Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 489 Radical Contradiction
Home galaxy, federal star, federal parliament building.

Led by the federal guard officer, Lin Feng walked into the venue.Although he had already made mental preparations, Lin Feng still felt a little nervous when he saw the tens of thousands of federal hospitals full of people.In fact, this is also Lin Feng's first visit to this sacred place.

This building, which is entirely made of the extremely hard dragon rock produced from the Dragon Rock Star, has stood here for thousands of years, witnessing the rise and fall of the Human Federation.Even now, people have to lament that the person who built this building, the founder of the Human Federation, was too far-sighted.More than 4000 years ago, when the human federation was still very weak, these people foresaw the future and built this building that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.Although at that time, there were only 49 members of the Human Federation Parliament.At that time, no one even believed that the human federation could exist for thousands of years, not to mention thinking that the human federation could grow to the scale it is today.

In a sense, this is the holy land of the Human Federation.

More than 4000 years ago, the founder of the Human Federation announced to all civilizations here that the Galactic Federation had a new member.

Although it is only a mansion made of dragon rocks, this mansion has great significance to anyone.

Mainly, of course, symbolism.

In the past thousands of years, even in the most difficult times, such as the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Federal Parliament Building has not been damaged.

It's just that it's not what it used to be.

Although the Federal Parliament Building is open to everyone, as early as 2000 years ago, after the end of the third Greenwich War, the federal authorities introduced a targeted bill, clearly stipulating that only federal citizens have the right to enter the building, Must be approved.

Obviously, it was not civilians who were allowed to enter the building.

Not to mention anything else, even Lin Feng had never been here before, let alone spoke in front of tens of thousands of MPs.

You know, the federal power is in the hands of more than 1 congressmen.

Similarly, the problems faced by the Human Federation are also related to these more than 1 congressmen.

To put it simply, even if it is a trivial matter, it is impossible to reach a consensus among more than 1 people, let alone a major event related to the future of the Federation.

Perhaps, those pioneers who built this building did not think of this problem either.

At the beginning, the Human Federation had only 49 members, of which 24 were from the federal authorities, and the other 25 were elected by the five jurisdictions directly under the Federation.

In fact, this has also become the basic system of the Human Federation.

In the following thousands of years, the jurisdiction of the Human Federation expanded hundreds of times, not to mention, it ruled over a thousand colonial galaxies.While the jurisdiction area expanded, the population size of the Human Federation also expanded rapidly.Before the outbreak of the Sixth Greenwich War, the population of the Human Federation was more than 1000 times that of when it was just created.As a result, the size of the Federal Parliament has also continued to expand.

Among the more than 1 congressmen, half of them are from the federal authorities. To be precise, they are representatives elected by the federal authorities and elected from the home galaxy, that is, citizens who have settled in the home galaxy.The other half are all from various colonized galaxies, that is, representatives of the colonized galaxies.

Although the purpose of this setting is to maintain the unity and unity of the Federation and avoid the intensification of internal conflicts, the effect is just the opposite.Quite simply, the interests of the home galaxy and the colonizing galaxy can never be the same, so the contradiction between the home galaxy and the colonizing galaxy always exists.To put it bluntly, as long as the home galaxy is still high and plundering the resources of the colonial galaxy, then the residents of the colonial galaxy will never be able to get together with the citizens of the home galaxy, and the contradictions between the two classes will naturally be irreconcilable.

It can be said that this is the fundamental problem of the Human Federation.

Although most of the time, the home galaxy occupies a dominant position, the reason is very simple, that is, all the military power of the Human Federation is in the hands of the home galaxy, and the main army and the main fleet are deployed in the home galaxy. Military plans revolve around the home galaxy, and the colony galaxy not only does not have its own military power, it does not even have the power to form an armed force, so naturally it cannot compete with the home galaxy.But in times of war, the dominance of the home system is not so obvious.To put it bluntly, if the colonial galaxy is lost, the home galaxy will be exposed to the enemy, and no matter how powerful the military force is, it will be difficult to support it alone.

In the past several Greenwich Wars, the importance of colonizing the galaxy has been verified countless times.

The resulting effect is that whenever a war breaks out, the parliamentarians of the colonial galaxy will seize the opportunity to demand that the federal authorities devolve more powers, and even demand partial autonomy.Although the federal authorities will compromise when they have to, it is only a compromise, and it is a temporary compromise. It has not fundamentally resolved the contradiction between the home galaxy and the colonial galaxy, and no one has such an idea.

At the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War, this contradiction almost led to the demise of the Human Federation.

At that time, if Xiao Wentian hadn't stepped forward to unite the Human Federation through bloody battles on the Lighthouse Star, the Human Federation might have ceased to exist long ago.

The problem is, after Xiao Wentian, there is no second person who can unite the Human Federation.

During the Millennium Peace and Prosperity, the internal conflicts of the Human Federation were not very prominent, at least they did not erupt, and there was no chance of erupting.The point is, the colonized galaxy has no capital to rebel at all.Although there were several riots and even some rebellions, they were all suppressed and did not have much impact on the overall stability of the Human Federation. Not many people even knew about the riots in the colonial galaxy.

But now, the situation is extremely delicate.

Before coming here, Lin Xiaoting talked with Lin Feng alone and introduced the current situation to her.

For the Human Federation, the biggest threat now is not the army of silicon demons entrenched outside the home galaxy, or even the full-scale attack that has already been launched, but that the Human Federation has not yet reached an agreement on some key issues, and the resistance from the Federation Council is biggest obstacle.For example, the Federal Parliament has so far failed to approve the mandatory conscription law, which authorizes federal authorities to unconditionally recruit persons of appropriate age to serve in the military.

At the beginning, Lin Feng still felt very strange.

However, after Lin Xiaoting explained the situation, she also understood what was going on.

In fact, the key point is the contradiction between the home galaxy and the colonial galaxy.

Shortly after the war broke out, more than 1000 congressmen from the colonial galaxy jointly proposed to request that the colonial galaxy be given the right to form a self-defense military force through legislation, and the federal authorities should provide substantial help to the colonial galaxy, such as the necessary technology. support.To put it simply, these councilors hope that the colonial system can form a military force under the direct command of the colonial system authority with the support of the federal authorities.Of course, the reason is also very good. In the war against the invasion of the Silicon Demon Alliance, the residents of the colonial galaxy have the right and obligation to defend their homes, and the federal authorities also have the obligation to support the residents of the colonial galaxy in defending their basic right to survival.If the federal authorities cannot provide sufficient protection for the colony system to ensure the safety of the colony system, it is time to devolve power.

It must be admitted that this reason is indeed very good.

The problem is, that's not the main purpose.

To put it bluntly, what the parliamentarians of the colonial galaxy want is autonomy, and they coerce the federal authorities by forming military forces to make the federal authorities make concessions.

Of course, this is not the first time.

At the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War, the representatives of the colonial galaxy also made similar demands, but at that time, Xiao Wentian succeeded in persuading most of the representatives of the colonial galaxy to make both sides make a compromise.In the end, the federal authorities gave the colonial system the power to form military forces in times of war by way of executive order.After the war, the Federation authorities rescinded the military authority given to colonizing the system by rescinding this executive order.

This time, the federal authorities also decided to respond to the request to colonize the system in the same way.

It is a pity that there is no leader like Xiao Wentian to come forward to make arrangements.

Because the federal authorities did not make concessions on the issue of delegating military power to grant autonomy to the colonial galaxy, the parliamentarians of the colonial galaxy are conducting the most important bill for war mobilization, that is, the compulsory conscription law. The bill never passed Parliament.

Obviously, if this situation continues, the Human Federation will not be able to complete the war mobilization on time, and it will not be possible to talk about victory.

If there was a leader like Xiao Wentian at this time, none of these problems would be a problem.

However, no one can become a leader like Xiao Wentian now.

As for Lin Feng, he was not qualified at all.

However, what Lin Feng has to do now is to become the second Xiao Wentian, even if he is not a leader like Xiao Wentian, he must convince those councilors from the colonial galaxy to put the life and death of the Human Federation as the most important thing. Even if it is only a temporary compromise with the federal authorities.

The question is, is this possible?

When Lin Xiaoting mentioned this matter, Lin Feng couldn't believe it.

If it was Zhan Ruilin or some other marshal who came to the podium, they might be able to convince those congressmen, but Lin Feng was just a soldier, a colonel from the Special Investigation Brigade.Obviously, among the tens of millions of officers and soldiers in the Human Federation, a colonel is nothing at all.

Lin Feng originally thought that Lin Xiaoting was joking with her, but when she came here, she realized it was not a joke.

Whether she wants to or not, she has to walk into the venue, get on the podium, explain her views in front of more than 1 congressmen, and then let these congressmen make rational choices.

Lin Feng didn't have any confidence. If she could make her own choice, she would rather face [-] silicon demon warriors.

However, she is a federal soldier and can only obey orders, even if it is an order so ridiculous that she finds it ridiculous, she can't laugh at all.
