In 3452 of the Galactic Era, the Alliance Council called for re-election. After the vote, the original speaker Markas retained his post, and Douglas Concettering was dismissed from his position as the acting speaker; in addition, more than 20 purple-robed members were dismissed, which can be called the biggest turmoil in the history of the parliament.
However, what is even more shocking is that Celia, the god of the Union Army, resigned from the position of marshal in the reelection.
His deputy and student, Kaleyan, became the new military marshal of the alliance with more than 90% of the votes.
Anatoly Don Kaleyan, formerly a graduate of the local military academy in the Ophiuchus galaxy, served as an ordinary second lieutenant in the local garrison after graduation due to his mediocre grades. Eight years later, he was gradually promoted to captain due to his qualifications.
When the Ophiuchus galaxy rebellion happened, a group of brave and low-ranking military officers escaped from the Ophiuchus galaxy and used merchant ships to inform the military headquarters of the alliance capital. Unfortunately, they were all strangled along the way. Only Kaleyan survived and desperately delivered the information to the alliance. At the desk of the Supreme Military Commander.
This incident directly triggered the most important anti-corruption storm in the history of the league. Kaleyan was also appreciated by Celia and was transferred to the Marshal's Guards; He became the captain of the guard.
Kaleyan was perhaps not the most dedicated captain in the army—the most loyal was his predecessor, Lieutenant General Merwin; nor was it the most famous—most notably the Imperial Emperor Heinrich. But he is the most appreciated by Celia. He has been praised by Celia as the number one think tank of the Glorious Legion many times, and his love is beyond words. Even later, when he was out of office, he often came back to intervene in the affairs of the guards with the appreciation of the marshal, which gave his successor Heinrich a lot of anger.
During the Alliance Legion's attack on the Dark Star Hall, Kaleyan took over the authority of the commander-in-chief for the first time and commanded the entire army in the name of Marshal; since then, he has fought in the galaxy many times under the name of Gavin Silia, and because of few defeats, He was officially appointed as the deputy commander of the Guangyao Legion and also awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
—Although he is called a lieutenant general, he is in power. At this time, the name of Kaleyan's deputy commander has spread throughout the army. After the Battle of the Venus Fortress in the late alliance, Celia was dismissed by the parliament due to defeat, and Kaleyan officially became the acting commander-in-chief, and no one in the military department raised any objections.
According to this trend, it will be a matter of time for Kaleyan to take over as Marshal, but after Silia died in the Red Saturn battle, the alliance disintegrated, the government went into exile, and the power of the parliament infiltrated into the military. Pao big councilors challenged. Therefore, Lev Abel and others set up the Army General Corps, all of whom were generals, in order to resist the invasion of the forces of the Consettrin family and others; Going to conduct soul projection experiments on Saturn.
This kind of ebb and flow in power is very natural. After all, when the country is in crisis and the building is overturned, such personal interests are often not even a fart. After Celia's return, Kaleyan didn't think much about it, and all his energy was put on a pile of troubles: the threat of the empire and the counterattack of the parliament followed one after another, and he had no time to think about himself; In such a hasty situation, he was caught off guard and pushed onto the political stage.
After Marshal Kaleyan took office, he ordered a large-scale restructuring of the alliance army. From the first to the eighth army, a total of two million soldiers and horses were all included in the organization of the Glorious Legion.
Gavin Celia was ordered to command the entire army and served as the commander of the legion.
When he came out of the Capitol that day, Celia took off the commander's uniform jacket and put it on his hand. Kaleyan stood on the steps at a loss, his face, which was always full of intelligence, was completely blank at this moment: "Marshal..."
Celia turned her head, "Let's go? What's the matter?"
The two of them looked at each other across a few steps, and Admiral Abel and others stood quietly not far away. After a long while, Kaleyan suddenly strode down, grabbed the military jacket from Celia's hand, and tried to put it on him with red eyes—but his hands were shaking violently, and Celia immediately raised her hand to stop him, and put on the coat. After a long time without success, Kaleyan finally fell on his shoulder and cried bitterly: "You, why are you doing this, Marshal? I don't know what to do at all. Fifty years have proved that I am not like this. Lump, I really—I really don't know what to do...”
This was the first time Kaleyan cried in front of everyone, and the voice was so hoarse that it was unbearable to hear it. However, Celia just stood there quietly, tilting his head slightly, his bangs blocked his eyes, and he couldn't see the expression clearly.
"I didn't agree with this plan from the beginning... What should I do now... These things can only be done by you, what am I? What am I?! Why do you want to do this..."
Admiral Abel, who was standing not far away, also had a look of disapproval on his face. He was about to step forward to persuade him, when suddenly Celia pushed Kaleyan away and kicked him heavily on the steps!
"What are you? You are the commander-in-chief of the alliance now!" Celia pointed at Kaleyan with undisguised anger, and shouted: "The fortunes and lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the alliance are in your hands, and everyone is counting on you." You, you told me that you don’t know what to do?!”
Everyone present was stunned, only to see Celia suddenly raised her hand and pointed at everyone's faces one by one, and everyone who was pointed by him couldn't help shivering: "—and you! In the past fifty years What have you guys done?! It’s just out of shape! Reforms haven’t yielded results, and wars haven’t made a name for themselves! You’re alliance generals, you’re not children who cry when you’re weaned!”
"When I was away, the military department was managed like this! Negligence of duty, bribery, factions, and entanglement with the parliament! Using the country's money to subsidize our own army, knowing that the people below are in a mess. I don't know how to manage it. One or two Protect your weaknesses better than anyone else! Now that the situation is out of control, you will cry, is there anything more useless than you, huh?!"
Everyone lowered their heads timidly, and several commanders mustered up the courage to defend themselves, but were held back by General Abel, Lieutenant General Mo Wen and others with shame on their faces.
"In the past, the Glorious Legion is now a joke of the whole country! Could it be that you can't do anything in the past fifty years? Could it be that so many generals united can really do nothing! After all, it's not because people's hearts are floating, a Both of them are afraid of becoming rafters!"
"...Lieutenant General Mo Wen once advocated the rectification movement..." An adjutant couldn't help but tremblingly defended his chief.
Lieutenant General Mo Wen desperately signaled him to shut up, but it was too late. Celia suddenly roared: "Then why didn't there be any results! Electronic cigarettes, alcohol, and hallucinogenic drugs are all the rage among low-level military officers, why don't they know how to deal with them with military laws! Those who sell contraband in the army, why don't they know? Catch and execute!"
"Don't tell me that those people are backed by congressmen, so what if they are shot and killed? Are you afraid that those congressmen will come to your door with their heads after killing them all? Besides, what are you afraid of even if they come to your door? There are so many generals , Lieutenant General, if we can work together, who will come to the door and can't deal with it? In the final analysis, it's not because you are not in the same heart! You can't even walk away from the nanny!"
The adjutant who spoke could not even speak at this time, his whole body trembled so much that he almost couldn't stand still. Lieutenant General Mo Wen bowed his head to listen to the training with his face flushed, and he answered yes to every sentence. Other than that, no one dared to make any noise.
There was silence all around, only the sound of the wind whizzing past the square, and the stiff bodies of the soldiers looked like stone statues. Celia stared at them with a cold face, and said coldly for a long time: "From today onwards, the military will implement a rectification movement. Everyone will go back to their own legion to clear the law, and then Kaleyan will take you to the whole army for inspection... The government has fallen, but the Legion of Glory is still there. Even if I die one day, the glory of the Alliance Legion will not disappear."
He turned and walked down the steps, and the wind blew his hair up in an instant. Kaleyan staggered to his feet, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

When the news of Celia's resignation as marshal reached the empire, Heinrich was sitting in the main hall of the New Versailles Palace listening to the front-line military report, and the three-dimensional projection of Admiral Aaron was standing under the throne. Lieutenant General Isaac, the man with the scar, raised his head, quickly glanced at the emperor's face, and said cautiously: "The former Lieutenant General of the Alliance, Kaleyan, was appointed as the new Marshal..."
After a palpitating silence, the emperor said slowly, "Understood, let's go down."
Isaac bowed, turned and exited the hall—but at the moment when he stepped out of the gate, there was a loud "bang!" sound from the direction of the throne!
The emperor smashed the pen severely, and said angrily: "Kareyan! Kaleyan!!"
The resentment and killing intent in that voice overflowed, making people shudder!
what is this? what is this? ! How many years has been the commander of the alliance, if it is not inappropriate, then it is not inappropriate! Now let's talk about the word marshal, and it turns out to be the Kaleyan who was hacked to pieces! Didn't you fucking insist on opposing the alliance's surrender? Didn't you want to engage in a military dictatorship, and you turned around and played with me and retreated behind the scenes? !
—Are you just so relieved, just trust that Kaleyan who can only be glib and flattering? !
The furious flames burned all the way from the emperor's limbs to the top of his head, making every nerve in him sizzling. He wished he could immediately drag Celia from the alliance to him: He took your body on Shurong Star Forgot everything about being a pretense? The Union Council initially wanted to forget about you allocating him? ! I haven't seen you in fifty years. As soon as I regained my memory, I couldn't wait to choose him as your successor. You two really have a heart for each other! ——It’s really fucking heart-to-heart!
"This matter actually went smoothly, Heinrich." Admiral Aaron said lightly.
In the three-dimensional projection, his expression was calm and hard, without the slightest expression: "Kareyan is the marshal's confidant, and he has been with him for many years, and he has long intended to train him to be an heir. In the past fifty years, Kaleyan Yang's momentum has faded because he has suffered a loss in military rank. If his name is not correct, his words will not go well, and his words will not succeed. What can I do?"
Heinrich said angrily, "What the hell are you talking about!"
"You understand what I'm saying." Aaron said tit for tat without fear: "If one day the empire and the alliance go to war, with the alliance's current pitiful strength, can you not go to the battlefield as the main general? And the shells on the battlefield have no eyes , who knows when it will be bombarded again? In the past 50 years, the Union Army has degraded beyond words, and the Marshal has probably learned his lesson. The most urgent task now is to find a way out for the Army... Hehe, the Marshal has never done anything in his life , and just focus on finding a way out for these worthless wastes."
These words are actually very unfair, but Aaron was full of resentment, and even the ending sound was a bit sharp. After a while, he sneered: "What should we do now? We have nothing to do with the Dark Star Hall. How about we hold our noses and go to the Alliance to find Karie?" Marshal Yang made a peace talk?"
With a bang, Heinrich kicked over the table and shouted, "Don't mention that name to me!"
The large desk was overturned, and the dull impact reverberated in the hall for a long time. The attendant quickly poked his probe out from the door, and seeing the emperor's terrifying expression, he immediately shrank back.
Panting heavily like a defeated beast, the emperor sat on the throne for a long time, his handsome and deep face was covered with a chilling haze. In the tense and silent hall, only his panting voice was heard, and it took him a long time to hear him coldly say: "The empire does not recognize Kaleyan's status as a marshal of the alliance. A diplomatic letter was sent to tell them that Gold Mercury is the territory of the empire, and the empire has already The rank of marshal has been abolished, and only Celia is a marshal who conforms to the military law. If you want to join the empire, I will fucking abolish Kaleyan, or I will get out of Gold Mercury! Attendant!"
The attendant walked outside the door tremblingly, and the emperor said angrily, "Go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for me!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Let Elder Longfellow come to me!"
The aide-de-camp was on the verge of tears: "But Your Majesty—"
The emperor got up abruptly, and was interrupted by Aaron before he could curse: "Do you have to do this, Heinrich?"
"What did you say?!"
"Do you have to do this?" Aaron repeated without changing his slightly sarcastic tone: "—in order to prevent Celia from taking over the military power, you teamed up with Consetlin and succeeded in controlling him with gender issues; He had nowhere to go, so he could only take a step back and let Kaleyan become the marshal, but you were furious and wanted to fight the alliance... Now that the Dark Star Hall is approaching the city, you clearly know that the best choice is to cooperate with the marshal, but you keep repeating He is determined to make matters worse, as if he can't wait to force him out of the league tomorrow. Think about it with your head, is this possible?"
"Celia is not the kind of person who can make you happy if you are pushed to the extreme. If you are too hasty, it will only backfire." Aaron paused, and the sarcasm in his tone became stronger: "You know this, but you still go ahead Are you really thinking about the empire if you are pressing so hard? Or is it your personal jealousy and desire for monopoly?"
Judging from the emperor's expression, if Aaron stood in front of him at this moment, he would probably be punched hard in the face.
Fortunately, Aaron was standing in a warship tens of thousands of light-years away at this moment, watching Heinrich's terrifying eyes and tightly clenched fists, because of the excessive force, even the backs of his hands showed hideous blue veins .
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and the palace hall fell into a deathly silence. After a while, Heinrich finally took a deep breath and asked, "Do you want to cooperate with Kaleyan?"
"I don't want to either," Aaron said blankly, "but he is the ruler introduced by Celia, and not recognizing his status means rebelling against Celia."
—This is the most obvious fact, and it is also the key that makes Heinrich furious and tries to avoid it. The emperor's bony fists tightly grasped the golden armrests on the throne, and even his face was slightly distorted for a while. After a long time, he finally said in a hoarse voice: "I see—"
When these four words came out of his mouth, there was such a thrilling jealousy and killing intent that even Aaron shuddered.
"The battle at the Dark Star Hall can no longer be delayed. I will go to negotiate peace with the Alliance. I will invite Celia and other Alliance generals, and Kaleyan will be the representative of the Alliance Army..."
The emperor paused, and said almost word for word: "...after the problem of the Dark Star Hall is solved, then slowly solve other problems."
·
On the eighth day of the large-scale entry of the Dark Star Hall, the Gemini Emperor held a banquet in a palace called the New Kremlin on the edge of the empire, and invited the Alliance Army to come to peace talks and discuss the issue of jointly expulsing the Dark Star Hall.
Although this location is in the empire, it is about the same distance from the Alliance Venus Mercury and the Empire Egret, vaguely revealing the meaning of an equal conversation. The empire also showed considerable importance to this. The entire Kremlin was decorated, and more than a dozen generals from Emperor Heinrich himself to the Imperial Military Intelligence Department were all present. Discharged for several kilometers.
In order to show the same respect, the newly appointed Marshal Kaleyan, the head of the Celia Army, and seven or eight heavyweight generals with real power have also come to the alliance. It was the largest, most powerful and most solemn meeting of the leaders of the world.
However, Celia gave the empire a blow when he came up.
Before the alliance fleet arrived, an apologetic message came from the other side's envoy from the front line—I'm sorry, because the long-distance raid was not acclimatized, the head of the Celia Army announced that he was ill and could not attend the meeting ceremony at the gate of the palace.
