Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 481
August 2047, 8, Haicheng time 1:36.

After Sima Bei received Zheng Qingwu's second call, he then received news that the entire coastal defense line had collapsed.

He decisively ordered the federal army headquarters to evacuate Haicheng immediately. He ignored Lu Yao's protest and asked Wu Tie and Zhou Tuan to take the president and leave immediately.

Wu Tie asked Sima Bei to go with him. Sima Bei replied that there were still millions of federal troops fighting in Haicheng, and the people hadn't evacuated yet. Someone had to command them. As the commander-in-chief of the federal army, this was his duty.

Under Sima Bei's stern gaze, Wu Tie, Zhou Tuan and others had no choice but to lift Lu Yao up and leave the command center.

On the tarmac in the middle of the Federal Building, everyone surrounded Lu Yao and boarded the presidential plane. Wu Tie ordered the plane to take off immediately and head for Kunlun City.

Seeing that things had come to this, Lu Yao no longer insisted on staying, but thinking of the tens of millions of federal people in Haicheng who would fall into the beast tide, he was heartbroken for a moment and sat in his seat blankly.

Haicheng time is 45:[-].

The presidential plane flew out of the Federal Building, and the sky in Haicheng was full of planes and electric speeding cars fleeing in a hurry, blocking the escape route of the huge presidential plane.

Zhou Tuan was in a hurry and ordered the fighter planes and mech fighters escorting the special plane to disperse the surrounding civilian aircraft immediately.

Lu Yao stopped loudly, saying that it was unforgivable for him to run away as the president, and it would be even more embarrassing to fight the people for the chance to escape.

The presidential special plane is rebuilt from Qingluan 520 large passenger plane, which has the function of hovering in the air and slowly advances in the crowded air passage.

At this time, the temporary command system on the special plane has been set up.

Lu Yao and others received the sad news that Zheng Qingwu, chief of staff of the Federal Army, had died and that 16 large coastal cities around the world had been invaded by sea beasts.

Haicheng time is 55:[-].

As soon as the presidential plane flew over the Huangpu River, Lu Yao heard the exclamation of the pilot. He turned his head and looked out the window. A group of monsters with wings flew at high speed behind the special plane. The target was the most conspicuous presidential plane in the sky. .

He understood instantly that they couldn't escape.

His responsibility overwhelmed the fear and grief in his heart, and his mind was more clear than usual.

The Federation has reached the most critical moment. Haicheng has fallen, and the top leaders of the Federation have been taken away by the Imperial Army. He must do something at the last moment.

Lu Yao calmed down the panic of everyone on the special plane, and ordered the staff to immediately open the video connection with the middle and high-level military and political leaders of the Federation.

One minute later, the Flying Sea Beast had engaged in a fierce battle with the Federal Army guarding the presidential plane.

Lu Yao saw the middle and high-level military and political leaders of the Federation headed by Zhong Cheng enter the video conference room.

Seeing that time was running out, he said directly: "In the name of the current president of the Solar System Human Federation, I appoint Zhong, the current commander of the Mars theater, as the highest military and political officer of the Federation to be fully responsible for all military and political affairs of the Federation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a window of the special plane was smashed from the outside, and a monster with a hideous face squeezed in from the outside.

Lu Yao knew that the last moment had come. He looked at Zhong Cheng in the video and said, "Brother, I will leave the Federation to you. You have never let me down, and you will definitely not let me down this time!"

"farewell!"

Lu Yao did not choose to close the video conference, he stood up calmly, took out his pistol, and joined the battle with the intruding monster.

Two minutes later, the presidential plane was detonated and turned into a ball of fire over Haicheng.

……

Zhong Cheng looked at the display screen without any images in front of him, his head was buzzing, and a great sadness captured his internal organs, making him unable to breathe.

He didn't expect that it would be the last time to say goodbye to Lu Yao in Haicheng two years ago.

When I met Lu Yao for the first time 30 years ago, what Lu Yao said, "Lu Yao knows horsepower, and time sees people's hearts" seemed like yesterday.

He couldn't imagine how he would feel if Zhong Yi died in battle before, but now he realized that it was a heart-piercing, heart-breaking pain.

Lu Yao is his like-minded comrade-in-arms, and also his brother.

Although the two have some differences in philosophy, the brotherhood has overwhelmed these differences.

Lu Yao said that after the war, he would travel to the stars with him, which would never be possible.

The faces of Sima Bei, Zheng Qingwu, Wu Tie, Zhou Tuan and others also appeared in Zhong Cheng's mind one by one, and their voices and smiles were vivid and vivid.

They are also his comrades-in-arms for many years. In order to win this war, everyone worked together. Now their ambitions have not been fulfilled, and they sacrificed in Haicheng at the same time.

Haicheng and so many coastal metropolises on the earth have fallen into the hands of monsters, what will the hundreds of millions of people wait for?

Thinking of this, Zhong Cheng's heart was twisted like a knife, and he wanted to cry but had no tears!

"Chief, you have to take care of yourself!"

The anxious calls of Sun Lin, Li Shaojie, Chen Yilong, Deng Jinhai, Shi Hanxing and others woke him up.

Everyone saw Zhong Cheng's unruly face, and the high-ranking members of the Mars Federation Army who participated in the emergency video conference gathered around him anxiously.

Zhong Cheng must not make any mistakes now, the future of the Federation depends on him alone.

With the Federation losing almost all its high-level officials, only his prestige and ability can take on the burden of leading the Federation.

Zhong Cheng shook his head, took the water glass that Deng Jinhai handed over, and took a deep sip.

He suppressed the grief in his heart and motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.

The lives of the people on Earth are still in danger. The sacrifices of Lu Yao and others have left the Federation in chaos. There is no time to make everyone sad, and countermeasures must be formulated as soon as possible.

Zhong Cheng forced himself to calm down, discussed with everyone, and agreed that a new federal supreme command should be established immediately, and then the supreme command would formulate a plan to deal with the attack of mutant sea beasts.

One hour later, at 8 am on August 1st, Haicheng time.

Zhong Cheng once again held a video conference with the participation of middle and high-level military and political personnel of the Federation.

More than 3000 middle and high-level federal military and political personnel from Mars, the moon, Ceres, and the inland areas of the earth entered the video conference room one after another.

Tian Wencheng, the chief executive of the Mars region, proposed that Zhong Cheng be entrusted as the highest military and political officer of the Federation in accordance with the will of the late Federation President Lu Yao, to form a new Supreme Command of the Federation, and to handle all the current military and political affairs of the Federation.

The proposal was unanimously approved by the participants.

Then Zhong Cheng made a speech. He announced that the current federal administrators of Mars, the moon, and Ceres will maintain the status quo.

The Earth has set up a special administrative region, with Zhou Hu, the former general manager of Red Star Company, as the chief executive, and Fu Huaquan, Chen Peng, Jiang Shaohua and others assisting, responsible for organizing the evacuation and resettlement of people on Earth from the coastal areas to the inland.

At the same time, a new Federal Supreme Command was established. Zhong Cheng personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Federal Army, and appointed Sun Lin and Meng Ye as deputy commanders-in-chief of the Federal Army. Deng Jinhai was the chief of staff of the Federal Army. , Ye Wenhao is the Minister and Deputy Minister of the Logistics Support Department of the Federal Army.

The Federal High Command is responsible for commanding and dispatching all federal troops.

Zhong Cheng was ordered in the face of danger, and the time was urgent. In the absence of a better candidate, he had no choice but to drive the leadership team of Red Star Company to the shelf.

He has never wanted to participate in political affairs, but under the changes of current events, he still can't help but come to this step.

Lu Yao threw him a mess, can he lead the Federation out of the crisis?
