Although the meeting at the welcome banquet between two high-profile war heroes, Jiang Ziyue and Robb, seemed rather unpleasant, the painstaking bargaining in the early stage and the eagerness of all parties to achieve the set goals allowed the negotiations in the new Chongqing to go smoothly.

The Perseus Federation and the New Roman Empire have reached an agreement and decided to hold the most important prisoner exchange ceremony on the planet "Taiji" on September 19, and the core figures are Song Xiaoyu of the Federation and Li Jingxian of the Empire, and the venue is "Taiji" Square in Xin'anyang City.

Therefore, the relevant personnel were sent to the "Taiji" planet in advance, and under the supervision of the Interstellar Red Cross, they were guarded by the interstellar marines of all parties, and the peripheral security was taken care of by the special police of the Public Security Bureau under the Mayors' Alliance.

Shao Shuhua, the mayor of the new Shanghai Municipality, did not think it was wise, and at the daily roundtable video conference of the Mayors Alliance, she told her colleagues in a rather worried tone: "If those with ulterior motives want to take advantage of this opportunity to cause chaos, won't we be passive!" ”

"The Public Security Bureau's comprehensive intelligence shows that the remnants of the 'African' and 'New Rhine' planetary rebellions have been attached to the anti-'Antnest' organization 'Dragon Slayer Society', and have successfully infiltrated the planet 'Taiji', and may also be carrying heavy weapons!"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing retro Zhongshan glasses and a kind face, he was the director of the security bureau known as the "number one spy" of the planet "Taiji", Sawada: Although "Taiji" was nominally a provincial planet ruled by the New Roman Empire, Sawada's daimyo was the same as Ibrahim, the imperial patriarch in charge of intelligence work? Root? Abdulaziz and Dai Yunong, director of the Perseus Interstellar Federal Security Council, are tied for two.

"Are they trying to sabotage this prisoner exchange?" Xia Zhengxun, the new mayor of Beijing, asked.

"We couldn't find any direct evidence!" Sawada replied, "We can't even figure out the number and scale of their infiltration, they used the trade channels of the two countries in 'Taiji' to infiltrate, but they did it very hidden!" ”

"The middle liberal course we pursue does have its disadvantages!" Xiao Fengyi, the new mayor of Shenzhen, couldn't help but sigh.

"There are pros and cons in everything, and since you choose an open-door policy, you will inevitably mix in dirty things!" The rotating chairman, the new mayor of Bian Liang, Bai Shichang, said: "Director Sawada, have you asked 'Taiyi' for help regarding the possible infiltration of the 'Dragon Slayer Society'? ”

"Yes, but Taiyi has made it clear that it will pursue a consistent position and will never interfere in our affairs!"

"Even if it's an attack against it!" The new mayor of Lin'an, Fang Chengyu, asked rhetorically.

Sawada replied: "'Taiyi' is not worried about this possibility, as it has always emphasized, the essence of the anti-'Antnest' organization is to oppose the control and rule of the Chinese, and it is an extension of the international anti-Chinese forces in the early Earth era in the interstellar age, so our struggle with the 'Dragon Slayer Society' is actually a civil war between human beings, and it has no reason or motive to intervene!" ”

"From the perspective of 'Taiyi', it is indeed not necessary to intervene; in the era of the earth more than 900 years ago, the Second Republic still calmly faced the strangulation and attacks of international anti-China forces and developed and grew under the unfavorable circumstances of not having an advantage, and now we Chinese already have a huge advantage in the two major forces of the Yingxian Spiral Arm Interstellar, and the Interstellar Anti-China Group obviously does not have much real threat!" Qiu Jinyuan, the new mayor of Tianjin, appeared very optimistic.

Liu Wengang, the new mayor of Guangzhou, disagreed, and reminded: "Mayor Qiu should not forget how General Su Yu died!" ”

"Of course, I remember very well that no matter what era, we Chinese have no shortage of traitors and lackeys, especially after the internal interest groups see that the external forces have the power to be used, these bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are more likely to be stirred up!" Qiu Jinyuan said indignantly.

At this time, Huang Haiyang, the mayor of Xinluoyang, said puzzled and dissatisfied: "'Taiyi' should be able to understand that it will be more helpful to help us unify the human world and integrate the resources of the Yingxian spiral arm, but it wants to play tricks and let us act as a-stirring stick!" ”

"Taiyi doesn't want to turn us into its tools, and on the contrary, it doesn't want to be our tools!" Zhang Tianyi, the mayor of the new Chang'an, explained.

"But in fact, we've been using each other all the time!" Tao Huaifen, the mayor of the new Jinling, said: "The threat of the 'Dragon Slayer Society' has evolved into a real one, and in addition, it has been two years since the Federation and the Empire discovered the interstellar planet 'Yi', and 'Taiyi' should be aware of the real deadly threat it faces!" ”

"Don't worry about that!" Liu Qianyi, the mayor of Chongqing, said: "'Taiyi' said that in their rules of survival, there is no such thing as killing each other!" ”

"But?" Yi' is obviously coming for 'Taiyi'! The new mayor of Lin'an, Fang Chengyu, emphasized.

"That's right, Liu Changchun shouldn't have activated the 'Yi' planet back then, causing it to discover the existence of 'Taiyi'!" Huang Haiyang, the mayor of New Luoyang, said that his tone was slightly regretful, as if he regretted the history of the expedition a hundred years ago.

"That's an inevitable historical process!" Qiu Jinyuan, the mayor of Tianjin, said: "Without Liu Changchun and his 'Yi Song' team, there would have been Zhao Changchun and other expedition ships discovering 'Yi' and activating it, just as our ancestors activated 'Taiyi'!" ”

"The biggest problem at the moment is that 'Taiyi' is both an outlier and an incomplete part of them, and it is clear that it retains too much for us!" The tone of the new mayor of Shanghai, Shao Shuhua, is not only full of worry, but also full of doubts.

"The Mayors' Alliance reached an agreement with 'Taiyi' at the beginning!" Qiu Jinyuan, the new mayor of Tianjin, is still full of confidence and optimism about the mayors' alliance itself and the so-called 'Taiyi'.

"Alright, let's get down to business!" The rotating chairman, the new mayor of Bian Liang, Bai Shichang, brought the topic back to the pragmatic level: "Since we are not clear about the real goal of the 'Dragon Slayer Society', nor are we clear about its ability to infiltrate the 'Taiji', and the 'Taiyi' does not want us to rely on it, then, I think, it is necessary to inform the representatives of the Empire and the Federation of the information of the 'Dragon Slaying Society'!" ”

"I agree!" Zhang Tianyi, the new mayor of Chang'an, immediately seconded the motion.

"I agree too!" Qiu Jinyuan, the mayor of Tianjin, is always so optimistic: "We have not been able to figure out the true strength of the 'Dragon Slayer Society', maybe we can take this opportunity to unite the forces of the empire and the federation and force them to reveal their original form!" ”

"I agree too!" Liu Wengang, the new mayor of Guangzhou, still maintained a pessimistic tone: "But we must not be blindly optimistic, in the battle of the 'Aegis' star field, the 'Dragon Slayer Society' was able to infiltrate the three flagships of the Imperial Central Fleet and launch a terrorist attack to affect the battle situation, which shows that its ability must be far beyond our imagination!" ”

"That's the Empire!" Tao Huaifen, the mayor of the new Jinling, spoke in a disdainful tone: "The internal defense work of the Central Fleet has long been riddled with holes, and it is easy to be infiltrated!" ”

"I have a suggestion, take this opportunity to also know the real reason for the destruction of the three flagships of the Central Fleet 'Constantine' and the representatives of the Empire and the Federation!" Sawada proposed.

"Then the vote begins!" Bai Shichang said: "Two bundled bills: first, to inform the representatives of the empire and the federation of the movements of the 'Dragon Slayer Society' and the reason for the self-explosion of the flagship of the 'Aegis' Star Field Battle; ”

"Yes!" Because the rotating chairman does not have the right to vote, Zhang Tianyi, as the new mayor of Chang'an, took the lead in voting.

Then the other ten mayors all agreed, and the two bills were unanimously passed, so Zhang Tianyi, the new mayor of Chang'an, said to the director of the security bureau, Sawada: "Director Sawada, you are now authorized to coordinate the Senate with the people of Rome and the delegation of the Immortal Star Federation to defend the matter!" ”

Sawada was not in a hurry to receive the order, and asked unhurriedly: "I think that after receiving the notification, the two countries will definitely ask for more troops on the ground on the grounds of strengthening defense, where is our bottom line!" ”

"Allow each of them to add a squadron of Marines, while the fleet still has to maintain its current position!" Zhang Tianyi replied without hesitation.

"But according to the Empire's bill, we have to allow the Empire to send more troops!" Liu Wengang, the mayor of Xinguang, reminded: "As long as there is a war on the planet 'Taiji', without our consent, the commander of the fleet under the command of the Senate can increase our troops at his discretion!" ”

"Don't worry about this, the war has not happened now, and the Federation has also assembled a large number of fleets, once the Imperial side makes a move, the Federation side will definitely take countermeasures, I believe that the commander of the Imperial side, Colonel Jiang Ziyue, is very clear!" Sawada analyzed.

"In short, our bottom line is that it is a squadron-sized Marine Corps, as a special administrative region under the nominal Senate, allowing the Imperial side to increase its strength appropriately, but not more than half of the strength of the Security Bureau's riot brigade, and we must ensure that the situation on the planet is in our own hands!" Zhang Tianyi gave the final instructions.

"Humble duty understands!" Sawada replied firmly.

Very Cao Cuixin and Jiang Ziyue, Shi Jingsheng and Luo Bo, the four of them were invited to the VIP reception room of the Public Security Bureau.

At that time, although the strength of the opponent was still unclear, everyone understood that neither side had many troops deployed on the ground, and with the police force of the Public Security Bureau, it was obvious that it would not be enough to face an opponent similar to the armed rebellion on the planet "New Rhine".

The "Dragon Slayer Club" is not completely new to the five Chinese who grew up in a community where Chinese people grew up.

Judging from the name alone: "Dragon Slayer Society" has obvious anti-Chinese connotations, after all, everyone knows that the Chinese tradition is to use the dragon as a totem, according to the archives published by the National Security Committee of the British Immortal Interstellar Federation, as early as the 24th century "Jupiter's Light" experiment before the Earth and solar system era, there was the existence of the "Dragon Slayer Society", and its original purpose was to oppose and subvert the People's Republic of China (known as the Second Republic) at that time.

History is often full of bitter irony: At the beginning of its founding, the backbone of the "Dragon Slaying Society" was actually Chinese with pure blood; a group of so-called "people" and "master" activists who had defected from the motherland gathered together some cult members, ethnic minorities, local separatists, and religious extremist terrorists who had been attacked by the authorities, and formed the "Dragon Slaying Society" with the support of international anti-China forces.

With the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the return of the Second Republic to the throne of the center of the world, the former great powers of the West and the Oriental countries had to change their anti-China tactics, turning the "Dragon Slayer Society" into an unprecedentedly powerful terrorist organization, repeatedly launching large-scale terrorist attacks on China and the Chinese, from the end of the 21st century to the 25th century: the "Dragon Slayer Society" has always been an underground terrorist organization that has been strongly attacked by the Second Republic.

With the great development of the Yingxian Spiral Arm interstellar world, the decline of the earth and the solar system, the grievances of the old world have been diluted for a while, but the grudges have not disappeared with the rest of the Second Republic, with the rise of the Anxian Interstellar Federation and the New Roman Empire, the Chinese have gradually mastered the dominance of the two major forces in the human world, and anti-Chinese ideas and forces have risen again.

Just as there is light and shadow, it is people who see the light and there will always be a shadow with them, and the Chinese in the interstellar world of the Immortal Spiral Arm are revived again: the "Dragon Slayer Society" has also revived, and the ingredients have become more complex because of the interstellar era, making the flame of anti-Chinese hatred more and more intense, but the spearhead of terror is different from the old era, in the past, it was aimed at the regime of Chinese mainland and the people under its rule, but now it is aimed at the Chinese under the two major forces of the British Immortal Federation and the Empire.

For hundreds of years, the terrorist activities against Chinese in various parts of the Yingxian Spiral Arm Star have been related to the "Dragon Slayer Society".

The most notorious terrorist attack occurred at the end of the 27th century, shortly after the "Swan Castle Revolution", a group of armed terrorists calling themselves the "Dragon Slayer Society", with the assistance of the interstellar pirate organization "Ingle", attacked a passenger ship full of Chinese immigrants "Cihang Bodhisattva", more than 10,000 unarmed Chinese passengers were slaughtered, and many high-ranking officials of the empire and the federation who died in the assassination in history were also confirmed to be committed by the "Dragon Slayer Society", and the assassination of Su Yu, who shocked the world, is also widely believed to be related to the "Dragon Slayer Society".

Naturally, whether it is the "people", "master", "self" and "by" British Immortal Interstellar Federation, or the "autocratic", "systematic", "autocratic" and "dictatorial" New Roman Empire, they have all carried out a strong blow to the "Dragon Slayer Society" without mercy.

Robb hated the "Dragon Slayer Society" even more because of what happened to his biological father, so when Sawada, the director of the "Taiji" Planetary Security Bureau, informed them of the infiltration of the "Dragon Slayer Society", he gritted his teeth:

"God-given opportunity, I will be the enemy to avenge my father's spirit!"

"Please don't be impulsive, Colonel Robb!" Jiang Ziyue calmly admonished Robo: "You are now standing on the planet under the rule of the Senate and the Roman people!" ”

"So what, Colonel Jiang Ziyue!" Robb retorted dissatisfiedly, "This is the planet where I once fought without fear!" ”

Obviously, he was still thinking about the "Void Temple Hijacking" in April 2918.

"It's a pity that you failed after all!" Jiang Ziyue immediately sneered, and he didn't forget the first head-to-head battle with Robb.

"Well, both, don't you think you're like an ignorant horseman? Together, we will face a new threat, an evil force that will disturb our peace! Sawada hurriedly stepped forward to stop the quarrel between the two rivals.

"Director Sawada is right, we must work together to protect this hard-won opportunity for peace!" General Cao Cuixin, deputy of the military tribune of the New Roman Empire, said.

"I agree with General Cao's statement, we should strengthen our vigilance and jointly guard against the attack that the 'Dragon Slayer Society' may launch at any time!" Admiral Shi Jingsheng, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Interstellar Commonwealth, also expressed his position.

It was obviously easier for the two old women to reach an agreement, so the sharp contradiction between Luo Bo and Jiang Ziyue was suppressed.

"This is the Senate and the Roman people, so naturally we must take the lead!" Jiang Ziyue made a clear statement, but he said again: "As the local magistrate, Director Sawada knows the situation of the 'Taiji' planet best, and it is more appropriate and appropriate for me to propose that he coordinate the actions of the two of us!" ”

"We agree that Director Sawada will coordinate the actions of both sides!" Shi Jingsheng did not hesitate to respond to Jiang Ziyue's proposal, which was actually a compromise approach, which was more acceptable to the Federation than having the New Roman Empire delegation directly lead the defense operation, after all, the autonomous status and neutral position of the "Tai Chi" Planetary Mayors Alliance and its Public Security Bureau, coupled with the traditional relationship with the Federation, were grounds for trust.

"I hope that the 'Tai Chi' planetary authorities will allow more marines to be sent from space to support!" Robb followed up with his boss's words and made a request.

Sawada was about to explain to Rob, but Jiang Ziyue preemptively said: "Please believe in the power of the Senate and the Roman people!" ”

"Oh,!" Robb deliberately lengthened his tone to make his skeptical tone more obvious and straightforward.

"Please also trust the ability of the 'Tai Chi' Planetary Security Bureau!" Sawada followed up and said: "We can handle the 'Dragon Slaying Meeting' well and ensure the smooth progress of the peace talks!" ”

Robb did not intend to give up his insistence, but Admiral Shi Jingsheng, as his immediate boss, preemptively stated: "We believe in the security capabilities of the Senate and the people of Rome and the planet 'Taiji' under their jurisdiction!" ”

"Thank you for your trust!" Sawada said: "Then please return to your respective hotels immediately, arrange your operations, and I will send additional troops to go and coordinate with all parties!" ”

"I wish us a smooth and enjoyable cooperation!" Shi Jingsheng said and shook hands with the other three optimistically to say goodbye.

Robb had no choice but to leave with him.

After Shi Jingsheng and Luo Bo left, Jiang Ziyue immediately asked Sawada eagerly: "Director Sawada, do you have more detailed information about the 'Dragon Slaying Society'?" Especially on the side of the Central Fleet and the Border Fleet! ”

Sawada looked at him and said unhurriedly: "Colonel Jiang, I know the point of your concern, but I must tell you that we know very little, and the only thing that is clear is that the civil war of the Chinese in history will always induce foreign enemies to invade!" ”
