False Court
Chapter 994 Flattery
"Okay."
Sun Duoxiang, after hearing what Su Mo said, scratched his head, flipping through forum posts as he walked aside.
Just then, Sun Duoxiang seemed to see something, his eyes widening. He shouted in horror,
"Boss, quickly look at the pinned post!"
Su Mo was also stunned. He quickly picked up his phone and jumped to the main page. A newly uploaded video was dominating the charts.
"The Source of All Evil - The Gomotos Empire!"
Su Mo's heart skipped a beat. He quickly opened the video. In the edge of the Rhine Star Region, a special cube fortress made of red crystals floated in front of a star, absorbing energy and蓄能(xù néng - accumulating energy).
In front of the fortress was a giant radar-shaped device.
The surrounding starry sky was filled with black mecha.
And on that fortress and the densely packed guarding mecha, the Gomotos Empire's standard was prominently烙印(lào yìn - branded).
At this moment, a rather young man switched the recording screen to himself.
"Listen to me, everyone. I am a merchant ship from the Kingdom of Yanas. I am in a hidden junction area between the Rhine Star Region and the Ring of Stars Sea Star Region. This terrorist attack was carried out by the Gomotos Empire. Don't trust those dogs in the Imperial Army. They have no humanity."
......
Su Mo watched the video, his brows furrowed into a mess.
"Boss, I told you! It was those Gomotos Empire bastards who did it. This is solid proof now, right?"
Sun Duoxiang said indignantly.
"Let's watch again."
Su Mo's expression kept changing. He felt that something was not quite right.
"Aiya, what are you watching? Let's beat those sons of bitches to death!"
Sun Duoxiang said excitedly.
For some reason, Su Mo had a very bad feeling. He felt that the situation was getting out of control. If things went wrong, a full-scale war could break out.
Fighting a war in haste, let alone whether they could win or not.
Even if they were lucky enough to win, the Federation would probably be ruined.
But if they didn't fight, would the Goga Republic let it go? This was the仇(chóu - hatred) of national灭国(miè guó - annihilation).
If the Allied countries refused to participate in the war, wouldn't the生死同盟(shēng sǐ tóng méng - life and death alliance) treaty of common advance and retreat become a useless piece of paper? Then the internal structure would directly become scattered sand.
Without the Imperial Army even needing to clean them up, the Alliance would collapse first.
Just as Su Mo was racking his brains, the worst situation appeared. On the entire forum, countless Alliance citizens were angrily指责(zhǐ zé - accusing) the Gomotos Empire.
Public anger was almost uncontrollable.
All kinds of the most vicious and谩骂(màn mà - abusive) voices emerged endlessly.
On the Imperial Army's side, a large number of激进派(jī jìn pài - radicals) emerged. They loudly sang the praises of Emperor Mokajafa,狂热(kuáng rè - fanatically) clashing back.
"Long live Emperor Mokajafa, eliminate these ants!"
"Serves you right for being wiped out!"
"If you keep clamoring, we'll give you another炮(pào - shot)!"
......
Inside the Federal Government's议会厅(yì huì tīng - parliament hall).
Council Speaker Arlais and others were watching the latest video.
Everyone's expression was extremely ugly. Council Speaker Luther's face was almost铁青(tiě qīng - livid). His eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone.
It was this damn weapon that killed so many people in their country.
"Now the situation is clear. It was the Gomotos Empire who did it. Everyone, shouldn't we take action now and clean up this卑鄙无耻(bēi bǐ wú chǐ - base and shameless) savage country?"
Luther said through gritted teeth.
"Council Speaker Luther, calm down. It's not necessarily the Gomotos Empire who did it. If it was them, they wouldn't need to expose themselves with such fanfare, not even hiding themselves. They could completely hide their identity, preventing us from obtaining substantial evidence, making us投鼠忌器(tóu shǔ jì qì - hesitate to strike for fear of hitting something else). This is most likely a栽赃嫁祸(zāi zhuāng jià huò - frame-up) conspiracy. We can't be blinded. Think about what would happen if we launched a fierce attack on the Gomotos Empire now. The internal order would completely collapse, and the peace treaty would be directly torn up. And the worst part is not even this. What if those weapons really don't belong to the Gomotos Empire? Then wouldn't we be disregarding the rules of Star Ring City,率先(shuài xiān - take the lead in) violating the rules and initiating an internal war? Then we would really be finished. This matter might be a conspiracy from beginning to end."
Arlais劝说(quàn shuō - persuaded) with unusual clarity and rationality.
Mao Duo赞同(zàn tóng - agreed), saying, "Council Speaker Arlais is right. In fact, this conspiracy is not so clever, but hatred can make people lose their rationality."
"Okay, okay, then what do we do next?"
Council Elder Luther's face changed several times, but he finally forced himself to calm down and asked in a hoarse voice.
"The most urgent task now is to defend against attacks and find a way to destroy the opponent's weapons. No matter who the enemy is, prioritize destroying their weapons. This step will definitely not be wrong."
Arlais gave his advice.
Just then, Hai Yue entered the议会厅(yì huì tīng - parliament hall) with a panicked expression. She said to Council Speaker Arlais,
"Bad news, Council Speaker! The video on the Star Ring Forum has caused public anger. The situation is getting out of control. Too many people are petitioning to eliminate the Gomotos Empire, and some irrational people have already started attacking Gomotos Empire ships and personnel."
At this time, Mao Duo and others also received similar reports.
It could be said that the people below had almost all lost their minds.
The most serious situation was on Luther's side. After listening to his subordinate's report, he said,
"The situation is not good. It's about to get out of control!"
"Immediately suppress the激进(jī jìn - radical) emotions, issue an official explanation, and guide public opinion to restore everyone to rationality as much as possible. At this time, it is absolutely not allowed to get out of control."
Arlais decisively issued the order.
"Yes!"
Hai Yue replied quickly.
Luther and others did not hesitate and all followed Arlais's method.
......
Gomotos Empire.
Inside the辉煌(huī huáng - glorious) Palace on Tetra Star.
Emperor Mokajafa of the Gomotos Empire, wearing V-generation heavy殖装甲(zhí zhuāng jiǎ - symbiotic armor) and exuding a terrifying aura, sat on the throne.
At this time, the projections of the other emperors appeared on the other thrones.
"As expected of Emperor Mokajafa, I didn't expect you to have such a awesome weapon. It really taught us a lesson. This time, those Alliance countries will all be瑟瑟发抖(sè sè fā dǒu - trembling with fear), haha."
Emperor Andersim smiled and praised.
"That's right, we were originally worried about some powerful enemy coming to invade, but it turned out to be your weapon, Emperor. It was really a false alarm."
Emperor Halett said with a chuckle.
However, no matter how much they吹捧(chuī pěng - flattered), Emperor Mokajafa remained silent, his傲然(ào rán - proud) face not knowing what he was thinking.
Emperor Kogajaya of the Gray Golers Empire frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and remained silent.
However, the other emperors who were吹捧(chuī pěng - flattering) found that Emperor Mokajafa just wouldn't say anything.
Their expressions were a little unnatural, a little瘆得慌(shèn de huāng - creepy).
Although they were allies, they were also afraid that the weapon would boom on their heads.
Just then, a hurried, forceful sound of footsteps came.
Immediately afterwards, Heath walked in with a serious expression, leading a group of subordinates. He ignored the other emperors and walked straight to Emperor Mokajafa.
