- In the 7th year of the Guidance Era, Lucy Berencaster, the top executive of the Federation, was preparing to step down. Although all walks of life in the federation are trying to persuade him to stay, Senator Sordino even pulled out allusions from the mythical era from the pile of old papers, explaining that the so-called "life-long dictator" is the glorious tradition of a republican democracy.
The power of tradition was so great that in the federation at that time, even the saying "all powerful countries in history were empires dominated by great kings, why not call the consul the emperor?" was very popular in the Senate. .
Lucy Berencaster expressed that she was very moved and then rejected them very calmly. However, before officially leaving office, he appointed the then Chief of Staff of the Central Fleet, Lieutenant General Leonhard Astre, as Commander-in-Chief of the "New World Front".
It was no longer news at the time that the remnants of the aristocratic faction in the late days of Glory Home finally fled to the New World. In fact, as early as seven years ago, this group of bandits roaming the seven seas had a battle with the Braden Navy in the Sea of ??Fallen Stars. The Braden Navy, which wanted to take advantage near the Spiral Fortress, suffered a heavy blow. No one expected that in the following days, this naval battle would trigger a series of chain reactions.
First, the Braden navy was severely damaged, and in order to collect enough supplies and wealth, the aristocratic army, specially led by Rudolf Geizer, sacked the important coastal ports of Braden, including the capital Attenborough. The strong and wealthy archipelago nation was devastated. The Kingdom of Braden's rival, the Kingdom of Middlesex, which considered itself qualified to compete for the hegemony of the Sea of ??Fallen Stars, also expanded due to this.
After the Dragon Knights finally mastered the control method of the Spiral Fortress, flew into the sky in their new station, and began their journey around the world, the Kingdom of Middlesex immediately launched a war against the Kingdom of Braden, with the purpose of seeking the other side's final victory. Western territory is Flag Island. Once successful, Middlesex had the potential to master all the New World routes then known.
The Middlesex man made a foolish but understandable decision at the time. At that time, the Queen of Auckland and the "Renovation King" Catalina the Great was facing two wars, the rebellion of the Cape Storm countries led by the Kingdom of Thuliu, and the secession movement united by the twelve city-states of Sosness in the Southern Continent. In addition to the war, the construction of the city of Arihelis, the later imperial industrial center, the establishment of the Calgary Institute of Technology, and the railway project from the imperial capital Theroxia to Blackman City, all of the above projects have greatly affected the development of Auckland. national power.
No one thinks that the empire is still capable of launching a third war.
No one thought that the Vaegian Empire and the Sky Federation, the only countries that could compete with the Auckland Empire for dominance, would stand on the side of Emperor Catalina without hesitation.
??The coalition, composed of part of the Auckland Empire's Falling Star Sea Fleet, the newly formed Royal Guards Navy of Virginia, and the Federation's floating fleet, marched into the Falling Star Sea Islands in a mighty manner.
During the five-year Starfall Sea War, the Kingdom of Middlesex was almost on the verge of collapse. King Robert III, later known as "The Manic," was eventually killed by a long-range guided gun sniper during a naval battle. His successor Mirhar II surrendered to the coalition forces.
The final result is that almost all important ports in the four kingdoms of Falling Star Sea have been designated as concessions by the three countries, and garrisons and supply points have been set up. This even includes the Kingdom of Norda and the Kingdom of Worcester, which were completely forced to get involved.
We even have reason to believe that all of this is actually a conspiracy by the three major human hegemons of the Old World to carve up the world. (This sentence was later deleted in the official publication)
Of course, later historical data can prove that the Three Kingdoms actually just followed the trend. The real person behind the battle in the Sea of ??Falling Stars is the secret society known as the "Snake of the World". Its core leadership, the legendary red dragon Elas of the "Scarlet Planet" known as one of the Thirteen Pillars Apostles, was captured by the Dragon Knights and is still being imprisoned in the Spiral Fortress to serve his sentence. He will face a five-thousand-year prison sentence. Hard labor. Seven of the organization's most powerful elite members, who came to be known as the "Star Enforcers," were killed and three were captured. (This paragraph frightened the editor, and the author was invited by the Great Church to drink tea for three days. The author was finally persuaded and deleted this paragraph from the official publication)
Years of war have caused the people of Falling Star Sea to endure tremendous suffering and torture. A large number of citizens chose to leave their homes and rush to the New World.
Most people, of course, chose the Platinum Bay area, which was undergoing continuous reclamation. Here, the Auckland Empire promulgated quite pragmatic laws such as the "Ten Years Tax Exemption" and the "Thirty Years Reclamation Order", which were even regarded as ancient policies at the time. Some sea people went north and found their homes in the north of the New World. They were later incorporated by the expedition team of the Vaegian Empire. This became the origin of the five colonial states in northern Vaegian.
However, the people of Falling Star Sea were originally unruly sea people (the original text is hereThey were a pirate nation (later revised by the editorial department), and a considerable number of people passed directly through Thunderstorm and Sea Monster Bay and arrived at the Isthmus of Kalimdor, which was later known as the Spine of the New World.
But before them, someone had already arrived there before them. Those were the losers who were defeated in the Federation Civil War in 1228 of the Glorious Era, and they were also the initiators of everything.
After a period of struggle and compromise between the proud and arrogant sea dwellers (pirates in the original text) and the losers in the battle for power, they finally merged to form a quasi-national military group, which later became the Nine Snakes Brothers. Its leader is the famous "Black Snake" and the pirate king of the New World, Sanz Gangplank. (For specific deeds, please refer to Chapter 3 "Nine Snake Heads" of the historical book "Rebels" in the New World, also published by Ocean University Press)
This group continued to advance into the western interior, and the local indigenous tribes they encountered burned, killed, and looted without mercy. Going south to harass the northern part of Auckland's Platinum Bay Colony, going east to become the largest pirate gang in the Sea of ??Fallen Stars and even the entire Sunset Ocean, directly threatening the safety of shipping in the entire New World. In just the first year after the establishment of the Nine Snake Brothers, the trade volume to the New World dropped by 50% compared to previous years.
Under this circumstance, Lieutenant General Leonhard Astre was appointed by the federal government to form the so-called New World Army, demanding the complete annihilation of the so-called Nine Snake Brothers.
At that time, the New World Legion had only more than 3,000 people, most of whom were new recruits. They were sent to the New World in twelve new guided warships to quell the rebellion. Except for the federal head of state who is about to step down and leave the Azure Palace, probably even Lieutenant General Astre himself is not optimistic about this action.
But facts have once again proved how fragile the traditional old-style magic core battleships are in the face of new guided battleships. In the ensuing Battle of Ilan Airspace, the Nine Snake Brothers, which had three times its strength, suffered a disastrous defeat, and all its floating warships were destroyed.
After cleaning up all the smugglers who were unwilling to surrender, Sanz Planck surrendered to Lieutenant General Astre. He was not punished too much, and later spent the last and most peaceful period of his magnificent life in the Federation's New World Warlord's Mansion as the director of the Maritime Administration. (For the story of Sanz Planck, please refer to the author's other historical masterpiece "The Pirate King Family")
Then, the colonial strongholds on the Isthmus of Camlido were officially incorporated into the territory of the Sky Federation. However, separated by the turbulent conditions of the Sea of ??Fallen Stars and the Ocean of the Setting Sun, Elishael had no way to establish a stable central administrative organization in the New World. On the other hand, due to the power vacuum left after Berencaster left office, the Sky Federation has no time to take care of anything else.
The next highest governor who took office was Anlos, who had served as Minister of the Interior for five years. This was a steady and down-to-earth governor who was not very interested in expansion, but focused all his energy on improving the national economy and people's livelihood. He and Agrol, who subsequently took over, were in power for a total of 20 years, which was also the period when the people's livelihood of the Sky Federation made the greatest progress. When Agrol died of illness in office, the income of citizens of Elisha surpassed that of Neosphia for the first time, becoming the first in the world.
However, 20 years is enough time for a generation to grow up.
A large number of old nobles who lost their rights in the Federation hid in the New World. In that area that lacked a sound governance system and strict laws, they resurrected and grew wildly. They were ready to launch a rebellion from the colonies and restore their old ruling order. In addition, as the federal taxes on the New World colonies increased every year, even ordinary immigrants were dissatisfied with the central government's rule. In this situation, the old Austrian nobles felt that the time had come.
On July 9, the 28th year of the Guidance Era, Major General Louis Kellingers, the commander of the New World Reclamation Corps, began to take action. He received a large amount of financial support from Sosness and Neosphia, and bribed A large number of military and political officials.
He sent troops to take control of the Warlord's Mansion, placed the then Warlord Quirk Pasch under house arrest, took over all affairs of the New World colonies, and declared the founding of the New World, which we later became familiar with as the First Republic of the New World.
Louis Kerlingers took the post of first consul and stipulated his powers: to promulgate laws, and to appoint and remove members of the Senate, ministers, ambassadors and other senior diplomatic officials, and army and naval officers at will.
This incident occurred in the turbulent month of July and is known as the "July Coup" in history.
Facts have proved that it is understandable that the so-called "First Republic" later became a famous political joke. Louis Kerlingers' founding of independence was a farce. Just one month later, the Federal Guards Fleet, which had already prepared for war, suddenly arrived at Kalimdor under the leadership of Admiral Elliott Grenzo and Admiral Lister Damas. isthmus.
Guidance from the skyThe shelling reduced the Overlord's Palace located in the center of the colonial capital of New Octalia to ashes, as well as the "First Consul" in the Overlord's Palace. The rebellion was thus put down. Later generations of the "First Republic of the New World" gained the "reputation" of the "January Country".
However, this is not the end of everything.
Alantis Narcisse, who subsequently ascended to the throne of the Supreme Consul, purged the fleeing old nobles in a more decisive and ruthless manner, and adopted a more repressive ruling policy for the colonies in the New World. The conflict between the New World and the federal mainland has become increasingly tense.
Although Cecilius Moore Berencaster and her son Cornwallis Berencaster, who later served as supreme consuls consecutively, made certain remedies, they were never able to restore the hearts and minds of the New World.
The motivation to surrender to the control of the Old World turned into a trend of thought, and even led from the Isthmus of Kalimdor to Platinum Bay and New Ariel in the north and south, and eventually led to the origin of the current independence movement in the New World.
We all know the subsequent results. That was the first New World War of Independence that took place in the 187th year of the Guidance Era.
