was also killed after a brief exchange of fire. "

"It's over. It's all over now."

After hearing this answer, Alex felt that his whole body was spinning for a while, and then his feet softened, and his whole body collapsed directly on the chair behind him.

A few seconds later, an official who had recovered quickly walked up to him and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"

His question also successfully 'awakened' Alex again. The chief executive immediately realized that now was not the time to mess up, and he must do everything possible to minimize the impact of this matter.

Although he also knew that his next efforts would most likely be in vain.

But it is better to find a way to do something than to do nothing now and just wait for the situation to ferment.

Thinking that the official who had just come over to report mentioned that the anti-aircraft vehicle was 'hijacked', Alex suddenly raised his head and said to the official with red eyes:

"Quick! Let the internal security, city defense, and intelligence departments quickly find out who did it! How did these people sneak into the air defense position!

Tell them that I am not pursuing responsibility now, but waiting for them to give me an answer, because I still have to give the federal government an answer! "

The official responsible for informing him was frightened by his aura and could only nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

After saying this, Alex turned to look at the other autonomous government officials behind him who also looked solemn, and then continued:

"Find a way to contact the federal government urgently. They will probably have received the news by now, telling them that this matter was not done by our autonomous government, but was disrupted by a third party! Even if we don't cooperate, the Secretary of State will not be Get rid of it!”

——

Less than half an hour after the aerospace plane was shot down, Amber also received a message from Lilith.

After he saw the specific content of the message, he was stunned for a long time like everyone else who received the message.

"Lilith, are you sure this isn't false news?"

"Don't worry, Master. Photos of Bao Zhen's scene have been released, and the number and model of the crashed aerospace plane are also consistent. It can be confirmed to be the 'private plane' of Federal Secretary of State Davis."

When Amber heard the news, he covered his head helplessly. He never thought that someone would attack this delegation that had completed its mission at this juncture.

"Have you found out who did it?"

Lilith: "Judging from their identities, the people who attacked the anti-aircraft vehicles were all from the light synthetic battalion deployed by the city defense force near the Sky Harbor, and they were not using fake identities. They were real active-duty personnel of the defense force!"

"That's not right." Amber shook her head in confusion, "It's impossible for the Galaxy Autonomous Government to kill the Secretary of State without thinking, especially since the other party is a 'representative' who came here specifically to negotiate."

"Could it be an insider from the Renaissance Alliance?" Lilith asked.

"No, no, no, Franklin is not an idiot. Killing this Secretary of State will not do any good except intensifying conflicts and forcing the federal government to intervene in advance!"

Amber lowered her head and murmured, and at the same time sent an encrypted email to Franklin. The content was also very simple, just to confirm whether this matter had anything to do with the Renaissance Alliance.

Although he was sure that Franklin would not do such a stupid thing, he still decided to confirm with the other party just to be on the safe side.

Soon, after sending the encrypted email, Amber looked up again and looked at Lilith. This strong artificial intelligence had already evolved to the point where it could analyze and predict some problems by combining massive amounts of information.

The key is that the accuracy rate is quite high. At least the guys in the financial business center will use Lilith to 'cheat' before making some big moves, predicting the market trend after they exit in advance and confirming several best trading nodes. .

Therefore, Amber now often consults Lilith for her opinions. Even though she often shows her "artificial retardation" side, she is never ambiguous when it comes to business matters.

He pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Lilith, who do you think is the biggest beneficiary of this matter?"

"The Federation~" Lilith replied without thinking, "They just have the opportunity to legitimately launch an attack on the Rubian Galaxy."

Hearing this answer, Amber frowned: "But the price is to 'sacrifice' a Secretary of State? This is not the 'Heart of Freedom' (federal government office building) and the cats and dogs in Congress. The Secretary of State is a cat and dog of a high level. Isn't this cost a bit too high."

"Master, judging from the 'personal portraits' I made of the president, the secretary of defense, the admiral and several other powerful figures in the federation, they are really people who can do such a thing."

Lilith paused, as if thinking about something, and her eyes began to flash with streams of data - this is her characteristic of high-speed information retrieval.

After a moment, she continued to say: "But Master, what you said is also right. If it is to intervene in the situation of the Rubion galaxy, this 'price' is indeed too high. After all, if they continue to wait, they can still get the opportunity to intervene."

"Yes, that's why I said that they don't need to 'sacrifice' the Secretary of State at all."

Amber nodded, and at the same time thought about other forces that might have motives in her mind.

First of all, the two major forces, the Galaxy Autonomous Government and the Renaissance Alliance, can be directly passed. Amber believes that neither Alex nor Franklin will make such a move to turn "slow death" into "rapid death".

After all, the Federation only needs to spend some effort and cost to kill them, not that they cannot kill them. The difference between the two situations is still very large.

Secondly, the other "rebel" forces in the Rubion Galaxy. But in Amber's opinion, this is even more impossible.

Let's not talk about whether they have the motivation to do this. Just say that they are not as strong as the Renaissance Alliance. It is an unlikely task to send people into the core area of ​​the Autonomous Government and then shoot down the aerospace plane.

"Is it the military-industrial complex? The actual controllers of the previous leaders have disappeared for a long time. Could it be that they have been planning this? Then take advantage of the opportunity of the Federation to free up their hands to deal with the civil strife, and want to make another comeback?"

This thought flashed through Amber's mind, but he immediately ruled it out.

Although the other party also had the same motive, Amber did not think that the current military-industrial complex still had such strength, and judging from Atlas' long-term "surveillance" of the Rubion Galaxy, the other party had never had the opportunity to intervene here.

Just as Amber was thinking and guessing who was the "black hand behind the scenes", Lilith's voice suddenly sounded faintly.

"Master, is there a possibility that this was done by the Star Dragon Empire or one of the regents and the princess?"
