The Red Empire's home planet, Talen Hamill Palace.

The Imperial Assembly Hall is the venue for various large-scale ceremonial events, and the handover ceremony of each Imperial Head of State is held here as usual, and is broadcast to the whole universe.

The venue has been arranged, and the seats below are full, basically all of them are remote projections, including high-ranking officials within the empire, leaders of civilizations affiliated with allies, and envoys of brilliance and ethereal spirits.

Super A-class allies were also invited to attend, sitting in the middle and back area, next to the Imperial lineage.

Han Xiao was on the left and right sides of Kant and Lao Long, and the ceremony had not yet begun, and the three of them were still talking with each other.

"Another term has passed in a blink of an eye, and Ulanriel is also going to retire." Kant sighed.

"I've been through a total of four Imperial Heads of State, and although Ulanriel is not the wisest among them, he is the best to get along with, and he is as good as a stream."

Milizaus muttered to himself that as a member of the Ancients, his life was ...... Long Sheng has a wealth of experience.

"Yes, this is the first time I have witnessed the change of head of state."

Han Xiao was quite interested.

In his previous life, the player couldn't reach this level, and it was the first time he had experienced this kind of event in person, and he felt fresh.

- Although I am stronger than most of the super A-class in the universe, I am still a baby.

At this time, Kant pouted in front of him and whispered: "See, that is the new head of the empire, do you know who he is?" ”

"I don't know." Milizaus shook his head.

Han Xiao also looked over, and the seat of the new head of state was next to Ulan Ruier, and from his angle, he could only see a burly back.

Long before today's handover ceremony, the change of power at the top level of the empire was determined internally, and the road had already been paved, but according to the practice of the empire, the identity of the new leader was still kept secret from the outside world, and the allies had no way of knowing before today.

However, Han Xiao was not in this case, he had long known who this imperial head was.

After chatting for a while, gradually approaching the time for the ceremony to begin, the voices in the hall became quieter, slowly disappeared, and everyone sat up straight.

When the time came, the solemn atmosphere was already full, and the senior official presiding over the meeting stood up, first expressing the Empire's welcome to the attendance, and then announcing the official opening of the ceremony.

The ceremony of handing over the head of the empire follows the style of its own civilization, and the process is simple, not as cumbersome as the bells and whistles of the Glorious Federation.

One link after another, and finally came to the highlight of the handover, and Ulanriel delivered a resignation speech.

In full view of everyone, Ulanriel stepped onto the podium, she was dressed in a modest Imperial uniform today, her hair was coiled high, and there was nothing unusual about her.

She looked around the venue for three seconds and slowly spoke:

"Today's scene reminds me of the day I became the head of the Empire, with the same spirit, the same confidence, the same belief that I could make the empire better, so many years later, the original vision has been realized in a different way, and I can proudly tell myself that I have lived up to my original beliefs and the expectations that the Empire expected of me.

Looking back, we have made many achievements in the fields of politics, economy, and cosmic security, and the biggest achievement is the development of the shining world, which will lay the foundation for the future development of the empire. In the course of the development of the Empire, we have been fortunate to meet more like-minded partners and more allies who help each other, and the achievements of the Empire are not my personal credit, but the result of the joint efforts of every Empire colleague, and I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your contributions. ”

Ulanriel bowed and performed imperial courtesy, and thunderous applause rang out from the audience.

After a few seconds of applause, Ulanriel straightened up, raised his hand and pressed it to signal that he didn't need to continue applauding, and then continued:

"Of course, the path of the empire is full of obstacles, it is never easy, and we face many challenges.

The empire rose from the end of the world, and our ancestors survived disasters one after another, and finally let us stand tall in the forest of cosmic civilizations and become one of the cornerstones of order to maintain the interstellar society. The golden spirit of the empire has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been imprinted in our genes, and we have solved many difficulties, including intelligent disasters, without fear of hardships and dangers, and have not only maintained the security of civilization itself, but also the security of the universe.

The development trend of the world has always been to advance in twists and turns, and there will be new challenges and new opportunities in the future, and I sincerely wish all the compatriots of the empire to maintain the spirit of the empire in the days to come, and no matter what difficulties they face, they will not flinch and face it with a smile.

Today, as my term of office comes to an end, my responsibilities will be smoothly handed over to the next person at the helm of the Empire, who will continue to perpetuate our great system and continue to fulfill our noble responsibilities to civilization and to the universe.

I believe that the Empire will be as brilliant in his hands, as I believed in myself.

At last...... May the empire endure! ”

With that, Ulanriel bowed again, her resignation speech did not go on long speeches, nor did she boast of exploits, maintaining the usual simplicity of the Empire.

Bang la la la -

In the next second, a tsunami of applause rang out in the audience, giving the greatest praise to a soon-to-be-retired Führer.

Han Xiao also applauded, recalling the scenes with Ulan Ruier in his mind, and secretly sighed.

has known each other for decades, and aside from the factor of identity, the two are more or less friends.

'I'm afraid it's hard to see her again......

After the head of the empire leaves office, he continues to enjoy the same level of treatment, but he has no real power, and generally lives on the home planet of the empire, and basically rarely appears in public, and after his death, he can choose whether to upload backup memories and integrate into the "heroic soul" of the empire's main intelligence.

The applause thundered for a full minute before it slowly stopped, and Ulanriel stepped aside, and the burly new Führer stepped onto the podium and appeared before everyone.

This person has a resolute face, a high hairline, revealing a smooth and round forehead, a burly figure, strong pectoralis major and biceps brachii make the uniform tight, outlining a toned figure, and the whole person exudes a tough and fierce aura, like walking male hormones, at this time full of vigor and ambition.

Marbrus Pierre Statham, the new head of the Empire, was a cadre of the Imperial Party, and then transferred to an administrative position, in charge of the party, from the star commander all the way up to the star cluster leader, and then transferred to the center of the Empire, during the tenure of Ulaniel, he obtained the qualification of the Senate and became one of the candidates for succession, and finally stood out and decided to take over as the head of state.

Relevant information flashed through Han Xiao's mind, this person was the head of the empire that players were most familiar with in his previous life.

Ulanreal is half an outlier, and people like Marbrus are actually the normal painting style of the head of the empire, and among the previous heads of state, there are the most people in this style.

Marbrus looked around the audience, briefly introduced himself, and then said solemnly:

"I have a great deal of respect for Ulanriel's contributions over the years, and she owes a lot of money to the Empire's success. And for many years to come, I will be at the helm of the Empire, just as she believes in me, I believe in myself, and I will live up to my mission and carry the Empire forward......"

His tone was intensely confident and eloquent.

Unlike his resignation speech, his inaugural speech was much longer than his resignation speech, in that he analyzed the current situation, looked forward to the future, told his political ideas, emphasized the development line of the empire, and set his own goals for governance.

Han Xiao summed up a rough idea, the key words are "strengthening the centralization of power", "strengthening regional control", "expanding military power", "leading multi-field cooperation", "reducing unnecessary waste of resources", etc., which is a big change from the policy of Ulanriel during his reign, with more emphasis on the empire's control over different fields.

Many of the guests present did not show any expression on their faces, but in fact, they had already made waves in their hearts.

If the empire changes its development course, many forces will also be profoundly affected, and the hard-line ideas of the new Führer are naturally not good news for them, and now it is just a precautionary shot for them.

Many super A-level allies also had flashing eyes.

"I didn't expect the new head of state to be so rigid, I thought he would choose to seek stability when he first ascended the throne." Kant muttered quietly.

"People say this, it must be the internal qi of the empire, and there is no opinion within the empire, can we, outsiders, still influence the appointment of the leaders of the three major civilizations? His position was already secure. Milizaus shook his head.

"Alas, my honeymoon period with the Empire is probably coming to an end."

Han Xiao shook his head, vaguely having this premonition.

The reason why Ulanriel trusts him so much is because they have experienced events together and established a relationship of mutual trust, and Marbrus and himself have never tasted each other in their lives, even if they value themselves, they will not be as good at talking as Ulanryl.

But it's enough, after decades of cooperation dividends, the Black Star Legion has completed its rise, as long as the status quo is maintained, he is quite satisfied.

Everyone has their own calculations, and on the surface, they still make a posture of watching carefully, and they don't show their faces.

It didn't take long for the handover ceremony to come to an end, and Ulanreal and Marbrus shook hands to announce the completion of the transfer of imperial authority, and the scene was frozen in the photograph.

On February 15, 740 in the Xinghai calendar, the head of the Red Empire was replaced, Ulanriel stepped down, and the empire entered the era of Marbrus.

Two days later, the Korn Radiant Federation also held a re-election ceremony, Badr resigned from the presidency, and a new Korn Radiant Federation president took the throne, named Louis Lodge.

Two of the three major civilizations have changed leaders together in just a few days, and the entire interstellar community has erupted into heated discussions, with most of the interstellar citizens analyzing what changes this will bring to their lives.

And on the third day, Han Xiao finally received an invitation from Marbrus for a one-on-one meeting.

……

Han Xiao's remote projection came to the Führer's office, and Marbrose was already sitting in the seat where Ulanriel had been, and the personal guard beside him had not changed, and it was still Cloti.

"Black Star, I've admired my name for a long time."

Marbros smiled with a masculine semblance.

"Your Excellency." Han Xiao also bowed his head and said hello.

"You're a legend in the universe, I've always wanted to meet you, and today I finally got my wish." Marbourse's tone was heroic, and his attitude was quite polite.

Seeing this, Han Xiao also blew up with him.

In Han Xiao's opinion, Marbrose had just become the head of state and needed to meet with every important person in the empire, and this meeting was just a simple acquaintance, without any special purpose.

The two chatted for a while, and then Marbrus made the point.

"I will not change the agreement between Ulanriel and you, the territory that has been allocated to you, the empire will not interfere in the future, and I will not stop your support, so you can rest assured."

"Hehe, I have always believed that the empire is fair and just, and that every effort is worth something, and I have never doubted it." Han Xiao opened his mouth to talk about the scene.

Marbours grinned, and suddenly the conversation changed, "Regarding the issue of the Super A-level Association, it is still being discussed within the empire, if you have any opinions, you can always ask me, and I will consider them as appropriate." ”

Han Xiao's heart moved, he kept smiling, just nodded and did not answer.

The two chatted a few more words before Marbrose expressed his intention to end the conversation.

Han Xiao was about to say goodbye and leave, when he suddenly glanced at Crotty and said with a smile: "I wonder if His Excellency the Dark Emperor can send me?" ”

"You have a remote projection, what is there to give?"

Crotty frowned.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that Marbrose nodded to him, so he had to lead Han Xiao out of the room.

Closing the door, Han Xiao looked at Crotty and asked curiously, "How is Ulan Ruier?" ”

"She? Joined the Senate. Crotty wondered, "Why are you asking this?" ”

The Red Empire is different from the Radiant Federation, the Imperial Senate has no deliberative power, at most it can only be responsible for cultivating successors, it is really a place for retirement, and there is little contact with the outside world.

"I'm just curious, but why are you still the Führer's personal guard, and haven't you been transferred?" Han Xiao smiled.

"No, it was originally when Gao De grew up, it was possible that he would take over, but now that he is gone, the other descendants have their own positions, and they can't be easily transferred, so I can only continue to be a personal guard."

Crotty shook her head, although she still had a cold face, but her tone was somewhat helpless.

While the two were chatting outside the door, Marbros in the Führer's office looked at the closed door, and a twinkle of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

"My predecessor really left me with a problem, there are too many things you call for Blackstar......"

As a representative of the hardliners, Marbrus doesn't like the Black Star, an outward ally that is too powerful to be controlled.

But for now, he doesn't plan to do anything to Blackstar, so he can only maintain the status quo and wait for the future.

Marbour still remembers Baker Rodi's return, and the high hopes of Gao De may have been planted in the hands of Black Star, although he doesn't know whether it is true or not, but there is an example of the Weapon Country in front of him, and he has already given birth to a wariness of Black Star.
