Chapter 595: Horn the Savior
Light Star Presidential Palace.
Since the invasion of the Federation could not be stopped, former President Krees Yi embarked on a journey to find shelter everywhere.
Yes, he abandoned all the federal populace and ran away on his own.
This is the first president to run away in the face of difficulties since the establishment of the Federation. That was enough for Kreese to change his name in the history books.
Under such circumstances, the Federal Assembly had to immediately convene presidential elections. Under the circumstances, it was not possible to count the votes of democracy from the habitable planets of each sector, and the only way to do it was to hold an internal election in the Federal Assembly, that is, an internal election.
But everyone knows that at this time, whoever becomes the supreme leader of the federation may not face a position of grand praise and worship, but more likely to become a "sign of destruction" that draws a break for the federation.
Who wants to make this "sign"?
So an internal election became a farce β not for the sake of becoming president, but for the sake of passing the buck to each other.
In the end, the presidency that no one wanted to be nominated for fell on Mr. Charles, who took the initiative to stand up.
Mr. Charles came from a civilian background and held many positions at a young age. Commentators of Tourist Planets, Dispatchers of Mineral Planets, Brewers, New Planet Grassroots Development Research Institute, Geographical Surveyors, Mayors of Planets, Captains of Planets, and more. He had devoted his entire life to the Federation, and it was not until he was nearly sixty years old that he finally had the power to exercise his power as a member of the Legislature as a Planet of Minerals.
And so it went on for another fifty years.
Mr. Charles is now one hundred and ten years old, and although he has gray hair, his long experience at the grassroots level makes him look easy-going and tolerant, and his steady pace and bright eyes make him not seem to be an old man.
Yes, according to the average life expectancy of the population of the Federal Empire, he can still support ninety years old.
But people who are over 100 years old are already of retirement age in the law.
Mr. Charles's standing up in such a time of crisis is beyond everyone's imagination.
Almost all the "old people" who are the same age as him and have the ability to leave this star field think of the best way is to quietly leave here and find a habitable planet to retire, rather than standing up at this time and letting themselves be unable to protect themselves in the future.
But Mr. Charles stepped up.
At the presidential inauguration, he said clearly and forcefully -
"I'm a 110-year-old, and I don't think the Federation has come to a strange place. I will do everything in my power to save the home of all of usβthe land from which I was born, raised, and dedicated my life, and there is no reason for me to abandon her before my life is at an end. If you think the same way, don't give up hope. We are not defeated, we can fight again. β
These words have aroused some enthusiasm in the people, so that the federation will not continue to collapse in the short term.
Immediately after Mr. Charles took office, he began alliance talks with the Empire, which were very successful, and the two sides abandoned all previous grievances and prejudices and sought maximum cooperation, even sharing information about genetic people.
When he learned that the Federation had sent a death squad to find the lair of Organization K, the Imperial Marshal sighed, "You have the courage to find an ethereal planet and take on so many scientific talents. β
Mr. Charles did not reveal the reason for sending this death squad to find a special genetic person, and the convening of the death squad was initiated by the partner of this genetic person - this inevitably seems to be a bit more affectionate for the federal princess.
After the failure of the Empire's all-out counterattack against the K-Formation, Mr. Charles was not discouraged.
Despite running out of resources for counter-offensives, K-Camp paused their offensive - perhaps because they needed to recuperate.
But the hearts of the Federation, which had been hard to coalesce, thought that this defeat would inevitably begin to collapse.
Confidence is not easy, but it can be destroyed in a moment.
Mr. Charles's calm figure after his inauguration as president was inevitably a little unstable, and his clenched fist hanging on his right side couldn't help but tremble slightly.
It was at this time that Horn suddenly appeared in front of him.
Mr. Charles looked at the tall boy in front of him, and his mind returned to the memories of a series of events that had happened since he became president.
"Is Horn here?" Mr. Charles smiled at Horn, pointed to the chair in front of him, and said, "Sit down." β
Horn sat down and nodded to Mr. Charles, "Good afternoon, Mr. President, I don't know if you want to see me in person, is there anything important?"
Since the start of the Horn program, Horn has become the central figure of the entire scientific research institute, and he has been specially responsible for clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and the security arrangements around him have reached a level comparable to that of the president.
Such a busy person, except for the researchers who are researching together, under normal circumstances, no one else can easily see him.
Naturally, Mr. President rarely asked to see him.
That's why Horn asked.
Mr. Charles paused, put his hands crossed on the table, and organized the language before saying, "Horn, the death squad has been missing for five years. β
A faint smile on Horn's face paused slightly.
"Counting the period before the death squad left, your sister has been missing...... It's been almost six years, right?"
Horn didn't say anything, and Mr. Charles sighed lightly: "According to the provisions of federal law, if you have not heard from you for two years, you can be considered a ......"
Death.
Horn silently mentally made up for Mr. Charles' unfinished words.
"Horn. Mr. Charles said softly, "I don't deny that they just lost their tracks, and maybe they didn't really die." We should pray with such hope in mind. Butβ"
Mr. Charles said mildly: "But can you, not at this stage research on the supernatural program that connects the entire universe? You know, all our current efforts are to get rid of the infestation of the K-Formation, and destroy this powerful terrorist organization that wants to destroy us, rather than spending all our resources in the other direction." β
Mr. Charles sighed heavily: "The invasion of the planet along the way of Amanlangen is enough to make people anxious. β
As president, Mr. Charles faced a "bad thing" that no president had ever faced, and during his tenure, he was approached by almost all matters related to the survival of the Union.
The K-organization invasion was one of them, and the invasion of the planets by Oman Langan and the start of interstellar voyages to invade more planets was the second.
The former may still be able to find a way to delay the settlement, and the latter, so far, the entire Federation is helpless.
"The relocation and planting of Oman root is the biggest mistake made by policymakers. β
