Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

Although the people present knew what she was going to announce, at this moment, except for her firm voice, there was no noise or whispering in the venue, and everyone just stood there, silently. Just listening to her talk.

Because that's what they want too.

"Someone may ask, why is it necessary for us to take such a big risk and make such an unprecedented radical change? Why can't we make it slowly after we are fully prepared?"

"To this, our answer is very clear - it is necessary."

"History has proved countless times that the biggest reason that delays our progress and even leads to the disintegration of civilization is none other than this kind of looking forward and backward."

"We always want to be fully prepared, always want to be perfect, but in this world, does there really exist a so-called 'perfect'?"

"No, it doesn't exist!"

Her voice began to grow excited.

"In this universe, maybe we can wait, and Your Excellency Red can also wait, but the enemy won't!"

"We need power, enough power to ensure the survival of the Geoffreys, and a powerful force capable of fighting alongside the great Red Lord—and to do all of this, those who look forward and backward, and make small repairs can't do it. arrive."

"What we need is change."

She looked at the hundreds of thousands of people below the stage, and wherever she looked, there were their expectant eyes and the uncontrollable excitement in their hearts.

Not only here, but all over the world, billions of people are looking at this place through the screen-whether it is a city or a wilderness, whether it is a planet or space, whether it is day or night, as long as there is a signal that can reach it, there are all kinds of people. Faces looking forward to it.

Because of this day, they have waited too long, too long.

"A great change from the ground up, enough to make our civilization look brand new!"

"If we don't try, then we'll never have the answer, and if we don't take that step, then we'll never know what we're missing."

"So, today, we are going to take the most critical step."

"Here, I solemnly declare that after a completely fair, just and transparent referendum conducted by the Talalong Federation Council, the Jeffrey Empire Council, the Farsati Planetary Alliance Council, and all citizens of the above-mentioned three countries, the above-mentioned three countries Voluntarily renounce all original national sovereignty, voluntarily renounce all original land and planet claims, and voluntarily renounce all other rights stated in the final resolution document that will interfere with the unity of Jeffrey's civilization."

"At the same time, according to the results of the referendum, all citizens will voluntarily give up all the original non-material, artificially imposed barriers used to hinder the unity of the Jeffrey people, and support the above-mentioned three-nation parliament in the final resolution document results of the vote."

The chief executive took a deep breath, calmed down his equally agitated heart, and announced in a correct tone, word by word.

"At 6413:4 on April 1, 15 in the Catus standard calendar, the Jaffa Alliance, a confederal alliance organization, will be formally reorganized into a unified, unitary sovereign state. All the original member states voluntarily renounced all independent sovereignty, And become a local administrative division under the Jeffrey Federal Republic, accepting the leadership of the central government."

"Thus, under the gaze of the Great Red, the Federal Republic of Geoffrey."

"Established today!"

She put down the speech in her hand and quietly listened to the thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, with a satisfied smile on her lips.

Not only here, but the entire city, the entire planet, and even the entire Jeffrey Wen star field seemed to be boiling. Whether it was in the streets or alleys, whether it was high-rise buildings or residential buildings, people cheered everywhere. Sounds—These sounds seem to be chaotic, but they are actually neat and uniform.

Because regardless of their identities, at this moment, all people have only one common identity.

They are citizens of the Federal Republic of Jeffrey.

This is the voice of the Jeffreys.

"Congratulations, you did it."

Listening to the tide-like cheers below, Hong leaned his back against the wall, hiding his upper body under the shadow of the eaves, and said softly.

The autumn wind blowing between tall buildings brushed her cheeks, and her silver-gray hair fluttered slightly in the air, as if she was silently expounding the inner worries of the owner of the hair to the world.

Yes, worry.

Of course, what she is currently worried about is definitely not the so-called "worry about the Jeffreys threatening the cubs", otherwise she would not be so dedicated to helping the Jeffreys unify, and no one in this world Wherever she can see, she expresses her most sincere blessings.

With Hong's current status and ability, as long as she wants, she has countless ways to prevent the establishment of the Jeffrey Federal Republic.

In fact, she only needs to do nothing, strictly abide by the diplomatic principle of "non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries", and do a good job of being an "ally". It is absolutely impossible for the Jeffreys to form such a unified country that everyone expects.

The reason why she was worried was simple——

Hong is afraid.

Even if it was only a little bit, and she didn't show it in front of others from the beginning to the end, she still knew the name of this emotion.

Scared.

Recalling the period when the two civilizations just met, they were still suspicious of each other, wary of each other, and even danced on the brink of war for a time. It was against this background that in order to eliminate these "strange aliens" People" threat, make them harmless, Hong carried out the beginning of it all.

Culture Invasion Program.

If the original Hong knew that in just 37 years, she would be able to successfully defeat all the psychological defenses of the Jeffrey civilization, turn the strangers into her de facto "subordinate countries", and let them voluntarily , If they voluntarily give up their independence and accept Hong's management, she will be very happy at that time.

The premise is at the beginning.

During this honeymoon period that has lasted for 19 years, it is not only the Jeffreys who have changed their attitudes, and it is not only the original Farsati people who have undergone universal genetic modification and become a member of the Jeffreys. What has changed is red.

This is the "rigid" mechanical intelligence that is theoretically the least likely to be changed.

"Can I do it?" Hong raised her head slightly, looked at the rising star in the distance, and muttered to herself, "Can I fulfill your wishes?"

"Can I lead you to a better future?"

Only in such an empty place, can she express her truest emotions—even if she usually claims to "speak straight", the reality will not change according to her thoughts, When she became a civilized leader, she was doomed to have some words, some emotions, and some ideas that could not be expressed directly.

Especially now.

"Here, I will read the "Proclamation of the Central Government of the Federal Republic of Jeffery", which reads as follows..."

This was followed by a long series of official speeches, expounding the basic principles of the new Jeffrey Federal Republic, or the Jeffrey civilization, including governance policies, civilization development goals, and some major personnel appointments, etc., by the way A few specific, core principles are briefly described.

For example, although they continue to use the title of "Federation", they do not actually implement a joint state government system, but adopt a unitary system that is more unified and united, and some old rights are abolished and new rights are added. etc.

However, these are not the main events, or not the most concerned, most anticipated, and most important things that people care about.

Although the above-mentioned things are equally important, so important that future students will definitely scratch their heads and have headaches, but in this ceremony, there is indeed only one thing they look forward to the most.

"...And, the appointment of the former chief administrator of the alliance, Olivia, as the governor of the Jeffrey Federal Republic."

Miss Olivia once again put down the announcement document in her hand. It was different from the act of letting the people have time to cheer when the federation was just announced. This time, she really put it down completely. After all, this announcement It has been fully announced, that's all for now.

It sounds perfect to end with the appointment of a supreme leader of civilization, the Archon.

If they really ended like this, Hong might be happier and more relaxed-under her teaching, a civilization that was once chaotic and warring against each other eliminated mutual hatred and disputes, and united to form a Unprecedented unified, independent great country.

This ending may be the most perfect one.

"red."

Olivia's voice brought her back to reality.

To be precise, it was pulled onto the body located in the Parliament Square.

Although for a mechanical intelligence with strong multi-process processing capabilities, there is no so-called mind-wandering, and it is even less likely that there will be a situation of "paying too much attention to one element and ignoring other elements"-however, "more attention "The thing itself exists.

In a computerized way, it is just "higher process priority", and at this moment, the element body on the Parliament Square replaced the element body hiding in the dark, and became the most popular processor on Talalon. The body of attention.

"Miss Olivia Consul."

Hong nodded slightly, and called out the other party's name.

Although she is the one who benefits the most, if she can choose now, she would rather give up these benefits and choose another route with relatively small benefits but more peace of mind.

But Hong also knew that this was impossible—since she had chosen to tease them back then, she would naturally have to bear the corresponding price and consequences.

"Excuse me, are you willing to continue to lead our steps and guide us forward?"

Olivia's voice was slightly hoarse, but what caused it was not sadness, but excitement and joy.

It is the joy of fulfilling one's ideals and wishes.

"I am willing."

This is exactly the reason why Hong feels a little worried and afraid—the more they trust the mentor who "protects and guides them" wholeheartedly, the more Hong feels the weight of this burden.

"Excuse me, are you willing to let the Jeffrey civilization become a sharp blade in your hands, and open up a pure land in this universe that belongs to you and us?"

"I am willing."

In any case, up to now, there is no possibility of Hong rejecting them.

Not only because this power is indeed strong enough, but more importantly, she admits that she really cannot sit back and watch them go to decline. Like the Catus, they are lovely and respectable, and they should not be a part of this universe. Nameless tombstone.

She will take over this power, as well as its corresponding responsibilities.

"Excuse me, are you willing to become the supreme leader of the Federal Republic of Jeffery?"

Hong's eyes slowly swept across the entire venue, and finally, she smiled slightly.

History has been like this, and the past cannot be changed. The only thing she can do is to be worthy of her heart—and since they have paid so much, if she wants to keep herself from feeling guilty, there is only one thing she can do.

"I am willing."

In the autumn wind of Taralon, everything looks so natural and peaceful.

At 6413:4 on April 1, 15 in the Catus standard calendar, the Federal Republic of Jeffery ended its 21-minute independence and became a permanent member of the Catus Alliance , Cats and cats single push the same clan to form a co-owner confederation.

In the Federal Republic of Jeffrey, the consul elected by the election serves as the second leader and manages the country in accordance with the will of the Federal Constitution. The Federation has unlimited right to intervene and appoint and remove, and in the absence of a referendum and more than two-thirds of the referendum votes to impeach, its time limit as the supreme leader is permanent.

Since then, the Jeffrey civilization finally got rid of all the obstacles of the old concepts, and took this as a turning point to start the great and progressive path of civilization.

On the surface, it seems that we have lost our sovereignty in exchange for the protection of a powerful civilization, but in fact, what we have lost is only the shackles and shackles of the old thinking. Not only have we not lost the slightest sovereignty, on the contrary, we have gained Just more and more, so much that a lifetime can't pay it back.

May Lord Hong and her civilization be in good health forever.

——Excerpt from "The Modern Political Development History of Jeffery Civilization"

------

PS: Optional tracks: The Federations Theme or Galactic UN Theme (both are the BGM of the stars)

The main theme of the name is relatively close to this chapter. The only regret is that it does not have that kind of grand feeling, which is almost meaningless.

Volume Two: The War Against Extinction: Chapter 110 IV Liberty, Democracy, and Equality

Obviously, in the modern age where information exchange is so developed, this kind of event can be regarded as an unprecedented event in the entire history of Jeffrey civilization, and its news will naturally not be limited to their planet and territory. Within a few ten minutes, the news of the establishment of the Jeffrey Federation spread across hundreds of millions of kilometers of cosmic space, to the expeditionary fleet that was fighting in the mother galaxy of the extermination unit, and even to the ears of humans in the solar system.

"Incomprehensible."

In this regard, the evaluation of the human public is basically the same.

Although now that the coalition forces of extinct civilization are about to touch the defense line, human beings should concentrate on preparing for battle, and should not pay attention to this kind of "internal affairs of other countries" that occurs outside several star systems and will not cause any impact in a short period of time.

But having said that, human beings still can't escape their nature of eating melons - even if they know that their fleet may be beaten to the ground in a few hours, but when the news comes, they still don't forget to take the time to deal with it Express some opinions.

Including but not limited to "Historical Reversal", "Authoritarianism", "Dying of the Light of Liberty", and so on and so forth.

All in all, from the perspective of human beings, this merger of countries not only has no great side, but also opened a wave of historical reversal, full of the taste of "abandoning the light and turning to the dark".

This is because human beings don't know that Hong is the supreme leader. If they are told that the actual ruler of this newly born civilization spanning four star systems is actually an alien omnic, their reaction will be nothing but Bigger and more intense.

At the very least, it has to be labeled as "colonialism" first.

This is also very understandable. As a civilization that is close to genocide even if it was beaten once, it insists on the form of the United Nations and alliances instead of combining into a unified country for macro-management. Naturally, there are internal reasons of.

Throughout the modern development history of human civilization, whether it is the Pan-Asian-Mars camp that is more inclined to red, or the Saturn-British-French camp that is more inclined to blue, or Jupiter, which is relatively neutral and Pan-Asian, its core Values ​​are nothing more than words like "freedom, democracy, equality".

Even more than 200 years ago, in the age of the planet where countries acted independently, and in the period of World War III when the conflict between the two camps was the most intense, this has not changed at all—the two sides are at most on the word freedom. There are different understandings and some disagreement over the degree of checks and balances between it and centralization of government.

Its essence, from the beginning to the end, has not changed much.

Perhaps in the 21st and 22nd centuries, because of the hostile relationship between the two sides, it is still not particularly clear and clear to identify the real camp of human civilization. It should depend on the will of the country and the majority of people.

However, in the 2200 years since the iron heart invasion in 100, human beings have been able to maintain their pursuit of "freedom, democracy and equality", even better than before, it can be seen that this is the entire human civilization mainstream thought.

There is no doubt about it.

However, the values ​​of the Jeffrey people are not like this.

Unlike Homo sapiens, who originated from the vast plains and wiped out all other close relatives to obtain "the only species of human civilization", the history of the Jeffreys born in the tropical rainforest of Taralon is peaceful and friendly in comparison. too much.

Although they are generally called Jeffreys, if traced from the genetic point of view, the Jeffreys are actually a race formed by the fusion of more than a dozen branches after a long gene pool exchange. Under this race, there are four subspecies.

There are four of them.

Note that this is not the kind of "integration" of Homo sapiens to Neanderthals, but a serious integration, which does not involve a peaceful evolution of too large-scale bloodshed.

Although for most ordinary people, this experience only brought about various appearance characteristics, such as Lilia's big fluffy tail, or Bai's pair of particularly pointed ears, other than choosing a mate Nothing substantial.But for biologists, historians, and the newly opened alien civilization diplomats, this is a good perspective to reflect the "differences in thought trends between human civilization and Jeffrey civilization".

After all, just as human beings cannot understand the behavior of the Jeffreys who reversed history and changed from a democratic and equal multi-national alliance to a unitary country, the Jeffreys also cannot understand that humans and iron hearts have been dead for more than 100 years. There has never been any behavior beyond the level of "a community with a shared future for mankind".

If the ruling class is unwilling to unite out of self-interest, they may understand a little bit, but what humans have shown is exactly the opposite of what they imagined. In the matter of "forming a unified human civilization", the most opposed On the contrary, it is the people.

Of course, it’s not that human beings don’t like unity and union, otherwise it would be impossible for five major political entities to be born. The main reason why they have maintained a half-divided “alliance” state so far, at least on the surface, is that they believe that The main reason is internal friction.

That's right, internal friction.
