Chapter 232: Vendée 6, nothing happened
“So, there is no news coming out of the entire planet?”
“Yes, we have continued to monitor Vendée 6 this week All nearby communication relay satellites and penetrating communication towers did not detect any abnormal information."
On the bridge of the Hermes, Randall sat on the captain's seat and spoke to him. said Amber on the home screen.
There is an extra pair of collar badges on the collar of his cabin suit.
According to the illustrations on the Atlas Group's internal military rank management regulations, these are a pair of collar insignias with the rank of colonel.
Since Atlas Private Military Company re-introduced the military rank system, it has also quickly produced a batch of shoulder and collar badges.
At Randall's strong request, he was promoted from the rank of 'Major' to 'Colonel' during his service in the Federal Navy.
But the price is that after receiving the epaulette and collar badge, Amber issued an emergency mission before I was happy for a long time.
He commanded the Hermes, which had completed the 'enhanced transformation for covert operations', and sneaked into the Vendée galaxy to serve as an 'observation post'.
And this is also the last mission carried out by this special mission ship transformed from a Dragoon-class destroyer under the name "Hermes".
After this mission is completed, the ship name 'Hermes' will be transferred to a light cruiser that serves as the flagship of the fleet.
As for why we have to wait until the end of this mission before transferring the ship name.
The main reason is that Hermes is not only the god in charge of business in ancient Greek mythology, but also the god of thieves.
And the "petty theft" work of the observation post naturally requires the protection of the God of Thieves.
Originally, Amber was going to directly change the name of the destroyer to something like 'Shiqian' or 'Bai Yutang', but he was worried that these Eastern thieves would not protect these 'Westerners', so he had to give up.
At this moment, Amber, who sneaked into the empire on another destroyer and entered the quantum entanglement communication range, slowly relaxed her frown after listening to Randall's report.
“There is no news, but it means something is wrong.”
“Because everything seems too normal?”
“Hmm, it’s so normal that it even makes people feel Very fake.”
Amber clicked on the report that Randall had sent simultaneously and shared it on the screen.
“The Imperial Princess arrived on Vendée VI on July 11th and gave a global speech.
Then the news on July 12th, that she gave a public speech in the planet’s capital, But these news are all text news, and even if there are pictures, they are old pictures that have nothing to do with pictures and texts.
After that, no valuable news came out.
The dignified imperial princess visited a colonial planet in the border area. There was only relevant news in the past two days
The days that followed were all ordinary daily news, and even social media didn't have any content about the 'Her Royal Highness the Princess' visit', which was very unusual.
What's more, after a fleet under Duke Artesia arrived yesterday, it directly launched a blockade on the planet."
Amber followed the timeline given in the report, step by step. Made my own analysis.
Sometimes, information does not have to be taken from other people's pockets.
"Open source intelligence" is obtained from public places. The proportion of effective information exceeds 70%.
Of course, Lilith is outside the scope.
“You mean that the calmness of the past few days is actually an act of deceiving others.”
Listening to Amber’s description, Randall gradually began to come back to his senses. .
Although he is not a professional intelligence officer, it does not mean that he cannot use his brain to think about problems.
“Yes, you also know why I asked you to serve as an ‘observation post’ in the Vendée Galaxy.
The reason is that the information I obtained from other sources said that there were split and independent voices in the Vendée galaxy.
When the imperial princess comes to visit, other forces will attack her."
"But now, there is no news at all, so it is very abnormal. "
"Correct answer~"
Amber gave Randall a thumbs up, and then switched to another page of the report.
"Look here, according to the information obtained by your close observation, the augmented fleet has dispatched a large number of transport ships to carry out delivery operations in the orbit of the planet.
As far as I know, Duke Artesia's subordinates happen to be There is a 'scavenger' force that is responsible for suppressing planetary riots."
"Good guy, you are saying that there is a big trouble on this planet."
"According to the existing information? From the intelligence inference, it’s pretty much the same.”
Amber didn’t appear to be very sure, although he actually knew the causes and consequences of the entire incident, including what happened after the ‘Laser Harvest’.
In the Rose Square in Urban, the capital of the planet, before the high-energy laser bloodbathed the 'mob'.
In fact, the jamming vehicle in the accompanying Guards, under Natalia's order, carried out wide-area jamming, blocking out the electromagnetic signals in nearly half of the city.
It was not the first day Natalia Bonaparte joined the Forbidden Army. She naturally knew what she needed to do before ‘doing big things’.
Agnes also immediately sent a request for help signal to Duke Artesia and the accompanying fleet in the orbit of the planet.
Then she walked to the front desk and directed the anti-aircraft laser to 'clean' the square. The fleet accompanying her on this trip consisted of a total of twenty-four warships of various types.
From the beginning, it has been cruising in the orbit of the planet with the attitude of 'intervening in the planet'.
Four of the orbital attack ships, after receiving signals from the ground, immediately dropped all the orbital paratroopers they carried as quickly as possible.
The delivery area is several planetary communication base stations on Vendée 6 that can communicate with the outside world.
While the orbiting paratroopers quickly took control of the base station and shut down the transmitter, Vendée 6 temporarily lost contact with the outside world.
The remaining battleships also spread almost all communication jamming terminals in the orbit of the planet.
The highly centralized dictatorship shows rare 'advantages' at this moment.
The garrison fleet of the Vendée Galaxy absolutely did not dare to stop the princess and the imperial army from doing anything.
So after receiving the order from Agnes as the 'quasi-heir', they stayed at the mooring ground honestly from beginning to end.
After completing the temporary information blockade, Agnes also obtained the appearance of the 'agitators' and 'separatists' that had been previously captured by drones and snipers. identity information.
Although it was no surprise that they were all fake identities, at least a hiding place near Urban was discovered.
During the raid by the Imperial Guards, the 'remnants' who were trapped in their hiding place were sent into the sky by multiple individual missiles before they even had time to destroy some important information.
Some information left at the scene pointed directly at Simon and Alvin, who were behind the conspiracy, who had long been suspected by Agnes.
After arresting these two people, the Princess Guards and Orbital Paratroopers led the planetary defense forces to attack everywhere.
A series of "dictatorship iron fists" such as curfew, public opinion control, reporting, and consecutive sittings were hammered hard on Vendée Six.
Next, under the temptation of high bounties, the agitators and separatists who were hiding were uncovered one by one.
After all, for ordinary civilians, the so-called 'ideal', 'freedom', and 'anti-imperialist and anti-feudal' are just slogans after all.
Only the Imperial Golden Dragon that falls into their pockets is something that can truly improve their lives.
And Agnes obviously also understands the principle of ‘slap and give a sweet date’.
When the ‘scavenger’ force under Duke Artesia appeared, as well as a group of temporarily organized ‘secret police’ forces, the planet fell into a tense situation of ‘everyone is in danger’.
A series of policies to improve people's livelihood, reduce taxes, and increase residents' income were quickly implemented after being announced
Not every resident on Vendée No. 6 wants to be independent from the bottom of his heart.
Most of them were actually persuaded by others and believed that they could live a better life after independence, so they followed others to denounce the empire.
But now, with the promulgation of new policies and actual tax reductions, their lives are much better than before.
Since you have already got the ‘thing’ you want to strive for, why do you still want to participate in activities that are life-threatening?
For most people, the two options of "risking your life in order to pay 100 yuan less in tax every year" and "doing nothing now and paying 45 yuan less in tax every year" are not necessary at all for most people.
Even if the second option appears, it is because a group of people were scanned in half under high-energy lasers
But unfortunately, for other civilians on this planet, Said that at this moment they have become 'vested interests'.
Human beings are selfish animals. In this case, no one would be stupid enough to stand up and fight for the injustice of the 'mob' in the square.
They will only try their best to keep the "concessions" they currently receive from the ruling class.
What's more, even in the Federation, which claims to be 'democracy and freedom', the Internet has no memory.
Not to mention the 'feudal, dictatorial' country of the Star Dragon Empire.
When the Rose Square was 'cleaned up' again with the help of the 'Scavenger' troops.
A huge execution platform with a gallows was erected.
Watching the former galaxy governor and planetary administrator, as well as a group of captured 'agitators', 'separatists', and 'awakened progressives', being pushed to the gallows in the morning light.
Whether they were watching the execution live in the Rose Square or watching the execution process simultaneously on TV and the Internet, they all booed at these criminals who were convicted of "treason."
“Don’t ruin our lives!”
“Long live the new policy!”
“Long live the empire!”
Then, after the people were hidden Amid the cheers led by the 'professionals' in the crowd, Agnes, who was not wearing a dress but was rarely seen wearing a military uniform, also walked to the front of the execution platform.
Looking at the excited crowd, she exuded her own 'dragon power', and at the same time, with the help of a loudspeaker, her voice resounded throughout the Rose Square.
“Today, we will execute a group of sinners who undermine the stability and prosperous life of this planet!”
“Today, we will tell those villains hiding in the shadows trying to split the empire, Under the glory of the empire, there is no place for these little ones to hide!”
“The only way out for them is death!”
“The imperial family will always stand with their people! , spare no effort to fight against these enemies who are trying to destroy the people’s good life!”
"Cheer, citizens of the empire, because you will witness all this with your own eyes!"
The atmosphere in Rose Square has reached its climax at this moment.
When ‘Hang! Hang! ' The chorus of shouts became the 'main theme' of this square.
Bathed in this strong 'public opinion', Agnes gently raised her right hand.
“Execution!”
