Episode 1 Twenty Years of Change
Rangie put down a report in his hand a little tiredly, glanced at a small fine mirror on the table out of the corner of his eye, and looked briefly in the mirror. Seeing that his mature and handsome face seemed to be a little more sad, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He stretched his waist, picked up the still hot coffee on the table, and paced to the balcony, lazily basking in the late spring sun.
The place where he was, of course, was the balcony of the presidential conference room at Fort Blue Star. The building, which was built shortly after the Blue Star Kingdom, is still the same as it was, but the surrounding environment has changed dramatically. Not only that, but even the entire Hanzhong City, the entire Blue Star Country, and even the entire Dongyanzhou are different from back then. Since the Blue Star Kingdom wiped out the King of Qin and his evil army with a nuclear bomb, the war in Dongyanzhou has been over for 20 years. In 20 years, Dongyanzhou finally got recuperation and ushered in the long-awaited peace, under the leadership of the Blue Star Country, the economic and social development of various countries has made great progress, and the entire continent has undergone earth-shaking changes.
As the main force resisting the Qin army, the Blue Star Kingdom played a huge leading role in it, accumulating unprecedented great prestige, and at the same time, the country was also the strongest country in Dongyanzhou, with the only powerhouse in the Void Realm, and naturally became a well-deserved "overlord" of Dongyanzhou after the war. Under the circumstances at that time, as long as the Blue Star State was willing, it could fully achieve the goal of the Qin State that had worked hard for many years, bringing all countries under its territory and expanding its territory to the entire Dongyan Continent.
After all, in addition to the Blue Star Abroad, Dongyanzhou also has only two independent and sovereign countries, the Jiapu Country and the Mermaid Country, and these two countries are still small countries dependent on the Blue Star Country, and they are originally members of the "Blue Alliance". The original five kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Chu, Wei and Yue had long been destroyed by the Qin State, and the exile regimes of these countries were all established with the support of the Blue Star State, as long as the Blue Star Country was willing, it was completely possible for these countries to "voluntarily" join the Blue Star State.
But the Blue Star Country is not the Qin State after all, and the pursuit of a broad territory is not the purpose of national development, grasping the future strategy of the entire Dongyan Continent and letting all countries develop according to the strategy designed by the Blue Star Country, which is in line with the fundamental interests of the Blue Star Country. After the destruction of the Qin State, the Blue Star State immediately convened representatives of various countries and held an important meeting in the capital Hanzhong City to determine the development of the countries of Dongyanzhou after the war.
At the meeting, the head of the Blue Star State, headed by Danny, first put forward a proposal to restore the territory of the five countries of Yan, Zhao, Chu, Wei and Yue. This "generous" gift was immediately fully supported by the government-in-exile of the five countries, and the representatives of the five countries even knelt in front of Danny with tears in their eyes, grateful for the proposal of the Blue Star Country, and this decision was almost immediately approved and adopted by all countries.
As for the Qin State that has been destroyed, although the territory has been occupied by the anti-Qin alliance, the Blue Star State has no intention of incorporating it into its own territory or dividing it up among other countries. Danny proposes to divide the Qin State into three parts, and let the three mortal resistance regimes supported by the Blue Star State take over and form three republican states. These three countries are Southern Qin, Northern Qin and Guan Qin, which are called the "Three Qin" by the people of Dongyanzhou.
The proposal to divide the Qin state into three states was soon supported by other countries as well. Since no one can monopolize the entire Qin State, it is not realistic to divide it, so simply split it, after all, a strong Qin State has always been a huge threat to the surrounding countries, even if this country has become its own ally, only a divided Qin State can reassure the countries.
Of course, the Blue Star Kingdom will not forget the Jiapu Kingdom and the Mermaid Country that have been supporting them all the time, and they proposed to assign more than a dozen small dependent countries in the south of the Chu State to these two countries, so that these two countries that have always wanted to land finally have a continental territory. Of course, the representatives of the state of Chu would not and did not dare to refuse this request.
Of course, the territories of various countries have also been adjusted on a small scale at the suggestion of Danny and others, mainly where there have been contradictions at the junction of countries for a long time. Historically, because of the unclear ownership of these regions, this has led to frequent contradictions between countries. In order to maintain the peace of the countries of Dongyanzhou, the Blue Star Country put out the territorial contradictions that existed in the history of the countries one by one to discuss, and the countries were very grateful to be able to restore the country, and of course they did not have any opinions on the proposals of the Blue Star Country, and they were all adopted soon.
After re-demarcating the territories of various countries, the Blue Star Kingdom threw out the most important topic of this meeting, proposing that the countries of Dongyanzhou should establish an international alliance organization of military and economic communities on the basis of the "Blue Alliance". The main responsibility of this organization is to establish a common market among the countries of Dongyanzhou, and all member countries abide by the common national conventions, carry out all-round cooperation in economic and social exchanges in an equal environment, and jointly form a military alliance to defend the entire Dongyanzhou. The name of the organization is called "East Yanzhou Convention Organization Alliance", abbreviated as "ASEAN".
Without any objections, the proposal to establish an ASEAN organization was successfully adopted, and on October 8, 34 years of the Blue Star Chronicle, the "Dongyanzhou Convention Organization Alliance" was formally established, and its member countries include the Blue Star State, the Jiapu State, the Fish Man Country, as well as Yanzhao, Chu, Wei Yue and Sanqin, a total of 11 countries. ASEAN's highest decision-making body is the ASEAN Council, which is composed of senior officials such as heads of state, senior government officials, foreign ministers, and defense ministers of member states, and is headquartered in Hanzhong City, the capital of the Blue Star Kingdom.
As the initiator of the ASEAN organization, the Blue Star State naturally became the first rotating chair of the ASEAN Council, and its then-President Danny also became the first rotating chairman. At the first meeting of the Council on the second day after the establishment of the ASEAN Organization, Danny put forward a series of proposals for the political, economic, cultural and other comprehensive reforms and post-war reconstruction of various countries, the most important of which was that each country abandoned the original monarchy system of the Xiuzhen royal family and turned into a constitutional monarchy.
The proposal of these suggestions has made some countries quite unhappy, the most prominent representative of which is the new monarch of Chu State, Yuan Toe. Yuan Toe This person was originally a distant relative of the old Chu royal family, and fled to the Blue Star State after the Qin State destroyed the Chu State, and after receiving the support of the Blue Star State, he went around to attract the fleeing royal family and nobles of the Chu State, and established a large scale of the Fuguo Armed Force. Because he was also a strong man in the early stage of the infant realm, his power was the most powerful among the exile regimes of various countries. After having such an army, Yuan Toe's ambition was much greater, and he dreamed of being able to lead the army to counterattack the Qin army and recover the Chu State, but he took the initiative several times and was defeated by the Qin army, and in desperation, he could only continue to rely on the Blue Star Army and become a member of the anti-Qin alliance.
After the fall of the Qin state, Yuanzhi's ambition to restore the Chu royal family and establish a new type of regional power resurfaced, but Danny's proposal for a constitutional monarchy greatly contradicted his ambitions. Therefore, at the meeting, he strongly opposed Danny's proposal, and even united with several other leaders who had dreams of restoring the old system, and did not hesitate to use force to force Danny to comply. After the fall of the Qin State at that time, the cultivation in the early stage of the infant realm was already the top powerhouse in Dongyanzhou, and in the cultivation world where the strong were respected, Chu Jun's approach was of course beyond reproach.
Thinking of this, Rangie couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
Yuan Toe dared to make a move on Danny, of course, for reasons that he was self-righteous. At that time, it was rumored in Dongyanzhou that Linda, the first strong man in Dongyanzhou and the first hero to destroy Qiang Qin, had to retreat and recuperate because he was injured in the last battle, and he had not appeared in public since the end of the war, and there were even rumors from the outside world that Linda had quietly fallen because he was seriously injured. This news is tantamount to a heavy bomb to the countries of Dongyan Continent, without Linda's deterrence, the awe of the countries towards the Blue Star Country is suddenly much less, because the Blue Star Country does not have a strong person above the infant realm except for Linda, although it has a strong army, but the role of high-level monks is difficult to replace. The appearance of this news immediately made many countries want to move.
It was Yuan Toe who dared to be the first to jump out to challenge the Blue Star Country. He originally thought that with his strong strength in the early stage of the infant realm, it would be enough to deter the Blue Star Country and other countries, and he was even ready to dream of replacing the Blue Star Country. But the reality is cruel, just when Yuan Toe united the powerhouses of various countries and wanted to further persecute Danny and force the Blue Star Country to redivide the sphere of influence of various countries, Linda suddenly appeared at this time, and immediately completely shocked this group of clowns.
It turned out that Linda's deliberate hiding was the design of the top management of the Blue Star Country. After all, the re-establishment of the post-war order in Dongyanzhou, as well as the establishment of ASEAN and other cross-era reform measures, will inevitably deeply offend the interests of the old forces of various countries, and if we do not take measures to eliminate these forces, it will be difficult for the Blue Star Country to advance its plan, but openly coercing the reform of various countries by force is not what the Blue Star Country wants, and it is even more difficult to convince the people. Only by deliberately showing weakness and making all countries have a contemptuous mentality towards the Blue Star Country can it be possible to find out these opposition forces one by one, and the reform plan can be realized.
Lynda's reappearance immediately silenced the opposition forces in various countries, and all of Danny's proposals were approved without objection. But what happened next greatly shocked the entire Dongyan Continent, and in the next year, the forces opposing the Blue Star Country disappeared one after another, either its core members suddenly disappeared overnight, or they were suddenly replaced by other forces, losing control of the country's power, and the original toe was nowhere to be found, as if there was no such person in the world. The top leaders of various countries are all silent about these phenomena, and no one dares to raise any doubts about them.
The reform ideas of the Blue Star Country have finally been fully and thoroughly implemented in the countries of Dongyanzhou. With the establishment of ASEAN, the further opening up between countries, the gradual establishment of market mechanisms, communication and trade between countries, science and technology, culture and other people-to-people exchanges are becoming more and more frequent, Bluestar continues to transport its own modern industrial products to various countries at the same time, but also has its own culture, science and technology, social system and values with the characteristics of human beings on the earth continue to be transported to all countries, and profoundly affect the countries of Dongyanzhou.
In the past 20 years, Dongyanzhou has undergone tremendous changes under the leadership of the Blue Star Country. Countries have gradually shaken off the feudal and backward state of life of the past. Railways and highways began to connect cities in various countries, and each city established radio and postal systems, and set up various communication networks, further narrowing the distance between people in various countries. Minerals from deep hiatus began to be excavated and used as raw materials for factories that sprung up like mushrooms, and large swaths of industrial zones and high-tech industrial parks appeared in various countries. The abandoned farmland flourished again, and the cultivation method of combining cultivation magic and mechanization began to make the farmland abundant. The products and specialties of various countries are transported to all parts of Dongyanzhou by the extensive logistics network, and the exchanges between people are becoming more and more frequent. Cities began to build schools, hospitals, stadiums, and other buildings needed to provide infrastructure for the population. The legal system of various countries with reference to the Blue Star Country has also been gradually established and implemented, constantly regulating people's behavior... The people of the countries of Dongyanzhou have continued to learn from each other through frequent exchanges, gradually abandoning the barbaric living conditions of the past, and the cultural quality of the people and the degree of social civilization have been continuously improved.
Nowadays, all over Hanzhong City, high-rise buildings are towering, and commercial centers are crowded with people, busy with traffic, and extremely prosperous. Not only Hanzhong City, there are more than 300 cities with a population of more than 1 million in the entire Blue Star Country, and the process of urbanization is getting faster and faster, according to the estimation of the Blue Star Clan's high-level management, the development level of the overall civilization has been equivalent to the level of the most developed country on the earth in the 70s of the 20th century.
After looking at the bustling street scene around him for a while, Rangi's mood was a little better, and he couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought of his responsibility.
When ASEAN was established and the Blue Star Country and other countries in Dongyanzhou embarked on a normal path of development, the Blue Star Nation held an important meeting. This meeting was a meeting of the replacement of the old and the new of the Blue Star Clan, and all the high-level leaders of the Blue Star Clan who were working on the front line chose to take a back seat. Among them, Tang Long, Schroeder, Ivanov, Modern and other Blue Star Army generals in addition to retaining their military ranks, devoted themselves to retreat and cultivate, hoping to reach the cultivation above the infant realm as soon as possible, so as to improve the military strength of the Blue Star Country. Although Sonia and the others are not combatants, they also choose to improve their cultivation and lifespan through cultivation. Veteran researchers such as Arden and Kang Nai are practicing and striving to increase their life expectancy, while devoting themselves to the research and development work they love the most. As president, Danny couldn't wait to resign from the presidency and join the research team of Bizet and Leo. And Lin Da, the weapon of the Blue Star Country, and Bai Yu both retired and lived a free life.
This choice of the first generation of Blue Star people is the result of their careful consideration. As human elites who have condensed all the inherited knowledge of mankind, they certainly know that in order for the country to develop in a long-term and stable manner, they must not allow power to be too concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people, otherwise it will easily lead to corruption and injustice, which is a truth that has been proven many times by history. As a result, all the first-generation elders decided to hand over the power in their hands, and only set up a supervisory body called the Senate Council, which took turns to supervise the operation of the leadership of the Blue Star Country, and this so-called Senate actually did not have much power, more often than not, it was just hidden behind the scenes. The other veterans who did not have the task of supervising were retired, cultivated, and engaged in scientific research, and no one interfered in the military and political power of the Blue Star Country.
The heavy responsibility of governing the country of Blue Star was naturally handed over to the younger generation represented by Rangi. The vast majority of these young generations are the descendants of the members of the Blue Star Autonomous Group who came to this world and combined with the locals. Under the influence of their parents, they have been very yearning for the earth civilization since they were children, and they are bent on building a modern country that knows the earth civilization. The older generation of the Blue Star Clan was extremely relieved of these young people and let them do it, and the younger one did not live up to the expectations of the elders, and soon became the leader of the Blue Star Country in various fields.
But now, Rangie has encountered a huge problem, an important scientific research experiment that has been secretly developed by the Blue Star Country for several years has failed many times, and almost all the billions of blue yuan invested have been wasted, which makes him quite helpless. After some thoughtful thought, Rankie stared at the last suggestion in the secret report on the table, gritted his teeth, grabbed the phone on the table, and carefully dialed a number that he had almost never called.
