Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

"What we are reporting to you now is the emergency news from Jade Skirt Northern TV Station. On the night of July 20, a vicious conflict occurred in the Zihuai Shuhai area of ​​the North Fourth District. After receiving the alarm, the North Fourth District Command Center dispatched an emergency response The team went to the scene of the incident to deal with it, but encountered an ambush and interception by members of an unknown organization on the way. Three members of the team disappeared during the battle... In view of the severe consequences of this incident, Bellows, the military police commander in charge of the North Fourth District, issued a public statement We apologized and stated that we would try our best to trace the organization behind this matter..."

The sound of news reports and interviews came from the old radio player. In the living room, a black-haired girl was kneeling on a mat, assisting the little girl next to her with her homework. In the kitchen next to her, a gray-haired old man I was turning on the faucet to wash the fruits, then cut them and put them on the plate.

"Hesia, Lisa, come and eat some melon and washed strawberries." The old man came to the living room with very slow steps, and then placed the fruit plate on the coffee table.

"Grandma, slow down." Seeing the old man coming, the little girl stood up and helped her take the plate and put it away.

"Mom said not to let you do this, otherwise you will fall easily." She spoke with her hands on her hips like a little adult. Looking at her like this, the old man just smiled and touched her head, and then sat down.

Heshia also put down her pen at this moment, raised her head, moved her legs a little, then took the melon slices from Lisha and ate them in small bites.

"Things have been rough lately, Heshia." The old man slowly sat on the sofa and looked at the small radio station playing news on the side of the living room. A small screen was projected above it, which played the midday news.

"Well, Grandma He, you'd better not go out recently." She naturally knew the current situation in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory, so she advised her.

"I will be careful, but He Cheng, I don't know what he is like outside." The old man still couldn't let go of this grandson. After all, He Cheng and his sister were both raised by the old man.

"I have already told people in the company about this. They will also reduce business on dangerous roads recently and try to work together as a team." The girl finished the melon slices in her hand, and then Lisa handed her another strawberry.

Heshia, who touched Lisa's head and took the strawberry, did not rush to eat it, but continued talking about things.

"This year's situation is different from the past, and it will probably be more difficult."

"Even Heshia said that, so it must not be that simple." The old man did not ask Heshia why she said it, but she knew that the girl in front of her was a big shot now, and the other party's news must be better than hers. There are many more elderly people in the family.

"Actually, Arpeggio City is fine, and the impact should not be too big." Heshia peeled off the leaves from the strawberries and put them in her mouth. The crisp sweetness overflowed in her mouth, with a slight hint of sweetness. Sour and crispy, with a green and fresh feeling.

Originally, most of the companies in Payin City produced basic industrial materials and accessories, nothing too sophisticated or cutting-edge. The demand for these things was huge, but the profits were not high, and basically no one came to grab this business.

Nowadays, those most affected are the highly refined industries in the Four Leaf Crystal Star Region, especially highly coupled products. Such products often involve thousands of spare parts manufacturers and complex supply chains, and only one of them is broken or stuck. , will bring about chain reactions.

It was okay in the past, but now in the Four Leaf Crystal Star Territory, two major groups are fighting. Even if the affiliated companies of each group suffer losses, they must cut off cooperation with the other group, otherwise the alliance will punish the internal executives and responsible persons. people.

St. Ingo and Edes, the proportion of enterprises and companies affected by the two schools has not reached 100%, but now under the fierce action plans of the two parties, other groups and companies are not immune to the disaster, just like the eyes of the two storms Stirring the internal market of the entire Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory, other groups and companies are also faced with the situation of having to take sides.

There are very few companies that can continue to remain neutral and allow neither party to accuse or criticize. Probably only the branches of certain giant companies in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory can survive. After all, those behemoths are extremely powerful forces in themselves.

After eating the strawberry, Heshia picked up a green melon slice. At this moment, the big spider fell from the ceiling and came to the plate with fruits. He carefully picked up a strawberry with his two front paws and put it into his mouth. , chew it quickly.

"Eat less, there isn't much." Seeing the big spider bite one by one, Heshia couldn't help but knock it. She didn't even eat a few, but this guy didn't know how to stop.

The big spider felt a little aggrieved after being restrained by Heshia. He hissed twice, then rubbed its two front paws, then climbed onto the cabinet on the side of the living room and lay down. It still preferred high places so that it could be observed easily. The condition of the whole room.

After taking the fruit plate back, Heshia took out the remaining strawberries and put them in the palm of Lisa's hand. Then Lisa handed some to Grandma He, but the old man said that she would not eat them because her teeth were not good.

After this afternoon interlude, Heshia continued to tutor Lisa for a while, and did not say goodbye until around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Walking in the underground passage of Pagyin City, the dark red-coated metal floor is almost unchanged. A row of street lights at the top of the passage extends into the distance like a river. At least compared to the past, the lights are much brighter now.

Closing her eyes, Heshia's perception spread. She could sense that there were many surveillance points hidden in this residential area and passages. This density was actually rare, probably because she came here often, Arpeggio Other places in the city will not have such strict arrangements.

Although she didn't ask for anything, the local government still protected this rare girl singer very well. Basically, as long as she made suggestions, if they were not too outrageous, she would get feedback quickly.

Because she lives here, Payin City has been isolated from a lot of outside interference during this storm. Even St. Ingo will not deliberately come to offend and disturb her. In fact, they prefer that this girl will grow old. Just stay at home and don't stand up for Edes.

The fan at the top of the passage whirred and fresh air circulated. Heshia walked through the streets of the residential area carrying her handbag, occasionally jumping over some obstacles and puddles, and then came to the house where she lived.

She opened the door and entered, and soon a big furry spider emerged from the shadow at her feet and went straight to its small nest. It was decorated by Heshia and decorated with black crystals that the big spider loved. Broken pieces.

Taking off her small leather shoes, Heshia put on light slippers, then put the homemade pastries presented by Grandma He in the handbag into the refrigerator, then sat back on the sofa, folded her feet, and stepped lightly on the sofa superior.

After stretching for a while, Heshia opened her personal terminal. There were several unread messages in it, including greetings from the academy, a new song by the composer Odney helped her contact, and Yilin. Travel photos sent from Yuange Star Territory, etc.

After reading and replying one by one, Heshia put down her personal terminal, thought for a moment, and then opened some forums and websites in the star field to see how residents today view this unexpected incident.

Although she hasn't asked Eds Academy about the cause and effect of this incident, her intuition tells her that this incident is not simple.

Sure enough, someone on the forum gave discussions and speculations.

'Although the number of people and scope involved was not large, this attack exposed a very serious problem. You must know that what was missing this time were three intact active mechas. In the hands of skilled pilots of Sequence 5, these mechas will be lost every time. Each of these mechas can explode into a combat power that is close to that of a mid-level Sequence 6, and if there is no resistance from the same level of combat power, three fully armed mechas are enough to destroy a small city. ’

‘Not all extraordinary beings are suitable for fighting, and many people are not aware of the terrifying power possessed by certain violent organizations. I think what most people have probably seen the most is the live broadcast of the annual Winter Festival Competition. ’

'You think that the combat power unleashed by geniuses like Levito and Seraphiel is very powerful and far away, but in fact, the Sequence 6 military mechas currently in service in the Federation can easily achieve the same destructive capabilities. The reason why I don't take Sylviala and Tilan as examples is because they are very special. Their terrifying speed is not something even Sequence 6 mechas can catch up with. ’

"How many Sequence 6 mechas are there? It is now announced that there are about 7,000 Sequence 6 Black Beacon-class mechas in active service on the Jade Skirt Planet. Each of these black sharp-angled war machines costs a lot to build. It’s not cheap, and the drivers are all federal military rank 6 or above.”

"The missing person this time is a Sequence 5 Pelican-class mecha that was retired and used by the military and police. There are approximately 40,000 to 60,000 of these mechas. They are a weapon for regional governments to maintain stability and deal with violent terrorist bandits. Although its combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the Black Albatross, it is not bound by many military rules and can be used flexibly. It is the backbone of many local government agencies and is sometimes used in conjunction with fighter planes and tanks."

"Such a war machine in the hands of a Sequence 5 driver has almost no rivals in peacetime. The mecha's strong armor and sensitive and fast weapons allow the driver to challenge the Sequence 6 transcendent, persist for a long time, and even Kill most of the Sequence 6 Transcendents who are not good at fighting."

"Logically speaking, ordinary gangsters and underground organizations would never confront or confront such a war machine, but this time it happened that the other party not only dared to touch it, but also killed these three mechas in just half an hour. Knocked down and taken away, the signal was blocked during the process, making it impossible for subsequent support troops to catch up, and avoiding satellite scanning and search."

"The incident is not serious, but the problems exposed are terrifying. Someone can actually carry out such dangerous acts inside the capital star of the star field, and the government can't find the person in a short time. This either means that the officials of Jade Skirt have already begun to monitor the remoteness of the planet. The fact that the zone is out of control may mean that someone within the official body leaked intelligence as an insider and helped to accomplish this."

Many people echoed the post, and there were also speculations and inferences of various conspiracy theories. Some said that a mysterious resistance organization appeared in the world, and it was the revenge of the descendants of those who were abandoned many years ago. Some said that it was an underground gang that was striving to make things happen, and some said that it was an underground gang. It is that the officials of the North Fourth District have become extremely corrupt, betraying the teams performing tasks for personal gain, etc.

Although most of the rise of these remarks are based on rumors, the deterioration of the public opinion environment can indeed be seen. Many people are not satisfied with the current official government of the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory, and this distrust has also been accumulated for a long time. Probably It started 200 years ago when the government failed to reverse the planet's environmental degradation and allowed poisonous rain to spread over a large area.

The experiences of many people's parents and elders have allowed them to pass on this dissatisfaction and hatred in their teachings to future generations. If any government truly solves the problem, it is probably possible to eliminate it, but the rigidity The government and the upper-level interest groups have made it even more difficult to advance environmental problems that are already difficult to solve. People are gradually disappointed after repeated disappointments. Poverty and unemployment have led to the deterioration of public security, which in turn has given rise to various underground forces. This is also Jade Skirt is the reason why many remote areas are difficult to govern.

If it is the same as in the past, local officials do not want all kinds of troubles to occur during their term of office, and underground organizations and forces do not want to attract official suppression due to their high profile. They can still maintain a certain balance together, but this time the battle between the two major groups has caused a stir. It spread to all aspects of the star field, and the balance in many places was broken.

Because project cooperation has been cut off, the factory has a large backlog of inventory. If it cannot be consumed quickly, it will not be able to survive. It is impossible to expand the market in a short time, but it seems easier to let competitors go bankrupt in today's environment, so some gray areas people are hired.

The already intense fighting has caused a large amount of official police force to be wasted on resolving conflicts. Some small thefts and robberies no longer have the energy to solve. Crimes without punishment have worsened the environment and more lawbreakers have appeared, which further increases the problem. It reduces the pressure from the police, reduces the possibility of being caught for illegal crimes, and reduces the cost of breaking the law. Like a vicious circle, it encourages more desperate people to embark on this path.

In April and May, the situation was relatively mild, but in June, the impact began to be transmitted to the lower levels, and the situation began to become intense. By the end of July, many problems began to erupt. In order to deal with protests and social security issues in the jurisdiction , local officials are overwhelmed, and many people are worried that this will affect the next election. Some cities have even begun to impose martial law and restrict travel.

Although the current Star Territory Government can still control the situation and stabilize it, the situation has reached a dangerous edge. If it cannot be handled within the specified time, the Federal Central Council is very likely to issue an inquiry. This often represents the end of the political life of the Star Territory Governor. This is something that the official senior officials of Star Territory cannot bear.

Soon after, the disappearance of the mecha team continued to ferment, and various blame-shifting began to prevail within government agencies. For this reason, a senior police superintendent in the North Fourth District resigned, and many relevant persons in charge were dismissed. Due to the impact, some congressmen claimed that many people in the government now accept corporate bribes and corruption is endemic, and suggested that strict censorship measures be taken.

Although this was just a suggestion, it was quickly endorsed by residents across the network. Under pressure, the Star Territory Government began to launch some limited self-examinations.

Under the previous influence of St. Ingo Academy, many customs and inspection agency personnel were exposed to the behavior of detaining goods from the companies affiliated to the group related to Edes Academy. Officials who were originally based on connections and bribery cooperation were in order to To avoid censorship, they began to give up accepting requests and assistance from the forces related to Saint Ingo, and let go of the differential treatment of goods from the companies affiliated with Eds Academy.

The situation is tense and changing quietly.
