132: The Huaxia Federation was established
The next day, early morning.
The Star Sea official website very discreetly published an announcement.
[To give back to global players for their love of [star sea knight: enlightenment], Star Sea will officially launch the [Mecha Global Tour Exhibition] event tomorrow, lasting 675 days.]
Since the announcement was released at 5:00 AM, a time when everyone except night owls was still asleep, it did not attract much attention.
When the time reached 7:00 AM.
Times Square, New York City.
A homeless man sleeping in a wall crevice was awakened by a harsh buzzing sound, and when he groggily opened his eyes, he was instantly startled!
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and pinched his own face hard.
It hurt a little; this was not a dream!
With black paint, emitting faint green particle streams all over its body, the eight-winged [seraph] slowly landed in the center of the square.
"Oh my God, is this an angel!"
... Eiffel Tower, Paris.
While this city was still dormant, the [Azure Dragon], painted deep cyan and clad in dragon scale armor, landed in front of the landmark structure.
8:00 AM.
Across the globe, in top-tier cities.
When people woke up from their sleep and drove to work, they finally discovered the sudden arrival of these massive steel giants in their cities.
People were not unfamiliar with these steel giants; some could even accurately name them.
In an instant, the global internet exploded!
Times Square, New York City.
Jack, a gaming streamer with ninety million followers, ranked 397 in the current season's ladder for [star sea knight: enlightenment].
He held up his phone, pointed it at the [seraph] in the center of the square, and excitedly ruffled his hair: "What the f*ck?"
"I truly can't believe this cool mecha would appear in our city!"
"I've only seen it once in a dungeon; it's absolutely gorgeous!"
The live stream chat area was scrolling rapidly with hundreds of comments per second.
[This is insane. Did our government actually allow them to do this?]
[This is definitely a provocation; they are flexing their muscles at us!]
[Wake up. We still rely on Star Sea to fight the aliens. They are now the gods of Blue Star, and no one can defy their will.]
... Similar video clips were frantically reposted within the Dragon Country. Netizens fell into fervent worship regarding Star Sea's actions.
Ah Xing, a well-known military blogger with thirty million followers, urgently produced a short video reconstructing the entire process of the event.
He faced the camera, wearing a very formal Zhongshan suit.
A screenshot of the Star Sea official website announcement appeared in the upper right corner.
[To give back to global players for their love of [star sea knight: enlightenment], Star Sea will officially launch the [Mecha Global Tour Exhibition] event tomorrow, lasting 675 days.]
"Star Sea's announcement was released at 5:00 AM."
The background screen changed to a video recording from abroad, showing the eight-winged [seraph] landing in Times Square, New York City.
"Look here."
Ah Xing zoomed in on a section of the video, where an electronic screen atop a building displayed the current time: 7:00.
"Only two hours passed between the time of the announcement and the [seraph]'s arrival in New York City."
"What can you do in two hours?"
"Given the speed of Western approval processes, it would take at least three to five days to get clearance."
"Furthermore, this isn't an isolated incident; it's a global event, primarily concentrated in the top-tier cities of developed nations."
"There was no prior notice or movement recently. What does this indicate?"
"I'm going to make a bold guess here: Star Sea proceeded with this 675-day event unilaterally, without seeking approval."
"Pay attention to the number 675; there might be another surprise related to it."
Ah Xing then conducted a series of analyses surrounding the event, subtly revealing one piece of information: Blue Star might be facing a major transformation.
The video's comment section, however, ignored the issue of official approval, with all sorts of bold statements emerging endlessly.
[Ah Xing was too subtle. I'll make a bold prediction: Blue Star is about to achieve great unification.]
[The aliens are about to attack, so internal integration for a united front is necessary. Those foreigners are lucky they caught this wave, otherwise, it would be highly unlikely for them to get a Dragon Country green card.]
[Holy cow, just thinking about it makes me excited. Unifying Blue Star—will that merit a guaranteed postgraduate spot?]
[The person above is being subtle. Forget just you; guaranteeing postgraduate spots for your entire family wouldn't be a problem.]
[The second floor is also too subtle. Guaranteeing postgraduate spots for everyone in your entire village would be fine.]
... That afternoon.
The United Assembly convened an emergency meeting.
When the Dragon Country representative proposed the motion to establish the Huaxia Federation, the Western politicians all fell silent.
After reading the final passage, the Dragon Country representative smiled, looked around the room, and picked up the microphone again.
"Who is in favor, and who is opposed?"
A gleaming knife was already held against their necks.
Oppose?
That would simply be asking for death.
Furthermore.
The Starport was generating staggering wealth every day. The beneficiaries had already recouped most of their initial investments, and now was the time to make passive income.
If they opposed the Dragon Country and Star Sea during such a sensitive period, the outcome would be predictable.
The Hai Star people were about to attack; great unification was an inevitable trend. It was just that the politicians had not expected it to happen so soon.
Ultimately, the motion passed unanimously; not a single country cast an abstention vote.
After several more hours of discussion, the initial operating model for the Huaxia Federation was finally determined.
Eagle Country was elected as the Deputy Governing Nation, responsible for managing the Northern Hemisphere.
The Dragon Country served as the sole Governing Nation, managing the Southern Hemisphere and the Deputy Governing Nation, Eagle Country.
The day-to-day operating model among various countries did not change significantly.
However, three rules had to be followed.
1: The Governing Nation must ensure the safety of the Federation member states.
2: Federation member states must unconditionally obey the task assignments from the Governing Nation.
3: Star Sea exists as an independent entity and possesses veto power.
When this meeting concerning the fate of humanity concluded.
From then on, Blue Star achieved unification.
The Huaxia Federation was officially established.
After the meeting, official media outlets around the world began operating, tirelessly promoting the vital significance of the Huaxia Federation to the people of Blue Star.
Huaxia Federation Official Website.
Public Message Board.
[Can anything be more ridiculous than this? I finished work only to find out I've become a citizen of the Huaxia Federation?]
[What I care about more is whether we still need to learn English in the future.]
[I already asked for you, upstairs. The future global common language is Mandarin, no more memorizing vocabulary.]
[Star Sea: I just displayed a mecha, how did you guys end up unifying the planet?]
