The port authority offices of the Tun people look similar to those of human civil servants, and they are full of pretentiousness and uselessness.

De Niro and Lan Xiaolian were led directly to the innermost office as representatives.

"What's the point of the Enterprise's boatswain coming to our home planet?" The Swallowers, who looked like high-ranking officials, saw that De Niro came in with such a sentence, and it seemed that they were planning to give De Niro a disadvantage.

However, this did not shake De Niro's will, he shrugged his shoulders and responded lightly: "I didn't expect that I am quite well-known." ”

"No, it's just that I happened to have heard about it, and the entire Swallow Clan knows your name and can recognize your appearance, plus I'm only about ten. I can only say that your life is not good, and you will run into it when you come. ”

De Niro shrugged.

"So, why are you here?"

"I had some disagreements with the boss of the Enterprise on the formality, so I ran out with someone stealing one of his small boats, and of course some credits, after all, many people who had a holiday with the Enterprise knew that small boat, and I was not stupid enough to drive that ship around." De Niro spread his hands, "This kind of thing is quite common in the pirate industry, isn't it?" ”

"It's common for the boss and the second to have disagreements, but it's rare for the second to run away like this, as far as I know, this situation usually ends with the death of one of the boss and the second child."

"That's right," De Niro immediately picked up the other man's words, after all, these were all rehearsed words a long time ago. "So the Enterprise will soon be chasing after you, and the ship now has a seven-speed warp as long as the wind from here gets out. It'll be coming soon. ”

At this time, De Niro is really grateful that the Enterprise has not arrived here yet, otherwise he really doesn't know how to prevaricate here.

Of course, if the Enterprise arrives soon, then he will be in trouble - there is no explanation why the Enterprise came so quickly.

No, wait a minute, maybe there is a way to explain!

De Niro leaned forward suddenly, looking at the Swallower mysteriously: "Actually, I suspect that the Enterprise is already on its way this way. ”

The Swallower's expression was as De Niro had expected. The pits and valleys are full of "how is this possible".

Then De Niro made a gesture, a gesture common among mercenaries in the galaxy, which De Niro had learned from his benefactor. It means "plugging in the cable" and means that there is a message to be shared that requires the highest level of secrecy.

The Swallower hesitated for a moment before pulling out the data cable from his drawer and handing one end to De Niro. The other end is connected to the synapses of the human-computer interaction system behind itself - every modern Thun has this thing. In fact, most of the upper civilizations of modern interstellar societies have similar human-computer interaction methods, such as the chips of the Turle people, the brain companions of the Tula people, and so on.

Once the data line was connected, De Niro sent a set of information that he had just concocted, from which it could be inferred that the properties of the relic obtained by the Enterprise had been partially unearthed, and that it could now somehow track the warp path of a particular ship.

Of course, this is nonsense, so De Niro added some information that the port authority security officer in front of him is unlikely to get directly, such as the fact that he has created some super-civilization relics that do not exist. There are other things that don't do much but add realism.

The Swallowers stared at De Niro suspiciously, finally. He sighed.

"Actually, I'm not the Port Authority's security officer, I'm ...... It's a little more remarkable than you think," De Niro was slightly surprised by the Swallower's words, but he didn't show it, but waited for the other to continue, "Because my status is much higher than the average security officer, I know that these things you gave me are probably true. ”

De Niro wasted a lot of effort to keep his poker face and didn't show a "damn retarded" expression.

The other party continued: "As I said just now, there are only about ten people in the Quantun clan who can recognize all the officers of the Enterprise, and they are basically high-ranking officials of our race in terms of intelligence and security, and I am just one of them. I also know that you are now fighting against an organization commonly known as the 'Order'. ”

"It's good to talk about the organization, why bother talking so much." De Niro couldn't help but complain, and while spitting, he sighed that he was also led crooked by Lin Youde and Enleko.

Because the previous conversations were all conducted through data cables, his sudden opening was extremely abrupt, which made Lan Xiaolian, who had been expressionless beside him, raise his eyebrows slightly.

"That's right, it's organized. From what information we have, the organization has been working with Greg Greygood, one of our large families of the Tun clan. The political system of our Devouring clan is different from that of you humans, although they are all big families in power, but since the military-industrial complex represented by the Lin clan came to power, you humans have been a de facto militaristic civilization, or, in the words of our alien behaviorists, a completely capitalist militarism. The politics of our Swallowing tribe is more like the aristocratic republic that you humans once had, but the way we advocate the highest good makes this republic very harmonious. ”

"Does this have anything to do with the issue we're discussing?" De Niro asked.

"There is no direct relationship, just a background note, and the next point is the point: in this political system, we have no way to interfere in the affairs of other families by strong administrative means, I mean, without violating the laws of the clan and without turning their backs on the way of the supreme good, each family involved in the aristocratic republic has relatively independent decision-making power, so in our politics, if we want to sanction a family, we have to find a way to frame it for violating the way of the supreme good."

"Planting." De Niro repeated what he thought was the point of the passage.

"I'm just telling the truth. Now we, my family, are very concerned about the work that the Greg Grugood family is doing on the first moon of my fifth planet, and we think it has something to do with the organization, and in fact everyone thinks it has something to do with the organization, and we think that project could disrupt the social harmony of the current Swallowers. ”

"That being the case. Then the largest families will join forces, destroy the fleet of the Greg Gregord family, and force their way to the planet to see what is going on. Isn't that bad? ”

"Oh, that's against the way of the best." The Swallow Clan's chief who was posing as a security officer shrugged his shoulders, and his shrugging motion was exactly like that of a real human.

"Come on, you don't really believe in the way of the best......"

"But our people believe," interrupted De Niro, "that the history of your humanity is too short, and what is your oldest faith?" Greek mythology? Egyptian mythology? Or Zoroastrianism? All of them are no more than 10,000 years old. I'm going to say more, and not only that, but all these beliefs eventually broke down. Now you have two major faiths, one is Christianity and the other is Horse Religion, one is only more than two years old, and the other is only four hundred years old. And we have been since the Jiasu people threw the way of perfection over. It's been more than 10,000 years. There is no discontinuity in it, and this belief is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"The result of more than 10,000 years of continuous propaganda is that once we do something that goes against the supreme good, the people will instantly turn their backs on us, and even if we do find a great contradictory device on the satellite after rushing up, the people will burn us at the stake."

"Listen," De Niro leaned forward, looking at the Thourers. Said through the data cable, "I was before I got on the Enterprise Account. Serving in the paratroopers of hell, in my experience, when the people have an opinion, we blow up something, and as long as we blow up enough, the people will become unopinionated. ”

"That's why you're considered barbarians." The Swallower shook his head repeatedly, and the data lines attached to the synapses swayed from side to side with this action, "If you want to truly become the superior race of the galaxy, you must learn to deal with problems more elegantly. ”

"For example, like the Oldwell people just 'burn glass balls'." De Niro couldn't help but say, "Elegant!" The whole planet is made of glass, and it must be beautiful to look at. ”

"I'm sorry for the offense." The Swallow tribe is worthy of being a harmonious race, and it is very simple to sincerely apologize, "All in all, we can't just rush to that satellite to see what is going on there." We also tried to infiltrate the spies, but failed. The Gregrengood family took a very effective measure, and everyone on that satellite was only allowed to enter except for the cargo ship pilot and the head of their family, Hohenheim. ”

"Then buy the pilots of the cargo ship."

"Bought it, half of the pilots who are now sending supplies to that place are our men, but we haven't been able to get any useful information. After all, it is strange in itself that such a classified project does not use an unmanned spacecraft, or simply allows supplies to fly by inertia and land on satellites, as if it were specially given us a crack to penetrate. ”

The other man stopped and stared at De Niro, as if to test whether De Niro understood.

De Niro nodded: "I do feel this way, by monitoring the actions of your bribed pilots, the other party has probably figured out a lot of details of your intelligence network." ”

"That's right. So the operation has recently stopped, but we still want to know what the hell is going on on that planet. The Swallower paused, "So, now let's summarize, we want to know what is going on on the satellite, this project on the satellite is related to the organization, you are working against the organization, understand?" ”

De Niro nodded: "Understood, you want the Enterprise to attack that satellite indiscriminately." ”

"That's it! We will provide you with backup, from intelligence to supplies, and ways to escape. ”

"However, I want to warn you, I've already fallen out with the boss of the Enterprise......"

"Come on, that's just the setting, isn't it? You're here to play the front station. I'm six times your age, and if I'm fooled by such lame rhetoric, I'll live in vain. ”

De Niro thought to himself, you clearly took the false information I gave you seriously.

However, forget it, the enterprise number hasn't arrived anyway, so let's talk to these people first and see the situation.

After making up his mind, De Niro said, "I don't have the right to decide, and the final decision is up to the boss." However, before the boss comes, I can try to see if I can help you. Now, whether to release the seizure of my ship first, you know, this looks very conspicuous. ”

"On the contrary, your ship will be completely confiscated, and you will be 'imprisoned', but, of course, there will be a non-existent ship in the meantime - I see, just now, entering the port, and the crew on board is all human, they are legitimate merchants, and they have all the formalities to move freely in the Gregu system. You'll have a real ship by this time tomorrow, but for now, it's just a ghost ship that only exists on the entry record, and it's easy to get exposed, so you'd better not do anything for the rest of the day. ”

As he spoke, the Swallower took out a stack of ID cards from a drawer and pushed them in front of De Niro.

"If you get the ID, it means that we have negotiated."

De Niro spread his hands and picked up his ID cards. (To be continued.) )
