Him and their stars.

Chapter 1875 We Don’t Recognize Anyone But You

If an exclamation mark or question mark was used at the end of the title, it would inevitably be suspected of being a clickbait title, but the use of a period inexplicably gives it a sense of seriousness, as if it is stating a fact.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the bridge, which had been filled with high spirits, suddenly became low.

This news was actually released the day before yesterday, but it is still the hottest topic in the entire galactic interstellar network. 40 hours ago, on the morning of September 834, 9 of the Common Calendar, Blue Star Community Vice President Hierro announced to the entire universe that since the legitimate head of state, President Kes Nishita, was unable to perform his duties as head of state, he officially took office as the president of the Blue Star Community in accordance with the community constitution.

Then, as the president of the Blue Star Community, he announced unconditional surrender to King Brunhild of Suluca, and demanded that all armed forces of the community, including the space fleet, the Marines, the local security forces, the militia and various autonomous security organizations, should cease all hostile actions against the Imperial Army.

"What do you mean by unable to fulfill his duties as a head of state? Wasn't he assassinated? One hundred million people in the universe saw him being robbed and shot! He fell!"

"Then he must have been killed by the ball rapist?"

"...Well, some say that the person who was shot was a body double. He had already escaped in advance, but then lost contact."

When Yu Lian heard this, he felt that this was the real similarity.

"No, no, this is obviously a rumor of a rapist! He must have been killed by the old monster Mao!"

"If you ask me, President Nishita is good in every way except that he is too soft-hearted. He shouldn't have set up a multi-party coalition government in the first place, and he shouldn't have allowed the old guard of the Common Prosperity Party to remain in power!"

"Yes, we need a coalition government. Both the People's Choice Party and the Pioneer Party are good! What the hell is the Common Prosperity Party!"

The officers suppressed their voices and exchanged heated opinions in low voices. Of course, they tried to keep their voices as low as possible, but Yu Lian still heard everything.

In this timeline, President Nishita has always been a staunch advocate of war. He hardly hindered the front line during the war and was still very popular among the soldiers.

There is no way. Even Qin Changjiao was a staunch advocate of war before Jingkang, and a young scholar-official leader with a strong character. Moreover, Mr. President made many mistakes in his previous life, but he would never really reach this point.

In fact, not only the ordinary soldiers, but even Yu Lian himself felt uncomfortable. He was surprised to find that he was really a little worried about Mr. Nishita's safety.

Putting aside some tacit little disagreements in the later period, Brother Kaizi was really good to me. Whether it was the construction of the army and ships before the war, or the authority to supervise the military affairs of the distant coast, he gave me the greatest support.

Yu Lian is naturally a great commander in this life. He has learned to think from the perspective of the meat eaters and the superiors. Ask yourself, if you were in the situation of President Nishita "back then", you would definitely... definitely perform much better than him.

Tsk, even though he is just a half-son-in-law of the Alliance family, a mascot held up by the pro-Alliance capital circles on Earth, even though he is just a so-called tough guy and it is just a character setting, even though he certainly cannot beat any Imperial stormtrooper who has received basic training, but as the head of state, he does not even have the courage to die for his country?

But, to be fair, after all, I am just an ordinary person, and I have never had any subjective bad intentions. If I change my position or change the era, I will still be a popular and luxurious person.

On the other hand, I think it is a systemic problem to let mediocre people decide the fate of the country and the future of the nation. Individuals should not bear the main responsibility in this.

And now, President Nishita is indeed gone. Whether he was assassinated or a shadow warrior died in his place, he is indeed gone.

...Well, Yu Lian always felt that it was a bit subtle.

But no matter what, his heart told him that if the president was really gone, he would definitely be sad, although not much, but it was true.

To put it bluntly, even in his previous life, President Keith Nishita did not do anything wrong subjectively. He just mishandled the situation when the Blue Eagle Marquis sneaked to the far shore, which resulted in the severance of the two most combat-capable strategic groups of the community, but he could not come up with any strategy to reverse the situation. And when the imperial army invaded, he simply refused to surrender, negotiate, flee, or fight. From him to the entire central government, it seemed as if they had been mentally shocked and completely incapacitated.

Therefore, the war was a spontaneous act of the major military regions and fleets from the beginning. It was only a matter of time before they were easily divided and annihilated by the Empire.

But when the troops really arrived on Earth, when the soldiers who were still resisting needed him to set an example, he announced unconditional surrender, just like Mr. Yero and the Communist Party did in this timeline.

The ceremony took place at 9 a.m. on September 1st, in the administrative capital of Earth and the entire community, the island city named "Eternal City". In the Independence Square in the city center, under the gaze of the -meter bronze statue of Marshal Victoria Li, the ceremonial guard composed of the Imperial Armored Grenadiers wearing mechas has become the most majestic presence in the square.

They surrounded the makeshift ceremonial stage and also blocked the media and ordinary people outside.

In addition to the high-ranking officers of the Empire who were conquerors, many dignitaries from Earth were also present on the ceremony stage. They were the perfect mascots.

As the legitimate head of the Blue Star Community, President Yero stepped onto the stage step by step as if he was summoned to the palace. He looked at King Brunhild of Suluka in military uniform, feeling ashamed, trembling, and at a loss. In front of the most beautiful Dragon King, the legitimate head of the Earthlings seemed unworthy of being the latter's servant.

This scene, of course, was captured by the reporters.

Vice President Yero bowed 90 degrees and raised the document of unconditional surrender above his head, but he stumbled as he retreated and fell to the ground.

So he just lay on the ground, and while sticking his butt out, he actually lifted the document up again.

There was an uproar at the scene, and then the reporters started taking pictures excitedly.

Of course, many high-ranking officials, congressmen and onlookers who participated in the surrender ceremony shed tears of humiliation. This also became news material.

Obviously, Brunhilde had not expected such a development. She paused for a moment, then stepped forward to help Jero up.

"Why is it so?" she said.

Emotionally, as a proud conqueror, she disdains to humiliate the conquered in this way. Intellectually, there are many ways to make the conquered people obey, and physical violence and mental abuse are both possible means, but this is a broad political behavior against all lower classes.

But it is meaningless to humiliate those in a higher position who can serve as a facade.

"Why did it come to this?" Yu Lian, who saw the original video of the scene, had the same thought. It was hard for him to imagine that the man who had gone to Serbia to entertain the troops, awarded himself medals, and inspected everywhere like a peacock, always holding the hands of the soldiers and saying that they must "resist to the end",

Suddenly I felt that the Medal of Freedom that Mr. Ye gave me was a little dirty.

However, although Brunhild showed some respect to Hierro and the other senior officials present, after receiving the document of unconditional surrender, she said to the reporters: "This is not a new era, it is just to get everything back on track. Let the part that should belong to the empire come back. Please all the people of Blue Star must believe that when we get back on track, we will definitely be able to look forward to a truly magnificent future!"

There was an uproar at the scene again, and President Hierro retreated to the side, covering his face and trembling.

Brunhild had never thought of letting the Blue Star Community continue to exist, and becoming a satellite state of the Empire like the countries of Ketai or Bakvi. She had not even considered tributary rule, but was ready to bring it completely under the rule of the Empire.

More importantly, President Hierro made this announcement in his capacity as head of state. Legally speaking, the Blue Star Community is functionally dead.

This is why Star Network News came up with this title.

However, one can also feel that the alliance behind StarNet Broadcast seems to be somewhat happy to see this happen.

In front of a group of senior military officers, Yu Lian spent five more minutes reading the 1000-word news report three times before he looked up and sneered, "After all, this is just a news report. President Hierro... Ha, what Hierro did only represents his personal will."

Feifei said, "New Shenzhou is still resisting, the New World is still resisting, and warriors from all over the world are still fighting. More importantly, we are still here. That so-called unconditional declaration is just a piece of waste paper. Right, Captain?"

She looked up at Captain Nemo, her smile still there, her voice still calm.

Captain Nemo stood at attention and saluted, saying in a serious tone: "We are members of the Yu Fleet. Sir, we recognize no one except you! If you want us to continue the war, to conquer the Empire, or even to attack the Sky Realm, we will follow you at the risk of our lives! As for the statement from Earth..."

"Bah! That was the life of that bastard!" the first mate shouted angrily.

"Yes, you son of a bitch!" Captain Nemo glanced at the first mate, but raised his voice: "The Earth can surrender, but as long as you don't surrender, the community will not surrender."

Yu Lian was deeply moved. Although he had confidence in the loyalty of his soldiers, he was naturally moved when he heard them express their determination.

Then, he heard Xiao Hui's cold words: "Do you think that if you were planning to take them and this ship to join the Empire, would you be so loyal?"

Because the words were too malicious, Yu Lian decided to pretend he didn't hear them. He just frowned and thought, "The president is missing, so the only person who can play the role mentioned in this sentence is the vice president from the Gongrong Party. But where is Mao Yuanzuo? What role does he play?"

"Indeed, he did not appear at the ceremony." Feifei nodded slightly.
