As he spoke, Fei Qi seemed to have been greatly stimulated. Despite Long Yangjun's acupuncture to soothe and numb his nerves, he was still sobbing in excitement. "Those filthy, lowly miners and the evil people of the Federation marched into the Uranian Ring and the most splendid temple of our civilization together. They burned, looted, and sabotaged, destroying the art and culture that the Heavenly Light had accumulated over thousands of years. It was the end of the world. It was a catastrophe. The Uranian Ring civilization was doomed. It was completely destroyed!
"The rebels of the Earthly Brute and the fleet of the Xing Yao Federation occupied the Uranian Ring together. The Heavenly Light lost the most important base, and the last fleet was still floating at the edge of the galaxy. Without the resources and the support of the base, we became rootless duckweeds.
"We were unable to counterattack the Uranian Ring. Ammunition, spiritual energy, food, and all kinds of assets were running low. The sordid people of the Federation infiltrated us on a large scale and divided us with all kinds of sordid approaches. A lot of traitors had appeared among us. Our morale was lower than ever, too.
"It was impossible for us to fight the war anymore. Having no other choice, we could only choose to surrender.
"Although the Xing Yao Federation won the war, we still had a fleet that was not weak. With the last bit of spiritual energy and ammunition that we had left, although it was impossible for us to counterattack the Uranian Ring, it was still enough to deal a heavy blow to the expedition army of the Federation if we chose to fight with our lives.
"Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Xing Yao Federation to annihilate us at the risk of losing eight hundred of their own men. Instead, they accepted our surrender. However, the terms of our surrender were that we had to acknowledge the new government of the Uranian Ring Sector and all the decisions that it made. If we found them unacceptable, they would have to ask us to leave, which meant that they were going to exile us!"
Long Yangjun waved her hands again. "The new government?"
"Yes. The Star Glory Federation is an extremely hypocritical country. It is an out-and-out invader that is doing the business of looting and expansion. Yet, it likes to flatter itself and pretends to be a righteous, noble, and righteous country!"
Fei Qi gnashed his teeth. "Even a three-year-old knows that the war between the Federation and the Uranian Ring Sector was to swallow the Uranian Ring Sector and occupy the super enormous orbital docks that we inherited from the Star Ocean Imperium. However, under the official statement of the Federation, the war turned into a civil war of the Uranian Ring Sector!
"The officials of the Xing Yao Federation call the riot of the Earthly Brute an 'uprising', and the rebels of the Earthly Brute are called the 'anti-government army'. The Xing Yao Federation only intervened in the war at the invitation and request of the anti-government army. Everything is in line with the so-called … 'interstellar law'!
"The Xing Yao Federation has absolutely no intention of colonizing the Uranian Ring Sector. Our future can be decided by ourselves. Now that the war is over, and the government that was purely made of the Heavenly Light has been defeated, the government naturally needs to be reorganized. The new government will be elected and constituted by all the natives of the Uranian Ring Sector, including the Heavenly Light and the Earthly Brute, through a referendum."
Deep in thought, Long Yangjun said, "It does not sound very harsh."
"It is not harsh."
The most painful nerve inside Fei Qi's brain was touched. He bellowed, "This is an out-and-out trap and a blatant scheme! The population of the Heavenly Light is very small. It is less than one percent of the population of the Earthly Brute. If the new government is elected based on population ratio or voting, we will have absolutely no power at all!
"Besides, even the pitiful one percent of the power has been stolen by the Heavenly Light who surrendered to the Federation in advance!
"Although the traitors are also members of the Heavenly Light, they used to be the bottom-level members of the Heavenly Light who lived outside of the Uranian Ring and were responsible for the maintenance and maintenance of the shell of the Uranian Ring!
"Those scumbags of the Heavenly Light were the first to surrender when the Earthly Brute and the Xing Yao Federation attacked the Uranian Ring. With their familiarity with the structure and weaknesses of the Uranian Ring, they betrayed our civilization and won the favor of their new masters. Now, they have become the spokespersons of the Heavenly Light and the mascots of the new government!
"Just like that, under the manipulation of the Xing Yao Federation, an organization named 'Referendum Committee' was established to 'help' the natives of the Uranian Ring Sector form a new government. Jin Xinyue, the venomous witch, was the chairman of the committee."
"Wait!"
Li Yao frowned again and raised his suspicion. "Jin Xinyue … Who is she? Wasn't she Ding Ling Dong just now?"
"Jin Xinyue is a notorious she-devil, too. She is as famous as Ding Ling Dong in the Federation. Both of them are powerful and notorious. Many people even say that the two women have divided more than half of the power of the entire Federation!"
Fei Qi explained, "One of the two she-devils is a scholar while the other is a warrior. They each have their own specialties. Ding Lingdang is brutal and bloodthirsty. She conquered the free worlds with her strength, but Jin Xinyue is best known for her shamelessness, cunningness, and brutality. She is best known for her cunning and ruthlessness. She is best known for her cunning smile! More than half of the schemes of the Federation were planned by the she-devil.
"During the war, Ding Lingdang, known as' Blazing Tyrannosaur ', was in the vanguard. When it was time to swallow the Uranian Ring civilization carefully after the war, it was naturally Jin Xinyue, the Venomous Witch, who took the lead!
"Under Ding Ling Dong's call and Jin Xinyue's manipulation, it is not hard to imagine what the new government made of the rioters of the Earthly Brute and the traitors of the Heavenly Light will be like.
"The first decision of the new government after it was established was to reorganize the previous' Referendum Committee 'into a' Liquidation Committee ', which would continue to be led by Jin Xinyue. It would be responsible for settling the' oppression 'of the Heavenly Light on the Earthly Brute in the past thousands of years.
"The second decision was that the Uranian Ring Sector would be merged into the Xing Yao Federation in five years and become one of the participating worlds of the Federation!
"They've completely torn off their disguise and are impatient to swallow our world without disguise!"
"The Heavenly Light watched our lovely civilization being savaged and swallowed by the Xing Yao Federation without being able to do anything, because we were barely able to protect ourselves at this moment. Under the shameless scheme of Jin Xinyue, most of our properties were confiscated. Many people who were unlucky even owed a lot of debts and lost everything overnight!"
Li Yao scratched his chin. "Confiscated your properties? Uh, this … Snake and Scorpion Witch, what shameless excuse did she use to confiscate your property? Just because you lost the war? "
"No. The Xing Yao Federation is the most hypocritical, sordid, and shameless country. They would not achieve their purpose with such a simple and crude reason," Fei Qi said bitterly.
"Jin Xinyue brought a large batch of elite … lawyers, actuaries, accountants, and insurance specialists from the Xing Yao Federation. They began to help the Earthly Brute analyze and calculate all the 'oppression' that they suffered during the exploitation of resources below the ground in the past thousands of years.
"The final conclusion of the 'Liquidation Committee' was that during the exploitation of the mother lodes in the past thousands of years, the 'Uranian Ring Sector', the previous government of the Uranian Ring civilization, had serious management responsibilities, including the long working hours of the miners, the frequent work-related injuries and accidents due to inadequate safety measures, the lack of disability benefits and pensions after the accidents, and the employment of child labor. Most of the workers did not receive the benefits that they should have.
"The most unbelievable thing was that she — she — Jin Xinyue, the witch, even regarded the strengthened arms that we carefully prepared for the Earthly Brute as an abnormality and a 'work-related injury'!
"All in all, the pensions, overtime pay, work-related injury compensation, and the compensation for various insurances over the past thousands of years … Together with the interest accumulated over the past thousands of years, it became an appalling, astronomical number!
"The Liquidation Committee spent an entire year issuing a list of accounts with a total of a hundred and twenty thousand pages, listing every 'debt' that we owed. It also pointed out that the previous government of the Uranian Ring civilization had to immediately compensate the descendants of all the miners over the past thousands of years, namely all the Earthly Brute, the high amount of money that included unemployment benefits, pensions, overtime pay, work-related injury compensation, death benefits, and interest.
"The previous' Uranian Ring Sector 'had already been drained of everything in the war. How could it have any money to compensate?
"Therefore, not just the entire Uranian Ring, even the training rooms, laboratories, docks, residences, and other ancillary facilities inside the Uranian Ring that originally belonged to us were confiscated 'legitimately'.
"Most of the members of the Heavenly Light were deeply connected to the mining industry. If we were to trace back to the source, everything on the Uranian Ring originated from the surface of the planet. Faced with Jin Xinyue's unreasonable calculations, we could not say anything, and we could not even take a single rivet with us!
"The leadership of the previous government, the big shots of the Heavenly Light who directly owned the shares in the mining industry, were even more miserable. After the entire Uranian Ring and its ancillary facilities were discounted as compensation, they had to pay for the parts that were not enough. Many magnates of the mining industry owed compensation that they could not pay back in ten lifetimes. It was even more miserable than if they were killed!"
Fei Qi couldn't have been more sorrowful when he reached this part. He opened his mouth many times, only to be choked with sobs. Finally, he calmed himself down and sighed. "Just like that, after the liquidation was over, the Uranian Ring Sector was officially swallowed by the Xing Yao Federation.
"The Xing Yao Federation claimed that it had implemented a policy of 'freedom to come and go without being forced'. If the Heavenly Light were willing to accept the reality that they had nothing and had to start all over again, and if they were willing to lower their heads and pledge loyalty to the 'Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars' flag of the Federation, they would be able to stay in the Uranian Ring Sector and even have a chance to become a citizen of the Federation.
