Chapter 348, Too Late to Regret

"Brother Fu, something big has happened in the Earth Federation."

Li Fu's secretary Ding Xuan was holding the latest news sent back by the Empire Embassy in the Earth Federation, and looked very anxious.

"What's going on?"

Li Fu frowned and asked immediately after hearing it.

"The Victoria Galaxy, Columbus Galaxy, Beichuan Galaxy, Aberdeen Galaxy, and Canis Minor Galaxy of the Earth Federation have all declared independence from the Earth Federation."

Ding Xuan handed the document to Li Fu and quickly told him the main things.

"There will really be a day of division. History will not deceive people."

Li Fu raised his eyebrows after hearing it, took the document and began to read it quickly. At Li Fu's speed of reading ten lines at a glance, he had finished reading it all in a few seconds.

"When the Earth Federation was founded, I saw that they would have this day. Old Tang, Old Tang, seeing the current situation, I wonder if your coffin lid will not be able to hold it down."

Li Fu smiled slightly. Decades ago, Li Fu saw the crisis and cracks within the Earth Federation. Without a common cultural foundation, the forced unification would only lead to endless quarrels within the Earth Federation. The serious imbalance in the development of various countries within the Federation was destined to split in the future.

Tang Yunshan wishfully believed that the differences and contradictions within the Federation were temporary. He sacrificed the interests of China and promoted the unification of the Earth Federation. Now it seems really ridiculous. He was smart all his life, but confused for a moment.

"Convene the cabinet government to discuss the response policy. Such a major change has happened in the Earth Federation. Our compatriots may need our help at that time."

Li Fu pondered for a while and finally decided to help. The various star systems in the Earth Federation have declared independence one after another. There will definitely be conflicts among overseas students. At that time, the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Earth Federation may suffer. Naturally, Li Fu cannot stand idly by.

Soon, in the conference room in the Imperial Palace, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet Zhong Yun and many cabinet ministers were all present. Some who could not come in person also participated in the meeting through the virtual world.

Zhong Yun is the second Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Fang Zheng retired more than ten years ago because of his advanced age and worsening health. Zhong Yun, who was originally the Minister of Finance of the Imperial Cabinet, took over the position of Prime Minister. Although Zhong Yun practiced Yuanli, he was already very old when he practiced, about the same age as Fang Zheng, and it is estimated that he will not be able to do it for too long.

"I think everyone should have understood the situation on the Earth Federation side. What we need to discuss next is what should our Empire do?"

"What should we do? Of course we should stand aside and watch. Whether the Earth Federation lives or dies has nothing to do with our Empire."

Yu Liang always had a smile on his face. He was obviously very happy to see the current situation of the Earth Federation. He said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Whether the Earth Federation lives or dies has nothing to do with our Empire. We don't need to pay too much attention to it. However, if the Earth Federation splits, there will definitely be bloody conflicts. I think we still need to help our compatriots in the Earth Federation."

Chen Bin still understands Li Fu the best. He knows that Li Fu doesn't care much about the life and death of the Earth Federation, but he attaches great importance to the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Earth Federation. There are still more than one billion descendants of Yan and Huang in the Earth Federation.

"I think what Chen Bin said makes sense. We can ignore the lives of other people in the Earth Federation, but we can't stand by and watch our fellow countrymen die. I guess Wang Yuan has lost control of the army. The Earth Federation's population of China is already decreasing. Now the armies of various galaxies have rebelled. I don't know if the army in the solar system can be controlled. We must send troops."

Zhong Yun, with a head full of white hair, has a ruddy face and a good complexion. He has been able to rise from a small financial officer to the prime minister of the empire. His life is full of legends. His voice is still loud and he also expressed his support.

"I also support sending troops. No matter what, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. We can't watch our compatriots being killed."

"I have no objection."

Others also nodded one after another. For the empire, the reason for sending troops to the Earth Federation is to protect its compatriots. As for the sovereignty of the Earth Federation, it is naturally not a matter for the empire to consider.

"Order Luo Xiaoyao to lead the Imperial Royal Legion from the Centaurus Galaxy to the Solar System, and order Liu Xuling's Imperial Garrison Corps to depart from the Aquila Galaxy to the Solar System. If they do not do anything radical to our descendants of Yan and Huang, we do not need to interfere with them."

"But if someone takes the opportunity to massacre our descendants of Yan and Huang, tell Luo Xiaoyao and Liu Xuling to beat them up, beat them hard, and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Those who offend the mighty Han will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Li Fu began to issue orders. The mobilization of the imperial army has always been relatively strict, and it requires the consent of both Li Fu and the Imperial Cabinet before it can be mobilized.

"Brother Fu, Zhao Dongye requests to talk to you."

Li Fu's order had just been issued, and Ding Xuan ran over and said in a hurry.

"Take it."

Li Fu nodded. Of the four people who shared the same dormitory with him in college, only Li Fu and Zhao Dongye are still alive. Qian Jin and Wang Wanli had passed away more than ten years ago.

Soon, Zhao Dongye's figure appeared in the virtual call in the conference room. Zhao Dongye, who did not practice Yuanli, was able to live to this day because he had been the president of the Earth Federation and had a special person to take care of him. In addition, Zhao Dongye himself was a person who exercised vigorously, so his health had always been very good.

However, even if he took good care of himself, he was over 100 years old. Now his hair fell out and he lay in bed with wrinkles on his face. He was no longer as handsome as he was back then.

"You are still exactly the same as you were back then, without any change."

Across the distant void, Zhao Dongye couldn't help but sighed.

"Dongye, are you in good health?"

Li Fu didn't know what to say for a moment. His old friends in the Earth Federation were getting fewer and fewer, and the only one he could talk to was Zhao Dongye.

"It's OK. I can still live for a few more years."

Zhao Dongye smiled optimistically, revealing his mouth with no teeth.

"I think you should know why I came to you. Something big happened in the Federation. We have lost control of the situation. I hope you can help us."

Zhao Dongye didn't say anything nonsense. He was struggling to speak now. Originally, this had nothing to do with him. He was about to be buried. But Wang Yuan found Zhao Dongye and hoped that Zhao Dongye could ask Li Fu for help in person. There was no way, Zhao Dongye could only shamelessly find Li Fu.

"If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place? The Earth Federation is destined to split sooner or later. Even if our empire sends troops to intervene now, the final outcome will be the same."

Li Fu smiled and shook his head.

"I know. Actually, when I was in that position, I knew very well that every federal meeting could not discuss anything. There were always quarrels. The split was expected. Even though I suppressed many separatist forces with iron-blooded means, it was just a temporary solution."

To Li Fu's surprise, Zhao Dongye sighed deeply and expressed his deep thoughts. Even he, who had been the president of the Federation, felt this way. It is conceivable how deep the rifts within the Earth Federation are.

"This time, I just hope that you can come and help for the sake of our more than one billion compatriots. I don't want you to help quell the riots, but to help protect the Chinese people scattered in various galaxies and planets. We have sacrificed too much."

"Alas!"

Zhao Dongye sighed again, expressing his helplessness.

"We will help you with this."

Li Fu nodded solemnly and agreed. In fact, Zhao Dongye didn't need to say anything. Li Fu himself had already decided to send troops to protect the descendants of Yan and Huang. As for the future of the Earth Federation, this was really not what Li Fu cared about.

"Thank you, thank you!"

After receiving Li Fu's affirmative answer, Zhao Dongye was so excited that he wanted to do it. Someone beside him hurriedly helped him up.

"No need to thank me. This is what I should do. Blood is thicker than water. After all, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang."

Li Fu smiled and shook his head. Looking at Zhao Dongye, he felt a sense of emotion in his heart. Time is ruthless. If it weren't for the practice of Yuanli, he would be almost the same as Zhao Dongye now, or like Qian Jin, he would have turned into a pile of yellow earth and dissipated in smoke.

"Alas, Li Fu, you are right. At any time, we should strengthen the trunk and weaken the branches. Tang Yunshan was too wishful at the beginning. The situation between the countries and the earth on the earth is too complicated. If we forcefully unify them, they will eventually split."

"If we had not chosen to unify the earth and establish the Earth Federation, perhaps everything would be different now. Maybe the entire starry sky would belong to our descendants of Yan and Huang. Why would it come to this?"

Zhao Dongye became a little nagging. He said all the things he had never said to anyone before in front of Li Fu. At that time, he regretted it very much. He regretted the establishment of the Earth Federation. China could be said to have picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons. For the so-called Earth Federation, it gave up its bright future.

"Fortunately, Li Fu, you have already separated early and conquered a piece of starry sky outside, opening up a new world for our descendants of Yan and Huang. Otherwise, it would be a crime that would be hard to forgive even if you die a hundred times."

"The current policy of the empire is very good. We must stick to it. We must not open up immigration because of the Virgin Mary complex. Otherwise, it will inevitably bury endless hidden dangers."
