Chapter 657: Manina Cracks the "Anti-Union Movement"
Chapter 657: Manina Cracks the "Anti-Union Movement"
After making their decision, the Grand Cultivators boarded supersonic fighters and quickly gathered in the Gagaso Mountain region.
However, on Blue Star, the despair that had just begun to dissipate resurfaced with renewed intensity, quickly spreading among the populace.
The Blue Star United Government did not hide the Skrulls' "Blasting Mining Plan" from the people. For the past seven days, the United Government had been broadcasting the entire war situation to the public.
Upon learning that over 2,000 psychic springs had withered, a wave of despair rapidly engulfed the human world.
Not long ago, the Blue Star cultivators had captured the psychic springs, giving many people a glimmer of hope.
But now, with over 2,000 psychic springs withered, that hope was cruelly snuffed out.
Losing so much psychic energy, what could humans possibly do?
Not only in the real world, but even in the online world, people could not maintain their optimism.
After the news of "over 2,000 psychic springs about to wither" spread, the internet was filled with despair:
"Finished."
"All finished."
"Previously, we thought we could reclaim all the psychic springs and use their abundant psychic energy to fight the Skrulls. Now, all hope is gone."
"Sigh, we are too weak and can't help at all."
"Can Commander K still create a miracle?"
"People in North America, the surrender factions are gaining momentum again. There are many surrender factions distributing leaflets in my building, and no one is stopping them."
"It's time for a change!"
Unlike the despair in the Blue Star populace, the Skrull planet was filled with jubilation.
This time, the Skrulls brought back an unimaginable amount of psychic energy, more than the total extracted in the past six months!
For the entire Skrull planet, this was a significant influx of resources.
The main reason for this was that Blue Star's psychic energy reserves were originally much greater than those of the Skrull planet.
Before the war between Blue Star and the Skrull planet began, the Holy Silver Federation extracted all the psychic energy from Blue Star's mantle.
This was an enormous amount.
The Holy Silver Federation used 20% of this energy to construct the game world, kept 10% to be released from the psychic springs on Blue Star, and took the remaining 70% as "labor fees." Of course, this 70% was taken without the consent of the Blue Star people.
The psychic energy reserves in the game world were roughly equal to those on the Skrull planet, with a similar number of high-level cultivators.
Therefore, the total psychic energy reserves on the Skrull planet were only about 20% of Blue Star's initial reserves.
Thus, the psychic energy released from the springs was more than half of the Skrull planet's total reserves!
The "Blasting Mining Plan" brought back an unimaginable amount of psychic energy, and the Skrull planet was naturally filled with celebration.
After the psychic energy arrived at the transfer station, Emperor Manina XIII summoned all the journalists in Sun City and gave a speech via the internet and media.
In his speech, he said:
"My people, I am your great emperor, Manina XIII.
Just now, the 'Blasting Mining Plan' I initiated has achieved tremendous success! Some may not understand this plan, so let me explain what it is. (Omitted 2,000 words)
The plan has been a complete success, and the amount of psychic energy we have obtained is beyond imagination!
Now, I announce: half of the psychic energy extracted will be used to cultivate a group of high-level cultivators through a talent development program;
The other half will be evenly distributed to all citizens of the member states of the United Government! Each citizen will receive at least 30,000 Sun Coins worth of psychic energy!
If you do not need the psychic energy, you can exchange it for an equivalent amount of Sun Coins when you collect it."
That's all I have to say. I wish our expeditionary force a swift and decisive victory in this war!
Manina's speech quickly spread through various media and online platforms.
For a moment, the entire Skrull world was in an uproar!
In the cities of the Sunfire Empire and its numerous vassal states, countless Skrulls waved their arms excitedly, shouting, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
The Sunfire Coin is the most stable currency on Skrull, and 30,000 Sunfire Coins have incredible purchasing power!
Moreover, every citizen can claim their share, so an average family of four could receive nearly 120,000 Sunfire Coins, equivalent to their family's income for two and a half years! How could the people not be overjoyed?
Manina's popularity among the people soared to unprecedented heights.
The "Anti-Union Movement," which had been gaining momentum online, suffered a crushing defeat. Discussion of the topic plummeted, and what was once a hot topic quickly became a forgotten issue.
In fact, Manina's decision to distribute half of his psychic energy score to the entire population was aimed at suppressing the "Anti-Union Movement."
After Su Yu left Skrull, in the country of Beck, Cindy Doppler successfully became the Speaker of the House. In the small country of Makaton to the south of the Sunfire Empire, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, through his disguise, successfully ascended to the throne of Makaton.
Once in power, they both vigorously promoted the "Anti-Union Movement," which grew in influence.
The core message of the "Anti-Union Movement" was to oppose the exploitation by the Skrull Union Government and the aggression against Earth.
The central idea was that the Skrull Union Government's war against Earth benefited only the upper echelons of the government, while the lower classes received no benefits and would become casualties in the conflict. Therefore, they called for a united front to oppose the war and the exploitation by the Union Government.
The "Anti-Union Movement" had been particularly popular on Skrull's internet recently because people had noticed that as the war began and the country entered a wartime economy, the lives of ordinary citizens were deteriorating, and they were receiving no benefits from the war. This led many to stand up in opposition.
From Manina's perspective, the "Anti-Union Movement" had a significant impact both domestically and in other member states. Specifically, anti-war sentiments were rising, the cost of conscription was increasing, and the military's willingness to fight was declining.
To counter the "Anti-Union Movement," Manina XIII decided to distribute half of his psychic energy to the population.
After this distribution, every citizen received a substantial benefit, and they knew that following the Union Government in plundering Earth would bring even more rewards. The "Anti-Union Movement" was thus doomed to fail.
And that's exactly what happened.
After his speech spread through the media and online, the praise for Manina was overwhelming, both online and in the real world. No one mentioned the "Anti-Union Movement," and even when it was brought up, no one wanted to discuss it.
Instead, many countries that had not yet joined the Skrull Union Government were now seeking to join due to public pressure.
In the struggle against the "Anti-Union Organizations," Manina XIII finally turned the tide, and it was a resounding victory!
