In the Space-Time Bureau, General Sheng Xia, who should have retired honorably, was unfortunately exiled after she impulsively "slandered" her superior before her departure.
Waking up...
Chapter 68 A Beautiful Counterattack
As Mo Han's fingertips flew to track the past, Shengxia, who was at the abandoned base in Guishan, also received a warning from Xiaoai. There were two suspicious signal sources nearby. After scanning, confirming, and comparing, it was concluded that the two signal sources came from completely different time and space.
One is the intrusion signal source in the current time and space, and the other is an old signal source with a time and space bureau number that is frozen.
"So, what you're saying is that there's a very real possibility that there's a space beneath this abandoned base that's like a bug and hasn't been discovered by the Space-Time Bureau?"
When Shengxia was talking to Xiaoai, she casually placed her hand on the ice beside her, and an inexplicable memory suddenly flooded into her mind.
In that memory, war raged around her, the sky dyed gray by the gunfire, yet someone gently reached out to smooth her sweat-soaked hair from her forehead and encouraged her: "Don't be afraid. Just go for it."
"Although I'm just your guide, I will stay with you until the end, Xia."
The memory stopped abruptly at this point. Shengxia frowned and covered her forehead. Seeing this, the people around her immediately surrounded her with concern. After checking Shengxia's vital signs, the doctor suggested that she retreat and rest.
Shengxia didn't force herself to follow suit. The live camera shifted to the personnel in charge of excavation and exploration. After returning to the temporary internal medical center, Shengxia was puzzled by the memory and asked Xiaoai, "What was that scene just now? Did you see it?"
Xiao Ai's answer was very strange: "No signal source that would cause fluctuations in your brain was detected."
Shengxia: ... "Including the old signal source from the Space-Time Bureau?"
"It has lost its original function and is about to fall into obscurity, but I have marked the corresponding location for you on the satellite map."
Shengxia looked at the suspicious spots marked by Xiaoai and felt that this place was indeed very strange. She asked Xiaoai again, "Can we contact the Space-Time Bureau immediately?"
I got a predictable reply: "The communication methods here are out of order."
Shengxia couldn't help but lower her eyes.
... Her boss had no good intentions in letting her retire and come here.
But now that things have come to this point, we can only deal with them as they come.
At the same time, after seeing Shengxia and the others' movements slow down near Ghost Mountain through the live broadcast, for some reason, the senior officials of both the Federation and the surrounding star field forces breathed a sigh of relief.
They didn't really think that anything valuable could be dug out of the Ghost Mountain, they just wanted to give Shengxia a little frustration. After all, her journey was so smooth, so smooth that it was against the will of heaven. It was so smooth that they just wanted to pinch their own philtrum to relax.
Now, with great difficulty, a ghost mountain could stop her unstoppable pace. However, the next second, Commissioner Searles contacted them and announced with regret that the information invasion of Volk Planet had to be temporarily suspended. As expected, the other party had discovered them. In order to avoid leaking more data, they had to unilaterally destroy the signal transmission tower near the ghost mountain.
With a loud bang,
Before everyone could react to what was happening, an avalanche started near Ghost Mountain, accompanied by a violent explosion.
The current difficulty, coupled with the strange history of Ghost Mountain, has caused many people, including the citizens of the planet Volker, to worry that this is a signal from Ghost Mountain to the diggers: if they don't evacuate, their lives will be buried.
However, after organizing the rescue, Shengxia unexpectedly made a public speech, claiming that a signal transmission tower placed by alien forces near Ghost Mountain was found.
Now the other party has realized that the information of their signal tower has been captured, and has no choice but to blow it up, trying to bury everything.
This is enough to illustrate two points: First, Ghost Mountain can be deeply excavated and explored. The previous strange exaggeration is nothing more than a lie deliberately created by alien forces to cooperate with the history of the base being abandoned for unknown reasons in the past;
Second, in recent years, alien forces have been active on the planet Volk and have actively interfered in the internal affairs of the planet Volk. Based on this, she will submit a lawsuit to the Federal Bureau and hopes that the Federal Bureau can send relevant personnel to collect evidence and conduct an investigation.
In short, Shengxia not only showed up at the first opportunity to shatter the horrifying rumor that "there really are ghosts in Ghost Mountain", but also fanned the flames of the relationship between the Federal Bureau and the surrounding star field forces, forcing the Federal Bureau to think for themselves whether to accept the knife she had already handed over.
At the same time, since this is a live broadcast of the entire star region, considering the corresponding public opinion that Shengxia has already caused, the Federation really has to be led by the situation on Shengxia's side.
Soon, the Federal Headquarters issued a statement, saying that it would send relevant investigators to land on Volk Planet after the snow melted to collect evidence of interference from alien forces, and at the same time warn the surrounding star forces not to cross the federal regime red line.
The statement was insignificant, but unexpectedly, Shengxia received a call from An Yuan. According to An Yuan's description, the people inside the Independence Army were extremely angry about the statement from the Federal Bureau.
"We used to think that as long as we could stand up again and be valuable to the Federation, then the Federation would at least take us into consideration. But now, even with all the excuses, evidence, and materials ready, the Federal Bureau doesn't seem to care."
Hearing the faint tremor in An Yuan's voice, Sheng Xia felt relieved for some reason. She was glad that An Yuan came to talk to her about this topic now instead of waiting until she handed over all the power to her before stepping into this trap.
Shengxia guided Anyuan to take a longer-term view and look at things from the perspective of the Federal Bureau. If it was the Federal Bureau, it was originally a large-scale alliance-based regime that was formed by a group of scattered business groups and political organizations. This meant that there was already competition among them.
Therefore, the planet Volker is just a chess piece on the chessboard. It does not need to be too developed. It is enough to contain the surrounding star field forces and stabilize the territory of other alliance groups within the federation.
The Federation has not given up on the planet Volk over the years. In addition to the moral fear of causing panic among other alliances, there is also a major reason that it cannot find a new replacement.
So the Federation jumps back and forth. If the benefits are greater than the input, then the Federation will repeatedly hold Volker Planet. But in fact, they don’t care about Volker Planet at all, they don’t care about the future fate of this planet or what will happen to the people.
It is undoubtedly a naive and fatal idea for the independence army to pin their hopes on overthrowing the original "incompetent" federal government and then reintegrating into the federation. However, they are currently busy defeating the existing regime, and their long-term goal of the future path has become blurred.
It was not until now that the Independence Army saw that the Federation was indifferent to the knife that Shengxia had offered them that they suddenly realized that in the future they had originally envisioned, they were really alone from beginning to end. But the irony was that they had never given up negotiating with the Federation or relying on the Federation in their hearts.
"It's not that I haven't considered complete independence, but compared to these large forces, we are still too weak." An Yuan's voice became increasingly weak.
"If we develop first, we will naturally have the confidence." Shengxia's voice sounded cheerful and peaceful, and contained a strong power.
"Hoping for help from any outside forces is ultimately futile. After all, everyone is only good at adding icing on the cake, not providing timely assistance. We must grit our teeth and hold on until dawn. However, I didn't expect the Federation to take any drastic actions, but at least I can be sure of one thing at this moment."
"What?"
"Before the snow melts, the Federal Bureau will definitely not send anyone here unless it's absolutely necessary."
An Yuan: ... "Isn't this definitely a bad thing?"
"It might not be a bad thing. A general may not obey orders from the army when he is away."
An Yuan:?
On the other side, Wei Jie, who had inexplicably lost money, looked at the increasing amount in his cryptocurrency savings card and fell into a state of confusion. He turned his head to look at Mo Siming beside him. Mo Siming obviously did not expect this situation either.
He originally thought that being able to sell one order was already very impressive, but he didn't expect that the other party would send money directly to him after just a few words, which made him lose his balance.
You have to know that this is just simple savings, saving first and then spending, and it is not certain whether you can get the physical weapons, but the other party just transfers money from one place to another. I don’t understand it at all.
Mo Siming reported the news to Sheng Xia, who then asked Mo Siming to pass the news back to the Federal Bureau. After that, the Federal Bureau was in an uproar.
Fortunately, Shengxia brought Mo Siming and Wei Jie with her when she communicated with the Federal Bureau personnel, otherwise the two of them would not have understood Shengxia's intentions at all.
I only heard the top brass of the Federal Bureau yelling that Shengxia was a traitor. How could he sell the robot dog and even the ship-borne missile, especially the newly upgraded ship-borne missile?
But Shengxia calmly responded, "When you accuse us, you should provide corresponding military protection. In a word, you should first make a statement to the surrounding star field forces. Otherwise, you can just pretend you don't know about this and completely ignore us."
"you?!"
The top officials of the Federal Bureau were furious and threatened Shengxia again: "Aren't you afraid that we and the surrounding star field forces will unite to deal with you?"
Sheng Xia laughed out loud: "This is the first time I've seen someone stab me before the fight even starts."
After all, she is still under the Federation and has absolute legal power to rule. But if she is not there and the Volk planet becomes independent directly, it will cause certain social unrest to the Federation Headquarters even in the past.
It is because of this that the Federal Bureau repeatedly sends people to the Volk planet like cannon fodder to maintain its rule.
But Shengxia was completely out of control and even threatened them: "If you scold me again, I will sell more high-tech products."
The words were blunt and arrogant.
The senior officials of the Federal Bureau clenched their fists again and again, and finally... "If you have any opinions, you can raise them. As your superior, we can actually communicate with each other properly, right?"
"Some of the warships have already sailed over, but Planet Volk is still in its winter after all."
