Chapter 6 Federal Will

Seventy years ago, the Federation and the Empire suddenly met in the space behind the Late Scorpion Nebula when neither side could defend.

The biological structures of intelligent life and social structures of both sides are so similar that the universe is so close that it is almost touching to cry. However, neither side has the ecstasy of seeing distant relatives in the lonely universe. Instead, a fierce war broke out because of some stories recorded in archives.

It is probably because this similar intelligent life has engraved deep marks in their instincts that are never erased. Expanding and plundering resources are things that both sides must do, so war is inevitable.

When the two sides encountered war for the first time at the end of the last constitutional calendar, the Federation had a considerable advantage in both science and technology, economic strength and military resources. However, the hierarchical society of the empire, which was severely centralized, had strong combat capabilities when facing the Federation.

Countless warriors of inferior races in the empire completely forgot the injustice and oppression they had suffered in their hometowns. They howled, waved their weapons, and rode in a simple spaceship, like winged ants, constantly poured into the front line, launching a flood impact that was ready to die on the line of defense constructed by the Federation with mechanical firepower.

The imperial population is dominant, and the imperial warriors are not afraid of death. As long as the emperor in the palace gives orders, countless people will be willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood.

And in the cruel war, the rising number of casualties hits the hearts of every federal citizen like a spell, because it is their relatives, children, brothers, and partners. The Federation cannot watch their children die in those distant stars like the empire, but still waving the royal flags frantically. As soon as he cried, he shouted loudly to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor until his death...

You should know that in this universe, the Federation was like a lonely rich family. They would never look at the pitiful and despicable distant relatives hiding in the Bermuda star field. Between the stars, what they were worried about was the ray turbulence, meteorites, and the occasionally wild and residual creatures on the resource stars, but there were no truly powerful enemies. For tens of thousands of years, the Federation has been used to harmony and naturally will not retain too many troops. Therefore, when the Federation discovered that countless cruel and cold powerful enemies suddenly appeared on the other end of the universe, it was impossible to react for a moment.

So during the first war, after the Federation's expeditionary force broke through the Late Scorpion Nebula, facing the empire's army was about to collapse and retreated to the Xilin Star Domain in a mess.

During the period when the Federation was resting and vigorously recruiting troops, and trying to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, the imperial invading army took a full seven years to carry out a magnificent expedition, and bypassed the Late Scorpion Nebula with great force and launched a full-scale attack on the Federation from the side.

In the comparison of military power at that time, if nothing unexpected happened, the imperial troops, which were like locusts, were rushing towards them in small warships, would easily destroy most of the combat effectiveness of the federal army on the Xilin front line, and then go straight to the Shanglin area in the core of the federal government.

Just as the life and death of the Federation was tied to the front lines, the brilliance of the charter scattered in the universe began to spread like holy light, illuminating the warships of the imperial invaders.

Part of the glory of the charter is the electronic monitoring network. The federal army has enough information to give back on its territory. Behind the Late Scorpion Nebula, they are no match for the Imperial Army, but on their own land, they have countless pairs of eyes, and the Imperial Expeditionary Force's army has become completely blind.

The omnipresent charter is glorious, the omnipotent charter is glorious, and the federal society has used its accumulated wealth for countless thousands of years to spend countless thousands of years to finally save the Federation itself.

The Imperial Expeditionary Force was defeated in the Xilin region and could no longer set foot in a corner of the federation. Since the war between the two sides started, this iron rule has never been broken.

The imperial royal family was not willing to give up and went through countless expeditions. After millions of elite troops disappeared into the universe on the border of Xilin, the emperor had to admit that as long as the brilliance of the federal charter still existed, whether it was a frontal attack or a secret infiltration, it would only make his subjects bleed continuously without any benefit.

Then, a minister suggested that His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire start the seed plan.

Only a very few people at the top of the empire knew about this plan. At this time, the Federation was busy summarizing the experience of war and stepping up preparations for war, but they didn't know that there were already countless poisonous seeds floating through the dust between the stars and landing gently and silently on the soft land of the Federation.

The stability between the Federation and the Empire lasted for many years. After a long time of preparation, the Federal army, which grew up rapidly in the war of blood and fire, organized a massive expeditionary force to wash away the humiliation of that year, divided into two units to cross the Late Scorpion Nebula and the space passage of the Gary Corridor, invaded the periphery of the Empire, and broke into the central hinterland of the Empire.

However, the Federation finally underestimated the Empire's ability to withstand war, and also underestimated the Empire's rapid development in military technology over the past few decades. Although at the beginning, the Federation, with its cutting-edge weapons and powerful space transport capabilities, had an absolute advantage, wiped out the Empire's border defense fleet, and successfully defeated all the Imperial Royal Third Battalion, as the war progressed, the expeditionary federal army fell into the sea of ​​fire of the Empire's total war...

At this critical moment, the Imperial Army Marshal suddenly launched an extremely risky leap battle, forcibly replenished the remaining spare warships of the Imperial Fleet with land aviation, blocking the exit of the Gary Corridor, blocking the retreat of the Federal Expeditionary Force. His Majesty the Imperial Emperor personally led a large army from the side of Anda Nebula and landed on the planet, the most important transport base of the Federal Expeditionary Force, with the intention of blocking the front and back and capturing the Federal Expeditionary Force in one place.

Li Pilfu, who was the commander of the 17th Armored Division at the time, shone with the brightest light in this magnificent battle.

The black m37 mecha sniped the empire!

The Federal Expeditionary Force took advantage of the chaos in the empire and broke through the outer space blockade, orbited the Late Scorpion Nebula, and returned to the hinterland of the Federation.

This war was called the first war by the Federation, because the historians and military strategists of the Federation never admitted that the last constitutional calendar was defeated by the imperialists to Xilin. They believed that the Federation at that time had no decent army at all, and only knew peace...

The federal army gradually grew up and became stronger in the midst of continuous victory and defeat and blood. Li Pivu, who came from the Li family in Philadelphia, also demonstrated his comprehensive and powerful combat ability and outstanding command ability in the continuous war. The hat of the God of War was worn on his head, and it has been...

Then, there was constant war and endless death. The empire's magnificent expeditionary force that had been circling for several years had never been cut off. More special mecha battalions began to pass through the unsurveilled area of ​​the Bermuda star domain, quietly passing through space channels to the edge of the Federation...

Too much blood, too much death, too much hatred has destined to be impossible for real peace between the Federation and the Empire. This is a war between survival and death. This universe is so beautiful, but it is always necessary to find a real master.

...

At the end of the report of the Charter Bureau, the combat command below the presidential residence was quiet. Facing the sinister arrangements hidden by the empire for decades, they felt an unprecedented chill. The big men present basically had experience in joining the army. No one would feel fear and timid in the face of the war between the Federation and the empire, but how could they not feel heavy when thinking about the empire's foresight and cunning?

"A man of the Empire almost became the vice president of the Federation. If this really becomes a fact, I don't know how everyone present, including me, should explain to the federal citizens and to history!"

President Pablo, with a dark face, looked at the senior officials and generals in the command center without hesitation and said in a deep voice: "For the Medellin project, if the Parliament Hill and the Ministry of Justice insisted on investigating it, even if the empire's plan could not be exposed, it would not be so dangerous!"

He only slightly raised his voice, and the complexion of the President's face hid his true emotions very well, but the senior officials present could hear the uncontrollable anger in the heart of the President.

After only five months of formal employment, this low-level president has successfully won the trust and allegiance of most powerful people in the government. Although the federal society has been in an unstoppable uproar due to the death of Medellin, President Pablo can still have a public opinion support rate of over 60%. In the words of political scholars, President Pablo is different from his predecessor and is a typical strong president.

"If the investigation was insisted on continuing, the people's reaction to Medellin's death would be much calmer." President Pablo frowned, looked at the staff and generals in the conference room, and said coldly: "I have signed the order just now, revoking all Ni Yingnan's authority in the government."

Hearing this, the senior officials at the desk were frightened. Ni Yingnan, the former Cabinet Attorney General, was responsible for the investigation of the Medellin special case. However, when Medellin was about to be brought to justice, he was forced to announce the termination of the investigation due to the disappearance of an important witness of the anti-government army. He also resigned in disgrace.

Many big names in the field knew that the former Minister Ni had a close relationship with a certain wife. Whether it was the beginning or the end of the Medellin project, there was actually the shadow of that wife behind her. In fact, the wife did this in fact for the final victory of President Pablo's election.

After President Pabur took office, Ni Xiangnan, who made great contributions to the election of Mr. President, was naturally appointed as a special state adviser at the President's residence and could participate in the National Security Conference. He was a real celebrity within the government. If nothing unexpected happens, Ni Xiangnan should become a very important helper for Mr. President after the influence of the Medellin project disappears.

As a result, President Pablo removed all his posts today!

What does this matter represent? It represents His Excellency the President's anger at the Medellin incident, but some warnings to some hidden behind the scenes. The command post was quiet, and no one dared to say anything more.

"Medellin is dead, but this incident seriously warns us. The empire's wolfish ambitions have never given up on the evil idea of ​​invasion. At this national security conference today, all the important military generals are here, and we need to formulate relevant strategies immediately."

President Pablo looked at Commander Zhong of Xilin Military Region and Commander Hong Yuliang, who was on the light screen with his divine eyes, and said: "We don't know when the empire will come, but we must know when we have the ability to fight!"

The atmosphere between the scene was suffocated. Everyone knew that today we must discuss the situation between the Federation and the Empire, but it is afraid that it will take at least three years to prepare for a war. However, the Empire has been preparing for...

"First of all, the matter of Medellin must be covered up, so that the empire can't know that we are ready."

Admiral Miles knew that he had to break this silence at this time, because he had noticed that the ruthless man from the Xilin Zhong family began to habitually raise his eyebrows. As the military's number one general, he could not watch the Xilin military accuse the President in person.

"The Charter Bureau has been cleaned up three times, and there is no problem with keeping it confidential." Cui Judong replied in a low voice: "Medellin's death in a terrorist attack is a final decision."

Minister of Defense Zou Yingxing lowered his head and was looking at the document in front of him. His fingers holding the document did not tremble at all.

"I have no doubts about the federal soldiers when the Special Forces sent by the Second Military Region and Xilin Military Region." General Miles noticed that Commander Zhong's expression calmed down on the light curtain, and felt a little relaxed, and said, "But those who got the video of Medellin meeting the Emperor in Bermuda... can they trust?"

"Yes." Director Tai from the Charter Bureau slowly raised his head, looked at General Miles, and said, "That's the child in the bureau."

...

At the end of the long meeting, it was already late at night. Zou Yingxing walked out along the green lawn of the presidential residence. Secretary Jiao followed behind not far and near, holding a coat in his hand, without disturbing his thoughts.

Today's high-level secret meeting was mainly to analyze the empire's poison seed plan, and then take countermeasures, and the military's combat readiness level was also raised. President Pablo's determination was made, but it was obvious that the federal military, especially Xilin, had different views on this.

However, from beginning to end, no one should have announced Medellin's Imperial spy identity to the entire Federation.

Minister Zou walked out of the lawn, and a faint ridicule appeared on the corner of his lips - the so-called confidentiality to deceive the empire is undoubtedly a childish and ridiculous statement. The reason why it cannot be published is because the Federation cannot afford to lose this face, both the government and the people, not to mention that the person involved is Medellin, who is the Medellin whom the federal people love to carry. Who would believe it?

Hiding everything is a combination of the government and the countless unconscious wills of the people. This is the federal will that George Carlin once said. The federal will must cover up the truth, so as General Miles said before, the MP Medellin can only die at the hands of the evil terrorist parties.

There was a dull camouflage military vehicle outside the presidential residence. The glass window fell and Admiral Miles opened the door and let him sit in.

A cold and righteous look flashed in the general's eyes and said in a deep voice: "No one is willing to mention it. Your relationship with him makes it impossible for you to mention it, but I really want to say that Xu Le has made great contributions to the Federation. He saved us soldiers' faces and also saved my old face."
