Chapter 347 Public Opinion Guidance
Monton and Telak never expected that the reinforced platoon they sent to the small town to search for survivors would encounter such a situation.
According to the news sent back by the forward control company, after the conflict between the leading reconnaissance team and the federal army, the platoon leader of the reinforced platoon first reported to the company headquarters, and then immediately led the troops to attack.
The company headquarters of this forward control company did not stop this move to strengthen the platoon.
After silently preparing the support units to respond to emergencies at any time, they sent a message to the headquarters of the 2nd Heavy Combined Battalion where Menton and Telak were located.
Monton and Telak didn't think there was anything wrong with the actions of their forward control company.
Isn’t this just protecting the calf?
No matter what army you are in, it is too common. It is even common to see that if an army does not have the habit of protecting its calves, then there must be something wrong with the construction of this team.
Although it doesn’t matter Whether it was the front-line reinforcement platoon or the forward control company, their approach seemed to be to kill first and then tell later, but they did not give any radical instructions, nor did they directly lead the troops to start a firefight.
And in the face of emergencies, even if you have real-time communication means, it will still waste precious time if you ask for instructions from level to level.
In addition, Amber has always emphasized the requirement that military chiefs at all levels should give full play to their "subjective initiative", which also allows Atlas's combat units to respond extremely quickly when facing emergencies.
"Telak, what do you think?"
In the battalion command post, Menton, who was originally staring at the electronic sandbox, raised his head and looked at his friend.
After hearing his inquiry, the latter stretched out four hairy fingers.
“Do four things first
First, report to superiors and tell them the current situation and our measures.
Second, emphasize the rules of firefighting with the front-line troops, remember our position, and never fire the first shot in the confrontation even if we suffer a loss.
Third, let them figure out the opponent's troop number, and then we get in touch with the opponent's command and negotiate.
Finally, contact the group's live broadcast team and tell them that we have the material here and can connect in real time."
"Tailaq, I stopped you from being transferred. It was indeed the most correct thing. decision.”

Portia Town, conflict zone on the west side.
The federal sergeant who was responsible for negotiating with Atlas, or who originally planned to use the large number of people to evacuate, never expected that every combatant of this private military company was so brave. I really plan to fight the regular army on this planet.
The three medium-sized multi-legged tanks quickly spread out to find positions to form a crossfire. They deployed their mechanical legs and lowered their bodies. At the same time, the armor shields on the front mechanical legs also rose simultaneously. And form a certain inclination angle.
About a reinforced platoon of mechanized infantry also launched an offensive formation in the direction where the reconnaissance team just appeared.
At the same time, dozens of spider-like robots that had never been seen before, also painted in white, were also loaded with various weapons and quickly climbed up the surrounding buildings and occupied the high ground.
In addition, the noncommissioned officer also received news from the company headquarters of his unit. There were also activities of white-painted HCP and main battle tanks outside the town of Portia. The other party obviously had Prepared.
However, this federal sergeant was considered tough at this time, and he still led his men to stand still. Unlike those weaklings who can only bully the weak and fear the strong, they will shrink back when the other party tries to force them.
"You fucking want to go to war with the Federation?!"
"Oh, oh, my friend, you are too flattering to us, Atlas, by saying this."
A burly Roma man walked up holding an electromagnetic machine gun that was normally used as a support weapon and speaking a somewhat unskilled human lingua franca.
It was the platoon leader of the Atlas Enhanced platoon that entered the town.
"How dare we, a small company, to start a war in a country as big as the Federation."
"Then what do you mean now?"
"We are just I hope you will not commit violence against civilians and respect the "Convention of Trares" signed by your country and the Star Dragon Empire in the year 506 of the New Calendar. According to my understanding, this convention is still valid for more than 20 years and has not expired. "I have told your men before, don't talk to me about international conventions in the war zone, they are all waste paper!"
Just like he had just faced the captain of the Totoro team, the federal sergeant heard the other party starting to talk about the "Trares Convention" again, and interrupted rudely again.
The platoon leader of the Atlas Ground Forces was not surprised when he heard what the other party said.
He waved, and an armored infantry fighting vehicle not far behind him immediately drove up behind him. At the same time, a camera-like thing installed on the side of the turret also pointed its optical lens here.
"Do you want to say it to the camera again? We are simultaneously broadcasting it to the Federation and Star Dragon Empire."

"Old John, come and watch! 'Eye of Truth' has a new live broadcast, right in the war zone!"
"Holy shit "Come on, come on!"
"Bieber, can you connect the line to the big screen to the live broadcast? Isn't it that everyone who comes to your bar is interested in you buying the 'Eye of Reality' live broadcast viewing rights?" ! ”
"Yes, your beer is notoriously bad. Do you think so many people gathered here are really here for your beer?"
"Good guy, are you executing the Imperial guy? ? Okay! Kill a few more!"
"Brother, are you a little too extreme?"
"Come and see! !”
Such scenes appeared in almost all the territories of the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire that had not yet entered the night.
Everyone picked up their personal terminals or looked at the big screen with great interest, and the comments in the live broadcast room were refreshing at an extremely fast speed.
‘True Eyes’, the first social media APP of Atlas Media, the latest subsidiary of Atlas Group.
After Atlas Group became popular due to its neutrality statement and corporate video, the ‘Eye of Truth’ quickly became the third punch in the combo.
Although the public opinion control departments of the Federation and the Empire have tried every means to reduce the popularity of this APP, and even forcibly removed the APP from mainstream software stores.
But they still couldn’t block the download link directly provided by Atlas.
As soon as the ‘Eye of Truth’ was launched, it quickly reached the top of the APP download list on almost all colonial planets on both sides.
The reason is also very simple, because the official account in this APP is called ‘Eye of Reality’, which is the only channel on the market that can go deep into the war zone for live broadcast.
And it is a live broadcast using the new 'quantum entanglement communication technology'.
If we talk about the so-called war zone live broadcasts of other media and media companies, they are interviews with soldiers who have returned from the front line in a safe camp on the periphery of the war zone, and then edited into a video.
The ‘Real Eye’, which mounts cameras directly on infantry fighting vehicles, HCPs, and drones, really, as its name suggests, reflects the true situation on the battlefield to all audiences.
As the subject of "live broadcast", this unit of the federal army immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Especially when they saw that another infantry fighting vehicle was pointing the mounted camera lens at the wall where the 'execution' was being carried out, and the lens was still zooming in and out, they knew that something was wrong.
Although their current behavior has deviated more and more from an army from a civilized country, at least the officers in the team have not yet become so stupid that they shoot civilians in front of live cameras.
After seeing a platoon of infantry and armored vehicles coming to support, the federal army non-commissioned officers immediately led them forward forcibly, trying to block Atlas' live broadcast.
Unexpectedly, the platoon leader of the enhanced platoon in front of him directly raised the electromagnetic machine gun and aimed it at his head, and at the same time said in a slightly distorted human common language:
"I advise you to calm down. Do you want the situation to become completely out of control?"
