Chapter 268: The Capital of the Alliance

Center Region, Alliance Star.

Strictly speaking, this is not a planet, but a massive man-made celestial body, a planet that has been modified beyond recognition.

In fact, the star system in which the Alliance star is located is very ordinary.

According to relevant records, the Alliance Star is the first stop of the Milky Way Alliance to the Southern Alpha Galaxy, and all the intelligent civilizations that escaped from the "Apocalypse", including human beings, are the first to come here, and then start from here, and the various star systems of the South Alpha Galaxy in front of them.

It is for this reason that after the end of the First Greenwich War, that is, at the beginning of the official establishment of the Galactic Alliance, the Council of the Alliance made a decision to set up the Alliance's headquarters here. Subsequently, the seven top civilizations underwent a complete transformation of the Alliance Star and the star system in which it is located.

The current Soyuz Star is a huge man-made celestial body.

Although the base planet is still there, the interior has been completely hollowed out, and there are dozens of huge rings of ecosystems on its periphery. The headquarters of the Galactic Alliance, as well as its branches, are not located on the Alliance Star, but in the outer ring ecosystem. Each ring is an independent ecosystem with well-developed infrastructure, but the planet below is easy to be overlooked.

In addition, the main-sequence stars in the star system have also been modified.

In the entire Southern Alpha system, the Soyuz Star is one of the most densely populated planets, without one. Here, there are about 500 billion people, of which more than ninety percent live in the ring ecosystem, and less than 10 billion people settle on the Alliance Star. It's just that the vast majority of the inhabitants are temporary, that is, envoys from various civilizations. Obviously, the Human Federation is very small, and there are less than 10,000 humans living on the Alliance planet.

Actually, this is not less.

According to the information provided by the Theater Command, before the Fifth Greenwich War. There are only a thousand envoys from the Human Federation to the Alliance Stars. Because after the Fifth Greenwich War, he was promoted to a sixth-class civilization and was still the ruler of the Northern Fourth District, so after the Fifth Greenwich War, the status of the Human Federation within the alliance was greatly improved, and it also gained more rights and became a participant in multiple executive bodies. It was only then that the number of envoys was raised from 1,000 to 10,000 in order to deal with a wide range of foreign affairs. It was also at this time that the Human Federation officially settled in the Alliance Star, that is, set up its own consulate on the Alliance Star.

As a result, the Human Federation became the first sixth-class civilization to open a consulate on the Alliance planet.

You must know that according to the relevant regulations of the Alliance, only high-level civilizations, that is, civilizations above the third level, are qualified to set up diplomatic offices on the Alliance Star. Low-level civilizations do not have such privileges, and can only be attached to a certain high-level civilization. or the establishment of informal diplomatic institutions.

Nominally, it was a tribute to the great contribution of the Human Federation to the Fifth Greenwich War.

It's just that everyone knows that the Human Federation's acquisition of the privilege of entering the Alliance Star is related to its strong military strength, and it is also related to becoming the de facto ruler of the Northern Fourth District.

In fact, the Human Federation is the first, and currently the only, sixth-rank civilization that rules a star field.

Of course. Compared to the advanced civilizations, especially the seven top civilizations. The consulate of the Human Federation on the Alliance Star is pitifully small.

The consulate of the Human Federation is located in the Fifth Sector, the fifth circular ecosphere that circles the Alliance.

Like the diplomatic missions of other civilizations, the consulates of the Confederation of Humanity have their own small spaceports, and the environment in which they are located is extremely suitable for human life.

Although it is only a corner of the 5th arrondissement, it is still large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to live and work.

From the outside. The Ring Ecosphere is like a giant halo. It's just that when you get inside, you can't feel it at all. The circular ecosphere, where Zone 5 is located, has a diameter of more than 100,000 kilometers and a width of more than 100 kilometers, and relies on the centrifugal force of rotation to produce an effect similar to gravity. Standing in the ecosphere, as long as you don't look up at the Alliance Star in the distance. You won't even realize it's in the ring ecosystem.

When the Shadow landed on the platform, the three military attachés who had come to greet it had been waiting for a long time.

They are Zhuang Shaowei, John Shaw and Clark Martinez, although they are all federal officials, subordinate to the Federal Foreign Office, and have been appointed by the Federal Foreign Office to serve as military attachés in the Consulate, they also have an identity, that is, they are all under the orders of the Theater Command, but they are different theater commands. According to Yang Yi's knowledge, Zhuang Shaowei was personally selected by Lin Xiaoting.

Of course, the juxtaposition of the three military attaches is also a portrayal of the internal pattern of the Human Federation.

In the Human Federation, the real power is held by the military department, to be precise, the military, and even in peacetime, the federal authorities are only administrative bodies serving the military. In the military department, the three major theaters have real power, so in all military-related matters, only the three major theaters have the right to speak, and only the three major theaters have the right to make decisions. As a result, all military attachés of the Federation's foreign missions were appointed by the recommendation of the three major theaters.

In fact, these military attaches represent the interests of the three major theaters.

After some greetings, Xiao and Martinez said goodbye and left, while Yang Yi and others followed Zhuang Shaowei into the car and went to the living area of the consulate.

The consulate is actually a large area and is divided according to its functions.

The living quarters are at the other end of the consulate, the farthest from the spaceport. It's not very convenient, but it ensures a quality of life and you don't have to worry about safety here.

Arguably, the Soyuz is the safest place in the entire Southern Alpha system.

"Colonel, this is the information that the theater command just sent." Zhuang Shaowei didn't waste time, and his expression was grim, and he didn't seem to think that Yang Yi and their arrival was something to be happy about. "The chief of staff has specifically instructed me to explain the situation to you as soon as possible and assist you in getting ready."

"Ready?" Lin Feng caught the small light brain handed by Zhuang Shaowei.

Zhuang Shaowei nodded and said, "Tomorrow, the plenary session of the Alliance Assembly will be held, which is also the first plenary meeting in eight hundred years. ”

"So, we came at the right time?"

Zhuang Shaowei smiled reluctantly, and answered Yang Yi's question.

Yang Yi didn't take it seriously, he was just joking.

I'm afraid no one knows exactly how many members there are in the Galactic Alliance, and even the relevant information released by the Alliance's authorities may not be accurate. What is certain, though, is definitely not less than a hundred thousand, perhaps as many as hundreds of thousands. Obviously, organizing so many civilizations is a very difficult thing in itself. Even if each civilization sends only one representative to the Union Council, it would be troublesome, if not impossible, to organize all civilizations to convene a plenary session. It is for this reason that the Parliament of the Union has established a Standing Committee, which deals with day-to-day affairs. Although theoretically, the Standing Committee is not the highest decision-making body of the Alliance Parliament, and major matters related to the fundamental interests of the Alliance must be voted on by all members, but the members of the Standing Committee are all high-level civilizations, and the low-level civilizations of the Alliance are often dependent on a certain high-level civilization and obey the orders of the high-level civilization in major affairs, so the Standing Committee has become the real power organ of the Alliance Parliament. For thousands of years, there has been only one thing that the Standing Committee has not been able to decide.

That is, whether or not to carry out an all-coalition mobilization for war.

In fact, the Coalition Council will only convene a plenary session when it is invaded by the Silicon Alliance and decides whether it needs to go to war with the Silicon Alliance.

Of course, after the end of the war, there will also be a symbolic plenary meeting.

The last plenary session was held after the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, and in addition to preaching victory, it was to divide the fruits of victory.

In fact, before coming to the consulate, Yang Yi noticed that there were too many spaceships entering and leaving the Alliance Star.

Obviously, for all members of the Alliance, the plenary meeting is a major event, because the resolutions adopted at the plenary meeting are the collective resolutions of the Alliance, including the seven top civilizations, all civilizations must abide by and implement, which is related to the vital interests of all civilizations.

It's just that for the Federation of Humans, the plenary session of the Alliance is not something to be happy about.

Quite simply, the two plenary meetings before this have seriously damaged the interests of the Human Federation.

More than a thousand years ago, shortly after the outbreak of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Galactic Alliance Parliament convened in plenary session to decide whether or not to mobilize for all-out war. As a result, with several top civilizations such as the Lei Ling Clan objecting, and the Hidden Spirit Clan abstaining from voting, the Alliance Council vetoed the war proposal initiated by the Human Federation and echoed by dozens of civilizations in the Northern Fourth Region along with the Human Federation. As a result, the Galactic Alliance was fifty years late in mobilizing for war. Although the Human Federation held out until the day of victory, the dozens of civilizations that joined it at that time were all extinct, and the Human Federation also suffered heavy losses in the war.

Thereafter, after the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, at that plenary session, the reasonable demands of the Human Federation were almost all rejected. Although with the support of the Hidden Spirit Race, and the fact that the Human Federation is the only surviving civilization in the Northern Fourth District, the core interests have not been affected, but the many resolutions passed at that meeting are equivalent to putting a shackle on the Human Federation.

Among them, the most representative is the ownership of Blue Star.

You must know that at that time, the Human Federation was the actual controller of the Blue Star, and the Alliance Council ignored the fait accompli and the great contribution made by the Human Federation in the war, and did not take the importance of the Blue Star to the Human Federation in mind, and forcibly divided the Blue Star to the independent clan. It can be said that if it weren't for the lack of recovery and the lack of a leader like Xiao Wentian who could unify the Federation, the Human Federation would probably withdraw from the Alliance because of these resolutions of the Alliance Council, and even go to war with other civilizations.

So, what about this plenary session? (To be continued......)
