"I still don't understand why they rejected our suggestion to configure translations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Looking at the empty row of chairs opposite, the other negotiator sitting next to Ouyang Yuhang was still a little incredulous, "Using one's mother tongue in international negotiation occasions is a manifestation of national pride. Even the method of releasing pigeons has been used, so why not use some methods that are easier for both sides of the negotiation?"

It has been a few days since Lu Qi and "Youtiao" had made early negotiating contacts and preparations with Yuedu, and formal negotiations were about to begin. According to the pre-negotiated script, the Chinese delegation will be "released pigeons" to meet the demands of a certain important person in the negotiations. Almost all of the Chinese present experienced a familiar feeling of this strange self-esteem: it seems that this situation has been seen in the relevant materials of modern Chinese history......

In order to avoid the paralysis caused by this strong sense of déjà vu and carelessness of the enemy, Ouyang Yuhang also specially re-emphasized the military strength of the moon capital that can be estimated in the consultation meeting before coming, and these data fully show that if the moon capital is really provoked, whether it can counterattack the earth is not known, the military strength of several countries on the moon is obviously not enough to fight. Moreover, the person who made such a request is only a political vase in the Yuedu negotiation team led by Toyohime Mianyue this time, and will not play a major role. Even, this sense of immediacy can be regarded as a means used by Mianyue Fengji with the help of China's special history, and it is really necessary to be wary.

"In the culture of Yuedu, the theoretical knowledge learned can be used as a status symbol to some extent, which naturally includes the mastery of multiple languages. Tapping the ground with his cane, Lu Qi explained in a rare normal language on the side, but the arrogance that came out of his bones still made people feel a little uncomfortable, "In other words, in the eyes of those people, the situation that we need a translator to communicate just reflects the gap between Yuedu and the 'people on the ground', which can be regarded as a disguised pose." ”

"Why are you sitting here?" frowned, looked at the sign on the table, Ouyang Yuhang patted Lu Qi's shoulder hard, "This is the position set for the military, you go back to the position of a scholar - I warn you, the superior leaders are watching today, don't let me go crazy casually!"

"You ......!" Just about to explode as usual, Lu Qi glanced at the equipment used to hold holographic remote meetings in some positions, ......and pressed his voice hard, "I've never gone crazy, I've always contributed to the cultural cause I love!"

"Uh-huh!" Bringing "fritters" to the moon as a private arms dealer, especially those who conduct illegal domestic business, without authorization means considerable political risks, so Ouyang Yuhang immediately interrupted Lu Qi's words, "Anyway, please return to your seat, Comrade Lu Qi." Negotiations are about to begin, so don't lose face with the country. ”

“…… For the sake of today it is you...... ...... on the face"

Ouyang Yuhang didn't hear the words that Lu Qi muttered before leaving, but he didn't care, because not far away, the protagonist of the negotiation finally appeared in the field of vision. According to the drama that had been discussed before, all the members of the Chinese delegation stood up from their seats. Thankfully, in this form and scene, Yuedu did not ask for anything more - the release of the pigeon was obviously close to the bottom line of the Chinese delegation's national pride.

But this one is really ...... It's huge. Looking at the pomp and circumstance on the opposite side that can indeed be called a "fairy outing" and the clothes that look difficult to put on and take off, and then look at the situation of the military dress in front of the delegation and the military uniforms of Yishui except for the delegation, Ouyang Yuhang secretly didn't know why he sighed.

Fortunately, the negotiation process is not as messy as the dress on the other side, with too much mess mixed in. Based on Mianyue Yiji's sentence "get straight to the point, don't talk nonsense", the future of the whole negotiation seems to have suddenly brightened, and even the opening remarks that usually precede business negotiations have disappeared. The members of the Chinese delegation were a little uncomfortable with this situation, but soon, these real old fritters found their rhythm: "I think our expectations for this negotiation should have been handed over to the delegates in the form of a draft, so we would like to listen to your country's opinions first, so as to better advance the negotiations." ”

"Is that the one?" Picking up the terminal that didn't match the clothes on his body at all, Toyohime Mianyue opened the draft folder and skimmed through it quickly, "In general, your expectations are not much different from what we expected, but...... There are some details that we have to talk about. ”

Hearing this, Ouyang Yuhang subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. His back relaxed slightly, and he moved the slightly tight collar of the military dress, although his face was still tense, but his heart was completely relaxed. Originally, the military's presence here was necessary to express the country's hardline attitude when there were disagreements on the general direction or when the bottom line was touched, and second, to serve as a "strong support" that negotiators could rely on when discussing the details. Since there is no clear question of the general direction, it is not impossible to leave the rest of the matter to professional diplomats and negotiators, and there is no need for Ouyang Yuhang, a pure soldier, to intervene too much.

Ah, of course, given the impact of the delay in communication between the Earth and the Moon, occasional speeches are also necessary. After all, the living people present are basically military personnel, and as the highest-ranking general, it is also one of his responsibilities not to let the whole negotiation fall into the embarrassing situation of only holograms and living people.

"A complete cessation of the military conflict is, of course, the ultimate goal that both of us should achieve. But I think that when you make such a request, should you recognize the sovereignty of the lunar capital over the moon?"

“…… Then things will get very troublesome, Miss Mizuki Iki. ”

"Excuse me, I don't mean to ask your state to evacuate the moon at once. We allow normal mining activities in the People's Republic of China, but the name has to change. With a gorgeous atmosphere, Toyohime Mianyue explained with a smile on her face, "Your current and future mining activities are all leased land in the Yuedu. We're not interested in collecting taxes, but some of the areas designated by the monthly capital are off-limits to you, is that okay?"

“…… It's not good. Realizing that when it was time for him to appear, Ouyang Yuhang interjected, "At least, the base of Guanghan Palace should enjoy the treatment of an embassy and belong to the territory of the People's Republic of China." ”

"Uh-huh~~ It's Mr. Ouyang. Glancing meaningfully, Mianyue Toyohime's movements suddenly became intriguing: she blinked, and then touched her lips with her index finger, and the whole atmosphere of the negotiation had a tendency to be out of shape because of such a cute action, "If it weren't for your reminder, I almost forgot that there were two more opinions." Well...... Let's start with the less important ones. The number of Chinese troops stationed on the surface of the moon capital must be controlled accordingly, and the specific boundaries can be further discussed. …… If we have this kind of consensus, we still need to have it, right?"

The Chinese delegation did not raise any objection and did not endorse it. This kind of request has been anticipated in advance, and the next thing to do is to use negotiation skills to achieve a better result, and there is nothing surprising about it. Therefore, compared to this opinion, Ouyang Yuhang is more interested in what Mianyue Fengji will say next. Picking up the teacup in front of him and taking a sip of tea, he suddenly had some bad premonitions. According to the other side's implication, even such extremely important issues are called "not very important", so what will be the next "important" opinion?

"And then, the second opinion -- well, no, it should be said that this is the basis on which this negotiation was established, and it is a condition that must not be compromised. Soon, Toyohime's increasingly serious expression made everyone on this side swallow, and every description she made began to increase the unease in the hearts of the delegates. They must admit that the Chinese government does know very little about the moon capital, so that despite the mutual interests of each other, the negotiation could be ruined by a way of thinking based on different cultures......

That's undoubtedly the worst-case scenario.

"In any case, this condition is something you must accept, and we will not allow negotiations. Standing up from her seat, Mianyue Fengji raised her head like a proud lady, and walked step by step to the middle of the two negotiation tables. Suddenly, as soon as she stretched out her hand, her index finger pointed directly at Ouyang Yuhang, "...... Ouyang Yuhang!"

“…… Does this important request from Yuedu concern me, Miss Mianyue?"

Ouyang Yuhang had actually mentally prepared for this, but he really didn't expect that the way of thinking of the people of Yuedu was really so absurd. Asking the other side's military commander to die during peace negotiations is indeed a frivolous request that satisfies the other side's self-esteem to the greatest extent. However, it is obvious that such a request is impossible to agree: this is equivalent to executing Ouyang Yuhang as a war criminal, which is a rather extreme show of weakness......

Just as Ouyang Yuhang's mind continued to analyze the situation he had already thought of, Mianyue Fengji's voice suddenly became not as calm as before. Her voice trembled visibly: "Ou...... Ouyang Yuhang! This is the demand that Yuedu has made for China!"

…… You don't have to be so loud, it will seem that you are even more unconfident. This shouldn't be your level. Looking at the speaker in the middle of the venue with a calm and slightly reproachful look, Ouyang Yuhang thought so. For some reason, when their eyes met, Mianyue Toyohime turned her face away slightly. Just as he was puzzled by this, thinking about why this was happening, Toyohime's originally imposing voice became soft as if his strength had been drained all of a sudden.

Although, the facts that are spoken are extremely shocking.

“…… Marry me, Ouyang Yuhang. ”

“…… What?"

"I mean, marry me, Ouyang Yuhang!" When Ouyang Yuhang asked again because he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, Mianyue Fengji shouted desperately as if he had blushed to the base ......of his neck, "Marry me! These are my dowry!"

――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line―――――――――――――――――――

Political marriage. Brilliant idea. Political marriage, hahaha......

Even though the first round of negotiations had ended and entered the rest stage, Mianyue Toyohime's heart was still a little excited. With this little joy in her chest, her smile is extraordinarily happy. Thinking of her actions just now, she was still a little shy until now, and she didn't even dare to look at the confused face of Ouyang Yuhang in the rest area directly opposite, who didn't know what was going on.

The first round of negotiations certainly didn't end with Toyohime Mizuki's bold marriage proposal. After that, she made it clear to the other party the political necessity of the political marriage for the Yuedu side - in fact, it was indeed the most convenient option she could think of - and then the two parties discussed some details. It is clear that now the main disagreement between the two sides is focused on what level the number of garrisons at the base of the Guanghan Palace should be limited to, and about ......

"Ah, dear, why are you here?"

"Uh, hmm, uh......" In this case, he seemed a little helpless in the face of Mianyue Fengji, Ouyang Yuhang hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed, "Miss Mianyue......"

"It's okay to call Toyohime. From today onwards, the two of us are officially engaged~~ The marriage that brings peace guaranteed by the two countries is really happy~~"

"No, that...... Alas......" As if realizing how much political significance this marriage has, Ouyang Yuhang sighed again, and then shook his head, "Miss Mianyue, I'm here in a private capacity - no, as your fiancé to ask some questions, is it okay?"

…… It's really annoying. It's clear that they're already engaged, but they still treat their opponents. My heart is going to explode with joy. Pursing her lips slightly because of this dissatisfaction, Mianyue Toyohime turned away a little coldly, "Of course I have to answer the question of my dear." However, my dear will only call me 'Toyohime'. ”

“…… Okay, Toyohime. I went straight in. "It's really helpless, Ouyang Yuhang finally called out the title that made Mianyue Fengji hot all of a sudden, but his next question made the latter calm all of a sudden-well, it's not completely calm, half-calm, "You really can't provide us with information about the underworld?"

"That's impossible, dear. The moon capital and the underworld have been allies since ancient times, and we will never betray old friends just because we have made new allies. ”

"There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I'm sure you understand that. Shaking his head, Ouyang Yuhang seemed to want to convince her further, "We can make some concessions in other aspects......

"No, I can't. The Moon Capital and the Underworld share absolute common interests at a higher level. It's not just because of so-called traditional friendships. Shaking his head, Mianyue Toyohime raised his head and looked at the dark "sky", "Moreover, just because you and the moon are on the negotiating table, you don't think that your international politics really apply to the moon and the underworld. The Underworld isn't just a so-called codename, you know?"

“…… This may sound complicated. Could it be that the underworld is really not the underworld?"

Faced with Ouyang Yuhang's question, Mianyue Fengji thought a little painfully for a while. Just as she wanted to speak, a moon rabbit who hurried over beside her suddenly whispered a few words to her, which suddenly tensed her nerves, which were originally slightly relaxed:

"The mutinous Moon Rabbit forces carried out a terrorist attack, and they unleashed that dangerous thing!"

“…… Beloved, it seems that the test of our love has arisen at once. After a long silence, the corners of Mianyue Fengji's mouth hooked up a smile, "As your fiancée and the representative of Yuedu, can I ask the officers and soldiers of the Guanghan Palace base to help Yuedu's counterinsurgency work?"
