Chapter 564: Ghost Uprising
“This is the official live broadcast platform of Liberty United! This is the official live broadcast platform of Liberty United!
“We can see that the battle in the virtual world has become increasingly fierce!
"This empty place where our reporter is now is part of the virtual world. This is not a carefully designed virtual game interface for players, but you can look in the direction I am shooting! Yes! There are lights flashing in the distance, that is the main battlefield! We have captured many strongholds! It is said that the battlefield has been divided into different areas, and those who have resurrected near us are all citizens from our free United States!
"The reporter was just killed by a laser cannon, and was resurrected here. He is now going back to join the battle!
"Follow our perspective, I will show you... We can see that many figures have appeared around us! Everyone has a flying backpack! Because of the equipment problems of ordinary people like us, we can't bear too much computing power, so we can only use these simple weapons, but we will not be defeated!
"Brothers, charge! Take the stronghold ahead! Victory belongs to us!
"The fate of mankind is in its own hands!"
…
"The Big and Small Tubes game channel is now providing you with professional commentary!"
"We are trying to show you a small corner of this virtual world war through 16 perspectives."
"I need to remind you, everyone, this is not a game, this is not a game! This is a war that concerns the safety of tens of billions of people! As long as we defeat the Third Calamity of the Sherman Empire in the virtual world, we can save countless people! If you follow the news, you must have known by now that more than 40 planets have been massacred! Most of them are planets in the New Federation."
"As you can see, among us ordinary people, there is a group of well-equipped warriors. They are the Ghost Troops! You should have seen many videos online chatting with them in battle. All we know is that they are soldiers from the Falling Wind Alliance, and nothing else can be asked. It can be said that they are very mysterious."
"Their equipment must be much better than that of ordinary people. What do ordinary people have now? A laser gun and a flying backpack, but everyone can be resurrected infinitely, just strong charge!"
"According to data previously released by relevant industries, there are currently approximately 1.6 trillion operational holographic devices in the pan-galactic human civilization. On economically developed planets, these devices are an indispensable form of daily entertainment."
"But when we usually play a large-scale community development game, the server will explode if a million people are online at the same time. Now, humans from all over the galaxy, from different spiral arms of the galaxy, different political systems, and different planets, are connected to this virtual world at the same time. I can only say... White Ghost is the eternal god!"
"You can see from this perspective that the beautiful lady that White Ghost previously introduced publicly is right above us."
"Yes, according to the official information we received from the White Ghost Fan Club! The real battle is actually a competition of computing power between humans and machines. We ordinary humans are connected to this virtual world and become the carriers of our abundant computing power! Therefore, the more we are, the faster we can defeat the Imperial Guard System!"
"What are you waiting for! Don't you have holographic equipment to refresh the screen in the live broadcast room? Servers have been divided into different regions now!"
"Everyone on every planet and every political system will be resurrected in the adjacent area after dying in battle! You are not fighting alone! You are fighting with the honor of your planet on your shoulders!"
"If you are a brother, go and kill the natural disaster!"
"Off the air! The director is playing this video on loop! I'm logging in to fuck him up! Director! Where's the director? You've lost your salary!"
…
"Brothers! Follow me!"
"Victory belongs to us!"
"White Ghost Fan Club! Don't embarrass our brother!"
"This is an advertisement! New house for rent in the central area of Mingte Star 1192! The 12-square-meter flat will allow you to enjoy the treatment of an emperor!"
chaos.
The entire human cyber world has fallen into great chaos.
When the war in the virtual world broke out, everyone suddenly discovered that the interstellar network delay suddenly decreased, and various interstellar network accelerators that were originally charged for running on their own, allowing people to roam freely on the interstellar network.
Allison looked at the fixed-screen monitor in his hand, a slight smile forming on the corner of his mouth.
He swiped his finger and the next live broadcast room also showed content about a virtual battle, but in a different location.
Just scroll through a dozen or so live broadcast rooms and you’ll see wars all around.
This made Allison sigh... these media people are really good at chasing hot topics.
With the support of various governments and the coordination of the god-level mechanical thinking body named "Law", the entire galaxy is now participating in this war.
Allison even wanted to go in.
Unfortunately, he couldn't. He still had to focus on his own interests and think...
"Boss! White Ghost is really... I don't know how to evaluate him. I think he is really too strong. He understands marketing in every step."
“This shouldn’t be deliberate marketing.”
Allison sighed:
"This should be beyond his plan. I have carefully studied the plan he initially formulated, and the core is actually still relying on his mechanical thinking body assistant.
“He is confident because he believes his assistant can defeat the Emperor Guard System.
"Alas, I originally thought that the only difference between him and me was luck, but now I suddenly realize that it's not about luck, but a kind of vision and pattern."
"Boss, if White Ghost hadn't found the ancient ruins, he would definitely not be as successful as you."
"No," Allison said, "These are just external factors. Never mind. This guy must be extremely wary of me. How is the preparation of Pioneer No. 5?"
"You can kill him anytime."
"Then kill it. This is our most important task at the moment."
"I'll let them do it right away!"
Allison raised his eyebrows slightly, not paying much attention to the matter.
He actually couldn't quite understand why a pioneer would hate his home planet and not think about saving it.
"Complete the mission for the Fayya people, and you can get more benefits for the mother planet later."
Allison thought so and continued to browse the live broadcast interface.
Today's Internet speed is extremely smooth. Those toll checkpoints that were previously set up artificially are now suddenly smooth and unobstructed.
…
“Chief…Chief!”
"Um?"
Inside the Governor's Mansion of a certain administrative planet.
Catherine closed the pocket projection on her palm, looked up at the two young men standing in front of her, and said calmly: "Is it time?"
"Chief, one hundred and forty-eight administrative stars are ready."
"No more waiting, let's get started now."
Catherine placed a pendant in front of her, and a simple button popped out from it.
As long as they press the button, the plan they have been preparing for many years will be fully launched.
Catherine hesitated.
Because she found that she was not very excited, but instead felt a little tired in her heart.
When your ideal is about to be achieved, will your mentality become so complicated?
She looked up and asked, "What's the current situation at the border of the empire?"
"It's very tense, but with the continuous reinforcement of ships from various countries, the Levi Fleet is showing signs of being unable to hold on."
"Those Levi fleets that broke through the siege are frantically harvesting administrative stars and have killed countless people. These machines are really crazy... Only this evil empire can bring about such a disaster!"
Catherine pondered.
She then asked, "What about the war in the virtual world?"
"Chief, we can only observe the outside world through the limited network now. We can't enter the virtual world and follow the white ghost to fight together."
"Yes, Chief. Now many brothers want to join the online war, but because they can't connect to the Internet, everyone can only keep silent."
"According to the text broadcast, it seems that we have conquered 56% of the strongholds and are about to touch the core of the Imperial Guard system."
Catherine smiled faintly: "The war we are about to fight is not important, is it?"
The two young men nodded at the same time, their eyes becoming more passionate.
Catherine seemed to understand why she had mixed feelings and why she felt a little tired. Perhaps it was because she now carried the expectations of too many people, and the future she portrayed resonated with too many people.
However, she did not make empty promises.
Abolish slavery, overthrow the monarchy, establish a free and equal country, set up an open, transparent and honest government, and let the people of the empire truly enjoy the basic human rights of the interstellar era;
This was the purpose of their uprising.
Catherine knew that no matter how perfect a political structure was, as long as the executors were human beings, it would degenerate and corrupt, and would go downhill under the erosion of time and power.
But we cannot stop pursuing light just because of possible depravity in the future .
Only when the people of the empire have felt the light and enjoyed freedom and respect can they continue to move in this direction.
The empire, an empire that has maintained its imperial system for tens of thousands of years, should come to an end.
She placed her fingers on the pendant, pressing gently.
Buzz——
Catherine heard some noise and a faint light appeared on the wall of the office where she was. Several instruments installed there started to operate at the same time.
In just two minutes, the planet's surface network was filled with the images recorded by Catherine;
In just ten minutes, these images appeared synchronously on the surface networks of more than 140 administrative stars in remote areas of the empire that had been prepared.
Catherine stood under the flag of the revolutionary army and announced that this area would soon be occupied by the revolutionary army. She announced that after they occupied it, they would form planetary autonomous committees in various places to prepare for the first regional election.
At the same time, Catherine announced that all nobles who attempted to rebel would be executed, the nobles' military forces would be eliminated, slavery would be abolished, and a fast track would be opened for slaves to join the revolutionary army.
After Catherine's declaration was issued, fighting broke out immediately among these administrative stars.
The revolutionary army, which had been prepared for a long time and had rationally allocated its combat power under the coordination of Lu, began to attack the governor's office, administrative building, and garrison base of each administrative planet.
The level of resistance from local garrisons and security forces was not fierce.
This is partly because the revolutionary army has done a lot of infiltration and propaganda work, and there are more than 10 million mechanical guards in the revolutionary army in various places, and their combat power is very amazing;
Another more important reason is the current situation facing the empire.
The empire is now in a state of panic.
The Imperial Guard system went crazy and slaughtered humans. The countries in the Milky Way quickly integrated their forces and began to counterattack the Imperial Guard system.
Objectively speaking, for the people of the empire today, the best outcome of the war that broke out outside is that the Imperial Guard system wins, sweeps across the entire galaxy, and then collapses itself.
In this way, all administrative stars of the empire can rest assured and everyone can continue to develop in the ruins.
But now, the Imperial Guard System has been blocked, and the fighting potential of the entire human population in the galaxy has exploded, far exceeding the sum of the four major powers here. White ghosts have stood up again, and hundreds of billions of humans in the galaxy have rushed into the virtual world to launch a siege on the Imperial Guard System.
The defeat of the Imperial Guard system and the victory of humanity's counterattack are almost a foregone conclusion.
What comes after the counterattack?
The most likely possibility is plunder.
Everyone could imagine that the armies of various countries would rush into the Sherman Empire, which had lost its defense capabilities, and plunder its resources, population, and wealth to make up for their losses, and the empire would inevitably be saddled with a heavy list of compensation.
They were destined to be the victims of this natural disaster.
At this time, a revolutionary army suddenly jumped out and wanted to liberate the planet on the edge of the empire so that it would no longer belong to the Sherman Empire... Anyone with a little vision would not refuse.
Catherine waited quietly in the Governor's Mansion.
Twelve minutes after she pressed the button, the first good news came;
In the next half galactic hour, good news fell in front of her like snowflakes, and she was stunned.
The revolutionary armies in various places were unstoppable. Thirty percent of the planets even had only street-level fighting, and they took over the governor's office, government buildings, garrison bases, spaceports and planetary defense fleets.
Inter-city battles occurred on 50% of the planets, but when the revolutionary army raised the flag with the White Ghost emblem, and after ideological propaganda and popularization of the current situation, the resisting armed forces chose to give up the resistance.
The Revolutionary Army also follows the strict discipline previously established by White Ghost himself:
Do not kill those who surrender, treat prisoners well, do not take even a single needle or thread from the masses, and never do anything to disturb the public.
Of course, fierce fighting broke out on some planets, but the planets where the fighting has been quelled have begun to send reinforcements to the areas where the fighting is fierce.
The entire command system of the revolutionary army is supervised by Lu throughout the process, so its efficiency is naturally not weak.
Catherine made a calculation and when the revolutionary army had taken over 85 percent of the planets, she began her next move.
She will announce to the interstellar space that these areas of the empire are officially independent, and point her spearhead at the Imperial Star Circle and Pan-Imperial Star Circle economic zones, declare a punitive war against the Sherman Empire Center, and actively seek support and help from the free camp and the democratic camp.
The Skywrath Fortress and the remaining imperial troops are stationed near the Imperial Star Circle, which should be able to withstand pressure from outside the country.
As Catherine lowered her head and worked, some absurd thoughts flashed through her mind.
Is the purpose of this uprising to rebel against the empire and oppose the monarchy, or to protect the resources and future development rights of the administrative planets on the edge of the empire?
It seems that these two goals are not in conflict.
"Catherine, only when you are wholeheartedly concerned about the people and the collective, will the people give you feedback. Sincerity is the greatest killer skill, especially in politics."
Catherine was deeply impressed by what Yang Ming said at the family dinner.
The office was quiet, and Catherine was working quickly in front of the projection screen.
The Ghost Uprising, a significant event in the history of human interstellar civilization and the major event that essentially split the original Sherman Empire, was finally arranged in this quiet office.
——Looking back on it later, Catherine also felt that it was all very peaceful, as if she had accomplished a trivial task.
at the same time.
Virtual world.
The boundless starlight was constantly twinkling, and in Yang Ming's eyes, the golden ball of light had become extremely large.
The core data area of management;
The original city of light;
He fought back!
