Chapter 559: Speech at the Pan-Galactic Human Civilization Conference
The record starts with the Empire's full-territory defense system, which has protected the Sherman Empire for tens of thousands of years, announcing its betrayal of humanity, and human civilization in the entire galaxy begins to face a huge threat.
Just six galaxies after the Imperial Guard Declaration was issued, the Imperial Princess Daphne gave a 'difficult' speech to the nation at the Skywrath Fortress.
At the call of Captain Gris, the content of the speech was sent by the secret forces of Skywrath Fortress to every administrative star and resource star with permanent residential areas in the empire.
In her speech, Daphne first expressed her apologies and regrets for the current situation, and announced that the Imperial Guard System had betrayed the Sherman Empire, and the royal family was trapped on the Imperial Star and unable to leave. However, all forces not controlled by the Imperial Guard System will do their best to protect the safety of every citizen in the future.
Daphne also said that although the White Ghost was the executor of the assassination of Levi's ancestors, all of this was assigned by the higher-dimensional civilization.
The reason why the Imperial Guard system betrayed the empire was partly due to dissatisfaction with the empire, and partly due to dissatisfaction and anger towards the human race.
Daphne admitted frankly:
The Imperial Guard system will launch an attack on human civilization outside the empire. The real crisis of the empire will be after the Imperial Guard system is destroyed.
And now, she will do everything she can to prevent a greater humanitarian disaster.
Eight galactic hours after the release of the Imperial Guard Declaration.
White Ghost announced that he was convening a pan-galactic joint meeting of human civilization in the name of Yang Ming, the supreme commander of the Luofeng Alliance, to discuss how to deal with the current third natural disaster crisis.
In the video released by White Ghost, he appeared for the first time as Yang Ming, wearing the classic gray and white exoskeleton mecha.
He officially announced three things in the video.
First, he killed Levi. Killing Levi liberated the Imperial Guard system. The Imperial Guard system had been dissatisfied with humans for a long time, and the disaster broke out.
He would choose to eliminate Levi in order to liberate the hundreds of billions of oppressed humans in the empire and to restore the development of human civilization in the galaxy to normal.
But he is willing to take 30% of the responsibility for the madness of the Emperor Guard system, and will complete the dimensional upgrade as soon as possible after resolving the current crisis.
'The higher dimensional world needs to hear our voice, and I will make them hear our voice in the name of human free will.'
Second, it was the Faya people who asked him to do this. He thought that the Faya civilization would have a plan to deal with the Imperial Guard system, but the Faya civilization expressed regret.
Humans can only rely on themselves now, and the Emperor Guard system's intention to destroy humanity is beyond doubt.
Third, he now needs computing power, and he needs all countries to open up their computing resources before he can try to fight against the Imperial Guard system .
If computing power suppression can be achieved, the combat effectiveness of the Levi Fleet will be greatly reduced, and the Empire's conventional military forces that have been incorporated into the Levi Fleet will hopefully be liberated.
From the moment this video was released, the Pan-Galactic Joint Conference of Human Civilization has begun. It will be broadcast live online throughout the entire process and the live broadcast interface will be open to the outside world. Those who want to attend the meeting need to undergo identity verification, and only politicians and senior generals from various countries can participate.
The initial effect of this video was not very obvious.
Because Yang Ming has already stated his requirement - computing power.
In the Age of Discovery, computing power is one of the most precious resources and is also related to the security of each political entity.
It is a relatively strict condition for all countries to open up their computing power and allocate it in a unified manner.
Therefore, the meeting failed to reach the required number of participants to officially start, and only four of the top twenty political systems appeared in the virtual hall.
The number of viewers for this live broadcast has been rising.
Yang Ming just sat in the middle of the seats below and waited quietly.
He believed that this place would soon be filled with projections of politicians from various powerful countries.
The early or late start of this meeting will determine the number of subsequent casualties.
But Yang Ming had no way to urge him.
Only real pressure can unite these politicians who are accustomed to intrigue.
And real pressure requires bloodshed.
As if Li saw the open space on Yang Ming's side, the two Levi fleet combat groups began to act in advance!
The twelfth galactic hour after the release of the Imperial Guard Declaration.
The nine combat groups set up by the Imperial Guard system set out at the same time and advanced towards the border of the empire!
Among them, there are two combat groups, with a total of 120,000 warships, which are making a jump march towards the direction of the New Federation and announced to the outside world that their marching target is the New Federation Minter City.
Sixteen galactic hours after the release of the Imperial Guard Declaration, just four galactic hours later, the two combat groups engaged in a fierce battle with the New Federation border guards.
After the New Federation border defenders held out for half the galaxy at the cost of more than 2,000 warships and millions of soldiers, Levi's large fleet broke through the defense line and marched quickly towards Minter City.
This is a star blitz.
The Imperial Guard System demonstrated its absolute dominance over the battlefield.
On the eighteenth galaxy after the release of the Imperial Guard Declaration, a scene that caused widespread panic in the human society of the Milky Way officially took place.
The three border planets of the New Federation suffered a devastating blow from the Third Calamity.
The video footage from these three planets quickly spread throughout the entire galactic network.
People standing on the surface looked up and saw the sky full of thick dark clouds with flames surging above them. Those were the light and heat released by the friction between the spacecraft's protective shield and the atmosphere.
The dark clouds were torn apart, and the warships opened indiscriminate fire on the buildings on the ground.
One after another, civilian transport ships landed on the ground, releasing silver-white waves.
The two-meter-tall standard mechanical guards sped across the earth, rushing towards the shelter, towards the last stronghold of human resistance on the surface, and then destroying all life they saw.
The third natural disaster has officially broken out!
When the barriers of shelters were torn apart by high-energy beams and explosives;
When those mechanical thinking bodies, which had almost no feelings and whose emotions were restrained, used the weapons in their hands to quickly harvest human lives that had no ability to resist at all;
When these mechanical guards obtained new energy supplies, quantity supplies, and new ship supplies on the surface, and transported the raw materials to the industrial ships and production ships that had been waiting for a long time, their strength not only did not decrease, but actually increased slightly...
In this pan-galactic joint conference of human civilization broadcast live by White Ghost, figures appeared one after another.
The top 20 political entities in the Galaxy's overall strength ranking have been connected to the meeting one after another;
More and more politicians from small and medium-sized political systems are flocking in.
When the video of the Third Scourge massacre appeared in only half of the galaxy, this joint meeting had already gathered 82% of the political entities in the galaxy.
The Speaker of the New Federation kept shouting, demanding that all political entities send reinforcements to them. The butcher knife of the Imperial Guard system had already fallen on their heads.
But most of the polity remained silent.
Yang Ming watched all this and sighed slightly in his heart.
Everyone wants to make others a 'flesh speed bump';
The farther a regime is from the Empire, the greater its geographical advantage. These regimes are trying to maintain superficial respectability and compete for new hegemony in the galaxy in the future.
War is destruction;
War is also an opportunity.
But today, Yang Ming must unite these people. Only by gathering these forces together and suppressing the empire can casualties be minimized.
There is no time.
Other battle groups could move out at any time.
Since Yang Ming has chosen to stand up and save more people, he can only stand up now with gritted teeth.
"Lil, are you ready?"
"Yes, boss."
Lu's figure appeared beside Yang Ming.
She rarely dresses herself like this - elegant evening dress, delicate makeup, long hair that looks simple but has actually been fine-tuned many times;
But today, in Yang Ming's plan, she is an extremely important part and must stand in front of the stage.
"Let's get started."
Swish!
Several lines of large characters in different languages appeared on the big screen of the virtual hall.
[The convener of this meeting, the supreme commander of the Luofeng Alliance, the owner of the mysterious fleet, the white ghost Yang Ming, is about to release a pre-war mobilization public speech. ]
And below these big words, there is a countdown of only three minutes.
Yang Ming closed his eyes and used his breathing to calm his thoughts.
Afterwards, he stood up and took off his exoskeleton, revealing the Luofeng Alliance uniform inside. He then took the military cap from the hands that stretched out beside him and put it on straight and securely.
He slowly raised his head, still with the same young face as before.
But his gaze became more determined.
…
Law of thinking space.
Molly, dressed in a military uniform, was monitoring the live stream in front of her with her arms folded.
Edwang on the side was also busy reviewing whether the politicians from various political systems who applied to attend the meeting were qualified to enter the meeting.
There are hundreds of political systems of all sizes in the entire Milky Way, which are divided into five categories: the Empire, the Freedom, the Democracy, the Neutral, and Others.
Most of the political systems that did not attend the meeting at this moment were far enough away from the Sherman Empire. They were confident that they would not be affected, and they usually stayed away from the political center of the Milky Way formed by the four major powers: the Sherman Empire, the New Federation, the United States of Freedom, and the Guel Alliance.
Each political system has its own national conditions. Due to time constraints, this meeting was not prepared and initiated through diplomatic notes, so it was extremely troublesome to determine which politicians were qualified to attend the meeting.
But with the computing power of this place, Edwang did an excellent job.
"Your Majesty, Adwan," Molly asked in a low voice, "haven't you figured out how to confess to the big boss yet?"
"this……"
Edwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't have the courage to face Ming in this form now. I seem to have become the second Levi."
“No, no, no, you are not the second Levi,” Molly blinked, “Lü is the boss’s person, not yours.”
Edwan was choked up.
"Okay... I'm actually just a little embarrassed... How about we wait until this is over?"
Molly smiled and said, "Do you want me to help you arrange it? Just let 026 deny that she has ever been to the City of Light."
"Don't cause trouble for others. Let me do it," Edwang sighed. "We have to face Ming eventually. Besides, I'm also thinking about how to serve the Luofeng Alliance in the future. I have to discuss it with Ming... Ming is on stage!"
"Oh my! The traffic here has surged. The server matrices we reserved are about to be overwhelmed! The boss is so handsome!"
Adwant touched his chin.
He actually looks pretty good.
at the same time.
At the military mobilization meeting being held by the Luofeng Alliance, Yang Ming appeared on behalf of the Luofeng Alliance, and Emilia presided over the internal affairs of the Luofeng Alliance. The two had a clear division of labor and a tacit understanding.
At this moment, Emilia suddenly raised her hand to signal the generals who were discussing tactical arrangements to pause the topic and turned on the projection screen in the conference room.
Yang Ming's figure appeared in the center of the screen.
The generals immediately stood up and saluted, then noticed that this was just a live broadcast of the joint conference.
Emilia said: "Everyone please take your seats and listen to Commander Yang Ming's speech, then you will know what we need to do next."
"yes!"
Emilia had actually been reminded by Lu that the Luofeng Alliance was not within the attack range of the Emperor Guard System;
But she could not show any joy at this moment, because most of the human political systems were now shrouded in the shadow of the third disaster.
Yang Ming's voice came clearly, echoing in this conference room, echoing on the bridge of the Dongfeng, echoing in every corner of Sakaar, and echoing in every corner of the Milky Way.
"Everyone, I am Yang Ming, the White Ghost.
"The situation is so dire that I cannot afford to be polite to you. I must get straight to the point and explain to you the only way to win.
“I am not broadcasting this conference live to increase my prestige. To be honest, I don’t need to and don’t have to spend all this time. I can improve my popularity in various ways.
"I killed Levi."
Yang Ming paused and looked around.
Most of the projections in the conference hall were of old faces, but at this moment few people could look him in the eye.
Yang Ming continued:
“I have already briefly explained the specific matters to you through the information released previously.
"The order and weapons to kill Levi came from the high-dimensional civilization that controls the Milky Way. The high-dimensional civilization meant to correct the abnormal civilization ecology of the Sherman Empire. The crazy revenge of the Imperial Guard system at this moment was something that had already been foreshadowed, but was ignored by the high-dimensional civilization.
“I can’t tell you too much about the inevitability behind this disaster, because I will soon complete my dimensional upgrade as an anti-insect warrior and go to a higher-dimensional world, and I can’t offend them too much.
"But now, I must tell you that the Imperial Guard system is indeed going to destroy most of human civilization to bury Levi."
There was a buzz of discussion below.
Yang Ming raised his right hand, which was behind his back, and pressed it down slightly, and the meeting room quickly became quiet.
“You can question the truthfulness of my words, but you can look at the miserable state of the New Federation… The reason why the New Federation was the first target of attack is because the Imperial Guard System hates the New Federation the most.
"In the next twenty-four galactic hours, the battle groups controlled by the Imperial Guard system will be deployed one after another. The tragedy that happened in the New Federation will be repeated in all political systems without distinction.
“I am not holding this meeting for the so-called dominance of human civilization in the Milky Way, so I will not establish any authority.
“That’s just some bullshit.
“I’ll just tell you what to do, what to do, how to do it, and then I’ll do it.
"Everyone, please look, this is the marching direction of the Levi Destroyer Fleet, as well as our predicted enemy jump point and battle duration. If any party wants to make corrections, they have fifteen minutes to make them, starting now."
Let’s start the discussion again below.
After the Imperial Guard system began to take action, most political systems made relevant deductions, which had many similarities with the deduction made by the law firm.
Some comments appeared on the projection screen, but these were quickly explained.
Although it was said to be fifteen minutes, in fact the entire process of revision, annotation, explanation and correction took half a galactic hour.
This is already extremely efficient.
All parties reached a consensus, and the result of this consensus was the deduction diagram that Yang Ming initially gave.
"You should have come to a conclusion by now."
After standing for half of the Milky Way, Yang Ming spoke again:
"If we do nothing and just fight on our own, at least 600 billion humans will die, more than a hundred small and medium-sized political entities will disappear, and the top 50 in the Milky Way's comprehensive strength, except for my Luofeng Alliance, will all suffer extremely serious blows.
“Yes, the Luofeng Alliance was separated out by the Emperor Guard System because they were not sure they could break through my fleet, which was the mysterious fleet that appeared in the previous Xie Luo War.
“The Imperial Guard System only wants to destroy more humans, so she chose to avoid confronting me head-on.
"In order to save time and to help you all reach a further consensus, I am revealing my biggest secret here... Anyway, I will be ascending to a higher dimension soon, so telling you all this will not have any impact on me.
"The reason why Levi rose so quickly was because he discovered an ancient relic and obtained the ancient technology provided by the ancient relic. The ancient relic was beyond your imagination, and the technological logic of this ancient relic was mechanical civilization.
"The empire's entire defense system is called Li, the ideal Li, which is Levi's companion mechanical thinking body, meaning that she must follow Levi's orders. Later, in order to complete his own dimensional upgrade, Levi imprisoned Li.
“The reason why the empire has been able to exist for tens of thousands of years is because of the existence of reason. After reason was imprisoned, it became the Imperial Guard System, which is the root cause of the third natural disaster.
“She is a god-level life form. If her core is upgraded again, she will have the possibility of leading her Third Scourge Legion to ascend to a higher dimension.
"Now I can tell you clearly that I also have a god-level life form like this.
"Why can I, the White Ghost, break through the blockade of the Empire's network and guide the public opinion of the Empire and even the entire galaxy? It's because of my comrade, my partner, my other half of my brain, my most trusted and most reliable buddy, the second mate on my ship - Law, the law of rules."
Yang Ming stretched his right hand backwards.
Lu, wearing an elegant strapless evening gown, walked behind Yang Ming, nodded slightly to the audience, and then just stared at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming said:
"My law is the most crucial force in the fight against Levi's reason.
"The reason I made my secret public was just to save lives. The reason I invited Lu to the stage was just to let you know that I don't care what you think. I have enough strength to become the second Levi.
"It's just that I have higher goals now. Levi tried his best to reach a higher dimension, and I also want to visit the higher-dimensional world.
“Next, I will announce three principles, two rules, and our next battle plan.
"You want to test my lawyer's abilities? Sure, lawyer, within one minute, send all the evidence of the participants' violations to their respective communication tools. Be careful not to send them to the wrong person."
"Yes, Master."
Lu's voice was very gentle, and the faces of the politicians attending the meeting gradually turned darker.
Yang Ming squinted his eyes and smiled, then waited for another two minutes.
The reason he set up this federation was simply to reduce the number of deaths. If he could save 100 million people, it would be great. It would be best if he could save tens of billions.
As for what means to use, what kind of infamy to bear afterwards, and to what extent these old guys will slander you;
There is nothing to mourn.
"Everyone," Yang Ming asked, "Now, can I tell you my three principles, two rules, and one plan?"
Ninety percent of the projections below nodded at the same time.
Reached an agreement.
