Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 742: The Envoys from the Central Star Region (Thanks to the leader of Qichong Qinyi·Zhaoxin)

The magnificent music was played on the planet where the Tear Moon Crown lived.

In order to celebrate the brilliant achievements of the federal government in the past two years and to rebuild the confidence of the general public in the government and the future, the authorities decided to hold a grand military parade on National Day.

At noon, the streets of District 1 were crowded with people. They stood in neat blocks separated by long strips, waiting patiently. From time to time, unmanned autonomous units to maintain public order flew over the sky. The scene was noisy yet slightly quiet.

A sharp high note, like a sword drawn from its sheath, opened the curtain, and its arrival announced the beginning of the entire parade celebration.

On the ground in the middle of the street, the dark gray magnetic steel ground flipped, and then a blue electric current passed through. Two parallel rail cars rushed past at a high speed. The airflow they brought up made the clothes and hats of the audience in the front row flutter, causing waves of surprised calls.

The train then stopped and all the side doors opened.

Bang, with the sound of orderly footsteps like the collision of steel, two rows of buglers in neat military uniforms walked out in a line, and then the train doors closed and started to leave again.

Afterwards, the two rows of military musicians were like two black walls, standing straight on both sides of the street. They held trombones and formed a goose-wing formation, with the horns of the band pointing to one side.

While the audience was still immersed in this disciplined formation, a firework emitting red smoke and bright stars rushed into the sky and then exploded.

At this time, all the military musicians raised their trombones. The midday sun fell on the gilded trumpets, as if molten gold was pouring down. The musicians raised their necks with veins bulging due to their efforts. The deep and solemn music spread in all directions like a raging wave.

Under the trombone, bright red pennants were arranged in long straight lines, fluttering in the wind like rolling waves of red fire.

Afterwards, teams of soldiers holding flags entered the venue. Their bodies were aligned and upright, and the flags pierced the sky like spears. As they moved forward, black and red waves rolled endlessly.

Each flag is printed with the words 'P&S', which represents the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' coalition, the largest political faction in the Federal Central Parliament today.

Since the two factions cooperated, the economy of the Federation's central star region has recovered and developed greatly this year, sweeping away the broken and pessimistic situation of the past.

However, the concepts and awareness of many residents have not yet changed, or in other words, they still do not realize the greatness of the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' alliance. In order to establish this firm trust and to expand the influence of the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' alliance to all levels and corners of the entire central star field, a grand ceremony is indispensable.

When the hearts of the audience were ignited by the magnificent and high-pitched trumpet sounds, large drums with silver edges and golden hoops were struck along with the music. The moment the drumsticks fell, the eardrums of the extraordinary creatures vibrated, as if pressing thunder into the earth, and the trembling of the vibration spread from the soles of the feet to every audience member present.

At this time, the salute cars in the team were also ignited, and countless gold foil flowers were sprinkled on the crowd amid the roar of cannons. Enthusiastic cheers spread along the streets like a tide, and quickly pushed to the distance, igniting this boiling world.

Afterwards, rows of soldiers wearing advanced exoskeleton armor began to appear in the team. They advanced side by side holding cutting-edge electromagnetic weapons. The well-defined gun bodies were matte and dark in color, exuding a murderous aura as they passed through the vision of the audience.

Behind them was a team of tall mechas. These tall mechas stood in the crowd and moved slowly like a mountain overlooking a river. Their height of about 60 meters made some spectators have to look up as far as possible to see the whole picture. The huge deterrent effect they brought made the spectators both afraid and excited.

The team continued to move forward, and then various arrays of war weapons and soldiers appeared. Occasionally, fighter planes flew low in the sky, making many people extremely excited.

"That is!"

"That was the most advanced fighter plane that appeared in the Shuangshu star field two years ago!" Someone pointed out the fighter plane flying slowly in the sky. It was shaped like an inverted V triangle, with a pure white body and a light style. The built-in blades of the thrusters on both sides rotated, causing the air and sunlight behind it to shatter and distort.

At the end of the team, a row of autonomous drone units flew across the sky. They kept climbing and deployed in the high altitude, and then projected downwards virtual images of huge starships that blocked the sun. The images of these starships were directly and synchronously collected from the fleets advancing in formation in the star field.

At this moment in the space outside the Twin Trees star field, the Fifth Fleet, which had restored most of its capacity, was slowly crossing the orbit. The starships in it were arranged into several layers, and each layer was like a wide plane, with the ships arranged according to size and type. The battleships formed two parallel straight lines in the middle, with them as the dividing line, and various warships extended to both sides like wings.

In this way, fleets of one plane after another were stacked one after another, slowly flying past the outer side of the 'World Tree' inhabited planet towards the sun in the galaxy.

In the center of the tens of thousands of warships, a small special warship slowly passed by. Compared with the battleships that were about ten kilometers long, its hundreds of meters long hull was as small as a grain of rice. Now, inside the dark golden transparent dome of the warship, Pulin was standing in a dignified and fiery red dress, standing on a dedicated high platform, waving at the starship array outside the transparent glass.

This process was recorded by dozens of cameras inside the battleship and synchronized to various news media, linking the image of Pulin Koko with the cold and powerful battleships outside, giving the audience a strong impact and making many people want to surrender.

'People admire the strong. If you give them the impression that you are extremely powerful, then your words will become the guiding principle for their actions.'

After this military parade, the support rate for the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star alliance among the residents of the Central Star Region continued to rise, and some of the doubts in the past were suppressed by the huge momentum and dared not speak out.

Thanks to this, the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star united faction defeated its opponents in the central star field one after another in the following years, and completely became the ruler of the Federal Central Council. The ambition and self-confidence that had been suppressed in the past gradually recovered again.

------

"Hello everyone, this should be the last time I stand on the performance stage..." In front of many cameras and audiences, 'Mercury Bell' Fui performed a farewell ceremony.

“…I am very happy to have been with you all these years. I still remember those faces in my memory.”

"But that's all for now. Thank you all for your company over the years. From now on, I want to spend my days in peace, not as a singer, but as a relatively ordinary person."

After this grand farewell performance, 'Mercury Bell' Foy withdrew from the public eye. Although many viewers were still reluctant to see her go, they could only respect her choice at this time.

Each generation of audiences has its own tendencies and preferences. For many young people, the name Foy is not familiar because she did not really become famous until more than 80 years ago, and many of her former fans and followers have passed away.

Although there was a discussion on the federal network about Foy's retirement, it was soon replaced by new hot topics. After all, she did not have many fans left.

After that, 'Wind-Eared Fruit' Shui Yanqing took over Fui's position and appeared more often in the public eye. This aqua-blue-haired singer was gradually accepted by more people and became one of the top five singers in the Eastern Star Region. ——————

In December of the same year, in the Eastern Star Region, the federal government officials of the Lusheng Star Region announced the results of the economic development and clean political environment over the past few years at the Winter Festival, shocking the Eastern Star Region with their outstanding achievements.

Compared with many star fields where economic development has stagnated or even fallen into recession, the Lusheng star field, which had a low starting point, a mediocre development environment, and no advantageous conditions, was able to turn the situation around in just a few years, surprising many of the people who were originally watching the show.

In the past, even though the "Black Smut Faction" seized power from the local ruling faction, many people still did not look favorably upon this newly formed and weakly-rooted factional organization, because they did not have mature governing experience and did not have development projects with great advantages.

"A good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if they have good ideas at the beginning, they will soon disappear like duckweed on the water." This was the thought and comment of many people at that time.

However, the facts have slapped many people in the face, causing some celebrities who made arbitrary judgments in the past to be ridiculed and condemned by the public.

In the current era, three major groups have emerged within the Federation, and each of them is thriving in different directions. Both the social environment and the economic situation are developing or recovering all the way. This is definitely a happy event for most people, but for residents of other star regions who are not on these three carriages, they can only envy and feel anxious.

The Eastern Star Region was once the best developed region in the Federation except for the Central Star Region. There are many star regions here with superior environments and prosperous societies. However, with the drastic changes in the past decade or so, it has gradually fallen behind the main body of the Federation. This huge gap has caused many residents of the Eastern Star Region to feel lost and uneasy.

"Everyone wants to catch up quickly, otherwise if it continues like this, the anxiety and discomfort will be as painful as ants biting you."

"In my opinion, the Eastern Star Region must undergo major changes before it can regroup."

Under a wave of urgent emotional needs, many large companies have launched new concepts or new projects in the Eastern Star Region to gain support from local star region governments. As people's hearts are fluctuating, many secret organizations are also beginning to expand and vigorously develop members.

At this time, the envoys from the Central Star Region also knocked on the door of the Eastern Star Region.

The delegation not only includes a large number of official personnel, but also representatives and personnel sent by many companies within the "Brilliant Stars" organization. They will introduce and promote their products and projects to people from all walks of life in the Eastern Star Region, and assist the delegation in lobbying local forces that are eager to boost the economy and seek development.

Faced with this "massive invading" delegation, the three major factions in the Eastern Star Region that currently control the situation felt a deep crisis and they had to temporarily join forces to deal with it.

"Today, I invited everyone to discuss how to deal with the envoys sent by the Central Star Region."

Luo Fenghua, dressed in elegant and gorgeous clothes, sat in the first seat, entertaining singers and representatives from all over the star fields. Now on her left was 'Purple Flower' Otiberius, on her right was 'Wind Calyx Fruit' Shui Yanqing, and below them were 'Star Ring Rhythm' Shelaranko, 'White Swan' Odney, 'Pulp Boat' Gwenna and others.

"If we allow these envoys to come into contact with factions in various star regions, many star regions will fall into their arms and become an extension of their power." A representative explained the current situation.

"However, we cannot openly stop or suppress this behavior because the other party's behavior is legal, and the Eastern Star Region is currently unable to directly confront the Central Star Region."

"That is to say, we can only use other means to hinder the other party's actions, right?" Shealank's ice-white hair was like several intersecting star track rings woven behind her head.

"Yes, it doesn't matter even if the other party sees through it. They won't protest openly." Maintaining superficial harmony is a rule that both parties must abide by.

"If that's the case..." People below began to discuss in a low voice. Some people did not speak, but instead lowered their heads in thought.

"It is impossible to solve the problem just by sitting in the conference room. How about this: whenever their envoys arrive at a star region or whenever they send out a team, we will send people to intercept and interfere. Even if we cannot completely stop them, we must fully understand their methods and trajectory of action so that we can discuss countermeasures later."

"This is a good suggestion and can be implemented." Many people think this suggestion is very useful. When fighting with others, intelligence is the most important thing. If you know how the other party persuades the local factions and forces, it will be easy to deal with.

"Secondly, the Central Star Region does have a great advantage. Whether in terms of military strength, political influence, or economic development, we are now far behind. If we want to continue the confrontation, we must have our own strong capital."

"In other words?" someone asked carefully.

"We can't do that politically. The other side has a special status and it's hard for us to change it, unless we do a big split like we did in the Western Star Region. We need to try our best to find new breakthroughs in economic development, but—"

"The military can take immediate action."

"According to my observation and speculation, Prinkoko and her faction are not gentle people. Instead, they are a group of people with great ambitions and desires. In recent years, they have made every effort to restore the combat power of the Fifth Fleet. This is definitely not to suppress the central star region and prevent rebellion, but to meet the expectation of recovering losses."

"More than a decade ago, the Western Star Region won a great victory in the civil war, causing the Central Council and many factions in the Central Star Region to lose control and interests of other star regions. They must have been unwilling to accept this. Now that they have become powerful again, I believe this unwillingness will soon evolve into a practical action, and sending an envoy this time is a test."

"They are testing whether our Eastern Star Region is united, testing whether we can defeat them one by one, testing our strength and attitude. If we show any signs of weakness, they will soon attack and demand again, pushing us into a desperate situation step by step, until we surrender our current sovereignty and are governed and ruled by them."

The representative's remarks caused an uproar at the meeting. Although many people had some concerns and anxieties in their hearts before the meeting, they did not know where this feeling came from. Now that it was pointed out, they felt as if they had suddenly realized something.

"I see. It seems we must succeed in blocking them this time, otherwise we will face more problems in the future."

"That's right, but even if we develop our military and expand our fleet now, it will take time. We can't turn against each other right away."

……

"If it really doesn't work, we can only bring in another force to interfere and balance it, but this is like driving a tiger to swallow a wolf, so we need to be extremely cautious."
