Chapter 437: 428 brushing the lower limit



The global protests had already lasted three days, and Bai Zhongqi still appeared unflustered, yet he unusually expressed some dissatisfaction with the Star Alliance government's handling of the situation. As someone who stood behind the Star Alliance government, Bai Zhongqi did not directly manage Earth affairs. The Star Alliance government represented the core of the Star Alliance and handled various situations. Bai Zhongqi, who did not have an official position within the Star Alliance, often stood back and observed. "The handling by the Du Peng government was indeed somewhat improper. He originally planned to adopt more drastic measures, but seeing your more tempered reaction made it difficult to guess your true thoughts. Additionally, Earth's officials, regardless of their political spectrum, generally opposed forceful handling of the situation, causing the Prime Minister to hesitate in his actions." Zero's insight was very sharp, immediately discerning the truth of the matter. Bai Zhongqi sighed lightly; he was not without fault in this matter. From one perspective, he held absolute power, yet on the other, he was concerned about maintaining propriety. He desired an appropriate resolution that prevented the situation from escalating. However, even he might not always handle such a delicate balance well, let alone Du Peng guessing his real thoughts. In reality, the Star Alliance had already dispatched large numbers of Riot Control Troops to the scene. Rows of Bionic Warriors in Individual Armor looked quite intimidating, thus forcibly "rationalizing" the protesting crowd. However, the situation began to spiral out of control after another explosive revelation was disclosed. "Breaking news, in the two battles against Teizene, the Star Alliance Universe Army, under the instruction of Chancellor Bai Zhongqi, massacred over two million Teizenese. Many captives, who had lost their ability to fight and were captured by the Universe Army, were directly slaughtered. Teizenese Warships that had lost their combat capabilities during the Star Battle, carrying large numbers of personnel, were destroyed one by one without any attempt at rescue. Even more outrageously, in dealing with the bodies of the massacred Teizenese, the Star Alliance government and Universe Army directly threw them into substance recycling furnaces, transforming them into vast amounts of synthetic food, which were fed to millions of Star Alliance citizens. Yes, it's possible that every one of us has eaten rice and meat made from Teizenese corpses!" Bai Zhongqi was somewhat astonished by this sensational article from an unknown small media outlet, amazed at how some people had refreshed his perception of unscrupulousness. Upon seeing this, Zero was filled with righteous indignation and said, "The Teizenese are our enemies after all, a wicked race that attempted to enslave Earth and consume most of its population. How could they be so saintly towards such enemies? Moreover, it's not true that we truly captured any Teizenese; they would fight until the last moment. It's ridiculous that our defense against the enemy could be construed as a massacre. I really have to wonder if there are some idiots inside our Star Alliance or if traitors from other civilizations have infiltrated us." Bai Zhongqi just smiled and said, "Saying that we threw Teizenese corpses into the substance recycling furnaces and turned them into food is not untrue." Zero frowned, looking pained, and said, "Your Majesty, you're still in the mood for jokes at a time like this. What waste does our Star Alliance not put into the substance recycling furnaces? We use the principle of Atomic Substance Construction to reduce all materials back to utilizable substances, which is clearly beneficial to society. Moreover, some people are overly sensitive. In the past, people used green manure on crops; did they think they were eating excrement? Even without Atomic Substance Construction, the world's materials are always cycling through decomposition and reshaping." Bai Zhongqi nodded in agreement and said, "This is the gap created by a generational divide in knowledge. For Iridium Star natives, this is a matter of course, but for some Earthlings who have not embraced new knowledge, it's unacceptable." Zero checked the information on her hand and said, "The Star Alliance propaganda department is quite prompt this time and has already started to clarify and debunk various wrong information. However, the negative impact has already spread, and although most people might change their perspective, there will still definitely be a small section who will react strongly to this." As Zero had said, even though the Star Alliance utilized AI to block or handle broadcasts with limited veracity or which caused negative effects, these messages still spread rapidly in other forms. For those who had initially been disinterested in participating in anti-Star Alliance government activities, these revelations held little meaning; they would not pay attention and would simply go about their own lives. However, for those already aligned against the Star Alliance government and the Chancellor, this information served as the perfect fuel for their fire. Far away in Lighthouse Country, Abigail, upon seeing this news, immediately attempted to share it, but the news was quickly blocked for reasons such as being "false" and "contrary to mainstream values". Abigail, cursing the Star Alliance officials, picked up her phone to spread the news to her colleagues. Initially, this action may seemed insignificant, but soon, Abigail discovered that no matter whether she attempted video calls or text messages, communications involving this content would instantly disconnect. "These bastards restricting freedom of speech!" she cursed bitterly, profoundly disappointed. "No worries, now go to the square and speak there; millions have gathered there. We have the most traditional, most honest method to let everyone know just how vile and despicable the self-proclaimed Chancellor Bai and the Star Alliance government are!" Abigail was true to her word; she gathered a group of her democratic peers and began spreading what they saw as the "truth" at the rally in Washington. Like a tiny spark igniting the prairie, the crowd became increasingly tumultuous. Then, in that moment, someone overwhelmed with anger shouted, "Let's occupy the Star Alliance's puppet, America's Congress! Let those who infringe upon the people's rights see the power of the masses!" The crowd instantly became excited, pushing and shouting, hurling plastic water bottles and stones at the Riot Control Troops standing in front of the Capitol, causing immediate chaos. Large numbers of people charged at the Riot Control Troops. They had attempted the same thing a few days earlier, but the troops, armored in Individual Armor and immensely strong, were immovable. Now, calling for more people, the tide of the crowd surged against the barricade.
