As the main carrier of the Federation, the "Mammoth" is responsible for heavy cruising and deterrence tasks, and did not have the opportunity to stay for a long time when it came to the "Sea Shrimp II World Realm" for gold transportation missions, generally out of polite considerations, the senior officers were invited by the natives to dine, rest for a night, and then count the gold and load it on the ship before returning to Earth.

But this time, because it had the task of showing the solemn attitude of the Federation and secretly strengthening the momentum of the 'special envoy', the mothership stopped at the indigenous harbor and spent a whole week with Zhang Lisheng, who was pretending to be and negotiating with him.

Finally, in the evening, when a refreshing cool breeze swept away the scorching heat that had accumulated all day, the young man finally brought the good news to the lieutenant general of the Federation, whose patience had been stretched to the limit.

"General Monglia, I have finally gotten the approval of the Wuli head.

He is willing to provide as much food assistance as possible to the poor federal citizens trapped in New York, and can even accept those refugees who are afraid of war to live temporarily in the safety of Wuli Island..."Breaking into the treehouse with a tired face, Zhang Lisheng's eyes swept over the smiling faces that seemed to be vacationing on the tropical seaside, and finally settled on an expressionless emaciated face, and spoke.

The happy sound of the noisy dinner in the whole room instantly fell silent, showing that the federal professional soldiers, who advocate leisure and relaxation outside of working hours, are actually quite disciplined.

In the silence, Monglia frowned, looked back at the young man and said, "Congratulations on the breakthrough in your negotiations with the Wuli people.

But they must have some strings attached, right?"

"Absolutely. The Wuli people are neither sages nor our saviors.

Oh, let Major Allison tell you the exact conditions, I know that I'm just a 'mascot', and now that I've done my best and achieved results, it's time to step back into the background. Zhang Lisheng smiled at the female major who was following him, and casually walked to a clearing covered with animal skins in the bark house and sat down.

Then he shouted loudly to the local servants who were guarding outside the house, and respectfully offered fragrant barbecued meat, fresh fruits and fine wine.

"Li Sheng, if you are a 'mascot', I am a 'microphone'.

After opening the situation. The terms of the formal agreement must be negotiated between the Federation's negotiators and the Wu Li people. "After a few days of being close. Allison seemed to regain the enthusiasm of the young man who had used to explore the 'Shrimp II World Realm' together, and when the native servants left, she sat down next to him and joked.

Then he solemnly reported to the lieutenant general of the Federation: "General Monglia, the Wuli people have asked to establish a strategic alliance with the Federation in an 'offensive and defensive alliance';

opening borders to each other and removing military threats;

trade liberalization...". More than a dozen conditions were said in a row.

"Are these conditions put forward by those natives? It's incredible. Major, not so long ago they were in a primitive society!" Monglia said in surprise after hearing this.

And at the same time as he said this, the slightly drunk eyes of the chief staff officer of the space carrier, who was already accustomed to sitting cross-legged, seemed to inadvertently glance at the young man on the side. Coincidentally, he saw Zhang Lisheng shrugging his shoulders with his wine glass and replied first: "In the case of 'suitable soil', it doesn't take too long for the social system to evolve by leaps and bounds, General.

After many indigenous tribes in the earth's tropical rainforest were discovered by the civilization world, didn't they directly progress from primitive society to civilized society, not to mention that 'Wu Li' still has the guidance of the gods. ”

"Dr. Li Sheng is right, General, these Wuli people are very receptive to new things, and they are not stupid in the slightest. Alison replied.

Monglia was silent for a while and whispered, "Of course I know that the Wuli people are not stupid, and this can be seen from the strong equipment of those dwarven warriors armed to the teeth...", and suddenly said no more.

After more than ten seconds, the atmosphere in the silent treehouse inexplicably became solemn, and the federal officers all looked at each other with stiff faces, no one made a sound, and the last one was Zhang Lisheng who raised his golden wine glass with a smile and said loudly: "No matter General Mongria, we have successfully completed our mission."

Leave the rest to the politicians in the White House.

To you and all the brave Union soldiers. ”

"Dr. Xie Luxie, I also respect you," the lieutenant general of the Federation smiled stiffly and raised his glass as well, "Thank you for all your contributions to Millican."

God bless the country. ”

"God bless the country. The federal officers in the bark house shouted in unison, raising their glasses and drinking the full glass of fruit wine, and then someone whispered the song "God Bless Millican", which was popular in the Federation, and soon caused a chorus, and the loud chorus gradually sounded.

Regarding the patriotic spirit of the soldiers of the United States, Zhang Lisheng felt inexplicable in his heart, but he had to listen on the surface.

After eating dinner in this way, he yawned as he pretended to be exhausted, and then asked the commander of the Helicarrier, "General, when are we leaving the 'Sea Shrimp II World' and returning to 'Noah'?"

"We'll leave early tomorrow morning, Doctor, the Mammoth has been delayed for too much time on Wuli Island. ”

"Then don't you have to get up very early tomorrow, I'm going to get some rest. Zhang Lisheng stood up with a smile and looked around, "See you again...", while politely saying goodbye, he walked out, and suddenly saw the beautiful black female major next to him also stood up drunkly, waved goodbye to his colleagues, and strode out of the tree house with him.

Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and even the deep jungle in the distance softened under the clear moonlight.

Listening to the sound of 'rustling...' waves, facing the gentle night breeze, Zhang Lisheng walked to the bark house where he lived by himself, and suddenly heard a vague female voice with a big tongue behind him, "Li Sheng, do you know the Tao, I have always admired you very much in my heart for a long time." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Allison, opened his mouth, shrugged his shoulders in astonishment, and replied, "I've never seen that, Allison, what do you mean by that?"

"Isn't it obvious what it means for a beautiful mature woman to show affection to the opposite sex she admires," Allison smiled charmingly and asked nonchalantly, "You seem to be very wary of federal officials, don't you?"

"Of course not, I just think your favor is too abrupt," Zhang Lisheng smiled unnaturally, "Okay, good night Alison, I have to get up early tomorrow." Awkwardly, he quickened his pace and soon walked into the treehouse in the distance.

Looking at his disappearing back, the smile on Alison's face slowly dissipated, revealing an extremely contradictory expression, muttering to himself, "It seems that the 'mind reader' is correct in his analysis of his mental model, only feelings are the only breakthrough...", and walked back to the bark house where he lived.

The night passed in a flash, and at dawn the next day, the senior federal officers who had completed the mission set off in full gear, escorted more than 20 tons of gold to board the 'Mammoth', and left Wuli Island with the federal envoys, and returned to 'Noah' twice safely and smoothly across the boundary of the world.

As early as the middle of the last century, after the status of the earth's superpower was determined, Millican was accustomed to semi-openly sending people with no official status but a certain amount of influence to act as special envoys to deal with some thorny diplomatic disputes or carry out diplomatic mediation.

With only a report to be handed in afterwards, the temporary envoys were relieved and no longer had the obligation to serve the federal government, so Zhang Lisheng was relieved soon after returning to 'New Washington A' and resettled in seclusion in the experimental oasis that had been renamed 'Hope Ranch'.

In the months that followed, after several lengthy rounds of negotiations with Wu Li, Millican finally established an alliance with the Atlanteans under great pressure, and in return, material support from the otherworldly realm quickly improved the living conditions of the citizens of the Federation within the New York metropolitan area of the Earth, and had a positive radiating effect on the entire East Coast of the Federation.

Under this kind of benign interaction, although the US government has all kinds of doubts and scruples, the recognition of the Wuli people has to be increased steadily, first set up embassies with each other, and began regular diplomatic consultations;

This was followed by a package of cooperation plans that were not full of military fields, and began to export worthless electronic products and audio-visual products to the natives of the other world, who lacked spiritual food, and imported from them huge quantities of precious and scarce metals, seeds of high-yielding crops, and strange carnivores;

Later, as the exchanges became closer and closer, they really imitated the model of the Federation and Canada in peacetime and opened their borders to each other at the civilian level, of course, the territory opened by the Federation did not include the Noahic realm, and Wu Li only opened the 76 northern islands, which are said to be relatively safe, with a total of about 2.7 million square kilometers of land.

After the implementation of various measures, the Wuli people of the otherworldly world magically became the most harmonious and friendly allies of Millican in half a year.

The short, ugly natives seem to have suddenly become the new darlings of the Atlanteans, who first landed on Earth and were in the honeymoon period with Millican, and the hideous image has been alienated into the fantasy characters of Dungeons & Dragons (Dungeons & Dragons' 'Gnomes', and even cartoons, movies, soap operas, and dolls based on them.

The long river of time continues to flow in an increasingly grotesque but 'realistic' reality, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

In December, although the climate change in the desert of the Noahic World is not obvious, many people still habitually change into autumn and winter clothes at night, excitedly waiting for the arrival of the most important festival of the year in the West, "Christmas". (To be continued......)
