Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 428 The First Solar System War Breaks Out
2042 7 Month 18 Day.

4:00 pm Ganymede time, 12:00 Earth Sea City time.

Jupiter TV broadcasted a live broadcast to the solar system, and Robin Farias, executive president of Starnet and acting president of Solar System Dynamics, delivered a televised speech.

He sadly announced that due to the treachery of the Earth government, the Vesta Federation Army was ordered to attack the spacecraft of the Jupiter-Saturn negotiating delegation headed by Brinton. Unfortunately, Brinton and other representatives of Jupiter and Saturn were all killed.

He then angrily stated that the people of Jupiter and Saturn will never succumb to the threat of violence from the Earth government, they will hold high the banner of freedom and democracy, and resolutely oppose the dictator of Haicheng.

In the end, Robin announced that the Jupiter-Saturn region would separate from the Solar System Human Federation, establish the Jupiter-Saturn Autonomous Government, and declare war on the Solar System Human Federation to overthrow the dictatorial Earth Federation Government.

Robin's speech was very brief, but its impact was no less than that of detonating a hydrogen bomb in human society.

After his speech, most people were overwhelmed and had no idea what was going on.

But after a while, humans with a clear mind reacted:

The Jupiter-Saturn region declared independence and declared war on the earth. Human society has entered a state of war.

The first solar system war broke out!
When Robin spoke, it was exactly two hours after Lu Yao received the urgent notice from Zhong Cheng, and as soon as Robin finished speaking, Ganymede's rebels attacked the Vesta City space port.

What did Lu Yao do during these two hours?
When he received a call from Zhong Cheng, his first reaction was to not believe it, thinking that someone was playing a prank.

After confirming that it was Zhong Cheng himself, out of trust in Zhong Cheng, he immediately acted.

But because the federal constitution stipulates that no individual can issue a first-level combat readiness order, neither can the president.

He had to convene an emergency federal security meeting to vote, and the participants arrived an hour later.

But when Lu Yao said that the Human Federation was about to face a war, half of the participants didn't believe it, and half of them were dubious, and the vote failed.

Opponents believe that doing so is too hasty and will only intensify conflicts, and things will happen if nothing happens.

Under Lu Yao's patient explanation, an hour passed.

When Robin gave a televised speech, all the senior leaders of the Federation were dumbfounded, and they actually declared war on their own initiative.

A few minutes later, news came from Vesta that the rebels had launched a surprise attack on Vesta City. Currently, there was chaos on Vesta, and the situation of the battle was unknown.

From the point of view of time, it is completely premeditated and undeclared war, and the reason for declaring war is to bite back and beat back.

Everyone was very angry, and some people were ashamed and angry, and they all expressed that they would severely punish these rebels.

The meeting quickly reached a consensus, and immediately sent the Federation's First Space Fleet stationed on Ceres to Vesta to cooperate with the Vesta Defense Force to eliminate the rebels.

And then Lu Yao gave a live speech to expose Robin's lies.

13 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day.

Through the live broadcast on the whole network, Lu Yao, President of the Human Federation of the Solar System, announced that the Jupiter-Saturn Autonomous Government is an illegal organization, and their so-called civilian armed forces are classified as rebels.

At the same time, the video of the rebels attacking the Vesta City space port was released, pointing out that the undeclared war by the rebels is an act of terrorism, a flagrant violation of the "Rome Convention", an attempt to split human society, and the will of all mankind.

He also expressed his condolences to the compatriots who died in the attack on Vesta, saying that he would never let the murderer go.

In the end, Lu Yao announced that the human federation of the solar system had entered a state of war, and immediately called up reserve soldiers, and the federal army was expanded urgently.

The public response of the federal government completely confirms that the demon of war, which has been extinct in human society for 20 years, is coming again.

This made the people who have experienced peace for a long time shocked and angry, but the shock was shocking, and most people thought that the conflict far away in the asteroid belt could not have any impact on their lives.

How to live or how to live, the reaction of the federal government is a bit excited!

According to official statistics, the number of online users of Dream World has not declined significantly.

Zhong Cheng had already returned to Beishan at this time, and he urgently held a high-level meeting of Red Star Company.

The high-level federation reacted slowly, and missed the best opportunity for defense, allowing the rebels to tear open a hole in the asteroid belt, causing the battle to become passive.

Zhong Cheng has nothing to do about this. A democratic system can brainstorm in peacetime to prevent mistakes in personal judgment from causing huge losses to the country.

But in the face of the crisis of war, it is so inefficient, like a giant whose hands and feet are bound.

So far, he has not received a formal notice to allow Red Star Company to fully transfer to military production.

The Federation is still hoping that the existing military power can solve the current crisis. Regarding the actions of Jupiter and Saturn, they just feel that their majesty has been provoked, and they have not attracted enough attention, and they have not taken the rebels seriously.

At the high-level meeting of Red Star Company, Zhong Cheng gave a speech on the development of the battle situation.

He believes that this will be a very difficult war, and it will not end in a short time.

The rebel side has the advantage of genetically modified people, while the federal side has the advantage of heavy industry manufacturing.

The industrial base of the rebels on Jupiter and Saturn is not bad, and the Federation can use the Dream World to train excellent soldiers.

Judging from the information currently available, the rebels have an advantage at the decision-making level, and Robin can mobilize all the resources of Jupiter and Saturn to start a war.

However, after seeing the true strength of the opponent, the high-level federation will quickly complete the adjustment to enter the wartime state and end the current chaotic situation.

Therefore, the first solar system war will ultimately be a competition for the economic strength of the two sides. It will be a protracted war, which can be as short as two or three years and as long as five or six years.

The time cannot be longer, because five or six years of modern warfare will wear down the economic foundations of both sides, and no one will be able to fight by then.

Zhong Cheng's analysis of the war made the top management of Red Star Company dispel the idea that this was just a local war.

Because the opponent is not vulnerable, but still has an advantage at the current stage, but the vast majority of human beings have not yet seen this clearly.

However, having competed with Solar System Dynamics and Xingwang for many years, everyone in Red Star Company is very clear about the strength of these two companies and Robin's character, and they are indeed a strong opponent.

Zhong Cheng then announced that Red Star Company would switch production in an all-round way, and make every effort to manufacture space battleships, space fighters, mechas and other weapons and equipment.

Doing so will take a lot of risk. If Zhong Cheng makes a wrong judgment, Red Star will not only suffer heavy losses, but will also face great public opinion attacks.

However, everyone still expressed unconditional support for Zhong Cheng's decision.

However, some problems cannot be avoided.

Zhou Hu raised his hand and asked, what about the renovation project of Venus and Mercury?What about the project to build the Super Hadron Collider?
Zhong Cheng hesitated, because the Fuxi project plan hadn't come out yet, so the suspension would be suspended.

But the alchemy project and the water control project have reached a critical time. Hundreds of thousands of people have invested in these two projects, and a large amount of materials and equipment are still being sent to Venus and Mercury in a steady stream.

But this damn war is coming!

After thinking for a long time, Zhong Cheng reluctantly decided to suspend these two projects.

Except for projects that really cannot be interrupted, other personnel are withdrawn to Earth or Mars and put into military production.

This is a major test for the newborn human federation. After passing this test, human society will be reborn from the ashes, and a new era will truly come!

If they fail the test, the best ending waiting for them is to escape the solar system and die in the vast sea of ​​stars.
