The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 277 276. Camp
Within the core jurisdiction of the Earth Federal Government.

The discussion on "the impact of the development of human cloning on natural human society" is in full swing throughout the solar system and several surrounding galaxies.

News, variety shows, online shows, radio channels, street debates...

Under the deliberate guidance of the federal government, more and more people are beginning to realize the "harms" of the development of human cloning.

When this society is filled with biochemical clones that are no different from ordinary people, the living space of ordinary people will be infinitely compressed.

This is the conclusion of the federal government, and in fact this view is not wrong.

If the Earth Federation Government’s cloning technology is sufficient to create biochemical clones that are indistinguishable from ordinary people.

The federal government's top rulers are definitely capable of using clones to replace more than 90% of the ordinary people in society.

After all, the government does not need to bear high welfare expenses for biochemical clones.

Clone troopers can also be the cheapest cannon fodder.

But unfortunately, the core technology of biochemical cloning is in the hands of the colonial galaxy forces.

Marshal Meru had considered using the name of the federal government to forcefully "acquire" the cloning technology possessed by the Collins family.

But the performance of the Redemption Army proved that the Collins family had a powerful force in the Thraide galaxy.

What if the Collins family launches an armed rebellion?
What if the federal government sent to “suppress the insurgency” was defeated?
What if colonized galaxies in other places follow suit and begin armed resistance against the federal government?
Marshal Meru had to consider the consequences of failure. After lifting the arming ban on hundreds of colonial galaxies, how to better handle the relationship between the federal government and local colonial galaxies became the top priority of the federal government.

The current focus of citizens under the rule of the Federal Government is the war between the expeditionary force and the Arachne Zerg.

In the eyes of federal citizens, those remote colonial galaxies are just a bunch of uninformed country bumpkins. No matter how many there are, they are just dispensable consumables in the federal government system.

Marshal Meru, who has just taken office, wants to consolidate his position. He must achieve results on the Zerg battlefield that are sufficient to satisfy the voters.

Will there be friction or even war between the federal government and local colonial galaxies?

There is no doubt that this is a huge deduction in the eyes of the federal citizen group.

Under such circumstances, Marshal Meru had to consider a gentler way to deal with the threat posed by cloning technology.

The large-scale application of this technology is prohibited in the form of legal provisions.

Marshal Meru is already familiar with this method.

When the constitution was amended and the arming ban on the colonial galaxies was lifted, a large amount of military spending was successfully cut, the contradictions between the local and central governments were eased, and their position was consolidated.

Now she also wants to pass the "Cloning Technology Act" to restrict the Slade Galaxy without spending any soldiers.

The rapid development of 'Slade Industries' in the arms trade market indicates that in the near future, the Collins family will occupy a considerable share of the federal arms trade market.

This naturally aroused the vigilance of the military-industrial monopoly chaebols.

In particular, the main product of "Silide Industry" is the unique "biochemical cloning technology" in the Federation.

This makes it impossible for the monopoly military-industrial tycoons to strike back through regular commercial competition.

Slade Industries, which "incurred public anger", was immediately attacked by the joint forces of the military-industrial monopoly and the interstellar marshal.

The "cloning technology", which already had a bad reputation in the federal government society, was suddenly portrayed as a demon that everyone wanted to kill.

With the collaboration of multiple parties, laws and regulations on human cloning technology were successfully passed.

In the core control areas of the federal government, the research, development, sale and purchase of clones in the military field are completely prohibited.

The federal government has also completely banned the use of energy currency for bio-cloning transactions.

All of this was implemented well within the core control areas of the federal government.

The cloning-related business, which was not very prosperous to begin with, immediately disappeared.

But when the monopoly military-industrial tycoons and Marshal Meru turned their attention to areas outside the core area of ​​the Federation, they discovered the intractability of the problem.

Those local colonial galaxy forces did not take this so-called "Cloning Act" seriously at all.

Because this touches upon the fundamental interests of local colonial galaxy forces: security issues.

After the military ban was lifted, hundreds of local colonial galaxy forces that were in urgent need of self-security provided a huge military industry market.

The monopoly capitalists hold orders from the federal government's military and are extremely arrogant about the scattered orders for armed forces in local colonial galaxies.

Their arrogance and prejudice angered the local colonial galaxies. If they had no choice, the local colonial galaxy forces would most likely have to swallow their anger.

But "Silide Industry" emerged, and its products were known for their high quality and low price.

Most importantly, the emergence of the "Biochemical Clone Army" perfectly solved the pain points of various colonial galaxy forces.

There is no need to spend time and energy to train armed personnel from scratch.

One-time payment, lifelong benefits.

'Slade Industries' can customize an army for local colonial galaxy forces.

A military force that can rival the main force of the federal government without any training or complex resource preparation.

How could the local colonial galaxy forces leave such a good thing unused and turn around to curry favor with those monopoly military-industrial tycoons?

After the federal government informed the colonial galaxies of the implementation of the "Clone Act", the colonial galaxies responded one after another that they knew about it.

However, the scale of their respective military procurement continues to rise at an abnormal pace.

Among them, the "Biochemical Clone Corps" played a crucial role.

However, whenever observers sent by the federal government pointed out that the presence of clone soldiers in the armed forces of local colonial galaxy forces violated the laws and regulations of the federal government.

The forces in various colonial galaxies have stated that there are no clones in the armed forces of their own galaxies.

It's just that the people under his rule look somewhat similar.

This excuse might be vague if used in other places, but when you see the armed leaders of the colonial galaxies pointing at tens of thousands of tall, short, fat and thin guys who are completely "copy and paste", and stubbornly saying that they are all natural people.

Federal government observers felt that their intelligence was being insulted.

But this is the fact, and the observers can only stare blankly.

When the ban on arming local colonial forces has not yet been lifted, the federal government's laws and regulations have limited constraints on colonial galaxies.

The federal government used the autonomy of the colonized galaxies in exchange for the support of the colonized galaxies for the central government. This has been the case for hundreds of years, not to mention after the lifting of the ban on armed forces.

The federal government's right to interfere with local colonial galaxies has also been infinitely reduced.

As long as the colonial galaxy forces do not openly and blatantly announce that their armies are composed entirely of clone soldiers.

The federal government can do nothing about them.

Unless a large army is really sent to use force to deter.

The idea of ​​the monopoly military and industrial tycoons to force the colonial galaxies to give up purchasing Slade Industrial products by restricting energy currency transactions has long been shattered.

Because since the beginning, the Thraide Galaxy has encouraged the "barter" trading method.

What's even more outrageous is that in the face of the "Cloning Act" promulgated by the federal government, Slade Industries under the control of the United Government chose the more radical "Biochemical Clone Army Promotion Operation."

Not only was the original "customized service" decentralized from the scale of a troop of 10,000 people to the scale of a troop of 1,000 people.

We also launched a variety of promotional activities with discounts for large quantities.

All related companies and forces providing military security protection within the Federation were stunned.

Because what Slide Industrial did was simply ruining the business.

Clone security protection quickly captured the market at a price much lower than that of natural person security services.

Even the wealthy, celebrities, and military and political officials in the colonial galaxies who have some spare money can use a relatively cheap amount of money to hire a large clone security team.

The clone security team service, which was personally planned by the Gust team, is absolutely satisfactory in terms of professionalism and service quality.

After all, a security team formed by natural persons must not only have strength comparable to the main forces of the federal government, but also be willing to risk their lives to protect their employers. Not many people in the colonial galaxy can afford this price.

Slade Industries and the forces in the colonial galaxies, both buyers and sellers, don't care about the federal government's "Human Cloning Act" at all.

On the contrary, when the federal government was planning the "Clone Act", the security services and arms market within the Federation had already been occupied by Slade Industries, which was fully committed to producing clone corps.

The products of Slade Industries have gradually replaced the federal monopoly military-industrial complex and become the first choice of various colonial galaxy forces.

The more Slade Industrial products the colonial galaxy forces purchase, the more security and military services within the galaxy will be covered by Slade Industrial's military products.

The various colonial galaxy forces are already deeply bound to Slade Industries.

On the contrary, the various forces within the core ruling area of ​​the United Government are unable to purchase military and security services related to biochemical cloning due to the "Human Cloning Act".

Marshal Meru was extremely angry at the local colonial galaxy forces' united efforts to ignore federal laws, but he had many concerns and could not take any action.

Considering that the expeditionary military operation against the Arach Zerg is entering a critical stage.

Marshal Meru had to persuade the monopoly military-industrial chaebol behind him to put the issue aside temporarily.

After all, the Zerg are the Earth Federation Government’s current biggest enemy.

Marshal Meru is still counting on the colonized galaxies to work for him.

For professional politicians, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

In order to deal with the powerful enemy, the Zerg, Marshal Meru does not mind temporarily using the colonial galaxy forces, whose military armed forces have been greatly strengthened, as a help.

In this way, the "Clone Act" became a mere formality within the sphere of influence of various colonial galaxies.

The federal government did not use the means to maintain the legal dignity of the federal government as people imagined.

Instead, they acted as if nothing had happened and pretended not to notice the blatant illegal activities taking place within the various colonial galaxy forces.

In addition, Marshal Meru also publicly issued a declaration, claiming that he would further increase the scope and intensity of the attack on the Arachi Zerg.

Fully mobilize all available forces within the federal government.

It was as if the anger over the failure of the "Clone Act" was transferred to the Zerg.

Among the expeditionary forces, the original practice of arranging them to war zones with lower battlefield intensity due to distrust of the combat effectiveness of the armed forces of the colonial galaxies was also broken.

More and more armed forces from colonial galaxies began to be dispatched to engage in bloody sieges and participate in the competition for strategic areas.

On the contrary, the Redemption Army from the Thraide Galaxy was not obviously targeted.

The "Battle of Whiskey Post" was promoted as a turning point in the war between the Human Earth Federation and the Arachne Zerg.

The Redemption Army is undoubtedly the greatest contributor.

It is also the greatest medal of honor for Meru Interstellar Marshal since he took office.

If the Redemption Army is wiped out by the Zerg, the citizens of the Federation will inevitably question whether the expeditionary operations of the new interstellar marshal are as smooth as she advertised.

At least before determining victory in the "Human-Insect War", Marshal Meru must ensure that the Redemption Army is intact.

And so, a year after the "Cranduff Rout", the federal government officially expanded the war.

In the Clandaf galaxy, the planets colonized by the Arachi Zerg began to be cleared one by one under the guidance of the "leapfrog tactics" deployed by the Psychic Strategic Forces.

Even Marshal Meru, who had some complaints about Slade Industries, had to admit it.

It was the emergence of Slade Industries that greatly enhanced the military capabilities of the colonial galaxy armed forces and made them an important force in expeditionary military operations.

The federal military-industrial monopoly tycoons were forced to do this, which also led to a significant improvement in the individual combat capabilities of the United Government Army's mobile infantry.

As Zerg colonies were cleared one after another, with good news coming from the front lines and public support rising, the differences between the federal government and the colonized galaxies were infinitely suppressed.

Star Marshal Meru seems to be all she’s cracked up to be.

'Gather all the forces that can be united under the Federation, with the ultimate goal of completely eradicating the Arachne Zerg!'

During the three years of implementing the "leapfrog tactics", the federal government successfully downplayed the Redemption Army's achievements and status in the eyes of federal citizens by marginalizing the Redemption Army and constantly strengthening the propaganda of other victories after the "Battle of Whiskey Post".

But on the other hand, the United Government has effectively expanded the influence of the Thraide Galaxy within the Earth Federation system through its increasingly large-scale clone security services and military-industrial trade.

The Slade Galaxy has gradually become the local colonial galaxy force with the strongest military strength in the Earth Federation system, except for the federal government army.

As the war between human civilization and the Arachi Zerg entered its fourth year, Marshal Meru and the top leaders of the Psychic Strategic Force, which served as a think tank, unanimously reached a conclusion.

It's time to launch a major campaign to put an end to the Arachne zerg.
