Him and their stars

The person who presided over the reception was the Minister of the Privy Council of the Empire, the Commander of the Dawn Star Region Military Region and the Governor of the Special Administrative Region, His Royal Highness Brunhilt, King Suluka.In addition to the "Governor's Office officials" wearing the uniforms of high-ranking imperial officers under His Royal Highness King Su's command, there were also high-level garrison troops from the Blue Star Community that occupied the other half of the Fortress of Unity.

Also present were representatives of some of the coalition member states that took part in the New World expedition last year.The troops left by these countries in the Dawn Star Domain are as few as a few hundred people, and as many as no more than one division and three or five small warships.However, considering that the Dawn Star Domain should become the economic engine of the New World in the future, or even the meeting point of the interests of all civilizations in the galaxy in the future, it is still necessary to maintain a basic military presence, even if it is used to refresh the sense of presence. necessary.

Especially such a grand event, it is even more impossible to miss it casually.

Of course, these uniformed killers are excluded, as well as board members and executives of the Shipping Coordinating Chamber of Commerce and the Development Bank, as well as many business representatives from all over the galaxy.

No matter what the super-big figures who really decide the fate of the universe think, and they don't have to think about what the future of the universe will look like, at least at this time, most of the people in this banquet hall really believe that they are preparing Work on a great job that's creative, productive, and sees little money.

So, after Brunhilt's toast, everyone began to talk about various cooperation prospects in small groups.Just like that, the scene in the Unity Fortress turned into a bustling business reception.

Brunhilt does not reject this feeling.She felt that, compared to the palace banquet where politicians and conspirators gathered, although this kind of reception that only discussed money was a bit fruitless, it was still a bit smoky after all.

Of course, often at this time, someone will always come to pour cold water.As soon as this year flashed through Brunhilt's mind, she heard the lowered voice of Ostana Barr.

"Don't really indulge in it. Your Highness, if everyone's business starts, the general trend will go on another track, and it will be out of our control."

"What is the general trend you are talking about?" Brunhilt swayed the ice honey wine in his hand and smiled.

"...Your Highness, you know what I mean. I'm just an ordinary courtier, and I can't say something too clearly. But, you are the emperor who is aiming at the Void Crown, so it's no fun to pretend to be stupid ” said Miss Chief of Staff.

"So you are too obsessed with your responsibilities and personality. You see, in comparison, Gilly is much more normal than you. Although she doesn't talk much, sooner or later she will be able to become the banner minister of the Grand Marshal's Mansion Yes. But, when will you be the prime minister!"

"This subordinate has never thought of becoming a prime minister. Now I just occasionally act as the secretary-general of your government affairs, but this is not in line with my wishes..." Ostana pondered for a while: "I know you deliberately made me It was guided in that direction. However, my subordinates feel that both Wovna and Nirhana have more potential in this area than me."

Brunhilt looked at the other party with a bit of surprise: "Have you been in a meeting with a group of profiteers for the past two days and your brain is broken? I never knew that you would have the virtue of being modest and concealed."

"Well, Your Highness, what I want to say is, if you really wear the Void Crown, I should be able to become a very good prime minister. These should be very good, but I just don't like it. .”

Brunhilt shuddered: "Speak human!"

Ostana still maintained a sweet smile, and directly changed the subject: "Your Highness, as the highest military and political officer of the Empire in the Dawn Star Region, you have attended today's banquet, and on behalf of the Empire, you have expressed our commitment to the future of the Dawn Star Region. Attitude. However, Admiral Connors from the opposite community just sent a letter of blessing. But I am still hiding in the circle of miracles."

She pondered for a while, covered the eyes that looked like embers of a volcano under the red eyes with a smile, and glanced at the two earth generals who were talking among the crowd.

A lieutenant general in his 60s, but his personal temperament is more like a refined, gentle and good-tempered technocrat, or an executive engaged in financial work in a large company.

A young major general in his early thirties is less like a soldier than the former, more like a young scholar engaged in liberal arts education in a university, or the type who will never be promoted to an associate professor because he is not good at office politics.

Needless to say, this is of course Lieutenant General James Carter, deputy commander of the expeditionary fleet and minister of logistics, and Major General Yang Xiyi, commander of the Unity Fort Garrison.

"For the guests from the community, the highest-ranking officer is the Lieutenant General Carter, right?" Ostana Barr whispered, "If you use diplomatic rudeness as an excuse, your subordinates can arrange it now. My best Good at doing this kind of thing.”

"...Diplomatic rudeness, is this an acceptable reason? If it spreads out, it won't damage the diplomatic reputation of the empire? The Galactic Empire is all decent people, and they pay attention to the demeanor of a big country. How can they do such a stupid thing?"

"I have done it before!" Ostana said solemnly: "In the era of Queen Leida, the imperial army used the left foot first when the Sumi mission entered the gate, and destroyed the Sumi Kingdom at that time."

"..."

"Okay, this subordinate is just joking. In fact, it is suspected that the snow ginseng attacked by the Sumi Kingdom is less than 1000 years old. After inspection, it is found that it is only 95 years old."

"...That was also 2000 years ago."

"According to the banned book "Primary Theory" that you recommended to me, there is not much progress now compared to 2000 years ago."

Brunhilt decided to ignore her and poured himself another glass of wine.She looked through the wine glass and passed through the crowd, only to see the human general who looked like a young scholar, whispering to several senior officers of aliens.

A big Circe snapping turtle, a Minlan blue bald man, and a Minor bull head.

They are all participants of the Expeditionary Force. At present, they have 5000 to 1 troops left on the Unity Fortress, which is quite a bit of combat effectiveness.At least, within this space fortress, the power represented by these people is quite considerable.

More importantly, the mother countries they represent are all second-tier powers in the galaxy. Although they may not necessarily obey the leadership of the Blue Star Community, they also have more or less hatred with the empire.

"Major General Yang Xiyi's small actions in the United Fortress are quite a lot, which is a safety hazard. Do you want to find an excuse to do him?" Ostana smiled and said: "The reason is that he didn't bow to you during the reception. A toast or something..."

Brunhilt glanced at the other party, and was about to complain, but saw a burly Lieutenant General of the Imperial Army squeezed in, and joined the conversation of the senior officer very calmly.

Seeing that he should be a very talkative social cow member, he quickly integrated into the conversation, but he didn't know what kind of joke someone told, and the generals burst into laughter.The imperial lieutenant general even hooked up with the Circk general next to him and clinked affectionately.

Looking at it, it seems that the tragedy of the Circe Kingdom in the past two years is already 200 years old.

Seeing that the generals are so harmonious, the businessmen from all over the world immediately became more confident in the future of Dawn Star Domain.

"To the future of Dawn Starfield, to the future of Galactic Civilization! Raise your glass!" said the lieutenant general of the Imperial Army.His voice was very loud and clear, and he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

The guests raised their glasses one after another.

"Of course, I would also like to thank His Royal Highness Brunhilt for giving us this grand event! This is destined to be a grand event of victory, a glorious event, and a grand event that will go down in history! Respect His Royal Highness Brunhilt, the most beautiful woman in the universe Your Highness!" the lieutenant general shouted again.

"Respect to the most beautiful Highness in the universe!" Everyone responded one after another.

Brunhilt grinned, bowed his head generously to the crowd, and drank the wine in his glass.

There is one thing to say, just in terms of appearance, "the most beautiful" may be debatable, but if you can add "one of them", it must be very appropriate.All the guests present felt that there were too many sanctimonious business rhetoric tonight, but this sentence was the most sincere.

As a result, the joyful atmosphere at the scene became even more enthusiastic.The snapping turtles of the Circe Kingdom and the fang turtles of the Haiyal Principality even started dancing with their shoulders and backs hooked.It seems that the prosperous and peaceful future of the great unity of civilizations in the entire galaxy has arrived, and will spread to the entire universe with this as the center of a circle.

Looking at the scene, Brunhilt said quite complacently: "Indeed, I am the most beautiful Your Highness in the universe. Why can't some people see it?"

Ostana responded with a sneering sneer, looking at the imperial general who was at ease in the social scene where the drinks were mixed, she lowered her voice and said, "I remember that Lieutenant General Minontai, who was transferred to the commander of the fortress, was Cong Fengyun. The fortress was transferred from a well-known fort defense expert in the army?"

"At least the theoretical research on fortress defense is done well, he is an excellent academic general." Brunhilt shrugged: "Of course, more importantly, he has been the alliance's ambassador to the alliance for three years The chief military officer of the embassy knows how to deal with businessmen."

Ostana sighed silently: "The so-called academic generals mean that they lack actual combat proof."

"There is no actual combat proof, but it can prove the attitude of the empire." Brunhilt chuckled: "And, the old man from the Star Knights is still in this fortress."

It was the first time for Miss Chief of Staff to hear the news, and she was startled.But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. The top executives of the Astral Knights are all top-level transcendents, and their movements are beyond the grasp of her intelligence network.

However, if the Duke of Sudulan is really still sitting in the fortress, there should be no problem.perhaps……

King Su Liuka said again: "Anyway, I am the military and political officer of Li Xingyu. I can take care of military affairs, and of course I can also take care of political affairs, especially international business affairs. However, Connor who is opposite Admiral Reese is still the commander of the expeditionary fleet. Since he is a purely military officer, Lieutenant General Carter has been sitting in Xinyumen, which is equivalent to the governor of the new continent of the community. Isn't it reasonable for him to appear here?"

Brunhilt acted like I was very open-minded and open-minded.

"For the governance of the Dawn Star Domain, the community has not yet come up with a charter and administrative structure. In comparison, we are very eager."

"Ostana, you have to know that even now, members of the Privy Council still have expectations for the future of Dawn Star Domain. They also have expectations for the future of the Development Bank and the Shipping Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, why would I use What about investing as a private individual?"

Ostana blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Isn't it to deceive the enemy? Using money as bait is at least better than using the lives of soldiers."

Brunhilt said solemnly: "Of course it is for investment. It is precisely because I voted, that... King Wei voted, and many princes also voted, and the opposite alliance will follow up. The director of the Development Bank There are only two alliance members in the bureau, but as far as I know, the peripheral investment company controlled by the Hongqiangwei Foundation has collected most of the first batch of tradable shares put into the stock market."

Ostana pondered for a while: "So, are you really still deceiving the enemy?"

"Hurt people with their own blood? Even a white-haired fox can't do such a thing, and she will definitely not be fooled." Brunhilt said angrily.

Miss Chief of Staff understood something, and reported: "I have discussed with those gentlemen and decided that the headquarters of the Development Bank and the Shipping Chamber of Commerce cannot be placed on the side of the Unity Fortress. I propose to place it in the Eliza galaxy, Earth The other party also agreed. Of course, in return, we also approved the community’s settlements, consulate areas, and economic development zones for immigrants in the galaxy. Of course, there are no more than one regiment of security forces.”

"Look, isn't this what we are working hard for?" Brunhilt said with a smile: "Maybe everything in the Dawn Star Domain can become a governance template for future galactic civilization."

The Eliza Star is a galaxy located in the center of the Dawn Star Field, and there are three naturally habitable planets in the galaxy.One of them, like the "yaochi" controlled by the community, is also a Gaia planet with rich and fertile species and a pleasant climate that is almost unscientific.Its transportation is also very convenient, with a total of five leap passages.Starting from here, it only takes three weeks for ordinary merchant ships to reach the Unity Fortress, and only one week to reach the Ring of Miracles.

This is also the capital of the new empire that the looters planned to spend a lot of effort on.Around this galaxy, the main force of the expeditionary army and the predators fought four or five fleet decisive battles in a row.

Now, the main control of this galaxy is of course in the hands of the Empire, but the Community has finally occupied one of the planets.From any point of view, this place is very suitable to serve as the core of governance and business in a star area.

"Eli" naturally refers to the "Eli" of Emperor Eliser.As the name suggests, of course, it is to praise the contemporary Supreme of the Galactic Empire, which is also the tradition of the Holy Galactic Empire.

"The Shipping Coordinating Chamber of Commerce has proposed that, with them as the legal representative, develop the galaxy and build a space port with a ten-megaton berth in the Eliza galaxy. It is currently soliciting design drafts from the entire galaxy. If all goes well, by the end of the year After that, the design draft will come out. If there are no accidents, it will be completed before the next year." Ostana said again.

She then showed a wicked smile: "I personally think that the possibility of no accident is very small."

When Brunhilt didn't hear the second half of the sentence, he said with emotion: "Then follow this plan. Everyone thinks that expensive space giants are a waste of money, but everyone likes space giants. It seems that It is to light up the stars in the sky and feel the sense of accomplishment of the creator. Since it is an era of peace and prosperity, such architectural planning is indeed needed to commemorate this era.”

She handed the wine glass in her hand to her chief think tank: "Ostana, the great thing about the empire is that we can make two-handed preparations. We should be proud to be born in the empire!"

"Your Highness, do you still say that you are not hurting others with your own self?"

Brunhilt still pretended that he hadn't heard, and decided to get himself something to fill his stomach.

But at this time, Giafiel, who was wearing a military uniform, had passed through the crowd and came to the two of them silently.

"Your Highness, the boat is ready." The Countess' face was calm, and her voice was calm, as calm as a frozen lake.

At this moment, everyone knew what the other meant.

"Then get ready to go." Brunhilt put down his glass.

"Your Highness, do you want to continue?" Ostana smiled.

"Why not? You don't need it now, but you will definitely need it in the future."
