Chapter 596 The Federation in Chaos

"According to the news we just received, President Brandon has officially ordered the army to attack civilians!"

"Civil war! The Federation Civil War breaks out today!"

"Another important planet has fallen. Has the countdown to its split begun?"

“Yesterday, negotiations between the federal government and some opposition leaders in the federal capital failed. During the negotiations, the two sides failed to reach an agreement on the terms of the ceasefire, which led to the final breakdown of the negotiations. Subsequently, Federal President Brandon issued a statement announcing that all necessary measures would be taken to restore order, including a full-scale military strike on the rebel-controlled areas.

Since the breakdown of negotiations, the federal regular army and fleet have stepped up surveillance of rebel-held areas and are preparing to launch a new offensive. The federal government calls on all citizens to remain calm, obey the law, and support government actions.”

"Some opposition leaders who were heading to the capital to attend the negotiations were attacked by extremists in the capital on their way to the aerospace port. The car carrying 22 representatives was attacked by an anti-vehicle missile, and no one on the car survived."

"Look, what is the charming moment of journalism~"

Inside the conference room of the A-Bava-Ku Asteroid Fortress, Amber looked at the news content that kept flashing on the main screen and couldn't help but make a sharp comment.

These news basically come from various federal media that have already stated their "anti-traitor" identity and stance, as well as Atlas Media and various media controlled by its subordinates.

Since Atlas Communications deliberately opened up an extremely smooth network environment for these media, these news can be said to be unimpeded in the online world within the federation, spreading wildly at an almost viral speed.

It can be said that when the federal government was facing a total collapse, Amber and Atlas did not hesitate to add a large bundle of firewood to the fire that had already started to burn under them, and then took a bunch of fans and began to fan the fire.

Now, the leaders of the "rebel forces" who use the ultra-long-range real-time communication terminals sold by the Atlas Group, the first thing they receive every morning is not the reports sent by their subordinates, but the "Overview of the Rebellion Situation in the Federation" pushed by Atlas Media.

Of course, this "List of Rebellions in the Federation" is completely open to the public. Even people in the federal government, even President Brandon, can check it at any time through their terminals.

There is absolutely no discrimination, but it is open to everyone in a fair and transparent manner.
"Boss, the Federation's regular army, mainly the navy, is currently seriously under-strength. Aside from the garrison fleet in the capital star system, all remaining warships that can still move have been deployed in counterinsurgency operations. Even so, they can only radiate to the core star system circle. Star systems in border and remote areas are currently completely out of reach."

After the news content ended, Guterres opened the star map of the federation's territory and began to explain the current status of the federation to Amber and the people attending the meeting.

"Although the federal government still controls all military planets and has a huge advantage over the various rebel forces in terms of military strength, in the absence of naval fleet cover, whether a large number of elite ground combat units can be successfully deployed to the target planet has become one of the difficulties they are difficult to overcome."

Having said that, Gutres paused, then looked up at Amber, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes.

"Boss, our chance has come"

Guterres did not need to explain in detail. All the participants, including Cleves, Randall and others who were attending the meeting in the Rubion and Pyra galaxies, and Amber herself, knew exactly what Guterres meant by the "opportunity". Although not everyone in the Atlas Group had a deep hatred for the Federation, many people did not get along with the current federal government.

Not to mention Amber, Randall, and Banninger, who escaped death from Robert IV, even some employees who joined Atlas later had many unpleasant experiences with the federal government.

In other words, when Amber asked the human resources department to recruit people, she also recruited such a group of employees in a targeted manner, in order to increase more "public opinion" in the future "rebellion".

Everyone turned their eyes to Amber, waiting for her to give the "order" that seemed a bit bold in the past.

But what finally came out of Amber's mouth was not that brief order.

"I know you are all looking forward to this day, and I know you are all eager to raise the banner of 'rebellion' and overthrow the current federal government, but now is not the time."

As soon as Amber said this, many participants - especially Randall and VanVleet - inevitably showed disappointment on their faces.

However, everyone soon calmed down, because judging from past experiences, since Amber made this decision, he must have his reasons.

"I see the disappointment on your faces, but you should know that this is not an easy decision. 'Rebellion' is not as simple as you think~"

As Amber spoke, she quickly worked on the workbench and made some simple processing on the star map presented at the meeting.

“You see, there is indeed chaos in the territory of the Federation right now. To be honest, I am very sure that the federal government is no longer able to quell the rebellion. Their downfall is only a matter of time.

But at the same time, we still don't have the ability to completely control the Federation. I know that the speed of Atlas Group's development has given you confidence, but one thing you must recognize is that if we want to control such a vast territory of the Federation, we are still far from it with our current strength!
If we stop now, we can give the federal government a final push on the brink of the cliff, but what happens after that? How can we clean up this mess? Are we going to be stuck in this quagmire like the current federal government? "

Amber's words didn't contain any profound truths, but she made it clear that Atlas' current situation might not be as good as everyone imagined.

The people attending the meeting were naturally not fools. They quickly understood the problem Amber mentioned, and also realized that they might have been dazzled by this "false victory".

On the other side, Amber continued speaking, telling everyone at the meeting another reason.

"We can't focus on the Federation right now. Believe me, there will be trouble in the Star Dragon Empire soon~"
