At 8 o'clock in the morning on February 9, 4114 A.D., the Chrysanthemum Cult issued a chrysanthemum manifesto to the world.

The manifesto listed a total of thirteen counts against the headquarters of the Alliance, so it was later called the Thirteen-Point Declaration.

In terms of content, it mainly refers to the long-term discriminatory and suppressive attitude adopted by the alliance headquarters towards Dongri, so that the remnants of Dongri have been living at the bottom of the entire alliance.

Specifically, they did not allow Dongri to have their own large settlement, and used false accusations to force Dongri to hand over their best scientists in the Mecha Tournament.

At the end of the manifesto, the Chrysanthemum Cult called on all the remnants of the East Japan to fight together, and suggested that all large and small settlements belonging to the East Japan region should be separated from the jurisdiction of the Alliance in protest.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the chief executive of the 19 settlements in the Tohnichi region announced to the whole Union via satellite television that the entire Tohnichi region would no longer be subject to the administrative constraints of the Union.

At 10:30 a.m., Koizumi, the leader of the Chrysanthemum Sect, announced in New Tokyo that he had made a joint decision after consulting with the chief executives of the 19 settlements and 58 large consortia in the Tohnichi area.

Tori will establish the Chrysanthemum Empire, exercise its own jurisdiction, and demand an explanation from the Alliance for the injustices of the Mecha Tournament.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, 21 settlements in the former Russian region also issued a joint declaration, announcing the establishment of the Great Russian Federation, following in the footsteps of the East and the future, and breaking away from the jurisdiction of the Union.

Then there is North America led by Washington, and Oceania led by Sydney...

As of the time of publication. A total of four large settlements and 87 small and medium-sized settlements declared independence.

The population of these 91 settlements accounts for 21.4 percent of the entire population of the Union, and for the first time since its founding, the Union is on the verge of splitting.

Ma Ping'an looked at the news and frowned slightly.

He really didn't expect that Dongri would make such a big move.

In this way, it seems that war is inevitable.

According to Ma Ping'an's estimate, if it is only the Dongri family, with the financial resources of the alliance headquarters and the combat power of the alliance's special combat team, it should not be difficult to sweep away.

But at this time, the situation is unpredictable.

In case the alliance is defeated, he is now quite valued by the alliance, and naturally he has become one of the targets of these rebels, and the situation is really not too good.

In terms of geographical location, the Dongri region, where the Chrysanthemum Empire is located, is a small land, and if you want to have great development, you must first go through Goryeo and then point to the new Beijing.

If the new Beijing is lost, it will border the Russian Federation to the north, and there will be many rich settlements to occupy in the south.

And in today's rapid development of science and technology, it is only a matter of an instant to hit the new magic capital.

If troubled times really come, strength is the biggest weight to ensure their own safety.

According to the news from the Wild Lion, his influence is still limited to a few settlements.

Although it has gained a certain amount of strength after this period of hard work, the gap is still huge compared to those famous lords who have been operating for hundreds of years.

It's too early to come in this turbulent era...

But under the hidden worries, Ma Ping'an also had a little joy in his heart.

He is also an ambitious person, and his plans are not small, otherwise he would not have deliberately arranged to play the dark chess of the wild lion.

A world in turmoil is more in line with the survival of a careerist like him than a peaceful and stable alliance.

The intentions of the alliance have been revealed at this time, and they must have expected the inevitable conflict with Dongri, so they deliberately erected the heroic image of Ma Ping'an, and used his glorious image to show that the alliance is the righteous side.

Although in this way, for the rebel side, Ma Ping'an has become a thorn in their side, and personal safety will inevitably be threatened.

But on the other hand, as the newly erected hero banner of the alliance, he naturally will not be easily thrown down, so there are so many almost incredible preferential treatments.

IN THE MIDST OF THAT REVERIE, FATSONII. SHOOK SLIGHTLY, AND A PLEASANT FEMALE VOICE CAME FROM THE LOUDSPEAKER ON THE AIRCRAFT.

"The new magic capital airport has arrived."

......

New New York, Liberty Male God Building.

A meeting is taking place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, an hour ago, Washington and twenty-six other settlements in North America issued a joint declaration announcing their separation from the jurisdiction of the Alliance Headquarters, I wonder what you think about this incident?"

At one end of a giant conference table made of black marble, a middle-aged man with blond hair and a dignified appearance asked questions.

On either side of the conference table, sat more than thirty figures of different ages, all of whom had blonde hair and some similarity in appearance and facial features.

Each of them has a small golden lion badge on their left chest, which is the Bush family emblem.

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, no one had a surprised look on their faces, obviously they had already gotten the news.

There was silence in the conference room, and a burly man about forty years old raised his hand and said, "Patriarch, there are forty-eight settlements in the whole of North America, and what is the situation with twenty settlements?"

What about the 27 settlements that have declared independence? ”

The middle-aged man nodded, raised his right hand and beckoned, and a handsome young man beside him stood up and pressed a remote control in his hand.

On the wall at the back of the conference room, a virtual screen lit up, with fragmented images on it.

Each image has a city scene flashing, but each one seems to be taken from a very high square, and it looks like a model of a city.

"This is the real-time situation of the twenty-seven settlements that our satellites have monitored..."

The image of the city begins to zoom in, and then an image jumps out and takes up the entire screen.

"This is Washington, and after the statement was issued, Washington has entered a state of alert and is not allowed to go out except for those with special passes."

"The same is true of several other settlements, where there are more than 26,000 professional soldiers who maintain law and order and vigilance alone, according to reliable sources," the young man said, pointing to the empty streets above the screen.

If we add the other sixteen settlements, the total should be more than 200,000. ”

There was a buzz in the room, and it was clear that many people were taken aback by the number.

The middle-aged man who presided over the meeting coughed lightly twice, signaling quiet, and the young man continued: "This is just a preliminary estimate, and everyone also knows that the Wick family has vigorously developed the underworld forces in recent years, and if you add their men and horses on the underworld, the actual number of people available for use should be far above this." ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man frowned and said, "Old Wick's movements have always been under our surveillance, and the training capacity of his several military training camps does not exceed ten thousand per year.

Even if he has been preparing for ten years, it is only 100,000, where did he get so many professional soldiers? ”

The young man explained, "This includes the men of several other large families, and some of them are mercenaries hired from the major adventuring groups. ”

The middle-aged man nodded and motioned for him to continue, and the young man continued: "Of the twenty-seven settlements, seven are directly controlled by the Wick family, and the other twenty settlements have a total of thirty-nine large and small forces.

According to the information we have received, thirty-one have expressed full obedience to the leadership of the Wick family, and the other eight, which were uprooted last night, have been taken over by the Wick family and their allies. ”

"Uprooted?" An old man next to the middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, seven of these eight forces are also local families, and all the family members died violently last night.

At 22:19 p.m. last night, there was an explosion at their headquarters, and it is said that the leaders of the gang were all meeting at the headquarters at that time, and none of them were spared. ”

The old man's face changed slightly, and he said, "I didn't expect that mother-in-law's old Wick to make such a neat and neat move, and it is really not an ordinary poison..."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Elder Luther, they even dare to rebel, what is the point of killing a few people?" ”

The old man snorted and stopped talking, and the middle-aged man looked at him, and then asked the young man, "First of all, tell me about the situation of the twenty settlements that did not participate in the rebellion." ”

"Good patriarch!"

The old man simply agreed, and pressed the remote control in his hand: "Of these twenty settlements, our family controls nine near New York.

The situation in these nine settlements has been under our close surveillance, and the situation is relatively stable, and the lives of ordinary survivors have not been affected in any way. ”

"The situation in the other eleven settlements is more complicated, these settlements are far away from Washington, and the influence of the Wick family on them is slightly weaker, and most of them are in the wait-and-see stage at this time.

Seven of the actual owners of the settlements had a conference call thirty minutes ago, and the meeting was still in progress, the contents of which are still unknown, but it is likely that some kind of agreement will be reached between them..."

The young man flipped through the pictures on the virtual screen as he spoke, and after introducing them all, he bowed slightly to the middle-aged man, and then sat back.

Many of the things he said were recent, and even if the participants had their own channels, they had just heard about it, and a noisy whisper suddenly rang out in the conference room.

The middle-aged man pondered for a while, then looked up and asked, "Guys, do you think that since the Wick family has come this far, what should be their next goal?" ”

The people who were able to attend the meeting here were all elites of the Bush family, and their reactions were naturally keen, and as soon as his question came out, most of the people's faces became much more serious.

The middle-aged man looked around the conference room for a week, and then said slowly, "That's right, it's us." ”
