Centaurs α galaxies.

The Centaur α galaxy is the most important territory of the Raymond Federation, and compared to the solar system where the birthplace of mankind and the nine-star republic is located, this special galaxy is much larger, and within the galaxy, there is a triple star system composed of three stars.

The center of this triad star system is composed of two twin stars that revolve around each other in an orbit with a large eccentricity, while Proxima Centauri, which is about 0.2 light-years away from the binary, orbits around the center of mass of the centaur α binary star in an extremely long period, forming a unique triad star system.

In this triad star system, there are a constellation of more than a dozen planets that orbit around the triad. Among them, five geological planets suitable for life have been developed by humans and have become the administrative stars of the Raymond Federation.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Raymond Federation, it was composed of many small chaebols who were unable to go on expeditions during the Great Voyage Period, and after the founding of the country, the Raymond Federation implemented a federal system of autonomy of each administrative star, so the Raymond Federation was also called the United States of Raymond.

Due to the large number of plutocrats in the country and the vast territory, the administrative stars are almost self-contained, but they are divided into several factions due to the entanglement of interests, so the profession of politician, which was almost extinct in the old era, is once again flourishing on the foreign soil of the Raymond Federation.

Alpha Star.

Alpha Star is the largest of the four geological planets of the Centaur α Star Group, and after the official establishment of the Raymond Federation, Alpha Star was established as the capital star of the Federation, and became the political and economic center of the Raymond Federation.

At this moment, on the high-speed special passage from the Alpha Star Capital Airport to the Manhattan area of the Alpha Capital Area, an extremely luxurious black maglev car is speeding on the empty special road. In the car, a gorgeously dressed man with a short beard was holding his chin and looking thoughtfully at the natural scenery that flew by outside the window.

The man's name was Anselle, and in French, the name means noble birth and good upbringing. And his identity is one of the wealthy families of the Raymond Federation, the first heir to the Osvid family, and the sixth heir to the throne who died in the Battle of Pluto, and Bancroft's half-brother.

Among the many wealthy families of the Raymond Federation, the arms magnate Osvid is undoubtedly the aristocracy, and the Osvid family actually holds the ruling power of an administrative star. In the Federation, the dominance of the Osveld family was once unshakable, but this time, the defeat of the Federation army on Pluto caused the position of the Osveld family to be shaken somewhat, so that Ansel, as the first heir to the family, had to endure a long voyage of two and a half months, and personally came to Alpha Star to explain to the federal president Dawson.

Compared with other aristocratic families in the Federation, the Osvid family, which rules an administrative star, is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of strength. However, the star Othello they possess is not one of the four planets in the Alpha Capital Circle, but the companion star of the Alpha Binary, the only planet in the Proxima Centauri field.

Although Othello is the largest of all the administrative stars on the map of the Raymond Federation, it is too far away from the Alpha Capital Circle, just like Ansel's journey, from Othello to Alpha, he spent two and a half months on his private space shuttle.

On the one hand, such a geographical location caused the Ausvid family to be far away from the center of power, and could not hold the core positions of power in the federation. But on the other hand, it prompted the Osvid family to expand its family strength wildly. On Othello Star, more than half of the members of the Executive Star Council are from the Osveld family, which makes the so-called Executive Council no different from the family meeting, and the election of the executive star governor every four years has completely evolved into just a formality.

Compared with the local influence of the Osvid family in Othello, in the capital area with many wealthy families, the power of the Osvid family is far from being comparable to the wind and rain in Othello. Although nominally, the Osvid family occupies 17 of the 108 seats in the Federal Assembly. However, the Osvid family has never been involved in the real power position, which makes the Osvid family, although powerful, always rejected by other wealthy families whose power is rooted in the capital area because they are defined as local powers.

This time, taking advantage of the defeat of the Federation Army, many old opponents took the opportunity to attack the Osvid family and instigated domestic public opinion, which made the domestic public opinion attack the Osvid family, and the spearhead was directly pointed at the Osvid family's non-boiled rule of Othello. Therefore, in the event that Ansel, who is the first in line to the throne of the family, must go to Alpha to explain to the president and try to win over the neutral family in order to maintain the unshakable position of the Othello family on Othello.

At this moment, looking at the towering thorn willows on the desolate landscape outside the car window, the distraught Anse El rubbed his swollen temples vigorously, and looked up at the three suns hanging high in the sky.

Since most of the planets in the Centaur galaxy are far away from the Centaur α binary, the Centaur binary, which is very similar in size and brightness to the Sun α is far less huge than the Sun on Earth, at best about half the size of the Sun, and the distant Proxima Centauri is only the size of the Moon. As a result, although the sun is shining on Alpha Star all the time, the temperature is not so hot, and it always maintains a temperature similar to that of the tropical regions near the equator on Earth.

Like the geomorphological features of the tropical regions of the Earth, Afar has a large ocean, but also a large desert. However, because there is never nightfall, the plants on Afar do not have the ability to photosynthesize, and the towering thorn willow hundreds of meters high that Ansel saw is the most common and common plant on Afar.

From the outside, these huge, pitch-black, metallic objects don't look like plants at all. The huge twisted branches like willows, with sharp black spikes twisting and intertwining along the branches, make it more like an abstract work of art made of metal.

But in reality, this black cuticle that covers the surface of the willow is there to absorb the ultraviolet rays from the sun. The seemingly hard spikes are actually not terrible, as long as the hard cuticle on the outside is removed, the inside of the willow can be said to be quite soft, and the hollow branches are also filled with a large amount of milky white nutrient liquid. In certain seasons of the year, each tip of the thorn willow will burst into bright red flowers like dandelions, and when the monsoon blows in the ocean, the red clouds flying in the wind are a rare and wonderful beauty of the Alpha Star.

That's why the federal Capitol is located in Manhattan, the metropolitan area. Ansair remembers that a few years ago, when he first stepped into the Capitol with his father, it was the season of the willow flowers, and the beautiful scenery of the red clouds in the sky and the clear blue water in the distance left him unforgettable. At that time, it was the most glorious period of the Osveld family, but now, when the aged Osvid II was about to walk into the grave, it was no longer flowers that greeted Ansel, but hideous black spikes, and the cold chill made Ansel shiver unconsciously.

"What a bad premonition...... I'm afraid that old fellow Dawson has already figured out how to deal with me......" Picking up a cigarette and taking a deep breath, Ansel's frown loosened slightly.

"Young Master, we have entered the VIP passage of the Congress, please get ready." Just as Anse Air was about to take a second puff, a female secretary sitting next to him in professional attire and with a sense of figure suddenly spoke out.

"Vivien, can't you tell me later?" Anse El smiled wryly when he heard this, threw the lit cigarette to Vivien, and casually took the fresh spray that Vivien handed him and sprayed some in his mouth full of smoke smell.

"It is your responsibility as the first in line to the line of succession to the House of Auswide to maintain the best appearance and demeanor." Vivien snuffed out her cigarette butt and carefully sorted out her demeanor for Ansel.

Anse El waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, my distant cousin, you look like my nagging mother." ”

"But your mother won't go to bed with you, and I will."

"Yes, you will, and you're doing a good job. So I like you more than you are now. Ansel teased Vivien's chin, and just as he seemed to be about to make a move, the car pulled up to the Capitol and slowly stopped.

"Looks like it's time to ...... work"

Touching Vivien's smooth cheeks with some regret, Ansel, who was like a playboy, suddenly changed his face, and when the bodyguard sitting in the front seat of the maglev got out of the car to open the door for him, Ansel stepped out of the car with a solemn expression, and his sharp eagle-like gaze shot straight at the many members of the Osvid family who came to greet him at the top of the stairs.

Under the scrutinizing gaze of a king, many family members who had been staying on the long staircase of the Capitol immediately felt cold, hurriedly put away their contempt for Ansel's youth, and quickly ran down the stairs, guarding Ansel like a star holding the moon.

"Congressional ......"

Looking up at the Capitol building shaped like an eagle with wings, the corners of Ansair's mouth suddenly hooked up a wicked smile, and with many parliamentarians following behind him, Ansair strode into it with great strides.
