Home System, Federation Star, Liberty Square.

As the capital of the Human Federation, the Federation was once home to all. It can be said that everyone in the Human Federation has a direct or indirect relationship with the Federation Star, because as early as thousands of years ago, those human survivors who finally came to the Southern Alpha System after tens of thousands of years of voyage have established themselves here, and after defeating and destroying the indigenous civilization, they have become the masters of the home galaxy. After that, as the human footprint expanded outward step by step, a large number of colonized galaxies were obtained, and then gradually migrated outward. That's right, now everyone's ancestors are from the Federation Star. It's just that the current Federation Star is no longer what it was thousands of years ago.

Although the current Federation Star is still the capital of the Human Federation, it no longer has permanent residents.

The people who live on the federal star are all people from various federal agencies, including the executive of the federal government, the members of the federal parliament, and the military personnel.

Of course, as the jurisdiction of the human federation expands, so does the size of the various federal agencies, and the number of federal personnel working in the industry increases simultaneously. Even in peacetime, there are hundreds of millions of inhabitants on the Federation, and in wartime, there are more than 500 million inhabitants on the Federation.

About half of those 500 million federal workers live in the City of Hope, where Liberty Square is located.

In fact, Liberty Square is the symbol of the Federal Star.

This square, which has existed for more than 4,000 years, has witnessed the rise and fall of the Human Federation.

As early as more than 4,500 years ago, that is, in the early days of the Human Federation, it was proposed to build a symbolic building on the planet Federation. However, the conditions at that time were extremely harsh, and construction was being carried out in various places, and there were no spare resources to build such a symbolic structure, so the proposal was shelved. Until hundreds of years later. That is, after the outbreak of the First Greenwich War, in the face of a formidable enemy, when almost everyone was desperate, Generalissimo Jade Tingxuan built this square in order to inspire people. Strictly speaking, not building. Because there are no buildings at all, it doesn't cost too many resources.

It's just one square, and it's the largest square in the federal territory of mankind.

At the beginning, when the Generalissimo Yutingxuan decided to build this square, he clearly mentioned that this was a square symbolizing victory and freedom, and it was specially prepared for the soldiers who returned triumphantly from defeating a strong enemy. For thousands of years after that, it became the stage for the triumphants.

When the first phalanx appeared, the surrounding crowd began to cheer.

Walking in front of the phalanx was a young general, and behind him were ten thousand soldiers with solemn expressions.

The general. It's Yang Yi.

It's just that the soldiers who followed him were not from Beacon Mars, but from the nine theaters, to be precise, the officers and soldiers of the nine theater commands.

Back in the home galaxy, Yang Yi learned about the military department's parade arrangements.

Although he was very dissatisfied, Yang Yi had no other way. If he had known, he would have returned to his home system with the legions that had fought the enemy on Mars, at least some of them. Because in Yang Yi's view, only those soldiers who fought side by side with him were eligible for the right to set foot on Freedom Square. In fact. The military department cannot be blamed entirely for this, because this parade is inherently unruly.

According to tradition, only after the end of the war, a victory parade was held on Freedom Square.

Although the Silicon Charm army has retreated, the war is not over, and there are still many colony systems in the hands of the enemy. Nor did the federal authorities declare an end to the state of war. According to traditional practice, a victory parade should not be held at this time, so the military department did not make relevant arrangements. When Yang Yi and Lin Xiaoting returned to their home system, the legions sent by the Autonomous Government Alliance recovered most of the colonial systems controlled by the enemy, and the reinforcements of the Weaver Clan also controlled the Greenwich Line. Other words. The Human Federation not only recovered all the lost territory, but also wiped out the invading enemies. As a result, tens of thousands of legislators from the colonial galaxy proposed to hold a victory parade to welcome the triumphant return of the soldiers.

Obviously, this is the arrangement of the Yu family.

Although he didn't see Yu Linglong, Yang Yi immediately understood that Yu Linglong wanted to use this method to increase Yang Yi's influence in the home galaxy.

Good idea, just too hasty.

Although it could not withstand the pressure of the parliamentarians and decided to hold a victory parade, the military department still had the initiative in the details of the parade.

With a group of soldiers who didn't know him at all, or soldiers who had never been on the battlefield, Yang Yi felt very uncomfortable.

It's just that Yang Yi is not swayed by emotions.

The war is not over, this is not a victory parade, it is nothing more than a political show. Yang Yi believes that on the day of victory, he will be followed by those soldiers who fought bloodily on the front line, and those soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed for the human Federation.

Fortunately, it was just an ordinary military parade.

It takes only ten minutes to walk from one end of the square to the other.

Seeing Lin Feng standing outside the square, Yang Yi's mood was a little better.

"This uniform fits perfectly."

"Are you complimenting me, or are you hurting me?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Anyway, it's best if you can return safely." ”

Yang Yi nodded, although he had a thousand words in his heart, he didn't know what to say.

"Let's go, Sister Linglong is still waiting for you."

"She's here too?"

"It's not just her, but there are also some councillors, everyone wants to meet the great heroes who have wiped out thousands of Silicon Legions on Mars."

Yang Yi rolled his eyes, but knew that Lin Feng was joking with him.

Lin Feng really didn't say nonsense, it was not only Yu Linglong who was waiting for Yang Yi, but also dozens of parliamentarians. Although he didn't know any of them, Yang Yi already knew from Lin Feng that they were all from the colonial galaxy, and they were important members of the Federal Assembly, either the leader of a certain party or the leader of a certain institution. In addition, they are all spokespersons of the Yu family and are also Yang Yi's main supporters.

Obviously, Yang Yi must give them face.

Fortunately, with Yu Linglong here, all Yang Yi has to do is say hello to these parliamentarians and make a familiar face.

It didn't take much effort for Yu Linglong to introduce Yang Yi to these councilors, and also made a separate introduction to them. These parliamentarians were also very knowledgeable, did not pester Yang Yi, and took the initiative to leave after completing the courtesy mutual introduction, without delaying too much time.

"I know you don't really like this kind of occasion, but when you come back, you have to get used to it, even if it's just pretending."

Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and didn't say anything. In fact, he understood what Yu Linglong meant, and he also knew that he had to learn to deal with these politicians.

"I have to thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and looked at Yu Linglong incomprehensibly.

"You gave Yuyang a chance, and you have absolute trust in him. What's more, he's safe and sound. Yu Linglong looked Yang Yi up and down before saying, "As long as he is safe and sound, I will rest assured." It doesn't matter what kind of talent he has and how much he can achieve in the future. ”

At this time, Yang Yi understood. "Don't worry, I won't let him be threatened in the slightest."

"It's enough to have your words."

"You didn't come here to thank me, did you?"

Yu Linglong shook her head with a smile and said, "I introduced you to those councilors, not just to let you get to know them, but also to win them over. ”

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, in a few days, they will introduce a bill in the Federal Assembly asking the federal authorities to sign an alliance treaty with the Weavers as soon as possible."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and his brows couldn't help jumping a few times.

"I only received news yesterday that the Star Weaver reinforcements under the command of the Star Soul Empress have taken control of the Greenwich Line, and have launched several tentative attacks." Yu Linglong paused for a moment before saying, "Now, we have enough reason to believe that this war is not over yet. ”

"You mean ......"

"The Weaver reinforcements were attacked by a strong counterattack by the Silicon Charm army, indicating that there were still many enemies on the other side of the Greenwich Line. To put it simply, the Silicon Alliance does not mean to take the initiative to cease. If we don't do anything, it won't be long before we are attacked again. ”

"Obviously, we can't fight the Silicon Alliance on our own."

Yu Linglong nodded and said, "The war is not over yet, and the threat of the Silicon Charm Alliance still exists, so an alliance with the Weaver Clan is the only option." It's just that in this matter, the federal authorities are not active, one can even say very negative. If the federal authorities are expected to take the initiative to move closer to the Weavers, it is clear that there will be no good results. We also have no choice but to try for parliament to pass an alliance resolution. ”

"Does it work?"

"Although in times of war decision-making is in the hands of the federal authorities, and the parliament only has the power to make recommendations, in the present situation it is impossible for the federal authorities to oppose it."

"Why?"

"Quite simply, more than half of the colonial systems have formed autonomous governments and alliances. If the federal authorities veto an alliance with the Weavers, the governments will sign semi-official alliances with the Weavers under wartime mandates. According to the law, the Weavers will be able to send troops to the star systems under the jurisdiction of the self-government and assist the self-government in resisting the invasion. ”

Yang Yi frowned, thinking seriously about Yu Linglong's words.

"To put it bluntly, after more than half of the autonomous governments of the colonial galaxies sign an alliance treaty with the Weavers, the alliance between the Human Federation and the Weavers will become a fait accompli. Even if the federal authorities are indifferent, the Weavers will be able to send troops into battle under these treaties. Unless the federal authorities are utterly stupid, they won't turn against us, because that would inevitably lead to the disintegration of the human federation. ”

"Split?"

"Obviously, whether it is a split or a separation, it will not benefit the current people in power at all."

"But ......"

"What's more, it gives you a reason to send troops to the Northern Alpha system, and it's a good reason."

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and only after understanding what Yu Linglong meant, did he suddenly react. (To be continued.) )
