Chapter 122: The Construction of the Base Camp

On the second day after Robin's arrival, the fleet announced through official channels the successful establishment of the Ultra Nebula Autonomous Region, and announced that Robin would become the executive officer of the Ultra Nebula Autonomous Region and the commander of the Ultra Nebula Ranger Mounted Police Formation.

Robin then made a highly incendiary public speech as an executive officer, saying that he would change the name of the "City of Chaos" to the "City of Freedom" and set up the military fortress of Charon to provide permanent military support for the free people in the autonomous region.

Robin's declaration of office covered all aspects of the lives of the freedmen, and combined with the various executive decrees that Robin gradually issued, it immediately caused a huge sensation among the freedmen.

Whether it was at the beginning of the establishment of the 'City of Chaos' or during the period when Bloody Harry ruled the Ultra Nebula, the 'City of Chaos' and even the entire Ultra Nebula were a place of disorder without any rule of law. Here, the strong is king is the most basic rule of survival. The strong plunder at will, and the weak give everything to seek refuge. This long-standing and pathological mode of existence has made the free people living in this remote wasteland almost no longer have the luxury of equality and any form of legal protection. Even after Robin defeated the Bloody Harry to rule the Ultra Nebula, they thought that this change of dynasty was nothing more than a change of tyrannical ruler.

However, more than a month later, these already desperate freedmen were surprised to find that the truth did not seem to be as pessimistic as they had imagined.

For those freedmen who were expelled from the Northern Realm after the new Liberty Act was enacted, they once resented Robin, believing that it was Robin who submitted the Autonomous Region bill to the Assembly for the federal government to expel them.

Unlike those wanderers who have been wandering in the 'City of Chaos' for many years, these freedmen who have made their home in the Northern Star Domain are a group of free people who have been deeply assimilated by the Federation, they no longer have the wild pioneering spirit like their ancestors, they are accustomed to stability, even if they are only inferior citizens in the Northern Star Field, even if they are subject to purchase restrictions that make it almost impossible for them to survive, they are not willing to leave the Northern Star Domain and go to the chaotic and disorderly place of the Ultra Nebula.

In their eyes, no matter how hard it was in the Northern Star Field, it was safer than the Ultra Nebula. After all, although the Federalists discriminate against them, they are not going to pull out their guns and kill them for a few cash, nor will they be able to loot them just because they have more guns.

In the Northern Star Field, even if they are freedmen, they are protected by federal law. And here, the chaos of order makes them extremely insecure. After arriving in the 'City of Chaos', the large number of conflicts over living space and material supplies seemed to confirm their suspicions, making them not dare to hope for a better future while remembering the past.

However, Robin's inaugural speech ignited their inner prayers like a light in the night. Clearly, Robin's speech was an official proclamation in which he promised the people laws, rights, benefits, obligations, and so on, exactly what these exiled freedmen could only dream of. Therefore, as soon as Robin's declaration of office was issued, it immediately won the full support of this part of the free people.

And the Natives of the Ultra Nebula, who call the 'City of Chaos' home and have followed Bloody Harry through the bloody storms, are a little different. What they care about most is Robin's promise and the wonderful future he outlines in his manifesto.

Compared to those freedmen who live in the northern star fields and have regular jobs, these free people who wander in the mines and treacherous star fields all year round are more practical. They don't care if there are laws and guarantees, they care about strength. And Robin, in their eyes, is undoubtedly an incomparably powerful guy.

In terms of military strength, Robin's fleet single-handedly dismantled one of the most powerful armed groups in the history of the Ultra Nebula, and even swept away the entire armed groups in the entire free people world by himself.

In terms of financial resources, Robin is much stronger than Bloody Harry. The rapid rectification of the 'City of Chaos' in the early stage had already seen the light of day, and now the continuous delivery of supplies by the transport fleet and the arrival of the six-million-ton large transport ship completely made them excited. In addition, Robin, as a free citizen, has such a strong political influence in the Federation, and even let the federal government approve of the establishment of the Ultra Nebula Autonomous Region, which is a miracle they can't imagine. They didn't dare to imagine that another free man could be like Robin, so they were accustomed to the strong being king, and they had completely recognized Robin as the strongest among them, and admitted from their hearts that Robin's strength had made them unshakable.

These two groups include almost all the free people of the Ultra Nebula, and the difference in ideas and concepts of life made the two groups once the biggest unstable factor in order to compete for living space. But now, Robin appears like a savior, and while easing the growing conflict between the two groups, he also gains their trust, so that Robin's subsequent decrees are implemented almost unhindered.

Among the decrees issued by Robin, the first to be published was the list of members of the Autonomous Region Assembly. The Autonomous Communities are governmental bodies recognized in the Federal Constitution, so under the Federal Constitution, the Autonomous Communities are also required to establish an Executive Council. However, due to the political particularities of the Autonomous Region, the qualifications of members of the Autonomous Region Assembly can be determined within the Autonomous Region and do not require any administrative ruling by a higher authority.

Robin is currently taking the path of military and political integration, so in the list of parliamentarians announced, the current members are all heads of various departments of the fleet.

The freedmen were not unhappy with Robin's move. After all, they have never had much political status, so they don't have the crazy political positivity of federal citizens. In their opinion, Robin spent so much money to establish the autonomous region, even if he became the leader of the autonomous region, it is a matter of course.

The list of members of the Autonomous Region was followed by the promulgation of the guidelines for the establishment of a free city.

In Robin's plan released by official sources, the current 'City of Chaos' will be converted into Fort Charon, which will exist as a purely military area. The Free City is a large-scale semi-militarized and semi-residential space station concentration area with Charon Fortress as the core.

The construction of this part of the area will be carried out by public bidding. The official provides construction drawings, materials, engineering ship modification and engineering supervision, while the builder provides private spacecraft and labor. After the completion of construction, the military area of the space station will be owned by the fleet, and the civilian area will be privately owned by the builders.

As soon as this decree was issued, it caused a sensational response among the freedmen.

After the arrival of Robin's large transport ship, the original shortage of daily necessities has been relatively abundant, but the congestion of the living environment has not changed much. Therefore, the desire of a large number of freedmen for living conditions was extremely urgent. And Robin's decree happened to meet their psychological expectations, coupled with such superior conditions, for a while, a large number of freedmen with private spaceships came to sign up, and signed and agreed to transform their spaceships into engineering ships, and united into groups to bid for the construction of the first batch of space stations.

As the news spread among the freedmen, some of the freedfolk ships that had been collecting rare materials in the mines returned to join the construction of the space station.

In addition, government decrees on citizenship, recruitment of reserve police officers, and recruitment of persons with special talents were also promulgated one by one.

The so-called citizenship is somewhat similar to the permanent residency of the Hermes spaceport, and in Robin's overview of this executive decree, it is stated that in the future free capital, people who are in good standing, who have contributed to the construction of the Ultra Nebula, and who have no bad track record, ...
