The so-called request for instructions, of course, is just a pretext. Since Charles Marvin was the plenipotentiary negotiator sent by the Earth side, he was of course authorized. To put it bluntly, if the other party doesn't mention this kind of thing in negotiation, the other side will first have to unify its thinking.

However, this is not an easy job.

That night, in the conference room across the river from the negotiating team's temporary requisition, the second seat began to slap the table with the chief. The slap was so loud that it was an earth-shattering sound, and the rest of the members said that the pressure was too great, and they all hid far away, so they didn't even dare to lie on the wall, leaving the conference room completely to the two bigwigs.

"What the hell are you thinking? Did someone stuff those two Serabi chicks in your room yesterday and swallow your brain along with the root of right and wrong? ”

Marven's face was blue and red for a while, but he still said with a straight face: "Nonsense, people want to come and learn foreign languages from me, but I sent them away on the spot to avoid suspicion!" I'm 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 didn't think I heard it, but there will be no next time! ”

"Mr. Marven, so, let's go undefeated and lose, let the Cathay people win, this is also the job of the chief negotiator? So, whose will are you representing? Community's? Imperial? Lena sneered.

"I represent the will of everyone!" Charles Marven yelled, then realized that he was a little out of shape, and quickly picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, in order to block his distorted expression, and then slowed down his tone and said: "Lina, it's not that serious, our losses are almost inaudible, and the star gate is foolproof." And so much loot was captured. The combined fleet of the Cathays was also crippled, and those big cats didn't dare to look up at us for decades. Again, now that we've won the de facto victory, we don't need to worry too much about the stubble. ”

"Has diplomatic face become a matter of stubble?"

"If we fail, it's not; If we win, that's it! Marven said in a natural tone.

So, what do you mean by confession? What does it mean to be responsible? What's the matter, are you really going to treat that old man as a war criminal? Tie it up and send it to the other party? ”

"This ...... Well, to be honest, I personally think that Admiral Perris is still too aggressive this time! This old man is so impulsive at this age. Sure enough, I still rely on the old seniority of the War of Independence! Truth be told, Lena, he's not a good fit to stay in this position. The president didn't say that to me directly, but I understood what he meant, and that's what most people think. ”

It's just the opinion of you imperialists, right? Lena Virbart thought.

The independence of the community was of course due to the hard work of Marshal Li and his comrades-in-arms, but it also came into being with the help of the international situation of that year. As a result, I don't know how many old and young people have changed and become the magnates of the new dynasty. These people are now mainly concentrated in the Blue Friendship Party, which is now the ruling party.

Under the oppression of the heroes of independence, they pinched their noses and barely survived for decades, and now that they are about to take control of the regime, it is natural to look at the old people like Admiral Perris.

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

Since the national policy of poaching for us formulated by the father of the nation is to ride the wall, it is natural that we can't tear our faces with the other side.

Yes, we must stabilize the Empire now, and I was right! Charles Marven was so determined, and then said: "The problem now is that the empire is obviously Baoding Kaitai people, we have the lining, we will accept it when we see it, and give them some face, isn't this bad?" As for Old Man Perris...... Well, he was a hero of the War of Independence and a hero who defended the Stargate. In that case, I should be more understanding of our difficulties, and I will talk to him personally. ”

Lena Verbart actually didn't like that stubborn old man who couldn't eat as much granite as granite, or rather, as long as he was a professional politician, he wouldn't like that kind of person, but she didn't want to see the other party's "imperial faction" deliberately, so she sneered: "Don't you think about it, if you deal with it like this, how will the officers and men of the Outer Ring Fleet who have just won a big victory react?" ”

"Then I really want to ask, the outer ring fleet, is it the army of the community? Or someone's private soldier? Such a big thing, they actually belatedly notified the Earth side two hours after the battle had started. The right to active self-defense? This kind of thinking that will not be subject to the orders of foreign monarchs is actually in the sacred community, which is the greatest irony of democratic politics. Senator Lena Wilbart, isn't that something even more terrifying? ”

As soon as he said this, Charles Marvin felt like a defender of democracy and freedom, with noble glory flowing from his mouth to his eyes!

He remembered that a few years ago, when he had just become a member of parliament and had not yet entered the Foreign Affairs Committee, he voted in favor of the hearing on whether to close down a military sub-light engine design enterprise.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he really thinks from the perspective of sustainable development economics. That engine company spent so much state funds, and the test products it produced were always a grade worse than the alliance and the empire.

Anyway, we already have a manufacturing license for the Alliance's sub-light engine, so wouldn't it be good to shut down this money-losing product and use the limited funds to engage in other foreign exchange-earning and tax-paying industries?

As a result, Admiral Perris, who was a witness to the opposing side, stood up at the hearing. The old man sprayed all the legislators who voted in favor, and then smashed the hundreds of pages of information he had prepared into the seats.

I sat closest and was smashed......

Oh, by the way, Mr. Marvin said that he did not target Admiral Perris because of this little personal vendetta. It's all about preventing the army from becoming militarized, which is what most of his comrades-in-arms on Earth mean! It is the will of the party! It is the will of the democratic republic!

Lena Virbart was silent for a moment, sneered noncommittally, and suddenly changed the subject: "Before I arrived, I spoke to Mr. Qi who was stationed in the empire. He told me that the main forces of the royal fleet and the Cypriots, who were planning the Twelfth Great Expedition against the Marauders, could not have the strength to interfere with the actions on our side. ”

"Qi, Mr. Qi?" At the mention of the ambassador of this community to the empire, Mr. Marven's expression was a little weird, the corners of his mouth twitched like sore teeth, and his expression was very complicated, with a weak heart and disgust, but more of a helpless irritability.

"I am very touched by Mr. Qi's efforts! However, after all, he is not a professional intelligence professional, and you know that the reason why he became an ambassador of the empire is because all of us ...... Respect him. Well, the nobles of the empire also respected him. ”

"You mean the mascot, right?"

Marven didn't hear it, and said: "Moreover, even if it's true, with the national strength of the empire, sooner or later it will be empty?" Isn't it? That is why we must ensure the purity of the polity; In this way, Fang is the most powerful weapon against the tyranny of the Empire! So, some people have to be held accountable......"

His words were interrupted by a sudden communication.

Marven glanced at the personal terminal irritably, and his expression stared on the spot, with a hint of shock and incomprehension in his eyes. He couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Councilor Lena opposite, and saw that the other party had a playful and playful expression.

Marven gritted his teeth, but still connected the phone: "...... Your Excellency Chairman Nichta? Yes, exactly below! What the? Well, yes. Okay, I see, right ......"

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

NOB is the abbreviation of the Alliance's Nefe Star Network broadcast, and it is also the largest television network media in the whole galaxy.

Congressman Lena opened her information terminal, and the two career politicians and diplomats knew very well what appeared on the screen. It was the Saint-Elan Avenue in the Empire's capital, Celestial, where the Embassy Quarter was located.

They saw a thin middle-aged earth man standing at the gate outside the embassy of the Kaitai flag, still carrying a lantern in his hand.

The crowd of onlookers and reporters in the vicinity had gathered quite a bit, and when they saw the man standing still, a large group of reporters rushed over. Naturally, the reporter of the alliance NOB, a Perot centaur with four hooves was naturally the fastest, and he even relied on his strength to squeeze a short Anmang reporter out and pass the microphone directly.

At this time, the shooting camera was naturally aimed at the front of the earthlings.

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

"Darkness! How dark this heavenly realm is, if I don't carry a lantern, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the way. Mr. Qi on the screen said.

Marvin and Lena were stunned.

The "Mr. Qi" in the picture is Qi Bingwen, the ambassador of the community to the empire. However, in addition to this, he also has another identity, a cosmic-level super writer, a three-time Galaxy Award, and a two-time winner of the Osainto Award. Whether it is serious literature or best-selling, it has a top level, fans all over the galaxy, and a total circulation of more than 500 billion copies.

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

However, we all have to know that successful literati are actually artists, very casual. Moreover, it is about the reason that he is a monk halfway, and Mr. Qi Bingwen really doesn't know any diplomatic etiquette.

Whether this appointment is right or wrong is still unclear.

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Qi, did you come to the Kaitai Embassy at this time to protest?" ”

In the picture, I saw this earthling, who may be the most well-known in the whole galaxy, snorted coldly: "Protest? Of course not! If the protests are useful, what do you need the army for? Hasn't this always been the way the Empire has always been? ”

"Well, that's too much. Mr. Qi, our empire's consistent position has always been to uphold justice, fairness, and ......openness," an imperial reporter said stubbornly.

"Yes! Only those who can kneel down can be fair, just and open, right? But at my age, my knees are stiff and I can't kneel! Mr. Qi sneered, and changed his words: "Although I really don't hesitate to estimate the arrogance of your country with the greatest malice, I will still distinguish between the empire and the people of the empire." I have heard that the people of the empire are full of martial virtues, and the nobles are trustworthy and courteous, and abide by the virtues of knighthood, is this really the case? ”

"Of course! This is the root of why the empire is so strong! The Imperial reporter said.

His words naturally sparked a cheer from a large group of imperial onlookers on the other side.

"Very well, then give me a witness."

"See, witness?"

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

He held the long sword with trembling hands slightly, pointed to the gate of the Kaitai embassy opposite, and shouted: "Bah! Kaitai Fat Meow on the other side, do you have the courage to come out and meet your Grandpa Qi? ”

There was no movement at the embassy opposite, as if it were a haunted house with no people, only the two guards at the door fidgeted and were at a loss.

"Hey! Hurry up and get out, just the two of us! Don't you understand? I'm waging an honor duel against you! Don't you even have to choose a king by heads-up? Since it doesn't count if you've already fought, then fight me again! If you lose, go back with your broken ship! Won? If you win, I'll give you my life! Then I will ask you to hang my eyes on the Celestial Tower in the Celestial Domain, and I want to see how this galaxy has perished! Anyway, when Kaitai's fat cat is in cahoots with the Empire, my eyes will already be unable to see anything! ”

The two Cathay guards had already shrunk their heads into the sentry.

"Open the door, Kaitai fat cat, do you have the courage to sneak attack, don't you have the courage to open the door? Open the door, fat cat, I know you're in there! Do you even dare to trample on your own sacred honor duel, and still dare not open the door? ”

Of course, the other side did not dare to open the door. After all, Mr. Qi is really a pure literati who is powerless, and he has hundreds of billions of die-hard fans. If you win, you will naturally not be pleased, and if you lose, it will be even more embarrassing.

Of course, in the eyes of onlookers, it is naturally the Kaitai people who are at a loss. In addition, Mr. Qi's entourage has opened a video and started to broadcast it live, the content of which is the scene of the battle on the Iron Prince, where the two sides agreed to have an honorary duel.

In short, after such a fuss, now there are trillions of people in the whole galaxy who are starting to watch at the same time.

Of course, what even Mr. Qi himself may not know is that at the same time, there is also King Suluka who is in Gibraltar.

The princess of Dawn looked at the ambassador of the community who was making trouble like a bear 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." Trade Representative of the Free Galaxy Alliance, Amida · Miss Senge Berenkest Online ......"

“…… Take it in. ”

Soon, a demure and gentle young female voice came from the other side: "Bunie, do you see?" You know Mr. Qi's temper, if you make trouble here, he can really yell at the Kaitai Embassy for a day, and even run to the gate of the Boundless Palace to splash blood on the Nine Dragons! ”

"So, you revealed the progress of the negotiations to Mr. Qi? It's fast! Yali! ”

"Hehe, our position, of course, just wants this galaxy to restore peace as soon as possible!"

"We've suffered a big loss!"

"It's your big cats who have suffered a lot! But isn't that what they deserve? How did you inform you of the plan of the Kingdom of Kaitai to attack Gibraltar; Got it? Isn't it against your aesthetics to let a real hero die well? Anyway, your little trick won't work, so let's be normal. ”

Brunhilt looked at the elegant and elegant girl of his age opposite, and sighed. Although the other party is weak, he is also the only peer who can make him feel frustrated. If the two countries weren't in the same country, they might really be best friends.

"Okay, then I should give you a face...... However, the old hero of the community, staying here will really make everyone feel uneasy, and it is better to have a comfortable old age that will not cause trouble to everyone. ”

"Thank you, that's actually what we expect." The other side sincerely thanked him, and then said in a relaxed tone between girlfriends: "By the way, I heard that Jili is deflated?" ”

"Oh, yes! However, I found a very interesting little knight of the earth. ”

All in all, a great battle in which more than two million men and 3,000 warships participated, and hundreds of thousands of people were killed, and its subsequent outcome and development seemed to be decided by these two young women in a few words.
