Chapter 161: Cultural Exchange
In the Gliese 393 galaxy, in the Space Base of the Temple of Peace jointly built by the Blue Moon Civilization and the Southern Star Civilization, in an auditorium, on the stage, a group of tall and fat Blue Moon people, dressed in a complicated manner, with a lot of sequins and unknown bright stripes, are holding various strange musical instruments playing, and bursts of sounds similar to human civilization, the sound of saws sawing wood, mixed with the sharp sound of some metal scratching on the glass, etc., are constantly transmitted.
In the audience, the members of the Southern Star Civilization Negotiation Group, as well as the members of the Blue Moon Civilization Negotiation Team who were responsible for accompanying them, were all shaking their heads there, looking intoxicated.
The same is true of Black War, the head of the Southern Star Civilization Negotiation Group. It's just that on the surface, he is full of disdain in his heart.
He knew in his heart that the clothes worn by those Blue Moon musicians were their traditional ceremonial clothing, and they would only be worn on more important occasions. Although this is enough to show that the Blue Moon Civilization attaches great importance to this concert and respects itself and others. But he really didn't appreciate it.
The clothes seemed to him to be no different from beggar's clothes.
And this music. Although this orchestra is known as the pinnacle of art in the Blue Moon Civilization, it has been sought after by countless Blue Moon people, and has even been received by the Grand Commander of the Blue Moon Civilization. But to my own ears, those so-called music are really unbearable and can't be appreciated.
But for the sake of superficial etiquette, he can still only maintain an intoxicated appearance on the surface.
I don't know how long it took, but when the black war was tormented by this music and some wanted to urinate, the performance finally ended. The members of the orchestra bowed down with a reserved salute, and finally the black war, who no longer had to endure the torture, also applauded from the bottom of their hearts.
After the applause subsided, Hei Zhan looked at the head of the Blue Moon Civilization negotiation group who was two or three circles larger than himself, and was also the military commander of the Blue Moon Civilization, Lan Xiang.
"Your Excellency Lan Xiang, your civilized music is really cleansing, and I feel that I have been baptized from the inside out. This is the charm of music, and your civilization has almost reached the peak of its development in terms of music, and it can compete with the top orchestras of our civilization. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lan Xiang's size covertly, a little jealous in his heart.
Because of the different environments of the home planet, the Blue Moon people are generally tall and fat, and they are generally more than 1.9 meters tall. The average size of the Southerners is only 1.5 meters.
Lan Xiang smiled and said, "I propose that after the negotiation is over, our two civilizations can have a cultural exchange meeting. When the time comes, we can let our civilized orchestra and your civilized orchestra perform on the same stage and communicate with each other. ”
"This is a good thing, rest assured, Your Excellency, I will do my best to make this happen."
The two heads of the negotiation team agreed on the follow-up matters in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, and finally left in an atmosphere of reluctance, like a pair of old friends with deep feelings, completely forgetting that the two teams were still tense at the negotiation table in the morning, and almost fought.
Returning to his civilized station, the smirk on Hei Zhan's face disappeared in an instant and became gloomy.
In the past few days, the negotiations with the Blue Moon Civilization have not progressed much. The other party simply didn't get in, and it was obvious that he was also ready to fight a long-term battle, and he was under tremendous pressure.
It seems that it is time to think of another way, to open a breakthrough as soon as possible.
The Black War began to think. But before he could think of anything, a staff officer hurried to his room.
"Commander, an urgent battle report from Wang Liang's three-star department. The commander-in-chief of the front, Lu Wente, reported that the Blue Moon Civilization fleet had attacked our Yunguang air carrier a day earlier, and the explorers observed the flash of a hydrogen bomb at the coordinates of the mothership. By now, this mothership should have been completely destroyed. ”
"What?!"
Hei Zhan was taken aback, and then he was furious: "Despicable, shameless! ”
As a qualified politician and military strategist, after the initial outrage, the war quickly regained its calm. After a few moments, he felt a chill from within.
"The front-line command has been infiltrated by the Blue Moon Civilization. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to know the coordinates of the space carrier, let alone make arrangements in advance to launch an ambush on the route.
However, a sneak attack and destruction of a Helicarrier is not enough to affect the overall situation of the war. Not...... I understand. This is a deterrent, a show of force. ”
The meaning behind this move is clear.
If I have the ability to sneak up and destroy one of your Helicarriers, then of course I will have the ability to do more and bigger things and wreak havoc on you. But I didn't do it. I only destroyed one helicarrier.
To put it simply, the Blue Moon Civilization is showing its muscles to itself through this incident! The purpose of showing muscles is not to think about it at all, it is nothing more than to force oneself to make concessions at the negotiating table!
The look of the black war was even more gloomy. He recalled what Lan Xiang, the military commander of the Blue Moon Civilization, said to him at the end of today's concert.
It is proposed to hold a cultural and artistic exchange meeting between the two civilizations, and then perform on the same stage to exchange ideas......
It is certain that for this sneak attack on the Yunguang Aerospace Helicarrier, the Blue Moon Civilization must have been planning for a long time. The result of the sneak attack, Lan Xiang must have known before himself.
He should have known about it at the concert.
So...... What was he hinting at at himself at the end of the concert?
Perhaps, Wang Liang's three-star system is the stage, and his own fleet and the opponent's fleet are performers from the two major civilizations? The fleets of the two sides are on the stage of Wang Liang's three-star system, "performing on the same stage"?
Is there any communication, is it a hint that there has been some communication between the fleets of the two sides, implying that the other side has infiltrated their own side, so they can know the coordinates and route data of the Yunguang space carrier?
At this moment, every movement, every smile, and every word of Commander Lan Xiang at that time seemed to have some kind of implicit meaning at the moment of the Black War.
He felt that the negotiations between the two civilizations had faced a new situation, and it was necessary to make a new judgment.
"Contact the Speaker, contact the Commander-in-Chief of the Front, Luvent, and hold a tripartite meeting."
The Black War made a decision.
At this moment, the Blue Moon Cabin of the Temple of Peace. In the conference room, Lan Xiang, the military commander of the Blue Moon Civilization, was quite high-spirited: "Today's concert looks good, it fully demonstrates the profound cultural and historical heritage of our civilization, and it must also make the Black War feel our goodwill and sincerity."
Now that there is progress, strike while the iron is hot. Contact the home planet and immediately plan for a cultural exchange meeting. ”
