Chapter 584: 253 five hundred twenty million _3
The military losses were equally appalling.
Over eight million soldiers of the Empire had fallen—a majority from the secondary and tertiary line troops of the six Administrative Stars and the surface ard police forces; all with military status were accounted for.
More than 1,300 various warships were destroyed—mainly from local defense fleets.
Nineteen main battleships were lost.
A Dreadnought encountered a malfunction due to high-intensity operations and needed maintenance.
All wars were tragic.
This one was especially so.
The artificially planted insect swarm simultaneously attacked the forty or so warships at the burial sites, the New Federation’s worm-planting plan…
This was not just a Natural Disaster.
It was also a man-made calamity.
In order to surpass the Empire in national strength, the New Federation spared no expense in using any ans to cause the ancient Empire to collapse from the inside.
Yang Ming did not take advantage to guide public opinion.
Lyu was indeed terrified by the fluctuation on Emperor Star and was extrely cautious in her online activities; when the White Ghost website faced congestion, she preferred to pay for a work team for temporary maintenance rather than ‘act recklessly’ on the Empire’s network.
She was a chanical Thought Body that knew how to be cautious.
The ti for the TV broadcast arrived as scheduled.
Yang Ming, 026, and Little Lyu hid in the captain’s lounge on the East Wind, the two ‘humans’ drinking beverages, eating a barbecue feast, and staring at the projection screen.
Lyu lay on a single bed, wearing a short skirt and top, her hands supporting her chin, clearly a bit distracted.
The first to appear was the Empire’s Minister of Internal Affairs, who asked all citizens of the Empire for a mont of silence and solemnly announced the losses due to the insect disaster, highly praising the Empire’s three military branches.
Following him was the Empire’s highest military commander, the third most powerful figure in the Empire.
This old general lost his composure several tis, his eyes always slightly red, his quivering, aged voice full of endless rembrance for the fallen and victims, and anger at the executioners behind them.
The old general clearly expressed the ons of war.
Now the Imperial Military Departnt was prepared to fully go to war with a certain country;
The main perpetrators responsible for this insect disaster would pay a heavy price!
The last to appear on TV was a dignified and elegant middle-aged woman dressed in black gauze, continually wiping her tears, representing the Imperial family to express profound condolences and encourage the citizens to face it bravely.
Similarly, the Empire’s elder princess made a similar statent.
“If this was a Natural Disaster, and we overca it, the Empire erged victorious from this crisis, the glory of Emperor Star would continue to shine at the center of Milky Way civilization.
“But if this was a man-made disaster-induced calamity, a deliberate attack to destroy the Empire’s national strength and disrupt the Empire’s order, then the Empire would never stand by idly, Empire’s citizens would not stand by idly, Empire’s warriors would not stand by idly!
“We possess the most powerful fleet in the Milky Way Galaxy, yet we cherish this hard-won peace.
“If our leniency beca a shield for the enemy’s wanton destruction, then it was ti to cast aside this leniency and use our mighty force to protect the peace of Empire’s citizens!”
It’s going to be war!
Yang Ming excitedly pumped his fist.
The Empire was finally going to deal with the New Federation!
The elder princess changed her tone,
“In this Insect Tide Battle, the Royal family must specially comnd a hero. Everyone should be well aware of him, he is the White Ghost, Officer Hanton.
“With his own strength, he saved tens of millions, even nearly a billion victims, and he assisted the local defense fleet in defeating three evil Mother Worms, ultimately suffering serious injuries.”
The screen showed Yang Ming’s ‘sick leave photo.’
The elder princess sighed deeply,
“He is the hero of our Empire, and the Royal family will award him the Emperor Star dal.
“Hanton is currently in a deep coma; we do not know if he will wake up, but before he does, we should bring this disaster’s chief culprit to the judgnt seat on Emperor Star.
“That is the best response to this hero!”
Yang Ming:…
Damn.
He beca a propaganda tool for the Imperial family!
