Protests, conflicts, confrontations.

Most citizens of the Empire never expected that this common sight in some regions of the New Federation would one day also play out within the Empire.

The cause of this event has become very complex, with the continuous influence of public opinion and the rising emotions of the people, as well as the push from related organizations behind the scenes...

When a Dreadnought, representing the pinnacle of the human armed forces in the Milky Way, arrived at the territory of the White Ghost on Saka Star and aimed its main cannon at the White Ghost, the emotions of the Empire's citizens were completely ignited.

In this vast Empire, nearly one-fifth of the Administrative Stars experienced varying degrees of unrest within just three Galaxy Time.

The first to erupt in support of the White Ghost were the protest activities on Yaha Star.

Three Galaxy Time later, millions of people had gathered in over a dozen major cities on Yaha Star, shouting 'The Ghost is innocent' and holding banners with 'The White Ghost is a messenger of justice', moving from one iconic building to another.

Among them, at least 10,000 people began various forms of live broadcasts.

The protests and demonstrations here were still relatively restrained; people did not riot or destroy property, they merely walked the streets, occupied some public transportation spots, and called for more citizens to join the support ranks for the White Ghost.

Most of the regions experiencing protests in the Empire had such relatively peaceful scenes.

The Sherman Empire has no tradition of public protests, but this time, people took to the streets, driven and guided by some force, using their spontaneous actions to voice support for the White Ghost.

More intriguingly, these protest groups exhibited 'self-learning and evolution'.

No one knows whose idea it was, but a crowd of protesters entered the Space Port on their planet, blocking all routes with human walls, successfully creating immense pressure on the local government.

This method of blocking space traffic affected local order and operations, forcing local governments to step forward with pacifying statements.

Seeing this effective, more and more protest groups began to imitate the tactic, with crowds converging on their planet's Space Port, causing the Empire's passenger routes to collapse by five percent, and this number keeps rising over time.

Such news is incredibly difficult to suppress, no matter who tries and by what means.

Moreover, at the current stage, the Empire cannot seize the initiative in the unified network world it constructed.

On the sixth Galaxy Time after the big march on Yaha Star.

The protests and demonstrations within the Empire had already spread to half of the Administrative Stars. Logically speaking, the Emperor Star Circle, the supposed most stable area, is unexpectedly the 'hardest-hit area' with the largest groups of protesters.

In some edge planets of the Empire's borders, the areas presumed to have the most serious conflicts, many populous planets with over 300 million people failed to gather a protest group exceeding 100,000.

Boss Yang, after obtaining the relevant data, was initially quite puzzled, but soon realized the key issue.

——In the prosperous planets within the Emperor Star Circle, class suppression is most evident, with many nobles and capitalists. The youth and student groups coming from all over the Empire maintain high mental vitality.

Regarding the unrest occurring within the Empire, the New Federation, Free Federation, Guel Alliance, and the small groups behind the three rogues naturally rejoiced.

A sharply critical news article began to spread wildly inside and outside the Empire.

This was an article written by an interstellar journalist from the New Federation, and the title was very eye-catching.

"The Empire is on the brink of civil war".

The subtitle was more pragmatic:

"The struggle of the White Ghost against the Empire is essentially the struggle of the Empire's people against imperial power".

This article sharply pointed out that the central power group of the Empire wanted to assimilate the White Ghost, and after being rejected, became furious, leading to the ridiculous scene of the Dreadnought aiming its cannon at Saka Star.

The article also provided a series of examples detailing how the Imperial Nobles maintain their privileges and the necessity and urgency of assimilating the White Ghost.

In addition, the article clearly explained the causes and consequences of the Dominicos massacre, how the Dominicans live tragically with Slave Status in the Empire today, and listed over a dozen similar massacres the Empire perpetrated in the last thousand years.

If judging solely by this article, people might conclude that this Empire is about to erupt in a bottom-up revolution.

The foreign media have already begun celebrating prematurely.

As for the Empire's billions of people...

Most just pay attention to the matter, with life largely unaffected.

According to Lyu, the current state within the Empire is generally stable, lacking the conditions for large-scale uprisings. To incite internal conflicts quickly, one would have to take multiple approaches simultaneously.

To meet the most basic conditions for an uprising, the most direct method is to inject a large number of unemployed youths into society.

Just like now, people may be indignant over the plight of the White Ghost, vent on the internet, and curse near friends that the Imperial Nobles should die a rotten death; but truly getting the majority to stand up against the Empire, facing starships and ion cannons with flesh and blood, is mere fantasy.

Boss Yang is not in a rush.

This is just the beginning.

Griss sat with a troubled face in front of a projection screen, constantly calling with a communicator:
