Chapter 275: Making Your Own Claims
In the general debate, all parliamentarians have the right to request to speak. Although the Speaker can decide the speaking time of each member according to the number of members who have applied to speak, so as to keep the debate time within a reasonable range, when there are too many members who have applied to speak on certain major issues, the debate will continue for a long time. For example, before the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the general debate on whether to sign an armistice with the Silicon Alliance lasted for 10 days because more than half of the parliamentarians asked to speak. Of course, if the situation is urgent, the Speaker can close the general debate and proceed directly to a vote.
When Yang Yi returned, the debate was still ongoing, and it was far from over.
As many as 3,000 members of parliament have applied to speak, and even if each member is limited to five minutes, not counting the delay in between, it will take more than 200 hours. Fortunately, the parliamentarians are not ordinary people, and the venue provides all the materials necessary for life free of charge. Besides, the seats are big enough that you can sleep and rest when you are tired. In accordance with past practice, the first adjournment of the meeting would take place only after the statements had been concluded.
"How?"
Yang Yi shook his head slightly, and did not answer Lin Feng immediately. When Zhuang Shaowei sent the communicator, Yang Yi asked Shen Chengwen to activate the silencer.
"Alora has offered to form an alliance with us."
"What!?"
It was not only Lin Feng who was taken aback, but also Shen Chengwen and Jackson.
"Of course, she didn't say it explicitly, she just offered to provide us with all the assistance we needed to resist the Silicon Charm Alliance, and even send troops directly if necessary."
"How is this possible!?"
Yang Yi was slightly stunned and said, "How is it impossible?" If the Human Federation is finished, the Greenwich Line will fall completely, and no civilization, including the Weavers, will be able to benefit. As long as we're fighting. Other civilizations will be able to stay out of it. Although the Weavers have a great price, it is much better than going to war. In addition, it will take time for the Weavers to complete their mobilization for war. ”
Shen Chengwen sighed, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It's not as simple as you think."
"What do you mean?" Yang Yi looked at Lin Feng.
"We are attached to the Hidden Spirit Clan, not the Star Weaver Clan."
"What does it matter?"
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "If we accept the assistance of the Star Weaver Clan. Even if there is no formal alliance, it will lose the support of the Hidden Spirits. ”
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, feeling that it was difficult to understand.
"In fact, in the entire Galactic Alliance, there is not a single low-level civilization that has formed an alliance with two top-level civilizations at the same time, even if it is just to maintain an alliance."
"Why?"
"Quite simply, this is about the core interests of the top civilization."
"The problem is ......"
"I know that this is a special time, and the Hidden Spirits have not said anything about whether or not to help. The Weavers have already expressed their support for us, so getting the Weavers' help is the only option for us, but losing the support of the Hidden Spirits will also make our situation worse. In fact, if the Hidden Spirit Clan makes a fuss about this, and the Weaver Clan fails to stick to its original position, we will be in a situation where we are at both ends of the first rat. Lin Feng paused slightly. And he said, "Say it again." The Weavers have been thwarting the war decisions. Not to mention how much our defeat will affect the Ringworms, does Alora really want to ally with us? ”
"You mean ......"
"If this is just a ploy to divide us and the Hidden Spirits, then if we agree to form an alliance with the Weavers, we will lose our only supporter."
Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Lin Feng meant.
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the Weavers are truly allied with us." Jackson pouted. He added, "As Brother Yang said, if we are defeated, the Star Weaver Clan will also become a victim. Even if you don't want us to grow stronger in this war, for our own interests. Especially in order to be able to complete the war mobilization before entering the war, the Weavers have more than enough reason to come to our aid. ”
"Turning against the Hidden Spirit Clan for this?" Shen Cheng asked.
"The premise, of course, is that the Hidden Spirits remain silent and indifferent to the situation of the Human Federation. As long as the Hidden Spirit Clan does not lend a helping hand, it is equivalent to giving up the Human Federation on its own initiative. At that time, even if we form an alliance with the Trobel Clan, we will not have anything to lose, at least we don't have to worry about turning against the Hidden Spirit Clan. ”
Shen Chengwen nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.
"Anyway, at least so far, the Hidden Spirit Clan hasn't sent a signal for help." Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "Besides, this is not a decision we can make. Report the situation to the Theater Command, and let Marshal Lin and the Chief of Staff have a headache. ”
Lin Feng was a little speechless, but Yang Yi was right, it was not their turn to make a decision on such a major matter.
When Lin Feng went to report the situation to the theater headquarters, Yang Yi took out the small optical brain that Alora gave him and called up the information inside.
Shen Chengwen and Jackson were very knowledgeable and did not stay to disturb Yang Yi.
After a quick glance, Yang Yi finally understood why Aurora was looking for him, and why she proposed to him to form an alliance with the Human Federation.
The situation was not as simple as Yang Yi and the others imagined, and Alora's proposal to form an alliance was not a calculation of the Human Federation.
At this time, Lin Feng also received instructions from the Theater Command.
"Lin Shuai personally gave instructions for us to try to figure out the intentions of the Star Weaver Clan. He will give us a formal and clear answer as soon as possible, after all, it will take some time for the federal authorities and the military department to make an immediate decision on whether or not to form an alliance with the Weavers. ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly and handed the light brain to Lin Feng.
"It's ......"
"Alora gave it to me, you can take a good look at it."
After a quick glance, Lin Feng showed a surprised expression. Looking up at Yang Yi, she took a serious look, and looked very carefully.
Yang Yi did not urge Lin Feng, but patiently waited for Lin Feng to finish reading.
"What do you think?"
"Do you believe that?"
Yang Yi nodded and said, "These materials are not confidential, even if we don't know it now, we can figure it out with some effort." Obviously, there was no reason for Arora to do anything about it. In addition, Zhuang Shaowei and the ambassador have mentioned before that there is no peace within the alliance. ”
"If that's the case, then Alora is truly allied with us."
Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that this is what he meant.
"The problem is, she's just an ambassador of the Weaver Clan on the Alliance Star, and she ......"
"She is the patriarch of the Star Weaver Clan, and she is related to the current Star Soul Empress. Besides, it is certainly impossible for such a major matter to be arbitrary. ”
Lin Feng let out a long sigh and said, "Even so, I think we should still have reservations. ”
"In this case, we will have to wait for Lin Shuai to give an answer before testing the details of Aurora."
"This ......"
"Obviously, it will be too late by then, and Aurora may not wait until then, and maybe she will give me an answer before then."
"You mean ......"
"What do you think is the likelihood of our alliance with the Weavers?"
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then frowned and thought seriously. Yang Yi didn't urge, but waited patiently, he needed Lin Feng's opinion.
"If the Hidden Spirits remain indifferent and do not provide timely support and assistance to the Human Federation, then we will have no choice." After a long while, Lin Feng spoke: "The Green Star has been destroyed, and the life route has been cut off. Although we have already started the mobilization for war, it is almost impossible to resist the attack even if we can defeat the invading Silicon Charm army on our own. For us, what is needed most now is aid, and it is the aid of the top civilizations. If the Hidden Spirit Clan refuses to stand up at this time, then it is not wrong to form an alliance with the Vortex Clan and say that it is to join the Weaver Clan, which will be our only and inevitable choice. ”
"So, will the Hidden Spirits step up?"
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then said with a wry smile: "The war has already broken out, and the Green Star has also been destroyed by the enemy, if the Hidden Spirit Clan is willing to stand up, it will stand up a long time ago." If nothing else, we haven't seen the ambassador of the Hidden Spirit Clan since we came to the Alliance Star, so what else is there to say? ”
Yang Yi sighed secretly, and he didn't know what to say.
"Ah Yi, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and didn't say anything.
"By the way, Lin Shuai mentioned in his reply that the situation is changing rapidly, and the home system is blocked, and communication may not be able to remain open, so let's take the necessary actions according to the actual situation, and don't miss the precious opportunity because we need to wait for instructions."
"What did Lin Shuai say?"
Lin Feng nodded and said, "You are a special envoy plenipotentiary appointed by the federal authorities, and you have been recognized by the military department, so you have the right to handle any foreign affairs related to the war. ”
Yang Yi smiled, knowing that Lin Feng was cheering him up.
Although Lin Feng was right, as a plenipotentiary envoy, Yang Yi could decide on matters related to the war on his own, but the consequences of making decisions without the support of his superiors were extremely serious. To put it simply, Yang Yi is just a microphone sent by the Human Federation to the Alliance Star.
Lin Feng didn't say anything more, she held Yang Yi's hand, because she knew that what Yang Yi needed most now was support.
"Okay, then let's take a step at a time." Yang Yi let out a long breath, squeezed Lin Feng's hand, and said, "When the general debate is over, if the Hidden Spirit Clan's side still hasn't said anything, I'll go to Alora ." I'm not going to take a stand right away, at least until I figure out her true intentions. ”
Lin Feng nodded, indicating that he understood what Yang Yi meant.
"In any case, if the Human Federation has to fight alone, it will definitely need more friends, even if it is only for moral support."
Saying this, Yang Yi's mood became even heavier.
If before this, Yang Yi still had illusions about the Galactic Alliance, then now, he clearly understands that the only person he can rely on is himself. (To be continued......)
