Chapter 574 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
It’s not that they were waiting there on purpose, but there were just too many accounts pushing this live broadcast.
Some radio and television stations in independent galaxies even urgently interrupted all normal broadcasts and inserted special programs with real-time commentary.
While the program was broadcasting the still pitch-black live footage, the host and the guest commentator began to analyze the video of the fall of the Earth frame by frame, and the intention of the Interstellar Federation to release the evidence of the Admiral's guilt at this time.
What was originally a confusing video became as popular as a supernova explosion, sweeping across the entire galaxy due to the resistance’s high-profile instigation and the abnormal and violent reaction of the Federation.
On Odyssey, the capital of Perseus, official shuttles landed one after another on the helipad of the Prime Minister's residence.
In a bedroom on the third floor of the official residence near the atrium, the light green curtains were opened a little. Jean Ryan was standing behind the window with her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, watching the ministers of state who were walking hurriedly with serious expressions downstairs.
"Jane." She rubbed the ends of her long hair unconsciously with her slender fingers and said anxiously, "All the ministers of state are here. It seems that the matter is very serious. Do you think it has something to do with Nick?"
Jane Ryan kept her hands busy, her eyes constantly scanning the light screen in front of her, comforting her sister, "Didn't Nick send a text message to report that he was safe? It's okay, and although he serves in the Third Quadrant Fleet, he has always looked down on that Admiral, so he shouldn't have anything to do with this matter."
Jean walked quickly to her sister's side, sat down close to her, and said in a low voice, "Jane, that's not what I meant. I know that Nick can't be involved in any corruption case. I mean, do you think the commander's mecha is real?"
Jane closed a post full of nonsense, and her beautiful light brown eyes showed deep worry: "Nick's text message didn't mention..."
"So I doubt it." Qin leaned close to her ear and whispered, "That's true."
Jane glanced at the closed door. Even in the Prime Minister's residence with the highest security level on the entire planet, she still felt uneasy about talking about this topic.
Because if that mecha was real, her twin brother might be involved in something that wouldn't be as simple as a Marine Admiral's corruption case.
It can even be said that if the mecha is real and the person driving it is the commander, not only her brother, but also their Ryan family, the planet Odyssey, and even the entire galaxy will be caught in an unpredictable storm.
After all, if the commander-in-chief really came back, would she still lead the rebels back to the Federation and let the parliament easily punish them for treason?
Independent galaxies and core galaxies of the Federation are easy to deal with, but people like them have long called for separation from the marginal galaxies of the Federation, so they need to make plans early!
So their father summoned all the ministers of state at this time to discuss countermeasures...
Jane stared in deep thought, and Qin beside her suddenly pushed her shoulder and shouted, "Look, Jane, look, there's a picture!"
Jian looked up when she heard the voice, and saw that the three-dimensional image that had been projected on a certain independent galaxy channel nearby, the originally dark live broadcast screen became bright and slightly shaking. Qin unmuted the sound on the light screen, and the slightly hissing voices from the live broadcast room immediately filled the entire bedroom.
"Commander."
"Commander-in-chief." A greeting sounded in high and low tones. The hosts and commentators in the studio were stunned for a moment. Jane and Qin were somewhat mentally prepared and did not become dazed like them.
But the next second, when I saw the person in front of the camera with my own eyes, all that mental preparation collapsed in an instant.
The ultra-clear three-dimensional projection showed Ai Wanxin's cold and deep eyes, and heroic figure clearly in front of everyone.
She stood in front of the holographic star map that was so high that the ceiling was invisible on the Patronus's main island, staring at the small communicator in front of her. Her calm gaze seemed to see through the three-dimensional projection and directly into everyone's heart.
"My fellow countrymen from the Interstellar Federation and all the free star regions, long time no see."
In the meeting room of the Speaker's residence on the new main planet, the cabinet members pushed their chairs away and stood up. The exquisitely carved high-backed chairs fell onto the soft velvet carpet, making a series of chaotic thumping noises.
The Chief Administrative Officer clutched the long cherry wood table with both hands and cried out, "It's the Commander-in-Chief! She's not dead!"
Clearly, the crime they gave him was treason, but now no one was willing to correct him. Matthew looked at Old Hans, who was sitting stiffly at the top, and wailed with a look of despair in his eyes: "Father——"
Old Hans heard nothing. It was as if all the blood in his body was drained away in an instant. His field of vision became a very narrow circle. He could only see Ai Wanxin's face and her thin lips opening and closing on the three-dimensional projection.
It was like a rusty nail was driving into his temple. His nerves, which were stretched to the extreme, were torn apart by a pair of invisible hands and then tangled into a ball. Only one sentence echoed in the old Hans's confused mind.
She is back...
In the projection, Ai Wanxin continued, "Earlier today, Earth time, on behalf of the Earth Alliance Government, all Earth citizens who survived the apocalypse and the demon invasion sent a video requesting help to the entire star region. I'm sure you've all seen it."
"Yes, from another time and space, hundreds of years before the establishment of the Federation, Earth, the only home of mankind in the universe, has once again fallen into a desperate crisis of destruction."
Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, but she dropped bombs one after another into the hearts of everyone who listened to the speech.
"This is a shocking conspiracy that originated from the war on a distant star several years ago, or even earlier."
"Among us, there are traitors who are in league with the extreme species supremacists, and political adventurers who hold power but use it to pursue their own and their families' futures and interests, dragging the Interstellar Federation and the innocent Earth into the abyss of despair."
"They watched the Federation's shrinking borders and its declining approval ratings. Instead of truly caring about the safety and happiness of every citizen, they came up with a wild idea to steal the home planet Earth from another time and space, using false symbolic images and false prosperity to cover up their incompetence and ambitions."
There was a dead silence in the meeting room of the Speaker's residence. None of them had expected that someone would describe the imminent achievement of finding the home planet as an unforgivable crime.
In this way, even if the Binary Fleet could seize control of the Earth, they would not be able to gain any help from it.
After years of planning, the commander-in-chief said one sentence and it was all over...
