Chapter 357 Conflict Renewed
In the future humanities courses for children of Atlas Group employees, when teachers mention the 'butterfly effect', they will tell students about a South American creature from the Blue Star period. The butterfly flapping its wings may cause a tornado in North America
At the same time, the children of these Atlas employees will be told about the suicide that occurred in the small town called Portia on Para 4. The bomb attack finally put Atlas Group officially in the spotlight, and after a series of events, it changed from a chess piece to a chess player.
Each class of students will also have a ‘study tour’ activity - to visit the town of Portia and relive the rise of Atlas into a global giant in the memorial hall.
But looking at the present, even Amber did not expect that the incident in Portia Town would become the trigger for a series of 'big changes' in the future.
He thought that if this incident develops in the end, the most he can do is bite the Federation and let them know what pain is.
But I didn’t expect that this time I would finally taste ‘regret’ and ‘disappointment’.
Unexpectedly, after the real fire was fired, the wound seemed to be unable to stop bleeding and could not be sutured, slowly tearing the Federation apart completely.
Of course, he still doesn't know that all this will happen. At this time, he is listening to the report in the intelligence analysis center.
The content of the report is concise but not simple - the Federation's offensive fleet in the Pyla system has been adjusted.
The fleet that was originally clearing out the remaining imperial troops in the system was transferred to the front line where the battle with the imperial fleet was fiercest because of its more complete organization.
What took their place in the defense change was the Thirteenth Fleet, led by Vice Admiral Guterres, which had just retreated from the front line.
They will replenish personnel, ships, and supplies in this galaxy with low combat intensity. While resting and recuperating, they will take over the tasks of friendly forces and continue to clear out the remaining fleets of the empire.
Although Amber has never met him, she is not unfamiliar with this Federation Navy Vice Admiral.
Because he was the one who used the proton annihilation bomb to destroy Robert IV when the Robert Galaxy war failed, following the instructions of the 'Cyber Tips' left by Marshal Trafalgar.
"There are obviously so many more complete fleets that can be dispatched, but this guy has been transferred here. He really thinks highly of our Atlas."
After learning the news at the intelligence exchange meeting, Amber also had a rather helpless smile on her face.
As the first and second commanders of the fleet, Cliffs and Randall, who were also dragged to this meeting, showed "first confusion and then sudden realization" after hearing Amber's words. A series of expressions.
However, it was obvious that some of the other people attending the meeting had not gotten this point, and they all looked at Amber with doubts.
“No, your intelligence department cannot just focus on the hard power of the opponent’s fleet. The experience and level of the commander are also very important.”
Seeing everyone's curious, baby-like eyes, Amber suddenly felt that Atlas's intelligence officers needed more training after work.
“Even if we look at the entire Federation Navy, this Vice Admiral is one of the rare ones who has basically fought in the entire battle from the beginning of the war to now. In terms of the combat command experience of the navy’s large-scale fleet, at this stage of humankind Everyone in the world is ranked first."
When Amber said this, everyone immediately understood what they had overlooked, and at the same time, the sense of crisis in their hearts began to rise rapidly.
Especially Cliffs and Randall, the ‘Naval Academy duo’, showed unprecedented solemn expressions at this moment.
“Boss, I really don’t have confidence this time.”
Although it is a taboo for military strategists to be timid before fighting, Cliffs felt that he still had to speak out his thoughts in this internal meeting. "Why are you panicking? Don't you often fight me at a 50-50 level during simulated battles?"
"Simulated battles can't be compared with actual combat, and I know the Boss Although you are very strong, you probably lack actual combat experience in fleet command, right?”
This is Cliffs’ art of speaking. While pointing out problems, he also doesn’t forget to praise his boss.
“I’m the one who harmed the Boss. He used to be very strong”
"Amber, weren't you a psychic agent before? Do you still want to learn this?" Isabel said.
“Forget it if you don’t believe it~”
Amber curled her lips and did not intend to continue arguing on this topic.
No matter how strong Guterres’s commanding ability is, it has become a fact that he has now led the fleet to the Pyla system.
People are already here, and there is no point in continuing to argue at this time. It is better to be prepared to face the possible battle.
"I will 'train' you more these days and teach you a few 'tricks'. If you have to fight Guterres, I will ensure that you will not be at a disadvantage."
"Boss, You are so considerate.”
——
The Federation’s move to transfer the Thirteenth Fleet to the Para system is basically a way of ‘beating’ Atlas. I hope this company Companies can be as obedient as other businesses.
On the surface of Para 4, as public opinion fermented, 'Don't be soft on the Empire' has become the highest voice.
In addition, there were two more suicide bomb attacks similar to the one in Portia Town on the planet, causing many casualties to federal soldiers.
The tolerance and sympathy among the people for the imperial people has been reduced to the lowest level.
Under such a public opinion environment, the actions of the federal ground forces have become increasingly lawless, and there have even been acts of "massacre of villages" and "massacre of towns" without reason or distinction.
And they also intend to block the actions of Atlas ground troops and prevent them from rescuing imperial civilians.
When various ground troops arrive at the scene, they often only see broken eaves and broken walls and burnt corpses on the ground.
Although Atlas is constantly exposed through the 'Eye of Truth', the Federation can always come up with some reasons to 'whitewash'.
The two sides fought fiercely back and forth in the field of public opinion, but in the end the Federation often gained the upper hand. For a while, Atlas seemed to have appeared under the offensive of public opinion like the Federation' Defeat'.
In this case, Mike Connor, director of the Center for Subversion and Opinion Guidance of the Federal Central Intelligence Agency, decided to add another fire to Atlas' fire.
< br>Soon, a new order was transmitted to the portable terminal of the psychic agent Aurora. After the latter decrypted the encrypted information through the key, he and the Hanged Man also saw the next action instructions.
"Complete a massive suicide bombing, this time allowing the attackers to attack Atlas's team directly."
