Chapter 263: Forming an Alliance (Part II)

Perseus spiral arm of the Milky Way, Deborah galaxy.

The Debora system means queen bee in Hebrew, and the Debora galaxy, as a large binary star system, is indeed the most resourceful and suitable galaxy for human habitation in the Perseus spiral arm region.

A few years ago, the Debra system was the capital of the United States of Savoie, the strongest nation in the Perseus Spiral Arm, and was the political and economic center of the entire Perseus Spiral region. However, after Hoffmann the Great ordered the Empire's triumvirate to garrison the other three armours of the galaxy except for the Orion Spiral Arm, Duke Greg, who had taken over the Perseus Spiral Arm with a strong attitude, forcibly acquired the Debra system from the United States of Sava as his own territory, and gradually built it into the base camp of the Greg family over the years.

A few years ago, Duke Greg personally led a large army to the Perseus Spiral Arm and reached the capital of the United States of Sava with his powerful army, forcing the Parliament of the United States of Sava to bow to Duke Greg and sign the next unequal treaty to present the rich Debra system with both hands.

This division of the country, which resembles a cession, has greatly undermined the already weak concept of the State of the citizens of the United States of Savoie, and has made the United States of Savoie a nominal existence in recent years. Duke Greg, on the other hand, further strengthened his authoritative position in the eyes of the people by virtue of his strong military power and vigorously promoted the people's immigration to the Hoffman Empire within the Immortal Spiral Arm, making him the undisputed uncrowned king of the Immortal Spiral Arm.

The duke of an authoritarian state directly penetrates the tentacles of power into a democracy, which is simply unthinkable in ordinary concepts. However, given the founding history of the United States of Savie, as well as its political peculiarities, it is no accident that Duke Greg was able to become the uncrowned king of the Perseus Spiral Arm.

The United States of Savoy shares many similarities with the former Federation of Réméng, both as a democracy under a capitalist economic system. However, the United States of Savoie, due to the lack of a supreme political leader, is significantly less politically cohesive than the Commonwealth of Reméng, which has a president as the supreme leader of the country, and the degree of autonomy of its administrative regions is far greater than that of the Reim Confederation.

In a sense, the United States of Savoie, which leads its people with a parliament of several leaders, is more like a multinational conglomerate. If the Commonwealth of Thunder Méng is compared to the United States of the old era, then the United States of Savoie is somewhat similar to the European Union of the old era. The administrative autonomous stars under its command have completely independent administrative and financial systems, and even these administrative autonomous stars have various political systems and country names.

At the time of the establishment of the United States of Savoie, the most basic concept was to form this loosely structured alliance of nations in order to maintain peace and avoid war, and the only administrative measure that could strengthen national cohesion was the unification of national currencies and the conclusion of an offensive and defensive alliance contract similar to that of the old NATO military system.

At the very core of its interests, the nations of the United States of Sava remain independent political entities, and the United States of the United States of Savie, composed of its leaders, will only be effective when there is a major political problem in a country, or when it is directed against a non-member of the United States, or when the Perseus spiral arm is invaded by a powerful enemy.

Therefore, investigate its essence. The United States of Savoy will inevitably be overly focused on their own interests, and such an alliance may be able to deal with some minor internal contradictions and small-scale military conflicts, but in the event of a real invasion by a strong enemy, the United States will be scattered and uncohesive.

Just as when Duke Greg represented the Hoffman Empire in Perseus Spiral, the Parliament of the United States of Sava did not reach a unified concept after eight hours of urgent negotiations in the face of Duke Greg's huge fleet painted with eagle insignia. It wasn't until the troops approached the city that a multinational force was barely put together to form a loose line of defense.

Since this multinational force does not have a clear supreme commander, there is no direct subordinate relationship between them. Except for a few ships that were destroyed in the contact battle, most of the warships simply abandoned the defense zone and retreated to their own countries, thus leaving all their national leaders with seats in Congress in the Debora system and surrounded by Duke Greg.

When their own safety was seriously threatened, the leaders of these countries quickly unified their opinions and took the initiative to propose peace talks to Duke Greg, who was driving the Immortal Spiral Arm as an invader at that time, claiming that he was willing to accept a part of the loss of benefits in exchange for peace.

If it is an administratively unified country, then this declaration is a complete act of treason in ceding the territory. However, the United States of Savoy was a multinational alliance of self-governing countries, and its leaders were only responsible for their own countries and their citizens. Therefore, after throwing out this statement, except for the substantial loss of interests of the Deberra Republic chosen by Duke Greg as the territory of the Deberra system, the rest of the member states of the United States of Savoie did not suffer any substantial loss, and they even invited Duke Greg to join the Congress of the United States of Savoy to replace the former Deberra Republic that was disqualified.

From the standpoint of the leaders themselves, there is nothing wrong with them making such a move. After all, in this catastrophic invasion, as the leaders of the country, they have well protected their national interests from infringement. As for the interests of other Member States, it would suffice to show at least some sympathy from the position in which they stand.

However, if the United States looks at this incident from a macro perspective, then its influence is definitely not just a stifling member state.

Through this incident, the citizens of the United States began to recognize the loose nature of the United States. The tragic plight of the people of the Republic of Debra after the annihilation of the Republic of Debra was a wake-up call to the people of all countries, and this sudden sense of crisis led directly to the decline of the cohesion of the United States in the hearts of the people of all countries.

Democracy and justice have been replaced by strength, and have become the only criterion in the hearts of the people of the United States. As a result, after the people became completely disillusioned with the United States as a whole, they became skeptical about whether their own leaders would be able to continue to protect their own interests in the power of power. It was during this period that Duke Greg began to show kindness to the people of various countries in a pro-people manner. Using his great material and financial resources, Duke Greg devoted himself to philanthropy as a member of the Parliament of the United States of Savoy, and vigorously promoted education and unearthed the Jīng British among the common people of various countries. He then promoted immigration policies and helped these countries to emigrate to the Hoffman Empire. Among them, immigrants from various countries who are lucky enough to pass the genetic assessment will be absorbed by Duke Greg after the empire has a foothold capital, and those who fail to immigrate will also trumpet the strength of the empire and the unparalleled power of Duke Greg in the empire when they return to their respective countries.

Gradually, Duke Greg completely tied the interests of the people of various countries to himself through these means, making his personal prestige far exceed that of the leaders of various countries, and within a few years, the citizens of all countries in the United States completely lost their sense of statehood.

Now, after nearly a decade of business, the United States of Savoie, and indeed the entire Perseus Spiral Arm, has become the property of Duke Greg. The so-called parliament has simply become a formality, and it is nothing more than Duke Greg in order to strengthen his own cooperation.
