Chapter 957 Authoritarian Self-Determination

Rules are really important.

Simon kept his promise and did not take the opportunity to encroach on the interests of the Dark Faction, showing the trustworthy side of Duke Palmer.

For Li Yifei and others, this is the last test.

Some of them have strength and resources, and are qualified to choose a monarch.

Since they have chosen to join the Angel Civilization, they must choose a good master.

Obviously, Duke Palmer is very qualified.

He has enough strength to subdue the four parties, and is willing to share power with them. The most important thing is to keep his promise and not do short-sighted things for the sake of temporary benefits.

Although it may be a performance, there is no absolute in the world?

If they don't even act, they may turn around and leave.

Since they are willing to act, everyone knows it tacitly, which means it is true.

Li Yifei gathered everyone and whispered: "Everyone has seen that Duke Palmer kept his promise. Now it's our turn."

"It was agreed before. Since you have changed your camp, let's be straightforward." Someone agreed. Those who can be sent here not only have power, but also have vision.

Those who hesitated and played both sides had long been eliminated internally.

Others also echoed, and Li Yifei nodded with satisfaction. This time, their Li family was one of the leaders and took the initiative to give up a lot of interests. Of course, they wanted a good result.

"Then it's settled. My family has decided to expel the federal government's troops from today, establish a separatist regime, and cut off contact." Li Yifei made the decision.

This is what everyone has discussed. We just need to wait for a suitable opportunity to start.

But at the moment, there is another important thing.

When Simon returned to rest, he just came out of the mecha and saw Li Yifei and others waiting.

"Mr. Li, what's the matter?"

So many people are waiting here, obviously not just to greet him.

Li Yifei straightened his clothes and said formally: "Count Simon, the Duke has treated us well and we have no way to repay him, so we have discussed and decided to give this planetary system as a gift to thank the Duke for his kindness."

Simon paused. Although he was well-informed, he was still shocked by the generosity of the Dark Faction of the Blue Star Federation.

The territory has always been the forbidden fruit of the nobles.

The territory can provide population, soldiers, finances, and weapons, which is very important to the nobles.

For example, Simon himself also brought private soldiers with him when he went into battle. They were all loyal and reliable people of the Griffin Peninsula.

This is the foundation of a noble family. If it were him, he would not dare to say that he was willing to give it up.

But looking closely at Li Yifei's expression, it didn't seem fake.

"Are you sure?" Simon was afraid that they were excited for a while, and it would be ugly if they started to argue.

Li Yifei nodded and answered seriously: "Of course I am sure. The Earl would not think that only a few of us dare to make such a big decision on our own, right?"

This kind of big thing must be a combination of the ideas of several family consortiums, not something that can be decided by one person on a whim.

Simon was convinced by this.

These people can firmly control the resources of the Blue Star Federation, and they are indeed not ordinary people.

His attitude also changed, and his expression softened: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I will report to His Excellency the Duke first. Now... everyone should work together to solve the last resistance first."

...

The situation on the front line was reported back, and it was expected that this native civilization would be defeated.

If Simon really failed, it would be big news.

However, Lister was also shocked by the courage of Li Yifei and others.

For this reason, he specially invited Virut to come over.

"Uncle Virut, you can also take a look."

In private, he is willing to use this more intimate name to bring the two sides closer.

Verut read the news sent back by Simon and smiled: "Congratulations, these Blue Star Federation consortiums have finally made the final choice."

Even a planetary system was given, which was obviously a complete surrender.

Lister was also laughing, this was something more important than a planetary system.

This was also related to the Blue Star Federation civilian faction. If it were not for external pressure, they would not have made a choice so quickly.

After laughing, Lister said seriously: "I want to reject Li Yifei's offer. Although a planetary system can be called expensive, our reputation is more valuable. There is no need to covet temporary gains and losses in territory."

Being able to make this decision, Lister also went through a psychological struggle. How could he not feel sorry for giving up such a big piece of fat?

But he still gave up the benefits he had obtained, which was a maturity of mind.

Verut sighed in his heart that the children of the Augusta family were already able to stand on their own.

Being able to resist temptation requires extremely strong willpower and clear goals.

Lister knew what he wanted and could control his desires.

If they had not gone to the interstellar, Virut would have definitely suggested that Derek kill Lister to prevent a quarrel between brothers.

But now, this is a good thing.

However, there is still a lack of experience.

Virut thought for a moment and put forward his own suggestion: "Your idea is good. This way, we can better win the hearts of the upper class of the Blue Star Federation and strengthen our credibility. However... I think we can change the way. First accept the tribute, and then divide this new planetary system, retaining only the right to govern and tax."

Compared with completely pushing the territory out, enfeoffment avoids the huge consumption of developing the territory, and can also benefit from tax revenue sharing in the future.

In addition, governance is very important and is conducive to centralization.

Finally, we took the opportunity to confirm the master-slave relationship and further reconcile.

There are also many other benefits, so it can be said that it serves multiple purposes.

When Liszt heard it, he thought it was very wonderful: "This method is better than thousands of troops."

He had a plan in mind and immediately said: "Then I will listen to you, Uncle Virut, accept the donation first, and then find an opportunity to grant a title, fief, and other rewards to win the hearts of everyone.

In addition...leave some of it to your uncles as reward for your efforts. "

With authority in hand, everything can be decided by oneself naturally. In addition, reserving part of the territory for the old subordinates is another way of emphasizing the authority of the duke.

Everyone has their own understanding of power. Liszt does not blindly follow Virut, he has his own understanding.

Moreover, even if there are some mistakes and omissions, he has the confidence to bear them.

For those in a superior position, the cost of trial and error may be high, but their ability to withstand it is also stronger.

Virut had no objection to this. He did not want to be a powerful minister in front of Liszt and control all his thoughts.

After all, there is no point in doing this. There is someone more powerful above Liszt.
