The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 273 272. There was no choice before

The colonized galaxies were even more indignant than the "party involved" Slade Galaxy, which was something the Earth Federal Government had not expected.

But this is also reasonable.

After all, from the very beginning, the federal government's definition of the colonial galaxy's armed forces was cheap cannon fodder.

Millions of colonial galaxy armed forces were deployed to the Arachi Zerg colony planet.

The expeditionary force delivered some necessary supplies every once in a while, but other than that, there was no other support.

Heavy firepower support? Intelligence support? Starship force linkage?
None of these were available. The expeditionary force completely adopted a laissez-faire approach to the armed forces of these colonial galaxies, allowing them to fend for themselves.

All the resources of the expeditionary force were concentrated on the federal troops.

Although within the federal government, the Mobile Infantry Regiment is considered a "chess piece" for ground advancement and a military force that can be expended.

But their treatment is still the most luxurious among the expeditionary ground offensive forces.

It is far beyond the reach of the colonial galaxy's armed forces.

The federal government's undisguised discriminatory treatment has caused dissatisfaction among the colonial galaxies.

But considering that they are the main force of the Federation, with strong combat effectiveness and strong background, the colonial galaxy armed forces are indeed not very impressive in comparison.

Therefore, most of the colonial galaxies' complaints against the federal government remain merely verbal.

But after the Battle of Whiskey Post, the Redemption Army, which had made great contributions, had their credit snatched away.

How powerful are the Zerg forces? How could the colonial galaxy armed forces, who have personally fought against them, not know?
What kind of trouble can the "Tough Guy Group" of less than 500 people create when faced with a swarm of tens of thousands of Zerg soldiers of various types and without heavy firepower support?
The Redemption Army is the biggest contributor to the "Battle of Whiskey Post"!
There is absolutely no doubt about this.

Considering the identity and background of the Redemption Army, other troops that are also part of the colonial galaxy's armed forces were shocked, but also felt honored.

'Who says our colony galaxy's armed forces are rubbish?
The Redemption Army has vindicated us!'

'What's so great about the main force of the Federation? Aren't they still being surrounded and brutally bullied by the insect swarm?

If it weren't for the Redemption Army, the elite Federal Mobile Corps, the Hard Man Corps, would have been wiped out long ago.'

'The so-called main force of the Federation is not worthy of its reputation.

The combat effectiveness is just so-so, it all depends on equipment and resources.

If we were given the same resources, who knows who would be better! '

……

For a time, similar remarks were rampant within the military forces of the expeditionary colony galaxy.

Just as the Redemption Army's achievements greatly inspired and boosted the morale of the colonial galaxy's armed forces.

The federal government's biased reporting and propaganda on the "Battle of Whiskey Post" sparked collective anger in the colonial galaxies.

The heads of the armed forces of the various colonial galaxies united together and claimed that they wanted justice for the Thraide galaxy and the real heroes, the Redemption Army.

The heads of more than 300 colonial galaxy armed forces went to the expeditionary command flagship to question the expeditionary supreme commander in person and demanded a reasonable answer.

The colonial galaxy troops that had been dispatched to various Zerg colony planets also began to "strike".

It is hard to say that the colonial galaxies are not taking this opportunity to rebel against the United Government and the "bullying" of the expeditionary forces.

No one is willing to be cannon fodder.

There was no choice before, but now the Redemption Army’s achievements have become the greatest confidence of the colonized galaxies.

The expeditionary force's supreme commander was extremely shocked by this military action which was infinitely close to "mutiny".

Less than half a year had passed since he took over as the supreme commander of the expeditionary force. He had finally achieved brilliant results and was able to consolidate his position.

Unexpectedly, these colonial galaxy armed forces launched a military mutiny against him in the blink of an eye.

The mutiny within the Federation's military forces was far more serious than the threat posed by the Zerg forces to the expeditionary force.

Hundreds of armed forces in colonial galaxies, although they are classified as cannon fodder in terms of combat effectiveness.

But behind them are major colonial galaxies that the Earth Federation Government absolutely cannot ignore.

"Marshal! These guys are so arrogant!
This is a provocation to our federal government forces!
These country bumpkins who colonized the galaxies must be severely punished to let them know who the real elite troops are!

With just one order from you, the Expeditionary Force Mobile Infantry Regiment will wipe out these mutinous troops!"

The expeditionary force's supreme commander was distressed by the news of armed mutinies in many colonial galaxies.

The commander of a mobile infantry regiment of the expeditionary force tried to offer advice to the supreme commander.

"Are you crazy?!
They just want fairness, and you're going to kill them all?
You want to start a civil war in the Federation?!"

The Supreme Commander's eyes were so gloomy that they seemed to want to eat someone.

The military and political leaders within the federal government know better than anyone how important the various colonized galaxies are to the federal government.

If this mutiny eventually triggered a civil war between the federal government and the local colonial galaxies, he, as the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, would surely be nailed to the pillar of shame forever and be cursed for all eternity.

"Pass the order to me!
All federal troops must exercise restraint and are not allowed to point their guns at friendly forces!

Without my order, no one is allowed to fire the first shot!"

Because of this mutiny, the entire expeditionary force came to a standstill on the battlefield.

Far away on our home planet Earth, the federal government was also caught in an unprecedented political storm.

Through propaganda from various colonial galaxies and the major financial groups, companies, and family forces behind them, more and more people in the federal government have learned about the tricks behind the "Battle of Whiskey Post."

Rumors that the federal government had seized credit for the armed forces of the colonial galaxies, and that even its main elite forces were inferior to the armed forces of the remote colonial galaxies, spread like wildfire within the federation.

The new interstellar marshal acted decisively and immediately announced to the outside world that he would conduct a thorough investigation of the matter.

Just three hours later, it was announced that the matter was a problem for the head of the federal agency's publicity department.

Marshal Lip, who was in charge of literature, art and propaganda, died heroically in the "Battle of Whiskey Post".

The temporary head of the propaganda department held a grudge against the Redemption Army for failing to rescue Marshal Lip, so he deliberately ignored the Redemption Army's contribution in his propaganda.

The new interstellar marshal expressed his deep apologies for the incident caused by this "temporary worker".

And promised to more strictly scrutinize people working within the government.

At the same time, in order to ease the tense atmosphere between the colonial galaxy armed forces and the federal troops in the expeditionary force.

The interstellar marshal announced the replacement of the expeditionary army's supreme commander, dispatching a high-ranking federal military commander with a colonial galaxy background to the expeditionary army to take over and mediate. He also promised that in the future, he would pay attention to the treatment of colonial galaxy armed forces in the expeditionary army and put an end to the differential treatment that has been criticized.

Finally, in order to completely resolve the impact of this "misunderstanding", the new interstellar marshal announced that he would personally go to the Clandaff galaxy to pay front-line condolences to the Redemption Army and the Expeditionary Force.

After a series of crisis public relations, the adverse impact of this incident was minimized.

Although many people in the Federation knew clearly that the head of the propaganda department was just a scapegoat.

But at least in its attitude towards problem-solving, the federal government gets a passing grade.

The representatives of the colonial galaxies could no longer make use of the issue and reluctantly accepted the federal government's remedial measures.

But through this "joint abdication" action, the various colonial galaxies realized that their combined power was so powerful.

Prior to this, the federal government had undisputed and absolute dominance in the military field.

The colonized galaxies did not dare to have any thoughts of confrontation.

But after the events of the "Crandaff Rout" and the "Battle of Whiskey Post".

The federal government’s military myth was shattered.

The Redemption Army's achievements have made many colonial galaxies begin to realize the importance of "guns".

On the surface, as the storm passed, its impact gradually disappeared.

However, all the colonized galaxies began to frantically expand the size of their military armed forces, vigorously develop weapons manufacturing, and seek greater progress in the military field.

Although the Redemption Army is the protagonist at the center of the storm, the impact it has received is not that great.

There was no feeling of anger among the Redemption Army about being treated differently in the victory propaganda of the "Battle of Whiskey Post".

Because they value the voices within the coalition government more than advocacy within the federal government system.

The United Government Forces highly praised the performance of the Redemption Army in its military operations on Planet P.

Under the premise that the indigenous troops accounted for more than half and many advanced technological weapons were not equipped, they successfully and neatly eliminated the Arachi insect swarm troops on the front battlefield.

It proves that the United Government Army, which is not composed mainly of Interstellar Legion soldiers, can also fight against the Zerg troops from other dimensions.

More than 30,000 indigenous troops and coalition government soldiers who were killed or injured will receive due pensions and compensation.

The immediate family members of the fallen soldiers will be the responsibility of the coalition government in the future.

Direct descendants of Aboriginal war dead will automatically be granted citizenship by the Coalition government.

The direct descendants of the fallen soldiers of the United Nations Government Army will be eligible to join the United Nations Government Army.

As the coalition government has always advertised, plane war is the foundation of the coalition government.

The people of the United Government will receive due treatment and rewards for every drop of blood they shed for the United Government in the plane war.

The coalition government will never let its people shed blood and tears.

After their worries were resolved, the people of the United Government, especially the indigenous people who had been unable to obtain citizenship, became even more crazy.

There were even many wounded soldiers in the Redemption Army who expressed regret and secretly resolved to fight even harder in the next battle.

Even if one dies on the battlefield, it is worth it if one can resolve the worries of his family and allow his children to "step into heaven" and obtain the precious citizenship qualification.

The Redemption Army was excitedly discussing the affairs within the coalition government, and naturally had no interest in the federal government.

Since the end of the "Battle of Whiskey Post", the Redemption Army returned to its base on Planet P.

The 20,000 indigenous "engineers" who stayed behind have built complete defensive fortifications in the garrison area.

As the "Battle of Whiskey Post" incident continued to ferment, more and more armed leaders of colonial galaxies began to come to visit under the pretext of something.

Everyone wanted to know what a colonial armed force looked like that was more powerful than the federal government's elite forces on the front battlefield.

It has to be said that everything displayed within the Redemption Army perfectly matched their mental image of such a powerful army.

Disciplined soldiers, endless individual weapons, an average height of more than two meters, strong warriors who looked like they were grown up on fertilizer, and the heavy metal armor they wore was very intimidating...

All of this is a strong support for the Redemption Army to win on the Zerg front battlefield.

The Redemption Army's achievements have won the respect of all colonial galaxy armed forces.

For the troops that also come from the "non-federal lineage", each colonial galaxy itself has certain interests.

“We should unite and have more communication and interaction.

Only by concentrating our strength can we truly change the expeditionary force's prejudice against us!
Any oppression and discrimination against the Redemption Army is oppression and discrimination against all of our colonial galaxy armed forces!"

Listening to the decisive voices of the armed leaders of various colonial galaxies, Knight Commander Siegel was a little dazed for a moment.

'These guys think I'm their big brother?'

Before this, the armed forces of various colonial galaxies were not under the jurisdiction of each other, and no one submitted to anyone else, so they were like a pile of loose sand.

Through the previous "forcing the palace" action, everyone realized the power of unity.

The Redemption Army's battle record is impeccable, so it will naturally convince the public.

It is natural for the armed forces of the various colonial galaxies to hope that the Redemption Army can "speak for" them, form a common interest group, and fight for the interests of the colonial galaxies within the expeditionary force.

Although the combat effectiveness of the colonial armed forces is indeed vulnerable, the political power brought by the hundreds of colonial galaxies behind them is something that Knight Commander Siegel cannot ignore.

As the commander of the Redemption Army and the head of the Thraide Galaxy's colonial armed forces appointed by the United Government, Knight Commander Siegel would naturally not refuse such an opportunity to expand the Thraide Galaxy's influence within the federal government.

The serious business was over, but the heads of the armed forces of each colonial galaxy were reluctant to leave.

His eyes were staring unabashedly at the Redemption Army camp, at the tall Redemption Army soldiers whose male hormones were almost overflowing.

It is no exaggeration to say that the eyes of these armed leaders of colonial galaxies are like those of resentful women in the boudoir who have been imprisoned for many years and are seeing a man for the first time.

Especially when seeing those individual military equipments whose styles are very different from those of the federal government.

If possible, they also want such elite soldiers and such advanced military equipment.

But under the federal government system, advanced military equipment, instructors' training, and excellent soldiers are always supplied first to the federal troops.

"I forgot to tell you that our main business in the Slade Galaxy is now mercenary security and arms manufacturing..."

As if he could see what the armed leaders of the colonial galaxies were thinking, Knight Commander Siegel spoke slowly.
