"We have already received the first batch of released captives. Here, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Light Year for his sincerity. I am here this time to determine the time and place for the second negotiation, as well as some details that need to be determined during this negotiation." Terms. If everything goes well, we hope to be able to finalize the first supplementary agreement in this negotiation..." Hathaway said carefully.

Lin Xi nodded and said, "The draft agreement can be sent to me first, and I will pass it on to Jungui."

Hathaway nodded and looked into the distance. Within the range of sight, groups of federal prisoners of war were getting off the ark, some were walking towards the temporary barracks, and some were getting out of the temporary camp and changing to the newly built camp. Farther away, a large number of soldiers were building new camps, and countless building materials were moved from the ark, slowly turning into barracks.

"Are these the second batch of prisoners of war to be handed over?" Hathaway asked.

Lin Xi replied, "Yes, a total of 100,000 people."

"Can I go and see their residence and living environment?"

"certainly."

Lin Xi led the way, and the little princess followed her to the nearest camp. Li Xinyi walked beside Lin Xi.

From beginning to end, the three girls never shook hands.

Whether a camp is big or small, the barracks all have airtight doors, and you can take off your armor inside, and still have a minimum of comfort. But in the end, this is a prison cell, so each room is divided into upper, middle and lower three-story Datong bunk, and there is an aisle outside the bunk, allowing two people to sit side by side. For the general living environment, you can refer to the submarine of the parent star era, and it must be the submarine of the northern giant bear.

But the little princess was once a prisoner, and it wasn't light years back then. Although she herself has never enjoyed the real captive life, she has seen the life of three people in one square meter. In that kind of cell, no matter how strong two muscles meet, they have to adapt to each other, and finally become a tight plane.

Compared with that time, the life of these federal prisoners of war is simply paradise.

However, the little princess raised doubts as usual, thinking that Light Year did not give prisoners of war enough treatment and respect in accordance with humanitarian principles. Less than eight dishes, unlimited supply of fruit and sweets, more than one hour of free activity time per day, and facilities such as gymnasium, entertainment room, and even swimming pool. In addition, afternoon tea and supper are also essential.

The little princess was asking a lot of money, and Lin Xi was not an easy-going lamp. He immediately showed that being able to slap the little princess's butt that day was not a fluke.

"These requirements are very reasonable, and we can and should meet them. However, according to the usual practice, after the signing of the armistice agreement and before receiving the ransom, we have the right to collect the necessary living expenses. First of all, these barracks are one-off, It was specially built for prisoners of war, and it will be scrapped after the handover is completed. But don't worry, these building materials are very cheap, and the cost per square meter is only 150,000..."

"In terms of meals, we can configure 9 appetizers, 21 main dishes, and more than 50 kinds of fruit and desserts. We will order the limited edition food making machine of Deep Space Foods to serve you. Of course, a small fee is required, and every calorie Only need to pay 50 yuan is enough..."

...

"In the end, every 50 people can have a swimming pool, which is completely built according to the five-star standard. Of course, water is a scarce resource on planet 4, and we will only charge a cost price of 99.99 yuan per gram..."

In this way, the two chatted happily along the way, and saw the barracks, armor warehouse, restaurant and various auxiliary facilities. It took more than an hour just to watch it in one camp. Next, it was time to visit the construction site where the POWs worked.

Moderate labor by prisoners of war is permitted and a historical practice. From ancient times to the present, many POW camps were built by the prisoners themselves. The same is true for this batch of prisoners of war who are about to be released, and they will have a standard working time of 4 hours a day. Of course, it is impossible to assign them any confidential or complicated work, and the most they do are leveling the land and assembling barracks.

Hathaway's reason was to see if the prisoners of war had been abused. This was a legitimate request in name, but Li Xinyi believed that she was here to inform the time and content of the second negotiation, and she could leave after the news was delivered.

The girl quietly sent a message to Lin Xi: "She just wants to hang on!"

"Follow her." Lin Xi replied.

The girl was angry, and then remembered that Chu Jun was thousands of kilometers away, and the little fairy would not see anyone even if she waited another day. Naturally, she would never tell Chu Jungui the news that the little princess was here.

For some reason, since the last negotiation, the little princess pulled Chu Jungui and said a few words, and Li Xinyi felt awkward all over her body when she saw her.

But thinking that her trip was in vain, the girl was inexplicably happy. Then at this moment, I heard Lin Xi ask: "It seems that you and Jun Gui are very familiar, will your cooperation be very close in the future?"

It finally came to the critical stage... Li Xinyi immediately pricked up her ears.

Hathaway's expression was as usual, as if it was a very common question, and then the corners of her mouth slightly curved up, before she was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed, and she turned her head to look at the distant sky.

Lin Xi and Li Xinyi also looked in that direction at the same moment.

A small black dot appeared in the sky, approaching at a very high speed, and it was clear in a blink of an eye that it was a fighter plane. The distance was still far away, but the fighter plane suddenly turned over and aimed its tail at the front, and then the thrust of the engine turned into a strong brake, the speed decreased sharply, and then drew an arc, roared and landed, and slapped hard on the tarmac of the base.

Such a violent action shocked hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war.

The fighter plane landed too hard, and it took two more bounces before it landed steadily. All the prisoners of war who saw this scene subconsciously asked a question, are the people in the fighter plane still alive?

Suddenly there was a sound, and one engine of the fighter plane broke away from the body and fell to the ground. Then there were two more bang bangs, and two small explosions occurred in the machine body, ejecting several parts.

Only then did the cabin cover slowly open, and Chu Jungui jumped out from inside.

Hathaway's eyes lit up, she took the initiative to greet her, and said, "You're here!"

Before Chu Jungui could speak, Li Xinyi asked, "Why are you here?"

In an instant, the various components started at full speed, and in the end tactical deception prevailed. Chu Jun returned, "I want to make one final confirmation to see if anyone is willing to stay and work for Light Year."

The girl said angrily: "I've confirmed it three times! Hmph, I just want to cheat cheap labor."

Chu Jungui smiled and said: "The war has just ceased, and money is needed everywhere. It is always good to save some money."

After talking to the girl, he nodded to Lin Xi before he looked at Hathaway. With a calm demeanor, Hathaway stated the purpose of coming here, and then sent another draft of the supplementary agreement to Chu Jungui, and then said, "Can you walk with me?"

She asked like this, and Chu Jungui had no reason to refuse. So the two separated from Lin Xi and the girl, and walked around the camp.

The girl wanted to go straight to the monitoring center, but Lin Xi grabbed her and carried her to the office building. As soon as she entered the office, Lin Xi sent the girl a list of prisoners of war, asking her to do a final check.

The girl opened it with a bitter face, only to find that there are more than 10,000 names in the register.

Looking at the base filled with prisoners of war, Hathaway said: "I could only briefly explain it during the last negotiation. Now that I have some time, I can talk to you about the operating mechanism of the Federation in detail."

Chu Jungui nodded, "I'm listening."

"After thousands of years of evolution, our system has not changed much from its original design. In normal times, it can be said that elites rule the country, so decision-making will become very rational, profit-oriented, utilitarian and pragmatic. Sometimes I will take the initiative to pursue some noble behaviors."

Chu Jungui once worked hard on the federal political system. In fact, after thousands of years of mutual learning and struggle, the federal and dynastic systems are not too different. There is no fundamental difference between the presidential assembly and the cabinet assembly under a constitutional monarchy. It is nothing more than rights. The divisions and constraints are slightly different. In fact, the more factor that distinguishes the dynasty from the federation is culture.

As for the community, it is a hodgepodge of everything.

Hathaway continued: "Many people think that strength is the only language the Federation can understand, which is true in most cases. But these are not normal times. As the war progresses, the anger of the people is increasing. Savings, the voice against the war is getting smaller and smaller. The federal people are not afraid of sacrifice and death, just like the people of the dynasty. It's just that in the traditional concept, we like to use money to solve problems, not the lives of soldiers But if one day we have to make sacrifices, we will be fearless, and at that time, anyone who dares to oppose the war will be torn apart by the raging public opinion."

"Like 1,000 years ago?"

"Yes, when the Commonwealth was raided, all the populace exploded, and the only person who voted no on the declaration of war ended badly. Most of the time in the past, what people saw was a somewhat chaotic, often contradictory A utilitarian federation, forgetting what would become of us in an all-out war."

Chu Jungui nodded.

Hathaway stopped and said, "I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating a fact. Because I think this war is meaningless at all, and if it continues, it will enter a truly uncontrollable state. A full-scale war will not benefit anyone The benefits, the desired goals are now on the table."

"You mean the vertical line?"

Hathaway nodded, sighed, and said: "Yes, the war over there is escalating infinitely, and I don't even know what the dynasty wants. That's why I want you to make a big concession on the issue of ransom, don't provoke Domestic people. This amount of money is not important to you, but our people will be very sensitive to this number. Crassus is ready to make concessions in other places to completely end the war here. The war across the line is escalating in an all-round way, so we can't stop it even if we want to. At that time, no one in the Federation dared to say a truce."

Chu Jungui thought for a moment, then nodded slowly. Until now, Chu Jungui still doesn't understand why the dynasty is so resolute in promoting the war and destroying the Federation? But before humans entered the Star Sea era, territory and the destruction of countries were no longer the core purpose of great power wars in many cases. However, through the explanation of the little princess, Chu Jungui has made it clear that the federal system tends to be weak at home and tough at home, and this war is slipping into the abyss of being out of control.
