Chapter 1064 The hanging heart is completely dead

The Star Cluster United Army claims that it is neutral and will not participate in the fight between the member states of the Star Cluster United Army, but this neutrality is not complete.

After all, the Star Cluster United Army was jointly funded by all member states, without independent finances, and the personnel were sent by various countries to form a loose army.

In this case, there must be many people who listen to the big money. If a company is jointly established, a few people will be sent to check the accounts, let alone an army.

In fact, there are many factions within the army. It just looks like a whole. If it is invaded by foreign enemies, it can still perform its original work, but if there is a problem inside, it will be a mess.

So it is inevitable that there will be some bias within the Star Cluster United Army. However, there are 55 member states of the Star Cluster United Army, and the big money can't be too rash. At least on the surface, the Star Cluster United Army must remain neutral.

But as the war continues, it's hard to say.

The 55 member states of the Star Cluster United Army are not all the same size. Small countries like the Storm Kingdom that only control one or two star systems account for the vast majority, resulting in the shares of the establishment of the Star Cluster United Army being actually in the hands of big countries.

It just so happens that the Red Maple Republic and the Rotating Water Federation are the first and second investors, which is equivalent to the first brother and the second brother on the list fighting.

The two have the greatest influence within the Star Cluster United Army. Now that the war has just been declared, there will not be any chaos, but over time, the Star Cluster United Army will be forced to take sides.

The materials consumed by a full-scale war are not comparable to 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 here, and you, the Star Cluster United Army, are asking me for money?

If the war continues, the Red Maple Republic and the Rotating Water Federation will no longer continue to invest in the Star Cluster United Army, or even go a step further and directly ask the part of the Star Cluster United Army that they have invested in to return to the country to participate in the war. In this case, what should the Star Cluster United Army do?

This will have a huge impact. When the time comes, all the companies will withdraw their investments and personnel, and the Star Alliance will exist in name only. It may even lead to the collapse of the entire Star Alliance, and the collapse of the current laws. A large number of neutral space stations will become no-man's land. You either have to rely on a certain country or wait to be robbed by pirates.

The loss of a large number of space stations will further damage trade and transportation between countries, and the economic contraction, inflation and other consequences caused by it may cause all member states of the Star Alliance to fall into a long-term state of malaise.

Just like one day, the European Union disintegrated, and all countries played their own games, without a unified currency, no tariff preferences, and no visa exemption.

In fact, this consequence can be seen by just looking at how bad the economy is after Brexit. What's more, the Star Alliance is so large that the consequences are even more difficult to calculate.

And don't forget that the Star Alliance is just a known one. Apart from anything else, there is a Beso Empire next to it that is stronger than the 55 member states combined. Once you disintegrate, it is not clear whether they will start to invade.

Thinking about this consequence, it is not difficult to guess why the war between the Red Maple Republic and the Rotating Water Federation is the headline.

Recyclers actually do everything, but the unspoken rule is that they will not directly participate in the war, which is also the biggest difference between recyclers and mercenaries.

But if the situation continues to develop, it is not a question of whether you are willing or not, you may be involved.

With the size of recyclers, even recyclers running around with starships, in the face of such a terrifying war scale, they are just small insects crushed by the wheels of history, not worth mentioning at all.

Of course, Alyssa is unwilling to participate in the war. Now she has two choices.

One is to continue to chase the starship, and run away immediately after retaking the starship, to the other side of the big hole. If the war spreads over, then continue to run, and it is not impossible to develop in the Beso Kingdom.

The second is to go to the capital of the Rotating Water Federation immediately and deliver the information in Emma and Sun Lin's hands. The consequence of doing so is likely that the Swan will have to join the Rotating Water Federation. Even if it does not join, the Red Maple Republic will regard the Swan as an enemy, and it will be even more difficult to escape.

As far as Alyssa's own mood is concerned, she definitely wants to chase the starship, but she can't ignore the Rotating Water Federation at all, because her starship was built by the Rotating Water Federation.

To put it more mercenaryly, even if her starship cannot be recovered, it is not difficult to help the Rotating Water Federation and let them build a new starship for Alyssa.

After weighing the pros and cons, Alyssa still couldn't let go of her starship. She decided to continue to the original goal, but it was just a last attempt to recapture the starship. If it still failed this time, she would go to help the Rotating Water Federation first.

In fact, going to the Rotating Water Federation is also on the way, and it is not a waste of time. However, considering that the Red Maple Republic and the Rotating Water Federation have declared war, the Swan's next route must be planned carefully, and it must avoid the star field where there may be fleet battles.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Even with pulse flight and jump, going to the next star system is almost like going on a long journey, but for the void, these methods are still not advanced enough, and it still takes a lot of time to travel.

The bridge cannot be full all the time, especially since there are only a few crew members on the Swan. Li Chengxi hates driving a warship for long distances. Unless there is an emergency, most of the time the bridge is on duty in rotation.

This time it was Alyssa and An Yun's turn to squat on the bridge. They took out a pack of nutritious jelly and sucked it, just as a meal.

"The jump point is approaching, and the reactor is working normally."

After hearing An Yun's report, Alyssa operated it in the captain's seat and finally pressed the jump button.

With a twist, the trace of the Swan disappeared from the original star field. When the white light covering the bridge dispersed, it came to a new star field.

From a distance, you can see the huge colony satellite in front of you, as well as a large number of ships around that are also heading to the colony satellite.

This is Alyssa's original target. She plans to wait here for the starship to enter the port and then find a way to take it back.

After Alyssa's starship was taken away, according to Eunice's intelligence, it has been wandering around multiple neutral space stations between the Red Maple Republic and the Swirl Water Federation, but it is unknown what it wants to do.

But it is certain that you will definitely be able to squat here.

As the distance gets closer, Alyssa sent her identity identification information to the tower and asked the air traffic control to arrange a berth.

The communication with the air traffic control was quickly connected, and the air traffic control said to Alyssa in surprise:

"Captain Alyssa Li? Are you going to port again?"

"Again?"

"According to our records, your starship just left the port about three hours ago, using the identity of your deputy captain Carlos. Don't you know?"

Alyssa's heart was hanging, and now it was completely dead.
