Chapter 577 Decision

After lunch, Chen Chuan brought a cup of hot drink and stood by the porthole looking down. Looking down from a high place, the central city presented a different perspective.

The sunlight shines down from above, and the light changes in depth from high to low. The crisscrossing wide streets seem to have become just a few thin lines that can be manipulated at will. The high buildings that usually tower into the clouds and seem out of reach are all at your feet, which makes people inevitably feel a sense of detachment.

Pan Xiaode said on the side: "Our airship is responsible for maintenance and emergency replacement. It checks back and forth in various areas, so all kinds of information will be transmitted to us. Those are now being handled by people from the Government Affairs Office and the Ministry of Defense. Key information is not allowed to be leaked, but some general information does not prevent us from knowing it.

It is said that this time, in addition to the biological invasion of the Fusion Land, there was also a surprise attack by the old imperial family, but they were blocked by the sea in the east. Overall, the situation is still under the control of the Government Affairs Office and the Ministry of Defense.

I estimate this situation will continue for two days.

Oh, by the way, classmate Chen, you don't know that a resistance organization has also appeared. They even had a fight in Fengde District not long ago. I just saw it. The whole street was destroyed. It seems that it was all caused by the fight between third-level fighters... Let me show you..."

As he spoke, he transferred the image and asked curiously, "Student Chen, do all of you third-level fighters have such strong destructive power?"

Chen Chuan said: "Not everyone can do it."

Pan Xiaode was very eager for this and wanted to jump over this stage immediately.

Chen Chuan looked at the scene. There were potholes and gaps in small parts of the tall buildings, and the road seemed to have been bombarded repeatedly.

To be able to cause such a large-scale destruction, it must be a third-level fighter who has mastered the power of mind, and there is more than one. It seems that there are indeed many forces that have entered the central city to intervene this time.

As long as the division and reproduction of the mother shrimp does not end, similar scenes will probably continue to occur.

Inside the Ministry of Defense's command center, Commissioner Liang checked the time. It would be ten minutes until one in the afternoon, and the slug's reproduction would soon enter its tenth wave.

According to the analysis of the sentry tower, there may be about thirteen to fifteen waves this time.

Although there are more offspring, they are smaller and more numerous due to modulation, which means that each individual has more or less defects.

If the Dashun government wants to cultivate new field organisms, it will usually select the best individuals as candidates. If it cannot select those that meet the standard, it will make certain adjustments to this batch, which means that more resources need to be invested. Usually, only major forces can afford this cost.

So in theory, every individual is unimportant, but they are all important.

Based on previous estimates and Sentry Tower's current analysis, it can be basically confirmed that the subsequent intervals may not be as frequent as in the early stages, but will be longer.

This way, they don't have to mobilize forces as urgently as before, and they can concentrate more forces.

In fact, those companies that intend to interfere should also be aware of this, so they all took action in the early and middle stages. Most of their strength has been consumed in the early stages, and it is difficult to say whether they will take action later. He tends to believe that the other party will restrain themselves, but necessary precautions still need to be taken.

He glanced at the scene outside the Jiyang District, where the general from the old imperial family was still confronting Xue Shou. It seemed that he would not leave until the split was over.

Everything else is fine now, but what he is most worried about is that existence.

But... where is it?

He couldn't figure it out for a moment, but apart from this, there was another thing that needed attention, and that was the Ferris Wheel Company.

According to accurate intelligence, this company has put all the forces it can mobilize on the table in order to join the consortium and escape from its own constrained situation.

The Ferris Wheel Company's specific response will depend on the outcome of the battle at sea, but no news has been received yet about the situation there.

On the sea surface off the coast of Bahu Island, there were half-sunken and half-floating ship wreckages on the sea surface, and the strong smell of sulfur and burnt wood filled the air.

There are a large number of buoys and life rafts floating on the sea, and the crew of the company's joint fleet is trying to rescue the enemy and friendly personnel who have fallen into the water.

The naval battle between the three companies started at 5:20 in the morning and lasted until 1:30 in the afternoon, nearly eight hours, and ended with the victory of the joint fleet of Canglong Company and Ocean Development Group.

On the Ferris Wheel Company's side, five of the nine Yuanshan-class battleships were sunk, three were captured, and one escaped. Nine of the twelve gunboats were sunk, three were captured, and more than half of the twenty-five airships evacuated the battlefield.

On the Dashun side, only one reconnaissance ship and two gunboats were sunk, and only four of the twelve Changwei-class warships were slightly damaged. This can be considered a great victory.

But in fact, this battle was quite dangerous.

At the beginning of the battle, the Ferris Wheel Company directly released the modified flying creatures provided by the Linax Federation. These insect-like creatures were able to cling to the airbags of the airship, and then penetrate into a special biological fluid through the tail needles on their abdomens. After leaving, they could quickly cause a fire.

This is most likely a modified organism recently developed by the Linax Federation, so the company's joint fleet had never known about such a thing before, resulting in the loss of one-third of the airships that originally had an absolute advantage.

If they lose their advantage in the sky, it will become very difficult to fight, which means there will be no cover above them.

Fortunately, at the reminder of a staff officer, the Combined Fleet temporarily brought a batch of modified flying birds produced by the Wing Blade Light Nest Company, which stopped the offensive of these modified creatures in time and allowed the war to proceed smoothly.

Among them, the four submarines sent by the Dashun military made great contributions. Most of the Yuanshan-class warships that were sunk were sunk by them, and within two hours after the war broke out.

The Ferris Wheel Company was originally smaller in number than the Combined Fleet, and after being weakened by this incident, it never recovered. The Combined Fleet spent nearly six hours pursuing it before sinking the remaining fleet one by one or forcing them to surrender.

At this point, the fleet that the Ferris Wheel Company had spent ten years to assemble was completely destroyed, and from now on, its traces could only be found in record archives.

After confirming the results of the battle, Captain Feng Dingshan immediately sent a secret message to inform the Central City Defense Department of the outcome of the battle.

At 1:30 p.m., the telegram was delivered to the Central City Combat Command Center.

Commissioner Liang received the news immediately, and after repeatedly confirming that the news was true, he felt relieved.

This naval battle is crucial. If the combined fleet is defeated, there will be no more obstacles to the Ferris Wheel Company at sea. The company's forces can withdraw or return at any time, and they will become extremely passive.

After the Ferris Wheel Company lost its power at sea, even if they did nothing, they would be trapped on land and unable to move.

He handed the telegram to his female assistant and instructed her, "Pass this information to Minister Qi and Director Wei in a secret message."

The female assistant did as she was told immediately.

About ten minutes after the news spread, the female assistant put her hand on the wall and said something to her.

Commissioner Liang nodded, left the public area on the second floor, and came to the office lobby on the third floor. At this time, the surroundings became dark, and the light curtain on the wall flickered, and the figures of two people appeared there.

On the left is Qiao Yang, the trusted secretary of Minister Qi of the Government Affairs Office, and on the right is Deputy Director Wu Quan, who is in charge of specific affairs of the Bureau.

Commissioner Liang said, "Minister Qi and Director Wei should have read the telegram. Do you have anything to convey?"

Qiao Yang, a man in his forties wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking gentle and refined, smiled and said, "We need to give the public an explanation and account for this incident, and the Ferris Wheel Company is a good person to take responsibility."

Commissioner Liang immediately understood the Government Affairs Office's intentions. After a moment's consideration, he said, "What does Speaker Quan say? If we attack the Ferris wheel, the City Council probably won't agree."

Qiao Yang smiled and said, "Special circumstances require special treatment. This is an emergency period, and military regulations apply, but only for the time being."

Commissioner Liang nodded. In the current situation, except for the security forces guarding Weiguang District, Wuding District, Bainiao District and Motie Mountain, the rest of the military forces are in the hands of these three departments. Moreover, outside these areas, information and communication transmission is not smooth.

If any action is to be taken, all communication signals can be cut off in advance so that the parliament cannot stop them at all, but if this period is exceeded, it will be more difficult to deal with.

He reminded, “But don’t forget, those people from the old imperial family are still outside our door. We can’t ignore them. Moreover, we still don’t know what that person who leaked over from the other side wants to do, or where he is.

Is it appropriate for us to divert resources to deal with Ferris Wheel Company in the face of these threats?"

Director Wu then said, "With Mr. Xue in charge of confronting the old imperial family, that's enough. Unless they find another solid rift, there's no way they can break through. Judging from the current situation, this possibility is almost zero.

As for that existence, Commissioner Liang and Director Wei have already confirmed it with headquarters, and the active consciousness of the processing bureau, 'Andun', can make corresponding countermeasures for this.

Commissioner Liang looked at him. The active consciousness of the Processing Bureau is necessary to fight against the active consciousness of various companies. In fact, these are the companies they really need to guard against. If they take it out, aren't they afraid that these companies will take action?

Director Wu said solemnly, "We have been in contact with Wuyi College. If there are any changes in the companies, their active consciousness, Hongfu, can replace Andun when necessary."

Commissioner Liang understood. It seemed that the two departments had very clear attitudes towards the Ferris Wheel Company, and even represented the opinions of the upper echelons behind the two departments. Now, they were just waiting for him to express his stance.

He pondered for a moment, looked at the two people, and slowly said, "In view of the fact that the Ferris Wheel Company has repeatedly disrupted the order of Jibei Central City and posed a serious security threat to the Central City government, I propose in the name of the Ministry of Defense's Commissioner in Jibei Central City..."

His voice grew serious. "Activate the national special cleanup regulations and conduct a comprehensive purge and rectification of the Ferris Wheel Company to ensure that Dashun's national security and public interests are not harmed."

“Second!”

“Second!”
