The Floating Continent's Reaction!
Chapter 1864 The Floating Continent's Reaction!
As the waves crashed against the shore, creating layers of spray, a massive fleet from the Earth Federation Forces slowly sailed into a bay recommended by Li Xingke.
The sight of three Garuda-class carriers flying overhead, along with hundreds of warships of various types and mobile suits skimming low over the bay to quickly survey the surrounding environment, shocked the fishermen operating in their fishing boats near the bay. Without hesitation, they started their engines and quickly moved away from this fleet that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Fortunately, the Earth Federation fleet ignored the fishing boats. After confirming that the fishing boats had consciously moved away from the fleet's operating range, they let them be and only sent some speedboats to monitor the fishing boats as they left the bay.
"Officer Li. Why..."
On the bridge window of the Garuda, He Ming put down his binoculars and sighed softly.
Although I had memories of the country where Li Xingke was born, I still felt a sense of regret after actually seeing it.
"Colonel Ming."
Although Li Xingke couldn't see He Ming's expression, he understood what He Ming meant.
After the military attaché of the ambassadorial delegation arrived in Chabro, what Li Xingke saw, witnessed, and experienced was a better scene than that of the country he came from.
Whether it's the citizens who are full of energy, have a good life, and are always laughing and talking, and who never despair even when faced with crises like dimensional tremors and dimensional monsters, or the soldiers of the Earth Federation Army who know why they are fighting, all of them made Li Xingke realize how backward his homeland was.
"There's no need to feel inferior about the current state of our motherland! Li Wujun, I'm not afraid to admit it, but everything you saw in Chabro was only gradually improved after the dimensional quake disaster. Before the dimensional quake crisis, before this super-Earth was born, the Earth Federation was not what you saw in Chabro."
He Ming knew what Li Xingke wanted to say, but he made no attempt to hide the ugly side of the Earth Federation and laid it bare in front of Li Xingke.
This is a fact, and an unavoidable reality.
Even with Reibir, Tiam, and Gordon, among other top military leaders who are gradually gaining influence and a voice within the Earth Federation, it is impossible to completely change the corrupt foundation of the Earth Federation in a short period of time.
If it weren't for the existence of the Dimensional Tremor, a deadly crisis that no one could ignore and that indiscriminately targeted everyone, it probably wouldn't have been long before the Earth Federation's appallingly corrupt and decadent habits kept it languishing in the stinking sewers until its final moments.
"Colonel Ming, you are exaggerating. With the presence of Punishment and numerous elite Earth Federation troops, such a terrible thing will not happen to the Earth Federation."
Li Xingke was surprised by He Ming's frankness, but he couldn't believe that the Earth Federation he saw would come to an end.
"No one can predict the future. The current Earth Federation is only gradually accepting its fate of integration due to crises such as the Dimensional Tremor. But what if the Dimensional Tremor crisis ends?"
He Ming chuckled softly, raised his hand, and pointed out the porthole. A thousand meters below, a fishing boat was rapidly heading towards the shore. Every now and then, a few pale, thin, and ragged fishermen would walk past the deck of the boat.
"If a crisis like the Dimensional Tremor, which indiscriminately attacks everyone, hadn't occurred, what kind of future do you think the fishermen on this ship would have faced?"
Li Xingke's expression changed, and he gradually fell silent.
He seemed lost in thought, but dared not speak.
Because the eunuch was sitting in the VIP section, calmly watching them.
The eunuch Gao understood He Ming's thoughts and tried to remain silent, but that didn't mean he would ignore Li Xingke's behavior.
"Hehe. It's alright. Some things can only be understood by witnessing them firsthand."
He Ming did not force Li Xingke to express his thoughts, but gave him time to think.
He Ming was very clear about the Earth Federation Council's plans.
However, based on He Ming's observations and his memories, the situation here is not good. Even if the Earth Federation Council wanted to incorporate the floating continent into the economic cycle of the super-Earth, it would likely have to pay a considerable price to gain any benefit.
Moreover, eunuchs, as well as aristocratic families not mentioned in the original work (original content, you all know what I mean!), will become obstacles to the Earth Federation Army's various operations in the future.
"Will this land be transformed?"
Thinking of this, He Ming suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.
He hadn't even solved the problem of the BETAs all over the continent when he came up with this idea.
After three massive Garuda-class aircraft carriers circled several times over a radius of 100 kilometers centered on the bay where they were stationed, the power center of this floating continent finally reacted.
Especially after receiving news from the eunuch Gao Hai and military officer Li Xingke that a support fleet dispatched by the Earth Federation Army had arrived, the entire capital was plunged into a sea of jubilation.
"Report!! Report!!! Urgent report from the ambassadorial corps!!"
When the messenger, carrying the joint message from Gao Hai and Li Xingke, broke the tranquility of the palace with a loud shout, news of the arrival of the Earth Federation reinforcement fleet was delivered to the young emperor.
"Your Majesty (that's how it's addressed in the original work, I'm too lazy to change it, don't argue!). Eunuch Gao Hai and Military Officer Li Xingke have sent an urgent telegram: the Earth Federation Army's reinforcement fleet has arrived in our territorial waters and is currently loading and unloading supplies."
"Furthermore, Eunuch Gao Hai requests His Majesty's permission to dispatch engineering troops to assist in the construction, so that the Earth Federation's reinforcement fleet can deploy its forces as quickly as possible, launch an offensive against BETA, and reclaim the territory!!"
The communicator's voice grew increasingly impassioned, as if he had seen the only glimmer of hope in despair, and desperately wanted to use this sliver of hope to break through despair and be reborn.
"Really...really? Then..."
The young emperor's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face.
Just as the young emperor was about to express his willingness to support the Earth Federation Army, the chief eunuch standing beside him spoke first.
"Very good! On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, we express our gratitude to the Earth Federation Forces. In addition, we will send the Earth Federation Forces the appropriate supplies in accordance with the standards for receiving foreign ambassadors, as a token of our appreciation."
The chief eunuchs exchanged glances and revealed knowing smiles.
"However, due to the large-scale offensive launched by those extradimensional monsters a month ago, our front lines have suffered heavy losses and are now in urgent need of supplies and personnel to rebuild a new front to resist the new wave of attacks from those monsters."
"Therefore, we hope that Grand Eunuch Gao Hai can apologize to the Earth Federation Army on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor."
Not long after, standing on a hillside on the north side of the bay, watching trucks carrying supplies drive off the transport ship and onto the shore along the temporary pier, He Ming coldly handed the news he had just received to Kenes.
The latter took a look and his expression immediately changed.
"Captain Slag, don't you think this is a good opportunity? As the saying goes, 'He who takes a man's money is bound to do his bidding.' Since they don't have enough supplies to aid us, there's no need for us to get involved in their rotten fronts."
Upon hearing this, Kenneth nodded slightly.
"In this way, our forces can devote themselves fully to the battle to search for BETA's level 6 HIVE core nest."
"of course."
