Chapter 147: Human Alliance, Preparing for External Enemy

The mighty mobilization of Yanhuang Guo's nationwide conscription swept across the globe like a tsunami, letting every nation feel the imminent, deadly aura.

While nations were still digesting this shocking news and speculating about Yanhuang Guo's next move,

an invitation issued by the Yanhuang Guo Ministry of Foreign Affairs that amounted to an ultimatum,

was simultaneously delivered to the desks of all nations' top officials.

The document's title was gentle—【Proposal for Establishing the Blue Star Civilization Joint Defense Front】.

But its content was filled with unquestionable firmness.

The proposal's core points were only a few:

1. To counter the impending extraterrestrial civilization threat and defend humanity's common home, all nations must unconditionally join the Blue Star Civilization Joint Defense Front and accept the unified command of the Yanhuang Guo Supreme Strategic Command.

2. Each country must provide troops according to its national strength and population. Among them, Yingjiang Guo must provide 30 million troops, the OZ Alliance 15 million, the Polar Bear State 18 million…

Together with Yanhuang Guo's 50-million-strong defense corps, they will form a "Blue Star Alliance Fleet" exceeding 200 million in scale.

3. All provided troops will cover combat, logistics, engineering, medical, and all other fields; Yanhuang Guo will supply all weapons, equipment, warships, and training support.

4. No country may refuse or passively respond for any reason; otherwise, it will be deemed a traitor to human civilization, and Yanhuang Guo reserves the right to take any necessary measures.

……

Yingjiang Guo, Bai Gong.

President Harris held the document, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

This is not a proposal; it's a naked command!

It is exploitation of the weak by the strong!

"Thirty million! They want us to provide thirty million of our finest soldiers, then hand them over to their command?"

A five-star general slammed the table and rose, furious beyond containment.

"This is to drain all our military strength! Send our people to the battlefield as cannon fodder for them!"

"Can we refuse?"

Harris lifted his head, his blood-red eyes scanning everyone present,

"What can we refuse with? Pit our carriers against their interstellar warships? Or use our Y-35s to intercept their laser cannons?"

The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Humiliation, anger, resentment…

All these emotions churned in their hearts, but ultimately turned into deep helplessness.

At this moment, they finally felt what it means that weakness is the original sin.

"Tell them…"

Harris's voice was hoarse as if scraped by sandpaper: "We… agree."

The same scene played out around the world.

No matter how proud or invincible they once were, facing Yanhuang Guo's absolute power capable of crushing the globe and the unassailable banner of "defending humanity",

they had no room for choice.

Resistance?

The vast fleet that appears and disappears mysteriously in the sky is the most direct answer.

Thus, in the following month, the most spectacular scene in human history unfolded.

Countless soldiers of different skin colors and languages gathered from around the world, boarding the massive transport ships dispatched by Yanhuang Guo,

and were sent to the newly built military bases on the Moon, Mars, and near-Earth orbit.

When they stepped out of the hatch, seeing the majestic lunar city, the interstellar warships docked in the port like towering mountains, and the efficient robot armies at work,

any lingering resentment and resistance in their hearts were instantly replaced by unparalleled shock.

"God… if we were to oppose such a nation, I would rather choose suicide!"

A soldier from the OZ Alliance, looking at all this, muttered to himself.

Such voices were no longer few.

However, their lament didn't last long, for what followed was devilish training.

And the training's main stage was precisely that globally popular virtual reality game—【Interstellar Construction Era】.

The game updated with a war module called "Great Wall Watch".

All alliance soldiers were required to conduct high-intensity simulated training in the virtual world.

An ace pilot from Yingjiang Guo, in the virtual cockpit, first piloted the interstellar warship's attendant fighter.

He found his proud flying skills appeared clumsy before this performance monster.

And his instructor was a 21-year-old Yanhuang Guo soldier who, in simulated combat, used unfathomable maneuvers to consecutively "shoot him down" seventeen times.

An armored forces commander from the Polar Bear State, on the virtual asteroid belt battlefield, learned how to command a mixed interstellar force of robots and humans, conducting coordinated three-dimensional offense and defense.

He discovered that Yanhuang Guo's command system, assisted by quantum intelligence, was a hundred times more efficient than any tactical theory he had previously studied.

Soldiers from different countries were shuffled and reassigned into various squads; in the simulated missions, they had to learn to cooperate in the shortest time possible.

Beyond virtual training lay brutal field exercises.

The massive alliance fleet, within the Solar System, used the asteroid belt as a battlefield, conducting round after round of red‑blue engagements.

Repeated failures and countless reviews turned this army, composed of the "All‑Nations Allied Army",

into a true iron army with combat effectiveness, being forged at astonishing speed.

Their beliefs, tactics, and even thought patterns were subtly imprinted with Yanhuang Guo's mark.

Time flew by in this tense, efficient preparation.

Four months later.

At the edge of the Solar System, the Kuiper Belt.

Inside a deep-space observation post disguised as an asteroid, the alarm suddenly blared.

"Report to headquarters! Detected a high-energy space jump reaction! The target has entered the Solar System's gravitational range!"

This information was sent back via quantum communication to the command ship — the New Sun-Chaser, in an instant.

"Switch to the Sky Eye long-range optical observation array! Send the images over!"

Inside the command ship, Zhang Xianzhong, who served as commander of the interstellar fleet, gave the order.

Next, on the large screen, amid a pitch-black cosmic backdrop, space rippled like water.

The next second, an object appeared out of nowhere.

When the image was zoomed in, magnified, and sharpened to the utmost, everyone held their breath.

It was neither a warship nor a spacecraft.

It resembled an object assembled from countless irregular black crystal blocks, about three kilometers in length.

Its surface bore no portholes, lights, or weapon marks, only some golden patterns that flowed slowly like living things.

Its form was filled with the eerie beauty of non-Euclidean geometry, completely incompatible with any human engineering or aesthetic cognition.

It simply hovered silently in the dark universe, hundreds of millions of kilometers from the Alliance fleet.

This, was that unknown "existence" that had crossed 1.3 light-years of stellar sea to reach the Solar System.

Its appearance announced—

First contact, officially began.
