Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1064: The hanging heart is completely dead

The Star Cluster United Army claims that it is neutral and will not participate in the fights 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. It has no independent finances, and its personnel are sent by various countries to form a loose army combined together.

In this situation, there must be many people who listen to the big money sponsors. If they set up a joint venture company, they will send a few people to check the accounts, let alone an army.

In fact, there are many factions within the army. It only appears to be 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 in chaos.

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some bias within the Star Alliance. However, there are 55 member states in the Star Alliance, and the big money sponsor cannot be too rash. At least on the surface, the Star Alliance must remain neutral.

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

The 55 member states of the Star Cluster Alliance are not all of 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 for establishing the Star Cluster Alliance Army being 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 the number one and number two on the list fighting each other.

The two have the greatest influence within the Star Cluster United Army. Now that the war has just been declared, there won't be any trouble, 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 those of a small-scale conflict or so-called special military operations. Once a 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 you, the Star Cluster United Army, are asking me for money?
If the war continues, and both the Red Maple Republic and the Xuanshui Federation stop funding the Star Cluster United Army, or even go a step further and directly ask the Star Cluster United Army's own funded portion to return home and join the war, what should the Star Cluster United Army do in this case?
The impact will be huge. When the time comes, each company will withdraw its investment and personnel, and the Star Alliance Army will exist in name only. It may even lead to the collapse of the entire Star Alliance and the collapse of current laws. A large number of neutral space stations will become no-man's land. You can either join a 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, causing economic shrinkage, inflation and other consequences, which may cause all member states of the Star Cluster to fall into a long-term state of stagnation.

It’s like suddenly one day, the European Union collapsed, and all countries went their own way, with no unified currency, no tariff preferences, and no visa-free travel.

In fact, we can get a glimpse of this consequence by just looking at how bad the UK's economy has been after Brexit. Moreover, given the huge size of the Star Cluster Alliance, the consequences are even more difficult to calculate.

And don't forget that the Star Cluster 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 the consequences, it is not difficult to guess why the war between the Red Maple Republic and the Xuanshui Federation was 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 the situation continues to develop, it will not be a question of whether you are willing or not, and you may be involved in it.

Given the size of the recyclers, even those driving starships all over the place, in the face of such a horrific scale of war, they are nothing more than small bugs crushed by the wheels of history and are not worth mentioning at all.

Of course, Alyssa was unwilling to participate in the war, and now she had two choices.

One is to continue chasing the starship, and after taking it back, immediately run away to the other side of the big void. If the war spreads here, then keep running, and it is not impossible to develop in the Kingdom of Beso.

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

As far as Alyssa was concerned, she definitely wanted to chase the starship, but she couldn't ignore the Whirlpool Federation completely, because her starship was built by the Whirlpool Federation. To put it more mercenaryly, even if she couldn't get her starship back, it wouldn't be difficult to help the Whirlpool Federation and have 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 heading towards the original destination, but it was just a last attempt to take back the starship. If she failed this time, she would go to help the Xuanshui Federation first.

In fact, going to the Xuanshui Federation is on the way, so it doesn't waste time. However, considering that the Red Maple Republic and the Xuanshui Federation have declared war, the Swan's next route must be carefully planned, and it must avoid star regions where fleet battles may occur.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Even with pulse flight and jump, going to the next galaxy 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.

It is impossible for the bridge to be fully staffed at all times, especially since there are only a few crew members on the Swan. Li Chengxi really hates driving a warship on long journeys, so 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 both took out a bag 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 in the captain's seat and finally pressed the jump button.

Accompanied by a distortion, the Swan disappeared from the original star field, and when the white light covering the bridge dissipated, it arrived in a new star field.

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

This was Alyssa's original target. She planned to wait here for the starship to arrive at 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 several neutral space stations between the Red Maple Republic and the Whirlpool Federation, but no one knows what it wants to do.

But what is certain is that you will definitely find it if you wait here.

As the distance got closer, Alyssa sent her 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 with a little 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 that?"

Alyssa's hanging heart was completely dead now.
