Chapter 71 Berwick Republic
"Lao Liang, are you kidding?" Yunyi smiled. It was not until half a day later that he was sure that Mr. Liang was not joking. His smile gradually disappeared, and Yunyi stared at him: "Mr. Liang, you should believe me. It was the Restoration Army that saved me and gave me a second life. All I did was for Her Majesty's last wish, not greedy for anything.
"What's more, Xiyue is only 14 years old..."
"Fifteen years old!" Mr. Liang pointed out his mistake: "Her Royal Highness's birthday is January 5, born in 5229, and this year is 5244. Age is not a problem. You can get engaged first and wait until the destruction of Iseras and the reconstruction of the Zhao and Song Empire before getting married.
"I already have a fiancee, you know that."
"Alas..." Liang Lao sighed deeply. He knew very well that Yun Yi had paid too much to the Restoration Army. Whether it was economic or military, with his participation, the strength of the Restoration Army had increased several times. What's more, all this, dozens of planets that are about to return to the National Army, are all under his plan.
If he is really willing to pay all this for the Zhao and Song Empire, that's all.
What Lao Liang is worried about is that if Yunyi is not for the Zhao and Song Empire, but for himself, or for the Chu and Tang Empire, he will treat the human, financial and strength of the resistance as his assistant, and then gradually swallow it up and turn it into his own strength. In that case, no matter how much the Chinese army pays, it will be captured by him.
The only solution is to let Yunyi and Zhao Xiyue get married.
In this way, their children will inherit this great country and become the new Zhao and Song emperor or queen.
"There is no monogamy system in the Zhao and Song Empire."
Yunyi was slightly stunned and suddenly smiled. Looking at Liang Lao, he said slowly, "So, are you going to let Marshal Chu Tang's granddaughter be my wife, or do you plan to let Her Royal Highness be my wife?"
"This..." Liang Lao was speechy for a moment.
Lin Moxue is the granddaughter of Lin Jiaoyang, and Lin Jiaoyang is the most powerful nobleman in the Chu and Tang Empire besides His Majesty the Emperor. If his granddaughter does not become his wife, it will make him the laughing stock of the whole southern universe. Lin Jiaoyang will never agree with this kind of thing. If Yunyi really dares to do so, then the burial will be all of their reinstate army.
But what about Zhao Xiyue? As the spiritual leader of the Restoration Army, she will definitely become the queen of the whole country after the founding of the country. If Her Majesty does not become the wife, how many people in the whole army can agree? Let the Empress of a country become the concubine of others. I'm afraid that without the establishment of the Zhao and Song Empire, the country will become the object of ridicule by other countries.
Yun Yi knew that Mr. Liang understood the key, and he also thought of the reason why Mr. Liang asked him to marry Zhao Xiyue.
"To say something disrespectful, Mr. Liang, over the years, I have always regarded Her Royal Highness as my sister. It is my responsibility to take care of her, and it is also my responsibility to restore the country of Zhao Song. I understand that you are worried about me, but I have a clear conscience. All this is that I am repaying Zhao Song for saving me and raising me. So, you don't have to talk about it anymore..."
Saying this, Yun Yi looked at him and smiled: "If I really have that idea, do you think the human and material resources of the Restoration Army are comparable to Marshal Chu Tang?"
Lao Liang suddenly understood that Lin Jiaoyang's fleet was countless and rich. He didn't even need to do anything to deal with Zhao Song. With just one look, countless countries in the southwest were scrambling to serve him.
"Ha ha, it's my old man who thinks too much. Lord Yun, please forgive me."
Yun Yi smiled and said, "That's all for this matter. I hope Mr. Liang will focus more on national construction."
Turning off the communicator, Yunyi took a long breath. Somehow, Zhao Xiyue's figure seemed to appear in front of him. The graceful song echoed, and the grand concert seemed to be still yesterday.
"I haven't seen you for half a year... I don't know how the little girl is doing."
......
After receiving funds and the guarantee of Yunyi, Dravis quickly dealt with the two commanders of the 11th Fleet and the 16th Fleet. Under the monetary offensive, the vast majority of the top of the fleet fell to the side of the Restoration Army. They were well aware of the current situation of the Federation, especially the declaration of independence by Wilhem and Otto. After Marshal Werner imposed military control over the Federation, they knew that the current Federation was no longer the federation in their memory. In this chaotic situation, only strong force is the condition for survival.
Compared with Wilhem's Second Fleet and Otto's Sixth Fleet, the 20th Fleet and the 21st Fleet are not comparable to them in terms of quantity or quality. Especially when several battles took place, one of the three fleets led by Dreves fought side by side with the 20th and 21st fleets, and their combat effectiveness was very clear.
Compared with the two, relying on them is undoubtedly the best choice!
Of course, there are also some officers who are still colluding with the Federation or other forces and are unwilling to defect. For these people, Dravis did not catch them all, but collectively sent them to Berwick Star for house arrest.
In the following days, they may surrender one by one, and may have to wait until the end of the war before sending them back to their hometown.
The last difficulty has been solved.
Now the control of 45 planets are controlled by the Restoration Army, and the fleets controlled are the 3rd Fleet, 11th Fleet, 16th Fleet, 20th Fleet and 21st Fleet, as well as the 1st Fleet of the Restoration Army, with a total of more than 70,000 warships, the most powerful among the split forces of several Lichma Federation. One.
Everything was ready. At that time, the pointer pointed to midnight on June 1, and a notice was sent from Berwick, following the network all over the universe in all directions.
United States of Kurika.
"Berrick Star has also declared independence? Who is the leader?"
"Mr. Hui, Mr. President, is the five commanders of the former 3rd, 11th, 16th, 20th and 21st Fleets of the Federation."
"20 and 21 Fleets?" Wilhem, the first president of the United States of America, looked a little ugly and said to himself, "I didn't expect them to intervene. No, Chu Tang's power is too great for me to deal with. Come on, prepare a spaceship for me... No, I can't leave here yet. Forget it, let the Minister of Foreign Affairs come to me.
Kingdom of Alto.
When the new King Otto urged the construction of his own palace, he received this newsletter and also saw the name above. After a long silence, he said slowly, "Stop the construction of the second phase of the palace and order another 30,000 warships from Iseras and Mayland to focus on the defense of the eastern region."
Liberal Democratic Republic of Malosena.
The first President Hodson is dealing with official business, and the newly established country is becoming more and more stable under his control, but the lack of a fleet has made the young politician anxious. There are only a few small and medium-sized shipyards in the area ruled by Malosena. It's okay to make some parts and repair warships, but it's impossible to build warships. Moreover, Malosena does not have particularly good diplomatic relations with several surrounding countries, and can only secretly buy warships at high prices from smugglers from the Kingdom of Camp or the Kingdom of Keira.
When receiving the communication, Hodson was about to go to bed, and his wife found that her husband didn't know what she had seen. Suddenly, she jumped down from ** and ran to the office excitedly in her pajamas.
A few hours later, the young president, with several government officials, quietly left the capital Malosena and flew towards Berwick.
The Lichma Federation.
After several days of riots, the capital Morning Star finally calmed down under the military suppression led by Werner. But the consequences were extremely serious. Many officials and parliamentarians of the former federal government were killed, and rich chaebols fled, leaving only a dilapidated capital star.
Fortunately, Werner immediately let the army take over the Federal First Shipyard and Heavy Industries Corporation. In this way, the overall manufacturing of weapons and equipment has been retained and can continue to export warships to the Federation.
Just a few days later, Werner painfully found that with the withdrawal of those chaebols, he now wants to buy mineral raw materials to make warships and mecha, all of which he wants.
Now, the area he controls is only about one-sixth of the peak of the federal era. Mineral resources in this area are barren. Although heavy industry, finance and technology manufacturing are developed, it is difficult to hide the lack of mineral raw materials.
Moreover, each of the neighboring countries is coveting the territory of the federation, and the notice issued by Werner as soon as he came to power to ask those countries to return the occupied planets has made these countries put the federation under his leadership on the opposite side, and it is impossible to export mineral raw materials to the federal government.
After hearing Berwick's declaration of independence, Werner felt angry for the first time and couldn't wait to drive the warship to destroy these guys. But soon, he calmed down, and his political career in the past few days has given the veteran a trace of political awareness.
20 Fleet, 21st Fleet? Does Chu Tang also want to get a piece of the federal pie? Werner said to himself and kept thinking about it.
"That's all, just take it as a gift for Chu Tang. As long as you can get the support of Chu Tang, you can make the Federation rise again! It's also right to pay some..." Thinking of this, Werner immediately called the secretary and drafted a document declaring that the Federation supported the autonomy of the Berwick Star government.
With the spread of this notice, the three vassal states of the Chutang Empire, the Kingdom of Kemp, the Kingdom of Keira and the Kingdom of Xiaochen, took the lead in releasing their support for the Berwick government and generously returned the federal planet occupied by their countries to the Berwick government. Diplomatic relations have been established with the country.
It was followed by the Lichma Federation, which was controlled by Marshal Werner, as well as the Malosena and the United States of Curica, which split from the Commonwealth, all expressed their support for the independence of the Berika government. The federal government's agreement to autonomy in the Belika region is shocking. From the beginning, neither the planet occupied by other countries nor the independent Kingdom of Curika and Otto have been approved by the Federation. In fact, although the actual control of these areas has been replaced, in the eyes of most countries, they still belong to the Federation...
Warlord!
Yes, it is the warlords who control an area by force.
But the Berwick government is different. It is an autonomous territory with the consent of the federal government, just like the former Rhodesian Dominion, a completely independent country.
In addition to these countries and regions, Iselas and Meyneland, as well as the Kingdom of Otto, did not express any opinion on this. Other countries in the northwest, more or less know some of the inside stories, have issued by supporting the independence of the Berwick government and sent diplomatic envoys to the Berwick government. The Papal State of St. Carnia also sent a vice-bishop and two cardinals second only to the archbishop to the Berwick government to crown its president, but the Berwick government refused.
Yunyi knows the power of those religious lunatics and won't let them preach within their sphere of influence.
10 a.m. on June 1st, Berwick.
In the attention of the public, Liang Zecheng stood on the rostrum of the open square and recited the Declaration of Independence loudly. This move represents the Berwick government, which has finally been established!
After discussing with several leaders, Yunyi decided to name the newly established country the Beric Republic. Nominally, it is a presidential country under the people's democratic dictatorship, but in fact, it is a relatively complex pseudo-constitutional monarchy.
The supreme leader of the country is the president, with Liang Zecheng.
Premier Huang Zhengong, once a senior official of the Zhao and Song Empire, has been exiled in the Lichma Federation after the destruction of Zhao and Song, and later joined the resistance army and was one of his leaders.
*Chief and imperial marshal Qi Daoxue is also the commander of the First Fleet.
Commander of the Second Fleet: Dravis Level 1*.
The commander of the Third Fleet and the Fourth Fleet is the former commander of the 11th Fleet and 12th Fleet.
Commander of the Fifth Fleet: Lin Yiqing Level 1*.
Commander of the Sixth Fleet: Yang Tiexin Level 1*.
......
As for Yunyi, he did not hold any position in Berwick's government, which was his own request. He didn't want to shackle himself in this small world, and he had more things to deal with.
But if someone thinks that Yunyi has left the core of the government, it is a big mistake.
Everyone at the top of the government knows that although this is the case on the surface, it is actually the internal system of the Restoration Army that controls the country. In this system, Yunyi served as the vice chairman of the National Restoration Committee. Before Zhao Xiyue officially took office, he, Liang Zecheng and Qi Daoxue were the actual controllers of the country. It's just Yunyi's contribution and prestige in the committee, and no committee stands opposite to him. Even Liang Zecheng and Qi Daoxue are both forward-looking.
Any policy of the country cannot be decided by the President and the Prime Minister, but by the Restoration Council.
As the vice chairman of the committee, Yunyi's power can almost be said to be the actual controller of the country. Even if he wants to become a dictator, with the support of Yang Tiexin and Lin Yiqing, it is easy.
......
"Lord Yun, the planet of our Berwick Republic has reached 56. Now, the planets within the border with the southern Kingdom of Camp and the Kingdom of Mayland are all ours!"
Listening to the excited voice of a committee member, Yun Yi opened the star map and nodded with satisfaction: "The government's efficiency is quite good, but we can't relax yet. More than a dozen planets in the west have been swaying between us and Marosena, and some federal planets in the north are also going to join us. I plan to hope you can continue to work hard and win them all over!"
The committee member nodded heavily, and then another committee member stood up and said, "Lord Yun, let me report on the current situation of industry and commerce in China. There were originally 34 large groups in China, including four in the textile industry, one in the transportation industry, and mineral development..."
"Stop." Yunyi interrupted him: "You just need to report to me and military-related aspects."
The committee member paused and said, "In terms of warship manufacturing, the former Federal Second Shipyard is near the Berwick Galaxy and has now been nationalized, with 2,783 scientific research designers and an annual production capacity of 13,000, mainly federal [Vults-class] warships. In terms of mecha manufacturing, there is mainly the Berwick branch of the former federal heavy industry group. This is not the R&D center of the group. There are less than 100 researchers, but the production capacity is not bad, with an annual output of 37,000 mecha. Secondly, there are several private enterprises, but they are all small and medium-sized enterprises. It is okay to process some parts, but the overall mecha manufacturing is not good.
Yunyi gently knocked on the table: "It seems that the domestic production and manufacturing level is seriously insufficient. In the next plan, we must focus on these two companies. The annual output of the shipyard should reach at least 100,000, the production of mecha should reach 300,000, and it should have the production capacity of 100,000 fighters.
"What!" Everyone here was stunned by Yunyi's words. Although some people did not know what this number meant, they also knew from previous data that the annual output of warships of the Zhao and Song Empire was only 30,000, and in the heyday of the Federation, the annual output of warships was less than 100,000.
Mr. Liang frowned slightly and whispered, "Lord Yun, isn't it too risky to do this?"
The committee member also said, "Yes, Lord Yun. There are many problems here. First of all, there is a shortage of mineral raw materials. Although there are many domestic mineral resources, the development is insufficient, and most of them need to be imported. Now that the war has just ended, no merchant fleet has arrived here. Secondly, the technology of these two factories is very weak, and they can only produce the original federal [Vulcan class], which is much worse than the battleships of Iceras. The third and most important point.
Speaking of this, the committee member's face showed bitterness: "We are short of money. Now there is a lot of waste in China. Most of the enterprises of the former federation have been closed down because of the war. And our rebel own enterprise has just been relocated, and it will take some time to generate profits. Now most of the domestic funds have been used for the control of various planets. After all, they have just received these planets. If you want to stabilize them, you can't do without a large amount of funds. Security and stability must be put first.
Yun Yi smiled and motioned the committee member to sit down first.
"Yes, safety and stability must be put first, and domestic stability is more important than anything else. But think about it, what is the purpose of our founding? I believe everyone knows the answer, which is to defeat Ithellas and rebuild the Zhao and Song Empire! Here, I can reveal something to you, and I hope you don't spread it. Yun Yi said, glanced at the crowd coldly, and then said, "Behind Iseras, there is a supporter who is not weaker than Chu Tang."
As soon as they finished saying this, the committee members showed a shocked look on their faces.
What is Chu Tang? It is the largest power in the southern universe, and everyone needs to look up to it. What would be stronger than Chu Tang? Thinking of this, some people looked suspicious.
Yun Yi looked at all these in his eyes: "Maybe you think what I said is a little alarmist, but you may as well think about how many years Iseras took over the Zhao and Song Empire. Where did he get advanced warships and mecha, and so many masters? You have been in contact with Iselas for a long time. Can you compare which one is stronger, the battleship of Iselas and the Weron battleship exported by the Federation?
At this time, Qi Daoxue stood up, and his veteran pirate leader still had a say in this issue.
"According to my experience, Ietherus's warship is much higher than the exported Veyron warship, and even if it is compared with the military Veyron battleship, it is one level higher! However, compared with the Wumu-class warships under the command of Generals Lin and Yang, there are still some shortcomings.
Yun Yi nodded: "That's right. In comparison, everyone has understood how it is possible to have such a strong scientific and technological strength in less than ten years. There is no doubt that someone must be behind them. As for who supports them, I won't explain here. After all, I have promised some people, please forgive me.
After saying this, most people believed what Yunyi said, such as Liang Lao and Qi Daoxue, but fell into deep thinking. The existence is more powerful than Chu Tang, which is enough to make waves in their hearts.
Who are those people and what do they want to do if they support Iseras?
After a brief pause, Yun Yi continued: "Maybe everyone thinks that Iseras has been disabled by the Federation this time, and it is impossible to stand up without a five-year recovery period. But what I want to tell you is that during the invasion of the Federation, Iseras looted enough materials to build 200,000 warships in two to three years! What they lack is not supplies, but skilled ship operators and mecha warriors! As long as they finish their training, their first goal is likely to be us!"
"There is not much time left for us to prepare for a rainy day. Therefore, Berwick's top priority, in addition to internal stability, is military! Battleships, mecha, ship operators, mecha warriors, fighter pilots... These are all what we need to cultivate! No technology? That's not a problem. I have reached an agreement with Chu Tang. We can produce Chu Tang's [Wu-class] warship and [God of War] mecha. I can give you this information later. We must do a good job of confidentiality. As for raw materials, on the one hand, we need everyone to develop domestic resources. On the other hand, we have established diplomatic relations with Camp, Keira and Xiao Chen, and we can buy mineral raw materials from them. At the same time, you can also buy a large number of transport fleets from the three countries and go to Gattu, Leland and other countries to buy mineral raw materials.
"However, in terms of funds..." Liang couldn't help saying that both raw materials and transport ships need money. A word of money is enough to make Mr. Liang worried.
"Funds are not a problem."
Yun Yi suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, soon, someone will send us... a lot of funds."
Ps: I was really busy a few years ago and sent it late. Please forgive me. Bow and thank the reward students, thank you for your support!
