In a hundred years, urban people are familiar with the current system to the bones, there is not much information on the formation of the federation on the Internet, and everyone does not care about this kind of topic, therefore, as a wilderness person, Cen Mu can't get in touch with this kind of common sense, he used to be ignorant about the federal system, and he didn't know how it works, Ling Tian explained this, and he had a general impression.

Seeing that Cen Mu listened with relish, Ling Tian projected a map of the world and said, "Nearly a hundred years since the establishment of the Federation, many second-tier forces have established their own cities, and some cities have been assigned to the new Federation as subordinate cities of the Federation. You see, this is a triple city, and all the areas with a light blue background are the administrative areas of the new federation. ”

Cen Mu pointed to the area with the black background of the map and asked, "Then what is this black background?" The map has very little information, only a general outline. ”

Ling Tian sighed, "That black area is the 'Land of Discord', most of those places are barren and barren, full of savage and primitive wilderness mobs, mutant beasts are very powerful, extremely numerous, and very dangerous. ”

Cen Mu nodded and continued to ask, "Then what is the relationship between each city and the Federation?" I used to think that the lord of the city, the lord of the city, the lord of a city, felt that in his city, there was more power than the federal government. ”

Ling Tian praised: "That's a good question! You feel right, the actual controller of the city is the power represented by the city lord, although the level of the federation is higher than that of the city, but the old saying goes, 'the county official is not as good as the current management'.

Let me explain to you the origin of the next city, and you will understand.

Since most of the targets of the nuclear war in the old era were cities with concentrated populations, therefore, the cities that were very prosperous in the old era have now become a barren land, and most of the cities in the new era are slowly built up by people in the wilderness of the old era, upgrading from villages to towns, and from towns to cities, this process is promoted by one or more private groups and individual families.

Let's talk about the difference between a town and a city.

The upgrade of the town to the federal city requires the certification and sophistication of soft and hard power: military strength, economic strength and talent reserves, after the certification and approval of the federal professional department, it can be approved to become a federal city, after becoming a federal registered city, the city lord must recognize the federal constitution as the supreme law, the city is dependent on the federation, and the federation guarantees its security, and the city can establish a private army, but there is a limit on the scale, which is written into the constitutional regulations, which is the right of the city, then the corresponding obligation is that the city must pay 30% every year ......"

Cen Mu was surprised: "30%! So much! ”

"Don't be surprised! Although there is so much money to be handed over, there are many towns waiting in line to join the Federation! ”

"Why is that?"

"The reason is simple! Before the town becomes a city, it is ownerless, anyone can attack it, as long as you have the strength, you will not be held responsible, but once it becomes a city, you can't use force, otherwise, it is automatically declared war on the entire Federation, and the attacked city can apply for asylum from the Federation, and when the time comes, the attacking side will face the most powerful regular army of the Federation! ”

"Okay!" Cen Mu shrugged.

Listening to this explanation, he gained another level of understanding of the relationship between the Federation and the city.

"Far away," said Cen Mu, "let's talk about Meraljord!" ”

Ling Tian said: "Big Ben Research Institute is actually controlled by the federal royal family, but the royal family is not a whole, so this top-secret project has gradually been dug up, it is a project initiated by the Rockefeller family, and they seem to have found something that does not belong to this world......"

Cen Mu was shocked in his heart, he thought of instinct, and interrupted: "There are still things that don't belong to this world?" ”

"Absolutely! In fact, there were UFOs in the old era, UFO traces disclosed by the media and some information about aliens, those are evidence, but the government at that time hid these materials in order to prevent public panic and blocked media information, this kind of thing, the American Federation in the old era did the most.

Now we guess that alien civilizations really exist, and may have monitored our civilization for many years, maybe it has started since ancient times, maybe our civilization has not yet reached the level of dialogue with it, and later, the sudden global nuclear war broke everything, and many things buried in the corners of the world were turned over, and after the nuclear war, we found a lot of 'things that do not belong to this world'", Ling Tian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe we can't say that, they have always existed, but we didn't find it before." ”

"The project launched by the Rockefeller family is called 'The Inheritance of Meraljord', externally, with the 'specimen' plan as a package, they should have mastered something beyond the current civilization, the ambition is obvious, this plan has broken the stable structure of the three royal families, which is equivalent to setting off a cold war and equipment competition between the three royal families, the undercurrent within the royal family is turbulent, the major affiliated cities want to stand in line, and they have begun to prepare their own things, and now it has intensified, maybe the war will break out in the next moment, just need a good opportunity."

Cen Mu groaned, "Does Professor Quinine belong to the Rockefeller family?" ”

Ling Tian shook his head and said, "Professor Quinine belongs to the Zhao family's forces, after learning about the Rockefeller family's plan, the other two families of the royal family have also launched similar plans, and they are desperately catching up, because, once the Rockefeller's strength swells to the extent that it surpasses the combined forces of the two families, war will break out!" ”

It's no wonder that Professor Quinine will be so out of shape when he hears "Meraljord", but as soon as Cen Mu said it in public, it will be difficult to keep this secret, if it is known by the people of Rockefeller, I am afraid that they will try their best to fight for this base, and it may even evolve into the fuse of a full-scale war.

Cen Mu said: "Then what is the relationship between the Xiao family and the Ling family and the royal family? ”

Ling Tian said: "The foundation of the Xiao family and the Ling family is built in the Huaxia District in the old era, and there are four cities currently controlled by the Ling family, all of which belong to the Huaxia District, and if you want to stand in line, you will also stand behind the Zhao family. ”

Hearing Ling Tian say this, Cen Mu faintly regretted it, he regretted saying this term in public at the Xiao family banquet, and it was difficult for everyone to prevent it, he was worried that this news would be exposed, thus becoming the fuse of the war.

Ling Tian thought for a while and said, "The Xiao family should be able to handle this matter, besides, this term is actually only circulated among the high-level people, and many people don't know it, the more low-key it is, the better the effect, Professor Quinine's approach is right."

However, it is indeed a pity that you refused Big Ben this time, I understand your concerns, but you are not alone now, as long as you get that quota, the Ling family will find a way to operate for you, and naturally there will be a place to give full play to your value, and at that time, things between you and Tinker will go more smoothly, and maybe the marriage date will be on the agenda. ”

Cen Mu didn't expect to get such an answer to this question, he smiled: "I have already refused, there is no way to turn back, it is useless for me to crawl back and beg him now, but if I really ask him, he will still be a little happy in his heart." ”

Ling Tian laughed and said, "I know that you kid is not in a hurry to deal with Xiao Ding, you have your own plans!" Which girl did you fall in love with? ”

Cen Mu shook his head and said with a smile: "What's the matter, just look at Xiao Ding!" "If he dares to say Su Zihan's name, Ling Tian will dare to beat him, beat him for wanting to eat swan meat.

When the two of them put this matter in order and returned to the banquet, there were only some leftovers of food on the table, these three people were really good!

I saw Xiao Bai half-leaning back on the chair, stroking his bulging belly, while Luo Qing was on the side, drinking a glass of wine, Ling Shen showed a helpless expression.

Seeing that everyone was focusing their eyes on him, Xiaobai was a little embarrassed, stroked his stomach, burped, and said, "Uh~ The food is so delicious!" If you're not careful, you'll eat too much! ”

Ling Tian stroked his forehead and sighed: "Xiao Mu, you sent another foodie, how can you let your uncle afford it!" ”

Xiaobai whispered: "Although I eat a lot, I have the strength and can work!" ”

Ling Tian laughed and said to Ling Shen: "Let the back kitchen come to another table according to this, our family will not be drunk or happy!" ”
