The special negotiator of the Blue Star Community, Charles Marvin, took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He almost didn't dare to look directly at the bright and gorgeous smile on the long table opposite, just like he didn't dare to look directly at the sun.
Similar.
The representative coughed and read the document in front of him in a not too strong voice.
"In short, this is our request. The Kingdom of Cathay must compensate us for all war losses, including war compensation of 50 billion stars, and pay it back in 10 years. In addition, due to your consistent rude attitude towards us
, for the sake of national defense and security, the Kingdom of Cathay is required to dismantle its fleet. We also believe that the Kingdom of Cathay has become the source of galactic disputes and wars. We urge all galactic countries to impose economic sanctions on it for up to twenty years. At the same time, no
Any military supplies should be sold to Kaitai businessmen and any companies with a background in the Kaitai Kingdom!"
He raised his head, no longer looking at Brunhild's sun-like smile, but looked at the person opposite, and said: "Our request is actually very reasonable, and this is also our bottom line. I hope
Everyone can understand.”
"Well, it is indeed very reasonable..." King Suliuka knocked on the table and said with a smile: "But this is only under normal conditions!"
Among the negotiators on the community side, a lady who was about forty years old and very charming and elegant suddenly raised her hand and said: "I'm sorry, can you interrupt me? I've been meaning to ask you just now, Your Highness Suliuka.
, in what capacity are you attending this meeting? Arbiter? Observer? Shouldn't this be a negotiation between our country and the Kingdom of Cathay?"
"We have entrusted all matters of this negotiation to King Suliuka." said the negotiator of the Kaitai people.
"There is no such precedent in the world." The lady said solemnly.
"That's because you are short-sighted. We in the Cathay Kingdom are loyal followers of the Galactic Empire. Handing over difficult matters to the Lord is a sign of our full trust in the Lord and the protection that the Lord should give us."
"Really? The Cathay Kingdom is actually already a vassal state of the empire!" The lady suddenly realized: "Then why don't you withdraw from the Galactic Civilization Council quickly?"
"You egalitarians... Well, of course it is difficult for you republicans to understand our pride. We, Kaitai, have our own national conditions here! Although it is a sovereign country in theory, our hearts have long been with the great father.
, the sacred rulers are together. Therefore, in order to let His Highness King Su take our place, we have given the picturesque Neptune Sea to His Highness! This is a sacred contract transaction, you don’t understand! But it can definitely be in line with the Galaxy
The sacred tradition of civilization!”
The lady wanted to argue and add a few words, but she heard Representative Marvin whisper: "Lina, don't get into trouble."
How can this be considered an extraneous issue? The longer we talk to each other here, the more the countries in the galaxy will pay attention to this side. They are the ones who should be guilty, right? The lady looked at Charles Marvin, who looked guilty, and sighed.
"Then, shall I speak? Is that okay? Councilor Lena Schiller Wilbart?" Brünnhilt smiled.
Senator Lina felt nervous, and felt that this negotiation was in danger. You must know that the other party is a high-ranking election emperor, but even a "little" senator like herself knows him, so he is obviously well prepared.
"Let's talk about the conditions just now. As I said just now, since you claim to be the victim, you are indeed qualified to make such a request. However, you should also know that in the past few years, the Kingdom of Cathay has
The economic situation is not optimistic. The living conditions of more than 20% of the people are below the extreme poverty standards set by the Galactic Civilization Council. If another 50 billion is used as war reparations, it will inevitably cause the complete collapse of people's lives!
Therefore, even if it is just to avoid causing a humanitarian disaster, such a request is unreasonable."
"But isn't it the crazy military-first politics of the Cathay Kingdom that caused all this? They just need to dismantle the fleet, let most of the soldiers return to society, and let society get back on track with people's livelihood. Isn't that enough?
?" Lena Wilbart raised her voice.
"Really? But, who will ensure their safety? What about the safety of the galaxy?" Brunhilt said in a matter-of-fact tone.
When the representative of the community was about to speak, King Suliuka said first: "In the Kingdom of Cathay, there are more than twenty galaxies bordering the Galactic Center Star Field. Do you know that?"
Seeing that the representative of the community was a little stunned, she added: "The Kingdom of Cathay is a loyal and reliable ally of the empire. Every year, it sends a large number of troops to accompany the empire on expeditions against the predator tribes. You also know this, right? If it really starts
Dismantle the fleet and wait for those ferocious and greedy cosmic barbarians to rush into the country to burn, kill and loot. Mr. Representative, do you want a civilized race that belongs to the Civilized Parliament to become a miserable slave, or do you want to be on the border with your own?
force and turn into predatory barbarians?”
I would rather the ones bordering us are predators! After all, it was easier back then, just hit them! Lina thought.
Representative Marvin felt that he was about to be convinced, but he still said loudly: "But, but, this has nothing to do with what we are discussing today! In fact, the Kingdom of Cathay is the invading party!"
"The Empire and its allies maintain the stability of the galaxy! Almost every year, we have to fight against the predators that emerge from the center of the galaxy. Sir, I don't expect you to feel the same way, but I at least hope you can
A little bit of compassion, a little compassion for the Kaitai people who are trying their best to maintain the peace of the galaxy. Yes, Lieutenant General Blackfin of the Kaitai Kingdom may be guilty, but the Kaitai people are innocent."
After a while of talking, Mr. Marvin was speechless and felt inexplicably guilty. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded with difficulty: "Okay, we can discuss the specific compensation terms..."
Ms. Lina Wilbart wanted to slam the table, but was suppressed by Marvin, but she heard the other party whisper: "...the instructions from the earth are for us to stop as soon as we are ready. Anyway, the battle is over, and
, and a lot of them were seized, which is enough."
Ms. Wilbart sat back in her chair expressionlessly and decided not to say a word in the subsequent negotiations.
However, just as she had made up her mind, she heard the representative of the Cathay people opposite slam the table angrily: "Compensation? Did you make a mistake? Isn't this meeting discussing your responsibilities? No matter what
What can I say, weren't you the one who took the lead? We are the victims, and you still want us to pay compensation? I have never seen such a shameless person!"
The Earth side was probably dumbfounded by the opponent's backlash, and it took nearly half a minute before he counterattacked:
"But wasn't it you who made all the plans for the raid? Your Vice Admiral Blackfin has already admitted it! Isn't he the Chief of Operations of your Naval Command?"
"He is a madman! We have always thought that there is something wrong with his brain, and we are preparing to send him for treatment. But who would have thought that he would cause such a big trouble. I believe that even if he really gave the order for a sneak attack, the soldiers would
They will definitely not follow. Our soldiers are all very responsible people!" The Kaitai representative waved his hand: "However, you just used a little groundless guesswork to launch a surprise attack.
This completely ignores the Galactic Peace Pact and is a despicable and shameless act of war!"
Marvin was so angry that he trembled and even looked at Brunhilt for help, but found that the young King Suryut actually looked like he was in a state of wandering mind.
"Admiral Paris, the commander of your Outer Rim Fleet, is a war criminal! The staff officers who formulated the tactical plan are war criminals! Oh, and the stormtroopers who came to wreak havoc on our Royal flagship are also war criminals! Especially one...
What is it called? Anyway, one of your psychics used despicable means to kill our heroine White Wrist on the pretext of a duel of honor. He is even more of a shameless villain! We strongly demand that he be handed over.
Let us deal with it! We want..."
"Mr. Representative." Unexpectedly, it was Brunhildt who interrupted Representative Katai.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
"That's almost it." Queen Suliuka frowned and whispered.
Representative Kaitai shivered, bowed his waist and said: "Your will is my mission." Then he continued to shout loudly:
"In short, the community is the first to start the war! We need you to make a certain statement! Otherwise, we will continue to fight!"
"This is all to prevent your sneak attacks..." Representative Marvin countered, wiping his cold sweat.
"But it's your side who attacked first and opened fire!"
"Huh!" Representative Wilbart suddenly stood up, put away the documents and prepared to leave.
"Oh, on behalf of Madam, you are..."
"Pack up the place for you to continue fighting! Mr. Marvin, let's go too."
Representative Marvin was a little embarrassed. He looked at his tough deputy and then at his equally tough opponent, feeling that it was too difficult for him. When he thought of this, he gritted his teeth with hatred for everyone who had provoked this matter.
He hates the Cathays across the way, and he hates Admiral Paris and other officers from the Outer Rim Fleet here even more.
It's definitely not because of personal grudges, really!
He was so angry, but he still wanted to laugh. He tried to maintain his grace and said with a smile: "I need to ask for advice on the attitude of the earth."
"Okay, please do it as soon as possible." Brunhildt smiled still knowingly.
However, when King Suliuka turned to face the Kaitai representative, his smile suddenly disappeared. A pair of golden eyes were suppressed with explicit disgust, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Sir, you are really
What an unreasonable person! Is the word war criminal used casually? In a sacred duel of honor, the winner deserves to be praised and respected, but is it something you can evaluate? I don’t want you to appear in front of me for a second.
Do not want any!"
Several powerful imperial soldiers rushed in and dragged the Cathay representative out. Naturally, the representative was completely confused. When he was about to be dragged out, he shouted: "I shed blood for you."
..." Then he was stuffed with a ball in his mouth and dragged out.
He still didn't understand how he could offend the high-ranking election emperor, so he was naturally confused. However, the representatives of the community in the same room were also confused.
King Suliuka regained his smile: "You have also seen, Mr. Marvin, that this war is really a tragedy caused by misunderstanding. However, even if it is just to reassure the people of the two bordering countries and make people who are eager to establish a
The soldiers who have done their best should calm down. Some measures may be necessary. You see, I have shown my sincerity. Over in the Cathay Kingdom, Lieutenant General Black Fin also expressed his sincerity to his motherland with his own life.
And I sincerely hope that the earth can also show your sincerity."
Lina Wilbart felt that standing under the light of such a smile, it was almost impossible to maintain her courage. She could only grit her teeth and say with an overly harsh and even ungraceful attitude: "The so-called sincerity."
, what exactly does it mean?”
"The tragedy has happened. Someone has to stand up and take responsibility for the hundreds of thousands of victims, right?" King Suliuka said with a smile.
Mr. Marvin stood there for a long time. After a while, he nodded slowly and said in a difficult tone: "I, I will ask my superiors for instructions as soon as possible. We apply to suspend the negotiation! How about starting again tomorrow?"
