Half an hour later, the edge of the solar system.

A warship is quietly suspended under the stars, its white hull is elegant and smooth, gentle and natural.

Not far in front of the white ship, several wormholes opened at the same time, and a flame-class battleship passed through the holes, facing the white ship in the air.

The two warships sent a request for contact at the same time, quickly suggesting direct communication, and through the screen, representatives of both sides met.

The representative of the giant is a slender woman, although her dress and hairstyle do not quite conform to the mainstream aesthetics of human beings, but her demeanor is very dignified.

Ou Zhanpeng couldn't help but muttered in his heart, what kind of planes are these descendants of prehistoric civilizations doing?

"I am the plenipotentiary of the Radiant Empire, Duke Misha of the First Rank." Said the woman on the screen.

She said the lingua franca, and the name rice yarn is just a transliteration according to human habits, and it actually sounds like it can be said to be silly, ice sand or sick yarn.

Ou Zhanpeng couldn't help but complain: Empire? Is he still a nobleman?

"I am Gong Yiding, the plenipotentiary of the earth." The director of the palace is dignified and well-dressed, and even the tips of the tail front hair are obedient and close, without a trace of messiness, and he is as handsome as if he came out of a painting.

This is the line he specially prepared for the negotiation, and he just finished printing it before sending it out, so it's no wonder that it's not smooth!

The military's original negotiator was Shan Qiuyu, but the language problem was a hurdle that the two sides could not get around.

Although the military has arranged for many people to learn the lingua franca, with the assistance of translation equipment, there is no obstacle to daily communication, but in such a formal occasion, you can't always keep an eye on the translation equipment, right?

There was really no way, Gong Yiding, who had a mechanical body, was temporarily grabbed by the military and became a negotiator.

Gong Yiding also planned to say a few words of greeting according to human customs, but Misha didn't understand human customs, so she spoke bluntly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Your Excellency Gong Yiding, I am entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor to establish a formal alliance with the earth, but I don't feel your sincerity."

Gong Yiding was very dissatisfied with Misha's aggressiveness, and asked rhetorically without humility or arrogance: "What kind of sincerity does Your Excellency Misha want to see?"

"At the very least, there should be no place for formal negotiations, even if it's in outer space on Earth!"

Gong Yiding smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, this is impossible, including you, we have had several unpleasant conflicts with foreign civilizations, and the appearance of your warship in the outer space of the earth is likely to cause unnecessary chaos, I believe that Your Excellency Misha can understand our concerns."

"I'm sorry, I don't understand." Misha said.

"Didn't prehistoric civilizations know what euphemism was?" Gong Yiding asked.

The mechanical body has many advantages, the front can deal with the rice yarn with raised eyebrows and vertical eyes, and the back can also talk to Ou Zhanpeng through the radio.

"Maybe the lingua franca can't be tactful, can you?" Ou Zhanpeng asked curiously.

"I can't." Gong Yiding replied regretfully, and faced Misha again, "Your Excellency, Misha, you came too suddenly, and we didn't prepare in advance, so we were a little lazy. But where you negotiate doesn't matter to your alliance, does it?"

"I want to be treated as I deserve!" Rice yarn insisted.

"Let's not waste time." Gong Yiding also insisted. ….

After a moment of stalemate, Misha finally relented: "Okay then." She was still dissatisfied but no longer dwelling, "The Empire intends to ally with Earth, what do you mean?"

Gong Yiding immediately became official: "Based on the principle of equality, mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation, we agree to form an alliance with you."

"Good!" Misha finally smiled, "So, let's talk about the terms of the alliance."

"It's a guest, please first!" Gong Yiding gave in very gentlemanly a step.

It's not that they don't want to say it first, but the military can't figure out what the other party's purpose is, and they must speculate on the true intentions of the giant civilization through the other party's speech.

Misha didn't know what politeness was: "First of all, we are all human beings, with common origins and enemies, so we must fully cooperate militarily and economically, what about your opinion?"

"Agreed!" Gong Yiding is concise and to the point.

These few sentences are pure nonsense, who said that giants don't know how to greet each other?

Misha finally smiled a little, "So, is there a problem that the Empire wants Earth to open ports and facilitate trade between the two sides?"

"Nope!" Gong Yiding said.

Even if it is not aligned, it is a good thing to be able to trade with advanced interstellar civilizations, and there is no reason to refuse at all.

"The Empire needs a piece of land to build an embassy, and in exchange, the Empire will also provide a piece of land to establish an embassy on Earth, is there a problem?"

"Nope!" Gong Yiding said again.

Embassy, what's there to hesitate about?

"We want to hire humans to serve the Empire, is there a problem?"

This time, Gong Yiding didn't answer directly: "How to hire? How is it served?"

"To put it simply, we intend to hire a group of humans and take them out of the solar system to serve the Empire directly."

Gong Yiding's brows tightened again, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Agree in principle, but it must be on the basis of my own volition, and personal safety, payment of honorarium, and other details must also be carefully discussed."

He was not thinking at all, but asking for the opinion of the earth.

The bigwigs are not in agreement on this issue.

If the treatment can keep up, it is no different from ordinary international labor exports, but if the other party harbors evil intentions, then the hired humans are likely to become slaves under the control of giants.

This is an outcome that no one wants to see, so you have to be cautious, not even the slightest risk.

"No problem!" Misha thought that this was an agreement, and actually showed a little excitement, "We have enough warships, but we have been short of manpower, I believe that the earthlings are a good supplement."

Gong Yiding's pupils shrank: Okay, mercenary? Then we have to talk about it.

The bigwigs who were far away on Earth were also very surprised, and there was some hesitation in addition to that.

This *** girl just said the answer directly? It's a bit abnormal, right? Is it a deliberate attempt to mislead everyone's mind?

Misha continued, "We also want to get the right to mine!"

"No." Gong Yiding didn't think about it, "What you need, we can sell it, but the mining rights can't."

Misha thought for a moment, "Okay, remove this one!"

As long as you can get those rare minerals, it's not a big deal if you can't get mining rights. ….

"There is also the right of free navigation, whether it is a warship or a civilian spaceship, you can freely travel between the planets of both sides, and you will have priority to call at the port for supplies, is there a problem?"

Free navigation?

These words are like a wave of overpressure surge, touching the most sensitive memory in Gong Yiding's heart.

"Yes!" He responded in unison.

Misha was surprised: "What's wrong with free navigation?"

"We don't have any plans to open up all of our airspace." Gong Yiding said, "Spaceships traveling to and from the solar system can only dock at the location designated by us, and without permission, no spacecraft, warships, or other aircraft are allowed to enter the solar system without permission, let alone get close to the earth, otherwise we have the right to destroy them!"

Just kidding, don't you know what kind of attitude the shallow cloud star has towards foreign spaceships?

Besides, the other party has four administrative stars, several generations of civilizations, how many warships and how many spaceships? If it is free to dock, it will not take three days to fill up the solar system, and then won't all the arrangements fall into the eyes of the other party?

Misha's whole person is not good: "Are you kidding? As I already said, our ships need to be docked at port first for repairs and supplies, can't you even do such a simple thing?"

"Repairs are possible, and supplies are fine, but they must be in the location we designated!" Gong Yiding didn't give an inch.

Misha roared angrily, "Damn primitives!"

This is not a lingua franca, and no one can understand what she says, otherwise the negotiations will be immediately suspended.

After taking a few deep breaths, Misha barely calmed down: "That's good,

It's up to you to take the spot, but you must ensure the absolute safety of our aircraft!"

"I can't guarantee it." Gong Yiding said.

Misha was stunned, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears.

Gong Yiding continued: "We can only ensure the safety of the alien spacecraft within the scope of our ability, and if it exceeds our ability, we can only say sorry."

Misha kept comforting herself in her heart, the primitive civilization was so petty, and it took a while to suppress the anger in her heart: "If you can't guarantee even the most basic security, then we can send a fleet over to guard the safety of the earth!"

What the hell?

This time it was Ou Zhanpeng's turn to feel that there was something wrong with his ears: "What does she mean? Is this an attempt to garrison troops in the solar system?"

Gong Yiding's fire jumped up: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The bigwigs on Earth mean the same thing.

"Open him. Mother. What intergalactic joke? Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have not lost an inch of land, and why do we still garrison troops, thinking it is the old society?"

"What aliens? How many more heads do aliens have? Really let aliens settle in, how can I see my ancestors after a hundred years? I can't afford to lose that person!"

Gong Yiding's fierce reaction confused Misha: "Why? Since you don't have enough strength, isn't it normal to garrison?"

"No, it's not normal!" Gong Yiding glared angrily, but he soon found that Misha's expression did not look like a disguise, and there seemed to be some misunderstanding in it, "Why do you think the garrison is normal? Do you think that the Alliance is all about annexing the Earth to your empire?"

Misha asked puzzled, "Isn't it?" ….

"Of course not!" Gong Yiding was so angry that he almost jumped up.

Ou Zhanpeng also understood that the so-called alliance is not to form an alliance, but to join the Glorious Empire, which is the meaning of the Federation.

"Okay, if this is really added, do you still have to listen to the orders of the emperor?" Ou Zhanpeng said mockingly, "Lao Tzu's knees are hard, he kneels to the heavens and the earth to his ancestors, and he can't kneel to the emperor and general!"

Countless martyrs threw their heads and shed their blood to overthrow the feudal rule and lay down this country, and joining the glorious empire is not a reversal of history?

Just give a little benefit, and the Blue Star will become your territory, so why is this a daydream?

Gong Yiding and Misha fought for a while before they let the other party understand the difference between the alliance and the franchise, but Misha was also angry, arguing endlessly on this issue, and the eyes of the two people clashed fiercely, if it weren't for the screen, Ou Zhanpeng was afraid that the two of them would choke on Mars.

After a full half hour, Gong Yiding finally persuaded Misha, but the other party was also at the critical point of an imminent explosion.

Ou Zhanpeng has a feeling that this negotiation will not be able to continue.

Misha's tone was extremely harsh: "We are going to set up a factory nearby to manufacture advanced equipment to improve the overall environment of the earthlings, is there a problem?"

Not even allowed by the garrison, she didn't expect humans to agree to this at all, it was nothing more than a formality to give the emperor a reasonable explanation.

Gong Yiding raised his eyebrows, isn't this just investing in setting up a factory?

"No problem!" He said.

Misha was stunned, why did she agree again? I really don't understand how the brain circuits of these primitive people grow!

"Also, we want to get the Prophet's technology or information, all of it."

Gong Yiding was categorical: "Impossible!"

Misha was angry, the most important purpose of this trip was to get the information of the prophet, how dare these damn primitives refuse?

She immediately turned on the squirting mode, and started a fierce confrontation with Gong Yiding about the prophet's question.

But neither side could convince anyone, and in the end they broke up.

The earth side highly affirmed Gong Yiding's performance, and then, the bigwigs had a long discussion on the conditions proposed by the giant civilization, which one can be appropriately relaxed, which one must not be compromised, and which one can be tightened again, all of them came up with accurate opinions for Gong Yiding's reference.

Both sides had their own demands, and no matter how anxious they were, they had no intention of interrupting the negotiations, and it didn't take long for them to re-agree on the time to continue the discussions.

The content of the discussion this time was much more detailed, and Gong Yiding and Mi Sha did not give in to each other, and the negotiation collapsed again.

In this way, several times, the collapse talked, and the terms of the alliance gradually became clear.

To put it simply, after the alliance, the Earth is nominally part of the Radiant Empire, but this is only externally, internally, and the Empire does not have any dominion over the Earth, only in the name of a Dominion.

The Imperial Fleet is obligated to ensure the safety of Earth, but this one is in name only because of the refusal to allow the Imperial Fleet to settle in.

In addition to military and economic and trade, everything else is a small detail, and when it comes to this time, it is not Gong Yiding and Misha that can decide, the two sides have successively introduced negotiation teams and repeatedly clashed on various details.

Misha couldn't help but say the implementation, angrily accusing humans of being too stingy and too serious.

Gong Yiding unceremoniously slammed back: If you are not stingy, you are not serious, then you give in!

"With this kind of person, there is nothing to be polite!" Director Gong Da said this to Ou Zhanpeng afterwards.

Ou Zhanpeng thinks so.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month, the two sides have basically reached an agreement and are about to formally form an alliance.

But when the alliance was officially signed, the Xingzhou once again sounded the alarm, and when Ou Zhanpeng rushed to the general control room, he was stunned to see more than a dozen wormholes appearing at the edge of the solar system at the same time, and one after another the battleships with pure black hulls passed through the holes.

Ou Zhanpeng seemed to be poured down by a basin of ice water, and roared uncontrollably: "Alarm, alarm, highest alarm-".
