2235 、 Five-Star Alliance (1)
Gamm-Bell Iblis continued in his deep voice, "A hundred thousand years. We do not know the purpose of the Turut Tribe in building the Midway Station, but we do know that they have left us a brilliant legacy. A hundred thousand years, the Kilik people collapsed, the Limitless Empire declined, the Hutt Empire fell apart, the Sith Empire was defeated … A hundred thousand years, the human civilization, the civilization of the Galactic Republic, started from us. A hundred thousand years, so that we, the hardworking, brave, and romantic Corellians, could stand tall on this land! "
He opened his arms and looked at everyone around him. "Gentlemen, we have received the legacy of a great race. The Corellian Five-Star Alliance has made us a unique and unique civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy. For thousands of years, our people have lived up to the blessings of this legacy. We completed industrialization, we left the planet, and we moved into the universe. Corellian explorers have traveled to every corner of the Milky Way Galaxy, Corellian merchants have brought our products to the entire Milky Way Galaxy, and Corellian spaceships have soared to every planet in the Milky Way Galaxy!
"Some people say that if not for Corellian's unique conditions, we would not have been able to achieve what we have today. But I have to say, it is because of our hard work, our bravery, that this legacy has not been covered in dust. We should be proud of it, and the Turut Tribe should be proud of us too! Here, I want to say that we, Corellian, are the starting point of the Galactic Republic civilization! We are great! " After saying that, Senator Iblis looked around again. Everyone's breathing became heavier. They were all infected by these provocative words.
Then, Iblis waved his hand, and a panoramic star map appeared in the middle of the conference room. The location of the Corellian Star System was highlighted on it. Then, the star map began to change. The territory of the old Republic, including the core area of Corellian, could be seen radiating out bit by bit. Then, several wars broke out, and finally, a huge regime that covered the entire Milky Way Galaxy was established.
"With our support, the Republic has come a long way. We have defeated the Limitless Empire, defeated the Hutt Empire, and defeated the Sith Empire twice! For the Republic, we have racked our brains and used the wealth and products we have created to serve the Republic! All we want is a peaceful and stable environment! Let us think, let us develop, let us study! But the Republic has disappointed us … "
"Since a long time ago, the Republic has taken it for granted that we should provide aid to those backward galaxies! They took a huge sum of money from us in name to support the backward Star Systems, but we all know that only one-tenth of this money can really be sent to the people who deserve it! How many high-ranking officials and tycoons on Coruscant have been born in our hands? Every time we're praised by the assisting galaxies, it's the Republic who's trying to gain face. But every time we're blamed for our failure in providing support, it's us who's being pushed to the front! "
"How did the separatism start? Putting aside all those high-sounding words, the emergence of separatism was caused by the Republic! If our aid is in place, if our goods don't have to have so many tariffs deducted, the number of star systems in the Federation of Independent Star Systems will be reduced by at least half! But now, war has broken out, and the Republic is once again making us the scapegoat! They want us to sell our goods to them at cost price!! They want us to work for the Republic for free! "Iblis complained indignantly.
Then, the star map in the middle suddenly turned into an enlarged image of the midpoint station. Iblis said, "So, after enduring for so long, we've completely understood one thing. Fate must be in our own hands. We Corellians love exploration, love trade, and love peace, but that doesn't mean we need to bend our knees without a bottom line! Ten thousand years ago, our ancestors believed in the promise of the Republic and gave everything to the Republic. But now, the Republic is getting further and further away from their original path! So, it's time for us Corellians to make our voices heard! "
"What we want is simple. Fairness and justice. But we didn't get this simple request! Then, let's use our own method … "Iblis finished and took a deep breath." Well then, gentlemen, let's vote. This is the most crucial moment for our Corellian Star System. Whether we go left or right, the results will be completely different. Maybe we will become the enemies of the entire Milky Way Galaxy and be destroyed. Maybe we will truly reclaim our rights and become an existence that can truly influence the Milky Way Galaxy! "
None of the people present moved. They were still waiting, not wanting to be the first to stand out. Iblis looked around and raised his hand. Beside him, Senator Hilary Merrickop also raised her hand. But those with real power and authority did not move. This decision was too heavy. No matter how much Iblis talked about it, no matter how much the Republic had wronged Corellia, these people present were still groups with vested interests. It was difficult for them to make the decision to take this gamble.
No matter how much they had said before, when it was time to actually vote, everyone fell into deep thought.
Iblis looked around, his face a little gloomy. He was a very staunch isolationist. At the beginning of the war, he had wanted the Corellian Star System to stay out of the war and maintain neutrality. But under Palpatine's strong suppression, he was still dragged into the war. And after discovering the true function of the midpoint station, he was also the most determined to use this device to seek independence.
His gaze fell on Chen Gang, but he found that Chen Gang was just standing there calmly, his expression relaxed, and had no intention of voting. Iblis secretly snorted coldly and suddenly said, "Mr. Chen Gang, because of your great contribution in discovering the true function of the midpoint station, you have officially become one of the higher-ups of the Corellian Star System. But we all know that you are still inextricably linked to the Independent Star System Confederation. So, regarding this matter, how will the Confederation react? "
Chen Gang smiled. He looked around and said in a loud voice, "The Independent Star System Confederation will guarantee to support the independence of the Corellian Star System and will immediately recognize the legitimacy of the Corellian Star System's regime. At the same time, the Confederation will also be the first to open trade with the Corellian Star System's regime."
Grand Duke Delar sneered and said, "Your words do not count."
"The President of Planet Guardian, Tang Yu, and the leader of the Independent Star System Confederation, Count Dooku, can both prove this. If you are not worried about complicating things, you can contact them now, "Chen Gang said.
"In other words, you admit that you are a spy of the Independent Star System Confederation?" The leader of the Superior Acupoints questioned.
"I am not afraid to tell you, but a few months ago, Count Dooku was still Palpatine's staunchest ally." Chen Gang directly dropped a bombshell.
"What are you talking about?" One of the Delar of the Sacoria Triumvirate exclaimed. Everyone in the conference room stared at Chen Gang in shock.
Count Dooku was Palpatine's ally a few months ago?? In such an occasion, Chen Gang could not have used the wrong words, which meant that he was trying to express the literal meaning. A few months ago? A few months ago, the Republic and the Confederation were fighting to the death, and now the supreme leaders of both sides were allies?!
Chen Gang smiled and said, "Is it hard to believe? Hehe. Palpatine wanted to be the Emperor of the Galaxy, so he asked Count Dooku for help. They came up with a shocking plan and fooled everyone in the Galaxy. As for why this happened, it is because Palpatine's true identity is a Sith Lord, called Darth Sidious, and Count Dooku is his disciple. "
"Then why did Count Dooku break with Palpatine?" One of the Sacoria Triumvirate asked.
"Because Palpatine only wants to be Emperor. The answer is that simple. That is why I came to you and gave you this gift. Because this gift will help the Confederation to truly foil Palpatine's plot. At the same time, this gift is equally important to you. " Chen Gang seemed to be in a good mood. His expression was a stark contrast to the solemn expressions of the people around him.
He then added, "As a spy, I only have one mission: to separate the Corellian system from the Republic. And in the process of completing this mission, I will receive something. That is my reward. It seems that I have already received this reward and can retire. "
"Hehe!" Grand Duke Delar sneered and said, "He may also sit in prison until he retires!"
Chen Gang stretched out his hands and said, "In this matter, if I do anything to harm the Corellian system, you are welcome to send me to prison. I will not resist."
Shi Mingdong adjusted his glasses behind him and snickered in his heart. It would be strange if he did not resist! Their personal spaces were filled with T-X Terminators and T-1000 Terminators, as well as a few nuclear bombs. If the higher-ups of Corellian wanted to hand over the midpoint to the Republic, then they would simply release the Terminator army and occupy the entire midpoint. If the Terminators still could not win, then they would detonate the nuclear bombs! Let's see who would hate them!
"Enough! We already knew about Chen Gang's background, but his actions were honorable. Otherwise, we would not have directly appointed him as the hereditary Count of Corellian, right? That's enough. I support Corellian independence. "After saying that, Duke Thelonia raised his hand to show that he agreed to this issue.
With the guarantee of the Independent Star Confederation, and the shocking secrets about Palpatine, the people present lost their last hope for the Republic, so they all raised their hands in agreement.
Duke Delar also raised his hand without hesitation. He looked at Chen Gang and snorted coldly. "I am definitely on Corellian's side. It's just that I don't trust this person."
The three heads of Sacoria saw that everyone present had raised their hands in agreement, so they also raised their hands to seal this decision that shook the entire galaxy.
"Unanimous!" A gratified smile appeared on Senator Iblis' face. He said loudly, "Then I hereby announce the establishment of the Five-Star Alliance! We will become independent from the Galactic Republic and remain neutral in any war or dispute! From today onwards, there will be no difference between humans, Delar, and Selonians! Our only title will be Corellians! "
"For the Five-Star Alliance!"
"For the Corellians!" Everyone present swore loudly.
Iblis pressed the remote control, and all he saw was a holographic projection of a gigantic blue flag covering the entire conference room. This flag had a blue background, with five planets and their orbits drawn in white, corresponding to the five habitable planets in the Corellian Star System. This would be the flag of the Five-Star Alliance. Then he said to Chen Gang, "According to our previous agreement, in view of His Excellency Chen Gang's outstanding contribution to the development of the midpoint station, now, please press this button and activate the midpoint station!"
As he said that, a small platform rose from the center. On it was a red, spherical button the size of a palm.
Without hesitation, Chen Gang came to the center of the conference room and bowed deeply to everyone around him. "This is the greatest honor of my life!" It was a great honor to complete this great cause, to separate the Corellian Star System from the Galactic Republic, to protect the planet, and to lay a solid foundation for the final victory of the Lanxiang Team!
With that thought in his mind, he placed his hand on the button and pressed it lightly.
Buzz ~ ~ ~ ~ Everyone felt everything around them start to vibrate slightly. All the equipment on the midpoint station began to operate! Everyone in the conference room had a look of surprise on their faces. It should be known that no matter what they did before, the midpoint station could not be activated. At most, only a part of the life support system in the middle could be used. But now, this gigantic thing was actually activated!
Chen Gang and Shi Mingdong were also extremely excited. It should be known that the size of the midpoint station was equivalent to three Death Stars! In other words, they were witnessing the activation of the largest weapon in the history of the Milky Way, and possibly in the next 50 years!
A call from the control center came from the communicator. "Planet Corellian, normal!"
"Planet Theronia, normal!"
"Planet Tallus, normal!"
"Planet Tralus, normal!"
"Planet Delar … normal!"
"Reporting, sir! This is Colonel Girard Pellaire! The midpoint station has been completely activated, and is operating normally! "A deep voice came from the communicator.
Hearing this name, Chen Gang and Shi Mingdong were slightly moved. They did not expect the commander of the midpoint station to be Girard Pellaire! However, they were only slightly surprised. At this time, this famous legendary general in Star Wars was only a young officer in his early thirties with outstanding talent!
Senator Gamm-Bell-Iblis stepped forward and said proudly, "Well done, Colonel Pellaire. Now, as the first executive officer of the Five Star Alliance, I order you to activate the Obstruction Field through the midpoint station and cut off any hyperspace jumps from the Corellian Star System! "
"Understood, activate the Obstruction Field! Long live the Five Star Alliance! " Colonel Pellaire replied loudly. He had an outstanding trait, and that was unparalleled loyalty.
