Chapter 29: A Great Rebellion, a Frustrating Death
At the same time, the offensive plan against the west was being carried out in an orderly manner. The Sophus family originally thought that the planetary commander would allow the Federal Security Force to march into the west on a large scale. Based on their understanding of the Federal Security Force's loose marching discipline, they only needed to send in appropriate personnel in disguise to cause sabotage.
Perhaps it will take less than two days. As long as they see dead bodies, the federal security team members who seem to be united now will definitely be discouraged and may even blame the planet commander.
As long as this atmosphere of mutual accusations and suspicion is formed, it won't be long before their family turns against them. Humph, now everyone else is just standing by and watching, while the planetary commander still thinks he has a good chance of winning. When everyone turns against them, the people will spontaneously send her to the gallows.
All in all, she was so arrogant that she dared to launch a military operation two weeks before the arrival of winter. Wasn't she afraid that she would not be able to complete the preparations for winter?
That being said, the Sophos family waited and waited, but what they got was not the federal security team, but a round of missile bombardment, followed by a search and attack conducted by a swarm of drones and ground drones. Even more outrageous was that these searches were accompanied by loudspeakers playing quotations to persuade them to surrender:
"Winter is coming! Don't you want to warm up in the melting cave? Surrender now and we'll treat you well. We won't kill you or torture you. We'll provide you with plenty of food. This is certified by the planetary commander. We'll keep our word and be monitored by the entire star region."
"Now is the best time to surrender. Do you really want to continue working for the Sophus family? They are using you as cannon fodder. Surrender, surrender now."
"Broadcast a safe surrender route. The planetary commander will deploy troops to protect you throughout the entire process, just to ensure your survival."
"Surrender, surrender~ Surrender as soon as possible~"
…
At the same time, Shengxia had already given special instructions to the federal security team members before they took action on the surrender safety route:
"I've seen everyone's training results and status. To be honest, sending everyone to the battlefield now would be pure suicide. But I have to fight this battle. Only by winning can we safely survive this winter. Otherwise, once everyone enters the melting cave, it will be a complete reality show of mass slaughter."
At this point, the members of the Federal Security Team smiled bitterly, thinking that it was time to go through the usual routine, which was to talk to them about the significance of sacrifice, and then have them write their own wills and send them to the battlefield.
But this time, Shengxia didn't do that. She took out the "Infantry Regiment Three-Three System" squad guide that surprised everyone, requiring each squad member to clearly know the living preferences and combat habits of their squad mates. At the same time, the squad leader must also clearly know the living preferences and combat habits and even the family background of each of his squad members.
In short, the squad leader is like the nanny of the entire squad. If there is anything, they will go to the captain. Then there is the squad leader, platoon leader, company commander...
"Soldiers, I've divided you into teams like this because I want you to know that each of you is incredibly valuable and precious. Stay alive and spend this cold winter with me. I won't give up on anyone, and I won't abandon anyone, okay?"
They never expected that the planet commander invited them not to die but to survive. In the words of the heads of various departments of the Federal Security Bureau: "This planet commander is really good at winning people's hearts."
But... even if it's just a pretense, if it can really reduce casualties, even if it's just a pretense, they will be extremely grateful to her. After all, behind each of these people is a family that needs their support.
Of course, some people think that Shengxia is taking the opportunity to reform the army. However, all the people who complained were called to Shengxia's office one by one. It is rumored that after they came out, they became unusually kind and friendly and expressed their full support for Shengxia. Of course, this also became one of the weird stories on the planet Volk in the future.
On the day when a safe surrender route was opened to the west,
The planet commander gave the members of the Federal Security Team another special and soft "gift", which was the children who were originally trained to be killers in private prisons. Shengxia asked the members of the Federal Security Team to take full responsibility for taking care of these children, not to underestimate them and to protect them well.
After completing their mission at the Government Affairs Hall, these children have been wandering around the mission hall idly, searching for the so-called "meaning of battle." They originally thought they would wander around like this with nothing to do until winter.
Unexpectedly, on the second day after the battle in the west, Shengxia gathered them in her office and asked them again: "Do you know what you are fighting for?"
The children looked at each other, and some of them were brave enough to say that the people in the government hall had families and even children, but they didn't, so it was obvious that the meaning and reason of their fight were different from those of the people in the government hall.
I thought Shengxia would say they were stupid, but unexpectedly, Shengxia praised them instead and said that they were very intelligent. However, regarding the question they asked before, "What should we fight for?"
Shengxia still didn't give an answer. Instead, she asked them to help the federal security team members on the safe surrender route: "I know that the Sophos family has a large number of children or killers like you in captivity in the west. The inexperienced federal security team members can't handle this group of people. You need to help."
"And by the way, you can also see the difference between those who don't know why they are fighting and those who do."
The children looked at each other again, and suddenly one of them asked, "Do we need to go over and kill those people?"
Shengxia almost spit out a mouthful of water after hearing this: "No, of course not. Well, not absolutely. If it's someone who sneaks in and wants to cause trouble, I agree that you can kill him, but this time I hope you can also join the ranks of persuading him to surrender, understand him, persuade him, and help him get out of the quagmire he was in, okay?"
"We don't understand the words you used." The children shook their heads. Shengxia thought for a moment and replied succinctly, "In short, make them surrender. If they come here to cause trouble, then kill them."
"I like to kill them." The children spoke the truth. Shengxia was silent for a few seconds. It seems that education work is indeed a long and arduous journey.
However, the arrival of this group of children had a subtle chemical reaction with the federal security team members. The children talked a lot about the topic of killing each other and weapons, while the federal security team members took care of them, learned about weapons with them, and explained to them the topic of why they were fighting. They even wanted to tell them fairy tales.
Therefore, the atmosphere of the troops stationed along the entire surrender safety route was solemn yet tender, and soon this tenderness gradually permeated the mercenaries and trained killer children in the West.
Perhaps it was because of the same experience that these children were able to talk to the people from the West easily when trying to persuade them to surrender. However, it was not until they saw the numb eyes of the other party and the light in the eyes of the federal security team members that these children who were brought to the government hall by Shengxia truly understood Shengxia's words, "What is the difference between those who know why they are fighting and those who don't know why they are fighting?"
In the final analysis, this was more like an enlightenment of thought. After all, the commander of the planet on the front battlefield had invested heavily in using his signature weapons, which had made the Sophos family furious and made people from all sides doubt whether this government would go bankrupt and what to do in winter.
Even someone from the Federation contacted Shengxia remotely, trying to hold her accountable or ask her what she was trying to do, but Shengxia rejected them all on the grounds of feeling unwell and said that she would give a corresponding answer in the warm season next year. At the same time, Shengxia brought out the Planet Commander Federation Act to maintain her current crazy military operations.
Of course, these things were reported by Star Network News at the first time. It can be said that during this period, the planet Volker almost dominated the hot search list of the nearby star field news, and even spread to the entire star field at one point. The personal evaluation of Shengxia, the planet commander, was also mixed.
Sometimes Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen couldn't help but worry that Shengxia would not be able to bear the pressure. In addition to such a high-intensity workload and dispatch and command, Shengxia occasionally had to go to other places to do some face-to-face activities to stabilize the people's hearts.
"Honestly, do you have time to sleep every day?"
Facing Wei Jie's question, Sheng Xia just grinned and didn't answer. To be honest, every time she went to sleep, she dreamed of the hateful face of her former boss in the Space-Time Bureau.
She couldn't sleep, not at all. She had to quickly sort out this mess before she could start the era of large-scale infrastructure construction, right?
Five days later, when the chill of winter arrived early,
The Sophos family finally couldn't hold on any longer and prepared to move. They had to contact the Independence Army again. You know, in the previous battle, the Sophos family was quite dissatisfied with the Independence Army's use of cold weapons.
The two sides argued for many times, and just when the Independence Army thought that they would never get back the money for the cooperative weapons, the Sophus family gave away the location of the underground passage and asked the Independence Army to cause riots in multiple starship ports to force the family members to leave.
An Yuan immediately reported this news to Sheng Xia and shared his speculation: "They may not trust us to arrange a route for us to leave. Judging from the underground tunnel map they provided, this network is very complex and deadly."
Shengxia's voice sounded as calm as ever: "Then we can use the process of elimination. The starship port where you caused the disturbance can eliminate the possibility of them leaving, but they still have weapons in their hands. Now that they have fired the first shot, they don't care about firing a few more shots. This is the most troublesome part."
"Taking advantage of the chaos to escape, the exact time from entering the starship port to boarding the starship is only three minutes at the shortest....Are you not considering closing the planet's port?"
Listening to An Yuan's words, Sheng Xia suddenly laughed out loud, saying that this period of time is the time for people from all over the Volk planet to return home. If the starship port is completely closed for two weeks, the people of the Sofus family may be able to leave with their own connections.
But for ordinary people who are in a hurry to return to Volk Planet, the closure of the port means that they have to spend the winter in the alien domain, and the cost is even higher than simply entering the melt cave to spend the winter.
If you don’t have money, you will die.
An Yuan was silent. She didn't expect Sheng Xia to think this way and didn't know how to comfort Sheng Xia. She only knew that everything before her was crazy. They were completely in the open, and the Sophos family could disguise themselves and leave from any open port. They could even create a big chaos before leaving to destroy Sheng Xia's dignity.
Suddenly, Shengxia suggested that Anyuan go and talk to the Sophos family. The Independence Army could only cause disturbances in three starship ports at most, and would not be responsible for anything else.
"What about you?"
"Take a gamble."
"ah?"
The communication with Shengxia was cut off. An Yuan was confused and had to follow Shengxia's orders. He argued with the Sofus family and finally agreed to start riots in the east, south and west of the main cities on the Volk planet.
Of course, the riot was also a cold weapon conflict, so An Yuan's joke, which was just a casual mention, was played out in real life.
After delivering the corresponding cooperative weapons and supplies from the underground tunnel, the Sophos family watched the Star Network News Network broadcast that the Independence Army had "provoked" the federal government again and caused a large-scale riot at the starship port. They waited for the riot to be halfway through and contacted the elders of the population export faction instructed by Mo Siming to enter the starship port and launch the corresponding starship to escape.
At this moment, Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen were watching this "large-scale riot" in the hospital ward, as if they were dreaming back to the first day they went to pick up Shengxia. The first day was also a "large-scale riot": Although the Black Smoke Gang and the White Saltpeter Gang were fighting over territory, to put it bluntly, they were also supported by the arms faction behind them, asking them to go over and give the new planetary commander a warning.
Now, a similar cold weapon riot has occurred, except that the targets of the riot have changed to the Independence Army and the Federal Security Team, and both sides obey the orders of the planetary commander. Instead, the ones who have to escape in disgrace are the Sofus family, who were once a member of the arms faction.
It seems that their planet commander is actually quite petty?
At the same time, at the chaotic scene at the starship port, after witnessing the arrival of relevant news media reporters, the Independence Army simply made a big move and released... a smoke bomb?
At this time, at the core central starship port, the Sofus family went against the flow of people into the starship hall. They originally wanted to dress up as ordinary passengers, but they were caught by the "enthusiastic good citizens", that is, the independent army led by Mo Siming.
Not only that, the independent army members who captured them also left corresponding evidence using the surveillance cameras in the starship hall.
When everyone's attention was focused on the chaotic three starship ports, Shengxia suddenly appeared and announced that the members of the Sofus family had been arrested today. She thanked the enthusiastic citizens for their active reports and then released the footage of the Sofus family members being arrested one by one and escorted to the police car.
At the same time, Shengxia issued an ultimatum to the militants still entrenched in the west who refused to surrender: "The safe surrender passage will be closed in three days. After that, I will directly block all routes to the west and cut off the corresponding heating resources. All roads, including underground passages, will be directly blocked."
It can be said that the previous words are not very important, but the four words "underground passage" that were exposed are full of gold. Later news also revealed that the federal government represented by the planet commander has recently contacted relevant companies to begin re-evaluating and repairing the passages that previously remained underground in major cities on the planet Volk. In the future, these passages will be made into corresponding urban functions or sewage channels to improve the livability of the city.
The vigorous civil war on the planet Volk came to an end so suddenly, which surprised all parties involved. They speculated about the hidden story behind it.
"Huh, if you ask me, this is too extreme. What if the other party doesn't believe the sudden appearance of the population export faction elder?" Mo Siming, who had returned to his villa after a hard day's work, was obviously quite dissatisfied with Shengxia's request.
Sheng Xia smiled and replied, "That's why I said I'd take a gamble. After all, it's too difficult for me to guess which starship port they'll go to or the overall layout."
"Luckily, they believed you. But honestly, your deception was quite impressive. You deliberately showed them the map of the underground tunnel to let them know that the Independence Army had betrayed them. But you could also use this to escape. The population exporters were already unhappy with the Independence Army, so this was a fatal blow to the Sofus family, who were already trapped." Mo Siming couldn't suppress his smile when he thought of Shengxia's explanation.
"No, no, this is also due to your good planning before." Shengxia started the standard "business mutual praise",
Mo Siming couldn't help but snort but still said modestly: "There's no need to say such things anymore. Oh, and I'll say it in advance, Happy New Year."
After hearing this, Shengxia couldn't help but stretch herself:
"Yes, now we can all have a good New Year."
She turned her head to look out the window and saw a crystal snowflake falling, indicating that a severe cold weather was about to come.
