The Star Ring City was actually attacked, and it was a devastating blow that could not be repaired.

If you watch this scene from a distance, you will see it more clearly.

The Star Ring City suspended in the air was now crumbling downwards inch by inch, and the houses on both sides had even begun to show obvious misalignment.

This is the horror of quantum strangulation. Although the Star Ring City was not directly split into two as in the quantum projection, the main structure also suffered almost irreversible damage.

This city located in the outer orbit of the star ring will collapse violently in an instant if the main structure can no longer support itself, causing tens of thousands of casualties.

In the Earth Age, people knew that once the foundation of a house was destroyed, the entire house would be in danger of collapse. This is still the case now.

Even though human technology has developed to this point, it has not yet been able to ignore the existence of gravity. The so-called anti-gravity or suspension is nothing more than using some means to offset the influence of gravity.

The biggest hidden danger of this design is that once it loses balance, it will be catastrophic.

"Is Luo Congmin crazy? There are many civilians in Xinghuan City. If she does this, I'm afraid she will never be able to clear her name in her lifetime."

Bi Yunfeng was watching the live news broadcast on the projector, and his hands, which were soldering chips, almost shook.

Cao Bin on the side also frowned slightly.

"Although Luo Congmin had political skills in the past, she was much softer than Lin Xuan or Wade. Even in terms of courage in certain matters, she was slightly inferior to her father Luo Ji."

"This time, there must be something wrong. Unless the conflict between Ai AA and the Earth Alliance has really reached the point where fire and water cannot coexist, given her personality, she shouldn't have done such a drastic thing, right?"

Before Bi Yunfeng could finish his words, Cao Bin at the side interrupted him with his hand, and he frowned slightly.

"You are right. Luo Congmin is not such a person. However, there are two exceptions. First, this order was not issued by her. Second, the threat from the Star Ring Group is much greater than we imagined."

Bi Yunfeng suddenly understood after hearing this.

"You mean... the threat from the Star Ring Group is huge?"

Cao Bin: ...

"What I mean is that this order may not have been issued by Luo Congmin, but by Lin Xuan."

After being reminded of this, Bi Yunfeng suddenly realized.

"I see. Now that you mention it, it does seem like his method, but why?"

Bi Yunfeng's brain worked rapidly and he finally got a result.

"Is he afraid that Cheng Xin will come out and cheat people under his name again?"

Cao Bin was silent for a moment, then said without comment.

"We cannot rule out this possibility, but the greater possibility is that they want to actively force the group alliance to leave."

"What do you mean?"

Bi Yunfeng was puzzled.

"Don't you realize that the existence of the Group Alliance is like a festering tumor in the entire Earth Alliance?"

"The group alliance is almost entirely composed of the middle class and the elite. Their status in society almost plays a backbone role, but it is precisely because of this that these talents are becoming increasingly unstable."

"Throughout history, every uprising and riot can be seen behind the scenes, these elite businessmen are behind the scenes fanning the flames, but the country does need these people to exist."

"According to normal operations, the dynasty should try to win over these aristocratic families as much as possible, and use them to control the lower-class people, so as to consolidate its own regime."

"But the situation of the Land Federation is very strange. The government and the ordinary people are on the same side, but it is the middle-class elites who are losing interests. This is incredible in any dynasty."

"If it had happened in the past, and a dynasty had dared to treat its elite nobles like this, the fate of that country would most likely be the exodus of its elites. Without high-quality talents, the country would have been destroyed very quickly."

"But now, in the era of the universe, a bug has appeared, that is, these people can't escape, or there are no other countries for them to escape to."

"The Federation of Local Governments was established under such a deformed political system. Under this system, the upper class and the lower class people live very well, but the middle class elites seem to be eating shit."

"But the middle class has nowhere to run, so they can only follow the local governments. In this way, the government's power has reached its peak, because the people at the bottom live well, and the middle class has nowhere to go even if they live a hard life. There is no need to rely on middle-class capitalism to exploit the surplus value of the bottom. The distribution of benefits has gradually changed from [whoever owns the means of production benefits] to [whoever works benefits]."

"This is the fundamental reason why Ai AA led the Star Ring Group to become independent from the Earth Union. They still want to struggle a little longer and wait for hope."

"What hope?"

"A hope to leave the Earth Union, they are waiting..."

Chapter 335 Torrent

The victory of this battle was almost a foregone conclusion. Faced with the overwhelming force of the Earth Alliance, the Star Ring Group was unable to organize any effective counterattack, and the entire Star Ring City was directly destroyed.

It was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The moment the Star Ring City completely left its orbit, tens of thousands of civilian spacecraft were pulled upward from it and began to flee from the collapsing building.

"Stop shooting and let them go!"

Luo Congmin immediately stopped all firepower units. Most of these people were wealthy businessmen and politicians from the local federation. If something went wrong, it would be very difficult to deal with the subsequent mess.

She looked up at the Star Ring City that was gradually moving away from its orbit, and finally, her heart softened for a moment.

"Also, have Space City CT48 send out a landing force to transport the ordinary residents of Star Ring City out first."

Rich businessmen can leave, but ordinary people cannot, because they simply cannot afford the high cost of using the spacecraft.

Once the war starts, these civilians, young and old, will become targets of massacre.

I still remember that the June 1st Children's Day, which has been continued since the UN era, was established because of a massacre.

Upon hearing this, Rey Diaz, who was commanding the front line, paused and looked at Luo Congmin.

"After all, you can't be as decisive as your father."

If it was Luo Ji instead of Luo Congmin who was in command here, I think he would not have hesitated at all.

Compared to the goals to be achieved, some necessary sacrifices are worth it.

"That's because you don't understand my father." Luo Congmin raised the corners of his mouth.

"Compared to Vader, my father takes humanity into account when making plans."

……

At this moment, in the studio, Taylor felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the barrage of comments on the screen.

No, who can explain to him now what is going on?

Why did the two sides start fighting out of the blue?

The host's reaction speed was still fast. He immediately asked the director to turn on the barrage to select the best. However, the number of online viewers of this live broadcast had already accounted for one-third of the world's total population, so the online curses did not stop due to the restriction of barrage, but instead became more and more intense.

"What's going on? The Star Ring City was bombed. Has the Earth Alliance gone crazy? Are they going to start a war against the Group Alliance?"

"Haha, Luo Congmin has been in power for so many years, I'm afraid she has long been blinded by power. How can she allow others to sleep beside her bed? She is just eliminating dissidents."

"That's right. I've said it before. Women shouldn't be allowed to hold power. Version T0 is indeed worthy of its reputation. She hasn't done much in the past few years as president. She's only been fighting among the people. Why didn't she show up during the Three-Body Crisis?"

"Um...upstairs, during the Three-Body Crisis, Luo Congmin was not yet born."

"What about the two great international eras? She was always there during the Doomsday War, right?"

"Uh... She was the Minister of Education at the time, so she couldn't lead troops into battle."

"Ahem... during her time as president, she never started a war. This doesn't go against tradition. Back in the days of the United Nations, except for one president who never started a war, every other president had to start a war. She is violating the rules of the presidency."

Everyone:...

There are many different opinions, but most people have a relatively consistent consensus that Luo Congmin's approach is somewhat extreme.

Even though the Star Ring Group has indeed been ambitious in its expansion in recent years, the Earth Alliance will not go to the point of resorting to war.

The original purpose of the group alliance was to break away from the control of the Earth Union and split the entire outer circle of the solar system to the Oort Cloud.

In order to preserve the overall situation, the Ground Federation had been tolerant of their behavior before, until today, when it finally exploded.

But the timing was wrong.

The Local Federation has not yet taken back its authority over public opinion. Once the war breaks out, the public opinion dominated by the elite class will lead the masses into an irreversible state.

In addition, there was no prior notice of the attack. Not only was the victory unfair, but the charge of launching a terrorist attack on the Star Ring Group in the name of a military exercise was enough to nail Luo Congmin to the pillar of shame in history.

Now, StarRing Group can instantly detonate public opinion as long as it ignites a spark.

A parade that will be held in various places is beginning to take shape.

“How long will the evacuation take?”

Luo Congmin looked at the time at his watch.

"Probably...it will take another three hours."

Secretary General Yu Tuan looked at the message from the landing ship and estimated the approximate time.

"Because the incident happened suddenly, the fleet near Star Ring City did not prepare for the reception in advance, so the evacuation of the people may be hindered."

Luo Congmin shook his head.

"One hour. I will only give them one hour to evacuate. Also, have all the reporters get ready. Once these people evacuate, start interviewing and reporting immediately."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tuan got a drop of cold sweat on his forehead. Luo Congmin did this most likely because he wanted to rely on these people to control public opinion in the short term.

Let the direction of public opinion move away from the discussion of the ground union attack.

But this is not right. The decision to attack Star Ring City was initiated by the Earth Alliance. Saving ordinary people is merciful from a political perspective, but from the perspective of the masses, aren't you being hypocritical?

However, Yu Tuan did not intend to guess what Luo Congmin was thinking. The reason she was shocked was the meaning behind the other party's words.

Luo Congmin did not intend to just have a small fight with the group alliance, but to eradicate it completely and nationalize the external assets that were originally part of Dilian.

"In one hour, launch the second round of attack and carry out a saturation attack on all the auxiliary buildings around Star Ring City."

Luo Congmin's task was given and Diaz said nothing, which was exactly what he wanted.

But he felt that Luo Congmin's attempt to control public opinion was somewhat unnecessary.

As long as the military power is in the hands of the local coalition, what does it matter even if public opinion is not on their side?

"What do you think our chances of winning this war are?" Diaz lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth.

Luo Congmin thought about it.

"Twenty percent."

……

An hour is a short time, but when the order was passed on, the direction of public opinion changed.

People are no longer concerned about why the war broke out suddenly, but are more concerned about the evacuation of the people.

There are three main cities in Star Ring City, and the three cities are connected back to back in a triangle.

The quantum strangulation device only caused damage to the main structure, but it is hard to say whether it caused any substantial harm to the three cities.

After all, no fool would think that the Ground Alliance's attack would stop there.

On the outside of the Star Ring City, there are more than a dozen space cities of various sizes, all of which are members of the group alliance.

After seeing what happened to Star Ring City, everyone felt threatened and Ai AA's communicator was nearly blown up.

"Ai AA, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call that thing out. Do you want to completely destroy the group alliance?"

"Luo Congmin is absolutely crazy. She actually took the initiative. Isn't she afraid that she will be drowned by the spit of public opinion?"

Ai AA listened to the quarrel in the conference room and used the authority of the communicator to turn off all their microphones.

"Let me ask you a question first,"

"Did anyone among you leak the secret?"

The microphones of the group's senior executives were blocked and they had to type their responses.

"No."

The responses were surprisingly uniform.

"In that case, let's wait and see. Now is not the best time to take action."

Ai AA looked at the broken main body of Star Ring City and the fleets densely surrounding Star Ring City on the big screen.

These fleets were divided into two groups. One group was composed of wealthy businessmen and politicians who had fled from Star Ring City. Their spaceships looked very gorgeous, and the fleet flew out from Star Ring City in a disorderly manner.

The other group of people were the unified painted fleet of the Earth Alliance. They went the opposite way from the fleeing fleets, facing the flood, entering the Star Ring City to pick up the civilians who were unable to leave the Star Ring City.

The two groups of people merged into two torrents moving in opposite directions, which looked very spectacular.
