Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 126 - 103: Fighting for Common Interests_2

At the final turning point, the representative’s tone suddenly rose.

As if it also stirred people’s emotions.

Injected everyone with a shot of adrenaline.

Indeed—!

That Mr. Shen and the Star Sea Company are their lifelines! Haven’t you seen that even the Planet Fortress has already started construction?

"Who are our enemies?" Someone couldn’t help but shout.

"It is an Interstellar Nomadic Fleet. They’ve lost their Mother Star and live by plundering civilizations weaker than themselves. They’ve already discovered Blue Star! They’ve even entered the Solar System. Mr. Shen noticed the fleet’s movements and returned to Blue Star ahead of schedule to provide us with assistance and prepare early," the representative quickly answered.

"Can’t we negotiate?" Someone else asked.

"Such Interstellar Nomadic Fleet are like wolves hungry in the interstellar space. They will continue to plunder and wage war until destruction, as this is their way of survival."

"Once we’ve finished building the Planet Fortress, can we win?"

"No, there are too many uncertainties in an interstellar war. However, the Planet Fortress is our greatest hope. It can narrow the gap between us and the enemy in the shortest time, ensuring we’re not powerless, with even a substantial chance of victory!"

"..."

With the rapid exchange of questions and answers, everyone began to respond gradually. For a moment, various questions emerged continuously.

The representative had to shout several more times to calm the venue down again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since we’ve chosen to go public, we will soon produce a special column to introduce some of this information. You can also inquire the Star Spirit, who will provide answers. Here, I want to speak on behalf of all senators of the Human Federation to everyone around the world."

The representative strengthened his voice and slowly said:

"From today, the term ’human’ will acquire a brand-new definition!

No matter whether we are willing or not, in the interstellar space, we are humans! Mr. Shen returned from the Star Sea for this very reason.

Humans are weak, so we must unite! We can no longer kill each other or fight due to trivial matters. freёnovelkiss.com

Humans are backward, so we must strive to catch up! We must never let go of any opportunity to strengthen ourselves.

Humans are fragile, so we must give everything to protect our lives and everything around us! We cannot be slaughtered or caught without resistance! As long as there is even a glimmer of hope for victory, we will do whatever it takes to seize it!

And from today forward.

The Human Federation will unite with various governments to launch the largest preparation project in human history, economic transformation is just the first step. Within a limited time, we must build the Planet Fortress, construct Space Cities! We also need to train powerful Interstellar Forces!

This time, all humanity will fight for common interests!"

The speaker, clearly carefully chosen, had a tone heavy and passionate, calm yet determined. Everyone could feel a sense of resolve in this brief speech.

A resolve from the upper echelons of the Human Federation!

That’s right, humanity has not given up, nor despaired, even when facing an unprecedented challenge, hope still exists!

Even after this hearing ended, many still haven’t recovered from the shocking news.

However, voices on the internet have already begun to emerge, different from before.

"I’m not ready to die, I want to live to two hundred! So, no matter what I’m asked to do, we must win!"

"I’ve decided, I’m going to enlist, even if I die, I don’t want to die at home!"

"The Star Spirit suggested I go learn architecture before, and I refused. I’m so foolish, this is about building the Planet Fortress, Space Cities! Participating in this would be a lifetime honor!"

"A group of interstellar hungry wolves, that’s all! What’s there to fear! We can definitely win!"

"Everyone, it’s time to unite, each of us must dedicate ourselves fully to this war! No one can stay uninvolved!"

"..."

Just as those in the Federation planned, announcing the coming interstellar war at this moment can consolidate humanity into a united force under external pressure, and allows everyone to find a purpose to pursue! Letting people invest their passion and fighting spirit into the transformation and development of civilization!

Once this atmosphere spreads globally, many future endeavors, including massive preparation projects, become much easier.

Of course, not all of the world’s 7 billion people can fight for common interests; some remain more concerned about personal gain.

Fortunately, in this "baiting" scheme, most of these people have already revealed themselves.

For instance, Laurie is dazed after the hearing ended.

Yet no one approached him.

Those stirred up by Laurie, one by one quietly distanced themselves.

Because everyone now knows, facing crisis, the Star Sea Company is not just a company anymore, it is the Savior of human civilization, a vital anchor for survival! Without the Star Sea Company, humanity would be vulnerable in this Star Sea!

Under such circumstances, opposing Star Sea is nearly equivalent to anti-humanity!

And at this moment, several people in Human Federation uniforms reached out to cuff Laurie.

"Laurie Alfrede, you are under arrest for inciting people to attack the crucial Planet Fortress construction base. In addition, you are charged with fraud, tax evasion, forming illegal organizations, and anti-humanity tendencies..."

"No! I haven’t!" Laurie suddenly jolted, shrieking, "You have no evidence! You have no evidence."

"No, they do have evidence." A voice suddenly came.

It’s Quint!

Laurie looked at the black lawyer in the worn-out suit in front of him, no longer appearing desolate, and suddenly understood everything.

"Why are you doing this!" Laurie shouted like mad, "Star Sea made you lose everything, I saved you! Why are you doing this!"

"First, I didn’t lose everything. What’s most important to me are my wisdom and efforts. Star Sea gave me the opportunity to start anew. Secondly, humanity must concentrate all efforts for the war. We don’t want a situation where people are holding us back when we are striving to fight... " Quint didn’t finish his words, seeing Laurie’s hysterical look, suddenly sighed, "Forget it, you won’t understand, you just need to know, I joined the Human Federation long before I found you, so I didn’t betray you, you’ve always been just a pawn used."

"I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!" Laurie shook his head frantically, "Mr. Chris will definitely help me!"

"Chris? That oil tycoon?" Quint remembered the name and shook his head, "He’s already beyond protecting himself. We’ve been setting this up for so long, not just for a pawn like you."

Quint didn’t come here to provoke Laurie.

In terms of the entire preparation project, Laurie indeed is useless.

But for some others, Laurie is just starting out.

There will always be some factions that, even knowing the impending invasion crisis, still try to profit from this comprehensive transformation.

They might think their actions are hidden.

However, when most people and forces within the civilization, from the top down, have decided to prepare fully for war, these factions become increasingly glaring.
