Remember in one second to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This is truly the longest day... Reapers attack from all sides, and the flames of war burn along the repeater network throughout the galaxy!
To the "Kate's Nest" nebula in the south, to the "Mouth of Valhalla" in the north; to the "Callestone Rift" in the east, and to the "Halo Star Cluster" in the west; as long as there is a world with active civilization, no matter it is the "Citadel Star" Domain" or "World God Star Domain", the Reaper fleet can be seen everywhere. They range from a few Destroyers to thousands of "Overlords" swaggering past, raising their butcher's knives at countless civilized worlds!
In one day, one-third of the well-documented civilized races in the Citadel that had entered the galaxy disappeared... In the world swept by the Reapers, apart from the ruins of ruins, there was only deathly silence!
On this day, in addition to the Star Alliance fleet, it can generally ensure that the organization is intact. Whether it is the Asari, Salarian or Turian fleets, they have all been fatally attacked by the Reaper fleet! The three major races lost more than half of their main battleships! Half of the reason for such consequences is the strength of the Reaper fleet; the other half is the rebellion of the "civilized" traitors, leaving the three major races with few secrets when facing the Reapers.
As the intensity of resistance increased, the all-out Reaper fleet began to gather into four major groups, preparing to concentrate their efforts on destroying the four major races of the Citadel first. Although the Star Alliance suffered the least losses, it was in the worst shape among the four major races. First of all, for unknown reasons, the Reapers placed 70% of their fleet on the side of the Star Alliance; secondly, compared with the traditional large depth of the three major races, the home star of the Star Alliance The earth has no barriers except a repeater.
Don't think that the tactic of warship collision can really "make a difference" - there is a code prohibiting collision hidden in the quality core of the warship, which just shows that the Reapers have already encountered this tactic. In the history of the galaxy, no civilization has been able to escape the harvest of the reapers, and none has even caused major damage. This only shows that this tactic has been cracked...
In fact, even General Hackett. I can also think of four or five ways to deal with this "crash tactic"... It is impossible to save a war by relying on a single tactic. It's as ridiculous and pathetic as relying on a certain weapon.
Shepard drove the "Normandy" to leave the Arcturus Space Station, breaking through numerous Reapers' pursuits and interceptions along the way, and luckily arrived at the Citadel before the Reapers invaded! But the Citadel Council turned a deaf ear to his alarm - except for representatives of the Star Alliance. The other three major races are like this no matter how much evidence Sister Xue provides! They are like people pretending to sleep, even though their eyes are open, they are indeed blind!
Sister Xue was so angry that she almost vomited blood - all her efforts were in vain!
In the end, the three major races still suffered heavy losses in the first round of attacks!
But when Star Alliance Councilor Udina teamed up with Shepard and asked the three major races to fulfill their responsibilities as allies and immediately rescue the Star Alliance, they received a slap in the head! All three major races expressed clear rejection...
*****
This was also the most difficult day for Udina, Shepard, and the Citadel Councilors. ←Baidu search→
"...We need to unite, more than ever!" in the parliament hall. Shepard was still holding back his anger and trying to persuade these councilors.
Although General Hackett once said that there was no need for her to ask for help from the Citadel. But when the Reapers arrived on Earth and the situation worsened to an unprecedented degree, she and Senator Udina had to do this. Despite feeling humiliated, Shepard persisted. "The Reapers will not stop on Earth! Their purpose is to destroy the entire galaxy's civilization. If we don't stop them, humans will be just the first victims."
"Do you really think we can defeat the Reapers?" the turian councilor asked. Sister Xue opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything against her will.
"Put your hands on the table in front of you and open the Citadel Convention!" Udina, the Citadel Councilor of the Star Alliance, replaced Shepard. Jisheng said sternly. "Mutual rescue is the obligation of every council member! This has nothing to do with whether we can defeat the Reapers! Besides, if we don't unite, we will never find a way to defeat the Reapers!"
"Perhaps you are right, Senator Udina." Senator Asari waved her hand to stop Udina, who was obviously angry, from continuing. "But we have our own problems, first of all we have to protect the borders of our race. The cruel and unfortunate fact is... Only when the Reapers are concentrated on attacking the Earth do we have time to retrain and deploy our troops..."
"I'm sorry." This time it was Congressman Salarian, and he was indeed apologizing sincerely. But...does an apology mean anything?
"I'm so sorry!" Sister Xue slammed the electronic board in her hand to the ground! "Farksquid!" She pointed at the Salarian senator and shouted, then moved her finger to the face of the Asari senator, "Farksquid. too! I'll fuck all of you!" Sister Xue suddenly went crazy, Everyone was petrified. "The Star Alliance has saved all of your lives! But at this time...will you only think about yourself?!"
Anyone who has a bit of shame will not feel good when being pointed at and scolded, not to mention that the three congressmen are decent people.
Sister Xue glanced around at the expressions of the three people. She saw that although they looked a little ashamed, they had no intention of changing their ways, and couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment.
"There was a massacre on our planet. When future generations commemorated that incident, they said something like this..." Sister Xue actually calmed down on her own... No, it should be said that she was so disappointed that there was no need to even be angry. .
"In Germany. First they went after the separatists, and I kept silent because I was not a sedentary; then they went after the Jews, and I kept silent because I was not a Jew; then they went after the trade unionists, and I didn't protest because I was not a trade unionist; after that they came after Catholics, but I remained silent because I was a Protestant; and when they finally came to arrest me, no one could stand up and speak for me!"
Sister Xue shook her head disdainfully and left the dark parliament hall without looking back.
"I think, in this case, there is no need for the Star Alliance to stay in the Parliament. We will reconsider this matter." Udina said harsh words that a politician should never say. But he did just that, and followed Shepard's back out of the council chamber.
At this point, the so-called Citadel Council will cease to exist in name only...
"Their emotions are too exciting." Senator Salarian said reluctantly. "Yeah, but we won't mind, right?" the Asari said, "But we'd better...appease." Her eyes turned to the turian councilor.
"I'll take care of it." The Turian Councilor said, "I happen to have something that is suitable for Shepard to do. If she can do it, then it is not impossible for us to join forces to save the earth."
As politicians, they have to consider all possibilities - what if the Star Alliance wins? What if the Reapers were defeated? You must know that it is easy to tear up the "Citadel Covenant", but it will be difficult to stick it back together again when the time comes! What's more, if nothing is done, even the three major races will be separated from each other... Shepard's last words simply pierced the darkest part of his heart!
After all, no matter who you are, you have to consider in your mind whether your own race is the one that will be abandoned next time...

"They are a bunch of bastards! What did we get in exchange for saving them?" In his office, Star Alliance Councilor Udina was still furious. But after more than ten seconds, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Shepard... we must find another way! There must be some breakthrough, think about it... If we don't find some way, 'wait a while' will become 11 billion people (the epitaph of the population on earth) Ming!"
He turned around a few times before clearing his mind and said to Sister Xue. "The Star Alliance has gained some favor. And Shepard, you have helped many people and have a high reputation among many races. Now it is time for them to repay the favor! If we cannot get support from the top, we will start from the bottom. ——Funds, weapons, and of course propaganda, we want everyone to know that the earth is being invaded! We need all the help..."
Congressman Udina has always been a complicated man. In fact, because of his immorality and political face, he was never liked by players in the Mass Effect trilogy - everyone preferred the fighting hero David Anderson. But Lu Yuan and the people on board the Dawn always maintained enough respect for him. Because such a politician has always kept his bottom line of ethics - when the earth was invaded by reapers, he always worked hard to save the earth! This is no different from Hero Shepard!
Even in the end, under the instigation of Cerberus, he launched a rebellion in the Citadel aimed at controlling the Citadel, it was also for this goal! He is just trying to save the earth in his own way - when a person is so desperate that he is driven crazy, of course he can do anything!
Just as he was wandering around like a beast trapped in a cage, the communicator of the multi-purpose tool suddenly rang.
He looked at the number, and then his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets! Udina quickly made a few gestures towards Shepard, and then carefully lifted the multi-purpose tool. He really never thought that one day he would receive a call from this number that he had never been able to get through! It was like a bright light in the eternal dark world... No, it should be the rising sun at the end of the earth, which instantly made Udina burst into tears!
His fingers were a little stiff before he connected to the communication twice in a row. "Hello..." Udina said softly into the phone, as if he was afraid of scaring the person opposite. Listening carefully, it is not difficult to find that his voice is trembling slightly.
Crying, nervous to the point of trembling, respectful to the point of flattery, as a seasoned politician, Udina may be performing worse than a primary school student at this moment.
"Hello, Udina." The voice on the other side sounded refreshing and relaxed. "I am Mu Xing."
——————
ps: Lao Lei still thinks that Udina is a good person. He is capable, ambitious, and has means. He is much better than Anderson. Although he wanted to launch a coup in the Citadel - the gang of naughty council members in the Citadel could be killed no matter how many times they were killed. (To be continued.).
