The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 305 304. War without bloodshed can't solve any problem

The situation deteriorated even faster than Marshal Meru had expected.

She is currently at the lunar military base, deploying the core resistance line, trying to rely on existing troops and defense facilities to resist the invading Thraide army.

The troops that held out to the Leipzig interstellar defense line returned to defend.

But her trusted spies on the Earth told her that the various chaebols, families, and groups that had recently vowed to her that they would live and die with the federal government and were ready to resist to the last man.

Now, he actually treated the chief of intelligence and spy from the Thraide galaxy as a guest of honor.

What's even more outrageous is that this guy named Gust is most likely the mastermind behind the previous biological terrorist attack in the core area.

Furious, Marshal Meru immediately ordered the home planet's garrison to arrest many federal dignitaries and celebrities who were holding a secret meeting.

The most important thing is to bring that Gust to justice, regardless of whether he is dead or alive.

Soon, news came from the garrison on the mother planet Earth that a fierce armed conflict had broken out between official troops and the demonstrators.

Hundreds of people were killed or injured, including a suspect named Gust, who was killed in the explosion, leaving only a charred and unrecognizable body.

The response from the garrison leader made Marshal Meru breathe a sigh of relief.

But then, the spies planted by his confidants in the Earth's garrison brought news that made Marshal Meru feel uneasy.

There was no armed conflict at all around the Kane family's manor villa, and the garrison had no action plan in that area at all that day.

Even the head of the garrison later showed up at the party at the manor villa.

The spy risked his life and took a picture of the garrison chief having a close conversation with Gust.

It was at this time that Marshal Meru realized that his subordinates, or the entire Earth Federation government, had long been infiltrated by various chaebols, families, and groups.

Since the establishment of the Earth Federation Government, those prestigious private forces have a history of hundreds or even thousands of years.

Over a long period of time, in addition to making huge wealth, it inevitably monopolized all industries within the federal government.

After their economic status improved, these monopoly tycoons, families and groups also began to seek political status.

Marshal Meru didn't know how many interstellar marshals in the history of the federal government had been able to remain immune.

But she herself knew clearly that without the strong support of the monopoly military-industrial chaebol alliance, she would never be able to ascend to the position of interstellar marshal.

The mutual exchange of economic and political resources has enabled these monopoly forces to interfere in the federal government to an increasingly greater extent and exert greater influence.

Among the nearly 95 so-called elected members of the National Assembly on our home planet Earth alone, at least % are representatives of the interests of various monopoly forces.

This kind of legal and compliant "political donation" is relatively open.

Those areas that cannot be made public, such as government departments, energy, electricity and other infrastructure agencies, and even the military, are full of "insiders" cultivated by monopoly forces.

Marshal Meru even realized with panic that in his lunar military base, there might be many soldiers, officers, and clerks working for the monopoly forces who were secretly monitoring him.

If the monopoly military-industrial conglomerate alliance was not still supporting him, he, the interstellar marshal, would have been used as an important bargaining chip and offered to those damn rebels.

At this point, Marshal Meru no longer knows who he can trust.

There is no point in continuing to deploy any core area defense plan.

God knows whether those officers and soldiers who have been bribed by the monopoly forces will have any chance to continue fighting in front of the Slade army.

After Marshal Meru hurriedly issued the last two important instructions, he secretly evacuated outside the core area on an inconspicuous logistics supply transport ship under the cover of his trusted men.

The first order was to order the United Government forces on the Leipzig interstellar defense line to retreat immediately, guard the core area, and fight against the invading Slade army.

At this time, the supreme commander of the Earth Federal Government on the Leipzig Interstellar Defense Line was the supreme commander of the previous starship force.

The blame for the defeat in the "Energy Twelve Star Systems" battle was originally going to be borne by the supreme commander of the starship force.

But in the entire federal government army, he is the only one who has the experience to command large troops and conduct joint operations of multiple services, and is qualified enough to suppress the front-line troops and the armed forces of various chaebols and family forces. He is the supreme commander of the starship force.

Therefore, the Earth Federation Government had to postpone holding him accountable and continued to appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the Leipzig Interstellar Defense Line.

After Marshal Meru's order was conveyed, the supreme commander of the star fleet did not follow it immediately.

This is not to say that he was also instigated by the Human United Government, but that he was considering the tens of millions of federal troops on the Leipzig interstellar defense line.

"Has our interstellar marshal gone mad?

Doesn't she know that there are more than ten times as many enemies on the other side, staring at us hungrily?
Abandon the existing air defense system, permanently consolidate the fortification cluster, and choose to retreat?

How is this different from suicide?
Will the enemy just watch us successfully evacuate the troops on the ground defense line?
Even if they successfully evacuated and returned to the core area, they would still face attacks from both the Slade army and the Leipzig enemy.

Here at the Leipzig Star Line, we were able to barely maintain a stalemate with the enemy thanks to a cluster of permanent fortifications and dense ground-based air defense facilities.

Why does the Star Marshal think that we can still win the battle against more numerous enemies after giving up these advantages? "

The supreme commander of the star fleet is concerned with the battlefield and military issues.

Obviously, he could not accept Marshal Meru's attempt to save himself at all costs.

During the battle of the "Twelve Energy Star Systems", the supreme commander of the star fleet had already issued an order for the entire army to retreat.

On that occasion, tens of millions of ground troops loyal to the Earth Federation Government and still resisting were so ruthlessly abandoned.

Now, a similar scene occurs again.

If Marshal Meru's orders were followed, the tens of millions of Allied troops on the Leipzig interstellar defense line would inevitably be abandoned.

"This is the last spark of the Earth Federation Government Army. We can't let it be destroyed so easily just because of a word from this guy Meru.

I refuse to follow her orders!"

This time, the supreme commander of the star fleet chose to disobey orders.

"Sir, do we need to contact the other side? If necessary, we can end this war gracefully?"

The subordinates around him thought that their supreme commander was preparing to surrender to the [Human United Government], so they asked tentatively.

"You mean, surrender?"

Looking at their subordinates, the senior commanding officers of the federal government army have begun to no longer shy away from discussing the topic of surrender.

The Supreme Commander of Starfleet Force sighed.

He is a pure soldier and does not want to get involved in the political conflicts between the federal government and local colonial galaxies.

Now all he could do was to preserve the last sparks of military power on the Leipzig interstellar defense line for the federal government and stand guard for the federal government.

So he ordered the troops to remain as they were and wait for the conflict in the core area to settle before making a decision.

In addition to ordering the frontline troops to return to support, Marshal Meru's second order was to order the core strategic forces of the Federation to launch a Q-bomb attack on the Earth Mother Planet after the Thraide Army entered the surface defense line of the Earth Mother Planet. This order was extremely crazy, because the Earth Mother Planet was not only the political capital of the Earth Federal Government.

It is also the spiritual totem of all federal citizens, including hundreds of local colonial galaxy forces.

As early as when Meru used the "Q-bomb" for the first time after taking office as Marshal of the Stars, in order to avoid possible obstacles, she had already replaced the person in charge of the core strategic force responsible for the "Q-bomb" attack with her own people in advance.

So when the Slade army announced that it would send ground troops within the next 24 hours to officially land on the mother planet Earth and take over the defense of the Earth.

The highest leader of the Federation's core strategic forces immediately issued an order to prepare for a Q-bomb strike.

"Sir, that's the mother planet Earth!"

"What about our home planet Earth?

Don’t forget that it was Marshal Meru who promoted us to where we are today…”

The core strategic force is headed by a die-hard follower of Marshal Meru.

In order to ensure his control over the core strategic forces, Meru promoted a large number of middle-level officers who had no chaebol, family, or corporate background through a series of political means.

Many people regard Meru as their mentor and are more loyal to her than to the federal government.

But the base's deputy commander had a different opinion.

As a middle-level officer with no background who was also promoted by Meru, the deputy commander-in-chief of the base also obeyed Meru's orders.

Whether it was the initial Q-bomb attack on the Zerg planet of Arachi, or the destruction of the planets on the Leipzig interstellar defense line.

Even the deputy commander-in-chief hadn't hesitated, but this time the situation was different.

Because his son is studying at the Federal Paratrooper Academy on Earth.

He tried to persuade the base chief to give up attacking the Earth three times in a row, but was rejected each time.

Seeing that the troops loyal to the general leader and Marshal Meru Interstellar have appeared in the base with live ammunition, ready to carry out Marshal Meru Interstellar's orders at any time.

The deputy commander closed his eyes in pain.

However, at this moment, some unexpected sounds rang in my ears.

“Your Excellency Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the Esek Consortium sends its regards to you.

I have two teams of elite soldiers equipped with mobile armor, waiting for your orders at any time! "

"Sir, we from the Barbos family have taken control of the mobile vehicle workshop.

Three all-terrain armored vehicles have been launched and are ready for your dispatch! "

"Sir, as long as you give the order, we will support you as the commander-in-chief of the base!"

Marshal Meru can indirectly control the core strategic forces by replacing and promoting several middle and high-level officers without background.

But she obviously couldn't replace everyone in the entire strategic force base with her own people.

The core strategic base, which had long been infiltrated by numerous chaebols and family forces, was filled with internal spies.

They are numerous and have no subordinates to each other. They urgently need a prestigious and popular senior officer to raise the banner and unite these forces.

Thinking of his son who was still studying at the Paratrooper Academy on the mother planet Earth, the deputy commander turned his head and looked at the person in charge of the base, and his eyes instantly became murderous.

Not long after, short and rapid gunshots rang out in the base.

Those soldiers suddenly launched a sneak attack on the soldiers loyal to Marshal Meru in the base.

Including the base's chief executive who was shot in the head by the deputy commander-in-chief.

Covering the wound on his arm caused by the exchange of fire, he looked at the fallen corpses everywhere in the base.

The deputy commander knew that things had reached a point of no return.

Once upon a time, as a middle-level military officer with no background, he hated those people who were supported by monopoly forces and relied on connections to get promoted.

But now, the troops supported by the monopoly tycoons and family forces all support him to become the supreme commander of the core strategic forces.

The successful seizure of power is just the beginning.

The danger is far from over.

The deterrent power of the core strategic forces is a hot commodity for all the monopoly tycoons and family forces within the federation.

The deputy commander, who has no chaebol or family background, knows that he is in great danger now.

The soldiers from the chaebol families can elect themselves to seize power, but they can also kill themselves when they have lost their usefulness.

The deputy commander-in-chief has never hesitated to assume the worst of these chaebols and family forces.

So they resolved the resistance in the base and gained supreme control.

The deputy commander-in-chief armed and assembled his own troops, and then sent a clear message to the Thraide army that had already entered the solar system.

The Thraide army, which is feared by the monopoly tycoons and family forces, and the [Human United Government] behind them, are the most suitable partners considered by this deputy commander-in-chief who has no background.

On the other side, the elite army of Thraide is approaching, and the monopoly military-industrial conglomerate alliance that controls the defense facilities of many planets in the core area of ​​the solar system still wants to sign some "security treaties" with the Thraide galaxy.

Other monopoly tycoons and families could quickly fall to their knees when facing the army of Slade, and they had no psychological burden in surrendering.

But the monopoly military-industrial conglomerate alliance is not an option, not only because the interstellar marshal Meru they support is the number one enemy of the Thraide galaxy.

Moreover, because of the previous arms trade dispute, the monopoly military-industrial conglomerate alliance has almost torn its relations with the Slade galaxy.

There is a serious conflict of interest between the two parties.

In the foreseeable future, after the Thraide galaxy wins the civil war, it will inevitably liquidate the monopoly military-industrial conglomerate alliance.

The building is about to collapse, and even a powerful military-industrial monopoly alliance has to seek self-protection.

However, the coalition government was not at all interested in the negotiations proposed by these monopoly military-industrial conglomerates.

In Gust's words, it is too embarrassing. Is the monopoly military-industrial conglomerate alliance qualified to negotiate with the coalition government?
War without bloodshed can solve no problem.

After receiving the clear communication from the Federation's core strategic forces, the Transformers special forces led by Optimus Prime were sent to take over.

The last bit of concern of the coalition government forces disappeared.

The elite troops were sent out to start clearing out the core areas of the Federation.
