Chapter 381: The Federal War Bureau
In the year 12521 of the Federal Era, the Federation finally reluctantly admitted that it was in an extremely disadvantageous position in the war against the Zerg. And at the urging of the protesters, it was announced that the number of habitable planets still preserved today was three.
This result caused an uproar in the whole society, and people were very incomprehensible why their own army would be ruined like this after more than a century of killing and living. People protested, marched, denounced the incompetence of the military. But this is of no use except for wasting precious supplies and one's own saliva. For all men know that as long as there is not a day out of the war, the Union is in the hands of the military for one day. At this time, politics had become a tool to assist the military in stabilizing society, and it no longer had the power it had centuries ago.
After more than a century, people's living standards have not improved, but have regressed a little. Correspondingly, military science and technology have developed rapidly, and there have been more inventions in just one century than in the previous four or five centuries combined. Even so, however, the Federation has not been able to save humanity from the pattern of regression.
Television sets seem to have become the military's exclusive propaganda tool, and all television programs are run by the military's propaganda department itself. The TV commercials that were cursed half a century ago turned out to be the thing that people miss the most.
Art courses are no longer taught in schools, and everything students learn from an early age is required to be applicable to the battlefield. The former liberal arts college was also used as a production base for various branches of the military, used to fill the gap on the battlefield.
So the children are simply divided into dead professions: scientists, engineers, soldiers, and workers!
All of this is in the service of war.
The reform of all soldiers was implemented 30 years ago. From the elderly to the babies, they were all included in the military, and they were forcibly assigned their own jobs. In addition to eating and sleeping every day, there is only work and daze.
People have long been tired of this monotonous life, and they don't know how long it will be. If it weren't for the regular brainwashing of the TV set every day to strengthen their minds, people might have been unable to stand it and wanted to self-destruct.
Watching the numbers representing time change little by little, their lives seemed to be left with nothing left but to die. Whether it's such a monotonous old death or being killed by bugs, there seems to be no difference.
However, today is a little different from usual, because the Zerg, who have been pressing on everyone's hearts, finally ignored the Human Federation for a year. The assault on humanity has once again begun.
"Ang --!"
The piercing sound of jǐng resounded on the three remaining inhabited planets of mankind, and more than 20 billion people, after the initial panic, quickly and orderly took refuge in bomb shelters. As the figures on the surface of the earth gradually disappeared, bright and dazzling sparks shone in the sky from time to time, symbolizing the beginning of the centuries-long war between humans and the Zerg.
"Whoosh-smack!"
Countless sarcomas with translucent yellow liquid struck through the layers of defenses of the Federation fleet and smashed straight to the ground.
Biological cells collide with hard stones. The results speak for themselves. Countless sarcomas seemed to be rotten grapes thrown on the cutting board, leaving specks of blood on the ground, and at the same time, they also fell to pieces. The burst of plasma instantly stained the land into a bloodstained battlefield.
Countless hideous-looking Zerg quickly crawled through the broken cracks, roaring and speeding away in all directions. That eagerness of action, like a hyena on the prairie that had been hungry for seven or eight days, suddenly smelled of carrion, and seemed so greedy and impatient.
"Ah--!h
People who don't have time to hide in safety. An irrepressible scream came out of his throat, and the originally orderly retreating crowd instantly panicked. People scrambled to get to safety. The shouts of the crippled and crippled correctional officers from the front had become a meaningless roar at this moment, and no one cared what he was talking about.
Obviously, no matter how much these civilians behave like a soldier in peacetime. In the event of a sudden battle, their fragile nature will be instantly exposed. This is the essence of human beings, no matter how righteous and awe-inspiring the words are. There will be a hint of luck in my heart. And this is precisely this kind of luck, on the planet that has not descended on the Zerg for half a century, has made the desire of all the people to be soldiers come to naught.
The chirping of the anti-aircraft newspaper, the roar of the Zerg and the terrified screams of the humans are intertwined, forming an alternative trio. Let this area turn into a battlefield in an instant, and the overture to the death music is staged.
The Zerg quickly found the target of the killing with their instincts, and the eight sharp feet on their abdomen instantly tore the prey they were targeting into pieces, and the splashed blood and torn internal organs spilled the heads and faces of the people nearby, and many people were mixed up in an instant.
However, it was because of this bloody scene that more people finally woke up from the beginning. He quickly pulled out the firearm he was carrying with him and frantically shot at the nearest bug. The sound of gunfire alerted more people, and the scale of the counterattack spread from the point in an instant.
The war has finally begun!
The countless fires in the sky and the distant roar that almost connected them showed that the defenses at all levels were also beginning to tilt their fire.
Countless trained citizens have spontaneously formed defensive formations, dodging behind advantageous defenses, skillfully using various weapons against the bugs. The ground army was not slow to react, and the combat vehicles and heavily armed machine guns, which were on standby at any time, had already launched defensive attacks at the first moment of discovering the Zerg invasion.
However, the staff officers who formulated this defense plan obviously did not take into account this pattern of indiscriminate reinforcements, so that the army was unable to fight fires everywhere. Even in their own team, there are those who have been directly killed by the sarcoma that fell from the sky, not to mention the bugs that started to break fast from the inside.
The commander had no choice but to divide his men into squads as soon as possible, referring to the model of the interstellar marines, fighting into unknown areas and helping the nearby militia build a strong defensive fortress.
"Boom -!!"
A meat ball that was obviously more than ten times larger than 100 small meat balls smashed into a square of the troops. The huge square of more than 20,000 square meters was instantly covered with the purple liquid retained in the meat ball, and the broken meat ball in the middle was violently torn to pieces, and a huge beetle more than three meters tall and exuding a metallic luster appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Then, as if receiving a signal, more than 100 small meat balls around the beetle burst out one after another, and countless creatures with two large clips on their backs and wings on their backs rose into the air at the same time. It seems to surround the beetle with a sense of protection, and there is no attack at all.
Calmly, I can't see the irritability in its own racial genes.
"It's a fire-breathing beetle!" In the already established defensive position not far away, the commander put down the telescope in his hand, said a word to the adjutant, and casually threw the telescope back. The lieutenant, who had only one arm in the back, didn't look at it, but reached out and grabbed the goggles in the air and put them on his own eyes.
"It seems that the atmospheric researcher and those people are not all eating white rice, at least they are still very accurate about the landing location of the ground leader!" The adjutant nodded and said with a smile.
Seeing the scale of the leader-level Zerg guard on the opposite side, he had the confidence to take it down.
"Bullshit!" The commander, who had the rank of colonel, took a sip and scolded: "This thing is still predicted by them, such a big reminder is as conspicuous as a lamp in the sky." Anyone with eyes can see where it's falling! It's blowing all day long, and I can bear them to predict a brain worm for me! ”
The adjutant smiled bitterly: "Sir, at this time, you will leave your mouth, don't they have no choice." If it weren't for the trouble they had when they were researching brain worms a few years ago, the name on their heads wouldn't have to be changed to this bullshit "atmosphere"! ”
"Humph!"
The colonel also seemed to know the inside story of those people, and after snorting twice to express his indignation, he stopped speaking, and waved his hand directly to the adjutant, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, tell the cubs to start attacking!" The rìzi who worked for the Federation has arrived! ”
The adjutant gave a salute, turned around and shouted loudly: "Target Spitfire Beetle, Escort Level L, plan C is scheduled to be used, pay attention to each team, the attack begins!" ”
"Yes! Sir! More than a dozen squad leaders replied at the same time, and then quickly beckoned their team members to quickly assault according to the predetermined position.
"The chariot is in place! Advance! ”
As the roar fell, four huge chariots slowly drove out from behind the position, and the huge cannon muzzles kept adjusting from time to time, constantly bombarding the target fire-breathing behemoth.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom!"
Four shells slammed into the huge beetle at the same time, and four explosions sounded in a row, and the huge impact instantly bombarded the hard ground in the square, setting off a wave of soil more than ten meters high.
"Heavy machine gun squad, take cover. Keep an eye out for bugs that intend to sneak up on you from all directions, especially the meat balls in the sky, and you must not let them go! ”
After the commander issued this order loudly, he retracted his head into the chariot and said to the adjutant beside him with a smile: "You now know why I like to fight in the Capital Star. ”
The adjutant nodded and said, "This is already obvious, sir, not to mention the number of heavy machine guns, the huge muzzle of the chariot is a great weapon, and the expeditionary force will definitely not have this treatment." Not to mention our two low-altitude bombers! ”
"That's right!" The Commander, with a fierce wave of his hand, said hatefully, "Today we will let these damn bugs know that the home planet is definitely different from the planet they occupied before. If you want to bite down, be careful to break off their front teeth! ”
