Guide to Galactic Dominance

On the top holographic screen of the milk tea shop, a TV program was playing, and the new milk tea girl who took over the shift happened to be tuned to the news station.

"...According to reporters from the British frontline media, in response to the recent announcement by the Star Alliance government to continue to expand the Star Alliance Space Force and defend against the potential aggression of the three major enslaver civilizations in the Galaxy against our Star Alliance, major civil anti-war groups in Europe and the United States are excited. , and began to launch demonstrations in major cities around the world. Our frontline reporters interviewed the demonstrators on the streets of London..."

In the picture, a curly-haired man in his thirties who looks fat and greasy, with a Union Jack painted on his face, holds a slogan "make no war, make love" in his hand, and raises his mouth. Go to the microphone and shout:

"We can't stand the existence of the cosmic and poisonous Star Alliance government! One war leads to another, and now two million people have joined the Space Army, and countless more people will be recruited next. Our brothers My sisters and friends were all sent to the cosmic battlefield. This is terrible! The Prime Minister of Iridium and the Head of State of Country C deceived everyone and kept saying that others were slaves. I don’t think they are any better than those aliens? Our nation has fallen, and now it is going to hell again. We demand the truth! We cannot be a tool for Star Alliance villains to invade other cosmic civilizations, and the people of Earth must wake up!"

The fat man talked a lot, and the reporter found it difficult to communicate with him. Then he interviewed a working woman who was well-dressed and looked serious.

"Miss, may I ask why you participated in this demonstration? Are you dissatisfied with the policies of the Star Alliance?"

"No, I think the unified government of the Earth is very good, and the current national supply policy is also very good."

"Then why do you oppose the Star Alliance government?"

"Ah, we don't want to fight."

"But the war is to protect the earth."

"Ah, we don't want to fight."

"You know that the Star Alliance Space Force recruits soldiers on a voluntary basis, right? Only those who voluntarily join the army will be admitted."

"Ah, I don't know this, but we don't want war."

"Then what are you thinking about?"

"I think since the Star Alliance is a global government, it should give everyone the right to vote. Well, I think people in developing countries in Africa and Asia are not yet capable of exercising their power, so people from European, American, Neon and other countries should Citizens vote first."

"You know that countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America have now implemented national supply policies, right? Now there is no difference between developing and developed countries."

"Oh, I don't know about this, but I think European and American countries have accumulated and grown for so many years, and they are definitely smarter and more advanced than those countries. Well, in addition, I think Star Alliance has not done a good job in terms of women's rights, and more should be given to women. social status and respect, such as women should receive a higher basic income, and..."

The TV station was cut off, and it was obvious that the milk tea girl who tuned in did not care about these political matters.

Bai Zhongqi took a sip of milk tea and said, "It's true, without work, these people are causing trouble."

Han Jiaxue smiled and said: "These activities will not have any substantial impact on Star Alliance and your actions."

"That's right, these are just phoenix-feathered guys."

Although Bai Zhongqi has been away from the earth for a long time, he has always been paying attention to things on the earth. After the formation of the Star Alliance, the developed countries in Europe and the United States succumbed to the Star Alliance and became part of the Star Alliance, but many people in these countries felt resentful.

Even though they handed over their military power, and even allowed the Star Alliance to disintegrate their economic structure and implement a unified Star Alliance economic system, deep down they still have a strong sense of loss.

On the contrary, many formerly poor and backward countries still highly support the existence of the Star Alliance. Because of Starlink's intervention, people in developing countries who were struggling to survive or even fall below the poverty line are now able to live a moderately prosperous life. Some countries whose public security was in jeopardy due to drugs and crime have gradually become stable due to Star Alliance's stricter monitoring and control system. Areas that were once war-torn and countries that were threatened by terrorist attacks have now led a peaceful life. Some countries and regions that are plagued by corruption have also become more administratively clear due to the interference of the Star Alliance.

Many things were already available in developed countries before, so they have no experience with them. But for backward developing countries, the life brought about by the establishment of Star Alliance is fundamentally different from their previous miserable lives. In contrast, most of the world's population living in developing countries support Various policies of the Star Alliance.

Of course, people in European and American countries have more diverse ideas. Some are anti-Star Alliance and some are pro-Star Alliance. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people joining the Space Force or investing in various Star Alliance projects and projects.

Bai Zhongqi knew that it would take at least one generation for the earth to completely identify with the Star Alliance. No matter what thoughts you have, when new Star Alliance citizens born in the Star Alliance era adapt to the Star Alliance lifestyle and various values ​​​​from an early age and completely become an interstellar citizen, there will not be such a change at that time. Labor pains.

After drinking the milk tea, Bai Zhongchu and Han Jiaxue walked out of the shop. Looking around, Bai Zhongchu was also in a daze. Even though this Taiping City was planned and built by him, Bai Zhongqi saw various scenes that had only appeared in science fiction works before and compared them with the silhouette of the city where he grew up. Bai Zhongqi understood the passage of time and the struggle and hesitation of people at this time.

Feeling that his girlfriend's arm seemed to be holding him tighter, Bai Zhongqi turned his head to see Han Jiaxue pressing her little face against his arm.

"Stay with me, don't be in such a hurry to go back." Han Jiaxue said with a slightly blushing face.

Bai Zhongqi felt a little ashamed. He was actually still in his twenties, but he had put too heavy a burden on his shoulders. Although he enjoyed all this, he also ignored a lot, such as his young feelings.

The path he chose was full of majesty and brilliance, which could make him admired forever, but it made him lose the simple life that he had been satisfied with before, and also made him let down the people who cared about him.

Bai Zhongqi hugged his girlfriend and whispered in her ear: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just by your side."

Han Jiaxue lay in his arms and whispered: "I know, you have big things to do, I am just an insignificant part, but even so, I still want to be in your heart, even if you have to You have to pretend to be me when you go far away."

Bai Zhongqi kissed her hair and said, "That's necessary."
