Chapter 786: Chapter 129: The First Time
Several days later, the Federation had restored order, yet everyone was still exhilarated. Centuries of humiliation were now turning a new chapter, and the future seemed full of expectation.
Now, they on Byron Star had their own fleet. Even if aliens invaded, they might have the ability to fight back, right?
Today, countless people were glued to electronic screens. The new acting president of the Federation, President Liu Feng, was about to make an important announcement. Many realized that this message would likely dictate the future direction of the Federation.
In Chuanxing City, the same scene appeared on screens all over the streets. It was the President’s Mansion, and many media reporters had already arrived, waiting for the president to appear.
“I wonder what kind of announcement President Liu Feng is going to make.”
“It should be about the development of the Federation.”
“Is he really up to the task of the presidency?”
“Since Xu Mo supports President Liu Feng, I believe he can.” The crowd engaged in heated discussions; they seemed to trust Xu Mo more than Liu Feng.
The presidency could possibly be just a matter from Xu Mo, but no one thought there was anything wrong with that. The Federation was built by Xu Mo. In the eyes of the Federation’s citizens, he was the first hero who dared to judge and execute aliens. Xu Mo was now the totem of the Federation.
Finally, Liu Feng’s figure appeared on the screen. He had lost his former lethargic and indolent demeanor, wearing a formal suit with sharp eyes, looking straight ahead, staring into the camera.
“Hundreds of years ago, the Federation faced annihilation. The humans of Byron Star survived in despair and built cities,” Liu Feng’s voice was calm, yet it seemed to carry a special power.
“In the rebuilding of Byron Star, there have been moments of glory and humiliation. Several issues have been set before Byron Star: the need to use alien technology for development, the constant threat from monsters, the fragmentation of major cities that are always on the brink of crisis, and in recent years, an alien coalition pseudo-government had controlled the Federation, during which numerous dreadful incidents occurred—those executioners will be judged and sent to the gallows.”
“Today, the Federation welcomes a new era, but equally, it faces crises. The invading planets will not rest easily. To avoid repeating history, we need a new Federation.”
“Following the decision of the new Federation Government, I hereby announce, first, the Federation will launch an indefinite cleanup operation to clear monsters and open routes to all major cities, connecting them all; second, while all major cities shall still maintain political autonomy, military power will now be consolidated under the jurisdiction of the Federation Government.”
“Third, the fleet you have seen in this war belongs to Mr. Xu Mo’s Blue Star Energy Technology Group. The group produced powerful weapons in its Steel Dome City base, which are foundational to our victory in this war. Going forward, Blue Star Energy Technology will establish bases in major cities. The Federation Government needs the very best scientists, engineers, and technicians to grow Blue Star Energy Technology Group, to build the defense system of Byron Star, and likewise, the Federation Army needs the most exceptional to bolster our military forces against possible future crises.”
“For hundreds of years, Byron Star has endured many humiliations. Now, it is time to awaken,” Liu Feng looked into the camera, his voice growing stronger as he continued: “We on Byron Star have turned a new page, but the future still requires the collective effort of us all. We need a new Federation, a Federation with unity, a technologically advanced and militarily powerful force, a Federation that is subject to no one’s oppression.”
The people listening to President Liu Feng felt their blood boil, all silent, their eyes fixated on the camera, feeling at this moment that Mr. Liu Feng was not weak, but rather, the Federation of old had not provided him with a strong backing, leaving him without the credentials to be assertive.
But all of that was in the past.
Liu Feng looked into the camera, placing his hand over his chest and said loudly, “For the Federation!”
In all the major cities of the Federation, countless people watching the screen placed their arms over their chests and spoke out loud, “For the Federation.”
At this moment, Byron Star seemed to form an unprecedented unifying force intended to crush the humiliations of the past.
After Liu Feng made the announcement, the higher-ups of the cities in the Federation were the most disheartened. Although Liu Feng still allowed the major cities to maintain autonomy, the actual demand to cede military power meant a substantial degree of control.
Besides, with the Federation Government now popularly supported, whether by force or by public sentiment, the momentum was unstoppable. The Federation had truly entered a new era.
At the President’s Mansion, after Liu Feng’s announcement,
“Mr. President’s speech was very powerful.” Xu Mo was also at the President’s Mansion, and seeing Liu Feng approaching, Xu Mo smiled and said, the effect should have been achieved, as they intended Blue Star Energy Technology Group to undergo rapid development, needing to mobilize all resources.
And in such an era’s context, no one would think he was acting out of self-interest; all of Byron Star’s resources would be utilized for the rapid development of the group.
“These are heartfelt words,” Liu Feng said, acknowledging all that Xu Mo had done, which was why he had joined Xu Mo, striving together for the future.
“That is why it holds power. In today’s context, I believe the group can grow at the fastest pace. Byron Star, as Mr. Liu Feng anticipates,” Xu Mo stated. Liu Feng nodded; if indeed that day came, Byron Star would no longer look up to any planet in the Star System Alliance, and his life would be without regrets.
