Shock

"Whom do you represent?" Speaker Delrin asked.

"Many, most of what you think of, perhaps all of them."

Delrin nodded knowingly. It seemed that this was an inevitable trend, and he would have little chance of stopping it.

Seeing that Delrin seemed to understand, Munro finally offered his bargaining chip. "Your Excellency, after your term ends, the military will hire you as a political advisor. Our structure is severely lacking in people like you. Perhaps you will continue your governing career elsewhere."

The pie was delicious, but he didn't know if it was poisonous. Regardless, Delrin couldn't resist it.

"General Munro, what was the timing you were referring to?"

"You just need to wait. When the time comes, you'll understand," General Munro said meaningfully, a slight smile appearing on his usually stern face. "You'll like it. It will also solve a major problem you're facing. Consider it a gift from us."

Although General Munro's expression was somewhat strange, Delrin did not press the matter further. He stood up and extended his palm.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Both hands are clenched above the desk.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. At first, Speaker Delrin looked forward to the opportunity every day, not understanding where General Munro and his group's confidence came from.

Therefore, he was very curious about it.

For several months, things remained calm, and he did not witness any event that could be considered a turning point.

If he hadn't secretly probed his secretary, Ram, and confirmed that General Munro had indeed come that day, he would have thought it was all a dream.

The passage of time eroded his curiosity.

The Riken Race currently has one Mother Planet and three Colony Star, with a total population exceeding 20 billion. As the publicly acknowledged supreme commander, he is extremely busy.

Especially recently, the people in the Trimble District have been pressing him relentlessly, causing trouble from time to time, which has seriously affected his daily work and life.

This left him overwhelmed with problems every day.

Surprises always come unexpectedly.

Or rather, frightened.

A small meteorite, three kilometers in diameter, inexplicably broke through layers of defense and monitoring. By the time the Riken Person discovered it, it was already 300,000 kilometers away from their Mother Planet.

That distance was covered in the blink of an eye.

Before the important figures of the Riken Race could even get out of bed and rush to the conference room, the meteorite had already entered the atmosphere, and the huge flames it generated were clearly visible across the entire hemisphere.

The military urgently deployed defensive forces to intercept it, but due to the suddenness of the event, there were very few armed forces within range. Beams of red light shot into the sky, but these small-caliber anti-aircraft firepower could only chip away at the meteorite and could hardly cause it any major damage.

The Riken Race Mother Planet also has orbital defense weapons deployed, but these energy-intensive weapons require pre-charging and are suddenly rendered useless.

Logically, with the observation technology of the Riken Race, meteorites like this would have been detected hundreds of millions of kilometers away, allowing them to calmly calculate their trajectory, adjust their defensive weapons, and recharge them to destroy them.

However, this meteorite was discovered too late, rendering many defensive weapons unusable.

Just as the experts sat down to discuss the environmental hazards of detonating Nuclear Bomb in the atmosphere, the meteorite had already passed through the atmosphere and was hurtling toward the ground with immense force.

The military activated its emergency plan, skipping all approval processes, and deployed several special operations teams. More than a dozen individual Tactical Nuclear Bomb were launched towards the meteorite.

With a deafening roar, it seemed as if several suns had appeared in the sky. After the meteorite passed through the atmosphere, the remaining two kilometers of its main body were successfully shattered.

The meteorite was shattered into hundreds of pieces, and a meteor shower burst forth from the solar system. Most of the meteorite fragments were too small to pose a threat.

However, a portion of the metal, approximately 500 meters in diameter, was forged into a more solidified state by the high temperature and then slammed violently into the ground.

The impact tore the earth apart, sending up towering dust clouds and a mushroom cloud rising slowly, with shockwaves raging over a radius of more than 100 kilometers.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency Speaker, the security level here has been raised to the highest level. All the surveillance equipment is disabled. Even if you were to run naked here, nothing would be revealed," Munro said calmly in the Speaker's office, watching Speaker Delrin inspect the surveillance equipment.

"Are you all crazy?" Speaker Delrin was somewhat frantic. He leaned close to General Munro and roared in a low voice.

With such a major incident, his workload suddenly increased several times over. He had to coordinate rescue efforts from all sides, investigate what happened, hold press conferences, and so on. All these things left him overwhelmed.

But just now, General Munro suddenly arrived and asked him if he liked the gift.

He wanted to yell, "Like my ass!" but thinking about the madness of these people, he kept his mouth shut. At the same time, he understood what that so-called opportunity really was.

These lunatics actually used a meteorite to blow up the Trimble District. That place, a den of filth and darkness that had been giving him a splitting headache lately, became history just half an hour ago.

He initially genuinely believed it was an accident and was overjoyed, but the information revealed by General Munro made him realize it was deliberate. When he first heard the news, he thought it was an April Fool's joke, but looking at Munro's serious expression, he found it hard to believe it was a joke.

"Aren't you afraid of bombing the wrong place?"

"No." Munro shook his head firmly. "We've done meticulous calculations. The selection and modification of the meteorite were monitored throughout. Its flight speed, angle of impact, the location of the subsequent bomb explosion, and even the weather conditions were all simulated hundreds of times in advance using supercomputers to ensure absolute safety."

"Your Excellency Speaker, you should like this gift; we've solved a major problem for you."

While Munro was right to some extent, Delrin was far from happy. He had solved one problem, but created an even bigger one.

This incident has completely tied him to the other side's agenda. If he doesn't want to get on board, he might end up being blamed for the entire plan tomorrow.

And all sorts of evidence, witnesses, and testimonies would unexpectedly surface, leaving him speechless. He didn't know if cooperating with these lunatics was the right thing to do, but now he had no choice.

"What should we do next?" Delrin asked, somewhat frustrated.

"Just do what you're supposed to do, and everything will fall into place. You know, we have quite a few allies. Everyone will do their part." Munro gestured with his hands, making a large circle.

I hope so.
