Him and their stars

"Twelve hundred years ago, a great holy king signed the Declaration of Racial Emancipation, and now we are in the city that she personally supervised."

Is this a coincidence, Yu Lian thought? The city of Gerrokin where we are now was really built during the reign of the great Emperor Yiwenna who was resurrected from the fire.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention. Even two unmanned camera robots pulled over the lens and gave him a close-up of his face. Mr. Qi was even more energetic and interested. The intuition of a master at the pinnacle of the writing field told him that he might witness the birth of a classic moment.

...Hey, how dare this kid steal my limelight! However, it feels so interesting!

As for the president, editor-in-chief, and a row of senior executives from various departments who were hiding outside the studio, the sense of smell of the media people also told them that a big news was really about to break.

"Do you want to stop?" the director asked the editor-in-chief.

"Why should we stop? We are a liberal media, right?" Another director expressed his objection.

The editor-in-chief thought to himself that I am in charge of the newspaper, and your online video program has nothing to do with me, so he looked at the president, which also attracted everyone present to look over. At that moment, the president who was inexplicably under the spotlight suddenly felt that in an instant, he seemed to have gone through a long and arduous period of misery and muddle-headedly endured too much pain that life cannot bear.

"I, this, but..."

The president looked hesitantly at Yu Lian, who was chatting. This guy was obviously just a make-up, so why did he start to take the spotlight? Wait... Yu Lian, I seem to have heard this name somewhere.

Through the studio window, he suddenly made eye contact with Yu Lian for a moment, and his heart was shocked. Those gleaming black eyes seemed to be searching for the only source of light in the darkness.

"Go ahead and record it!" the president gritted his teeth and said, "Then complete the film as soon as possible and try to broadcast it before tonight!"

People around looked at Mr. President, who was breathing heavily from his nose, and were a little confused for a moment. They really know the president's behavior very well. The noble real power celebrated the birth of the earl, but because he was the youngest son, he only had the title of lifelong viscount. Of course, because he is the youngest son, he is nearly twenty years younger than his brother who is preparing to seize the title. He cannot threaten the latter's status, so of course he is very favored and there is no shortage of money.

He received a complete higher education and was influenced by the civil rights movement of the "academics". Among the imperial aristocrats who were full of martial virtue but also obsessed with racism and blood theory, he had a little bit of conscience. and compassionate "reformers", but that's all.

For this aristocratic-born president, the reason for running this so-called left-wing media is probably to fill the vacancy in this area. On the other hand, to put it bluntly, I just want to find something to talk about with the rich lady in the salon.

Yes, the aesthetics of the aristocratic ladies in the imperial capital are of course very healthy, and the most popular ones are the heroic and masculine knights with great military exploits. But we have to know that the vast majority of the eldest sons of hereditary nobles are trained according to this template. Once the number of people increases, it will naturally start to get complicated. It is still very difficult to stand out.

In this case, it is better to change the style, maybe you can find a blue ocean.

But it is precisely because of this half-hearted mentality that the "National Unity Newspaper", known as the largest left-wing media in the empire, is a typical "Don't dare to report important things, report important things lightly, and simply don't report ordinary things." What kind of topic and news are just scratching the surface, not daring to dig deeper.

To be honest, those who can work for National Unity Newspaper, a left-wing media that has always been disliked by the mainstream, still have a little bit of sentiment and sense of social responsibility in their hearts. However, even though they could protect themselves and the newspaper office by performing such superficial work several times, everyone's enthusiasm gradually grew cold.

However, this time, the president's reaction was beyond their expectations.

His face was radiant, his eyes were firm, his posture was proud, and his blood and passionate aura were about to condense into a fighting spirit visible to the naked eye, as if he could carry a pack of explosives to a mine at any time.

The editor-in-chief and various directors, who had never seen Mr. President so burning, started burning like migratory birds. They suddenly found that they had once again found a man in his twenties, who had just graduated from college, and his heart was full of passion. Myself suddenly became energetic and started working with great energy.

While Yu Lian continued to give an impassioned speech, he lamented that the current media is really a bit like the first half of the 19th and 20th centuries in his previous life. It is left-wing when it comes to left-wing, and it is really passionate when it comes to passion. This is really not like when I came back, no matter which group of media they belong to, they have become the mouthpieces of capital. There is not much sense of social responsibility left for the livelihood of the people, and the level of overall work is beyond the level of professional proficiency.

In short, starting from today, the "National Unity Newspaper" and these rare left-wing media people in the empire will probably step into a new world, right? This can be regarded as my meritorious deeds.

“However, today, 1,200 years after the signing of the great Declaration of Racial Emancipation, no one seems to care that non-human races, which account for more than 50% of the country’s total population, are still segregating themselves. They were oppressed under the shackles of the world and the yoke of racial discrimination. Today, one thousand two hundred years later, the non-human race is still trapped on an isolated island of poverty in this prosperous ocean of stars; today, one thousand two hundred years later, The non-human race is still shrinking in the corner of the imperial society. What is even more frightening is that they do not even realize that they are already exiles in their homeland."

As for this so-called "Declaration of Racial Liberation", it was also signed by the immortal Emperor Ewenya during the imperial civil war 1,200 years ago.

In fact, the inheritance of the throne after the rebirth was full of religious concepts like the chosen one, but the development process was by no means as peaceful as imagined.

Emperor Ewenya emerged from the fire, killed his father, wore the Infinity Crown, defeated the plunderers, and inherited the throne. However, there are also a considerable number of powerful factions in the empire who believe that the Queen's ascension to the throne is not legal and demand a new emperor. The queen who broke through the fire firmly believed in her destiny and would never accept it.

Since we can't reach an agreement, of course we have to fight a civil war.

At the same time, in order to prevent other enemy countries from taking advantage of the situation, the civil war must be won quickly. As a result, the Queen signed the "Declaration of Racial Liberation" under the persuasion of her art partner and later a wise prime minister, Shaildi, in order to obtain sources of troops.

In this declaration, in addition to humans, and with the exception of a few blacklisted ethnic groups such as the ancient Meiyas, all non-human races also have the right to join the army, take the civil service examination, and obtain citizenship and even titles for meritorious service.

Her Majesty has thus received a huge amount of support in a short period of time. She even used non-human alien races to specially form a Marine Corps Guards Corps. From the regiment commander to the division commander to all the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers, they were all alien races, and used them as sharp knives to charge. in front.

The civil war lasted less than a year, and the Queen achieved total victory. At the same time, the Galactic Empire quickly gave birth to 100 million non-human imperial citizens and more than 3,000 non-human nobles. You must know that the total number of citizens of the empire at that time was only over a billion, and the number of nobles was less than 30,000.

However, now, 1,200 years have passed, and the total population of citizens of the empire has increased nearly twenty times, and the number of nobles has reached 5 million. However, the number of non-human citizens and nobles is only 200 million for the former and just over 10,000 for the latter.

Therefore, everyone can understand what kind of liberation law the so-called "Racial Liberation Declaration" is.

Ordinary non-human poor people cannot notice this, but the citizens and nobles who have become the upper class of the empire don't even want to say it.

But no matter what kind of work it is, the "Declaration of Racial Liberation" is after all an oracle left by Emperor Ewenya, a decree passed by Congress, which indeed provided a little legal basis for the subsequent imperial liberation movement.

In this case, let me peel it off for you. If you break this layer of window paper first, others will naturally follow. Yu Lian thought.

"Some of you who are sitting in front of the terminal and watching this interview have suffered a lot; some have just walked out of the narrow cells; some have been brutally persecuted in the places of residence because of their pursuit of basic dignity and personality, and have been subjected to atrocities. Tottering in the whirlwind. You are the long-term sufferers of man-made suffering. So, what are you insisting on? What do you really believe?"

"Friends, I tell you today that in the present and in the future, although we have suffered all kinds of difficulties and setbacks, I still have a dream. This dream is not rooted in the Galactic Empire where we are, but the future prospects for us. I have a dream that one day this nation, this universe, and all of our known civilization should stand up to one truth! We hold these truths to be self-evident—that all men are created equal."

Well, I am not a black person. No, I am not a non-human being. These words may be a little less convincing. So let’s revise it and simply extend the general direction to the community of destiny for all intelligent races in the galaxy! Yu Lian thought.

"I dream that one day, on the Red Mountain of Wolfgang, the son of Wolfgang Gladiator will be able to sit down with the son of Astral Knight and talk about the friendship of comrades."

The Wolfgang people were born with strong physical strength and managed to do well in the imperial system, and even produced admirals and parliamentarians. Of course, more of them went into Marines and Stormtroopers.

However, as many Wolfgangs have become good brothers with 50 gold dragons and shed blood on the battlefield, the same number of Wolfgangs have died in legal or underground gladiatorial activities across the empire. Even 100 silver coins have been lost. No. At the same time, there are still a hundred times as many Wolfgang people as the first two, struggling on the poverty line.

"I have a dream that one day, even the Helok Sector and the Symoe Sector, two places where justice has disappeared and oppression is rampant, will become oases of justice and peace."

The Helauk sector and the Symoe sector were both used by the empire to exile prisoners. In addition to various criminal prisoners who are not worthy of the death penalty, of course it also includes a large number of political prisoners, as well as dissidents from all non-human races. They were classified as criminals and driven to these vast empire border sectors. They were either inexplicably sent to the slave black market, or had to work until death.

In those areas, the empire, which is known as the best security among the galactic civilizations, basically only maintains a certain military force. As long as the "sinners" honestly complete the production tasks, as for how they are involved and killed internally, , why are they too lazy to take care of the gangs that are running rampant?

"I have a dream that one day, a poor young Razakai will live in a universe where they will be judged not by their race, but by the quality of their character. They are not born to be Tirero. Servants and servants may also become scholars, engineers, and artists.”

The Razakei people are a famous wandering people in the universe, and there are nearly 10 billion people who are citizens of the empire. This is a small but delicate group. The physical condition and psychic affinity are not very good, and the intelligence level is also inferior among intelligent races. In addition, without a home country of his own, he is naturally one of the most discriminated minorities in the empire.

Of course, since they looked pretty cute, they could still make a living as servants for imperial nobles and citizen families.

However, Yu Lian really wanted to tell these little guys, whose average height is only two-thirds of a human being, that "lamaid" is really not a good word.

"I have a dream today. I dream that one day, the distant Quasante sector will be transformed. Although the sector governor there and the Duke of Arosan family are still full of dissent and collusion, resisting the "Declaration of Racial Emancipation" and The implementation of the Basic Bill of Rights. But one day, the boys and girls of the Starfish there will be able to walk hand in hand with the boys and girls of the Tirero people."

The Quasante Sector is actually where the story of "The Green Star Princess and the Seven Dwarfs" takes place, and where the planet Quife is located. It is also considered one of the most conservative places in the empire.

The fiefdom of Duke Arosan is in the Quesante sector. For generations, his ancestors have been bloody slave owners without blood or tears, and they are racists with a stamp of ideological imprint. They have guarded the country's borders for generations and naturally have huge influence in the sector government. As a result, the heads of previous sector governments have become the executors of their will.

It stands to reason that if loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal. With the thunderous skills of the Chenxi royal family, it is impossible for such princes to remain. But in fact, the Duke of Arosan has been a loyal dog of the Dawn Royal Family for generations. In addition to criticizing the "Declaration of Racial Liberation", if the empire needs their power, there will be no ambiguity. Throughout the ages, core members of the family have died fighting for the hegemony of the empire and the authority of the emperor. They can be said to be full of loyalties!

""I dream that one day, the valleys will rise, the mountains will descend, the rough and tortuous roads will become smooth, and the Holy Light will be revealed and shine on the world.

With this belief, and with the help of Mr. Qi, I completed this work. I hope to convey this belief to you! With this belief, we will be able to carve out a stone of hope from the abyss of despair. With this faith, we will be able to transform the cacophony of bickering in this country into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this belief, we will definitely understand that ten thousand years is too late, we only seize the day! "

Yu Lian didn't know whether his speech could be broadcast, or how much impact it would have on the current empire. However, what he can be sure of is that after he thought so eloquently and emotionally in a speech of more than 2,000 words, his thoughts now are really clear!

Probably because of this, his star ring vaguely seemed to expand in a circle, taking a firm and steady step towards the fifth ring.

Before Yu Lian could feel proud, he heard a cheer from the side. Mr. Qi had already jumped up and clapped his hands. He hugged Yu Lian and patted his shoulder hard.

"How dare you say that! Hahahahaha!" The man in his sixties smiled like a teenager in middle school.

"Long live! Seize the day!" The directors and editors behind the camera also cheered. Each one of them seemed to have taken a shot of gunpowder. Their whole bodies were filled with passionate and generous momentum, and they all transformed into heroes of love and justice. warrior.

In fact, they now feel like warriors who have been given weapons and have the determination to fight to the end against this unfair and evil world.

They have discovered the power of dreams!

...Yu Lian glanced at the group of left-wing media people who were almost singing and dancing, and found that almost all of them were completely human beings. He couldn't help but mentally shrugged and wished them all the best in their activities.
