Him and their stars
Chapter 451 Wings of Chaos
"Grand Duke Sator of Franmore? Oh, that famous good man!" Yu Lian was not unfamiliar with this name at all. Of course, it's in the future.
"His Royal Highness Sarto is indeed a great and wise king! His death can be said to be a loss to the entire galaxy..." Counselor Bliss sighed heavily, as if he was really mourning for the other person's passing: "It's just, If he dies like this, the Franmore Galaxy, and even the entire Fermo Star Region, will probably fall into turmoil again."
Mr. Qi also sighed, his condolences should be more sincere than Counselor Bliss, but he commented unceremoniously: "You are wrong, Bliss. He is a good man, but he is not a wise king. "
Yes, merit is actually an objective evaluation. But good and bad are just a relative concept. Yu Lian thought.
Don't get me wrong, although Yu Lian has killed many people, he is still a hero with a reputation throughout the galaxy. You can't just meet someone in this life who was your enemy in the previous life.
In fact, His Highness Sarto, Grand Duke of Franmore, not only was not an enemy, but Yu Lian still had some respect for him. Of course, it's not that I admire his character or ability, but that I have amazing admiration for his outlook and methods of doing things.
The so-called Grand Duke of Franmore, as the name suggests, is the ruler of the Franmore Galaxy. However, this was also many years ago. In the era of Emperor Aenaridor 1,400 years ago, imperial colonists arrived on the planet that had just entered the era of earth-moon exploration, and naturally incorporated it into their own territory.
The Franmores are not a "same race" of humans, nor are they a race of talented warriors. However, in the face of the empire's overwhelming advantages in all aspects, this race, which does not have any innate advantages, is still rising up to resist, which makes the imperial royal family who have no blood or tears feel a little moved.
Considering that the Franmore Galaxy is the only way for the imperial forces to enter the small cantilever, long-term instability is not conducive to the empire's hegemony. While increasing the intensity of suppression, the empire's top brass at that time also made many very rare decisions. appeasement measures.
The Flanmore people were the first foreign race to have imperial citizenship, and a considerable number of Flanmore elites were awarded imperial noble titles. As for the former resistance leader who held a high status among the Franmore people, he was actually directly canonized as the Grand Duke of Franmore.
Such a move plunged these respectable and unyielding resisters into chaos.
Many resistance fighters believed that the empire had softened, and that if they continued to fight, they might be able to gain independence. However, there are also quite a few knowledgeable people who pointed out that the half-year-long resistance has reduced the population of the Flemish people by nearly half, but the empire's garrison has increased. If this continues, the entire nation will be destroyed. They may disappear into the universe.
Now that the empire has shown goodwill, the Flemors should be able to continue to exist as a vassal state of the empire.
In the age of big space, gone are the days of hiding in your own galaxy and living a small life while slowly climbing the technological tree. If a late-developing civilization wants to find a chance to survive in this universe, it always needs to find a boss.
In this case, what is the difference between pronouncing "ally" and writing "lackey" and vassal state?
Naturally, there are many angry and passionate young people who call these "sane people" traitors, but the split of the resistance is already a foregone conclusion.
Then, the Grand Duchy of Franmore was really established. The leader of the resistance army who is regarded as the savior by the people is also the ancestor of Sator.
Then, over a thousand years, even such an unyielding nation would be slowly boiled to death by the empire.
First, the third generation of Archduke Franmore and his heirs died due to "accidents". The central government believed that this was a conspiracy by local radicals, and in order to protect the Grand Duke's young grandson, he took him to live in the imperial capital.
During this period, all military and political power in the Grand Duchy was taken over by the Empire's advisory group.
Twenty years later, when this child grew up and returned to the country to take the throne, except for his appearance, he had grown into a thoroughbred high-ranking nobleman of Tirello.
Ever since, it has become a tradition for every generation of grand duke of the Grand Duchy of Franmore and the heirs of their senior officials to receive education in the imperial capital from an early age.
Later, the eleventh Grand Duke Lanval showed excellent scientific research talent when he was a student. He studied for a doctorate in the imperial capital and later became a famous medical scholar. The emperor of the empire at that time was none other than Emperor Yvonne, who was said to have made great contributions to racial equality in the empire. He awarded the academician the title of academician and appointed him as the minister of health and life sciences.
Grand Duke Lanval was so moved that he felt that he could only repay Her Majesty the Queen's great kindness by dedicating himself to the task. And he did exactly that. As an excellent technocrat and an outstanding medical biologist, he also left a considerable reputation in history.
However, this academic master has lived in the imperial capital almost all his life, and has only returned to his hometown five times in total, and the total time has not exceeded two years.
From that time on, it became normal for the Grand Dukes of Franmore to hold important positions in the center of the empire and even in the army.
It is difficult for the Flemors and the Alliance to find any legal flaws. You must know that the empire recognizes dual nationality (empire and vassal state). As long as you have imperial nationality, you are of course qualified to serve in the imperial government and army.
In addition, the empire did not treat Archduke Franmore who served in the central government badly. In the history of thousands of years, there have been three generals and two ministers, which can definitely be regarded as the inspirational ceiling for non-human races in the imperial officialdom.
More than four centuries later, the Grand Duchy of Franmore almost only existed as a legal concept. Although administrative officials at all levels have an adviser, they actually follow the personnel appointment and removal procedures of the Prime Minister's Office. As for the permanent population in the galaxy, less than 50% of the Flammore people are left, while the Tireluo people have exceeded one-third. This means that the Flammore galaxy has been completely Complete the localization of the empire.
There is no way, the geographical location of this galaxy is too important, and it is a very important interstellar transportation network node.
Once this area becomes a hostile force, the four military districts on the front line of the confrontation between the Feimo Star Territory and the Alliance will lose the largest transportation volume among the three transportation arteries connected to the mainland.
In addition, the empire's core territory located on the first cantilever will also lose the most convenient direct transportation connection with the star sectors in the smaller cantilever. That is a vast land that includes thirty naturally habitable planets and is home to more than 100 billion people.
Let’s use an inappropriate metaphor. The Franmore Galaxy is roughly equivalent to the Hexi Corridor of the Galactic Empire. As long as the high-ranking officials in the empire are not collectively demoralized, they will never allow such an important position to belong to an awkward vassal state.
Times have changed, and today, the Flanmore people are still struggling to resist, but the various national salvation organizations are far less powerful than their ancestors who lived more than a thousand years ago, both in scale and combat effectiveness.
With the help of the last galactic war, the Franmore Liberation Organization took advantage of the empire's internal and external difficulties to rise up. Even though it was the largest rebellion of the Franmore people in the past five hundred years, it was still easily suppressed by the empire.
However, although the Franmore Liberation Organization does not have the momentum of its predecessors, it has a resilience that their predecessors did not have. Although they were defeated, they did not perish and went underground to continue their struggle.
After nearly half a century of resistance, the empire still succeeded in killing three generals. Regular army casualties also reached six figures. The empire was immediately furious. The military did not even wait for the order from the base camp to be issued before spontaneously retaliating.
Without the current Grand Duke Sator, the Franmore Galaxy would probably once again become a turbulent Shura cemetery. It goes without saying what a miserable situation ordinary people will fall into.
"You are imperial soldiers, and you actually point your guns at the citizens of the empire? You should be ashamed! Shame on you!" He stopped the imperial soldiers who wanted to retaliate against ordinary Flemish civilians, and ran to the garrison headquarters. Ask the empire's generals to restrain their men.
"If you can't do that, then you are no longer worthy of wearing the glorious imperial uniform." The Grand Duke picked up his cane, turned it into a sword, and beat up all the imperial generals who spoke rudely to him.
"I am still a senator of the Imperial Royal Council, a director of the Imperial Shipping and Trade Committee, and one of the senior national policy advisors of the Prime Minister's Office. You are so rude, you are despising His Majesty and the patriarchal clan of the empire! Even if you are treated as if you were beaten to death, it will not matter. No one dares to pick on me.”
From a legal point of view, what Grand Duke Sato said is really right. In addition, the fact that he, a civil servant serving as an advisor, was so good at fighting had a huge impact on the imperial generals present, and they all just obeyed orders.
In this way, the people of Franmore were finally spared from retaliation by the Imperial Army.
If only when he was here, Grand Duke Sato's painting style would be relatively normal. However, he later found the guerrillas of the liberation organization and said to them: "Your resistance really has no meaning except bringing more hatred and war. Please believe that hatred can have no results. Please let go of your obsession and stop your fearless resistance."
"We have coexisted with the empire for more than ten centuries, and we have been a member of this big family for a long time. However, the head of the family is unfair. We can argue with him, but there is no reason to destroy this family. .”
"I will request His Majesty the Emperor, I will go to the Privy Council and the Prime Minister's Office to protest, and I will also work hard in the Royal Parliament! The people of Flanmore will definitely get fair treatment, please believe me."
...It is really difficult for Yu Lian to understand such three views. However, after a long period of struggle, the Franmore Liberation Organization had run out of ammunition and food. Most people perhaps could not hold on any longer, so they actually agreed to the Grand Duke's request.
The last resistance forces of the liberation organization walked out of the mountains in the wilderness and the underground waterways of the city and surrendered to the imperial army. Due to His Highness the Grand Duke's arguments, only a few high-level members were sentenced to exile, and most of them were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to ten years. A few lucky ones were freed after only serving one year of hard labor.
In addition, Grand Duke Sato really wanted to fulfill his promise. During the more than 20 years since the Franmore Liberation Organization was disbanded, he had been working hard in the imperial capital, and indeed obtained many policy and investment deviations for his briefings.
The past twenty years or so have indeed been the period of fastest development for the Franmore Galaxy. In purely secular terms, the benefits that Grand Duke Sarto brought to the elders in his hometown were almost as much as those of Grand Duke Franmore in all his dynasties combined.
Of course, even after making so many contributions, his grand dukedom is really just a decoration. He has no territory, no palace, and no army. Taxes on the Franmore system have always been handed over directly to the Prime Minister's Office, and no cents will be paid to him.
But even so, the Grand Duke was still regarded as a saint in the world by his hometown elders. If he returns to Franmore, he can pull out an army far larger than that of the Liberation Organization at any time.
Fortunately, Grand Duke Sarto is indeed a selfless good man, with neither political ambitions nor strong material desires. Now, his whole family relies on their own aristocratic annuity, as well as parliamentarian and consultant subsidies to live. Even a normal mid-level nobleman like the Viscount Baron lived more luxuriously than him.
But no matter what, he is still deeply loved by the people of Flemore, and he is the most important link between the empire and the Flemore galaxy.
Yu Lian vaguely remembered that this Asasi Grand Duke Sato, who hoped that everyone could "understand each other", was a birthday boy, and he seemed to have lived to be 120 or 30 years old. It was during his reign that the Empire completely tamed the Flemor people.
Later in the Queen's Era, Brunhilt imitated her ancestors and directly formed three Flemorian stormtrooper legions, and even promoted two Flemorian admirals. In the Prime Minister's Office presided over by Marshal Humolay, the chief commercial officer in charge of interstellar trade is also a Flemish person.
However, all this disappeared before it happened. The butterfly wings tonight will blow away more than just Miss Wenna’s future!
"In any case, Grand Duke Sarto's appeal in the Franmore Galaxy is too high. Bliss, do you think it is possible that the empire is afraid of his reputation and secretly takes action?" Mr. Qi suddenly said.
So, tonight's assassination was self-directed and staged? Bliss shook his head, feeling that this was not the empire's style.
"Moreover, the one who values the life of Grand Duke Sato the most is the imperial government." Yu Lian also added.
"You see, this is the problem. Most people think that Grand Duke Sator is a thorn in the side of the empire. As long as he dies, and if he dies in an unexplained assassination, there will be a lot of waves in Flamore." Qi The gentleman looked at Bliss and whispered: "So, is there something hidden behind this assassination that we don't know about?"
Counselor Bliss frowned and nodded.
"From the perspective of who benefits and who is the most suspicious, no matter what, it's all the Alliance's doing." Yu Lian said with a smile.
Although it was Yani who drove away the Fourteenth Workshop in her previous life, but who knows if that girl is killing people and silencing them?
Mr. Qi nodded, but said with a smile: "But, I also found that since you came to the imperial capital, the empire seems to have been in trouble? I don't really believe in coincidences. Therefore, these things will not go together. Does it matter to you?"
Yu Lian giggled hahahaha. he
Once again, it is confirmed that all those who can establish a faction in an industry are not fuel-efficient lamps. At least this kind of person's imagination and intuition must be much stronger than ordinary people.
Fortunately, Mr. Qi was joking and did not pursue the question further.
"I will occasionally meet with Major General Lal to follow up on the follow-up matters. As for Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian, he should focus all his energy on the God of War Festival." Bliss spoke earnestly and looked at Yu Lian as if he was looking at A silly son who left home for the first time to live on campus: "Just now, I have contacted the branch of the Explorers Association in the Imperial Capital to help you find a few teammates. How about you meet tomorrow? "
Yu Lian felt that with this work efficiency alone, even if Mr. Bliss became the Minister of Foreign Affairs, it would not be considered a derogation of his talents.
