Chapter 69: Divided

Ever since the war arrived, the people of Berwick have felt as if the end had come. Prices soared, and the rich fled to seek refuge in foreign countries, and those who had no money or were reluctant to do the family business hoarded a large number of food and other materials, for fear that one day the army of Iserras would come to fight.

In such a tense and depressing atmosphere, some people couldn't bear it anymore and joined the army and went to the battlefield, but never returned.

The war is finally over.

However, those who wish for peace are shocked to find that Berwick will never be able to return to the safe, stable and peaceful environment of the past. Prices are still rising one price a day. Because of the war, foreign transport and trade fleets did not dare to come, their own fleets were requisitioned by the state, factories were forced to stop work because they could not get raw materials, and shopping malls were forced to close their doors because they could not get goods.

Every day, the first thing people who are unemployed at home do when they wake up is to turn on their light brains and check the latest news.

The Federation's control over the press has been reduced to an all-time low, and countless news outlets have appeared on the Internet. The northern planet was plundered, the western planet was occupied, and the southern planetary government defected en masse......

Unable to bear the pressure, people took to the streets, holding up signs in protest.

One negative news after another, these ordinary people can no longer feel the glory of the federation back then.

All they need is a home where they can develop peacefully and steadily.

I don't know when it began, but they were stunned to find that the heads of the star government of Berwick Star had been replaced by newcomers they were not familiar with. Then the police force was dispatched on a large scale to arrest those hooligans who took advantage of the chaos to smash and loot, so that the law and order environment on the whole planet slowly improved.

People don't care who rules them anymore, they just want to have a good environment where they can survive. As a result, under the impetus of well-intentioned people, the people of Berwick have spoken on the Internet, hoping that Berwick can seek planetary autonomy like the Dominion of Rhodria back then.

It was not only Berwick who made such statements, but the flames of self-government, like sparks, were kindled throughout the Federation.

The federal government, which is already in a state of exhaustion, has no intention of controlling these people.

Several nations in the west and north have sent their fleets to claim to protect planets that the Federation is unable to protect. Especially in the west, the planets that were once plundered by Iseras and relied on federal relief to survive, the Federation is no longer able to take care of them, and in order to survive, they can only accept the protection of other countries. With the arrival of the fleets of those countries, they can only silently join these countries while obtaining relief supplies.

Faced with this situation, there has been a lot of quarrel within the federal government over these issues.

Some people believe that these border planets, which are temporarily uncontrollable, can be leased to other countries in order to obtain their assistance and stabilize the domestic situation. Others, on the other hand, believe that they should ignore the domestic situation first, send a large army to recover those planets, and wait for external stability before considering internal problems.

The two gangs quarreled over this, each with their own sphere of interest, the officials from the west wanted to recover the western planet first, and the officials from the center emphasized domestic security, and in this case, President Hodson, who had just come to power to lead the Union to defeat Icelas, abandoned his official position in a fit of rage and returned to the planet of Malocena, where he rose. They were joined by two other Federation fleets.

The presidency is vacant, and no one wants to take the presidency.

These cunning politicians know very well that although this position is good, it is undoubtedly a furnace at this time, and as long as they are not careful, they will be doomed.

The quarrel in the federal capital Dawn did not last long.

On 12 May, a proclamation from the north-central part of the federation woke up the politicians.

First Admiral Wilhelm, who was stationed at the east entrance of the Curica Nebula and commanded the Second Fleet, Fifth Fleet, and Eighth Fleet, declared independence and established the United States of Curica, and he himself was sworn in as the first President of the United States of Curica.

This declaration was supported by several countries such as Gato and Eltavier in neighboring Poland, and even His Majesty the Pope of the Papal State of Santa Carinha personally rushed to Curica to cheer for the inauguration of Vilhelm.

Without waiting for the politicians of the Federation to react, the Chief of the General Staff of the Federation, Admiral Otto, who was stationed in the former Rhodelia region, led the fleet out of Rhodria and headed straight for South Juiste the day after the independence of Curica. After the departure of his fleet, the entire region of Rhodria was divided among the fleets of Iserras and Meenran. Immediately after Otto's arrival in South Eust, he proclaimed the Kingdom of Otto and became a vassal state of the Yserath Empire.

And the first general of Otto also turned into King Otto.

His coronation was supported by both Maynlan and Iseras.

He was followed by former federal President Hodson, who had just relinquished his presidency. Seeing that the division of the Union was inevitable, the young president returned to his rising planet of Marosena and proclaimed the Free Democratic Republic of Malosena as its first president.

His inauguration was not supported by other countries, but by name. Relying on his record of defeating Iserras, Hodson has many supporters. In just three days, more than forty planets have announced their participation in Malocesna, and many more are waiting to join.

A series of sudden changes made the politicians hiding in the morning dawn dumbfounded. Moreover, in the process of successive independence, the western provinces of Eltavier, Isseras, and Meenland continued to encroach on the territory of the Commonwealth. Several countries seem to have ties in private, there is no conflict between them, and even after the fleets of the two countries meet, they are also in harmony. In just half a month, the land area of Eltavier has doubled, nearly a hundred planets; Isselas added more than sixty planets; Maynlan also got more than fifty.

Other countries such as Poland Cato, Santa Carinha, Leland, Xiao Chen, etc., because the eastern planet of the Federation has not been plundered by Iseras, the political environment is relatively stable, which is not as ugly as the western countries, but they also occupy some more or less. What they do more is to secretly support those planets in their quest for independence, which is more in their interests.

Faced with this situation, Field Marshal Werner, commander-in-chief of the Union fleet, in a fit of rage, announced the military control of the Federation. When the heavily loaded battleships occupied the government office building, countless warships aimed their guns at the planet in space, and a large number of mechs ran through the streets of the capital, Dawn Star, the politicians were silent. Although they also have some armed groups of their own, they are no match at all in front of Werner, who holds the military power of the Federation.

Field Marshal Werner had good experience and talent in military affairs and command. But in politics, there are inherent shortcomings. Although he has a strong desire to serve the country, he hopes that with his own efforts, he will restore this old and corrupt country to normal. But he has more than enough heart but not enough strength, and there are few people who can support him in the empty government office building.

Berwick Star, Star Government Hospitality Hotel.

"Lord Yun, from the news that Dawn Star has just received, Field Marshal Werner has taken control of the Capitol and announced the military control of the Federation."

In the room, Yun Yi, Liang Zecheng and Qi Daoxue glanced at each other, and they couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes.

"Alright, you go out." With a wave of his hand, the signal soldier saluted and walked out, closing the door to the conference room.

"Hehe, Elder Liang, Master Qi, how is it?"

Facing Yun Yi, the coldness and arrogance on Qi Daoxue's face were no longer half a point, and he arched his hand and said: "Lord Yun is clever, and he is in submission." ”

Liang Zecheng also nodded, and said approvingly: "I really let Lord Yun guess it, I didn't expect Werner to implement military control." ”

"I knew him a few months ago against Isselas. Werner's loyalty to the Federation and his fiery temper make it necessary for him to step up. And as a federal marshal, the only thing he can do is the fleet, so I concluded that he must do so. Yun Yi smiled, and then looked at Liang Zecheng.

"Elder Liang, how's the connection with that side?" As he spoke, Yun Yi wanted to point to the southeast.

Liang Zecheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Werner has already implemented military control, if Drevis is smart, he will definitely accept our proposal." ”
