Chapter 591 The Rise of the Rose Court
One month later, all 27 star regions in the west belonged to the group to which Blanche belonged. When the last star region was announced to be incorporated, a grand coronation ceremony was also held in the Hemu star region. With the help of hyperspace communication technology, this ceremony will be broadcasted in real time to the entire western star region.
In the magnificent and tall hall of the Ten-pointed Sun Temple, guards dressed in classical armor and cloaks stood one by one. They held special dark gold long-handled lightsabers, which were shaped like spears, and the white cloaks behind them had the "Ten-pointed Sun" emblem. These guards were all recognized by Blanche and were absolutely loyal warriors. Their strength was above Sequence 6. The seemingly classical armor was another style of exoskeleton armor, but it was modified for ceremony and majesty.
In addition to the dark gold armored guards standing upright on both sides of the hall, there are white-robed singing priests every three meters on the inside. They are dressed in white skirts and white gauze, with golden "Ten-pointed Sun" masks on their faces, covering their eyes, leaving only their mouths and delicate jaws exposed. These white-robed singing priests are assistants trained by the cult to help Blanche, like the half of the singing girl. They are completely loyal to Blanche. After special extraordinary job training, they can actively let their spiritual frequency approach Blanche, so as to always maintain a state of connection with Blanche in consciousness. In other words, they are Blanche's glasses and ears, and can use themselves as beacons to spread Blanche's various abilities as a singing girl.
At first, the big bell representing 27 star fields rang 27 times in total.
Then, 1,259 long-horn trumpets played, and the humming sound spread throughout the city. All noisy sounds were quiet at this moment. On the huge square open space where nearly a million people gathered, projection screens lit up one by one, and the picture was the door in the deepest part of the hall, which was slowly pushed open at this moment.
Then Blanche, in her dress, walked down the steps step by step. Five large shuttles flew side by side in the sky. They flew forward from behind, and countless golden petals fell from the sky. Such flower rain filled the sky of the city, and it reflected a light golden halo in the sun, which was particularly beautiful and gorgeous.
At this point, the whole square was filled with cheers like a tsunami, and the light golden petals slowly fell, covering the red carpet in front of Blanche. After that,
when Blanche walked past the guards on both sides of the hall, the long-handled lightsabers in the hands of these guards would hit the ground heavily, making a heavy steel collision sound, which was extremely solemn.
Finally, Blanche came to the outside of the hall. At this moment, nearly a million people in the square were also watching from afar. There were cameras and self-discipline units for maintaining public order suspended in the sky.
Looking at this scene, she took a deep breath, then closed her eyes slightly, pressed her chest lightly with her white-gloved fingers, and opened her lips slightly.
"Residents of the Western Star Region, I am Blanche Mocolela. In order to get rid of hundreds of years of injustice and poverty, I solemnly announce that a new country is established here."
"In order not to repeat past mistakes, we will no longer adopt a federal system, but a more centralized royal court system. Therefore, we will have a new name, the 'Rose Royal Court', and the country's highest decision-making body will be the 'Golden Court'. It will have 12 seats and 108 secondary seats, and these seats will be divided according to different classes and regions." Blanche read out the new national constitution and future vision.
According to the new royal court system, the 12 seats will be selected according to different regions and classes. For example, there are two seats representing the interests of large enterprises, two seats representing the interests of workers in the workplace, four seats representing the lower class, one seat representing the scientific and technological field, one seat representing the cultural and religious field, one seat representing the legal field, and finally a seat set up exclusively for the singer.
The advantage of such a separation is that even if large companies sponsor the competition, they can only compete for the two big seats, instead of influencing the participation and votes of all members as in the past.
The election of each seat is also divided into different ways. If you are running for a seat representing the lower class, you must naturally disclose your identity and experience, and be responsible for and fight for the interests of the class you represent.
This uniform is derived from the ancient True Red Empire. A similar country was established in the middle of the Fourth Era. At that time, the Blood King Court was similar. The princes were divided according to their regions and different ethnic groups. Each prince led his own ethnic group to participate in the politics and military of the empire.
Except for the change of the highest decision-making body from the Central Council to the Golden Court, other government agencies and frameworks have not changed too drastically, because this set of government agencies has been a very mature and stable model for thousands of years of human civilization. The role of the original Tribunal is now replaced by the newly established Tribunal, which has a similar model and function, but the personnel are selected by Blanche to ensure faith and loyalty.
'Although I don't know what the effect of this is, at least the grassroots groups are no longer ignored because of the lack of voice channels and opportunities to participate in politics.' Blanche said this during the consultation.
After the ceremony, the entire Western Star Region entered a boiling state, and the Central Council was determined to eliminate division and rebellion.
For this reason, the powerful state machine of the Federation finally started to operate slowly. Perhaps because of decay and rust, it is not as strong as it was four hundred years ago, but it is still a huge and unshakable behemoth.
After 13 votes, the Fifth Fleet, the main force of the Central Force, left its base and slowly headed for the Western Star Region. As one of the highest armed forces of the Federation, it has 1,800 "Mountain Copper Dragon" class battleships (the "Mountain Copper Dragon" class battleships are the seventh generation of complete battleships of the Federation, and the "Brass Dragon" class is its simplified and affordable version), about 4,200 "Megalodon" class, "Wind Flag" class, "Vortex" class, three types of cruisers, about 12,000 "Thorn Rose" class, "Golden Cage" class, two types of aircraft carriers, and the rest of the destroyers, reconnaissance boats, transport ships, etc., about 40,000 ships.
Such military power is overwhelming the entire Western Star Region in terms of both quantity and quality. It is no wonder that the Central Council did not rush, but held a meeting and argued for a long time before making up its mind to suppress the rebellion.
In the huge space port, a group of people stood on the ground like tiny grains of sand, looking up at the transparent curtain wall of the port thousands of meters long, and the fleet slowly passing by like a fish crossing the sea, many people were excited.
'Perhaps the Federation has decayed, but the legacy left four hundred years ago is still extremely powerful. This power will always be the ballast stone to maintain the stability of the Federation. '
"The Third Fleet guards the Crown Star Region, the Fourth Fleet is permanently stationed in the Twin Trees Star Region, the Sixth Fleet deters the central region and cannot be easily moved, the Seventh Fleet is difficult to command, and the Eighth Fleet is mostly used for preparation and training. Only the Fifth Fleet can be easily mobilized."
"Although the existence of the singer Blanche in the Western Star Region has made everyone united, in the face of absolute power, nothing can be changed by willpower alone."
"The warships, equipment, mechas, weapons, and even the talents and strength of the personnel of the main fleet are all superior to those of the local star regions. Even if the number of fleets in the Western Star Region is doubled, it will be difficult to match the Fifth Fleet."
"Victory is inevitable, I just hope that this civil war can end smoothly."
"As a retired veteran, I am not optimistic about post-war appeasement and stability maintenance. I am afraid that after this victory, there will still be local struggles and chaos that will last for nearly a hundred years."
"Although Orles has emerged as a rising star and has the strength of a Moon-class singer, she is currently unable to unite the entire federation. Unless she reaches the pinnacle of singers in the future and becomes a Sun-class existence, unifying the entire federation, and then using this power to subdue the western star regions, and then slowly and gently reform, the conflicts that have accumulated over the years can be slowly resolved."
"Ice elves live much longer than humans. She still has more than 200 years. No wonder many aristocratic families and large financial groups are optimistic about her and betting on her."
"Let's go. It will take three days for the starships stationed here to fully assemble and leave the port. There is no need to wait any longer."
————
As the news of the Fifth Fleet's departure reached the western star region, the 'Rose Royal Court', which was originally immersed in excitement and cheers, immediately cooled down. Many residents began to panic, fearing the punishment given by the Federation after failure.
"Yes, the Fifth Fleet is very powerful, but it is impossible to give up and surrender." At the military discussion meeting, as a newly promoted young general, Yade expressed his own views.
"I will write down the information I have obtained from serving in the main fleet in detail and distribute it to everyone. This includes the military framework, training ethics, behavioral habits, common command tactics, etc. of the main fleet. If you can study it well, you will definitely gain a certain advantage in the confrontation."
"But these still cannot withstand the absolute gap in strength, Yade." A middle-aged general with a mustache knocked on the table and warned the young man not to be too proud and arrogant.
"I am just contributing my own strength. If you have a better way, I am very grateful." Yade spoke sincerely. This humble and frank look made the middle-aged general a little slow to react for a while. After all, meetings and quarrels within the army have become the norm in the past.
"Okay, I went a little too far." He soon realized that now was not the time to argue about these issues. It was just that among the group of people, Yade's too young appearance made him feel a little bit uncomfortable. After all, he had achieved this position with many years of experience, while Yade was promoted by Blanche.
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Blanche, who was sitting at the top, glanced at them and took the initiative to speak.
After that, the generals and staff officers in the audience continued to discuss and began to imagine how to arrange and use strategies to make up for the gap in strength. The scene was also a little chaotic.
Several important figures sitting next to Blanche were also discussing in a low voice at this moment. They did not avoid Blanche when they were communicating. In fact, this was also a disguised way to indirectly tell the singer some situations.
"The current situation is very urgent. Even if we block the hyperspace channel in the entire Western Star Region, the vanguard of the Fifth Fleet will arrive in the Shark Star Region in half a month."
"In the current state, if we fight in the Shark Star Region, there is almost no chance of winning."
"A head-on decisive battle is not feasible. We can only take risks and use some unconventional tactics."
"If we activate the military factories in the entire Western Star Region and build ships with all our strength, how long will it take to produce 1,000 battleships?"
"Haha, I would say that even with a full set of drawings, technology, and personnel, it will take three years." A gray-haired technical expert shook his head.
"Originally, due to the split that year, there were not many military industrial enterprises in the Western Star Region. The fleet starships we currently have are mostly manufactured in the Central Star Region and the Southern Star Region. Their main raw materials, including various special steels and accessories, also come from different star regions. It is not possible to assemble them in a short time."
"So, doesn't it mean that if one ship is damaged, there will be one less ship?" A Grandmaster of the Sequence 8 faction who was sitting frowned. He usually focused on the practice of the Transcendental Sequence and did not know the intelligence on the military industry.
"That's right, so you all supported independence at that time. I was surprised. I thought you had some trump cards and good ideas." The technical expert took off his glasses, shook his head and wiped them.
"Anyway, I'm old, and failure doesn't matter. I just pity those young kids, alas."
After he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
"It seems that we can only pull out those rusty old guys and try." After a long time, a thin and short old man sitting in the corner slowly spoke.
"What do you mean?" The technical expert not far away seemed to remember something, but was not sure.
"You should have thought that 400 years ago, the Western Star Region was also a place where federal military industrial enterprises were concentrated, and it was even an important production site for the fifth generation battleships."
"Hey, no way, old man Hisoka, you really don't want to dig out old guys older than you from the ground to work." The expert put on his glasses again in surprise, as if he was ready to take a good look at this old man.
"Why not? We are now on the defensive, and the Fifth Fleet has a goal that must be accomplished. That is to say, we don't actually need to create a starship that can travel through time and space, or even move. We just need to accumulate enough firepower equivalent to that of a battleship in the Hemu Star Region."
"We still have the technology of the fifth-generation battleship, but we can't produce it because of the loss of the patent. But now that we have re-established our country, we don't have to worry about the patent issue. Moreover, the firepower of the fifth-generation battleship is not much weaker than that of the seventh-generation, but the technology and main gun structure are very different."
"But..." The technical expert actually had a lot of questions to ask, but was quickly interrupted by others.
"I say, don't always say buts. Now that there is such a possible method, we can only seize it and try it." The leader of this faction has extraordinary strength that the technical expert can hardly reach. Just mental oppression made him shut up.
"Well, in that case, I can only cooperate with you fully. After all, for the sake of the people of the entire West, we cannot give up."
"May the Rose King's Court survive, may the Ten-Pointed Sun shine, Isanissa--" Everyone silently recited the prayer.
