Chapter 347 Denver Agreement
"The government has reached an agreement with the Revolutionary Front of Colombia and the United Labour Organization of Colombia regarding the current situation... The three parties will immediately cease fire, open the flow of civilians and civilian goods in the areas controlled by the three parties, exchange prisoners, and reach a temporary consensus—to continue to exist as the United States of Colombia, with the military forces of the three parties remaining in the areas currently controlled, and to continue to strive for the reunification of the country in a peaceful manner in the future."
"The United States Emergency Government regrets the position held by the Southern insurgents and will continue its fight against them..."
On Air Force One, Alice breathed a sigh of relief. Although the three parties had their own ulterior motives in the negotiations, they still reached an agreement that was acceptable to all parties—even though the agreement did not actually solve any problems other than the ceasefire.
But everyone knows that continuing the civil war, which has been going on for almost two and a half years, is bad for everyone. Significant food shortages have appeared in the areas controlled by each side, major cities, especially those on the front lines, have been almost completely destroyed, and many soldiers are showing signs of war-weariness. Even the front lines, which have now been revitalized because of Ocas, are in the same situation.
During the Battle of Mojave, the first instance of an entire company surrendering occurred. This company, comprised of former California Republican Army soldiers, was deployed to the front lines without much retraining. However, the problems within the People's Armed Forces didn't end there; the army was bloated, and the issue of discharged wounded soldiers persisted…
Alice was eager to solve the problem immediately, but when she landed in Los Santos, she realized how ridiculous her idea was—even in the region where the Orcas system was located, a significant portion of the administrative modules still relied on manual processing, and the military's acceptance of such intelligent systems was not high. Even if the Orcas military system proved its advanced organization and planning, it still could not avoid opposition from the military's conservatives.
The new organizational structure of the front, which was built by Alice herself, was no longer under her personal control. This was her firm belief. As administrative power was transferred to Ocas and the people's vote, many things changed slightly.
In short, even if Alice returned to the West as a “hero of the Front Revolution,” it was merely the end of a job for her, and at this stage of the Colombian revolution, her personal influence was negligible.
"Alice."
After getting off the plane, the first person to find her was Rafis Yao, who only said one sentence: "Let's go back to Star City. There are some things we need you to do."
What Alicia sent was the hope for the entire civilization on Amelansi to move to the next stage—the FTL engine, a machine used by humans ten thousand years ago to move rapidly through the universe. Based on the cosmic rules discovered by humans observing space whales, people invented this core for utilizing inter-galactic pathways.
Now, such things are being analyzed by the most brilliant and intelligent minds in the universe, but where is the universe organization itself headed?
Since the Colombian Civil War began, in order to cope with the current situation, the Universal Star Group has recruited hundreds of thousands of soldiers from all over the world, including a large number of Amelansi, Seres and Colombians. These forces now exist under the designation of "Universal Star Defense Department". Now that the Colombian Civil War has come to an end, what to do with these soldiers remains a question.
Alice looked at the First Combat Group of the Star Defense Force in front of her. The 10,000 agents who originally came to the West Coast with Alice became the initial military instructors of the West Columbia Revolutionary Front. They were then recruited from various places and sent to Star City for training. The expanded members who came to the West Coast became the backbone of the West Columbia Revolutionary Front's "International Brigades" and were responsible for the main force of the assault on the California Army on the West Coast.
Some of them came simply to make a living, some wanted to realize their dreams of being soldiers, and some were attracted by the name Alice, but what attracted most of them was the propaganda that "after completing combat missions, there is an opportunity to become a citizen of Star City".
The Stars of the Universe and Stars City are not unknown organizations to the outside world. Since the establishment of Stars City and the Stars City Suez Global Canal, this "dream city" has been talked about. It is a super-modern metropolis. Since journalist Elgar Snow interviewed the Stars of the Universe Group, people have been attracted by its "social experiment". The Stars of the Universe "social experiment" has created an unprecedented earthly paradise. Here, people do not have to endure day-to-day labor, nor do they have to suffer oppression from bureaucrats or capitalists.
“We are working to build a post-scarcity society, in which material resources are extremely abundant and the means of production are truly owned by all the people—what you need, you do not buy from merchants, but directly from producers, or—you produce it yourself.”
The news about the Star Group at the time remains a major event in the news industry, and it was one of the triggers for the first Star Group-Victoria War. Thanks to the Suez Canal, every ship traveling through it had to pay tolls to the port authorities.
The actions taken to defend this society demonstrated the strength of this post-scarcity society—when the Victorian Empire was at its peak, an entire main fleet of the ocean, along with hundreds of thousands of marines, perished in the sea, breaking the backbone of the Victorian Western Ocean Navy.
And now, the hundreds of thousands of people from the Universal Stars Group are here. Although they are on the same side, in the end, they are the "International Brigade," the troops of the Universal Stars Group, in other words, Alice's personal private army.
More than one person could see this connection: Alice Delalaye, the "head of the Universal Star Group," was an extremely dangerous, powerful, and charismatic leader, as well as the "Mother of the Federal Republic of Amelia" and a member of the Revolutionary Committee of the Revolutionary Front of West Colombia.
Even Alice knew that such a title was too dazzling, and that she would be regarded as the sun.
But she also knew that the sun was too dazzling and too bright; it could blind and fanatical people. If the sun were to go out one day, it would be a catastrophe that would destroy the world.
She wants to be the one who extinguishes the sun with her own hands, not the sun itself.
Alice looked around and saw the other executive committee members of the Revolutionary Front of Colombia standing beside her. Alice knew that they wanted to hear her opinion again, after all, she had led the front to an initial victory in the revolution.
"Comrades, it seems that I, Alice de la Lere, will be leaving Colombia soon."
Alice made up her mind. The recent negotiations between the Front and the Confederation were going very smoothly, even more so than the ceasefire agreement in Denver. The two sides decided to reach an agreement to organize a general congress of revolutionaries throughout Colombia and unite as one.
If this is accomplished, then the Front and the Workers' Union will effectively control most of Colombia, and at that time, most of Colombia will be dyed crimson.
Of course, this was achieved by Jack Reed against the majority opinion, and the specifics are still under discussion.
“We want to maintain a certain identity within the front. The revolution in Colombia will probably have to be entrusted to you all. As you all know, we were instrumental in the establishment of Amelansi and have many friends there.”
Alice's official report has been submitted. Everyone knows that Alice, this revolutionary, is not attached to the front lines or Colombia's rights. She demands that Colombia join the "Alliance for Human Revolution," an alliance that will eventually encompass all proletarian societies.
