Chapter 3755: Conspiracy for Benefits
The President of the Federation...well, the current President of the Federation is no longer the two that Locke had contacted before.
The weak constitution and short lifespan of low-level creatures are destined to be passers-by in the life journey of high-level creatures like Locke, even though the other party is the distinguished president of the Federation.
This is also the biggest difference between the Gallente Federation and other world civilizations that Locke has come into contact with!
In other world civilizations, high-level creatures are destined to become the leaders or even rulers of that civilization.
However, in the Gallente Federation, due to the influence of the federal presidential election mechanism, each federal president is an 'ordinary person' who can only rule for a few thousand years.
If we also consider that few presidents survive to retirement, the real lifespans of these presidents may be even shorter.
Compared with the pressure and responsibilities that come with such a high position as the president, the generals of the military live a more comfortable life than the president.
There is a saying in the Federation: a tough five-star general is a smooth president.
So far, during Locke's contact with the Gallente Federation, there have been four or five presidents in the Federation, but the Federation's five-star generals are still the same three, and their status is unshakable at all!
And because the three five-star generals have all undergone more or less genetic modification, in addition to the improvement of their life levels, their lifespans have also been greatly enhanced.
Even apart from the generals of the military, the leaders of the major chaebols and consortiums in the Gallente Federation also have a much better life than the president.
To prevent the president from being in power for too long, which would lead to the excessive growth of power and affect the democracy and freedom of the federation, every federation clearly stipulates that the term of office shall not exceed two terms.
The president is like this, but the top plutocrats and consortium leaders are not like this!
The federal constitution clearly states that private wealth is sacred and inviolable. Even if the federal government points a electromagnetic gun at it, it cannot force those plutocratic leaders to give up their wealth, or let them give up their shares for nothing.
Therefore, many scholars with in-depth research on the federal system and civilized environment have stated more than once that the federation is not a federation of all citizens, nor a federation of the president, but a federation of top plutocrats and large consortiums.
In terms of influence, those federal plutocrats
And top consortia can directly control the presidential election, and even indirectly influence the military's armament replacement and warship upgrades.
To give the most intuitive example, six of the top ten federal chaebols have close and in-depth ties with the military. Two of the most well-known chaebols have established private heavy industry laboratories that are even larger than those of the military. More advanced.
As for the other four chaebols, although they have no close contact with the military, their main tentacles extend to medical, construction, education, food, culture and other fields.
Locke also has a certain understanding of the current status of civilization in the Gallente Federation, but with his current identity and status, it is certainly impossible to specifically talk to the leaders of the top financial corporations in the Federation.
The president is elected by the trillions of citizens of the federal government. From another perspective, it can also be said that the president is also elected by the top plutocrats and conglomerate leaders and is their spokesperson.
Only by talking to the President of the Federation can Locke reach a consensus with the Gallente Federation faster.
As for how to balance the internal conflicts within the federation and distribute the profits of civilized war brought by the wizarding world, that is what the president and federal congressmen should do. They are good at this.
Alpha 2 stellar war fortress, a behemoth comparable in size to Locke Star Port, is located in the middle of the Pan-Source Light star system.
With Locke's seventh-level life level, it would be quite risky to directly enter the Gallente Federation's home planet, so the federation's senior officials set the meeting place at the Alpha 2 star-level war fortress.
Led by the five-star general Khadiga Gaius, when Locke entered the core conference room of the Alpha 2 stellar war fortress, dozens of federal congressmen and the president had already appeared here.
The federation's political power structure is extremely complex. Just the top federation leaders in front of them cannot fully represent the will of the Gallente Federation, so there are many empty seats in the conference room.
Those virtual seats are used for holographic projection. There are hundreds of members of the Gallente Federation. Naturally, it is impossible for them all to appear in the Alpha 2 stellar war fortress at this time. Holographic projection participation in meetings is also Gallente. A feature of the Federation.
In addition to those congressmen, the Federation Speaker and Vice President, who have considerable authority in the Gallente Federation, did not come in person.
Five Stars
Khadijah Gaius explained that Speaker Forris is currently handling government affairs in the Kinnaze Star Domain, and Vice President Pigen is inspecting in the Harling Star Domain. The two of them can only participate in the meeting through projection this time. .
When Locke boldly walked into the conference room and sat directly on the seat prepared for him by the Federation, looking around, Locke regretfully found that there was no federal politician he was familiar with.
It can only be said that under the federal political system, the speed of replacement of high-level officials is too fast. However, in just tens of thousands of years, the high-level officials of the federal government have been replaced.
After a long time, just before the meeting was about to start, all the federal participants were in place, and Locke finally found a familiar face among the hundreds of faces.
The other party is the third-ranking figure in the federal political system. His position is second only to the president and speaker, and his authority is higher than that of the vice president. The five-star general Trich Pan Baeza.
The old man also attended this meeting in the form of a projection, and he did not know where his body was now. Another five-star general, Khadiga Gaius, had no intention of explaining to Locke at this time.
After not seeing each other for tens of thousands of years, the old guy Trich Pan Baeza seems to be in better spirits.
Because it was just a virtual projection, Locke could not truly perceive the real situation of Trich Pan Baeza, but the perception and keen insight from his seventh-level master discovered what must have happened to the old man.
After a while of polite greetings with the senior federal officials in the conference room, the meeting officially began.
Before leaving the wizarding world, the result of Locke's private discussion with Douglas was that the Gallente Federation must be pulled onto the chariot.
What we refer to here is not to expand trade cooperation and sign a so-called "troop agreement" like the Rose Dynasty civilization.
Instead, they really asked the Gallente Federation to dispatch their Orobas-class war fleet to target the Mesopotamian civilization or the underworld civilization.
The wizarding world's appetite is not that big. Even if Locke wants to eat the three-party civilization home star field directly, he has to worry about whether he will be starved to death.
The civilization of the Rose Dynasty was more than adequate, but its shortcoming was that it was not enterprising enough.
In the current environment, only the Gallente Federation is the one that the wizarding civilization can fight for and collude with for war profits.
