Chapter Ninety-Four: Life Goes On
Yu Lian originally thought that he would not get the results of the talks from the news until he returned to Earth at least. However, because of the intervention of the Empire and the Alliance, coupled with Mr. Qi's performance art in the Heavenly Domain, this meeting actually reached a conclusion with jaw-dropping efficiency.
First of all, there was the question of the nature of the war, and in the end, it was concluded that the Kaitai Kingdom side was left alone by some young Zhuang generals such as Lieutenant General Orson Blackfin, and the alliance's side was "slightly" overreacted to the self-defense counterattack. It was the misunderstanding of many parties that caused the border conflict and tragedy.
As for Prince Charron Scarlet's Mane and Marshal Reid Redeye, one of them has a war PSTD, and the other is seriously injured and his life is not guaranteed at any time, and they are really innocent. Now, Orson Blackfin and his henchmen have already cut their own sentences, and those who have been imprisoned have been imprisoned. Their families have also been reduced to slaves according to the laws of the Kaitai Kingdom, so there is no need to chase after them, right?
In the end, the community still received a symbolic compensation of 20 billion, but it was paid in 50 years, and it was a blue star coin instead of an alliance star. The interest is secured by the mining proceeds of Sakura, a specialty of the Kingdom of Kaitai, and is supervised and paid by a third party through the alliance's banks.
The soldiers scolded the negotiators for eating too much bibimbap, and 500 brains were all mushy. Of course, it's just a scolding. Anyway, no matter whether you get 20 billion or 2 trillion, it is impossible to give it to the soldiers below.
Secondly, since the Kingdom of Kaitai also has to assume a part of the defense of the Silver Heart, it can not be disarmed, but the First and Third Fleets, which are responsible for the defense of the borders of the Community, can no longer be equipped with warships above the Battle Cruiser. In any case, the combined fleet consisting of the First and Third Fleets was crippled, and it is estimated that it will not be able to equip the battle patrol for a while and a half.
Later, the new Kaitai negotiator spent the night crying and kneeling outside King Suleuca's bedchamber. Eventually, the Empire stepped in and auctioned off the battered battlecruisers of the First and Third Fleets.
These ships were quickly swept away from the international market. After all, it was a war patrol, and there are really a few countries that can afford to equip this kind of giant ship in these years.
It is said, really, that the Republic of the Buckvi Star Cluster, a hardcore ally of the Cathayes, bought the twelve best-preserved ships among them, and also hired a large number of the Cathay Navy that was forced to retire. Of course, in the final analysis, it is just unfounded rumors.
After such an operation, the Kaitai Kingdom was shocked to find that their finances had actually seen black letters for the first time in ten years. After scraping together the money again, I was surprised to find that it was just enough to buy two Corona-class dreadnoughts that the empire had just put on the shelves.
That's it! A must buy!
In addition, based on humanitarian considerations, the Community side agreed to expand the export of food and daily necessities to the Kingdom of Kaitai, which could be supported by loans from the Union side.
The latter one is said to be King Suliuka, and His Royal Highness Brunhilt fought for it, and the Kaitai people naturally cheered loudly for His Royal Highness King Su. The earth side pondered for a while, and felt that it seemed to take advantage of a lot. After all, it's a business, who is it not sold to? Naturally, I totally agreed.
Overall, it's a real win-win!
Of course, the officers and men of the fleet have no opinion on this article.
It doesn't matter if the Cathay cats on the opposite side are disarmed or not, anyway, one pair is a beating, and two are also drawn. They had just beaten each other's combined fleet, and they were in a state of full morale, feeling that they were not afraid even when the Imperial fleet came. If it weren't for the Dawn Angel, which was like a scorching sun across the sky, it would have given people too much oppression, and they really thought so.
However, the last conclusion caused an uproar among the officers and men of the fleet.
Admiral Noam Perris, a veteran of the Communion's almost last remaining Revolutionary War, is returning to Earth as Commander of the Outer Ring Fleet and Overseer of the Outer Ring Theater.
Although it was said to the outside world, the old general saw that he was getting old, so he decided to abdicate and make way for Xian. But the officers and men of the fleet are not fools. Although the old man is the oldest in the whole fleet, when it comes to spirit, he is much better than those "elite bureaucrats" who only know how to play office politics and have a party at a young age and eat starfish sauce with Dingding. Not to mention that he is only in his seventies now, he feels that in another twenty years, he will be able to put down all the staff members by himself.
The veteran general is not a benevolent commander, and the so-called moon, moon, fire, water, earth, gold, and gold, the intensity of training, and the strict discipline requirements for officers and men are the first of the whole community.
Many people are saying behind their backs, "I can't wait to put this old guy in a sack and throw this old guy in the battleship power furnace".
However, when he was really leaving, everyone began to miss him. Some officers and soldiers began to write bloody letters asking the old man not to leave, and some even more radically even directly surrounded the hotel where the negotiation team was staying at the Star Port in Gibraltar.
"The negotiators on the side of the central government of the earth are all a bunch of national thieves! The bloody battle of the whole army of Old Man Perris, Colonel Makarov's sacrifice, was directly betrayed by them like this! Heaven punishes the national thief! ”
"Heaven punishes the thief!"
"Return our commander!"
"Yes, get our Daddy Peris back!"
"Yes, I heard that the negotiator of the horse or something, he doesn't even have the slightest backbone! knelt directly in front of King Su and cried bitterly, and almost licked other people's feet! ”
"Well, I actually want to lick ...... too"
"Actually, I ...... Ahh In short, God punishes the thief! ”
"Drag that horse out and out on the streets! That's right, drag everyone else out on the streets! ”
"No, no, no, don't talk nonsense, I heard that the deputy head of the delegation, that Mrs. Welbart Councillor, has been arguing with reason, but that Marvin has no bones!"
"What kind of human deserves a boneless fellow? Grab back to Earth and feed the edelweiss! ”
"Edelweiss will have a stomachache ......"
Well, it can be seen that these soldiers are indeed spontaneous, with no organization and no goal, just gathering together to vent their emotions. In the end, they didn't drag the negotiators out of the world, and they didn't even destroy the flowers and plants around the hotel, what a group of sincere and polite young people!
Of course, compared to the island countries on the earth in a parallel universe, those True Young Zhuang factions who really executed the heavenly punishment against the national thieves are still a little less courageous after all!
In addition, they really just wanted to express their anger at the delegation's betrayal of the country, and it had nothing to do with the dozens of guards wearing power bones guarding the hotel door.
As a result, the surrounding citizens quickly changed from surprise, fear, and avoidance, to onlookers, and finally watched the excitement without worrying about it, and even began to shout and cheer.
"Rush in! Rush in! I've got your back! ”
"Yes, God punished those national thieves, so that we can live a good life!"
"You are the Navy! Shame on you! When I get rich in Xinyumen, I will reward you to kill that Marven! ”
The officers and men of the navy are also strong in blood and blood, and they immediately began to fight back: "Fart! You can get rich only to see that it is the spirit of the universe who is blind! By the time you find out the difference between the Sandfolk and the Nediagons, they'll both die twenty times! ”
As a result, the citizens and young admirals hooked their shoulders and sang loudly, and it suddenly evolved into a spontaneous military-civilian party. Everyone who passed by could feel the joy of joy, even the guards in mobile armor guarding the entrance of the hotel, and the whistling gendarmes who had just arrived.
The only people who can't laugh are probably the members of the delegation in the hotel, right?
It had only been a few days since the end of the war, and the β of Gibraltar had returned to its usual busyness. This galaxy originally had six gravitational jump corridors, and in terms of the concept of "interstellar highways", this was already a transportation artery extending in all directions, not to mention that there was a Morning Star Gate here.
It's the Community's only gateway to the New World, and one of the stopovers to the Empire's and Alliance's spheres of influence, and it's a testament to how busy it can be once order is restored.
At this moment, there are immigrants to the New World, speculators who want to go to the Alliance to find opportunities, and even more toiling people who want to go to the empire to be slaves in peace.
Their sufferings were not very similar, but in such a moment, their happiness seemed to have something in common.
In any case, after the war was over, the results of the war and the post-war treatment were generally able to satisfy their vanity. Then, life has to go on.
Then, I saw several small cars driving slowly, and the propaganda horns on them had begun to shout loudly: "The New World is recruiting!" The New World is hiring! A large-scale plantation and spice processing plant jointly invested by Zixinhui Group and the New Yumen Agricultural Business Association! Five insurances and one housing fund package to eat and live! Salaries are in full accordance with the standards of the Union! Gardeners, farmers, cowboys, mechanics and engineers, you name it! Come on! Come on! There is a lonely smoke in the desert, there is a sunset over the long river, and there is a beautiful new life here, come soon! When you come to the New World, you have the opportunity to settle down and buy a home! We invite you to join us in building a new home for the sons of the Blue Star! ”
The atmosphere of the scene of singing and dancing became more enthusiastic, and many young adults who were originally looking for a way to live slowly squeezed over. Anyway, they all left their hometowns to eat and eat, and it doesn't matter if they go to the New World, and the so-called "alliance standard" of wages is still very tempting to them.
But at this time, another megaphone on the other side began to make noise.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, the so-called Union standard is clearly the standard of the indigenous slave labor in the colonies of the New World of the Union! The New World has everything, gold and spices have zero elements, but there are also pirates and native sand bandits! Who of you would dare to say that you will be alive until you earn money? Who dares to say? In comparison, come to New Shenzhou, we have twelve habited planets that are urgently waiting to be developed. There are desert smoke, there are peaks and mountains, and there are more picturesque jungles and oceans, come and come. This is still the homeland of the community, so you don't have to leave your homeland! ”
The crowd looked at each other, and for a moment they were in a dilemma.
"Taishang ...... of the New Shenzhou Human Resources Company" The people on the side of the new Yumen began to grit their teeth.
"Griffit's ...... of the New World Town Shoufu Headhunter Company" The people over there in New Shenzhou were also sneering.
The two looked at each other, as if sparks and lightning were wrangling. Both sides looked like they wanted to eat each other's flesh raw, but after a long confrontation, no one made a move.
"Bastard! Just a bunch of mountain monkeys whose birds don't dare to rob us of people! Do you want to arrest so many people and go into the mountains with you to dig in the mud? "The new jade gate began to fight back.
The New Shenzhou Heavenly Region does indeed have only one transition channel to the outside world, and the geographical conditions are a bit closed, but the other party unwaveringly counterattacked: "That is also the Great Heavenly Region with hundreds of galaxies and twelve inhabited planets!" What do you have there? Pirates or bandits? Oh, maybe there's some other star-swallowing monster hiding in some cosmic space. ”
"I'm here for your twelve inhabited planets! When you go out to plant a potato, you also need to wear a fully enclosed power suit, and the planet is also called a human planet? The exploration and development of the New World is the tradition of the whole universe and the established national policy of the community! You ......"
"It is the responsibility of us as human beings, all of us children of the Blue Star, to make our homeland fully developed! How are you, you! ”
The crowd of onlookers, as well as the homeless people who came to look for work, continued to watch with excitement and anticipation. On the one hand, this scene is naturally quite interesting; On the other hand, it is probably also a sudden realization that whether their lives in the rest of their lives will be turbulent or comfortable and peaceful depends on this choice.
The soldiers dispersed with a dull face, they had seen too many such scenes, and there was no novelty for a long time. They left, and the delegation in the hotel was saved.
And this scene was also seen by Yu Lian and Yang Xiyi, who had just arrived at the scene.
"Heh, when you're not fighting, this scene happens once a day, it's quite unusual, right? Rest assured, they can't fight. ”
"And in the end?" Yu Lian asked curiously.
“…… What the? ”
"The result of robbing people."
"Normally, it's half of the story, but in general, the New World side has the upper hand. News that you have made a fortune after a few years of casual work in the New World, right? In comparison, the new Shenzhou side is just looking for a job to support the family. Moreover, it is only by relying on the current Tiantian District Government to be relatively tough that it can barely maintain the current situation. However, how long can this kind of behavior, which is incompatible with the central government of the earth, last? ”
Although Yang Xiyi has several respects for New Shenzhou, he is not too optimistic about their future.
"The administrator of the Heavenly District of the New Jade Gate is still the old man Bai now, right?"
"Yes, an old man in his seventies, but physically and mentally well."
"Well, an energetic and powerful old man is of the same type as His Excellency our commander. Mr. Yang, why are the big people in the community who are a little more reliable now all from Marshal Li's era? ”
"Probably their group of elites, who have used up the Zhong Lingyuxiu that we have accumulated for hundreds of years."
The two looked at each other, then shrugged their shoulders together, and let out a helpless "puff" together.
