Chapter 1064: The hanging heart is completely dead
The Constellation United Army claims that it is neutral and will not participate in the battles between the members of the Constellation United, but this neutrality is actually not complete.
After all, the Constellation United Army was jointly funded by all member states. It has no independent finances, and its personnel are sent by various countries to form a loose army.
In this case, there must be a lot of people who listen to the big money owner. If you open a joint venture company, you will send a few people to check the accounts, let alone an army.
There are actually many factions within the army. It just looks like a whole. If it is invaded by a foreign enemy, it can still perform its original work, but if there is an internal problem, it will be chaos.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be bias within the Constellation United Army. However, there are 55 member states of the Constellation Alliance, and the big sponsors cannot make too many mistakes. At least on the surface, the Constellation Alliance must remain neutral.
But as the war continued, that was hard to say.
Not all of the 55 member states in the Constellation Alliance are equally big. Small countries like the Kingdom of Storms that only control one or two galaxies account for the vast majority. As a result, the shares in the establishment of the Constellation Alliance are actually in the hands of the big countries.
It just so happens that the Red Maple Republic and the Xuanshui Federation are the first and second investors, which is equivalent to a fight between the No. 1 brother on the list and the No. 2 brother on the list.
The two have the greatest influence within the Star Cluster United Army. The war has just been declared, so there won't be any trouble yet, but as time goes by, the Star Cluster United Army will be forced to take sides.
The materials consumed by a full-scale war are not comparable to those of small-scale conflicts or so-called special military operations. After the country declares a state of war, all factories will serve the war.
In this case, the country's funds will be consumed quickly. There is a war going on here, and your Constellation Alliance is asking me for money?
If the war continues, neither the Red Maple Republic nor the Spinning Water Federation will continue. Contribute money to the Allied Stars Army, or go one step further and directly require the part of the Allied Stars that they have funded to return home to join the war. In this case, what should the Allied Stars do?
This impact is very large. When each company withdraws its investment and personnel, the Star Cluster Alliance will exist in name only. It may even lead to the collapse of the entire Star Cluster Alliance and the collapse of the current laws. A large number of neutral space stations have become no-no-no zones. You must either defect to a certain country or wait to be robbed by pirates.
Losing a large number of space stations will also further damage trade and transportation between countries, causing economic contraction, inflation and other consequences, which may put all member countries of the Constellation United into a long-term state of malaise.
Just like one day, the European Union disintegrated, and all countries were doing their own thing. There was no unified currency, no tariff preferences, and no visa exemption.
In fact, you can get a glimpse of this consequence just by looking at the economic expansion of the UK after Brexit. Not to mention that with such a large scale of the Star Group, the consequences are even more difficult to calculate.
And don’t forget, the Star Alliance is only one of the known ones. Not to mention, there is the Beso Empire next to it, which is stronger than the 55 member states combined. Once you disintegrate, will they start to invade? This is all Not sure.
Thinking about this consequence, it is not difficult to guess why the war between the Red Maple Republic and the Xuanshui Federation is a front-page headline.
Recyclers actually do everything, but the unspoken rule is that they will not directly participate in wars. This is also the biggest difference between recyclers and mercenaries.
But if things continue to develop, it won't be a matter of whether you are willing or not, and you may very well be involved.
Given the size of a recycler, even a recycler driving a starship all over the place would be nothing more than a small bug run over by the wheels of history in the face of such a terrifying scale of war, not worth mentioning at all.
Alyssa is of course unwilling to participate in the war, and now she has two choices before her.
One is to continue chasing the starship. After retaking the starship, immediately run away to the other side of the big hole. If the war spreads, then continue running. It is not impossible to develop in the Beso Kingdom.
The second is to go to the capital of the Spinning Water Federation immediately and send the information in the hands of Emma and Sun Lin. The consequence of doing so is likely that the Swan will have to join the Spinning Water Federation. Even if it does not join, the Red Maple Republic will It will also regard the Swan as an enemy, making it harder to escape.
As far as Alyssa's own mood is concerned, she definitely wants to chase the starship, but it is absolutely not possible to ignore the Spinning Water Federation at all. Her starship itself was built by the Spinning Water Federation. To put it bluntly, even if his starship cannot be recovered, it is not difficult to help the Spinning Water Federation and let them build a new starship for Alyssa.
After careful consideration, Alyssa still couldn't let go of her starship. She decided to continue to the original target. This was just a last attempt to recapture the starship. If she failed this time, she would first go to help the Spinning Water Federation.
In fact, it is also a convenient way to go to the Spinning Water Federation, and it is not a waste of time. However, considering that the Red Maple Republic and the Spinning Water Federation have declared war, the Swan's next route must be planned carefully, and it must avoid planets where fleets may fight. domain.

Even with pulse flight and jump, going to the next galaxy is almost like a long trip, but for the void, these methods are still not advanced enough, and traveling still takes a lot of time.
It is impossible for the bridge to be full all the time, especially since there are only a few crew members on the Swan itself, and Li Chengqi hates traveling long distances in a battleship. Unless there is an emergency, the bridge is full most of the time. Rotate duty.
This time it was Alyssa and An Yun's turn to squat on the bridge. They took out a pack of nutritional jelly and sucked it in, treating it like a meal.
"The transition point is approaching and the reactor is working normally."
After hearing An Yun's report, Alyssa made some operations on the captain's seat and finally pressed the jump button.
With a burst of distortion, the Swan disappeared from the original star field. When the white light covering the bridge dispersed, it came to a new star field.
From far away, you can see the huge colonial satellite directly in front of you, as well as a large number of ships around it that are also heading to the colonial satellite.
This was Alyssa's original goal. She planned to wait for the starship to enter the port here and then find a way to take it back.
After Alyssa's starship was taken away, according to Eunice's intelligence, she had been wandering around multiple neutral space stations between the Red Maple Republic and the Swirling Water Federation, but she didn't know what she wanted to do.
But what is certain is that you will definitely be able to squat here.
As the distance got closer, Alyssa sent her identification information to the tower and asked air traffic control to arrange a berth.
The communication on the air traffic control side was quickly connected. The air traffic controller was a little surprised and said to Alyssa:
"Captain Alyssa Li? Are you going to enter the port again?"
"again?"
"According to our records, your starship just left port about three hours ago, using the identity of your deputy captain Carlos. Don't you know?"
Alyssa's hanging heart was completely dead now.
