The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 286 285. The Rise of Great Powers and the Dignity of the Common People

"independent?
Breaking with the federal government?!

Just our Montana Galaxy? !"

Alan Hales swallowed hard and looked at Knight Commander Siegel in disbelief.

He knew it wasn't that simple.

The complacency in his heart about "getting the power of the supreme governor of a colonial galaxy for free" disappeared in an instant.

Instead, there is a deep worry about the future.

The Redemption Army, or the Thraide Galaxy behind them, clearly wants the Montana Galaxy to be the first to take action.

Although due to the unpopular operations of the Earth Federal Government, the various colonial galaxy forces generally have a bad impression of the official government.

Various protests and marches are also taking place continuously.

However, no colonial galaxy force has ever dared to openly challenge the federal government, declare independence from the federal government's rule, and establish its own.

This is definitely the bottom line of the Earth Federation Government. The other party will never watch this happen.

The phenomenon of "the one that sticks out gets shot first" is also very common in the Starship Troopers dimension.

Allen was almost certain that the federal government would send troops to suppress the riots by force.

This is almost a done deal.

If the Montana Galaxy dares to do this, the federal government will not say anything.

What if other colonial galaxy forces follow suit and declare independence, breaking away from the federal government's rule?
Without the taxes and resources from local colonial galaxy forces, what will the federal government use to support the tens of billions of federal government citizens with extremely high welfare standards?

How can we maintain that huge fleet of starships and legionnaires?

Alan was quite resistant to this, but unfortunately, he had no right to refuse.

The United Government came from afar and sent troops to help him carry out the coup, and also provided interest-free loans to support up to three hundred biological clone legions.

With so much preparation and effort, it is certainly impossible to do "charity".

Before the United Government officially breaks off relations with the Earth Federation Government, it needs to establish a valuable "target" to attract the firepower of the Federal Government.

There was no way out. Allen, who had been forced into gamble by the Redemption Army, could only continue to gamble with them.

If he dared to refuse, Knight Commander Siegel would not mind cleaning out Allen and his Coles family and replacing them with a more obedient puppet.

Three hundred biological clone corps are not just support given by the federal government to the Montana galaxy.

The United Government Forces, which holds supreme control over these clone armies, can easily overthrow Eren's rule.

The reason why Allen was chosen was because he was a well-known native of the Montana galaxy under the federal government system because of his participation in expeditionary operations.

If he launched the coup, it would be more credible.

This is a matter of life and death for the Thraide galaxy, and the safety of the Montana galaxy has become insignificant in the eyes of the United Government.

Whether it is the many powerful families in the Montana galaxy headed by Allen, or the hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the galaxy.

Their value is far behind that of the citizens of the Coalition Government and even the Aboriginal people.

Alan, who recognized the reality, had no choice but to bite the bullet and hurry up to build fortifications and air defense facilities on the planets in the galaxy in preparation for the war that might break out in the near future.

As for changing allegiance, abandoning the Thraide galaxy, and surrendering to the federal government.

It's not that Allen hadn't thought about it, but the performance of the Redemption Army on the battlefield before this shocked him greatly.

He would rather try his luck with the federal government troops than face the despair of those metal cans that were like bulldozers on the battlefield.

A week later, a public speech titled "Letter to All Compatriots" was broadcast on major media platforms within the Montana galaxy.

His Excellency Allen, the new supreme governor of the Montana Galaxy, strongly denounced the federal government's oppression and exploitation of the Montana Galaxy.

It details the federal government's many crimes.

All the ills in the colonial galaxy that have been criticized by the public are attributed to the federal government.

The harshness of the words and the directness of the criticism are unprecedented in the history of the federal government.

It can almost be said that they are pointing fingers and cursing at the federal government for being controlled by corrupt elements who are content with their positions, and the incompetent interstellar marshals who have colluded with monopoly tycoons to gain power and intensify the exploitation of the forces in the colonial galaxies.

Finally, he even publicly stated that the people of the Montana galaxy would never again accept exploitation by the federal government.

The hardworking and courageous people of the Montana galaxy will stand up to the federal government and will never kneel down in submission.

After the public television speech was broadcast, the people of the Montana galaxy were stunned.

Who would have thought that the newly appointed consul would be so "courageous" as to openly challenge the federation.

Most of the radical young people applauded this crazily.

They had long been fed up with the colonial society that was decadent and rigidly divided into classes.

Governor Allen painted a picture of an unprecedentedly bright future for them.

But there was widespread concern among older colonial citizens.

They have had enough of the pie in the sky painted by the colonial ruling class since childhood.

Compared with the "rise of a great power", they want "happiness of the common people" more.

The indigenous society in the Montana galaxy is caught in endless debate after the division of social values.

However, they did not know that the choice and future direction of the Montana galaxy had nothing to do with them, the ordinary indigenous people.

Far away on Earth, the federal government's home planet, also received these "treasonous" speeches from the Montana galaxy.

Marshal Meru was furious. As soon as he received the information, he canceled all his plans and convened a meeting of a large number of senior military and political officials.

Military deployments against other colonial galaxy forces were quickly suspended.

A large number of federal government troops received transfer orders, and a large army was quickly assembled to prepare to go to the Montana galaxy.

Marshal Meru emphasized that the Montana galaxy, which dared to challenge the federal government, must feel the official wrath.

At the same time, this is also a "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" deterrent action against the forces in various colonial galaxies.

A military operation to "suppress rebellion and suppress rebellion" began under the attention of all the people of the Earth Federation.

The various colonial galaxy forces are also extremely concerned about this.

If possible, no one wants to be "bled dry" by the federal government again.

High taxes, plunder of resources, and the "arms ban" that was lifted and then restored as a joke.

The various colonial galaxies had long been filled with deep dissatisfaction, but no one had the courage of the Montana galaxy to be the first to step forward.

At the same time, as they belong to the same community of interests, they are very sympathetic to the Montana galaxy.

After a lot of tug-of-war, they could only verbally condemn the federal government's military operations against local colonial galaxies, saying they were too aggressive in bullying the weak.

The Thraide galaxy under the control of the federal government was also not idle.

Sam Collins has used the influence brought by the arms trade in recent years to win over a large number of colonial galaxy forces, and has used verbal means to accuse the federal government of using force against the galaxies under its jurisdiction.

Although they dare not engage in military confrontation, the colonial galaxies feel they have an obligation to criticize and accuse each other verbally.

No one would laugh at the Montana Galaxy's heroic struggle, or at Alan Coles's overestimation of his own capabilities.

Because they know that whether the Montana galaxy wins or loses, it is fighting for the interests of the local colonial galaxy forces.

The indignant colonial galaxies, relying on their huge size and number, set off a storm of public opinion that almost swept across the entire territory of the federal government.

The federal government's persecution of local colonial galaxies is being seriously discussed even in the core areas of the federal government.

Many federal government citizens who were brainwashed by "anti-war speeches" even spontaneously marched and demonstrated in an attempt to prevent the civil war from happening.

Marshal Meru had to repeatedly assure the federal government parliament and the voters.

The federal government's military operations against the Montana galaxy will be extremely restrained and limited to a small area.

The federal government will not be the first to use weapons of mass destruction.

A destructive strategic weapon like the "Planet Destroyer" would never be used on our compatriots.

The "counter-insect and rebellion" operation is fundamentally different from the "human-insect war". The military actions of the federal government army will be extremely decisive and "clean", and will never use any inhumane weapons that violate the federal military constitution.

After a series of buffs, Marshal Meru finally managed to stabilize the sharp drop in his support rate caused by "starting a civil war".

Millions of expeditionary troops, under the repeated urging of Marshal Meru, were assembled in just ten days and arrived at the outskirts of the Montana galaxy.

In order to avoid being branded as "massacre of compatriots" and "executioner of the federal government", Marshal Meru even took the initiative to invite all major media outlets under the federation to report on this "counter-insurgency" military operation in full.

The various colonial galaxy forces also sent out their own military observation teams.

For a time, the Montana galaxy attracted almost all the attention of the federal government.

The Montana system has all but given up on military confrontation outside the atmosphere.

This was also expected by everyone.

After all, the federal government’s starship forces have hundreds or even thousands of warships and spaceships.

The advantage over local colonial galaxy forces is simply too great.

Even within the Montana galaxy, except for the resistance on the administrative planet, the resistance on each planet was very "perfunctory".

Faced with the impact of the elite federal forces, the troops composed of armed forces from various families in the galaxy resisted for a short time before wisely surrendering.

The first real battle of this "suppression of rebellion" military operation took place on the surface of the Administrative Star.

The entire administrative planet is the real focus of the Montana galaxy's defense.

More than 300 biological clone legions are deployed in various strategic locations and fortification bunkers.

The success of previous attacks on other planets caused the federal government's military headquarters, which was responsible for directing combat operations, to misjudge the combat effectiveness of the administrative planet's resistance forces.

The elite federal troops who had just landed on the surface of the administrative planet were soon attacked by a corps of biochemical clones protected by permanent fortifications.

The fearless biochemical clones don't have any morale issues at all.

Even if they run out of ammunition, they will use their bodies and even their teeth to nail themselves to the battlefield.

The full set of weapons, equipment and protective gear produced by Slade Industries has long been tested in the "Human-Insect War".

Facing the federal government troops that have not yet been fully equipped and upgraded, the advantage is obvious.

Considering that the opponents are "compatriots" and "citizens under the rule of the federal government", Marshal Meru made a bold statement before the war: he would never use any inhumane weapons or weapons of mass destruction.

Soon the federal government troops suffered a great deal.

The federal government's military command's idea of ​​a quick victory was finally shattered after the federal government's troops were completely wiped out in two encounters.

They had to start using multiple corps to divide and encircle the enemy and prepare for a protracted war.

The use of high-powered starship plasma pulse main guns is not allowed, and various biological, chemical and high-temperature killing weapons that violate the spirit of humanitarianism are also ordered to be banned.

The area surrounding the battlefield was filled with media organizations waiting to see the federal government make mistakes, as well as military observation groups from various colonial galaxy forces ready to find fault.

The federal government's military command could only arrange a large number of air force units to carry out carpet bombing, followed by the main force of the federal government launching a charge to seize positions.

The elite troops of the federal government army equipped with jet packs did not dare to leave the ground at all.

Those enemies with incredibly accurate shooting skills can always snipe them to death the first moment they jump into the air.

The countless individual heavy firepower weapons on the fortifications also made the federal government's idea of ​​relying on heavy equipment to advance come to nothing.

The two armies in the interstellar era of the 24th century were forced to fight using the warfare methods of the 20th century due to various restrictions.

Even so, the federal government's advantage is still quite obvious.

Looking at the overwhelming advantages of troop numbers, air support, and so on, the fortifications held by the Montana galaxy defenders were continuously eliminated one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one.

The front line was slowly advancing, the only problem was that the casualties were gradually getting out of control.

After discovering that the Montana galaxy's garrison troops were almost all biological clone warriors, the federal government's military command became furious.

The cost of recruiting, training, weapons and equipment, and casualty compensation for a federal soldier is an astronomical figure.

And now, the enemy that these brave citizen warriors desperately killed on the battlefield was just a human weapon that could be called cannon fodder.

As the attacking party, it often takes the lives of two or even more citizen soldiers to kill one biochemical clone soldier.

The faster this horrific exchange ratio progresses, the greater the losses for the federal government.

After the third day of the war, both news media organizations and military observation teams from various colonial galaxy forces observed this strange phenomenon.

The Thraide Galaxy turned out to be the biggest winner in this "civil war".

Orders for biochemical clone corps from various colonial galaxy forces are drifting towards the Thraide galaxy like snowflakes.

Just as Marshal Meru was severely questioning the Thraide Galaxy about the source of the Montana Galaxy's military forces.

Gust received a transfer order from the federal government and went to the core area of ​​the Earth Federal Government, the Mars Colony.

Getting ready to make some big noise here.
