Chapter 556: The Beginning and End of the Bakar Civil War (Catch-Up)
But at this critical moment, the "Anti-Union Organization" in Bakar stepped forward!
Cindy Doppler, through the internet, delivered a heartfelt speech to the entire nation.
In his speech, he emphasized:
"We, the Anti-Union Organization, are dedicated to the people.
Imagine if this invasion of Earth continues. The retaliation and terror attacks from Earth humans will never stop. More and more people will die, like those in the slums of Trener City. Will it be hundreds of thousands? Millions? Or even more? I don't know.
Even if we win this war, what then?
The war's spoils will be divided among the top elites of the strongest nations. Ordinary citizens will bear the brunt of the casualties, wartime taxes, and forced conscription, yet they will receive none of the war's benefits.
That's why we formed the organization to oppose the government and this invasion!
You might ask, if we end the war, how will we coexist with Earth humans?
My answer is simple—peaceful coexistence!
Our technology is far more advanced, and our psychic abilities are far superior. We can gradually sell our technology and training methods to them, helping them develop Earth's resources.
This way, ordinary citizens will benefit from development, not be exploited by the elites, and won't have to pay the terrible cost of war.
The war is about to begin, and once it starts, there's no turning back.
So, I hope especially those at the bottom of society will stand up and defend our rights!"
Cindy Doppler's words quickly spread across the nation through the internet, causing a massive stir!
The ordinary citizens of Bakar finally saw the truth.
Indeed! The benefits of war will be taken by the Solar Empire and the Renkter Alliance, leaving ordinary people with nothing but death. Why should they support this invasion?
Thus, the people of Bakar spontaneously organized protests, taking to the streets to support Cindy Doppler's stance.
Soon, massive demonstrations against the war spread to all 67 major cities across the nation.
Cindy Doppler's popularity naturally soared!
According to the latest polls, the support rate for the Anti-Union Party skyrocketed from 37% to 58%, and it was still rising, a rare occurrence in history!
With such support, the upcoming election in two weeks was all but guaranteed. Unless Cindy Doppler did something reckless, he was sure to become the Prime Minister!
Internationally, Cindy Doppler also gained significant support.
Initially, his speech was heavily censored by major global media outlets, and most videos on video-sharing platforms were quickly deleted. The Renkter Alliance and the Solar Empire did not want such voices to be heard.
However, on the fourth day after his speech, the new king of the southern nation of Makaton suddenly announced his support for Cindy Doppler.
He went even further, declaring that Makaton would withdraw from the Skrull Union and recall its troops from the Skrull Expeditionary Force.
The king's actions were beyond the control of the major media outlets.
His words, along with Cindy Doppler's stance, quickly spread worldwide, sparking widespread discussion.
Countless people across the globe were convinced by Cindy Doppler's words, and he received widespread support.
No one was willing to sacrifice their lives to benefit the elites.
Seeing Cindy Doppler's support rate steadily rise, the ruling party of Bakar was thrown into a state of panic.
If this continues, they will lose the election and their majority in Congress.
Worse still, Cindy Doppler is a highly skilled politician. If he takes office and performs well, it’s clear that their party will have no chance of a comeback in the next few elections!
Over the next two weeks, they tried every possible tactic to undermine Cindy Doppler's support.
For instance, they accused him of sexual assault, discrimination against the LGBT community, tax evasion, and inciting populism. They used every dirty trick in the book.
But the public wasn’t buying it. They didn’t listen, and Cindy Doppler’s "Anti-Union Organization" maintained a steady 60% approval rating in the polls.
With the election day drawing near, the ruling party leader, the current Prime Minister of Beck, Hans Gro, made a decision that went against all his principles—seeking external help.
He called the leaders of the Lencote Alliance and the Sun Emperor Manina XIII, seeking assistance from the "G2."
The "G2" would not stand idly by in such a situation.
Manina immediately told Hans Gro, "Launch a military coup. Take this opportunity to eliminate Cindy Doppler and his party completely. The Sun Empire will support you unconditionally and provide the necessary military aid."
"A military coup?" Hans Gro was shocked.
He had sought help from the "G2," but a military coup was too extreme, wasn’t it?
The interim Speaker of Lencote, Gudric, heard Manina’s words and immediately agreed, "Gro, I share the same view as Emperor Manina. If you launch a military coup now, we will provide ample military support. The only requirement is to completely eliminate Cindy Doppler and his 'Anti-Union Organization.'"
Hans Gro thought for a long time.
Finally, he replied, "Alright, Your Majesties, I will return and prepare for the coup."
With the backing of the G2, Hans Gro felt bolder.
On the night before the election, he contacted a portion of the military and launched a military coup, aiming to purge Cindy Doppler and the Anti-Union Organization.
But the news leaked early, giving Cindy Doppler time to prepare.
Cindy Doppler secretly left Beck City the night before the coup and went into hiding in the western mountains.
He also contacted the military and people who supported him, setting up a counter-encirclement against Hans Gro in Beck City!
A full-scale civil war erupted in Beck.
For the next two weeks, Beck was in a state of total civil war.
Cindy Doppler, with the support of the majority of the people and the military, advanced swiftly, retaking Beck City and routing Hans Gro’s forces.
However, Hans Gro had the backing of the G2.
The G2 supplied him with a large number of troops and resources and even sent dozens of high-ranking cultivators to oversee the operations.
With the G2’s support, Hans Gro used these advanced weapons to push back, even regaining control of Beck City at one point.
But now, the high-ranking cultivators within Beck had chosen sides.
They had previously stayed out of politics, but seeing the G2 meddle in their country’s affairs, they had no choice but to stand up and fight.
With the addition of these powerful cultivators, Cindy Doppler once again pushed the front lines beyond Beck City.
The civil war in Beck entered a stalemate.
