Chapter 624: The East Wind Blows Thousands of Flowers Into the Night

Mr. James, a ‘common citizen’ living in the federal capital, is one of the ‘lucky ones’ who has the honor to witness the federal navy garrison fleet launching orbital airdrops and strikes in the surrounding areas of the capital.

As the CEO of a company, he was sitting in the skylight office on the top floor of his company’s headquarters building checking the company’s financial report on the day when Congress launched the impeachment vote of the ‘iron triangle’.

Although he had already known through his own channels that members of the two parties were going to impeach the current federal president, defense minister and others, in his opinion, no matter what the final result was, the impact on his company was not as great as he imagined.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter who you give ‘political donations’ to? Will the rulers who come to power not accept your money?

At least in the current federation, James doesn’t think there will be such a person.

So instead of paying attention to these ‘insignificant’ things, it’s better to pay more attention to the recent news of the Atlas Group’s massive expansion in the federation.

God knows if this greedy company will come to buy the industry under his company's name one day.

But that afternoon, James, who was "obsessed with financial reports and unable to extricate himself", found that the situation of this "political struggle" might have exceeded his expectations, and began to move towards a "military coup" after President Brandon issued a martial law order.

Considering that the capital may be caught in war if he is not careful, causing the transportation, network and people's livelihood facilities to be paralyzed, James thought for a while and finally decided to let the headquarters employees not leave work from today, stay in the headquarters building at night, and not go home for the time being.

In order to avoid delaying work due to not being able to get to the company in time, after all, this is the headquarters building, which is the heart of the entire company, and no problems can occur.

Although employees can work from home, what if the public network communication is interrupted? Therefore, it is safer to use the "dedicated line" customized from Atlas Communications in the company~

However, the war in the capital came faster than he thought. As soon as the order requiring employees to stay at the company headquarters to work was issued, the security department reported that there were exchanges of fire in many places in the capital, especially near the presidential palace and the Ministry of Defense building.

Even James, standing on the edge of the dome office, could directly see the HCP occasionally jumping high from the buildings in the city, as well as the occasional flash of directed energy weapons and explosions.

At night, the capital issued an emergency notice to everyone to stay at home or find air-raid shelters nearby.

At that time, James thought that this emergency notice was a bit exaggerated. After all, there was no need to launch an orbital strike on the capital of his country for a coup.

But soon the CEO found that he still underestimated these federal soldiers who were at the center of the coup vortex.

The first wave of airdrop capsules carrying orbital paratroopers directly smashed through the high-tech dome of the capital, and fell on the streets of the capital with the dome shattered into countless fragments.

When teams of murderous paratroopers and multi-legged chariots passed through the streets of the headquarters building on several surveillance screens of the company's headquarters, James realized that these soldiers were serious.

The secretary reported to him that the employees at the company's headquarters were in a panic, and many people wanted to go back to their families. There was even a large group of people who wanted to force their way out of the building by breaking through the security guards.

Hearing this news, James was also furious.

"This bunch of ungrateful people! Am I keeping them here for the company? I am not doing this for the personal safety of these salary thieves. It's so chaotic outside now. The paratroopers have landed. God knows what will fall behind? Isn't it courting death to go out at this time?!"

Just as James was about to ask his secretary to turn on the broadcast of the headquarters building and "earnestly" persuade the employees to come back, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

As if thinking of something, the CEO immediately raised his head and looked at the sky through the skylight office.

At this moment, the dome of the Capital Special District had been largely shattered when the orbital paratroopers smashed down, so James could also see the night sky outside directly through the remaining frame structure.

A series of "meteors" were coming from a distance towards the Capital Special District. They hid under the shining of the stars on the other side of the planet, reflecting a strange optical effect in the night sky.

Thinking of the orbital paratroopers that fell before, James quickly realized that this should be the orbital strike missiles dropped by the near-space orbital attack ship.

Don't ask why James didn't run when he saw the orbital strike missiles falling.

It's not that he didn't want to run, but his CEO's office was on the top floor of the headquarters building.

And the scene in front of him also reminded James of the famous quote used by ancient humans to describe the spectacular scene of split ballistic missiles re-entering the atmosphere.

"The east wind blows thousands of flowers at night, and blows down, stars like rain"

He unconsciously chanted this poem, and at the same time lamented that the ancients were still a little conservative when describing this scene. The speed of these missiles entering the atmosphere is much slower than raindrops.

After a brief silence, James felt a sudden flash in front of his eyes.

The first orbital strike bomb hit the ground first, and the world seemed to stop for a second. Then there was a deafening explosion, breaking the brief silence. The strong light instantly illuminated the entire night sky, illuminating everything around like daylight.

Subsequently, the remaining missiles landed at the preset attack coordinates one after another. Each impact with the ground was accompanied by a devastating explosion, and each flash of light was a challenge to the night.

Dozens of rays of light bloomed one after another in just a few seconds, each beam more dazzling than the previous one, as if time itself was stretched infinitely at this moment, allowing the citizens of the capital to witness this series of continuous and independent artistry. destroy.

When the orbital strike ended, the entire Capital District fell into a deathly silence.

No one dared to leave the air defense bunker or building where they were, for fear that after they walked out, another round of orbital bombs would fall from the sky.

James even hugged his secretary, hiding under the large desk and shivering.

When the explosion first occurred, the top floor of the building he was in felt a strong earthquake. The glass in the canopy office creaked for a while, as if it would break in the next second. Fortunately, the quality still withstood the test in the end.

After James came back to his senses, he immediately contacted the Ministry of Security and asked them to release drones to see how the city was under attack. Although the federal government explicitly prohibited general companies in the capital from releasing drones within the capital, most of them In fact, companies secretly hide a batch of them for emergencies.

And right now, it’s this ‘untimely need’.

Not long after, the drone pictures came back. When he saw the center of one of the pictures, the Capitol Building that had been razed to the ground by orbital strike bombs, and the surrounding positions that could no longer be seen as they were, James swallowed involuntarily. Swallowed.

"You really can't mess with these lunatics."

Thinking of this, James slapped the secretary's buttocks that had just climbed up, and then said eagerly:

"Quick! Find a way to find out which side won!"
