Chapter 517 Escalation of Situation on Corfu Star

Defoliants, also known as defoliants, are chemical agents that can cause plant leaves to wither and die.

Of course, Cavin likes this kind of weapon used by the rice army to deal with guerrillas.

Even if the opponent is his compatriot, Calvin will not be soft when dealing with it.

Sprinkle the defoliant on the grain-producing areas on Corfu, and as time goes by, hundreds of millions of troops will face a food shortage.

And this is not only a problem that the army will face, the 20 billion people on Corfu will also face such problems.

If there is a slight change, Corfu will turn into an extremely chaotic situation.

Therefore, Calvin was not in a hurry to act, but waited until something happened on Corfu before proceeding to the next step.

Under the cover of the aircraft carrier formation, Tata's landing force has opened up a landing area on the planet, and has established solid fortifications around it, welcoming the continuous arrival of follow-up landing forces.

Calvin did not order the troops to launch an attack, which surprised Chen somewhat.

The water mist sprayed by Tata's aircraft over the grain-producing areas soon had an effect. As time went by, the crops that had not yet been harvested began to wither rapidly.

Chen has already realized the seriousness of the matter. It has only been a few days since the one-month looting. If the situation continues like this, there will be a shortage of food in Corfu.

Fortunately, the things sprayed by the Tata fleet seem to have no harm to the human body, and Kavin has no intention of attacking. Chen decided to work harder and took the risk of increasing the number of captured troops to 4000 million, which greatly weakened the strength of the Corfu star. defense force.

The one-month rush to harvest was forced by Chen to half a month to complete the work. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the bad news came.

Many of the crops that were harvested by the rush had problems. Although it was not known whether it would be harmful to the human body, and there was no fixed number below, the news had to be reported.

Corfu has a population of 20 billion. Today's food plus those with problems is enough to feed the military and civilians of the entire planet for half a year at most.

If the problematic food is not counted, I am afraid that the food of the entire Corfu star will not last until October of the earth's calendar.

And the next bumper harvest will be about 5 months later. If we can persist until then, it will be fine, and a new batch of grain will be ushered in.But what Chen didn't know was that due to the defoliant, there would be no grain harvest after 5 months.

If you can't persist until five months later, you will be in big trouble.

And this is during the war, unpredictable changes may occur at any time.

Now it seems that the right to control the sky has been taken away by Tata again, and if you want to transfer food from other places to support Corfu, I am afraid it will not be possible.

In order to avoid fighting with the alliance fleet, the empire's fleet has been broken into parts and entered the alliance's rear to harass. Although the results were not great, it was obvious that it had a considerable impact on the countries of the earth alliance.

And now the empire has given up the right to control the sky, and is constantly strengthening the defense forces on the ground.

Under such circumstances, it becomes a difficult problem to get support from other places.

Just as Chen was thinking about how to deal with the shortage of food on Corfu, but the people below did not know what was going on, rumors about the lack of food on Corfu spread in cities all over the planet.

Even if you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, it is impossible for everyone to be hungry, so let's work with love.

Coupled with the rationing system of the empire, it made everyone feel dissatisfied.

All of this was going on quietly under the control of the Huaxia intelligence department. The people began to protest and took to the streets holding signs. The military and police from various cities stood up in full armor and began to obstruct these protesters.

Various administrative officials also followed suit to refute the rumors, and took to the streets to speak out among the masses to appease the emotions of the masses.

But after all, there is a pair of invisible hands behind to push the progress of the whole matter, just like the similar situations that have appeared in various periods of the earth, those hands began to push the event to a higher level step by step.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out in the crowd, and a government official fell into a pool of blood in an instant.

The military police pulled the trigger reflexively and shot towards the crowd.

The situation began to escalate in the first step, and the people and the empire began to confront each other. Countless protesters fled crying and fleeing. Countless protesters fell to the ground under the ruthless harvest of guns, and blood began to gradually stain the streets. .

After getting the news, Chen punched the table heavily, and angrily said: "What's going on, why did you shoot?! Hmm!?"

The officials who were questioned had no choice but to report the situation at that time to the chief executive here. After hearing this, Chen squinted his eyes and noticed something strange in it.

After the mobilization of the food on Corfu, there was a slight problem because of the rationing system. However, the impact of the spraying by Tata on the food spread to the ears of the people. Obviously, there is a problem behind it.

Chen knew that it wasn't the fault of Tata, it must be the fault of the Huaxia people.

Naturally, Tata can't play this hand. While Huaxia is behind the scenes, the intelligence personnel somewhat lamented that Kawen used the dead leaf agent. After all, from the perspective of the earth, this is an extremely inhumane way.

This is not just a short-term effect, the defoliant is enough to destroy the natural ecological balance, not to mention the amount of spraying by Tata.

However, the internal fighting of the Noahs seems to have no direct relationship with the people on Earth, and what was destroyed was their own homeland.

Moreover, the production of defoliants has also made a lot of money for sellers in China. This is a new market.

The confrontation on Corfu has already arisen, and Huaxia's intelligence personnel began to follow the steps enough to promote the escalation of the whole situation.

Leaders began to be elected, led the angry crowd, took crude weapons, and began to rob the granary.

In a not-so-sophisticated plan, the guards of the granary were killed, the granary fell, and the rebels grabbed a large amount of grain and returned with victory.

However, food belongs to the empire, and under the rationing system, all citizens of the empire need to accept the empire's food rationing arrangements unconditionally.

By doing this, this group of people seemed to violate the imperial prohibition.

And shooting and killing imperial police officers is even more sinful.

The arrest team is ready to start arresting those who rob food.

And Huaxia's intelligence personnel also quietly transported various weapons to the hands of these rebels through various channels.

A gun battle broke out between the rebels and the apprehension team, causing casualties on both sides, and the situation escalated further, reaching an irreversible point.

For these rebels, Chen was even more shocked and angry. He never thought that these people of the empire would rise up at this time, unwilling to contribute, endure short-term suffering, and obey the arrangement of the empire.

After all, for people under the monarchy system, the benevolence of the past has been swept away at this moment.

Since you want to uncover the coffin, it depends on where you let the coffin be built.

Following Chen's order, a large number of troops began to enter the city to cooperate with the military and police to wipe out the rebels on Corfu, and the situation on Corfu was completely disrupted.

Naturally, Calvin didn't know that there was Huaxia behind this, but exclaimed that the effect of the leaf dead agent was too fast.

Seeing the large-scale turmoil on Corfu, Calvin strongly suppressed his urge to take this opportunity to take down Corfu.

Looking at the number of his pitiful army, he took several holograms to the Tata Kingdom, telling about the civil strife in Corfu, unable to estimate the landing force, and urging the country to dispatch more troops into Corfu in order to launch an offensive. Take this planet.

Naturally, Huaxia would not use such inhuman things as defoliants.

On the Noah star side, the First Fleet jumped out of the transition channel and wiped out all the imperial battleships in the Noah star area without any effort.

The army was under pressure, and the First Fleet began to launch a triple attack on the home planet of the Noah Empire in industry, agriculture, and economy.
