Chapter 1234: Two Major Issues
Chapter 1234: Two Major Issues
"Agreed," Lawrence Lemore steadied himself and continued, "As we all know, the situation in our Saint Silver Federation, especially in the Saint Silver System, is dire.
The core of the Saint Silver System has been destroyed, and the super AI, Hymn, along with countless other super-strong beings, have perished in the chaos. Now, the Crystal Blue Collective's invasion is imminent. This is the most dangerous moment for the survival of our Federation!
Yesterday, the 'Interstellar Teleportation' system was restored, and the citizens of the Saint Silver System immediately reached out to us for help, hoping we can provide support."
Lawrence's gaze swept over the crowd below, "Today, we are not discussing whether to support our fellow citizens, but how much support we can provide.
Just now, all eight of our Nebula-level super-strong beings stationed in the Milky Way have rushed to the Saint Silver System to offer aid.
I hope everyone can speak freely on this issue and do their best to support the citizens of the Saint Silver System!"
Hearing this, the planetary councilors immediately expressed their agreement:
"That's right, it's our duty."
"We should indeed provide assistance, and the more, the better!"
"We should provide a lot of aid. If it weren't for the high teleportation costs, I would have already been in the Saint Silver System myself!"
Listening to the voices, Lawrence Lemore nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, let's begin our discussion on this issue!"
...
Next, the Vega Council began a heated debate.
Today's important agenda included two major issues:
1. How much aid to provide to the Saint Silver System.
2. Whether to form a 'Milky Way Alliance.'
The second issue was as critical as the first.
With the interstellar teleportation system now open, besides the Saint Silver System's plea for help, the 100 hub planets of the Milky Way were also discussing whether to form a 'Milky Way Alliance.'
Lawrence had received dozens of proposals from various hubs just today.
The primary goal of forming the 'Milky Way Alliance' was to ensure the safety of the hub planets and facilitate governance.
With Hymn's disappearance, the 100 hub planets of the Milky Way needed to quickly establish a leadership structure to prevent the entire society from collapsing.
To build this governance system, many permissions were required, such as the power to appoint personnel, make autonomous decisions, and control military operations.
The Saint Silver System was in chaos and couldn't manage the Milky Way, while the Milky Way couldn't afford to be a loose collection of independent hubs.
If each hub developed on its own, there was a risk of individual hubs being overrun by rebel organizations!
Thus, the leading hub planets of the Milky Way proposed the formation of a temporary 'Milky Way Alliance.' The 100 hub planets would unite to ensure their safety.
In the event of an external threat, they would support each other and act together, eliminating the risk of rebel attacks.
...
These two issues were of utmost importance to the fate of the hubs, and in comparison, Su Yu's matters were trivial.
Therefore, these two issues were prioritized for discussion, while Su Yu's matters would be addressed later.
Although it might be a long time before his issues were discussed, Su Yu did not grow impatient or leave the livestream to do something else.
He listened to the meeting with full attention, not missing a single moment.
Even though the discussions were not relevant to his current stage, and his Eighth-Rank strength did not grant him a seat in the council, he knew that his future was tied to the Saint Silver Civilization. He would become the 'Lord of Saint Silver,' and understanding these broader discussions was crucial.
……
This discussion lasted over five Feg hours.
After more than five Feg hours, the two major issues were finally brought to a close.
The first issue, regarding "providing support to the Silver Star System," met with no opposition. Everyone was deeply moved and agreed to provide all surplus resources while maintaining the normal operation of the hub.
In the final vote, this issue passed with a high 91% approval.
As for the second issue, concerning the formation of the "Galactic Union," it sparked extensive debate.
Out of the five Feg hours, four were spent discussing this issue.
Many senators agreed with the formation of the Galactic Union.
They believed that in these critical times, the 100 hub planets should unite to maintain peace and stability.
However, many senators disagreed.
These senators argued that while the proposal seemed flawless, it would actually lead to the fragmentation of the Silver Federation.
Previously, the Silver Federation was a unified entity, with both the Milky Way and the Silver Star System governed by the Sacred Chant.
Now, the Milky Way was seeking autonomy in personnel, military, judicial, and economic matters, which meant the division of federal power.
No longer subject to central governance, this was no different from secession and the establishment of a separate government.
Therefore, these senators firmly opposed the proposal.
……
The second issue was debated for over four Feg hours.
The discussions were heated, and no consensus could be reached, leading the issue to be pushed into a voting round.
After a brief vote, the results were quickly announced:
Out of the 753 votes cast by the 681 senators present, the issue received 460 votes in favor, 151 votes against, and the rest were abstentions.
The votes in favor accounted for 61% of the total.
According to Feg parliamentary law, a major issue required 70% approval to pass.
Thus, it was unfortunate that the issue did not pass when the results were announced.
……
Su Yu and the cat Chenxing watched the live broadcast intently.
When the voting results were announced, they both held their breaths.
Seeing the final result of 61% in favor, the human and the cat both let out a sigh of relief.
"Phew, that was intense!" Chenxing, lying on the grass, wiped her forehead dramatically. "61% in favor, good thing it didn't pass."
"Good thing?" Su Yu looked at her in disbelief. "Chenxing, that's how you see it? You actually opposed this issue?"
During the live broadcast, Su Yu hadn't communicated with Chenxing.
He had assumed that Chenxing shared his views and supported the issue, but it turned out that despite watching the same broadcast, their thoughts were worlds apart.
Chenxing also stared at him with wide eyes. "Kexing, you actually support the issue?
If the 'Galactic Union' is really formed, wouldn't the Silver Federation split? How would you bind the Silver Civilization then?"
"But," Su Yu explained, "the Feg Hub's immediate priority is self-preservation. If we don't quickly unite with other hub planets, what will we do when the enemies attack?"
Meanwhile, in the meeting, Acting Speaker Lawrence announced, "The votes in favor did not exceed 70%, so the issue did not pass. However, since the votes in favor exceeded 50%, the issue is temporarily tabled and will be discussed again later.
Alright, let's conclude this issue. Everyone, please calm down, and we will move on to the next topic..."
