Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 423 Federal Security Council
After a while, the participants of the Federal Security Conference arrived.

Lu Yao walked into the meeting room with the two federal vice presidents, Johnson and Powis.

Johnson and Powers were the former presidents of the European and American Federation.

Although the current federal government of the solar system is dominated by the former Asian federal government, in order to complete the integration of human society as soon as possible, most of the senior officials of the original European and American federations are still retained.

The current federal government can only be regarded as a temporary transitional government. After three years of public elections, a formal solar system human federation government will be formed. The term of office of a government will be ten years.

Therefore, the current high-level federal officials are at odds with each other. They are all striving for greater interests for their respective ethnic groups and regions, and for votes in the public election three years later.

Usually you can't see it, but when you encounter major events, you will be a little bit eccentric.

After the three of them took their seats, Lu Yao said directly: "We came a little late because we just received the news that Jupiter and Saturn have interrupted the shipping with the earth, the moon, and the planets in the asteroid belt. Our three ships on Jupiter and Saturn The spaceship was seized by them."

The attendees were enraged upon hearing the news.

"what?!"

"They're crazy!"

"Are they trying to rebel?"

Zheng Qingwu, director of the Federal Defense Agency, said loudly: "Then we will also detain their spacecraft!"

Johansen smiled bitterly: "It's late, all the spacecraft and space planes of the Solar System Dynamics Company are flying to Jupiter, and they have already prepared for it!"

Wu Tie, director of the Federal Space Agency, looked at Orlando, "Your Excellency Orlando, how do you explain this?"

Hearing Wu Tie's unceremonious question, the conference room quickly fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to Orlando.

Orlando's face was ashen. He was obviously shocked by the news, and even more angry.

Solar System Power Company is a company under his name. Although it is said that the controlling stake has been handed over to the Federation, the delivery has not been completed yet, and his people are still in control.

These people did such a big thing without his knowledge.

Powis is the former President of the European Federation and a senior deacon of the Mutual Aid Association. He replied for Orlando:
"Director Wu, Mr. Habs has stopped asking about the Solar System Power Company. You should ask the reception staff of the General Administration of Commerce."

"And after getting the news yesterday, Mr. Habs has sent an investigation team headed by Hans von Bachmann to Ganymede. There will be good news in a few days."

Wu Tie still wanted to ask questions, but was interrupted by Lu Yao.

"I believe that Mr. Habbs and the Mutual Aid Association have nothing to do with this matter. Let's discuss how to deal with the current situation!"

Zheng Qingwu was the first to speak, and he said resolutely: "My opinion is to send the federal space fleet to Jupiter and Saturn, take over the defense of Jupiter and Saturn, and reorganize the local administrative agencies of the Jupiter and Saturn region."

His speech aroused strong opposition from former European and American federal officials.

Johansen said loudly: "Director Zheng, doing this will only arouse conflicts and cause bloody conflicts, absolutely not!"

Some people in Europe and the United States also said that doing so will only disappoint the people of the former European and American Federation and destroy the current peaceful atmosphere.

However, the officials of the former Asian Federation believed that Brinton and his group should have planned it for a long time, and it was impossible to properly solve it without resorting to force.

The two sides couldn't stop arguing, so Lu Yao had to pat the table to signal silence.

He looked at Zhong Cheng and asked, "Zhong Dong, what do you think?"

After the meeting started, Zhong Chengcheng remained silent. He was thinking about a problem for the past two days.

Human society has achieved the first unity in tens of thousands of years, and a new era has come.

But there are every indication that the new era is not quite here yet.

Why did the new age not fully come?
Zhong Cheng believes that the old and new societies are not seamlessly connected. The old society is like a collapsed old house, leaving a lot of debris and dust.

The new house is built on these debris, and the debris affects the foundation of the new house, and the construction of the new house cannot be completed overnight.

There needs to be a transition period, a running-in period.

Their previous ideas were a bit too idealistic, which is why he has always been a little unsteady.

The occurrence of the Brinton incident is inevitable. It is only a matter of time. Although he does not want to see it, it is an opportunity for human society to run in.

Hearing Lu Yao's question, he looked up at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "It's too early to discuss whether to dispatch the Federal Space Fleet. It is recommended to have a formal communication with them and understand their real thoughts before making a decision. "

"However, it is a principle that the Human Federation will never allow separatist forces to appear, and we can't go back!"

Zhong Cheng's suggestion won the unanimous approval of the participants.

Lu Yao immediately arranged for Powis and the Speaker of the Federal Parliament Wang Cangsheng to contact Brinton.

After the meeting ended, Zhong Cheng walked out of the conference room and found Lu Huo, Shi Hanxing and Deng Jinhai.

While taking the elevator, Lu Huo took them to the Federal President's Office on the 288th floor. Lu Yao, Wang Cangsheng, Zheng Qingwu, Wu Tie, Lu Yuan and others were already waiting for him in the office.

Lu Yuan is Lu Yao's younger brother, he is now the chairman of AirAsia, and Zhong Cheng has been a partner for many years.

These people in the office are all members of the Ancient People's Association. Except for a few people such as Wu Tie who have only joined for less than three years, the others are all old members for more than ten years.

In order to cope with the Battle of Dawn and the post-war situation, the Guminhui expanded its personnel very quickly, from 100 members before the war to more than [-] million members now.

Moreover, due to the recognition of Chinese culture by the people of the world, members are no longer limited to Chinese people in the traditional sense.

Under this new situation, Zhong Cheng set a new principle, as long as he upholds Chinese culture, he is a Chinese, regardless of race or nationality.

This point has been recognized by the senior officials of the Ancient Ministries Association. In the current situation where human society has been unified, it is indeed the enemy of the world and unpopular to hold high the banner of isolated nationalism.

And if we don't win broad public support, if we lose the public election three years later, the great situation of promoting Chinese culture will be in vain.

Because all the people present were members of the Ancient Civil Society, although Zhong Cheng had no official position, he was the core of a group of people.

After everyone sat down in the living room of the office, Zheng Qingwu complained: "These Westerners are just dragging their feet. I think they hope that things will get bigger and better, so we can see our jokes!"

Wang Cangsheng was the oldest, and he was a veteran who "has gone through three dynasties". He said dissatisfiedly: "Qingwu, don't knock everyone down with one shot, they are not all what you said."

But Lu Yuan said: "No matter what, it is impossible for them to agree with us for the public election three years later. Even if some of them don't want the matter to make too much trouble, they still hope that we will be disgraced."

"So, Mr. Wang, you must be careful when negotiating with Brinton and his group this time, and try to let Powis make up his mind!"

Wu Tie also nodded when he heard the words, "Their excessive conditions must not be agreed to. I would rather tear everyone apart, or fight a battle."

Wang Cangsheng and Lu Yao frowned, displeased with Wu Tie's words.

Wang Cangsheng asked back: "You are shouting and killing one by one, is our federal army ready?"

Zheng Qingwu said confidently: "The Federal Army's First Space Fleet has deployed to the asteroid belt, with one space battleship, three space cruisers, and more than 100 space frigates and assault ships."

"10 soldiers are ready to go, as long as the president gives an order, they can go on an expedition to Jupiter and Saturn, and bring the bad guys back to Earth!"
