Attending your own funeral is not an impromptu move.
The Earth Federation needs a flag to unite the strength of all people.
And a dead self is far more valuable in this regard than a living self. And as long as he dies, all the black history he has had will be wiped out, and all war actions that have been criticized by the international community will be re-interpreted positively.
After all, a man who sacrificed himself for all mankind, even at the risk of blowing up the entire planet Mars, could never define what he had done before as selfish. It’s just that he sees further than everyone else and understands more deeply what the war between civilizations really means...
Of course, these are things that historians will do a century later.
On the second Friday after the explosion of Mars, which was the last day of May 2026, the Earth Federation was officially established at the Earth Defense Alliance headquarters in Koro City by Kerwin, acting executive officer of the Defense Alliance.
In fact, this is somewhat smooth sailing, because just a week ago, senior officials and dignitaries from various countries left here on the Origin. The dissatisfaction in the hearts of the abandoned people was on the verge of breaking out.
Until the day before the Earth Federation was established, some countries were in a state of anarchy, or semi-anarchy. Although not all countries have tried to re-elect or appoint a transitional government, they have not achieved any good results.
Because that list of people boarding the ship has overdrafted the credit of governments around the world to an all-time low.
The most important thing is that no one wants to taste the fear when the end is coming...
From now on, cooperation between countries will no longer be limited to the space and military fields. Political, economic, cultural and other aspects will also be included in the scope of cooperation. There will no longer be any distinction between countries, and there will be only one flag standing over the solar system.
With the earth painted in the shape of a half-moon bow as the center, the federal flag with a blue background was raised in the square in front of the Federal Building amid applause.
More than 160 countries have become signatories of the Earth Federation, and the remaining more than 30 countries and regions that have not joined are designated as reserved areas. Most of these countries are backward in strength, or have been in a state of anarchy for a long time, or are in the midst of civil war, and they even have no idea what is happening in the outside world.
Most of these countries and regions are concentrated in north-central Africa, the Korean Peninsula, and scattered from West Asia to the Balkan Peninsula.
After the Earth Federation is established, it will impose strict military restrictions on these countries, blockade all weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, and retain the right to enforce them. Not only that, the inflow of rare earth elements needed for the development of military industry and modern electronics industry will also be strictly restricted.
On the economic level, the World Federal Reserve will merge and acquire central banks of various countries, and the World Dollar will serve as the only currency in the world, circulating among the 160 contracting countries. "Bit Spirit" monitors global economic data in real time and formulates monetary policies that are consistent with actual conditions.
The federal election will take place on the last day of next month.
Before the election of the president, elections will be held for local councils in each federal region to elect local councilors who formulate local policies.
Immediately afterwards, the local councils will prepare for referendum elections in accordance with federal laws, and refer to various indicators such as population base, industry, and economic aggregate, to elect federal members ranging from one to ten people to represent the local councils in the federal parliament.
When the local parliaments and the federal parliament are established, then there is the election of the federal president.
Each federal region will swear allegiance to the federal constitution and formulate local laws based on the federal constitution.
It is conservatively estimated that it will take one to two years to complete this series of procedures. The difficulty of bringing people of different cultures, skin colors, and races together to form a new country is far more difficult than the slogan "The solar system belongs to all mankind."
But fortunately, after experiencing the fear on the eve of the doomsday, people's optimism about the prospects of the Earth Federation is enough to tolerate all difficulties on this road.
After all, it's the only way to survive...
…
The federal election will begin directly with the second president.
As a hero who saved the entire Earth civilization, the Earth Federation Provisional Council unanimously decided to award Jiang Chen the titles of the first Federation President and the first Federation Fleet Commander. It is said that Kerwin also proposed to build two bronze statues at the entrance of the Federal Building, one to commemorate the disappeared fourth planet in the solar system, and the other to commemorate the great man who saved civilization from danger.
Of course, this proposal was not ultimately discussed at the Provisional Committee’s round table.
As for the reason…
Of course it was Jiang Chen himself.
"To be honest, I'm really surprised...how did you survive that explosion?" After confirming that the person standing in front of him was Jiang Chen himself and not some counterfeit, Kerwin's jaw changed from his open mouth. From that moment on, they could never be together again.
"A lot of stories have happened since then. I'm afraid two days and two nights won't be enough to tell them all." Sitting down at Kerwin's desk, Jiang Chen sighed softly, "How is it? I'm leaving. What happened these days?"
"We... held a funeral for you and the 2,400 fallen soldiers, established the Earth Federation on the basis of the Defense Alliance, rebuilt the Federation fleet, formed the Earth Federation Provisional Council, and sent peacekeeping troops to chaotic areas and anarchist areas... also A property liquidation committee has been established.”
"What is that?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Liquidating the assets of the passengers on the Origin and on Earth... They left, leaving a lot of mess behind. Many large companies lost their legal representatives, and more than 600 billion yuan of assets died on In the bank account. If we do not properly deal with these remaining issues, I am afraid that we will have to be defeated by ourselves again before being defeated by harmonious civilization." When saying this, Kerwin's expression was quite painful.
It can be seen that he is not good at dealing with this aspect of things.
"We'll talk about these things later. I just asked a few random questions. When I came here today, I mainly wanted to ask for your opinion on another matter." He leaned on the chair and said this. Jiang Chen's eyes remained on Kerwin.
Unable to figure out what Jiang Chen was planning to ask, Kerwin was stunned for a moment and then spoke.
"You say?"
"On the Choice of the First President of the Confederacy."
"Isn't it you?" Kerwin said with a smile.
"...I mean the second term. Not a superficial title, but the true federal president." Looking at Kerwin, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Are you interested?"
Kerwin held his breath.
For a moment, countless complicated expressions flashed through his eyes.
The silence lasted for a long time in the office.
Finally, a sigh broke the silence.
"...I," those complicated expressions faded from Kerwin's pupils, and he closed his eyes and shook his head gently, "I am not qualified for this job. If you are asking for my personal opinion , of course I would prefer to stay in the Star Ring Trade and Space Department. But if you already have an arrangement in mind, why bother asking me."
After hearing Kerwin's answer, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and stood up from his chair.
“I always have to consult my employees.”
After a pause, Jiang Chen put on a serious expression, stared into Kerwin's eyes, and continued.
"From today on, you are the CEO of Star Ring Trading. Star Ring Trading will have a federal parliamentary seat in the Earth Federation as a company."
"In this case, the total number of seats held by the new country will reach eleven. Other committee representatives will not agree..." Kerwin looked a little confused. In the past, it was okay for Jiang Chen to sit in the position of executive officer, but now Jiang Chen is no longer there. Sitting in the position of acting executive officer, he finally realized how difficult those committee members were.
However, his boss apparently did not take his difficulties to heart.
"Convince them, this is the task I give you."
"By the way, the appointment letter will be issued in the form of an electronic announcement through the Star Circle Trade Central Database. We will probably communicate through that thing in the future."
"Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you."
Patting the confused Kerwin on the shoulder, Jiang Chen laughed, turned and walked out of the office.
