Chapter 42: Shining

Just a few days after January 1st, the atmosphere of the New Year has disappeared without a trace.

For the people of Fei League, the New Year in 2064 has no festive atmosphere.

Although the heads of governments of the Filipino League still delivered New Year's speeches as usual, patting their chests and pledging their swearing promises that the government and the army would do all their efforts to win the war. However, the severe situation in the major war zones did not change anything because of the president's red and swollen chest.

More and more names on the Death Billboard, more and more unemployed people, less and less food, and increasingly outrageous necessities of daily life, make this New Year even more deserted and desolate than usual.

The starry sky has lost its brilliance of peacetime. In war, this monster fed by humans with blood is raging on the entire human interstellar map.

The Zifei League and more than a dozen major member states of the Western Conference declared war on each other, bringing the prelude to the war. In just two years, nearly a hundred countries declared war on each other.

Countless giant steel ships used their armored cannons to break into the space jumping point, and overwhelmed the planet's atmosphere. Beautiful planets became riddled with holes, and bustling cities became ruins.

The people in the war zone watched their homes turn into ruins and watch their relatives die in the overwhelming fire. The pain was numbness. Facing the camera lens, their eyes were empty and they didn't even feel despair.

The people who were not in the war zone were watching all this in front of the TV, silent, and a heart was so heavy that it seemed impossible to beat.

They don’t know when their homes will fall, nor do they know whether the scene they see now will be a scene that will happen in their lives in the future. The dark clouds of war are approaching so dark.

No one cares about the New Year.

January 1 is the beginning of the new year. In the era of peace, this day is the reason for everyone to be happy. Now, this day that should have been full of laughter is sad because of the death notices and the fallen cities.

Faced with the aggressive Siberian Joseon and the invaders who invaded their homes, the people of the Fei League needed only one thing.

victory!

A real victory!

This victory is not the kind of victory of a small battle in a certain place announced by the news host with a forced smile, nor is it the so-called "victory" in which the troops were retreating step by step, and the "main" forces of a group of less than 1,000 troops defeated the enemy platoon and company and successfully advanced.

What everyone needs is a victory that allows everyone to clear the haze of war and see the dawn. A victory that allows them to feel depressed and cheer with a proud and cheerful moment!

That's their holiday!

The desire for victory is too urgent for the people of the Fei League today. The more hatred and angry the bastards who started the war in Sijo, the stronger their desire for victory!

They prayed every day, praying that their warriors would become stronger, praying that their troops would attack the lands of the major empires of the West Joseon, destroy the enemy's cities, occupy the enemy's palaces, and impose hundreds and thousands of times of pain on the enemy.

This wish is like an undercurrent, surging among the crowd. All governments of the Fei League countries can clearly feel the huge power contained in this undercurrent.

They knew that in the hearts of those people who were hungry, suppressed their grief, and worked overtime to build mecha warships, there was a volcano that was about to erupt. If the situation worsened, the volcano would erupt sooner or later.

By then, the anger of the people was far more terrifying than the fiery red magma, and it could destroy everything.

The one who can best prove this power is Li Fo who is at the peak of his life at this moment.

Now he is the hero in the minds of the people, the first successor to the war god Hastings, and the idol in the hearts of all passionate young people. All of this is the victory of the Catalonian galaxy.

Although a long time has passed, the impact of that victory is so huge that its shock wave has not subsided until now.

In the current Feiyang Army combat sequence, all troops under Li Fo have priority supply rights, and are absolutely special-level main forces. Their officers are given priority training and promotion. Soldiers receive better treatment, the troops are equipped with more advanced mechas, and have stronger support.

Any restrictions on these troops and any opposition to Li Fo will be severely criticized by public opinion and lawmakers.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as asking for help.

There are even many people who hope that Li Fo can replace Hastings, who does nothing, become the actual leader of the Filipino Allied forces, and lead the Filipino Allied forces to launch a frenzy counterattack.

The power of the people can imagine that a victory can make Li Fo rise to such a height.

Water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. The higher the reputation of Li Fo, the greater the pressure for the military and political leaders of various countries. Faced with such a severe situation and the rolling undercurrents among the people, they dreamed of winning to appease the people's emotions and cheer up their spirits.

However, victory does not mean that there is something. The top leaders who have the information know this, and the ordinary people below also know this.

The countries of the Fei Alliance are still paying back the debts they have not prepared before the war.

Their military training is not as good as the Western Union, and the number of troops and ships is not as good as the Western Union. If it weren't for the Iron Triangle of the Feiyang Republic, the Ryan Republic and the Chakner Republic, they would have probably fallen apart after all the democratic countries under the Feiang Alliance.

And these three countries are the three most critical war zones in this war.

The war between Feiyan and the Binard Empire is the top priority. The ownership of the Carlston Galaxy directly determines the outcome of the war.

At present, the Feiyang army has lost most of the strategic points of the Carlston Galaxy, and the main fleet retreated to the border. Not to mention winning a big victory, it would be thankful that it could last for several months and prevent the aggressive Binard Empire from burning the war to their homeland.

Secondly, it is the Lane Republic War Zone. Contrary to the disappointing situation of the Carlston Galaxy, this war zone is the hope of all the people of the Filipino League.

The people who worship Lifo believe that one day, Lifo will lead his army to capture the Naga Federation and attack the land of the Binalt Empire from another direction. The Feiyang army led by Hastings could not defend the Carlston Galaxy, so he relied on his efforts to turn the tide.

Finally, it is the Southwest Star Domain strangled by the Chuckner Republic and the Western Octavian empires.

The war broke out from this star domain and quickly spread to the entire interstellar territory of human beings. In order to obtain the central channel of Lere, the West Joseon spared no effort.

From the Gacharin Empire at the beginning to the later Desik Empire, the Jaipen Empire and the Seus Empire, several major member states of the West Jose took turns to fight.

The small Lere Federation was able to defeat Gacharin with the power of a country, and defeat Desik in a bad state and severely damaged the two countries of Suss and Jepen, which was beyond the expectations of most people. Unfortunately, the Lere Central Channel was finally opened by the Sieves.

With the change of the federal position of Salega and the Binard Empire fleet joining the southwest war situation through the Lere Central Channel, the situation in the Chuckner Republic is really not optimistic.

Now, the Siego Army is under the command of the famous general Mikami Yuren of Jepeng to attack the Reske Galaxy. Once the Reske Galaxy is lost, the portals of several major galaxies of Chuckner will be completely opened.

The West Joseon, which has established a firm foothold in the Southwest Star Domain, can quickly sweep the entire Chuckner, and while turning the entire Southeast Star Domain into the back garden they have sought, it will form a front-and-back attack with the Carlston Galaxy, one east and one west, against the Feiyang Republic and the Ryan Republic.

Therefore, in a strategic sense, the Southeast Star Domain at this stage is more important than Carlston and Ryan War Zone.

Over the past period of time, the war situation in the Southeast Star Domain has been surging. Both sides of the war will come out after the show, and each of them will take a strange move and fight for unprecedented tragic battles, allowing all countries in the Fei League, from the presidents to ordinary people, to pay strong attention to this war zone.

Chakner, who had just changed his war strategy and devoted himself to his full strength, with his current military strength, can withstand the full-strength attacks of several empires?

Hastings is in charge of Chuckner, what exactly do you want to do?

Will his wisdom suddenly shine at a certain time, giving great surprises to all the fans who still repay him with expectations and trust?

What kind of troops are there for the bandit army that arrived in Chuckner? Why did they shine on Canglang Star with ten mecha war gods on one side, but on the other side fight against their allies in Hanjing, causing chaos?

All of this is a topic of discussion among the people of various countries in the Fei League every day.

Some people are worried, some are full of expectations, and some are gloating and watching coldly.

"I request that the Parliament immediately put pressure on the Supreme Command of the coalition forces to remove the post of the First Commander of the Hastings coalition!"

In the huge oval conference hall, a MP from the Republic of Feiyan made a generous speech, pointing his finger at Hastings.

"Since the outbreak of the war, Marshal Hastings' physical condition and the current severe situation of the coalition forces have shown that he is not suitable to take on the position of military commander of the coalition forces...

Now, the situation in the Carlston Galaxy is continuing to deteriorate, and the Chuckner Republic is also facing the biggest crisis since their founding. If we continue to take measures, the Siego Army will directly attack the mainland of the Feiyang Republic! I think everyone should understand what this means to the entire Feiyang Alliance, right?"

The final ending tone of the MP dragged very long. After looking around the audience, he sat down.

The conference hall was silent. Democratic parliamentarians from all over the world looked at each other and suddenly felt a commotion. The whispers were like a spaceship that activated the reaction engine, or like a group of disturbed bees, gradually amplifying.

Some congressmen looked around in surprise. They found that there was a strange atmosphere in the conference hall.

Fire directly at Hastings, something that has never happened in the United Parliament in nearly thirty years.

In a sense, Hastings is the nemesis of the United Parliament. Over the past thirty years, the United Parliament has changed its members one after another, but no one dares to challenge him head-on. It is his existence that has prevented the United Parliament from fully controlling the military system of the Filipino League.

At the beginning of the war, Hastings' strength and the mistakes made by the United Parliament themselves made the members present shut up from then on, and did not dare to express any opinions on the only countries' military budget and military expansion that they could influence.

In this era of war, it is really a cruel thing for these members to be unable to control the army and lose the power to influence the army.

In the two years since the war began, the Filipino Union Parliament has been more like a symbolic organization. Issues such as trade quotas, currency issuance, and environmental protection are simply a game for a group of idle children in the raging war.

The trend of opposing Hastings has been brewing for a long time.

As time goes by, these MPs have naturally forgotten how they opposed the war preparations.

At that time, they opposed the arms procurement budget proposed by the Filipino Alliance countries with righteousness and righteousness, opposed the expansion of troops, opposed the coalition forces to accelerate the process of military integration, and all measures to prepare for the future of war, and attacked them as a waste of money and money.

They sat in their seats of parliament and voted against each other with laughter until the West Jordan invaded.

This serious mistake made them taste the bitter fruit and lose their rights.

However, that's only temporary.

For these members of parliament who consciously represent public opinion, putting everything under democratic supervision is the most basic principle of a democratic country and the magic weapon for their survival.

Among them, not many people had enough military vision, and not many could understand the current situation of the war, but this did not affect their uproar in their own field.

They will not go to the front line to command operations, they have enough self-knowledge.

Going to the front line or commanding the army will only make them lose their precious lives or be ruined. That is what military generals do, and the only thing they need is rights. It is the right to make those unobedient generals be careful to apologize to themselves in order to win the military resources of the alliance!

To obtain this right, Hastings must be kicked away.

Although he had been planning this way, no one dared to challenge the old man in a wheelchair.

Until now!

The MPs carefully observed their companions beside them. Some were very angry, but they were only a very small number of people. More people sat quietly in their positions without expression. Their unanimous expressions were like a letter without words, which actually expressed many meanings.

The spokesman Feiyang is one of the spokespersons of Li Fo and a huge interest group.

Obviously, this was a premeditated action.

Some lawmakers remembered the words of a political tycoon at a banquet before.

"Fei Meng is a giant ship that never sinks," the boss stood on his crutch, and his face full of age spots was a hint of mockery and contempt, "No matter who is at the helm, it will be the same."

Then, he made a very vivid metaphor: "Have you seen a python? No matter how big a python is, it cannot swallow an elephant. Even if it is to swallow it, it will take a long time. I think I can't see Siyo swallowing us. You may not have that long lifespan."

The boss's words attracted a burst of laughter from the elegant congressmen holding wine glasses.
