Starfighter

In the first month of 2718 AD, on every planet inhabited by humans, including the mother planet of the earth, there is a New Year's atmosphere everywhere.Over every modern metropolis, there are all kinds of gorgeous fireworks projected by three-dimensional holograms. The streets and alleys and skyscrapers are full of people dressed in festive costumes.Laughter, singing, balloons, and even fireworks, vent people's joy all the time, and even the major planets in the New Miami star sector, which has just experienced war, are also full of festive atmosphere.

In the city of Filton on the Myersa planet in the St. Prolis sector, bright yellow fire dragons whizzed through the skyscrapers at high speed.It was a unique New Year's celebration ceremony on the planet Melsa. The fire dragon was composed of specially modified suspension locomotives. The exterior of these suspension locomotives was sprayed with patterns of various parts of the dragon body, and the locomotives were equipped with special fireworks.When the locomotive is running at high speed, these devices will continuously spray gorgeous fireworks outward, making the whole locomotive "fire dragon" more vivid and spectacular.

On the top floor of a towering skyscraper in the city center with a sinister black dragon carved on the top, a thin middle-aged man in a black vintage dress with white temples and a thin figure, is positive and negative. Standing quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows with folded hands, looking at the roaring fire dragons in the distance outside the window, fascinated.

"Master, Second Master and several clan elders are all here!" An old voice suddenly sounded in the luxurious hotel-style room.The middle-aged man turned around and saw an old man with white beard and hair and a slightly stooped figure standing respectfully with his hands down not far behind him.

"Where's Miss?" The middle-aged man asked lightly.

"Go back to the master, the young lady is accompanying the second aunt in the living room downstairs!" The old man bent slightly and replied.

The middle-aged man nodded, as if he wanted to go out, but he stopped after taking two steps, sighed thoughtfully, then sat down on the couch beside him, raised his head and frowned, and asked the old man who was following him. "Ah Fu, tell me, how did those people from the Miami sector lose so quickly? In less than two months, they were completely cleaned up by the Federation's fifth war zone?"

"My lord, what knowledge do you have for these big and small things?" The old man smiled modestly and replied.

"It's okay, you've been with me for so many years, sometimes you see many things better than I do. Maybe it's the so-called bystanders who know it better, Ah Fu, just talk about it!" The middle-aged man waved his hand and gestured.

"The little one just spouted nonsense, and the master has the right to listen to it as a joke!" The old man pondered for a moment, smiled and said something, then frowned and said seriously: "Master, the little one has nothing to say, I just know that there was once There is an old saying, called shooting a bird that stands out. I reckon that the people in the Miami Star District probably didn’t play the role of the bird well. Also, if it’s a group of birds, no matter how good a hunter is, I’m afraid they won’t be able to Can handle it."

"You mean..." Hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged man seemed to have an epiphany, frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly praised with joy: "Ah Fu, you see things better!" After a pause , the middle-aged man raised his head and continued to ask: "By the way, the emissaries from the Sharon sector and the Grancie sector haven't left Myersa yet, have they?"

"Master, they are still staying at the Shangri-Li Hotel!"

"Okay! Go and invite them over later, just say invite them to celebrate the New Year together!" The middle-aged man patted the leather armrest of the sofa, as if he had made some important decision, and his cloudy old eyes became clear and bright.

On Earth, the mother planet of the Federation, people from all over the world welcome the arrival of the new year with various ancient traditional customs.Although the technology has been highly developed, compared with other planets, the architectural complexes of human settlements on the earth are more antique. The culture and folk customs handed down by early humans are relatively intact on the earth.The people of the Federation on the home planet prefer to enjoy the family reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year, rather than participating in various New Year celebrations supported by high technology.

On the eastern coast of North America, a majestic and majestic metropolis stands by the sea. It is the headquarters of the Federation of All Humans - the capital New York.In a valley near the sea in the southeast corner of New York, there is a heavily fortified military base, which is the location of the Federal Army.

At this time, the federal military department was still as usual, and it looked deserted on the surface. Except for a few luxurious military locomotives that occasionally entered and exited the base, and the faint roar of the Banshee engine from time to time in the sky, there seemed to be no human voice.The base barriers poured from top-grade thick steel armor shone coldly in the afterglow of the setting sun, making the entire base look extraordinarily chilling.

However, this is only the scene on the surface of the base, but the underground base below the ground is brightly lit, and countless officers of various colors are busy nervously.

"Generals, please rest assured! We will have enough evidence soon!" In a secret communication room, a bald middle-aged senior colonel with a dark complexion and a strong figure faced more than a dozen people lined up in front of him. The holographic communication screen said respectfully.On those screens, there are more than a dozen four-star and five-star generals with different appearances, and an old man in his sixties and seventies with a bright head and white eyebrows in casual clothes.

"Yat, I hope you will prioritize the resources of the Ministry of Military Intelligence in the fifth war zone in the next step, understand?" the old man in plain clothes narrowed his old eyes and said calmly.Although the old man's expression seemed indifferent, there was a kind of awe-inspiring arrogance of a superior in his words.

"Yes, Marshal!" The middle-aged senior quickly stood up and saluted, and replied loudly.

The old man nodded, and then the screen flashed, and the half-length image of not being angry and arrogant disappeared, and the rest of the more than ten generals also nodded to Yate one after another, and cut off the communication one after another.

"These old men are really difficult to serve!" The middle-aged principal let out a sigh and shook his head, then walked to a microcomputer, clicked on the holographic display, found an encrypted file inside, and began to browse.

This is a summary report on the latest developments in the major regions of the Federation and the major colonial galaxies in the past month. And it was sorted out by dozens of senior intelligence officers of the military intelligence department after several days and nights of detailed screening.

The rebellion in the New Miami Sector was cleanly put down by the Fifth War Sector long before the New Year.Even so, outside public opinion has always believed that this was a failure of duty by the federal military department, which failed to kill the rebellion in its infancy, and caused the Miami star sector to suffer from the flames of war.However, only a few senior military officers in the military knew that the powerful military intelligence department had collected enough information one year before the New Miami star sector declared its independence, confirming that the star sector was planning to separate from the federation for independence and self-government.

The reason why the Federal Military Department allowed the Miami Star Region to declare its independence was apparently caused by the inaction of the Military Department, but in fact, in the eyes of a few insiders, such as the Colonel Officer named Art, this was actually a It is a triangular game between the core senior officials of the military headed by Marshal Rui Youling, and the subordinate war zones and the governor government of the colonial galaxy.

To clarify this seemingly weird triangular game, one needs to have a general understanding of the power relationship network within the human federal government at this time.At that time, the power core of the federal government consisted of three parts. One was a cabinet led by a prime minister and his subordinates, responsible for the normal operation of the federal government; The appointment, removal, impeachment and designation of various major decisions. The third is that the military controls the five major regions and is responsible for defending the federal government.

Originally, these three cores of power were mutually restricted and balanced.But I don't know when, the power of the Federal Chancellor and the cabinet has plummeted, almost becoming a puppet of the Federal Parliament.And the only ones that can compete with the federal parliament are the military departments that apparently control billions of powerful troops in the five major regions.

In the first ten years when Rui Youling became the only marshal of the Federation and took control of the military headquarters, the five major war zones under the military headquarters were pretty obedient.However, starting about five years ago, except for the first war zone directly under the military headquarters, the other four war zones gradually began to lose control of the military headquarters.This worried the core senior military officials headed by Marshal Rui Youling.

After a long period of analysis, these old men unanimously concluded that the federal civil war was inevitable.With this level of sober understanding, the old men began to try to make the outbreak of the federal civil war proceed according to their own wishes, in order to obtain the greatest benefits in the civil war, and finally completely defeat all potential hostile forces and obtain the absolute power of the federal government. Control.

The military intelligence department established by the military with astronomical sums played a major role at this time.The detailed information it collected in various aspects provided strong support for the decisions of these old men.To the surprise of the core leaders of the military such as Rui Youling, the information obtained from the military intelligence department showed that the Federal Parliament was also gradually losing control over the governors of the major colonial regions, and more than a dozen colonial governors seemed to be ready to move. .

This information made the old and spicy Rui Youling smell a chance.In his view, if the major colonial governments can be lured to jump out and start a civil war before the other four war zones officially turn against the federal military, then they can use the power of the federal parliament and the public opinion circle to help the military force the other four The counter-insurgency war is carried out in the major theaters to achieve the purpose of consuming the military strength of the remaining four major theaters.And through the federal civil war, the military can gradually control the federal parliament.This is undoubtedly a brilliant move to kill three birds with one stone.

When they learned that the New Miami Star Region was planning to become independent, the Federal Military Department not only turned a blind eye, but even intentionally or unintentionally sold some high-tech weapons and equipment to the Miami Governorate through private channels.Originally, the top military officials also expected that the new Miami army would be able to consume a large amount of the elite of the Fifth Theater.

However, to their surprise, Bart and Auston, the commanders of the fifth war zone, seemed to have noticed something. In the third week after the outbreak of the civil war, they changed their previous cautious style and almost dispatched the fifth army. All the elites in the war zone extinguished the flames of war in the Miami sector in less than two months with a thunderous force.

In this way, not only did the military strength of the fifth war zone not suffer any major losses, but also through fierce battles, the major main forces under it gained a lot of valuable combat experience.

"Solomy's counterattack?" Art flipped through the encrypted file, thinking wildly, and suddenly a message popped up.Almost out of professional instinct, Yate only took a cursory look, and he clearly felt that this so-called "Solomi counterattack" had a lot to say, so he couldn't help but examine it carefully.

"Lore, arrange a special plane for me to go to the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone!" After a while, Art closed the encrypted file, opened a small communication device at hand, and gave instructions to a lieutenant officer inside.
