Interstellar Fairy Tale

The waiting time was not long. It was only a matter of walking a few steps from the outside of the door to the inside of the door. When crossing the door, Shang Ping suddenly had a strange feeling, just like some kind of oath ceremony or heralding some changes. A prelude is about to happen. If he was smart, maybe he shouldn't have entered this door, shouldn't have seen the person inside?

Shang Ping didn't understand why he had such strange thoughts, but his experience in two lifetimes made him more and more trust his intuition.

"What's wrong?"

Shang Ping's hesitation and confusion did not avoid Austin's eyes. Facing Austin's question, the black-haired boy just shook his head and said in a barely audible voice, "Perhaps, it's just an illusion. I hate this kind of uncertainty..."

Whether Shang Ping hesitated or not, John Jonathan couldn't wait to walk in with Adjutant Joe. Adjutant Joe stood at the door and looked at Austin and Shang Ping. He could now be sure that this black-haired boy was Austin's favorite. , not very handsome, nor feminine and beautiful, but with a refreshing temperament, the whole person looks very comfortable. He should be a smart and self-control teenager. I have to say that Austin has a good eye. Or should I say, the Soth family has a good vision. Including the commander-in-chief of the Space Fleet who likes to let work pile up.

Shang Ping was not sure whether he should tell Austin how he felt, but he clearly knew that it was not easy for Austin to do this for his request, even if his father was in a high position and had a heavy dog ​​in his hand. Besides, Shang Ping also understands how rare this opportunity is. Although he is different from John, he has a kind of fanatical admiration for Liu Xi himself, but he also does not want to miss this opportunity.

"Nothing, just take a deep breath."

Shang Ping said something plausible, but Austin didn't ask.

The high-ceilinged hall has huge crystal chandeliers hanging down, and diamond-shaped white crystals are stacked in layers, forming a fascinating light and shadow. Around the hall, there are four floors of stairs, which are full of people, including military government insiders, civilian staff, and large Countless media, large and small, not only Mars Media, but Seth Republic and Gamma Planet media personnel can find traces in the crowd.

In the middle of the hall is a circular high platform, surrounded by transparent tempered glass on three sides, with a prominent Mars-style podium erected in it. Several optical microphones are placed on the podium, so that the voice of the speaker can be clearly transmitted to the hall. every corner. At this moment, the hall was silent with a total of five hundred people gathered, and everyone's eyes were all focused on the man standing in front of the podium.

The man wears a black slim fit suit, a dark blue shirt, expensive platinum cuffs = buttons on the cuffs, and a diamond tie clip on a fine-grained tie, which occasionally flashes brilliantly in the aisle under the light. The black hair is neatly combed, the same black eyes, but the silver-framed glasses can't hide the sharp edges in those eyes, the thin red lips under the straight nose bridge do not look mean, the curvature of the mouth corners is just right, and the smile on the face will not be deliberately warm , it will not give people even the slightest false feeling, like a cello-like low and elegant voice resounding in the room. Not only the hundreds of people who were already present, including John Jonathan, whose eyes had almost turned into heart shapes, and Austin, who had just calmed down with a calm and expressionless face, couldn't help but cast their gazes at the man standing in the center of the hall.

"...We all need to admit that whether it is the Seth people, Mars people, γ-star people, before they came to the Muse galaxy, our ancestors also came from the earth. In the past thousand years, our ancestors developed the Muse with wisdom and hands. The galaxies, they live on different planets, they have different political opinions and lifestyles, they quarrel, and they even take up arms to fight, but, to be clear, they are not eternal enemies!"

Liu Xi's remarks were sonorous and powerful, which exceeded most people's expectations. From the day of the birth of the Seth Republic and the Mars military regime, it was clear that there was a huge difference between the two. In short, this is the Democracy and autocracy, freedom and dogma, centralization and parliament, and even the difference in people's consciousness. In the past few hundred years, in addition to scolding in the air, there have been frictions between the two, and it has even developed into wars of different sizes. Every Mars and Seth people have the same deep-rooted concept: the guy on that planet is absolutely impossible to be his friend!

However, just now, this single-handed man did not go through diplomatic channels, but came to Mars Planet by not very glorious means, forcing Mars Chief Executive Martin and Commander-in-Chief of the Space Fleet David South to face his man. , to say that Mars and Seth are not enemies?

Such words actually came from the mouth of the President of the Republic of Seth?

This is also a little too bizarre.

Everyone present was shocked. After the surprise, the media reacted first. They even pointed the recording device at the President of the Republic of Seth, Liu Xi, again with a kind of excitement. No matter what he said next, it will become a tradition. Front page headlines in media and electronic publications!

However, Liu Xi did not rush to speak down, his eyes swept across the hall, as if to imprint everyone present in those black eyes, slender and white fingertips tapped lightly on the podium, after almost After five minutes, he continued: "Specifically, since our ancestors, it seems that we have been trapped in the Muse galaxy, although our cosmic fleet can reach the distant planet and occupy it, but, The deep-rooted traditional concept makes us stubbornly believe that the biggest victory is only to reverse the concept of another planet. Or, it can also be said that we only identify with each other, just like brothers and lovers who are awkward and unable to accept each other's living habits."

Liu Xi made a harmless joke here, and there was laughter in the hall.

"However, considering our actual interests and safety at this stage, I hope that all of you present, and even those who hear this, can understand that whether it is Sais, Mars, or Gamma, they also live in Muse. In the galaxy, in the final analysis, we can quarrel, wrestle with each other, and even spit in each other's face and raise the middle finger, but, our real enemy, or should I say, our real threat, should not come from within the galaxy! Maybe everyone has already Know that, as the Republic of Seth, the celestial body Royce stationed in the Muse galaxy leading to the outer galaxy has been occupied by the rebels, no, it should be said to be occupied by the enemy from the alien galaxy! It is from the other side of the universe. The powerful fleet and terrible enemy , not the Muse galaxy, or even belong to the cosmic space we know, they are powerful, mysterious, cruel, once entrenched in Royce's huge fleet to attack, the entire Muse galaxy will not be spared, they will not distinguish between Seth people or Mars people, before particle cannons and laser cannons, there are only human beings who will be occupied by them in the Muse galaxy! Once they are defeated, what they will face will no longer be a change of government. They may have taken another one for the Muse galaxy. The name may be very catchy..."

Liu Xi pretended to be a lighthearted joke but could no longer provoke any laughter, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn.

Liu Xi's speech speed gradually increased, and his voice increased, but the words were clear and pierced into people's ears like steel needles, making everyone in the hall unable to believe that such an elegant voice can bring people such a powerful deterrent.

John Jonathan was on the verge of losing his mind. If Shang Ping hadn't held his arm firmly, he might have run down the fourth flight of stairs and offered his absolute loyalty as a soldier to the man who was speaking. Of course, if he still has any sense of reason, he should know that it is absolutely impossible for him to give the loyalty of a Mars soldier to the President of the Republic of Seth! Once he does, what awaits him will not come from Liu Xi's approval and smile, but from the cold shackles and the ruthless ruling of the military court.

Shang Ping grabbed John tightly and did not dare to take it lightly. He was not willing to let his best friend spend the next few decades in a cell because of his negligence. However, he had to admit that this man named Liu Xi was indeed a born politician, smart and cunning, and he knew how to use all his advantages to achieve his goals.

He has a handsome appearance, an elegant voice, a slender body, and a smart mind. This man named Liu Xi is using his words and actions, or rather his whole person, to interpret what is called "persuasion and bewitchment".

Shang Ping didn't like this man.

Although he understands that Liu Xi's words can never be faulted, he even explained the century-old conflict between the Republic of Seth and the military regime of Mars in just a few words, and proposed a good solution, but the solution to this conflict should not be at this time! This statement is obviously deceptive and exploitative. Shang Ping believed that if the conditions allowed, Liu Xi would even have a way to incite the Mars people and the Sais people to put aside their past suspicions, regard the current entrenched Royce Golden Emperor fleet as an eternal enemy, and completely forget the origin of this enemy.

This kind of tongue-in-cheek method is precisely what Shang Ping is extremely disgusted with, even if he is completely positive about some points in Liu Xi's words.
