Him and their stars

The so-called request for instructions is, of course, just an excuse. Since Charles Marvin is the plenipotentiary negotiator sent by Earth, he is of course authorized. To put it bluntly, when it comes to negotiations, regardless of how the other party is doing, one's own side must first unify its thinking.

However, this is not an easy task.

That night, in the conference room on the other side of the house that the negotiating team had temporarily commandeered, the second chairperson started banging the table against the chief executive. The shooting was so loud that the rest of the members expressed that they were under too much pressure and hid far away, not even daring to lean against the wall, leaving the conference room completely to the two bosses.

"What on earth are you thinking about? Did someone put those two Serabi girls in your room yesterday and swallowed your brain together with the roots of right and wrong?"

Marvin's face turned green and red, but he still said sternly: "Nonsense, they wanted to come and learn foreign languages ​​with me, but I sent them away on the spot to avoid suspicion! I am the chief negotiator this time! Your insult is not only an insult to me personally, but also an insult to the country! This time, I will pretend that I didn’t hear it, but there will definitely be no next time!"

"Mr. Marvin, so you are colluding with the beautiful His Royal Highness King Su to sell out the benefits our country deserves and our soldiers? This is also the job of the chief negotiator? So, whose will are you representing? From the community? From the empire?" Lina sneered.

"I represent everyone's will!" Charles Marvin roared, and then he realized that he was a little out of control. He quickly picked up the coffee cup and took a sip to block his distorted expression, and then he softened his tone and said: "Lina, it's not that serious. Our losses are almost negligible. The Star Gate is foolproof. And so many trophies have been captured. The combined fleet of the Cathayans was also crippled. Those big cats have been defeated for decades. I don’t dare to raise my eyes to look at us anymore. How do we talk about betrayal? Again, since we have achieved a de facto victory, we don’t need to worry too much about the final issues.”

“Has diplomatic appearance actually become a last-minute issue?”

"If we fail, that's not it; if we win, that's it!" Marvin said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"So, what do they mean by "accounting"? What does "responsibility" mean? What, are you really going to treat that old man as a war criminal? Tie him up and send him over?"

He tilted his head with some guilt: "How is this possible? I'm not Qin... Well, to be honest, I personally feel that Admiral Paris is too aggressive this time! This old man is here Despite his age, he is so impulsive. Sure enough, he is still messing around based on his seniority during the Revolutionary War! To be honest, Lina, he is not suitable to continue to stay in this position. Although the president did not say this to me directly Yes, but I understand what he means, and it is actually the view of most people.”

Is it just the opinion of you imperialists? Lena Wilbart thought.

Although the independence of the community was due to the hard work of Marshal Li and his comrades, it also came into being with the help of the international situation at that time. As a result, I don’t know how many old people and young people suddenly changed their identities and became dignitaries of the new dynasty. These people are now mainly concentrated in the Blue Friendship Party, which is now the ruling party.

Under the pressure of the independence heroes, they have managed to survive for decades holding their noses. Now that they are on the verge of taking control of the political power, they naturally dislike old people like General Paris.

Of course, the Blue Friends Party will definitely not admit that they are "pro" the Empire, but just hope that the community will get back on track, repair relations with the Empire, put aside the past history, and restore a good-neighborly, friendly, co-prosperous and mutually beneficial relationship with the other half of the galaxy.

Since the diplomatic and national policy formulated by the founding fathers for us is to sit on the fence, naturally we cannot break up with the other side.

Yes, we must stabilize the empire now, my judgment was correct! Charles Marvin was so sure, and then said: "The problem now is that the Empire is obviously a Baoding Catai people. We have taken advantage of it, so we can give it up and give them some face. Isn't this good? As for Old Man Paris ...Well, he was a hero in the War of Independence and a hero who defended the Stargate. In this case, he should understand our difficulties better, and I will go and talk to him personally."

Lina Wilbart actually doesn't like that stubborn old man who is as insular as granite. In other words, as long as he is a professional politician, he won't like that kind of person, but she doesn't want to see an "imperialist" like him going out of his way to , then sneered: "Don't you think about it, if you handle it like this, how will the officers and soldiers of the outer ring fleet who just won the victory react?"

"Then I really want to ask, is the Outer Rim Fleet the community's army? Or someone's private soldier? For such a big thing, they actually arrived belatedly after the battle started for two hours. The earth has notified the earth. The right of active self-defense? This kind of thinking that will not be subject to the orders of foreign kings actually exists in the sacred community. This is the greatest irony of the republic! Representative Lena Wilbart, isn't this Is that what’s more terrifying?”

When he said this, Charles Marvin felt like a defender of democracy and freedom, with noble glory flowing from his mouth to his buttocks!

He remembered that a few years ago, when he had just become a member of Congress and had not yet entered the Foreign Affairs Committee, he voted in favor of the hearing on whether to close a military sublight engine design company.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he really considers it from the economic perspective of sustainable development. That engine company spent so much national funds, but the experimental products it produced were always inferior to those of the Alliance and the Empire.

Anyway, we already have the manufacturing license for the Alliance's sublight engine, so wouldn't it be better to close this money-losing company and use the limited funds to engage in other foreign exchange-earning and tax-paying industries?

But as a result, Admiral Paris, who was a witness for the opposing side, stood up during the hearing. The old man sprayed all the congressmen who voted in favor with their heads, and then threw the hundreds of pages of information he had prepared onto the congressmen's seats.

I was sitting closest and got smashed...

Oh, by the way, Mr. Marvin said that he was not targeting Admiral Paris because of this little personal grudge. Everything is to prevent the military from becoming a warlord, which is what most of his comrades on Earth want! It is the will of the party! It is the will of the democratic republic!

Lina Wilbart was silent for a moment, sneered noncommittally, and suddenly changed the topic: "Before I came here, I talked to Mr. Qi who was stationed in the empire. He told me that the Royal Fleet and the King of Cyprus The main force is planning the Twelfth Great Expedition against the Predators, and it is impossible for them to have the power to interfere with our actions."

"Qi, Mr. Qi?" When he mentioned this community's ambassador to the empire, Mr. Marvin's expression was a bit strange, and the corners of his mouth twitched as if his teeth were sour. His expression was very complicated, with guilt and disgust, but more importantly Maybe it's just a little helpless irritability.

"I am very touched by Mr. Qi's efforts! However, after all, he is not a professional intelligence expert. You also know that the reason why he can become the imperial ambassador is because we all...respect him. Well, so do the imperial nobles. Respect him."

"You want to say mascot?"

Marvin pretended not to hear, and said: "Moreover, even if it is true, with the national power of the empire, it will be empty sooner or later. Because of this, we must ensure the purity of the political system; only in this way can we The most powerful weapon against the tyranny of the empire! Therefore, some people must be held accountable..."

His words were interrupted by sudden communication.

Marvin glanced at the personal terminal irritably, his expression fixed on the spot, with a hint of shock and confusion in his eyes. He couldn't help but look up at Representative Lina opposite him, and saw that the other party had a joking expression as if he was watching a good show.

Marvin gritted his teeth and answered the phone: "...Your Excellency, Chairman Nishita? Yes, that's right! What? Well, yes. Okay, I understand, right..."

He put down the terminal and said to Lina: "Alliance NOB, news channel."

NOB is the abbreviation of Alliance Nephi Star Network Broadcast, and it is also the largest television network media in the galaxy.

Councilor Lina opened her information terminal, and the two professional politicians and diplomats knew the scene on the screen very clearly. That is St. Alan Street in the Empire's capital, where the embassy district is located.

They saw outside the embassy with the Kaitai flag flying, a lean, middle-aged man from Earth, already standing at the gate, holding a lantern in his hand.

A large number of onlookers and reporters had gathered nearby. Seeing the man standing still, a large group of reporters rushed over. Naturally, the Alliance NOB reporter, a Perot centaur with four hooves, was naturally the fastest runner. He even relied on his physical strength to squeeze a short Angang reporter out of the way, directly. Passed the microphone over.

At this time, the camera naturally focused on the front of the people on Earth.

"Mr. Qi, you are holding a lantern in broad daylight. This is..."

"It's dark! This world is so dark. If I didn't hold a lantern, I might not be able to see the way ahead." Mr. Qi said on the screen.

Marvin and Lena were stunned.

The "Mr. Qi" in the picture is Qi Bingwen, the community's ambassador to the empire. However, in addition to this, he also has another identity, a universe-level super writer, winner of three Galaxy Awards and two Ou Shengluo Awards. He is a master of contemporary literature who has top standards in both serious literature and best-selling novels. He has fans all over the galaxy and has a total circulation of more than 500 billion novels.

It is said that quite a few imperial nobles and even His Majesty the Emperor himself are fans of Mr. Qi, which is why the community invited him to serve as the imperial ambassador.

However, we all have to know that successful literati are actually artists and very casual. Moreover, probably because he became a monk halfway, Mr. Qi Bingwen really doesn’t understand diplomatic etiquette.

It’s still unclear whether this appointment was right or wrong.

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Qi, are you coming to the Kaitai Embassy at this time to protest?"

In the picture, only this man, who is perhaps the most famous Earthling in the galaxy, snorted coldly: "Protest? Of course not! If protest is effective, why do we need the army? Isn't this what the empire has always done? Where's the party?"

"This, this is too much. Mr. Qi, our empire's position has always been to uphold justice, fairness, and openness..." An empire reporter said bravely.

"Yes! Only those who can kneel can be fair and open, right? But at my age, my knees are so stiff that I can't kneel down!" Mr. Qi sneered and changed the topic: "Although I am really not afraid of this I estimate the arrogance of your country with the greatest malice, but I can still distinguish between the empire and the people of the empire. I heard that the people of the empire are full of martial virtues, upright and fearless; the nobles are trustworthy and polite, and abide by the virtues of chivalry. This is true. Of?"

"Of course! This is the reason why the empire is so powerful!" The imperial reporter subconsciously became proud.

His words naturally triggered applause from a large group of imperial onlookers opposite.

"Very well, then be a witness for me."

"See, witness?"

Then, Mr. Qi suddenly put down the lantern, took off his coat, revealing his thin upper body wearing only a vest, and then took a sword with difficulty from the entourage.

He held the long sword with slightly trembling hands, pointed at the door of the Kaitai Embassy opposite, and shouted: "Hey! Kaitai fat cat opposite, do you have the guts to come out and meet your Grandpa Qi for real?"

There was no movement at the embassy opposite, as if it were a deserted haunted house. Only the two guards at the door were restless and helpless.

"Hey! Come out quickly, it's just the two of us! Don't you understand? I'm challenging you to a duel of honor! Don't you have to rely on single-on-one combat to even choose the king? Since it doesn't count after a fight, then you can fight again I'll fight! If you lose, take your broken ship back! Win? If you win, I will give you my life! Then I'll trouble you to hang my eyes on the Tianbo Tower in Tianyu, I want to see how this galaxy will perish! Anyway, if the fat cats of Cathay collude with the Empire, my eyes will no longer be able to see anything!"

The two Kaitai guards had already shrunk their heads into their sentry posts.

"Open the door, Fat Cat, Kaitai. You have the guts to make a sneak attack, but don't have the guts to open the door? Open the door, Fat Cat, I know you are inside! You even dare to trample on your own sacred duel of honor, why don't you dare to open the door?"

Of course the other side didn't dare to open the door. After all, Mr. Qi is really a powerless scholar, and he has hundreds of billions of die-hard book fans. Naturally, there will be no favors if you win, and it will be even more humiliating if you lose (although it is unlikely).

Of course, in the eyes of onlookers, it was the Cathay people who were in the wrong. In addition, Mr. Qi's entourage has opened a video and started broadcasting it live. The content is exactly the final stage of the battle. On the Iron Prince, the two sides agreed to have an honorary duel.

In short, with such a commotion, trillions of people in the entire galaxy are probably watching at the same time.

Of course, what even the person involved, Mr. Qi, may not know is that watching this scene at the same time was King Suliuka who was in Gibraltar.

The princess of Chenxi looked at the community ambassador who was acting like a naughty child in the video, and shook her head helplessly, her smile a little stiff. At this time, the voice of her subordinate came from her terminal: "Your Highness. The trade representative of the Free Galaxy Alliance, Miss Yamida Senge Belenkeist is online..."

"...Come in."

Soon, a demure and gentle young female voice came from the opposite side: "Buni, did you see it? You know Mr. Qi's temper. If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, he can really be the ambassador of Kaitai." The pavilion roared for a whole day, and even ran to the entrance of the Infinite Palace where the Nine Dragon Cauldron was splashed with blood!"

Who is making trouble unreasonably? Brynhilt said helplessly: "So, it was you who revealed the progress of the negotiations to Mr. Qi? You acted so fast! Yali!"

"Haha, our position is of course that we just want this galaxy to restore peace as soon as possible!"

"We suffered a big loss!"

"It's the big cats you raised who suffered a big loss! But don't they deserve it? Did the Kingdom of Cathay notify you of its plan to attack Gibraltar? It's against your will to let a real hero not die a good death. Aesthetics? Your little trick has failed anyway, so just be more generous."

Brunhilt looked at the elegant and elegant girl opposite him who was the same age as him and sighed. Although the other party is extremely weak, he is also the only peer who can make him feel frustrated. If the two parties were not in two countries, they might actually become best friends.

"Okay, let's just give you a face... However, the old hero of the community will really make everyone uneasy if he stays here. It's better to have someone who is comfortable, but will not cause trouble to everyone. A troubled old age is better.”

"Thank you very much. This is actually our expectation." The person on the other end thanked her sincerely, and then said in the relaxed tone of best friends: "By the way, I heard that Gilly is pregnant?"

"Haha, yes! But I discovered a very interesting little knight of the earth because of it."

All in all, the follow-up development of a war that involved more than two million people and 3,000 warships and hundreds of thousands of casualties seemed to be on the right track.

What a joy!

The third update is completed today, and this chapter is still a big chapter of 4.5k. Ask everyone for votes and subscriptions.

In addition, there will be daily drama for a period of time. Anyway, there are no big battles. I hope everyone is mentally prepared.

In addition, the previous chapter seems to be very controversial! It may be a problem with my writing strength. I didn't express what I wanted to say clearly and used too much force, so I made some small adjustments.

However, I must regret to tell you that the peak showdown between wisdom, courage and eloquence that everyone imagines has never been the mainstream of the national political and diplomatic arena.

Our diplomats engage in verbal battles with other scholars, relying on well-founded righteousness to find loopholes in the other party's words and arguments. After countless battles of wits, they gain the upper hand... Sorry, it actually makes sense to write it like this. simple. However, if it is really written like this, it is the so-called political white paper.

There has never been fairness and justice in the interactions between countries, and justice and legal principles are just embellishments. Even our own diplomats will have their own selfish motives and interests. Basically, what he represents is first and foremost the interest demands of the political group behind him, not the country. After all, a country can never be of one mind.

You have lived in our country for too long, but I must regret to tell you that our country is really not mainstream.

In addition, a hegemonic country has never relied on upholding justice to maintain its own authority, but on deflection. Suppress those who are disobedient and support those who are obedient. It is as simple as that. It is so fruitless.
