Chapter 141: Talking about collapse
After General Peng Shanghui's words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and for almost a few seconds, time seemed to freeze.
"General Peng, I myself very much want to cooperate with the solar system, but unfortunately, I am relaying the decision of all the members of the Supreme Congress of the Blue Star Centauri after discussion." After the interpreter relayed the attitude expressed by the commander of the fleet, Admiral Peng Shanghui, the Maltese envoy Clone Thousand Three's arrogant attitude was slightly restrained, but there was still no apology in the eyes of the scarlet snake, and there was no special expression on the face with fangs and big mouths.
"Now that the attitude of the Centauri has been clear, the matter of cooperation between the two galaxies will be put aside for the time being. Mr. Special Envoy has come all the way to the Beacon for a few more days, and we will give the Centaur a final reply. The Commander of the Star Alliance Fleet softened his face slightly, and his words changed sharply, trying his best to ease the atmosphere.
"It's okay, I hope that the solar system side can recognize the strong advantages and strength of the Alpha Centauri galaxy, and give a clear answer before this seat leaves." Although the attitude of the Maltese envoy was a little more relaxed, the scarlet snake eyes were still staring at Admiral Peng Shangfeng, the commander of the Star Alliance fleet, and he still looked commanding.
"Mr. Special Envoy, stay and rest for now, and we will inform you as soon as we have a new reply." Peng Shangfeng, the commander of the Star Alliance Fleet, who had participated in many diplomatic occasions, strongly restrained his unhappiness and still politely made a gesture of invitation.
Under the guidance of the Star Alliance concierge, the Maltese envoy and his party dragged their big tails out of the meeting room of the Star Alliance Fleet Headquarters, took the VIP space shuttle through the bustling central government district, landed in the heavily guarded VIP area of the Beacon Space City, and entered the "Beacon Peace Hotel" arranged by the Covenant to stay.
"It seems that this Maltese envoy is not good!" After sending the Maltese envoy away, Peng Shangfeng asked the other personnel to retreat, and went to a secret room at the Star Alliance Fleet Headquarters with Chief of Staff Lu Feng, and sighed with a frown after sitting down.
"Let's not talk about the technology of the Centaur, this guy doesn't know any diplomatic etiquette at all, and he looks like Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and he really wants to beat it!" Lu Feng, the chief of staff next to him, was a little indignant, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of cloning one thousand three just now.
"Hmph, as the saying goes, two countries fight each other, and they don't kill them! We still have to talk about basic etiquette, after all, Maltese are not my own kind of creatures, and it is understandable if they don't understand human etiquette, but if Centaurius is self-absorbed and too superstitious about the advantages of their own galaxy, it is very wrong.
The Alpha Centauri galaxy is powerful, but today's Covenant is not the weak solar system of hundreds of years ago. Peng Shangfeng said with a sneer.
"It seems that those who oppose the establishment of diplomatic relations with Centauri are still justified, and the Maltese are indeed difficult to deal with." Lu Feng, the chief of staff of the fleet, paced back and forth on the square trail.
"I've never been optimistic about the outcome of the Maltese visit, after all, in the eyes of old expansive galaxies such as Alpha Centauri, the interstellar voyage of the solar system fleet has only flown 2.8 light-years away from the Earth so far, and has not yet reached the constellation Centauri, so it has no substantial influence on their homeland.
In fact, the purpose of arranging this meeting was to test the reality of the centaurs, and on the other hand, to silence the leaders and factions of the Star Alliance. If the alliance is established, I am still more optimistic about the King Kong people in the Sirius system. At least from the information currently available, the Vajra people are at least more reliable than the Maltese in appearance. Fleet Commander Peng Shangfeng pointed to the deployment diagram of the Star Alliance fleet on the holographic map.
"Yes, if I had to forge an alliance, I'd also prefer to unite with the Vajra of Sirius. After all, the King Kong people have no historical grievances with us. Judging from the Centauri data, this galaxy has always been maintained by expansion, and it is indeed not a wise move to ally with this tiger and wolf galaxy, and the star alliance is easily tied to the chariot of this galaxy. Lu Feng, the chief of staff of the fleet, was deeply touched.
"For the time being, let's stabilize the other party and observe for a while, in the current form of the Centauri and Sirius twin stars to compete for supremacy, we had better remain neutral, although the power of the Star Alliance has increased over the years, but if you are involved in either side of the hegemony, it is not enough to toss. Even if it is to buy the solar system an extra century or two of peace, it will be precious to the Covenant fleet. Fleet Commander Peng Shangfeng was thoughtful.
"Yes, a peaceful external environment is too important for the Star Alliance now, and at present, a lot of basic research is just in the period of rapid explosion, whether military or civilian technology, it has accumulated to the point in time when it is about to explode. As long as you fight for a few more centuries, the Star Covenant fleet will jump to a level in terms of speed and combat power, and there will be no need to be so cautious when the time comes. Chief of Staff Lu Feng agreed.
"Although maintaining neutrality is the current policy of the Star Alliance, the preparations that should be made still need to be made, peace cannot be prayed for, and the people who monitor the Maltese envoy and his spaceship have been arranged, right?" Fleet Commander Peng Shangfeng suddenly asked.
"At the point of view, these Maltese are still in the sky, and the security guards have been stationed near the hotel where the envoy is staying, not only to protect their safety, but also to arrest or kill these guys if they dare to provoke trouble!" Chief of Staff Lu Feng had a good chest, and gestured with his palm on his neck.
"Arresting or killing these guys can only be a last resort. After all, the visit of the Centauri envoy has caused a sensation in the whole solar system, and once these Maltese die at the beacon, not only will they not be able to account for the people, but the Covenant will also be relatively passive at the diplomatic level.
For these arrogant guys, the Covenant Council and the planets still have a lot of public opinion to establish diplomatic relations with them. Mr. Secretary-General is also going to meet with the Special Envoy of the Maltese. Fleet Commander Peng Shangfeng waved his hand and did not approve of killing the Maltese envoy on the spot.
"Don't worry, there are still security forces in this bit of proportion, as long as these guys stay honest and don't endanger the safety of the residents of Beacon Space City, the security forces will not take any action." Chief of Staff Lu Feng smiled slightly.
"By the way, according to the time of entering the gravitational range of the solar system, the Sirius envoy fleet should also be almost there." Commander Peng Shangfeng seemed to remember something and asked.
"According to the departmental fleet report, according to the speed of the gravitational starship, it should reach the airspace of the indicator light in two years." Chief of Staff Lu Feng called up the flight trajectory of the Sirius envoy warship from the holographic projection and said.
"Well, the past few years have been a critical period, so we can't be careless. Especially the moles inside, we must get rid of them as soon as possible, and we must not let these terrorists endanger the lives of ordinary people and damage the interests of the Star Alliance. Peng Shangfeng pointed to something.
"After all these years of investigation, the situation of these moles has been basically figured out, and tonight the intelligence bureau and special forces have begun to close the net, and it will not be long before these terrorists will be completely eradicated." Chief of Staff Lu Feng showed a hint of mystery on his face.
"It is important to act quickly and try to avoid collateral casualties." Commander Peng Shangfeng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and told Chief of Staff Lu Feng.
"Don't worry, Lao Peng, the actions are all carried out in secret, and the social impact is not great." Staff Officer Lu Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said.
In the following time, after discussing some important matters, the two senior leaders of the Star Covenant fleet left the hall of the Star Alliance fleet headquarters under the escort of the security personnel one after another, and disappeared into the night sky in a special shuttle.
Night.
Under the adjustment of the light source system designed by the Indicator Light Space City according to the earth's ecological environment and daytime changes, it becomes deeper and deeper.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the flying saucer-shaped indicator light space city was silent, thousands of houses were closed, and thousands of households turned off their lights; High-rise buildings are napping, buildings are asleep, and most of the citizens fall asleep.
Only overnight hotels, entertainment venues, large souvenir supermarkets, and military security areas are still lit up to welcome visitors from all over the planets.
Outside Space City.
The interstellar flights between the Indicator Light Space City and the planetary cities and Space City in the system are still busy, frequently entering and exiting the major interstellar ports of the Indicator Light, and the bright light emitted by the propulsion engine is dotted with the background of the starry sky in the dark universe, which is beautiful.
In the distance, the blue Earth is also in the night, covering an airspace of one million square kilometers, and the flying saucer-shaped indicator light space city is like a planet, propelled by ten giant nuclear fusion engines, moving around the earth at a uniform speed of the second universe. It spews out blue flames like a bright sun. The giant transparent energy shield that covers the sky above the city is like invisible armor, shielding it from radiation and meteorite dust from the universe, protecting the health and safety of the city.
In a remote building in Space City, the windows of the entire ten-story black building are blocked by black plastic curtains, and no light can be seen.
In the spacious hall on the fifth floor of the Black Building, holographic projections were flickering, and hundreds of armed men wearing black sun masks and carrying light and heavy energy weapons lined up in two lines, as if waiting for orders.
On the holographic projection screen in the center of the hall, the deployment route map of the fleets in each planetary system is marked, which looks like a large number. A figure also wearing a black sun mask was staring intently at the warships within the Covenant system, studying something.
"General, the Maltese envoy has arrived at the beacon, what instructions does His Majesty the Emperor have? Do you want to do it tonight? One of the soldiers in a black mask suddenly asked.
"His Majesty the Emperor instructed to hold the troops first, before the Centaur visiting starship entered the solar system, the Solar System Empire had already secretly contacted the Maltese envoy, and had received a promise from the other party to send troops to assist, His Majesty the Emperor believes that the Star Alliance guys and the Maltese envoy will not be able to negotiate with any results." Said the masked man, who was looking at the holographic projection.
"The starships in the Solar System Empire are all in place, and recently the Star Alliance seems to be aware of the movement of our warships, and has increased the frequency of rotation, if the opportunity is missed, once the Star Alliance finds clues, we will all be exposed, didn't the emperor take it into account?" The soldier in the black mask questioned.
"Poof!"
There was a sudden soft sound, and before the militant in the black sun mask could understand what was going on, there was an inexplicable blood hole in his head, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and blood flowed from the wound on his head.
"Dare to question the authority of His Majesty the Emperor, unworthy of being a member of the Sun Hurricane, and be executed in accordance with the law!" The figure that was originally staring at the holographic projection turned around, and the right hand holding the small energy pistol slowly retracted, and the voice was cold and abnormal.
"Who's in trouble?" The gaze of the figure wearing a black sun mask slowly swept over the ranks of militants, and his voice was full of murderous intent.
"Resolutely obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, swear allegiance to the solar hurricane, and give your life for the establishment of a new solar system empire!" All the militants hung their heads, not daring to look at the masked figure, and it was obvious that the shot just now had served as an example.
