Chapter 742: The Envoys from the Central Star Region (Thanks to the leader of Qichong Qinyi·Zhao Xin)
The magnificent music sounded on the planet where the Tear Moon Flower Crown lived.
In order to celebrate the brilliant achievements of the federal government in the past two years and rebuild the confidence of the majority of residents in the government and the future, the government decided to hold a grand military parade on the National Day.
At noon, the streets of the first district were crowded with people. They stood in neat blocks separated by long belts and waited patiently. From time to time, unmanned self-discipline units to maintain public order flew across the sky. The scene was noisy and slightly quiet.
A sharp high note, like a sword out of its sheath, opened the curtain. Its arrival announced the beginning of the entire military parade.
On the ground in the middle of the street, the dark gray magnetic steel ground flipped, and then a blue electric current passed by. Two parallel rail cars drove past quickly. The airflow they brought made the clothes and hats of the audience in the front row flutter, attracting bursts of surprised calls.
Then the train stopped and all the side doors opened.
Bang, with the sound of neat footsteps like the collision of steel, two lines of trumpeters in neat military uniforms marched out in formation, and then the train doors closed and started to move away again.
After that, the two lines of military musicians were like two black walls, standing straight on both sides of the street. They held trombones and pointed their trumpets to one side like a goose-wing formation.
While the audience was still immersed in this disciplined formation, a firework that emitted red smoke and bright stars rushed into the sky and then exploded.
At this time, all the military musicians raised their trombones, and the midday sun fell on the gilded trumpets, as if molten gold was pouring down. The musicians' raised necks were bulging with veins due to their efforts, and the deep and solemn music spread in all directions like a raging wave.
Under the trumpets of the trombones, bright red pennants were arranged in a straight long line, fluttering in the wind, like rolling red waves of fire.
Then, teams of soldiers holding high flags entered the venue. They were in unison and upright, and the flags pierced the sky like spears. As they advanced, the black and red waves rolled endlessly.
Each flag was printed with the words "P&S", which represented the "Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star" alliance, the largest political party faction in the current Federal Central Parliament.
Since the cooperation between the two factions, the economy of the Federal Central Star Region has been greatly restored and developed this year, sweeping away the broken and pessimistic situation in the past.
However, the concepts and consciousness of many residents have not yet changed, or in other words, they still do not recognize the greatness of the "Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star" alliance. In order to establish this firm trust and to expand the influence of the "Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star" alliance to all levels and corners of the entire central star region, a grand ceremony is essential.
When the hearts of the audience were ignited by the magnificent and high-pitched trumpet sound, the big drums with silver edges and golden hoops were struck to the music. The moment the drumsticks fell, the eardrums of the extraordinary creatures trembled, as if thunder was pressed into the earth, and the trembling of the vibrations spread from the soles of the feet to every audience member on the scene.
At this time, the salute car in the team was also ignited, and countless gold foil flowers were sprinkled on the crowd amid the roar of the cannons. The enthusiastic cheers spread along the streets like a tide and quickly pushed into the distance, igniting this boiling world.
After that, rows of soldiers wearing advanced exoskeleton armor began to appear in the team. They marched side by side with cutting-edge electromagnetic weapons in their hands. The well-defined gun bodies were matte and dark in color, exuding a solemn and murderous atmosphere, passing through the vision of each audience member.
Behind them was a team of tall mechas. These tall mechas stood in the crowd and slowly passed by like a mountain overlooking a river. The 60-meter-tall figure made some viewers have to look up to see the whole picture. The huge deterrent power brought by it made the audience both afraid and excited.
The team continued to move forward, and then there were arrays of various war weapons and soldiers. Occasionally, fighter planes flew low in the sky, making many people very excited.
"That's it!"
"That's the most advanced fighter plane that appeared in the Shuangshu star field two years ago!" Someone pointed out that the fighter plane flying slowly in the sky was like an inverted V triangle, with a pure white fuselage and a light style. The built-in fan blades of the thrusters on both sides rotated, causing the air and sunlight behind them to break and distort.
At the end of the team, a series of autonomous drone units flew across the sky. They kept climbing and were arranged in the sky. Then they projected a huge virtual image of a starship that blocked the sun downwards. The images of these starships were directly and synchronously collected from the fleets marching in the star field.
At this moment, in the space outside the Twin Trees Star Region, the Fifth Fleet, which had recovered most of its capacity, was slowly crossing the orbit. The starships were arranged in several layers, and each layer was like a wide plane, arranged according to the size and type of warships. The battleships formed two parallel straight lines in the middle, with them as the dividing line, and various warships extended to both sides like wings.
In this way, the fleets of one plane and another were stacked layer by layer, slowly flying past the outer side of the "World Tree" living star facing the sun in the galaxy.
In the center of these tens of thousands of warships, a small special warship slowly passed by. Compared with the battleships that were about ten kilometers long, its hundreds of meters long body was as small as a grain of rice. Now, in the dark golden transparent dome of this warship, Pulin stood in a dignified and fiery red dress, standing on a special high platform, waving at the starship array outside the transparent glass.
This process was recorded by dozens of cameras in the warship and synchronized to various news media, so that the image of Pulin Koko was linked to those cold and powerful warships outside, giving the audience a strong impact and making many people have the urge to surrender.
"People worship the strong. If you show them an extremely powerful impression, then your words will become the code of their actions."
After this military parade, the support rate of the residents in the central star region for the "Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star" alliance continued to rise, and some of the doubts in the past were suppressed by the huge momentum and did not dare to show their opinions.
Thanks to this, the "Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star" united faction defeated its opponents in the central star region one after another in the following years, and completely became the ruler of the Federal Central Council. The ambition and confidence that had been suppressed in the past gradually recovered again.

"Hello everyone, this should be the last time I stand on the stage..." In front of many cameras and audiences, "Mercury Bell" Fui performed a farewell ceremony.
"...I'm very happy to have gotten to know you all over these years. I still can't forget the faces in my memory."
"But that's all for now. Thank you all for your company over the years. I'd like to live a relatively quiet life in the future, not as a singer, but as an ordinary person."
After this grand farewell performance, 'Mercury Bell' Foy withdrew from the public eye. Although many viewers were reluctant to let her go, they could only respect her choice at this time.
Each generation of audiences has its own preferences and preferences. For many young people, the name Foy is not familiar, because she really became famous more than 80 years ago, and many of her former fans and followers have passed away.
Although there was a discussion on the Federation's network about Foy's retirement, it was soon covered by new hot topics. After all, she really had very few fans.
After that, 'Wind Calyx Fruit' Shui Yanqing took over Foy's position and appeared more in the public eye. This water-blue-haired singer was gradually accepted by more people and became one of the top five singers in the Eastern Star Region.
——————
In December of the same year, the federal government of Lusheng Star Region in the Eastern Star Region announced the results of the economic development and clean political environment in the past few years at the Winter Festival, shocking the Eastern Star Region with its excellent results.
Compared with many star regions with stagnant economic development or even recession, Lusheng Star Region, which has a low starting point, a general development environment, and no advantageous conditions, can turn the situation around in just a few years, which surprised many people who were originally watching the show.
In the past, even if the "Black Smut Faction" seized the power of the local ruling faction, many people still did not look favorably on this newly established faction organization with a weak foundation, because they did not have mature ruling experience and did not have development projects with huge advantages.
"A good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if they have good ideas at the beginning, they will soon disperse like duckweed on the water." This was the thought and comment of many people at the time.
However, the facts have slapped many people in the face, making some celebrities who made arbitrary judgments in the past be ridiculed and denounced by people.
In the current era, the three major groups in the Federation have emerged, and they are all moving forward in different directions. Whether it is the social environment or the economic situation, they are all developing or recovering all the way. This is definitely a happy event for most people, but for residents of other star regions who are not on these three carriages, they can only envy and worry.
The Eastern Star Region was once the best developed region in the Federation except for the Central Star Region. There are many star regions with superior environments and prosperous societies here. However, in the drastic changes in the past decade, it has gradually fallen behind the main body of the Federation. This huge gap has made many residents of the Eastern Star Region feel lost and uneasy.
"Everyone wants to catch up quickly, otherwise it will always be like this, and anxiety and discomfort will be as uncomfortable as ants and insects biting."
"In my opinion, the Eastern Star Region must undergo major changes today before it can regroup."
Under a burst of urgent emotional needs, many large companies have launched new concepts or new projects in the Eastern Star Region to obtain the support of the local star region government. With people's hearts floating, many secret organizations are also beginning to expand and vigorously develop members. At
this time, the envoys from the Central Star Region also knocked on the door of the Eastern Star Region.
The delegation not only has a large number of official personnel, but also representatives and personnel sent by many companies within the "Brilliant Stars" organization. They will introduce and promote their products and projects to people from all walks of life in the Eastern Star Region, and assist the delegation in lobbying local forces that are eager to boost the economy and seek development.
Faced with this "massive invasion" of the delegation, the three major factions in the Eastern Star Region that are currently vaguely in control of the situation feel a deep crisis, and they have to temporarily join forces to deal with it.
"Today, I invite everyone to discuss how to deal with the envoys sent by the Central Star Region."
Luo Fenghua sat in the first seat in a dignified and gorgeous dress, entertaining the singers and representatives from various star regions. Now on her left is Otiberius, the "Purple Flower", on her right is Shui Yanqing, the "Wind Calyx Fruit", and below are Shela Lanco, the "Rhythm of the Star Ring", Odney, the "White Swan", Gwenna, the "Pulp Boat", etc.
"If these delegations are allowed to contact the factions of various star regions, many star regions will fall into their arms and become an extension of their power." A representative explained the current situation.
"However, we cannot openly stop or suppress such behavior, because the other party's behavior is legal, and the Eastern Star Region cannot directly confront the Central Star Region at present."
"In other words, we can only use other methods to hinder the other party's behavior, right?" Shela Lanke's ice-white hair was like several interlaced star track rings woven behind her head.
"Yes, it doesn't matter if the other party sees through it, they won't protest openly." Maintaining superficial harmony is a rule that both parties must abide by.
"If so..." The discussion below began in a low voice, and some people did not speak, but lowered their heads to think.
"Just sitting in the conference room will definitely not solve the problem. Let's do this. Every time their envoys arrive in a star region, or every time they send out a team, we will send people to intercept and interfere. Even if we can't completely stop them, we must fully understand their methods and action trajectories, so that we can discuss countermeasures later."
"This is a good suggestion, it can be implemented." Many people think this suggestion is very useful. When fighting with others, intelligence is the most important thing. If you know how the other party persuades local factions and forces, it will be easy to deal with.
"Secondly, the Central Star Region does have a great advantage. Whether in military strength, political influence, or economic development, we are now far behind. If we want to keep fighting, we must have our own strong capital."
"That is to say?" Someone asked carefully.
"Political is impossible. The other party has a special status and it is difficult for us to change it, unless we have a big split like the Western Star Region. Economic development needs to try hard to find a new breakthrough, but-"
"Military aspects can take action immediately."
"According to my observation and speculation, Pulin Koko and her faction are not the kind of gentle people, but a group of people with great ambitions and desires. They have made every effort to restore the combat power of the Fifth Fleet in recent years. This is definitely not to suppress the Central Star Region and prevent rebellion, but to meet the expectation of recovering losses."
"More than ten years ago, the Western Star Region won a great victory in the civil war, causing the Central Council and many factions in the Central Star Region to lose control and interests of other star regions. They must be unwilling to accept this. Now that they have become strong again, I believe this unwillingness will soon evolve into a realistic move, and this time sending an envoy is a test."
"Test whether our Eastern Star Region is united, test whether we can defeat them one by one, test our strength and attitude. If we show signs of weakness, the other side will soon attack and demand again, step by step forcing us into a desperate situation until we surrender our current sovereignty and are governed and ruled by the other side."
The representative's remarks caused an uproar at the meeting. Although many people had some concerns and anxieties in their hearts before the meeting, they did not know where this feeling came from. Now that it was pointed out, they felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"So that's how it is. It seems that we must succeed in blocking this time, otherwise we will face more problems in the future."
"That's right, but even if we develop the military and expand the fleet now, it will take time. We can't turn against the other side immediately."
...
"If it really doesn't work, we can only lead the other side to interfere and balance, but this kind of thing is like driving a tiger to swallow a wolf, so we need to be very careful."
Happy New Year everyone! ! (*^▽^*)
