The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 289 288. The Third Battlefield
The battle started instantly.

The soldiers of the federal government's mobile infantry regiment, fully equipped with new equipment, began to pour firepower on the opposing mechanical army.

However, whether it is the individual laser weapons they carry or those heavy chemical gunpowder firearms.

They were unable to do anything to the Transformers made of Cybertron's composite metal.

In the Thraide galaxy, the defense of the Collins family and Sam was originally the responsibility of the Gust team.

As Gust was sent to the core area of ​​the federal government to carry out "infiltration work".

The defense of the Collins family in the Thraide galaxy was handed over to the Transformers Special Operations Force.

For the Autobot team led by Optimus Prime, this was just an ordinary, routine mission issued by the United Government.

But the Decepticons, especially their leader Megatron, were eager for a hearty battle.

In order to avoid exposing its existence prematurely, the United Government has not yet considered deploying Transformers troops in front of the Aboriginal federal government in its attack plan on the Starship Troopers plane.

Megatron likes to be compared with Optimus Prime in everything and is always thinking about overshadowing Optimus Prime, so of course he will not miss this opportunity to show his face.

Shortly after receiving the warning to prevent invasion by hostile forces, all the Decepticon warriors on the Administrative Planet assembled under the roar of Megatron.

After transforming into different forms, the Decepticon warriors used various Cybertronian armament technologies that the Federation Mobile Infantry Regiment had never seen before, and opened fire at full power.

The Decepticon warriors are generally as tall as four or five or six stories high, and the caliber of the firearms they are equipped with is as exaggerated as 20 to 30 millimeters.

According to the general judgment standard of caliber and kinetic energy of chemical gunpowder weapons, this has completely deviated from the standard of "firearms" and should be classified as "artillery".

Any random chemical gunpowder kinetic energy shell exploding in a crowd can easily knock over dozens of people.

Accompanied by the stimulation of various blue and red laser beams, the elite soldiers of the Federal Government's Mobile Infantry Regiment felt an experience that was completely different from that on the Zerg battlefield.

Within just three or four minutes after the battle, several federal government mobile infantry regiments had to move to the surrounding complex urban alley areas due to heavy losses.

A large number of seriously injured soldiers were abandoned helplessly, and the Decepticons had no intention of treating the prisoners well.

After Megatron transformed again, the incarnation's main battle tank roared and rolled over the seriously injured soldiers without any hesitation.

The Decepticon warriors in the rear also followed suit.

On the other side, the Autobot troops led by Optimus Prime could only fight in coordination after the Decepticons launched an attack.

Compared to the general warmongers, the Decepticons are willing to slaughter the enemies on the battlefield.

The Autobots' fighting is undoubtedly much "cleaner".

Under the instruction of Optimus Prime, the Autobots captured a considerable number of Federation Mobile Infantry Regiment soldiers.

Those who can be dispatched are elite troops within the federal government’s army, and their mental and willpower are quite strong.

After failing to obtain any valuable information, Optimus Prime decided not to continue asking.

Direct orders were given to hand over the prisoners to the intelligence services of the coalition government.

The powerful effect of the 'Great Memory Restoration Technique' enables the coalition government to easily obtain the information they want.

However, the price is that the soldiers of the Mobile Infantry Regiment who are forced to "restore their memories" will become a group of unconscious walking corpses.

Optimus Prime is not as impatient as Megatron.

He led the Autobot warriors and drove the panicked Mobile Infantry Regiment soldiers to the designated location.

The troops from other defense zones in the administrative region were then notified to take over.

Swarms of drones were flying all over the sky, following the ground and watching the members of the federal government's mobile infantry regiment.

After the order to "capture as many as possible alive" was issued, their core instructions changed from "destroy the invading enemy" to "surveillance and monitoring."

The soldiers of the Mobile Infantry Regiment who were frantically moving their positions even noticed that the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.

The regular vibrations, like earthquakes, came from a remote military base outside the city.

One after another, "Leviathan" class dreadnought mechas that were hundreds of meters tall and weighed tens of thousands of tons appeared in their field of vision.

These war machines, which are almost level with the clouds in the sky, are absolute bloody killing machines on the battlefield.

The mobile infantry soldiers present had never witnessed the performance of the "Leviathan" dreadnought mecha on the battlefield.

But this does not prevent them from judging the enemy's terrifying combat power by observing the numerous thick gun barrels and various ordnance weapons on these fearless mechas that exude the scent of male hormones all the time.

"Quick! Get out into the city streets!"

The terrifying size of the "Leviathan" class dreadnought, as well as the Decepticons and Autobots chasing after them, constantly put tremendous psychological pressure on the soldiers of the Mobile Infantry Regiment.

Before carrying out the decapitation mission against the Collins family, they had to make sure they survived.

Tens of thousands of mobile infantry soldiers madly rushed towards the administrative star city area not far away.

It was not until they arrived at a continuous industrial plant building area that countless soldiers of the Mobile Infantry Regiment were surprised to find that the pursuers behind them had stopped.

"Decepticons, stop chasing!"

Megatron watched the last Mobile Infantry Regiment soldier crawling out of his defense zone and had to stop the attack of his Decepticons.

As mercenary units of the federal government, they have a high degree of autonomy in battlefield operations.

Megatron has always been arrogant and disdainful. Even when facing Optimus Prime, whose strength is far superior to his, he will not admit defeat.

But this does not mean that it will disobey the military orders clearly stated by the coalition government.

[This is an important storage area for military products from Slide Industry. Fireworks are strictly prohibited! ]

On the other side, the remnants of several mobile infantry corps were still thinking about how to continue to complete their mission.

As they pried open one large factory building after another, they prepared to sneak in to avoid pursuit by the Thraide Galaxy troops.

Suddenly, bright red lights lit up in the darkness, like fireflies evenly distributed across the fields.

When the soldiers turned on the factory lights, they were shocked to find these spacious buildings covering tens of thousands of square meters.

There are actually rows of biochemical clone soldiers ready to go.

The leaders of several mobile infantry regiments instantly had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

The scarlet eyes of these clone soldiers seemed to indicate that something bad was going to happen next.

The next moment, the clone army received the order and began to clear all enemies within sight.

The sound of gunfire did not last long.

After just a few minutes, there were no more gunshots in the warehouse storage area.

Only the expressionless biochemical clone soldiers were left, coldly finishing off the Mobile Infantry Regiment soldiers on the scene one by one.

After learning what happened, Sam Collins was shocked and called Marshal Meru a "son of a bitch". He did not expect that the official government of the Earth Federation would use such a lowly and despicable assassination and beheading method.

Although he was unharmed under the protection of the coalition government, he was still frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

The intelligence department of the United Government successfully obtained evidence that the federal government dispatched elite troops, posing as interstellar pirates, to launch a military operation against the Thraide galaxy through the "Great Memory Recovery Technique" on the prisoners.

Not long after, Sam Collins, with a grim face and extremely angry, made another public speech.

Claiming that the Earth Federation Government shamelessly launched a decapitation assassination campaign against local colonial galaxies.

Fortunately, some soldiers of the Federal Government Army's Mobile Infantry Regiment repented and realized that what they had done was extremely wrong.

Therefore, it surrendered sincerely to the Thraide Galaxy and explained to the Thraide Galaxy in detail the series of conspiracies of the federal government.

The statements made by large sections of soldiers from the elite numbered corps of the Mobile Infantry Regiment and officers in front of the camera provided irrefutable evidence of the federal government's despicable behavior.

Although the expressions of these soldiers and officers were a little dull when they made their statements, this did not prevent the news from detonating the entire Earth Federation.

Political assassination is the most despicable act.

Marshal Meru immediately stated that all this had nothing to do with the federal government under her leadership.

The so-called "Federal Government Army Mobile Infantry Regiment Soldiers" were exposed.

Most of them are the “missing persons” on the Zerg battlefield.

A considerable number of them have long since withdrawn from the federal government's military and become interstellar pirates or interstellar bounty hunters.

Marshal Meru even claimed that she had reason to suspect that this was a "self-directed and self-acted" act by the Thraide Galaxy, trying to use the "torture tactic" to win the sympathy of the people.

The Slade Galaxy and the federal government continued to refute the evidence given by the other side in various ways, and then provided more evidence to prove themselves.

The authenticity of the evidence has become less important as the public opinion battle between the two sides becomes increasingly fierce.

Ordinary people simply cannot tell who is lying.

You can only make judgments based on your own interests.

The member galaxies of the [Anti-Armament Ban United Front Alliance], as well as the people in the core areas of the federal government under the rule of the federal government who were attracted by Sam Collins' remarks and believed that they should also enjoy the same civil rights.

All tend to support the Slade Galaxy.

The various monopoly military and industrial tycoons, many large companies and families that have close ties with the federal government, as well as some local colonial galaxies under their control and influence, stand firmly behind Marshal Meru.

Two distinct camps of public opinion began to emerge within the Earth Federation.

Marshal Meru announced that due to quality issues, Slade Industries' products were legally prohibited from being sold within the federal government's jurisdiction.

The Slade Galaxy immediately responded by stating that all unsold Slade Industrial products would be transported to the Montana Galaxy to support the "Allen Resistance" fighting for freedom.

Such a ruthless and tit-for-tat confrontation.

This is unprecedented among local colonial galaxy forces.

Marshal Meru was so angry that he wanted to declare the Thraide Galaxy as a rebel force on the spot and prepare to conquer them completely with force.

But senior military and political representatives of the federal government unanimously persuaded her to come down.

The current "anti-rebellion" military operation against the Montana galaxy, with the support of the Thraide galaxy, has reached a stalemate.

The vast majority of local colonial galaxy forces are waiting to see the joke.

In the core area of ​​the Earth Federation, in addition to the Martian colony, other planets are also at risk of being attacked by the Zerg's "death struggle".

The federal government had to station a large number of troops just in case.

In this situation, if a "third battlefield" is opened up, even if the federal government's army is strong, it will be unable to cope with it.

The most important point is that the leaders and senior officers of the United Government Army are not completely sure of victory when facing the Slade Galaxy.

You know, the Redemption Army of the Thraide Galaxy is an absolutely elite force that has been tested in the Zerg War.

The Montana Galaxy Resistance Force, armed by Slade Industries, can also fight back and forth with the main forces of the United Government.

Going to war with such a militarily powerful local colony system is indeed an extremely dangerous decision.

The federal government was only one military defeat away from collapse.

This is even the mainstream view in the core areas of the federal government.

The deterrent significance of the federal government’s military force is far greater than its actual war significance.

'Let those local colonial galaxy forces fear the federal government.'

This is the greatest significance of the existence of the federal government army.

Now, most of the local colonial galaxy forces are watching with eager eyes.

The Thraide Galaxy can fail, even multiple times.

But the federal government cannot do that. If it takes a step back, it will fall into an abyss.

After this, apart from the daily routine "verbal attacks" of public opinion, the federal government no longer paid attention to the provocations of the Slade galaxy.

Instead, they began to announce sanctions against all local colonial galaxies that had trade and military cooperation with the Thraide galaxy.

First came verbal warnings, then economic sanctions, and finally even armed oppression and military intimidation.

All means are used to completely isolate the Slade galaxy.

It has to be said that this method is quite effective.

Not all local colonial galaxy forces have the confidence to challenge the federal government.

It's fine for them to unite and wave flags, but it's extremely difficult to let them fight the coalition government forces on the battlefield with real guns and real ammunition.

When local colonial galaxy forces faced targeted verbal warnings from the federal government, they began to retreat.

As the stick of economic sanctions was wielded, some member galaxies that had originally joined the [Anti-Armament Ban United Front Alliance] began to want to withdraw.

Some of the local colonial galaxies that were chosen by the federal government as "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys" and subjected to military threats were intimidated into shrinking on the spot.

The most difficult problem currently facing the Thraide galaxy is how to convince colonial galaxy forces in other places that it can protect them.

The coalition government knows that if it delays and hesitates any further, the situation will only get worse.

'The federal government must be dragged into the quagmire of war!

Open up a third battlefield besides the Mars colony and the Montana galaxy as soon as possible!'
