Fu Qiuyan received the announcement draft.
"All military police of Daughter Star, please note, the planet's supreme leader is Fu Qiuyan. Any act of disobedience will be considered rebellion."
"The Galactic Empire demands an immediate halt to the mutiny and the restoration of social order."
"The airspace near Daughter Star has been sealed. All space stations and airports are to close immediately. No military aircraft or warships are permitted to take off. Military aircraft and warships currently in flight must dock at designated locations according to received signals and await further orders. Thirty minutes from now, any military aircraft or warships that take off will be subject to military strikes."
"All major military bases and police forces are to immediately contact Fu Qiuyan to declare their stance. Those who persist in the mutiny after thirty minutes will face military strikes."
Fu Qiuyan called Jiang Ye. "No problem, you can send it."
Jiang Ye replied, "Okay, sending it now."
The content of the announcement immediately appeared in all military bases, military aircraft, and warships on the entire planet.
Even the officers' mobile phones received text messages, but the messages contained an additional line at the end, adding the latitude and longitude coordinates of each officer's location and their names.
The announcement immediately caused widespread panic. Its appearance carried multiple hidden meanings, such as "Your military network has been compromised," "I know your exact location and name," and "If information can reach you, weapons can also reach you."
It was practically a death sentence!
The planet's situation changed abruptly. The hesitant divisions of the Southern Army quickly made up their minds, issuing statements declaring loyalty to Fu Qiuyan and the Galactic Empire, and readiness to suppress the mutiny.
The Northern Army, which was in rebellion, also began to waver. However, this wavering did not last long, as Jiang Ye re-sent the announcement several times, like a death knell, reminding them, and successively more troops declared their loyalty to Fu Qiuyan.
Internal mutinies also erupted within some units. Senior officers were disarmed by their subordinates, and there were even exchanges of fire and mutinies by guards. The mutinous officers wanted to go all out, fearing they would be taken to a military court if the mutiny failed. The ordinary soldiers, on the other hand, feared military strikes from the Galactic Empire, thus forcing their officers to declare loyalty. Within just thirty minutes, various factions engaged in fierce struggles, and many lives were lost rapidly due to the announcement.
Thirty minutes later, over two hundred military aircraft and three warships were still patrolling the skies.
Jiang Ye ordered them to open fire.
The fleet used laser weapons. After locking onto the targets, a slight laser strike could disable critical components.
In just thirty seconds, all laser strikes were completed, and all targets were hit.
A few minutes later, related news began to appear online.
"A fighter jet crashed into my cornfield and caught fire!"
"Did anyone see strange lights in the sky? Like straight lightning, it disappeared with a 'snap'! Was it some kind of weapon?"
"On the outskirts of Bailing City, in the sculpture park, a fighter jet crashed and exploded. The pilot parachuted out."
"A warship crashed and exploded in Aimei City. Some warship parts splashed into residential areas, causing a large fire. Fire trucks are rushing to the scene!"
"Praying for the planet's safety!"
"A small lake in my hometown was instantly vaporized. It seemed like a laser weapon. At one o'clock in the morning local time, the curtains in every house in the village were penetrated by blinding bright light. Many chickens died of fright, and dogs in the yard were blinded by the light! Half of the snow in the village melted!"
Jiang Ye's fleet scanned again. The number of military aircraft and warships currently in the air was zero. Some civilian aircraft were also queuing up to land at various airports, and the sky became quiet.
The protesters on Qiushan Mountain suddenly stopped and began to descend the mountain one after another.
The situation, which had been chaotic all day, reversed instantly, almost unbelievably. No rebel forces chose to fight to the death, likely because they all felt that the tide had turned and their defeat was inevitable. The tense situation eased within minutes, and everyone could feel a vast, indescribable atmosphere enveloping the entire planet.
Jiang Ye let out a long sigh and spoke to Fu Qiuyan on the phone.
"The mutiny should be suppressed. I'll have the rapid response forces land now to cooperate with your troops and apprehend the ringleaders of the mutiny. You select new officers for the rebel units and stabilize the order."
Fu Qiuyan also breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, who will be commanding the troops you're sending? I need to coordinate."
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. For now, I'll place them under your command. I'll have someone give you their communication methods. You handle things and get them completely settled. I'll step back for now. We'll meet again when the situation stabilizes," Jiang Ye said. "If there are any problems during this period, we'll stay in touch."
"Alright, thank you. I didn't expect things to be resolved so quickly."
"There's no need for thanks between us."
The call ended.
…
Fu Qiuyan began to get busy, while Jiang Ye was temporarily at leisure.
For the entire afternoon, Jiang Ye sat quietly in his office, with two holographic projection screens in front of him.
On the left screen was the situation on Spiral Star.
The intelligent bacteria were still evolving various species and simultaneously reporting on the changes on the entire planet. Seaweed and moss had spread to cover half of the planet's surface at an astonishing speed. The oxygen content in the air was fluctuating, but it had not yet risen significantly, as much of the produced oxygen was being absorbed by minerals.
The intelligent bacteria were also designing electronic organisms, with several initial drafts already created but undergoing constant revisions and not yet finalized.
In summary, the left screen displayed vibrant news, depicting a scene of nature's revival.
The right screen showed news from Daughter Star, including official news and private messages sent to Jiang Ye by Fu Qiuyan and her subordinates. Most of the information was brutal and bloody.
For example, a division commander committed suicide out of fear of punishment, using a focused energy pistol to shoot himself under the chin, splattering blood onto the ceiling.
Or a unit mutinied, with soldiers and officers fighting within a military base, resulting in dozens of deaths from rocket explosions, with bodies needing to be scraped off the walls with small spoons.
There were also rebels attempting to escape in aerospace fighters, only to be hit by lasers descending from the sky moments after leaving the runway, melting the titanium alloy parts in the cockpit.
It looked chaotic, and Jiang Ye sighed as he watched, but there was nothing he could do. Historically, mutinies always ended in bloodshed. This was something only Fu Qiuyan could handle, and Jiang Ye couldn't interfere.
By dinnertime, Su Yueming pushed in a meal cart.
Ju Lanlan also entered, dressed in a black formal suit, with a small golden insignia on her chest, the symbol of the planet's stock exchange. A few hours earlier, she had suddenly received a message from Jiang Ye asking her to come as soon as possible. She immediately dropped her work, rushed to the space station, and boarded a spaceship, finally arriving by dinnertime.
"Sit, let's talk while we eat," Jiang Ye said.
Ju Lanlan nodded, sat opposite the desk, and accepted the chopsticks and spoon handed to her by Su Yueming.
"Do you know why I asked you to come?" Jiang Ye stared at her.
"No," Ju Lanlan shook her head. "It's almost the end of the month. Am I supposed to report on the planet's trading market situation?"
