Chapter 942 - 221: Tacit Understanding

minutes after the Great Collapse event.

Due to Bartmos destroying the old net, most old-era satellites are now controlled by rogue AI, and few companies, organizations, and nations still have the capability to maintain near-earth orbit operations.

And these few satellites will be used to observe the highest value targets. The good news is that in this chaotic world, human settlements are already highly concentrated...

The capital of the European Union, Berlin, is definitely one of the main observation targets, and anyone with the ability to deploy satellites must pay attention to the dynamics there.

From the satellites, the incident at Europa Tower was not dazzling at first—

Even though Lille hacked into the European Barrier, even though he controlled the entire tower by manipulating the Illuminati, he did not initiate a major blackout. Moreover, he needed to use the entire network to strengthen the social disintegration of the European Union.

It must be said, the surrender of the Illuminati provided Lille with a lot more useful information:

Legally, every country has undergone violent armed civil wars, with the most extreme example being the UK—

The truth of history is a subtle thing, and so is the legitimacy of regimes. In theory, as long as people live well, deep blood feuds will remain in the past. Most people will not have much feeling, especially since the usurper has cleaned up most of those involved.

As long as life is good, what difference does it make who governs them? A more pragmatic approach is to avoid the issue and live a good life.

But the problem is, life is not good now—

The Martial Law Bureau, which once left the UK in devastation and famine, is now controlled by current UK rulers; the person who leaked the weight-loss virus that caused the European slimming plague has changed his name and identity and still serves as a high-ranking executive at the Food and Drug Administration...

More coincidentally, under the guidance and manipulation of the Illuminati, the European Union generally chose keywords like "sacrifice," "collectivism," and "heritage" as the national spirit...

One of the Illuminati’s judgments that the Golden Son interfered with social progress also comes from this:

This hidden group of beasts fundamentally denies the national spirit he chose for the future of the EU!

The EU was living too well, and after the breakthroughs in biotechnology with cloning and life extension technologies, they really thought they were immortal vampires. But in the eyes of the Illuminati, they were completely like mosquitoes with a lifespan of less than a month, enjoying the best resources but very shortsighted!

They couldn’t even see how such a national spirit and education were fundamentally opposed to them. People like Graham even really thought he was a big hero who saved Britain—

The Illuminati didn’t even need to deceive them; they deceived themselves!

The truth is like a flood beast, the last straw to ignite such contradictions. Maybe the truth won’t give people the power to overcome all obstacles in an instant, but it will provide long-term motivation for the entire collective on a societal scale—

In the past, as long as people thought of the greatness and glory of the EU, even the poorest and soon-to-die worker of Foxstone would puff out his chest, then face cruel reality and fall into confusion...

But now there’s no confusion, because they can be sure the current harshness is due only to thieves!

Observing from satellites, the EU has already fallen—

The massive dissipation of lights is very conspicuous, and even the explosions in the industrial areas can be observed over a large area. Even more conspicuous is the massive electromagnetic pulse wave from Europa Tower.

This scene can be captured by any artificial satellite.

Military Technology and EBM are coincidentally having a meeting—

EBM Hamburg, the joint control and investor of the EBM company, is having a network meeting with the President of New America and the CEO of Military Technology.

[EBM: Pleasure working with you, President Miles. Our joint cooperation can be mutually beneficial.]

This cooperation will allow the severely damaged EBM to receive direct economic support from New America, as well as military assistance from Military Technology, at least ensuring it won’t be easily devoured by other companies.

Correspondingly, with EBM’s orbital wide-area EMP weapon as a backup, New America can re-establish its Space Army, return to outer space operations, and the European Union can no longer recklessly punish nations with ulterior motives by dropping meteors as they used to.

Miles feels this is a windfall, not caring how much they spend. What’s important is that they can develop into outer space again and even establish a European bridgehead ally.

In the virtual conference room, Miles shows a satisfied smile: military-wise there are Military Technology and Lazarus Company, with Zeta Technology originally being the only one on the civil technology front, now EBM can join in... at the national level, it’s the best situation.

[President Miles: Pleasure working with you.]

[EBM: Now let us connect you to our military satellite signal, please have your tech personnel ready to load the following communication protocols.]

[New America Space Army Command: Loading software now.]

[EBM: Now, please enjoy the view from 3,000 kilometers above ground, along with EBM’s latest smart monitoring system...]

[Beep beep beep beep——]

The screen had just connected when the entire system went into a frenzy warning!

This scene left all participants dumbfounded, including those on the EBM side!

[EBM: Wait, this isn’t... this isn’t a technical error... this is... this is an emergency alert!]

[President Miles: Please explain immediately.]

The voice on the EBM side carried a hint of urgency, while Miles’s voice turned cold, and the cup in her hand was put down.

In the image, the prosperous EU cities were broadly insufficiently lit, but just after saying that, Miles noticed something wrong:

This didn’t seem like an image issue; those EU cities were actually dark!

Not only dark, but they were flickering with almost indistinguishable glimmers...

President Miles, a survivor of the Space Army disbanded after being hit by EU meteors, saw this image, and a ridiculous idea suddenly crossed her mind:

Is it an explosion?

[EBM: It is an explosion!]

The voice on the opposite participant sounded like they jumped.

[EBM: The EU exploded! Major armed conflicts broke out within the EU! President Miles, please deploy troops immediately!]

Who created this armed conflict is still uncertain! EBM forces were killed messily, and the best option now is for New America to dispatch troops to respond to the upcoming complicated situation!

Miles, greatly shocked, immediately responded:

[President Miles: Air Fortress will dispatch troops immediately, I thought the alarm was a system error on your side.]

The other party just wanted to speak, but suddenly discovered a problem:

[EBM: Wait, President Miles, did you say you heard the alarm too?]

Miles paused.

[President Miles: What do you mean?]

[EBM: It was only an experimental connection just now, theoretically this alarm system was only prepared for us, given the anomaly occurred in Europe, we hadn’t even shared this set of... intelligence...]

An anomaly occurring in Europe naturally only alerts EBM in Europe.

So the alarm just now????

Miles’s pupils contracted, realizing the alarm just now wasn’t sent by this strategic partnership system...

It came from New America’s own social monitoring system!

Someone’s causing trouble in Washington... no, someone’s attacking the Space Army headquarters!

Just as the screen popped open, a super flying pickup truck that had been giving her headaches for two years appeared in the video!

It’s that lunatic again! They actually dared to attack the Space Army headquarters directly!

Boom!

In the video, the Space Army’s communication base station was directly blown up, and communication with EBM was severely disrupted!

Did these two sides coordinate this? Such tacit understanding?!

Miles jumped to her feet:

"I want that lunatic dead!"
