The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

"Those killed in bombings, drowned, burned to death... at least over 150,000, and this is just a preliminary count."

"This data will definitely continue to grow!"

"Thousands of shops were burned down, hundreds of factories were reduced to rubble, and the river was almost like boiling broth!"

"And the most troublesome thing is——"

The adjutant pursed his lips.

"The three destroyers and six frigates that had just returned to the port for repairs were all sunk!"

"Thousands of the Holy Sun Navy were also killed at sea. Three navy captains and their families were also killed..."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to explain ourselves to General Hase."

Major General Hase, the Supreme Commander of the Aquamarine Navy.

If he knew that nearly a thousand Imperial Navy soldiers under his command had been killed, he would probably be furious.

"Sunken!?" Governor-General of the Three Waters cried out in despair.

Warships were sunk and burned.

Those are two completely different things!

The former can be said to be an accident.

The latter means an enemy has appeared!

Who knows, the Imperial Navy might just take advantage of this situation!

"What happened, why..."

Without waiting for the dizzy Governor of Water, he asked about the situation

Inside his official residence, there were sounds of chaotic footsteps and the clash of guns, followed by shouting and exclamations.

Then, with the door slamming open, a group of imperial soldiers armed with live ammunition appeared in front of Governor Water III.

"You..." Governor Water Guard III had just uttered two words in astonishment when he was grabbed by the imperial soldiers.

"You traitor!!" the angry imperial soldiers roared

"You must have colluded with those non-citizens, deliberately plotting rebellion, trying to sabotage the Holy Emperor's crusade plan and kill the empire's warriors!!"

"No!!" Governor Aqualad was so frightened that his head was shaking like a rattle.

“I don’t know what happened!”

He tried desperately to explain.

But the furious Imperial Navy clearly didn't intend to listen to him.

In their eyes, the Governor is a complete sophistry!!

Aqualad is the navy's private territory and there is no army stationed there.

In this situation, they could still launch a surprise attack on the navy and sink the warships...

It's only this bunch of hateful politicians who only know how to delay the great cause of the empire!

It must be their conspiracy!!

"You must die to atone for your sins!!"

they announced.

"No!!" Governor Aquamarine burst into tears.

"Everyone needs evidence. You can't just convict people so easily—bang!!"

"Bang bang!!!" Accompanied by a few crisp gunshots, Governor Aquaman, his adjutant, and his secretary were all shot to death.

But only a few deaths are obviously not enough

Killing so many warriors of the Empire shows that there is already a fairly large rebellious group on the third planet of Mercury!

They must be uprooted

Then, these imperial soldiers rushed to other official residences.

The sound of gunfire, wailing, and screaming continued to rise and fall.

On that day, Major General Hase declared a state of emergency in Aquamarine and quickly took over key departments such as the city hall, police station, warehouses, and customs.

Of course, it's only right to give some gifts to the loyal imperial warriors along the way...

After finishing these things, he finally had time to study what exactly happened in Sarada Port.

Then, among many pieces of news, he heard a piece of extremely ridiculous news.

"Zhenyuan ship resurrected?"

“Are you kidding me?!”

Chapter 368 - The So-called Hiding

Major General Hase was very angry.

Not only was the port of Sarada burned down, but nearly a thousand naval officers and soldiers also lost their lives.

This loss was enough to make him heartbroken.

The most hateful thing is that the empire's navy officers and soldiers did not die gloriously on the battlefield, but were ambushed in their own port!!

Those damned traitors must pay the price!!

The traitor hiding in the official residence has been found and executed by him.

Now all that remains is the real culprit who committed the crime against the navy warriors!

Regardless of where those traitors gathered these desperate criminals, since they dared to provoke the invincible Imperial Navy, they would only have one option: death without a burial place!!

When the report came up from below, the major general's face turned black with anger.

"The Zhenyuan ship has been revived!?"

"Are the brains of your intelligence department all mush?!"

He roared like an angry black bear, his saliva almost spraying on the intelligence officers' faces.

According to their collection of information, on the night when Sara Port burned, more than one person claimed to have seen an ironclad ship devour a destroyer in the harbor.

Then, the shells rained down on other imperial warships and the imperial navy...

Although Shu Yichao's actions were ruthless, he only had one ironclad ship after all, and it was impossible for him to kill all the witnesses.

There are always a very few lucky ones who are located farther away and survive the gunshots and fierce fire.

But Major General Hase didn't believe it at all.

Are you guys making up stories to fool children?

Battleship resurrection?

Still the Zhenyuan?

The Zhenyuan warships are antiques that were captured and dismantled decades ago. Even if it is nonsense, at least it should make sense logically.

"General, it's true." The intelligence officer, his face covered in saliva, hurriedly handed over a stack of photos.

"We didn't believe it at first, but a plane that went to investigate the disaster captured a picture of an ironclad warship leaving..."

"Based on analysis, its shape and size are indeed very similar to the now-dismantled Zhenyuan warship."

"......" Major General Hase stared blankly at the photo handed over by the staff officer.

In the photo, outside the burning Sarada Port, an ironclad ship was sailing away among the ruins.

"How is that possible?" Major General Hase's pupils suddenly shrank.

"The attackers really have an ironclad ship?"

"General," the intelligence officer continued.

"Although it is incredible, those traitors did have an ironclad ship despite their deception."

"And used this ironclad ship to shamelessly launch a surprise attack on the Empire's warriors."

"But all the shipyards in Aquamarine are under our control." Major General Hase was puzzled.

"How could an ironclad ship appear out of nowhere?"

"If it came from somewhere else, it couldn't have passed through the Star Gate..."

"Could it be that those traitors stole control of a shipyard on Aqualad and built it themselves?"

"But there's no need to use such an outdated model as the Zhenyuan." Major General Hase felt his mind was in a mess.

"Have you found the ship?" he asked the intelligence officer.

Aquamarine is not very large.

Even if an ironclad ship wanted to run away, it couldn't get anywhere.

Once the satellite in the sky takes a picture, we will know where this thing is hiding.

It's as obvious as lice on a bald head.

An awkward smile appeared on the intelligence officer's face.

"Um, General, we didn't find..."

"The ironclad ship disappeared as soon as it left the harbor."

“It’s as if it disappeared into thin air.”

......

"Good-for-nothing!!" Major General Hase waved his hand and hit the intelligence officer in the face with the photo.

"The Empire spent so much money just to support a bunch of losers like you!?"

"Are you worthy of the Holy Emperor's grace?!"

"I'm really sorry." The intelligence officer bowed, a bead of sweat appearing on his forehead.

“What’s the point of just saying sorry!!”

Just as Major General Hase roared angrily, a woman in the conference room spoke.

"General." The person who spoke had short hair and bright eyes. She was beautiful and elegant, and also looked very capable.

"Is there a possibility that..."

She said.

"Those traitors used stealth technology on their ironclad ships."

"Hmm?" Major General Hase raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Go on."

The woman nodded slightly and continued.

"I mean optical cloaking technology."

"Although it's not cost-effective, if optical stealth technology is installed on the hull, it will be much better than ordinary stealth equipment."

"What if those traitors, after ambushing the navy's warriors, escaped under the cover of night by activating optical invisibility and then secretly hid themselves?"

"Even satellites have a hard time detecting them."

"Moreover, the so-called Zhenyuan warship may not be the Zhenyuan warship."

"Seven thousand tons of displacement, even for merchant ships, there are many ships with this tonnage."

"What Lieutenant Colonel Hase means is." The intelligence officer next to him blurted out.

"The so-called Zhenyuan warship was just a disguise to deceive people. In fact, the ironclad warship that the rebels secretly built was disguised as a merchant ship."

"Coupled with optical imaging equipment, it is indeed possible to appear and disappear without a trace."

"No wonder several of our ships in the harbor were sunk before they could even fight back."

"It's just a guess," the woman added.
