Chapter 503 Luofeng Declaration of Independence! [Big Cup]
This is a video that has gone viral in the human civilization world of the Milky Way.
The video content is not long, only six minutes;
But the content presented inside has become an incomparable super-charged bomb in the fields of public opinion, thought, culture and other fields.
At the beginning of the video, in a square surrounded by flowers, the protagonist of this video - His Majesty Emperor Edwang of the Luofeng Empire, who was dressed up to attend his enthronement ceremony, waved to the densely packed crowd in the square.
Some text labels appeared in the video, explaining who these courtiers of the Luofeng Empire were.
Adwang's label is gold, and Yang Ming's label is silver, which is particularly eye-catching.
The scene switched to the reception after the emperor's succession ceremony. Edwan lowered his head and walked into the somewhat dark passage. His back looked so heavy.
The scene switches again, this is the scene shot from Yang Ming's perspective.
"We can't have a second chance, Ming. We can't be too anxious. We must think carefully about every step."
Edwan took off his formal clothes, wore loose pajamas, and held a bottle of wine in his hand. He had a sad face as he had just succeeded to the throne.
"The Sherman Empire was too powerful.
“Our Luofeng is too small.
"I even, even think that my father is right. I was also in this room when I told him that we, Luofeng, must move toward democracy and independence. We can no longer let the Sherman Empire continue to suck blood. Our fifth
The administrative planet has become an extremely poor planet, and the blood they shed has become the wine in the wine glasses of the Sherman Empire nobles.
"We have to change those treaties."
Yang Ming's voiceover sounded: "What then?"
"I was scolded by my father and then kicked out of the palace and lived outside for more than ten years."
Adwang sighed and walked slowly to the window:
"I don't see real hope yet, Ming, can we succeed?"
"It's possible, Adwang. If it doesn't work in five years, then it will be ten years. If it doesn't work in ten years, it will be one hundred years."
"Yes, we can fight for a hundred years," Edwang puffed up his chest, "I must lead Luofeng to the path of independence. I must let Luofeng's imperial power and aristocracy disappear before I abdicate.
Instead of being a dependent of a powerful country, I will protect my people, Ming, will you help me?"
"You can definitely do it."
Amid Ming's words, the screen darkened.
There was a desk lamp flickering in the darkness. Behind Edwan's figure working at his desk, the clock was constantly turning, and consecutive dates appeared in the lower left corner.
This is not a special effect or artificially produced CG image, it is just a silhouette of day and night condensed into more than ten seconds.
Light appeared in the dark corner.
Luofeng's economic index continues to rise, and Luofeng's army has completed reforms and preparations.
The scene changed, and Edwang was talking about the idea of the Fallen Wind Alliance with great excitement. As the audience, Yang Ming and Emilia in their teenage years just kept thinking.
"Yes! Ming, you are right!
"Let the small countries that are bullied by the big countries unite! If we treat these small countries with fairness and equality, we will definitely achieve certain results!
"We still need to help these small countries technologically and economically...but will the New Federation become an obstacle to us? They are plundering the social wealth of these small countries in their markets."
"Are we still afraid of offending the New Federation? They are already mortal enemies," Yang Ming said with a smile, "But we can communicate with them when necessary. Our current goal is to free Luofeng from the Sherman Empire's continuous blood-sucking."
"Oh, I can't bear to exchange pleasantries with these hypocritical new federal politicians."
Adwang looked disgusted, then laughed:
"However, this is what a leader should do. This is my responsibility and I will take care of it."
Screen switching, it’s another day and night work.
Visits, research, and continuous meetings, the scene is fixed in a meeting with a fierce argument.
"The aristocratic system of the Luofeng Empire must be substantially abolished!"
A rare look of anger appeared on Edwang's tired face:
"Did the fallen nobles contribute to scientific and technological breakthroughs, or did they improve people's livelihood? Their property is constantly transferred outwards, and they have become blood-sucking insects on the people!
“If economic means cannot move them, then use military means to enforce it!
"Luofeng doesn't need nobles. What Luofeng needs are capable talents! Our official service assessment is not open to any nobles, not even those with a background in the Sherman Empire!"
The scene switches to a press conference where Luofeng announces that the aristocracy will no longer participate in politics.
The scene returned to Adwang's office in the palace.
Working day and night, the stagnant economy continues to rise.
Adwang has been in constant contact with the heads of the first batch of member states of the Luofeng Alliance;
A steady figure of a woman began to appear next to him. She was Edwang's girlfriend and was responsible for taking care of Edwang's life.
The emperor's life was frugal, because he had no time to enjoy life, so he gave all his time to the emperor's job.
In the emperor's palace late at night, Edwan turned off the remote conference and sat there tiredly, grinning silly.
"Tomorrow is Emilia's birthday," he murmured, "I need to spend some time with her."
"Your Majesty," his girlfriend walked over and hugged Edwan from behind, "it's time for me to sleep with you."
"I'm sorry," Edwang said with a smile, "I can't give you the title you deserve."
"I understand," the beautiful girlfriend said softly, "You don't want my family to become new nobles. We have reached a consensus on this a long time ago, right? It's just that, Edwan, I want a child, you
It's time to have a baby, we are in perfect health..."
"But... I'm sorry, I don't want any children."
"Why? Don't you like children? I can understand..."
"I quite like children."
Adwang sighed:
"But we have to look backward, in case, I mean just in case, our ideals really come to fruition, and our fall is stripped of the word empire, and we move towards a cabinet system or a democratic republic.
"It is very likely that my child will become a puppet kidnapped by the old forces in pursuit of restoration.
"I can't force my child to be an idealist, and I can't guarantee whether he will ruin our efforts for the sake of power.
"We have paid a lot of price, and the people have endured exploitation from hegemony for too long.
"A democratic country does not need inheritance... It is the best choice for me not to have children."
"I understand you," my girlfriend said with a smile, "I can accept it, I love you."
"I love you too."
The late night kiss gradually faded away;
All efforts are starting to go on the right track.
The Fallen Wind Alliance was established, and the Sherman Empire exerted crazy pressure. Edwan continued to suffer from insomnia, and he became haggard, but his eyes were still clear and firm.
The Sherman Empire was looking for an agent, and Luofeng fought two wars with the Nonal United Kingdom. The Luofeng Alliance began to rise rapidly.
Adwang was elected Chairman of the Alliance Council.
The Sherman Empire is strangulating the Luofeng economy in all aspects and actively looking for new agents, which is bound to interrupt the Luofeng Empire's legs when it is about to stand up.
The left and right split shots appeared on the screen.
Edwang lost control of his emotions due to the great pressure. He cleared the tabletop in front of him and sat in his chair, winking hard;
There was joy everywhere in the Fallen Wind Alliance, and people happily celebrated local festivals;
The ministers kept sighing, and some tentatively said some words of compromise, but Edwan just shook his head.
"We have come this far and there is no reason to retreat or give up.
"Now is the time when the people of Luofeng, the people of the Luofeng Alliance, are closest to being truly independent and free from bullying by foreign powers. We have made so many efforts, why should we give up?
"The empire wants to fight, then we will fight!
"Aren't we ready to bleed? If Luofeng doesn't go through a war, he won't be able to break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly. The prosperity we have created now is just false. If we can't hold on, everything will collapse.
.”
"But Your Majesty, we can hold on now, but what about three months from now? What about five months from now? The empire's national power will be crushing to us."
"Your Majesty, as far as the current situation is concerned, we are indeed unable to resist the pressure of the empire. The empire is too powerful, so powerful that it makes us desperate. Although they are currently on an expedition to the New Federation, they are only the resistance exerted by fringe forces on us. We will
It’s already unsustainable.”
"Your Majesty, if your Majesty allows me to die to solve the current problem, I am willing to die, but..."
"Everyone!"
Adwang stood up and slowly lowered his head towards the conference table.
"The future destiny of this country rests on everyone, but now that we are sitting in the position of decision-makers, we must shoulder this responsibility and resist this pressure.
"We will definitely see a turn for the better, and there must be a way to ease the empire's encirclement and suppression of us!
"Please believe me! Please give me a certain amount of time!"
Sigh.
The desperate eyes of the ministers.
There are still carefree people on the streets.
After the meeting, Adwang locked himself in the office, took a few bottles of wine, and then sat there staring at the wall in a daze.
He was thinking of a solution;
He will surely find a way;
he……
"Your Majesty," Guina's voiceover sounded, "The Sherman Empire may send a mission to us. After exerting extreme pressure, they should try to conquer us again."
Edwan sighed, stood up and walked to the sofa.
"I'll take a nap and ask Ming if he has any good ideas."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Screen transition.
"The Imperial formation will arrive in seventy minutes, and you just slept for less than fifty minutes.
"Should I inject you with a sleeping reagent? Pretend to be sick to avoid possible troubles in the empire this time."
"Ming, do you want me to have a good sleep?"
Adwang was stunned for a while while holding the sleeping reagent, returned to the room, and said a few words to his girlfriend.
"Something went wrong... The two fleets led by Gudunmaha to support the empire have been surrounded by elite fleets of the Imperial Expeditionary Force..."
"The fleets that support the empire are in turn divided and surrounded by the empire's elite fleets?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you heard it right. However, the ministers judged that the empire will not directly attack its vassal countries. This will destroy their credibility with the vassal countries. These are the exact words of General Yang Ming."
"This Lorna."
Adwang sneered, and he began to pace back and forth in the office, thinking about something.
The scene changes, the imperial mission is about to arrive, and Edwan is about to put on the patch with the sleeping reagent.
He stopped his assistant's movements, his Adam's apple trembling, and wanted to think for a few more minutes;
He asked the people around him what the empire could do to control Luo Feng. The Sherman Empire had laid so much groundwork, so there must be some plan. If he went, would he be replaced like his father?
"Your Majesty Edwan, you don't have to think too much."
"What about the fleet that Gudunmaha took away? There are 600,000 Luofeng soldiers on it, which is one-third of our weak military strength!"
quarrel, disagreement.
The assistant wanted to force Edwang to coma, but Edwang struggled violently, and finally yelled and threw the sleeping reagent aside.
The screen switched and Edwan left the palace and entered the Sherman Empire's ship.
He sat in front of Princess Lorna and rejected the contract handed over by Lorna;
He turned around and left, and a row of maids appeared in front, hitting him constantly and piercing his skin with tiny spikes.
Edwan's body trembled and he slowly fell down. The maids lowered their heads and disappeared into the corridor of the spacecraft.
He held on to the wall and walked forward little by little, but the background sound of the picture became the conversation between him and Yang Ming.
"What do you think? Edwan? I'm on my way to Gudunmaha."
"It's useless, Ming. We must avoid the stranglehold of the empire now. We don't have enough time, and the empire won't allow us to escape their control. The economy we have developed is just a piece of fat in their eyes. What can you do?
?”
"Adwan! Don't be too idealistic! What they are going to do now is what they did to your father back then!"
"That's our chance, Ming."
"Are you stupid? Do you know what they did to your father?"
"Replace, replace the omnic, and you have the means to contain this omnic, just like you did to my father, right Ming?"
Yang Ming was silent.
"This is the opportunity, Luofeng's only chance. Otherwise, no matter who becomes the emperor, the Sherman family can use the same means to control Luofeng."
"But, Edwan, this is unreasonable."
"There is nothing reasonable or unreasonable in politics. We have come all the way and are only two steps away from success."
Adwang's body could no longer support his walking.
The quarrel became gradually distant.
Adwan's voice kept shouting.
"If you respect me, then do what I want! I am the emperor..."
"Promise me that the future throne will be given to Emilia. I believe that Emilia will be better than me. She will perfectly replace my role and continue our career. And, and..."
Adwang held on to the bulkhead of the cabin and slowly slid down. He sat there and looked at the light source of the ship.
"Promise me that the Luofeng Alliance must abide by the three principles we have set. The Luofeng people will usher in a new era of democracy, freedom, rule of law, fairness and independence..."
"Promise me, Ming."
"Revolution must make sacrifices, and the first person to sacrifice should be the emperor of this country."
Yang Ming's voice was hoarse: "I promise."
"Thanks."
Organs are failing rapidly, and vision is slowly blurring.
Edwan suddenly laughed.
He closed his eyes and sat helplessly in the cabin, a strand of hair slowly falling off.
The background sound turned into a harsh 'ding' sound, and the screen gradually faded into darkness.
"Tell me...forget it, I'm not qualified to love her."
The video ends.
Throughout the Luofeng Empire, the entire Luofeng Alliance, wherever there was a screen, people stood and sat there blankly, staring at the darkening picture in front of them.
The planet Elendor became so quiet;
The deep starry sky seemed to be filled with only background noise;
Human civilization in the galaxy spreads this story.
Luofeng Empire Palace, corner of the bedroom.
Emilia knelt on the ground, and despite the consolation of several female ministers, she still cried uncontrollably.
Yang Ming walked up to Emilia and whispered: "Five minutes, adjust your mood."
Emilia seemed not to have heard, still burying her head and crying.
Yang Ming sighed secretly in his heart.
He shouldn't be here, playing this video edited by Law to the ministers, generals, and Emilia.
Yang Ming adjusted his military uniform and raised his hand to make a gesture.
The door to the dormitory opened, and two rows of guards in costumes lined up forward at the same time. Two sets of floating balls appeared in front of and behind the desk in the dormitory.
Broadcasting on all channels throughout the Luofeng Alliance has officially begun.
The picture that appeared on the broadcast was this empty desk and the ministers standing around it.
The whole place was silent.
Footsteps sounded, and Yang Ming, dressed in Luofeng military uniform and carrying the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders, appeared in the center of the screen, standing in front of the desk.
He was silent and just stared at the camera.
And this silence seemed to catch up with all the people in the Luofeng Alliance who were watching the live broadcast.
"Yes! We have known for a long time the evil plan implemented by the Sherman Empire."
Yang Ming raised his chest and raised his head, his voice seemed to be roaring:
"His Majesty Edwan's father has been controlled by the Sherman Empire using omnics for nearly ten years!
"In the past ten years, the Luofeng Empire has been deeply exploited by the Sherman Empire! The annual silver we paid has continued to increase! The industrial chain we have worked hard to build has been easily taken away by the empire. All technologies must use imperial patents, and the social wealth has been seriously damaged.
The exodus has caused extremely serious poverty in the fifth administrative star of the Luofeng Empire! We even have extremely ridiculous incidents of poor people starving to death!
“When I first arrived in Luofeng, these pictures I saw shocked me extremely!
"Is this the interstellar era? Is this the sanctuary country of the Sherman Empire, which is known as the happiest in the galaxy?
"This is the consequences of Sherman's plan to replace the emperor!"
He sighed softly, his expression gradually becoming serious:
"When I met His Majesty Edwan, he was just a marginalized second prince. Why was he marginalized? Because he tried to fight and was abandoned by the previous emperor who had not yet been replaced.
"The previous emperor before he was replaced once thought about how to get rid of the control of the Sherman Empire and how to feed the billions of people. But in the end, he was unable to change anything and could only abandon it.
A son who looks so much like me when I was young.
"At that time, despair gripped the country.
"Edwin was living in a dream. He didn't know how to save his people, and he didn't know how to win the war against the Sherman Empire.
"But we are always lucky, Edwan did not give up completely.
"After being kicked out of the palace, His Highness the Second Prince showed outstanding economic acumen. He began to establish economic organizations. He continued to invest in the Sherman Empire, the New Federation and other places, trying to increase Luofeng's influence on these two giants.
The influence of the hegemonic regime.
"Even if it only increases a very weak influence.
"He kept looking for ways and paths to save the country, and his disappointments accumulated again and again into despair, but despair did not overwhelm him, and nothing could overwhelm him!
"Then I became his general.
"Then, we seized the throne of Luofeng Empire, because only in this way can we find the only way to make Luofeng independent.
"Edwan has always blamed himself for this incident, and I have always felt that Edwan did not know that his father was replaced by the Sherman Empire.
"You should have seen what happened next in the video... The video was recorded by me and with Adwan's consent.
“From having no road to finding a way out.
"From no opportunity to now, the opportunity is right in front of us. We, our officials and generals, have sacrificed a lot. The people have sacrificed their hard work and their trust in the failed regime. Edwang has sacrificed everything he had."
"His everything!"
Yang Ming's eyes were a little red, but he forced himself to endure it.
Soldiers don't need to choke.
"Now!
"The Fallen Wind Alliance has become an important alliance political system in the galaxy!
"Now!
"We already have the military strength to protect the Luofeng Empire and the Luofeng Alliance!
"Now!
"The Sherman Empire's evil plan has been exposed! The Sherman Empire's plot to survive its internal crisis by harvesting its vassal states has been completely bankrupt!
"So far, seven subject countries have declared independence! The angry people of the subject countries are denouncing the evil actions of the Sherman Empire! The democratic camp and the freedom camp in the galaxy have severely condemned the Sherman Empire!
"The development time that Adwang bought with his life has made us fully prepared to face the storm!"
Behind Yang Ming, two old men appeared on camera at the same time.
Guton Mahar on the left, Leon Dabiqi on the right.
Yang Ming inhaled sharply:
"Soldiers of the Luofeng Empire!
"Isn't His Majesty Edwan's tragic death not enough to make you angry?
"Soldiers of the Luofeng Alliance!
"Now we are a community with intertwined destinies! Whether the era in which each member state is exploited by the great powers is far away from us or will continue to come depends entirely on the follow-up war!
"We must show our ships and cannons to any invading enemy!
"Luofeng is not afraid of any threats!
"Luofeng will definitely demand justice from the Sherman Empire!
"In the name of the Chairman of the Luofeng Alliance Military Committee, I order the entire Luofeng Alliance to prepare for war! The Luofeng Empire's elite fleet must assemble immediately! The Luofeng Alliance initiates a wartime management agreement!"
Behind Yang Ming, Goodun Mahar and Leon Dabic saluted at the same time.
In the picture that the public watched, all the generals of the Luofeng Alliance appeared simultaneously in various places on the screen and saluted at the same time.
That roar of "yes" in unison shook everyone's nerves.
Yang Ming waited for more than ten seconds, gave a military salute to the camera, turned around and stepped aside.
Gudun Maha saluted forward.
He said in a deep voice:
"The Luofeng Empire has experienced such a huge change, and we are extremely sad.
"At this moment, we are facing many challenges. The Sherman Empire will definitely exert extreme pressure on us and cannot rule out the possibility of sending a large number of fleets to deal with us.
"We cannot rest or we will not be able to breathe.
"We must go all out, or we will become cosmic dust under the gun barrel of the Sherman Imperial Dreadnought.
“We must follow His Majesty Edwan’s will!
"In the name of the Supreme Commander of the Luofeng Empire, I declare that the Luofeng Empire's army will swear allegiance to His Majesty Edwan's successor, His Highness Emilia!"
Gudun Maha salutes and retreats.
The Prime Minister and the First Minister of Foreign Affairs stepped forward simultaneously and bowed to the camera.
"The Luofeng Empire's Central Government Office pledges allegiance to His Majesty Edwan's successor, His Highness Emilia!"
"The Diplomatic Office of the Luofeng Empire, together with the Luofeng Empire's ambassadors to various countries, swear allegiance to His Majesty Edwan's successor, His Highness Emilia!"
Yang Ming performed a military salute and appeared in the center of the camera again:
After Yang Ming finished speaking, he turned to look at the corner.
The perspective slowly rotates.
Emilia bit her lip and stood up, wiping away the tears on her face and raising her hands to tie up her messy long hair.
She pursed her lips, and under her moist eyes, she revealed an unwavering gaze, a belief that would never dim!
Lift up your skirt and move forward quickly.
Emilia stood in front of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming shouted: "Salute!"
Whoosh!
The generals and officers present, the officers of the Luofeng Alliance who participated remotely, and the figures in military uniforms in every corner of the ships of the Luofeng Alliance, as well as the retired soldiers standing in front of the broadcast, saluted simultaneously.
Officials from various places present bowed to Emilia at the same time.
Emilia nodded slightly to Yang Ming, then turned to look at the camera and stood in front of Yang Ming.
On her long, snow-white neck, her head was slightly raised.
People were waiting for her words, but when she spoke, her voice was hoarse.
"Today...I'm sorry."
Emilia looked aside, Edwan's girlfriend understood, and immediately ran to bring a glass of water.
Emilia took two sips of water, then breathed out softly and said loudly:
"I declare that from today on, the Luofeng Empire will be renamed the Luofeng Democratic Republic. It will no longer recognize the Sherman Empire's "Suzerainty Treaty" and will no longer have any degree of political binding with the Sherman Empire.
“All natives of the Luofeng Empire will automatically obtain citizenship of the Luofeng Democratic Republic!
"The original political system and economic system of the Luofeng Empire remain unchanged, the qualifications and property rights patents of each enterprise are fully valid, and the laws of the Luofeng Empire remain unchanged for the time being!
"The Luofeng Democratic Republic will uphold the principles of democracy, equality, freedom, and the rule of law, and strive to become a shining star in human civilization in the galaxy.
"The Luofeng Democratic Republic will automatically inherit all the rights and obligations of the Luofeng Empire within the Luofeng Alliance.
"As Emperor Luofeng, I automatically become the first president of the Luofeng Democratic Republic and the chairman of the Luofeng Alliance Council."
After saying that, Emilia exhaled softly, lowered her head and was silent for a few seconds, then raised her head and looked forward.
"People of the Luofeng Alliance, we don't have much time to condemn and mourn.
"The powerful fleet of the Sherman Empire is already on its way to invade us.
"Our Luofeng Alliance is a peace-loving force and a closely united political system. We will always uphold the principles of democracy and freedom.
"The next battle is a battle of fate for our Luofeng Alliance, and a battle of life and death for our Luofeng Democratic Republic!
"Soldiers of the Luofeng Alliance!
"Let the shameless invaders feel your anger!
"People of the Luofeng Alliance!
“Before I fall, no one can plunder your wealth, invade your freedom, or destroy your home!
"I will stand with all the people!
"I will do whatever it takes to protect our common ideals!
"Fight!
"People oppressed by empires and powers!
"Fight!
"For the future of our descendants!
"For us to live with dignity!
"I, Emilia Luofeng, swear on the honor of my brother that I will fight for this in my life!"
