Outside the Baihui Hall, the morning light was faint, and the first snowflakes of winter reported another reincarnation of the world to the earth. Thousands of steps, an old man and a young man climb up the steps, telling the story of the bald father and the hairy son.

"Although I have been mentally prepared, my performance in the past few days has really disappointed me." Huo Guosong said to his son Huo Qimeng.

"yes, I didn't expect it to be like this, and now I'm the target of public criticism as soon as I come forward."

"You should understand by now that many seemingly simple things are not what they seem to be easy, and that day Turner let you learn Mark, which was good for you."

"Is there any mystery in my father's journey for so many years?"

"Most of the mysteries are unspeakable. But it should help you to grasp this point: most questions are not about what you answer, but how you answer them. ”

"Can you be more thorough?"

Huo Guosong couldn't help but glance at his son: "For example, if you want to recommend yourself to participate in this double galaxy peace talks, how will you express it?" ”

Huo Qimeng thought for a moment: "I won't directly say that I want to go, but I will argue that it is not appropriate for others to go." ”

The corners of Huo Guosong's mouth rose, he had already seen this son thoroughly: "You only got half of the answer right, maintaining interstellar peace is for those people outside, and some people, when you say the first thing to him, he can guess all the words you want to say later." Notice, not only your thoughts have been guessed by him, but all your thoughts have been clearly understood by him. ”

"You mean old man Hyde?"

"It's not just him, there are no longer a few people like Blue Domain, and Hyde can only be regarded as a typical representative."

"So what should I do?"

"Learn from Mark, don't participate in the discussion of any practical issues, do what you have to do, if you don't seek decision-making efficiency in meetings, everything is a waste of time, what you have to do is to reconcile, summarize, and resolve the majority of contradictions, and for a few sharp problems, be good at throwing them to the strong. Meetings are an art, and by doing it well, you can move on. ”

"That is, there is no hope for me to recommend myself to participate in the Double Star Peace Talks?"

"It's not that there is no hope, it's that if you don't take that step, you can't go first." Huo Guosong knew that his son was very optimistic about the opportunity for Carmon to negotiate, which was his biggest bargaining chip in his bid for the head of state. "You are the organizer of the conference, what is the arrangement of the topics, what is the order of speeches, and what are the choices of the participants, these questions will directly guide the direction of the contradiction. When things are at a loss, and you come forward as a rescuer, won't everything fall into place and be logical? ”

"I understand all these truths, but I am afraid that if I do not participate in the discussion of practical issues, I will lose the qualification to go to Carmon for negotiations because I have no opportunity to express my opinion, and then the election will be useless."

"Who told you had to go to Carmon to negotiate before the election?"

Hearing the bald father say this, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the door of the Baihui Hall slowly opened, and the main hall was waiting for a vacant place.

"Good morning, General Hyde." As soon as Hyde entered the door, he saw Huo Qimeng's bright smile reflecting the morning sun.

"Good morning Qimeng, good morning everyone, how is it, have you figured out how to discuss it?"

This sentence is addressed to everyone, but everyone knows who it is for.

"I went home last night, I reflected for a long time, and there has been no result in the past few days, I think the reason is that I, following the advice of Captain Turner, I also studied Mark to make a detailed agenda plan for everyone, but due to the tight time of the night, the individual link settings may not be as thoughtful as the seniors, I will read it to you first." Huo Qimeng only became the "fox" of the day today, and the corners of his mouth that could smile without speaking hung back under his nose.

"You should have done this a long time ago, or we'd all consider bypassing you for a meeting." Pangu has never been afraid of offending people.

"The lesson of the star chief is that I apologize for my irrationality some time ago" Mr. Fox said something different, and suddenly made a 180-degree turn, which made Pangu look very ungraceful.

"Continuing to talk about the agenda, it is divided into three parts, this negotiation is mainly the situation promoted by General Hyde, and the general is also asked to explain the negotiation plan for the people present, mainly including: the disposal of antimatter planets, the content of the negotiation to go to Carmon Star, the measures to ensure Carmon's compliance after the negotiation is completed, and the direction of the Blue Domain Galaxy after the conclusion of the treaty. The second part is to ask questions, and the third part is to recommend negotiators. ”

After so many days, the discussion finally got on track, and Hyde was secretly happy: "The purpose of my plan is very simple, which is to lock Carmon, but there are two risks in doing so: first, how to ensure the safety of the antimatter planet when it withdraws from Carmon, and what if it is blown up halfway as soon as it leaves the Carmon system?" The second is that this thing has been held hostage once in Carmon, how can you guarantee that it will not be held hostage again and threaten the security of the Blue Domain? If you have considered these two questions, I think the answers are already forthcoming. ”

"Definitely not in the Blue Zone!" Murray said.

"It definitely can't be put in Carmon!" Pangu added.

"Where do you put that?" Female biological directors always like to connect the past and the next.

"Gaia!" Everyone spoke in unison.

"Yes, it's safest to place it in Gaia, where it's heavily fortified and doesn't take up additional fleet resources. Moreover, we can negotiate the terms of the first withdrawal of the troops by Camun. Let's drive the planet over again, and Carmon won't be able to get in if he wants to. "It's useless to argue, the most effective way is to let someone else say what you want, and Hyde knows it.

"So, the planets can't be withdrawn as a whole, right?" This time, Murray's reaction seemed to be beyond Hyde's imagination.

"Well, but cutting antimatter takes a lot of resources." The problem of resources is always what Lan Yongxu is worried about.

"So what's the matter, it's in Carmon anyway, and Carmon has an obligation to assist in cutting." Turner.

Such a high level of discussion efficiency is completely beyond Mr. "Fox's" imagination, and I can't help but regret that I didn't organize it like this a long time ago.

"I think the answer is clear. I don't need to explain more, is there anything you don't understand? ”

"General Hyde, I still don't understand one thing, why can't you just blow up that planet in Carmon?" Murray is still bent on destroying the entire planet of Carmon.

"Because these things are so strange: we found Gaia at the same time; At the same time, we discovered antimatter planets. If these things were secretly manipulated by someone else, the consequences of rashly blowing up Carmon would be unimaginable. ”

"In other words, it is unlikely that the creator of the so-called worm people is the only enemy?"

"I'm not sure, my suspicions began with Hanes' research, convinced of Li Kande's conversation, by the way, he has not appeared since the death of the Führer, does the Allies have any way to contact him?"

Everyone shook their heads: "The real contact information, the Führer didn't say before he died, but this person usually comes uninvited, and he may appear when the time is right." ”

"It seems that everyone no longer has doubts about the plan itself, can the Q&A session be canceled and go directly to the selection process?" Huo Qimeng no longer had any arguments, and jumped directly to the third link.

Everyone said they had no opinion, Huo Qimeng straightened his sitting posture, leaned forward, and began to speak in the link he was most concerned about with this self-made smile.

"Today's discussion went quite smoothly, and in the next session, we will first confirm that it is appropriate for a few people to attend the meeting; Then I will nominate the right people, I don't know what you think. ”

"If the Führer had not died, the combination of the general and the Führer would have been the best choice." The female ecological chairman spoke first, implying that this link had officially begun.

"Even today, the general is definitely going to go, won't we settle on one more person?" Turner took over the conversation and first stood up for Hyde's authority, and seeing this, it was inconvenient for Hyde to continue to express his opinion.

"Let Lan Yongxu go, after all, this is an energy problem." Huo Guosong spoke for the first time at the meeting, and successfully pointed the finger at the Minister of New Energy, but the latter did not notice it, and even handed a grateful look to the chairman of the finance committee who voted for him.

"It's an energy issue, isn't it a defense issue? According to this logic, Pangu also has to go. Murray was the first to be unhappy, and first attacked Huo Qimeng's opinion.

"On the defense issue, General Hyde, Lan Yongxu can negotiate the matter of the mining permit of Carmon, I think it is appropriate." The female ecological chairman spoke again and strongly supported the chairman of the new energy board.

"If you talk about the actual issues of negotiation, whether it is energy or military affairs, I think it is enough to leave it to the general, and it is better to go to a strong one in case of accidents." Turner immediately sided with Murray and supported Pangu.

"Otherwise, I've heard that the captain named Dewey is small but athletic and brave in battle, and he should be enough over there. It's better to send an additional diplomat, judging from today's performance, Qimeng is more suitable. "The female ecological director really can't find any praise words.

Taking advantage of everyone's awkward pause, Huo Qimeng quickly answered, reviewed his father's conversation this morning, and said with a smile: "Interstellar negotiations have a huge responsibility. If you are not careful, you will become a sinner of history. I don't think I'm even qualified to be this sinner. Listening to the discussion of all of you just now, each has its own reasons, but it is difficult to achieve unification, so I suggest that whoever really does this sinner should be left to the people to judge. According to the unanimous agreement, as soon as possible, the Führer will be elected and the general will participate in the negotiations. ”

On the way back, Hyde was assassinated by a bizarre assassin who turned out to be his personal bodyguard. An ominous premonition spread to the old man's heart: he might not survive to complete the election, and Dewey didn't know how long he could hold out. Since Huo Qimeng mentioned historical sinners, let the old man be a sinner again.
