Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 438 - 429 Ominous Premonition

Just as groups of young protesters began to charge at the police lines formed by the Bionic Human Riot Control Troops, Bai Zhongqi directly issued an order to clear the area. Normally, Bai Zhongqi wouldn't bypass the Star Alliance government to issue orders, but his patience was nearly exhausted. Moreover, from this day on, Bai Zhongqi began to have some urgent premonitions for some reason; he felt that the invasion by the three great enslavers might come faster than he had imagined.

All around Washington's National Square and its peripheries, now filled with millions of protesters from different states, only a minority were actually storming the police lines, but the chaos at the scene was already unbearable. Some protesters at the back attempted to push forward, and consequently, stampedes occurred.

Fortunately, now that everyone had benefited from Genetic Advantage Liberation, their physical condition was incomparable to that of the former Earthlings; even if trampled, no fatal incidents occurred.

However, no matter how the rioting young protesters tried to break through the police lines formed by the Riot Control Troops, they couldn't manage it. These troops held thick riot shields, forming a very solid and close defense, and these shields also emitted a slight paralyzing current. Continuous contact with this current was not only uncomfortable but could also result in being stunned.

Finally, pushed continuously by the crowd and electrocuted by the riot shields, the unfortunate ones could no longer bear it and successive individuals collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth. Their collapse, in turn, incited even greater anger among the rioters behind them.

"They're killing people!"

To make matters worse, someone had hidden old-era weapons among the protesters. Even though Lighthouse Country had entered the Star Alliance, they had still retained the local regulations for selling firearms, which, in the eyes of the Star Alliance, posed little threat—though they were indeed a greater threat to public security.

The sound of several semi-automatic gunfire shots, though not particularly shrill in the excited crowd, nevertheless triggered some panic among them. Many who had just been angrily pushing against the police lines and Riot Control Troops now turned around and tried to run back, but they couldn't get far.

The stampede worsened; people fell, and people trampled over those who had fallen while continuing to run back, with the gun-holders becoming reckless, firing into the crowd again.

"Murder, murder!" someone shouted in fear, unable to discern who was shooting. They couldn't even realize that all official armed forces in the Star Alliance had phased out individual firearms; if it were really the Riot Control Troops shooting, it definitely wouldn't sound like this.

Bai Zhongqi frowned, sent the Riot Control Troops into midair to capture those armed individuals, while reinforcement Riot Control Troops stepped in to calm and disperse the completely chaotic scene.

Simultaneously, at all large-scale gathering sites around the world, Bai Zhongqi began his action; the Riot Control Troops moved in unison, starting to disperse all the protesters. Tear gas, sonic cannons, and other traditional riot control tools were put to use, and after letting them run riot for three days, Bai Zhongqi finally took action to control the situation.

Zero, with a face expressing satisfaction, said, "We really should have done this sooner, before they could organize."

Bai Zhongqi's expression was far from as relaxed as when the protests had first started; instead, it was slightly solemn.

Ling saw his demeanor and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you worried that the situation will continue to spiral out of control?"

Bai Zhongqi shook his head and said, "I actually don't take such riffraff seriously at all. Let them make trouble as they wish. After all, it's the pioneering stage of the Star Alliance. The citizens of the Star Alliance are still unable to fully accept that things from the old era are being replaced. My original plan was to let them cause a ruckus until most people grow tired of them. Once things settle down, I'll just relocate this group of people to other Administrative Stars, once and for all."

His plan was actually very simple: no matter how these people stirred up trouble, it was like scratching a boot for him and the Star Alliance. Since its establishment, the Star Alliance had not fundamentally relied on human labor but had focused on machines instead. Almost all machines were controlled by Bai Zhongqi, and even if millions of people took to the streets, more than half of these people were unemployed in the era of the Star Alliance. The various production and living activities of the Star Alliance continued as usual, warships were built as usual, and all kinds of materials were produced as usual.

Gradually, people would realize that their importance to the Star Alliance was far less than they thought. As parasites supported by the state, their foolish attempts to dismantle the state's platform could not last long.

Even now, most people had not joined in this ridiculous, foolish charade but were living their everyday lives.

However, on this day, Bai Zhongqi's mood suddenly became uneasy; he sensed something unclear but deeply troubling.

He could no longer let the situation further deteriorate while preparing for battle; Earth needed basic unity to deal with the three great enslavers.

"Sometimes, I truly think humans are a hopelessly foolish species. It was said before that a common enemy could unify people with differences to fight together. But now, it seems we were united only during the Teizene War. When the military power of the Star Alliance makes us seem strong enough, and the three great enslavers sound intimidating but their shadows of invasion are not yet seen, some folks with unclear minds have already hurried to further their own ambitions under the guise of preparing the Star Alliance," Bai Zhongqi said, his lips curling into a mocking smile.

Ling could see Bai Zhongqi's anger and continued, "Previously, people didn't understand what exactly the Star Alliance was, but over three years, they learned what the Star Alliance could achieve and what kind of power it held. However, once they grasped it, they began demanding more, striving for more status. Whether they're people who have gained benefits or those who have lost them, along with this group who supposedly fight for ideals. In essence, they are willing to prioritize their differences over the Star Alliance."

Bai Zhongqi snorted, a trace of coldness in his eyes, "If it were any other civilization experiencing such ideological factionism within its structure, they might fight to the death until a uniform thought was achieved before moving forward. But in the Star Alliance, they have nothing; what they have is also given by me. Just with a so-called public opinion that replaces the majority with the minority, and self-perceived superiority over true equality, do they think they can force the Star Alliance government to step back, forcing me to hand over my power? Is that even possible?"

"So, the real foolishness of these people is in picking an opponent they cannot defeat, yet thinking they can win," Bai Zhongqi swept away.
