A queen?
Mu Yunhua’s eyes widened. What was this?
“You didn’t hear wrong. Yun, I think you should be the queen and become the supreme ruler of the All-Stars Federation,” Chen Jin’s said.
“Why? You know that I’m not interested in power or being a queen.”
“But this may be a responsibility that you can’t evade. The future of the All-Stars Federation rests on having a steady and reliable ruler at its helm.”
“But… if you want to achieve a good centralized state power… There’s no need for me to take up the burden of the parliamentary eldership, or the most supreme leadership.” Mu Yunhua always felt that she was a scientist at heart. She was not meant to bury herself in government affairs every day. She was also a little tired and wanted to change her lifestyle.
“It’s useless, the citizens of the Federation will only acknowledge you. Others would become a dictator when they’ve experienced the taste of power for a long enough time and they will be leveled by public criticism. This will cause violent shockwaves. The senior administration of the Federation will fall into instability…. Power is like poison, and not everyone can resist its corruption.”
“But a feudal queen wouldn’t be accepted by people. For most countries, the democratic system is the current system in place. Moreover, because the queen or emperor holds the definite power, many incompetent and muddle-headed rulers had appeared in the process of changing powers. Such a system is no longer suitable for the present trend.”
“Others are indeed unsuitable, but you are an exception.”
Chen Jin listed the following points, “First of all, you are the leader who saved all human beings and led mankind into the light. You took your revenge and created the All-Stars Federation single-handedly. In terms of credit and effort, you are incomparable.”
“Secondly, you are a princess. You are the princess of the Great Hua Empire. You were born noble, with royal blood in your veins. You are destined to become a queen.”
“Also, we’ve been working together for so long and I’ve provided you with so much help, but until now, you still haven’t repaid me satisfactorily. I wonder how much of my total investment I can get back after you leave the central seat of power?”
“So, you need to continue working; continue serving the Federation. At the same time, you’ll also be working for me. Our cooperative relationship has not been terminated yet.”
In fact, this was Chen Jin’s real purpose.
Over the past few decades, he had invested a lot of resources into Mu Yunhua and provided help on countless occasions. This was not some kind of pastime to amuse a beautiful woman because he felt bored. There were careful thoughts and a purpose behind his actions. Why would he do such a lame and childish thing as an adult?
He did not send Mu Yunhua the advanced warships that he possessed solely to test their combat abilities.
Mu Yunhua was the chosen spokesperson for his interests. She would always be the representative for the interests of the All-Stars Federation and provide services and reciprocation to him. She would also be executing all the tasks he arranged…. This working relationship would continue until Chen Jin felt that the bills between them had been paid and one owed nothing to the other.
“This…”
Mu Yunhua immediately understood the meaning of his words and smiled bitterly. Yeah, it had been so many years. Who knew how much debt she owed to Jin? There was so much debt accumulated that she kind of did not feel like repaying him.
If she chose to leave the central seat of power, it would practically mean that she did not want to pay her debts. How would Jin ever agree to that?
“Ok, I was childish in my thinking. Jin, I might never be able to repay all the help that you’ve provided for me. But regardless, I still have to try to repay you. So, I’ll work for you in the days to come, I’ll help you do the few things that you need me to do.”
“Until the day you are satisfied.”
Mu Yunhua issued her promise.
Chen Jin nodded when he received this reply.
…
After a few months.
The All-Stars Federation Alliance, which was founded less than a year before, experienced a big event.
The leader of the Federation, who was once the princess of the Great Hua Empire, had rejected the request of the people and officials 18 times. At the 19th request, faced with an overwhelming petition and a public support rate of over 95% on the Internet that confirmed that everyone in the Federation sincerely wanted to hail her as the queen, she finally relented. She put on the gorgeous robe fit for a ruler and a grand crown.
She stepped onto the high platform and accepted the worship from her millions and billions of subjects amidst all the cheering.
The leader, savior, and helmsman of the Federation had now become their eternal queen. As a symbol of honor and glory, she would continue to lead the country and its subjects.
“The country that had originally run on a parliamentary system and was all about freedom had actually completed the transformation into an imperial regime so easily. Even though I expected opposition, there’s only very little of it. Just like this, I’ve become the queen to billions of people.”
After the celebration ceremony ended, Mu Yunhua felt a little depressed as she sat on the throne. The process was so smooth that she was thrown for a loop.
“This is very natural.”
Chen Jin’s voice sounded in her ears, “Most people have some sort of attachment to their mothers, and they feel more dependant on women who are mature and reliable. Memories of the matriarchal society from ancient times have been engraved in human genes… People can accept the leadership of a queen.”
“In addition to this, there is another important reason that everyone knows very well.”
“And that is my support and help, they are very important to the All-Stars Federation. Our partnership must be maintained.”
“Especially when it comes to the A-class warships like the Silver Gun Lord, or the powerful and invincible S-class warship, the ‘Black Emperor.’ With the current development standard of the Federation, you will not be able to produce such warships, not even in a hundred years…. Much less hold onto such weapons permanently.”
“Without my help, you might not even have survived, much less take revenge.”
“And you were the one who brought this opportunity to them. It is because of you that they can borrow advanced warships from me and a guarantee of security… You have the ‘golden finger’ that brings good luck and happiness to the people.”
“And you, who have the ‘golden finger,’ as long as you maintain a partnership with me, they would be able to have everything that they are enjoying now long-term.”
Therefore, she easily won the position of the queen and completed the transition to an imperial state in a short period of time.
“Ok, everything will be done according to you. Do whatever you want.”
Mu Yunhua gave a helpless smile. Then again, just what was this relationship? To be precise, the relationship that had been established between her Federation, even including herself, and the mysterious and powerful force represented by Chen Jin could not be regarded as a superior/subordinate relationship. But its essence was not dissimilar to the relationship between a man who was keeping and supporting a mistress.
However, the All-Stars Federation, unfortunately, needed such a relationship, it begged for support just like this type.
She even hoped that the Federation would receive a greater number of powerful A-class and S-class warships. The more the better, and the relationship would also become more solid.
…
After ascending the throne, the reform of the upper level of administration was quickly completed. The Queen + Parliament system guaranteed a good centralization of power and could also continue to attract elites.
As long as the supreme ruler was not particularly stupid, the prospects of this Federation would get better. They had a bright future.
…
Earth.
Before he knew it, three years had passed.
Chen Jin had been paying close attention to the situation on Earth. He paid attention to every move of the Protoss.
He had lived through the past three years with great caution.
In order to avoid attracting the attention and to dodge the relentless hounding by the Protoss Investigation Department, every single move made by the Chen family for these past few years could be thus described.
