Chapter 417 Independence Referendum
After Yu Rong rejected Candel's proposal to jointly petition for the right to recruit soldiers, Candelen never mentioned the matter again. Both Yu Rong and Han Hongxu thought he had given up, so they focused their attention on the new home that was about to be built. .

Gavino arranged everything generously. Yu Rong and Han Hongxu insisted on paying him the construction costs, but Gavino insisted on paying off the cost on the grounds that they also provided design drawings for their new home.

However, you still have to buy furniture by yourself, and electrical appliances naturally have to be purchased online from Main Star. Wooden furniture such as cabinets, beds, and sofas are more convenient to buy locally at Fourth Star.

Han Hongxu wanted to design his own home with his own hands. He consulted many online pictures and personally designed the styles of beds, desks, wardrobes, and bookshelves. Then he selected the wood and asked a fourth-star carpenter to handcraft it.

These days, the couple spends a lot of time visiting the timber market.

"Have you heard that the Fourth Star is going to hold an independence referendum?" Two laborers sitting at the door of the timber market waiting for work chatted.

"I don't know, if you are independent or not, you have to take care of yourself. If something happens, who will take care of our fourth star? Otherwise, we will die!"

Yu Rong frowned when he heard this, "Independence referendum? Where do these rumors come from?"

Han Hongxu shook his head. Recently, there have been a lot of such remarks among the people. Even he has heard it a few times. I believe that Star Lord Candelen must have heard it, but he did not stop it and allowed the rumors to get worse. This operation is very disturbing. People are confused.

Neither the couple expected that this rumor would actually come true after being circulated for half a month.

The trigger was that Candelen submitted multiple applications to the Main Star Council in succession, hoping that the Main Star Council could give policy preferences to the fourth star in terms of funds, technology, talents, resources, etc.

The main star is financially stretched, so how can it have enough money to support the fourth star? What's more, with the current situation of the fourth star, it is a bottomless pit, and no amount of money will be enough to fill it.

It's just that I won't say it so rudely in writing. I fully understand the current difficulties of the fourth star, but the main star can't do anything and it's up to you.

This red-headed document with the official seal of the Main Star Council was 'accidentally' posted online, and the people of the Fourth Star immediately went crazy. Since the Main Star does not provide any assistance and ignores the suffering of the people of the Fourth Star, why continue? What about 'affiliation'?

Subsequently, the people of the Fourth Star really 'spontaneously' held a referendum, demanding that the Fourth Star be independent from the five administrative stars. The results were astonishing. 80% of the people voted in favor of independence.

As soon as the voting results came out, all mankind was in an uproar. Isn't this blatantly split?
The most difficult one is the Council. The reason why the people of the fourth star demand independence is that the main star does not provide resources, but it is not only the fourth star that does not provide resources, the other three satellite stars also have no resources.

What if they all follow suit and vote for independence?
Aldrich used a dedicated communication to ask Candern three times a day, "Can it be controlled? How to calm public opinion? How is the situation going now?"

Candlen is now as stable as a rock. "The office building is surrounded by angry people. The people of the fourth star have nothing now. They have eaten one meal but not another. I have no ability to control it."

"Where is the Guard? Isn't the Sixth Guard garrisoned in the Fourth Star? Let them go out to disperse the people. Stability comes first!" Aldrich said.

"Can I easily mobilize the guards? Besides, there are only 1 guards on the fourth star. They are scattered in various important towns. There are only 2000 troops stationed in the main city. What can they do?
If the people really take action against the guards, will the guards dare to fight back? "Kandern's words left Aldrich speechless.

With Yu Rong's personality, she would definitely not get involved in this muddy water, let alone let the guards point their guns at the people.

Candlen changed the subject and said, "It's not like there's nothing we can do."

"If you have any ideas, tell me!" Aldrich urged.

"Oh, forget it." Candeln deliberately kept it secret, which made Aldrich even more anxious. "Say!" Candeln said hesitantly, "Just forget about this idea. It may not be a good idea. .

Currently, more than half of the Sixth Guard is empty. If so many redundant positions can be provided to the people of the Fourth Star, it will be a great tool for maintaining stability. How can you still want to ruin the main star when you are eating the main star's food? "

"Hiss..." Aldrich took a breath and asked the Sixth Guard to recruit troops alone on the fourth star? Neither the Council nor the Guards had any precedent for this.

"That's all I said, and you don't have to pay too much attention to it." Candlen said again.

After thinking for a moment, Aldrich asked again, "What is Yu Rong's opinion?"

"She? It's none of your business. As long as the fourth star is not attacked from the outside, there will be no sign of the escort at all." Candelen complained.

"Fourth Star, try your best to hold it steady. As for your proposal, the council will consider it carefully."

A week later, Yu Rong received a joint notice from the Guards and the Council that the Sixth Guards could recruit members on their own at the Fourth Star.

Yu Rong was confused after receiving the order, and then thought that maybe Star Lord Candelen had done something behind his back.

After going back in the evening, they found Han Hongxu, a free military advisor, to analyze the whole incident. After some analysis, the two of them were shocked to realize that Candern's move was indeed brilliant.

First, go to Yu Rong directly to make sure that Yu Rong has no ambition to support his own troops.

Then he insisted on sending the application even though he knew that the council would reject the support application, just to get a clear rejection from the council.

After the official reply was announced, it naturally aroused public dissatisfaction. After all, no one is born to suffer. Back then, the Council used the so-called peace agreement to personally deliver the fourth star to the M planet people. This anger was easily aroused. .

When the anger of the people of the Fourth Star reached its peak, someone took the lead in calling for an independence referendum, and naturally hundreds of people responded.

Candeln then used the so-called referendum results to put pressure on the main star, forcing the council to make a decision as soon as possible.

Delegating the temporary conscription power to the Fourth Star and the Sixth Guards may cause the Sixth Guards to become a dominant force. However, if the conscription power is not delegated, the Fourth Star will become independent.

If the main star had strong troops and horses at the beginning, it would not pay attention to this small crisis, but now all human beings are severely weakened. If the fourth star really wants to become independent at this moment, the main star really has no choice.

The lesser of two evils, a highly controversial issue, was finally passed by a narrow margin at the plenary session of the council.

What a great chess game, Candeln does have a brain. Put yourself in a helpless position, lead the council by the nose, and let them not notice.

The only party to benefit from this matter seems to be Yu Rong's Sixth Guard.

Pies in the sky will not be free of charge. Since Candelen has given such a huge benefit to the Sixth Guards, he naturally has an agenda.

It seems that it is necessary for the couple to pay a visit tomorrow.
