Homeland Galaxy, Federation Star, Liberty Square.
As the seat of the capital of the Human Federation, the Federation Star was once the home of all people. It can be said that everyone in the Human Federation has a direct or indirect relationship with the Federation Star, because as early as thousands of years ago, those human survivors who finally came to the Southern Alpha Galaxy after tens of thousands of years of voyage were here. Based on the victory and annihilation of the indigenous civilization, become the master of the homeland galaxy. After that, as the human footprint expanded step by step, a large number of colonized galaxies were obtained, and then they gradually migrated outward. Just like this, the ancestors of all people now come from the Federation Star. It's just that the current Federation Star is no longer what it looked like thousands of years ago.
The current Federation Star, although still the seat of the capital of the Human Federation, has no permanent residents.
Those who live in the Federal Star are all personnel from various federal agencies, including executives of the federal government, members of the Federal Parliament, and military personnel.
Of course, as the jurisdiction of the Human Federation expands, the scale of various federal agencies has also expanded, and the number of federal personnel employed has increased simultaneously. Even in peacetime, there are hundreds of millions of inhabitants on the Federation Star, and during wars, there are more than 500 million inhabitants on the Federation Star.
About half of these 500 million federal workers live in the City of Hope where Freedom Square is located.
In fact, Liberty Square is the symbol of the Federation Star.
This square has existed for more than four thousand years and has witnessed the rise and fall of the human federation.
As early as more than 4,500 years ago, in the early days of the establishment of the Human Federation, someone proposed to build a symbolic building on the Federation Star. It's just that the conditions at the time were extremely bad, construction was being carried out in various places, and there were no extra resources to build such a symbolic building, so this proposal was shelved. It was not until hundreds of years later, that is, after the outbreak of the First Greenwich War, that in the face of tough enemies, when almost everyone was desperate, Marshal Yu Tingxuan built this square in order to inspire people. Strictly speaking, it is not construction, because there are no buildings at all and it does not consume too much resources.
This is just a square and the largest square in the federal jurisdiction of mankind.
When Grand Marshal Yu Tingxuan decided to build this square, he clearly mentioned that it was a square symbolizing victory and freedom, and was specially prepared for soldiers who returned triumphantly to defeat powerful enemies. For thousands of years thereafter, it became a stage for triumphants.
When the first phalanx appeared, the people around started cheering.
Walking in front of the phalanx was a young general, and behind him were 10,000 soldiers with solemn expressions.
This general is Yang Yi.
However, the soldiers following him were not from Feng Martian, but from nine theaters, to be precise, they were officers and soldiers from the headquarters of the nine theaters.
Back to the home galaxy, Yang Yi learned about the military parade arrangements.
Although very dissatisfied, Yang Yi has no other choice. If he had known it earlier, he would take the army that fought bloody battles with the enemy on the Mars and return to the homeland galaxy, at least part of it, because in Yang Yi's view, only those soldiers who fight alongside him are eligible to be free to set foot. The right of the square. In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on the military department, because this military parade was originally out of compliance.
According to tradition, the victory parade will be held on Freedom Square only after the war is over.
Although the Silicon Magic army has retreated, the war has not ended. There are still many colonial galaxies in the hands of the enemy, and the federal authorities have not announced the end of the war. According to traditional practice, the victory parade should not be held at this time, so the military department did not make relevant arrangements. When Yang Yi and Lin Xiaoting returned to their home galaxy, the army sent by the Self-Government Alliance recovered most of the colonial galaxies controlled by the enemy, and the reinforcements of the Star Weavers also controlled the Greenwich Line of Defense. In other words, the Human Federation not only regained all lost ground, but also eliminated the invading enemies. As a result, tens of thousands of parliamentarians from the colonial galaxy proposed to hold a victory parade to welcome the soldiers who returned in triumph.
Obviously, this is the arrangement of the Yu family.
Although I didn't see Yu Linglong, Yang Yi understood right away that Yu Linglong wanted to use this method to increase the influence of Yang Yi's home galaxy.
Good idea, but too hasty.
Although unable to withstand the pressure of the legislators and decided to hold the victory parade, the military still held the initiative in the details of the military parade.
Bringing a group of soldiers who didn't know him, or soldiers who had never been on the battlefield, set foot on Freedom Square, and Yang Yi felt very uncomfortable.
However, Yang Yi was not influenced by emotions.
The war is not over. This is not a victory parade, but a political show. Yang Yi believes that on the day of victory, the soldiers who will follow him to the Freedom Square will be the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front lines, and the soldiers who have shed blood and sacrificed for the human federation.
Fortunately, this is just an ordinary military parade.
It takes only ten minutes to walk from one end of the square to the other.
Seeing Lin Feng standing outside the square, Yang Yi's mood was a little better.
"This military uniform fits well."
"Are you complimenting me or hurting me?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Anyway, it's best for you to return safely."
Yang Yi nodded. Although there were a thousand words in his heart, he didn't know what to say.
"Let's go, Sister Linglong is still waiting for you."
"She's here too?"
"Not just her, there are also some members of Parliament. Everyone wants to meet the great heroes who wiped out thousands of Silicon Charm Legions on Feng Mars."
Yang Yi rolled his eyes, but knew that Lin Feng was joking with him.
Lin Feng did not say nonsense, not only Yu Linglong was waiting for Yang Yi, there were dozens of parliamentarians as well. Although he didn't know any of them, Yang Yi already knew from Lin Feng that they were all from the colonial galaxy and were important members of the Federal Assembly, either the leader of a certain party or the leader of a certain organization. In addition, they are all spokespersons of the Yu Family and the main supporters of Yang Yi.
Obviously, Yang Yi must give them face.
Fortunately, with Yu Linglong here, all Yang Yi has to do is to say hello to these congressmen and get a familiar face.
Without much effort, Yu Linglong introduced Yang Yi to these congressmen and also made a separate introduction for them. These congressmen were also very acquainted, did not bother Yang Yi, and took the initiative to leave after completing the courtesy introduction to each other, without delaying too much time.
"I know, you don't like this kind of occasion very much, but when you come back, you have to get used to and adapt, even if you just pretend."
Yang Yi smiled reluctantly, without saying much. In fact, he understands what Yu Linglong means, and he also knows that he must learn to deal with these politicians.
"I have to thank you."
"Thank me, why?" Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yu Linglong without understanding.
"You gave Yuyang a chance, and you absolutely trust him. More importantly, he is safe." Yu Linglong looked at Yang Yi up and down before saying, "As long as he is safe, I can rest assured. As for what kind of talent he has and how much he can achieve in the future, it doesn't matter."
Only then did Yang Yi understand. "Don't worry, I won't let him be threatened at all."
"It's enough to have you."
"You came here on a special trip, wouldn't it be to thank me?"
Yu Linglong smiled and shook her head, and said, "I introduced you to those congressmen, not only to let you know, but to win them over."
"What's the meaning?"
"Simply put, in a few days, they will initiate a bill in the Federal Assembly, requiring the federal authorities to sign an alliance treaty with the Star Weavers as soon as possible."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and his brows couldn't help but jump a few times.
"Only received the news yesterday that the Star Weaver Clan reinforcements commanded by the Star Soul Queen have taken control of the Greenwich Line and launched several tentative offensives." Yu Linglong paused for a while before saying, "Now, we have enough reasons. Believe that this war is not over yet."
"You mean..."
"Weaving Star Clan reinforcements were strongly counterattacked by the Silicon Magic army during the offensive, indicating that there are still many enemies across the Greenwich Defense Line. Simply put, the Silicon Magic Alliance does not mean to take the initiative to cease the war. If we do nothing, it will not take long. Will be attacked again."
"Obviously, we can't fight the Silicon Magic Alliance on our own."
Yu Linglong nodded and said, "The war is not over yet, and the threat of the Silicon Charm Alliance still exists, so forming an alliance with the Star Weavers is the only option. It's just that the federal authorities are not active in this matter, and can even be said to be very Negative. If you count on the federal authorities to actively move closer to the Star Weavers, obviously there will be no good results. We also have no choice but to get the parliament to pass an alliance resolution."
"Does it work?"
"Although during the war, the decision-making power is in the hands of the federal authorities, and the parliament only has the power to make suggestions, but with the current situation, the federal authorities cannot oppose it."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. More than half of the colonial galaxies have established autonomous governments and formed alliances. If the federal authorities veto the proposal to form an alliance with the Star Weavers, then these autonomous governments will sign with the Star Weavers based on the wartime authorization. A semi-official alliance treaty. According to related laws, the Star Weavers can send troops to the star system under the jurisdiction of the autonomous government and assist the autonomous government in resisting invasion."
Yang Yi frowned, thinking about Yu Linglong's words seriously.
"To put it straightforwardly, after more than half of the colonial galaxy autonomous governments signed an alliance treaty with the Star Weavers, the alliance relationship between the Human Federation and Star Weavers will become a fait accompli. Even if the federal authorities are indifferent, the Star Weavers can also rely on these The treaty sends troops to the war. Unless the guys of the federal authorities are idiots, they will not go against us, because this will inevitably lead to the division of the human confederation."
"Split?"
"Obviously, whether it is a split or a separatist regime, there is no benefit to those in power now."
"But… "
"More importantly, this provides you with a reason to send troops to the Northern Alpha Galaxy, and it is a good reason."
Yang Yi was taken aback first, and then suddenly reacted after he understood Yu Linglong's meaning.
