……

After some time.

He Chou, who had withdrawn from Xinning's side and returned to the diplomatic team to deal with trivial matters, had just entered the floor of the diplomatic team's office building in the naval department.

All the team members stood up and saluted He Chou.

He Chou nodded one by one, walked to the logistics machinery where the diplomatic team was stationed with an invoice, entered his ID, and asked the star sector to reimburse the invoice.

"Claim No. 23 you submitted: A gold necklace worth 70,000 Star Coins was purchased for the Titanium Civilization Ambassador in the Tyrone 3 business district, and this claim has been submitted."

When they heard the sound of the logistics machine, all the team members stood up and looked at the team leader in shock.

"What necklace did you buy and cost 70,000?"

"We sent the old team leader to the Ministry of Intelligence, and the practice meal and various gifts, plus the hired cat man song and dance troupe, it only cost a total of one hundred and two! Five coins is enough for a family to eat and drink for a month! What necklace did you buy and cost 70,000 yuan?! ”

"Such an outrageous claim will lead to you being reviewed by the Star Zone!"

The doubts of the group members seem to be completely justified in He Chou's opinion.

Precious metals such as gold and silver can be synthesized directly in the Star Zone, which makes the price of luxury goods really low.

Even if the brand value is high, spending 70,000 yuan to buy it is a bit groundbreaking.

"Do your job." He Chou glanced at his subordinates and didn't explain anything.

The team members took their eyes off the team leader and focused on the logistics machinery.

"Your claim has been received and processed by Master Intelligence, and 70,000 Star Coins have been remitted to the account of the diplomatic team." The logistic machine makes a prompt sound.

If He Chou's spending 70,000 yuan on a necklace as a gift is surprising enough, then the handling of this outrageous reimbursement application by the main control intelligence can make people feel like they have been struck by lightning.

He Chou returned to the office with a blank face and sat down to deal with the small matters of the diplomatic team.

These little things are often who has a conflict with whom, and the fight in the office is recorded and reported by the logistics machinery.

And all sorts of other trivial things.

He Chou was dealing with these affairs, and after a while, he suddenly thought of something and pressed the button on the desktop.

Immediately, a female team member walked into the office and looked at He Chou blankly.

"That Water Clan ambassador told me the day before yesterday that the Aethers were discussing the matter of the Blackstone Deposit, and said that if the result of the discussion came out, he would tell the Star Sector directly through diplomatic channels." He Chou said without raising his head.

"Uh-huh." The female team member nodded.

At this time, He Chou raised his head and asked, "What are you?" Shouldn't you tell me that the diplomatic team has not received any news about the outcome of the Esolate meeting recently? ”

"Oh." The female team member suddenly realized and shook her head vigorously, "No." ”

He Chou frowned slightly: "It's strange, they are not a certain department of the empire...... Twelve years ago, we discussed such a big thing, and we discussed it immediately, how could this be ......?"

The female team members looked at He Chou blankly.

"Go and ask." He Chou pointed to the door.

The female team members then turned around and left.

After the events of twelve years ago, a special communication channel was set up between the Star Sector and the Titans, and the dimensional communication station set up a special line for two-way communication for the Aether responsible for dealing with the colonization of the colonial world, which allowed the diplomatic team to directly contact the high-level of the Titanium colonial forces outside the Tyrone's Gate.

However, after the female team member returned, He Chou got the result that he was most dissatisfied with.

"Team Leader, our communications have been rejected."

"Rejected?"

He Chou looked confused, put down his pen and thought carefully, and then said: "The ambassador of the Water Clan is still on Tyrone Three. ”

The female team members looked at He Chou.

He Chou raised his gaze, stared at the female team member for two seconds, and then hooked his fingers.

The female team members leaned down and listened.

"Go and get in touch with Ambassador Xinning and ask about the outcome of the Ether meeting." He Chou whispered as if he was telling a secret.

Only then did the female team member realize what she should do, and immediately went to carry out the leader's order.

He Chou became nervous at this time, and he was no longer in the mood to deal with the trivial matters of the diplomatic team, he sat on the chair and kept shaking his legs, his eyes always staring at the door.

On the walls of the Imperial luxury, bought from the daughter of the first ronin merchant in the Sector, a three-thousand-year-old hanging bell was in motion, emitting an orderly, subtle mechanical sound.

Then, with the sound of the bell striking at the hour, the office door was pushed open.

The female team member walked into the office with a serious expression and reported: "I couldn't get in touch." Another colleague you brought with you went to Ambassador Xinning's room and didn't find anyone, and the resort world hotel said that Ambassador Xinning left after you left, and they said that Aether summoned them, so they left. ”

"They're gone?!" He was shocked, "Who let them go?" ”

The female team members were silent.

It's not the first time Xinning has come to the star area, she has been here many times before, and she has walked many times.

There is no need to even worry about sending it, Xinning can also go to Star Port, the capital of Tailong, to leave by boat according to the boat process.

No one stopped.

“……”

He Chou got up from behind his desk in silence and rubbed his face, feeling that something was wrong.

Xinning's resignation had happened before, but it was just that Aether urged him to hurry back and send luxury goods, and he left by himself.

But this time it's different.

Now the diplomatic team is waiting for the Ether meeting on the Titan's side to discuss the outcome of the Blackstone Deposit, and then they can negotiate and negotiate.

Xinning is gone, which means that the outcome of the discussion of the Aether Conference must not be a good result, so Xinning, as an important diplomat, was secretly notified to leave first to prevent him from encountering accidents in the Tyrone Star Zone.

The communication channel is disconnected, and Xinning is leaving...... Taken together, these two events can be seen as a precursor to war.

Thinking of this, He Chou's nose opened slightly, his eyes rolled twice to come up with a countermeasure, and immediately left the office and came to the rest of the diplomatic team.

Communication in the office was also heard by the team members.

"I'm going to contact the intelligence department to get that ambassador back!"

"I'll report to the Admiralty!"

“……”

There was panic in the diplomatic team.

It wasn't until He Chou signaled everyone to be quiet and everyone shut up that He Chou slowly spoke: "Take out the listening equipment!" Xinning may mention the results of the Aether meeting on the way back! ”

"Listening? None of them are on Tyrone Three, how can they listen? Someone questioned.

"That jewel! That 70,000 pieces of necklace! He Chou opened his dry mouth and pressed the question that was about to ensue with his shout, "That's the listening equipment I ordered from the technical department of the Ministry of Intelligence. ”

The crowd immediately began to act.

He Chou looked at the diplomatic team that was back in the busyness and began to think about what was going to happen next.

If the monitor hears Xinning talking about the outcome of the Aether meeting, and the result is really bad, then the monitor will be presented to the Sector higher-ups as evidence.

In the end, there is a high probability that the star sector will start a war with titanium.

War just because of a blackstone deposit? This seems to be a fantasy, but in fact, the contradiction between the star sector and titanium itself exists, and the gate of Tyrone directly restricts a direction of expansion of the titanium civilization, and many ways for the high-level army leaders of the aether and titanium civilization to obtain meritorious service are directly cut off.

It is not impossible for them to venture into war.

Thinking about this, He Chou muttered to himself.

"If the Titan took the initiative to make the decision to go to war, then let the Tyrone Navy give them a lesson imprinted on the tombstone of the species."
