Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 478 Lu Yao's troubles

7 month 12 day.

The Federal High Command has formulated countermeasures against the Imperial Army's mecha units diving into the Earth's oceans.

The first is to block the news to avoid widespread panic among the people.

The second is to immediately send the only aircraft carrier Xuanyuan Qinglong on the earth to perform cruise missions in the high latitudes of the southern hemisphere, and cooperate with the regular troops of the Federal Army and the Earth Defense Force to conduct a full-coverage investigation centering on the sea area where the incident occurred.

The Federal Army stationed 10 mecha legions on Earth with about 150 million people, all newly formed legions, plus more than 300 million paramilitary troops of the Earth Defense Force. Although the combat effectiveness is not good, they are still competent for search tasks.

In the end, it was ordered to transfer about 6 million people from the 100 mech legions from Tiangong City and the moon to the ground of the earth. These 6 mech legions are old troops who have experienced battlefields.

They will be responsible for carrying out the main offensive task of destroying the enemy when searching for and discovering the main force of the Imperial Army's mech units.

Under Zhong Cheng's strong request, the federal army paid enough attention to this incident.

That is to say, during the war, otherwise mobilizing millions of troops to search the ocean for several months would not pass the approval of the parliament anyway.

Zhong Cheng's reason is that he is not worried about the hundreds of thousands of imperial mech troops. What he is worried about is that he does not understand how the imperial army wiped out the marine life in a piece of sea area, and why should these marine life disappear?
A detailed report by marine biological experts on the sea area where the accident occurred pointed out that the military's claim of the disappearance of marine life is inaccurate.

The accurate statement should be that slightly larger marine animals and plants have disappeared, and those marine plankton that are invisible to the naked eye still exist in large numbers.

This makes it impossible for the Imperial Army to use unknown regional extinction weapons. In the words of experts and scholars, these disappeared marine animals and plants seem to be swallowed by some creatures.

The federal military scoffed at the conclusions of experts and scholars. Not to mention whether there would be such perverted unknown creatures, the reason why the empire mobilized so many troops was to destroy the marine environment of the earth. It was impossible to think about it.

But Zhong Cheng didn't think so. He had to announce the ecological disaster that appeared on Venus to the high-level federation. If the bugs evolved from the mutated sulfur bacteria on Venus were left alone, they might indeed turn Venus into a Zerg world.

These bugs rely on the characteristics of eating everything, as well as their extraordinary reproductive and evolutionary abilities.

This is very similar to what's happening on Earth now, and it could very well be what's happening on Venus if humans take it lightly.

Zhong Cheng's words made the high level of the Federation finally make a decision to deal with this incident with all its strength.

……

2047 7 Month 31 Day.

Lu Yao listened to the report of his special assistant Lu Huo in the office.

For more than half a month, the Federation has mobilized a large number of people to search the oceans of the southern hemisphere, but has not found any useful findings.

However, in hundreds of sea areas in the northern hemisphere, the mysterious disappearance of sea ships occurred again, which was exactly the same as what happened in the sea areas of the southern hemisphere, and disappeared together with the marine animals and plants in the sea.

However, the reconnaissance satellites that have spread all over the earth have captured the images of mutated sea beasts.

The results of the analysis of experts and scholars are that these sea beasts are animals that have never appeared on the earth, not one type, but at least a dozen or more types, with different sizes and shapes.

The unified feature is that it has a hard shell, extremely sharp minions, and a good appetite that can swallow even steel.

However, no further judgment can be made until a sample is captured.

The Federation had to order all ships at sea to be banned from going to sea, so that the news could no longer be kept secret.

The news of the mutated monsters in the ocean caused a sensation among the people of the Federation, but there was not much panic or fear. In today's interstellar era, no matter how powerful a creature is, it is scum in front of high-tech weapons.

Lu Yao made way for Huo to organize a meeting of the Federal Supreme Command tomorrow to discuss whether to send more troops to search the oceans in the northern hemisphere.

He was exhausted physically and mentally. There was nothing in or out of the Federation that gave him peace of mind. Power also meant responsibility.

Not only did he have to worry about the war situation in each war zone, but he also had to worry about the eating, drinking and drinking of the nearly [-] billion people in the Federation, and even the emotions of the people.

Years of wars have involved most of the Federation's resources in the war. The economic system within the Federation has long since collapsed, and the Federation's currency has become waste paper. The social system is maintained by wartime planning and control.

The living standards of the people have regressed for decades, and the living supplies are extremely scarce, and the legendary system of supplying all supplies by ticket has been restored.

But fortunately, the war also temporarily stopped the disputes of various races and nationalities in various regions within the Federation. For the first time, humans on Earth supported one thing with one heart and one mind.

Lu Yao sat on the sofa tiredly, Lu Huo made him a cup of strong tea, and arranged for the servants to deliver a plate of snacks.

Lu Huo is 33 years old this year. He is shrewd, capable, resourceful, and has a strong patriotic heart. He is a very outstanding young man.

When the war first broke out, he applied to join the Union Army to fight the rebels on the front lines.

But Lu Yao didn't have Zhong Cheng's courage, he was reluctant to let his son take risks, and forcefully left Lu Huo behind.

Now it seems that he is too short-sighted, the Federation's victory over the Empire is a foregone conclusion, and the Federation after the war will definitely be dominated by the young soldiers who survived the war.

They not only have the firmness and determination after the baptism of the brutal war, but also have the love and respect of the general public of the Federation, and a large group of comrades-in-arms and subordinates who have passed the test of war and died together.

In the next few decades or even hundreds of years, the top leaders of the Federation will come from these iron-blooded soldiers. This is a general trend that no one can stop.

But by this time, it will be too late for him to send Lu Huo to the army again, and he will become the laughing stock of the Federation.

Lu Huo has no military experience during the war, and the road ahead will be very narrow.

In order to make up for this shortcoming, Lu Yao facilitated the marriage between Lu Huo and Ye Qian, and also expressed to Ye Wenxin and Yang Shuzhen his wish to let Lu Yue marry Zhong Yi, hoping to completely tie the Lu family and the Zhong family together.

Countless children of the Red Star Company joined the Federation Army under the call of Zhong Cheng, and they accounted for a large proportion of the young and middle-aged officers of the Federation Army. The future status of the Zhong family in the Federation is very important, and it is not impossible for the Zhong family to be in charge of the Federation for a long time.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao said to his son: "Your mother and younger sister will take a special plane to Beishan to meet your Auntie Ye at eight o'clock in the evening. You should also go to see Qianqian, and give your mother-in-law a greeting for me!"

Because Ye Wenhao's mother, Ye Qian's grandmother, passed away last week, the men from the Zhong family and the Ye family were basically on the battlefield, and in Beishan, a group of women were conducting the funeral.

Lu Huo opened his mouth, and finally nodded in agreement that he should go to Yu Guoyu's house.

He looked at the time, and it was already past seven o'clock. Yang Shuzhen hated people who were not punctual the most. He told his father to eat his snacks, but his father hadn't eaten for most of the day, so he was very worried.

Lu Yao sent Lu Huo away with a wave of his hand. He forced himself to eat something, thinking that he was still too selfish and not as pure as Zhong Cheng. After a war, he was too old.

When the war is over, he should really consider resigning. He has already paid too much for the glory of the family, and it's time to live the life he wants!
