Chapter 109 Autonomous Region (II)

Leaving Martina's Georgia space station, Robin has been thinking about Ansel's motives, which has kept him in his seat for a long time without making a sound.

"Sir, where are we going now? Back to the Octopus space station? Lieutenant Taylor, the captain of the AT-089, finally couldn't help but ask.

Robin raised his head and pointed hard at the location of Othello on the star chart: "No, let's go to Othello." ”

…… Five hours later, the AT-089 arrived at the orbital ring of Othello. However, the AT-089 did not anchor here, but left Robin, Lee, and Zoro to wait for Major Barron on Planet Bruno.

Since Robin registered Roche Logistics at the Hermes spaceport, his fleet has been doing more mercenary work and has never carried out a decent transport mission, and the TR-735 fleet, a logistics fleet, has begun to look more and more like a combat fleet. After all, the main job of the transportable ship is transportation, and after Robin occupies the Ultra Nebula, a large number of personnel and materials will be transferred to the Ultra Nebula, which makes the six 'Catfish' Type 1 transport ships left in the Northern Star Domain have to run the transportation at full capacity, and continuously deliver materials and equipment to the Ultra Nebula, so as to keep up with the renovation project of the 'City of Chaos'. In addition, the 270,000 tons of metal ingots left on the planet Bruno is also a serious transportation task, with the 12,000 tons of the 10,000-ton load of the 'Catfish' 1 transport ship, a single transport ship has to run at least 23 times to transport this precious metal worth hundreds of millions of dollars out of the planet Bruno. Therefore, in the face of such a heavy transportation task, Robin can only rebuild a logistics fleet.

In the future, this fleet will travel back and forth between the Northern Star Field and the Ultra Nebula, considering the complex and volatile situation in the Proxima Centauri Star Field, as well as the importance of material supply to the 'City of Chaos', Robin has already discussed with Yalvis, preparing to temporarily let Barron leave the staff and return to the position of captain to become the flagship captain of this new logistics fleet. In addition, the Octopus space station will be under the sole responsibility of Barron, making it an important bridge between the Ultra Nebula and the northern star field.

In order to smoothly implement this grand blueprint jointly built by Robin and Yalvis, it has become a top priority to find out the current situation in the Northern Star Field. Therefore, Robin will take Lee and Zhuo Luo to Othello in person, and it is precisely for this purpose.

When Robin first arrived on Othello, the orbital ring, which is one of the important defensive equipment of Othello, was still just a spaceport with reading power. But now, after the horrific incident of the pirate riot, the once-neglected defense system of Othello has been listed as the first bill by the Autonomous Council. After receiving a large financial allocation from the Parliament, the construction of the Othello orbital ring has progressed faster than expected, and in a short period of time, it has begun to take shape, and although it is not equipped with many of the military's defenses, a complete orbital ring has been established.

"is a trademark of Wood Construction Company and Locke Arsenal."

Standing in the spaceport under construction, Li immediately recognized the logo of the company in charge displayed on the construction site.

Since arriving in the Raymond Federation, Robin has asked everyone under his command to familiarize themselves with the way of life and various common sense of the Federation people as soon as possible, and the general information of the top ten giants of the Federation and the companies under their command also belongs to one of this kind of common sense.

"The fact that the Wood family is the construction oligarchs of the Ten Giants of the Federation will participate in the construction of military facilities on Othello shows that the Wood family and the Osvid family have reached some secret agreement. But why is it the Locke Arsenal that is responsible for the defense of the armament? This military factory is nothing more than a subsidiary with the participation of Alex Machinery Company, and how could the MK military factory of the Osvid family let go of the construction of such a large military industrial facility? Robin looked at the other construction sites in confusion, but did not find any logo for the MK Arsenal.

"Looks like you're going to have to find a chance to meet that Shaun? Alex kid, how the hell did he squeeze out the MK arsenal? It's really curious. Li scratched his chin and smiled maliciously.

"I'll find a chance to meet him, and he's a big part of my plans." After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Robin temporarily gave up on exploring the incident and led Zoro and Lee to the traffic port of the Othello Orbital Ring.

By setting up a fast landing orbit in the traffic port, the three Robins successfully reached the surface of Othello. However, on the way to the central administrative district of Othello, Robin occasionally sees large electronic posters about Anse El and some large parades. Judging by the large banners carried by the march denouncing Governor of Police Brandon, Ansel's public speech was a success, or at least he had ignited the anger of the people and made Brandon, the Governor of Police, a sinner of the people.

"These marches were instigated." Zhuo Luo, who had always seemed to be silent, suddenly said such a sentence.

"Oh?" Robin looked at him in surprise: "What did you find?" ”

"It's just that some people are acting weird."

"......" Robin knew that Dro had a beastly instinct, and that he always noticed details that were usually overlooked. And following Zoro's gaze, Robin really noticed that a few guys in the crowd behaved very strangely, they always loudly denounced Brandon's crimes when the mood of the parade began to decline, and fueled the anger of the marchers from the side, so that the procession always maintained a terrifying angry posture.

"It seems that this is also a method used by Ansel, I really don't understand, what does he want to do?" Lee rubbed his eardrums, which were swollen by the denunciation, in his opinion, the republic would never have happened, and only the Federalists would be so bored and have so many political intrigues.

"Let's go, it looks like I'm going to have to meet Calvin as soon as possible. I wish he could know something......"

Letting Lee drive around the procession, Robin finally made his way through the crowded streets to the Commerce Department in the heart of the city.

Compared to before, the current Ministry of Commerce looks much more deserted. When Robin walked to the front desk and told him that he wanted to meet Calvin, the good-looking front desk assistant quickly dialed Calvin's office and led Robin to Calvin's personal office.

Opening the automatic door of the office, before Robin could greet him, Calvin received Robin with a warm bear hug, and judging by his excited expression, it seemed that he was very much looking forward to Robin's visit.

"Hi my friend. I've heard about you, you really broke into the Ultra Nebula alone and leveled the bloody Harry? Pulling Robin to sit down on the couch, Calvin almost couldn't wait to ask the question.

"I'm just a reservoir dog."

"Hah! ~ Sure enough. Calvin smirked, "I knew that guy Alfred couldn't do such a thing, and it seems that my guess was correct." ”

"Alfred?" Robin frowned suspiciously.

"You don't know yet?" Calvin was stunned, and then stood up angrily: "So, that guy is hiding from you and embezzling your results?" ”

Hearing Calvin say this, Robin could already roughly guess what was happening: "I just handed over the body of Bloody Harry to Alfred more than a dozen hours ago. ”

"Hmph, that shameless fellow. He is now in the news about how he bravely captured the bloody Harry. Calvin quenched disdainfully: "This guy, in order to protect himself, he really doesn't want any face." ”

However, perhaps recalling the good cooperative relationship between Robin and the police, Calvin glanced at Robin, cautiously did not say anything more, but sat down next to Robin with a smile on his face: "Hehe...... You didn't even say anything, I'm still foolish. By the way, you should have come to me for something else this time, right? ”

"Now that you know that I conquered the City of Chaos and killed Bloody Harry, then I'll be straight to the point." Robin sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "Now the Ultra Nebula is under my control, but I want this control to be legitimate, so I need your help." ”

"Legit ......," Calvin asked, tentatively chewing on the word, "you mean...... Autonomous regions? ”

The Autonomous Communities, which are an administrative structure peculiar to the Federation.

The real name of the Raymond Federation is actually the United States of Raymond, and by literally, it is roughly clear that the Raymond Federation is not a centralized country. The system it implements is the open-boiled system of the autonomy of each administrative star. Just like the administrative star of Othello, it nominally belongs to the Raymond Federation, but it has the administrative authority of Read, and the Autonomous Council of Othello controls the main administrative authority. In addition to the administration, it also enjoys a reading position in taxation and legislation.

The same is true for other administrative stars, except for the federal constitution, the annual tax payment to Congress, the military control of the Department of Defense, and the implementation of emergency bills issued by Congress, the Congress does not directly interfere in the governance of the executive star, so in a sense, each executive star can also be regarded as a principality that has been deprived of certain core rights.

The Autonomous Region is an extension of the Autonomous Star, and in the era of the Raymond Federation's great expansion, due to the inability of Congress to govern some deserted borders, the Autonomous Region is often established as an Autonomous Region, which is directly responsible for the Autonomous Star Executive Council. When the Federation has the ability to govern the land, it will reclaim its authority and make it a normal area of the autonomous star.

In federal policy, the Autonomous Regions are a transitional product of the Congressional Stability Frontier, but it is precisely because of this special surname that the Autonomous Regions have many privileges. In some respects, the federal government is even more lenient than the executive autonomy star, and this is exactly what Robin has in mind.
