NOVPUBChapter 1102: Chapter 1097: Situation 2_1 Chapter 1102 -1097: Situation 2_1 By the time Finn Lewis stepped out of the conference room, Ethan Wren and others who followed behind him were filled with emotion.
The matter had now been settled, which meant that Finn Lewis had become the supreme leader of the entire Galactic Federation, or rather, Finn Lewis had become the actual ruler of the Galactic Federation.
The question was, how long had it taken Finn Lewis to arrive at this point?
If memory served, the youthful face that Finn Lewis wore was not the result of any drugs or gene optimization, but was simply the youthful face that Finn Lewis naturally should have.
And with such a youthful countenance, adding the insignificant first twenty or so years spent on a native planet on Earth, Finn Lewis had made no remarkable impact at all.
Yet now, he had become the actual ruler who controlled the entire Heritage System, the speed of which could be described as the difference between heaven and earth.
Perhaps only a person with extraordinary talents could achieve such a result.
...
Miles was even more astonished, for it had not been long since he had come into contact with Finn Lewis.
He had watched step by step as Finn Lewis ascended to his current position, and that timeframe seemed even shorter from Miles’s perspective.
Compared to Finn Lewis, they seemed to have wasted their lives like dogs.
The journalists who had been notified by Finn Lewis had been waiting here early on. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
When Finn Lewis and the remaining heads of the Nine Noble Families of the royal family—oh, that should now be the Eight Great Noble Families—walked out of the conference room, all the journalists excitedly stood up.
They all knew that what followed would probably be major news.
The announcement Finn Lewis was about to make was sure to be far more significant than any news he had announced before.
It was a surprise that a conclusion was reached so quickly, as conventional wisdom suggested that such meetings of influential individuals would take at least a few days, or even a month or two, to conclude.
Yet this meeting had reached a conclusion in just a few hours.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the press, I am here simply representing the Supreme Committee of the Federation and all the Eight Noble Families of the royal family to announce the following few matters.
These matters will be the largest changes for the future of the Federation, and they are to consolidate all the energy and strength of the Federation to face a brand new enemy,” Finn Lewis began his opening statement.
Finn Lewis had held many press conferences before, but this was his first time hosting such a grand one.
This time he wasn’t just addressing the people on Earth, but the countless billions across the entire Heritage System.
“First, the Federation will put an end to the high degree of autonomy previously held by each family clan.
The territories of the family clans will remain unchanged, but the Federation will strengthen its management, and all resources and facilities of the clans must be fully transparent.
Furthermore, each family clan must pay twenty percent of their annual taxes to the official coffers of the Federation.”
“Second, the Federation will establish a military department to form the true military forces of the Federation.
The interim source of the military will come from the previous Eight Noble Families and the fleets under my name, which will form the current military of the Federation.
This will be a complete system, and while the duties of the Inspectorate will remain unchanged, the task of the military is to protect the safety of all family clans under the Federation.
Theoretically, within each family clan, in addition to their own Heritage System defense force, there should be no presence of any large-scale fleets.”
“Third, the Federation will procure materials from each family clan.
These materials will be purchased at 80% of the market price, to carry out large-scale procurement for the construction of the military to face the brand new enemy coming from the Heritage Galaxy.”
