Let them offer their loyalty

"Lady Dorothy, we are here. The formation of the First Federation Army is in front of us!"

Dorothy looked in the direction the Ringgau had indicated.

Under the scorching sun, thousands of tactical mechas were neatly arranged on the open ground, like a towering mountain, with their bodies reflecting dazzling silver light.

The soldiers are also fully armed, wearing the latest generation of exoskeleton armor and equipped with full-domain combat reconnaissance drones. Each soldier possesses unimaginable individual combat capabilities.

Behind them were dense arrays of missiles and drones...

The Federation openly waved its claws at District 25, declaring its strength that could never be surpassed!

Everything is ready. As long as the girl in the hovercraft gives the order, this huge army will cross the wasteland and launch the most deadly attack!

Chapter 420: Pledge of Allegiance to the Federation

If judged by its military strength, District 25 is no different from a newborn baby in front of the Federation. Not long ago, the Arbitration Bureau was the only one that mastered the third-generation tactical mecha technology, and the consortiums in District 25 were still worried about various bottleneck technologies.

But who knew that Jonas Weyen would overtake others by stealing the legacy of previous civilizations and creating the fourth-generation tactical mecha, which was completely on par with the Federation in terms of quality.

But even so, the gap between the two in terms of numbers is still huge. Even if no tactics are adopted, a direct push can raze the entire 25th district to the ground.

Dorothy never underestimates any enemy, even if it is just a weak ant, let alone someone like Jonas Weyen, who would block her and mankind's path to the interstellar era.

The best way is to mobilize all forces!

"Lady Dorothy, the commander-in-chief of the First Federal Army has prepared hot tea in his office and would like to invite you to come over to discuss how the Federal Army can minimize losses while crossing the wilderness." Secretary Lin Gong said softly beside her.

"No, I'm ready to return home. Please help me reject him."

"So the matter of the federal army crossing the wilderness..."

"This is his job. I want to see the completed plan in my newsletter before tonight."

Dorothy took a sip of the wine. It seemed that due to the effect of alcohol, her fair cheeks showed a faint rosy color, and her autumn eyes showed a look of reminiscence. "Ms. Lin Gong, if it was Noelle, she would never ask me..."

The girl suddenly paused, the strange color in her eyes gradually faded, she looked at the secretary who was silent and bowed her head beside her and said, "Ms. Lin Gong, next time you receive such an invitation, just refuse it directly. Dorothy Mison is just an ordinary congressman. She does not need any private invitation that may affect her personal image."

"I understand." Lin Gong nodded.

Seeing the thoughtful look on the secretary's face, Dorothy smiled and patted Lin Gong's shoulder to encourage him.

The moment she turned around, a dark look flashed across Lin Gong's face.

Noelle...Noelle again...

Could it be that after all my efforts, I am still not as good as the woman who disappeared inexplicably in District 25...

Even a little bit?

..................................................

As night falls, a new moon slowly rises from the horizon, and its silvery moonlight shines down, lighting up the endless night.

The lights in the federal center are just coming on. The huge buildings that soar into the sky are draped with neon lights, illuminating every bustling place. Next to the high-speed rail trains throughout the city, luxurious floating cars pass by from time to time.

The prosperity of the Federation is beyond everyone's imagination. Even the 25th District will need more than ten years of development to catch up with it.

In front of the huge French window, Dorothy was reading the plan sent by the commander-in-chief of the Federal Army.

——How the federal army can reach District 25 with minimal losses.

Yes, if one wants to smoothly take over District 25, the biggest obstacle is the wasteland between the Federation and District 25.

Every inch of the wasteland is covered with traces of nuclear radiation erosion. There is nothing but death. No one can survive without protection. Even the most powerful psychic will never set foot on this land easily.

But now, in order to conquer District 25, the Federation must send tens or even hundreds of thousands of people, fully armed and equipped, to cross this place!

Before this, the Federation had never had such experience, and all it had was sending a few personnel across the wasteland to Area 25.

For example, her former deputy secretary, Miss Noelle.

"The First Federation Army has drawn up a preliminary plan to use the MK-2 energy shield generator to isolate the impact of the wasteland and prevent nuclear radiation from corroding and damaging the tactical mecha body..."

The simple and unpretentious solution is to rely on the federation's foundation and pile up technology.

However, the current inventory of MK-2 energy shield generators is obviously not enough to support the entire army to complete this long journey, and supplies and follow-up support are still a problem.

Or... Jonas Weyen set up an ambush in the wilderness and destroyed the army's shield energy generator...

Dorothy narrowed her eyes slightly. If she were the other party, she would never give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when she was at such a great disadvantage.

"Lin Palace."

"I'm here, Miss Dorothy, is there anything I can assist you with?"

"Tell the commander-in-chief of the First Army that the preliminary plan has been approved for the time being, but there are still many details that need to be refined. I hope to see a more complete plan within a week."

"Yes."

Lin Gong nodded, and when she was about to leave, she was startled and a notification appeared in front of her.

This is the latest news from the Federation's secret agent in District 25.

"Miss Dorothy, I have another urgent piece of news to report to you. It is the latest news about District 25 from a secret source."

"Tell me, what's the matter."

"The news that the Federation has purged District 25 has spread. Jonas Weyen... The Alt Consortium used the fourth-generation tactical mecha as a deterrent and successfully united all the consortiums in District 25 to form the District 25 Alliance."

The words fell, followed by a long silence.

Dorothy had expected that District 25 would rise up in resistance, but she had not expected Jonas to take such decisive and drastic measures to tie the entire District 25 into a rope.

This is a bit troublesome, not because these financial groups will pose a big threat to the Federation, but because as long as they are smart, they will assist Jonas and help Jonas launch an attack on the army when the federal army is in the most dangerous radiation zone.

"What is the situation of the Arbitration Bureau?"

"The secret agents have been unable to contact Director Carol, and some of them may have been secretly executed by the Arbitration Bureau..."

"It means that the Arbitration Bureau has also betrayed."

Dorothy was lost in thought.

Things seemed to be taking a turn in an unfavorable direction; Jonas Weyen was more difficult to deal with than expected.

But this was exactly what she wanted. If the legacy of the previous civilization was really inherited by a waste who couldn't fight back, it would seem a bit boring.

After a moment, she slowly sat down and gave Lin Gong the next instructions.

"Find some people in the Twenty-Five District Alliance and incite them to rebel."

"The target is a consortium with family roots in the Federation, and they are promised sufficient benefits, credit points, land, resources... and even the opportunity to become a member of the parliament, or even a senior member."

Hearing this, Lin Gong swallowed his saliva and hesitated, "Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? Other members of the parliament will definitely have objections to this..."

"It doesn't matter. They won't make a big fuss in the parliament. Besides...it's just a promise."

Dorothy spoke calmly, without any emotion in her words.

In her eyes, those so-called congressmen are nothing but parasites who are full of hypocrisy and lies and only care about their own interests. The reason for their existence is to maintain the superficial order of the Federation, and it is not impossible to replace them if she wants.

Of course, it is still too early to do this. The most urgent task is to deal with the serious threat posed by Jonas Weyen.

"In addition to promised benefits, death threats, property confiscation... As long as they can be used, I don't mind using them."

Late at night, as Dorothy's order was issued, every secret agent in District 25 received a different list at the same time.

They had to look for opportunities to subvert the different targets on the list before the federal army officially arrived.

..................................................

District 25, Santa Technology.

Santa Technology is a large company that focuses on the research of nano-technology materials. Although it is far inferior to a behemoth like the Alte Group, it has an advantage that most other companies cannot match.

——Backed by the Federation.

The chairman of Santa Technology is named Joseph George. The George family has been rooted in the Federation since the beginning of the construction of the new order, and it has been hundreds of years.

One branch of his family came to District 25 with huge initial capital and technology and established Santa Technology in this chaotic city. Joseph George is the current heir of this branch.

A hundred years have passed, and although the two lineages are no longer as close as they were in the beginning, they have always maintained contact.

At this moment, Joseph George was sitting in his office, preparing for today's work.

"The Alte Consortium has requested to requisition most of the factories of Santa Technology for conversion into the assembly line for the fourth-generation tactical mecha?"

"How is this possible? God knows how long it will take for the federal army to arrive. If we agree... doesn't it mean that Santa Technology will almost come to a standstill from today?!"

"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Unless Jonas is willing to share the technology of the fourth-generation tactical mecha with me, I will never agree to such a ridiculous thing!"

Joseph yelled in his office.

After he finished venting, Eiffel's calm words slowly came through the communication.

"I know the difficulties between Mr. Joseph and Santa Technology, but are the conditions proposed by Mr. Joseph a bit too much?"

In today's District 25, the fourth-generation tactical mecha is like a nuclear bomb. Everyone wants it and everyone is coveting it.

"Humph, if that's the case, then forget it." Joseph sneered, "Alliance? Resist the federal army? I think it's just a joke."

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Eiffel's voice came again.

"The fourth-generation tactical mecha will be discussed, but what if the Alte Consortium is willing to use the latest lightweight material technology in exchange?"

She paused and continued, "Omega-level nanomolecular technology is enough to allow the most advanced exoskeleton armor on the market to undergo further iterations."

Joseph was stunned. After a while, a surprising curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Oh, you should have said it earlier. Now that we have foreign enemies in front of us, Santa Technology will support the decision of the Alte Group ten thousand times!" He laughed and patted his chest, saying, "As long as the nanomolecular technology is in place, the Alte Group can take as many factories as they want. I will hand them over to the Alte Group!"

After seeing the benefits he could gain, Joseph's attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Eiffel had already anticipated all this. She hypocritically agreed and finally completed the deal with the other party.

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Joseph's face gradually faded.

Omega-level nanomolecular technology...although it is indeed good, it is in no way comparable to the fourth-generation tactical mecha.

The former can at most be regarded as part of the material for making the nuclear bomb shell, while the latter is a real tactical nuclear weapon, which is completely on a different level.

Although Joseph was greedy, he was still rational. The Alte Group would never give this technology to anyone else. It was a pleasant surprise for him to be able to get a piece of meat from them this time.

But if there is a chance to obtain the complete technology...

Forget it, let’s not daydream about it for now.

The Federation attacked, and his factory was handed over to Jonas. How he resisted was his business. Even if the entire District 25 was completely destroyed, he still had his family as a fallback.

As he was thinking, a communication appeared in front of his eyes again.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Joseph George of the George family?"

"Hello, you are?"

Joseph's heart tightened; this was a sound he had never heard before.

His communications were clearly encrypted, and no one without authorization could dial this number.

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that all your credit cards and savings cards in the Commonwealth Bank have been frozen by us. Um... after the federal police's assessment, these funds are suspected of being illegal. After the inventory is completed, they will most likely be confiscated directly."

"You're talking nonsense! I earned that money through legal means!"

Joseph suddenly became anxious. With his family as a back-up plan, he was used to storing most of his funds in federal bank accounts. Even if District 25 was completely destroyed one day, he would be able to get away with it.

Joseph suddenly realized, "Wait, you are from the Federation."

"It seems that Mr. Joseph is still sober... Well, I don't want our next conversation to be heard by anyone."

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Joseph's mind. He hesitated for a moment and turned on the stealth mode of the office.

"Go ahead, I'm safe, there's no eavesdropping device around me."

"In that case, let me make it short. The great will of the Federation requires you to... swear allegiance to the Federation—!"
