Chapter 994:
The explosive War of Independence had finally broken out!
In the New World, most colonies had begun to revolt. Especially the colonies of the Kingdom of Norma, where the resistance movement had been particrly intense. Not only did the governor want to rebel against their homnd, but the Maya people also wanted to rebel against the governor. You oppose me, I oppose him, everyone wanted to suppress each other, resulting inplete chaos.
The colonies of the Kingdom of Gran had initially been rtively calm. However, once the neighboring Norma colonies erupted into disarray, the Kingdom of Grans colonial governors couldnt help but harbor rebellious thoughts, bandwagoning to secure greater benefits for themselves.
The entire New World had descended into war. Only two cities had remained as stable as Mount Tai. These were two cities personally established by Robb: one called Jinguan City, and the other Shuangqing City.
Shuangqing City had also be thergest and most prosperous city in the New World! In reality, Robb had long ceased to administer the city. He had essentially disengaged from mundane affairs and spent his days leisurely on airships, traveling the world. One day he might be seen hovering over the Kingdom of Gran, and the next he could suddenly appear in Big Tang, elusive as a mythical dragon.
The real person in charge of Shuangqing City now was Robbs right-hand man, Elsie. While Robb was globetrotting, Elsie had been handling all affairs in both Shuangqing City and Jinguan City. No one could challenge him, because everyone knew that the so-called worlds strongest army, the Westwind Self-Defense Force, was currently under Elsiesmand.
Armed with the worlds most advanced weapons and military doctrines, the Westwind Self-Defense Force was incredibly powerful. To put it arrogantly, if Elsie ever decided to rebel, hed merely need to deploy this army. No kingdom could withstand its might. However, Elsie was exceptionally low-key. This worlds strongest army was merely used to maintain peace in Shuangqing and Jinguan Cities and was never employed for invasion or looting.
By now, the New World had turned intoplete chaos with wars erupting everywhere, independence movements upsetting the heavens, yet Elsie remained unmoved. The overwhelmingly strong Westwind Self-Defense Force spent their days patrolling Shuangqing and Jinguan Cities, enjoying life. Let the outside world be as chaotic as it wants, just dont disturb my tranquility.
Finally, everyone realized that continuing this way was futile. So, arge group of colonial governors gathered in Shuangqing City, standing before Elsie. Holding a teacup, Elsie mimicked Robb, savoring Longjing tea imported from the East. However, his close attendants knew that the man actually had coffee in his cup.
Elsie couldnt get used to Eastern tea; he only enjoyed coffee. However, he wanted to emte Robbs tea-drinking mannerisms. Therefore, he poured coffee into the teacup, half-concealing it with his hand. That way, no one knew what he was drinking, yet he managed to exude the same aura as Robb when sipping tea.
One of the governors stepped forward and said, Lord Elsie, wevee to ask you to take the lead in founding a new nation.
What? What did you say? Elsie was astonished. Found a nation? Are you nning a rebellion?
Yes, precisely, a rebellion, the governor replied. We have worked so hard in the New World, developing and achieving what we have now. Yet the high nobles back home always want to exploit us, to take everything from the colonies. If we dont dere independence and form our own kingdom, theyll bleed us dry.
Elsie responded, This has nothing to do with me; I cant help you.
How can you say it has nothing to do with you? Youre also part of the New World.
Please refer to me as a member of Godfathers airship. I dont belong to any continent or city; I only belong to that airship. Though the airship is mainly upied by women and its not appropriate for me to be there, my heart has already followed it.
Everyone inwardly cursed him but dared not voice their frustrations.
The governor who had initially spoken said, Even if Godfather were here, hed surely agree.
He paused, then continued seriously, Right now, the New World is incessantly gued by wars. Not only do we fight among ourselves, but we also have to battle the legions sent by our mothend, resulting in total chaos. Although in Shuangqing City
Elsie shrugged.
The governor went on, Godfather hates seeing so many refugees disced. If he were here, hed surely find a solution. Our solution is to dere independence, unite the forces from all colonies, and fend off threats from our mothend. Then we would form a federation and cease fighting amongst ourselves. Wed focus on economic development, thereby saving our citizens.
At this point, he paused again, seeking the approval of the other governors with his eyes, then continued seriously, We n to make this newly formed federations capital Shuangqing City, with you as the President.
Elsie eximed, Wow, are you trying to force me to be a king?
Not a king, a President.
Whats the difference? Elsie said, This isnt a good idea. Im busy serving Godfather; I dont have time for this. If I were to do this, it would make me look ambitious, and Godfather would be displeased.
Everyone retorted in unison, Godfather is already gallivanting around the world in his airship. Youre wandering around Shuangqing City all day with the Westwind Self-Defense Force, with nothing better to do. How can you say you dont have time?
Elsie said, If I were to do this
Everyone was both amused and exasperated, thinking to themselves: So, youre essentially telling us to go talk to Godfather, arent you? Fine, youre cunning enough, but weve been prepared for this kind of maneuvering from you for quite some time.
One of the governors extended his hand and said, Lord Elsie, may we borrow your state-of-the-art videomunication crystal panel to have a conversation with Godfather?
Elsie, of course, had obliged.
Not long after, a group of governors had stood in front of the specialized crystal panel for videomunication. They reported the New World situation to Robb, who was leisurely aboard his airship, exining their intentions to establish a federation with Shuangqing City as the capital and Elsie as the President, among other things.
They heard Robbugh from the other side, saying, Elsie, youve been with me for many years. Its time for you to strike out on your own. Take good care of the New World; you know my philosophy. I hope you manage the New World in a manner consistent with my ideas, always taking the concept of happiness into ount before making any decision.
Elsie had respectfully replied, Your wish is mymand! I will not fail you and will ensure that the New World Federation is well-managed and continues to thrive.
Thus, the Maya Federation Republic had been founded. The kingdom was a conglomeration of several small colonies, each called a state, each with its differentws and management systems. However, they all recognized Shuangqing City as their capital. After Elsie took his position, he had governed diligently, weed immigrants, and rapidly developed the economy. Having followed Robb for a very long time, Elsies mind was filled with Robbs philosophies. Therefore, under his administration, the Federations economy had surged.
As for the future, that was left for everyone to contemte.
The wheel of history had continued to roll forward, and whatever cameter would be pulled into the path it was destined to follow by the swirl of fate. Robb didnt want to interfere; he wasnt that industrious. He believed whats meant to be will be; just let everything happen as it may.
