Him and their stars

General Oswood's eyes lit up, and a touch of emotion flashed across his face. It looked much more sincere than Yu Lian's appropriately "touched" expression before. Either he was really moved by the latter's understanding, or he was already very good at using this expression.

"Yes, yes, it is the spirit of a great nation! After all, we also achieved glorious victory in the New World expedition, and our contribution to the entire galaxy is no less than that of the empire." The chief military attaché stationed in the community said seriously: "Now, the entire galaxy can see this. It’s one o’clock. It is precisely because of the actions of war heroes like you that the diplomatic work of those of us is much easier than before.”

Colonel Silva and Rozez exchanged a look, wondering, are you planning to brag about each other until tomorrow?

Then, he saw Yu Liandao: "It is true, at least in dealing with the predators, our contribution is much greater than that of the alliance over there. In this aspect, we are more like a responsible big country than the alliance, so , it is even more necessary to have the image of a great nation! I see. Lord Oswood is indeed a mature and prudent senior, please don’t hesitate to give me your advice in the future!”

Major General Oswood always felt that something was wrong, but could not find any evidence for a while. On the other hand, the faces of Colonel Silva and some of the attaché officers whose names were not very important were once again visibly ugly.

It is a pity that General Oswood did not see this, and lowered his voice: "The negotiation team over there has another Lieutenant General Gujiao, who is an equipment expert and negotiation expert. He once served as Lionheart Factory The chief engineer of the company and the military representative of Polaris Heavy Industries. Now he is the deputy minister of the Alliance Defense Equipment Department."

Yu Lian was startled for a moment, then sighed: "He is an important person. That is the Major General Greco from Tianzhou Shipyard who I had a lot of chats with in the past two days."

"Of course he serves as deputy." Major General Oswood said: "In addition, I heard that there were no important personnel present in the Kajal Design Bureau from the beginning."

"I understand, this is forcing us to choose the Polaris Design Bureau's plan." Hahahaha, it's just a group of death merchants who eat the carrion of war. Wouldn't it be better to be a group of croaking crows? Don’t you know being a dog isn’t for you?

Yu Lian sneered three times in his heart, and expressed his sincere gratitude to Major General Oswood: "Thank you for arriving in time."

Major General Oswood was just about to say some kind words when he suddenly saw the high fighting spirit that seemed to be burning in the other person's eyes, and the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched uncontrollably.

He wanted to say something else, but he couldn't form any decent sentences for a while. Yu Lian was already striding towards the elevator with steps that he would not recognize his relatives. A group of officers from the negotiation team lined up behind him to follow him, as if they were blowing the charge horn and preparing to launch a general charge against the enemy. warriors.

As for Oswood himself? He felt that he was not the one blowing the trumpet, but the trumpet.

A group of officers from the community went up to the 89th floor of the "Sunflower Building" and arrived at the conference room at the end of the corridor on this floor. This conference room is quite large and well decorated. Facing the floor-to-ceiling windows outside, there is an elegant neighborhood and the endless blue ocean.

The bright sunshine in the afternoon shines on the spacious palm avenues and white sandy beaches along the coast, giving it a happy atmosphere of a midsummer holiday. In this environment, even the warships near the naval port that are full of historical vicissitudes, as if they have walked out of the corridor of time, are now more like ornaments in a theme park.

...Well, once it is used as a movie prop or location, it will not be majestic at all.

Yu Lian looked at the people across the long table, grinned at them with an elegant and easy-going smile, and quickly scanned their faces.

Almost all of them are "old friends", but there is one more Waying Alliance Navy Vice Admiral, who should be Lieutenant General Gu Jiao, the Deputy Minister of the Alliance Equipment Department. This race is strong, tall and slender, with horns like a pair of argali sheep. It looks like a fighting race full of martial virtue.

At least, this General Gujiao has the aura of a fighting race. He is more than two meters tall, and his slender but tight limbs are wrapped in a modified general uniform decorated with classical shoulder armor. At first glance, he is indeed a fierce general from the cold weapon era. Although he opened his big three-petal mouth and forced out a simple and honest smile, his eyes seemed to be bloodshot, like a bullfighting that had taken too many drugs.

"The Sa family heard that we have been talking for three days, but there are still some differences that have not been resolved. But as far as I know, these are not fundamental differences, so there is no way that they cannot be resolved." Lieutenant General Gujiao looked directly at Yu Lian said angrily: "General Yu, don't you have a good opinion of the design of Polaris Design Bureau? Then why bother with these details? Sajia also worked at Polaris for a period of time. Do you have any technical questions? Just ask me directly. If there are any constructive improvements, Sajia and everyone here will convey them to the designer."

"Your Excellency is joking. The Cloud Giant Engine and Type 12 Energy Shield you gave us are new products and have no actual combat parameters. How can we come up with any constructive improvement requirements? Thank you very much for your attention to us, but We really can't do it." Colonel Silva showed a gentle smile.

Major General Oswood looked at Silva with some surprise. He remembered, however, that this lunar-born armament expert had always been a decent and serious person, and he behaved like a social elite. There was no way he could be so eccentric.

"Because it is a new product that has not undergone any actual combat, the community soldiers who have made great contributions to the welfare of galactic civilization in the New World will conduct new weapons tests for your country. In this case, we are collaborators, the Alliance You, our partners, rather than small countries looking to purchase arms. We think your price is not suitable."

Major General Greco of the Alliance said: "We have expressed our full sincerity to you. If we want to make changes in the direction you proposed, it will be a blow to the morale of our designers! It will be a blow to the development of Cloud Giant. The scientists on the engine and Type 12 shield were a little offended.”

Just like that, before Yu Lian could speak, the attachés from both sides had already started arguing.

Surrounded by the exchange of words between the two sides, General Gu Jiao looked at Yu Lian, whose face was expressionless and showed no emotion, and bared his teeth. Although young and light, his concentration is very strong! Oh, of course it is difficult to deal with famous geniuses, but this is what I expected. While he was thinking about this, he simply picked up his huge thermos cup that could be used as a thermos bottle, took a few gulps of sweet wine, and then sat back on the chair.

However, a genius who becomes famous at a young age will naturally have the arrogance of a genius and will certainly not be too down-to-earth. Wait for me to slow down and find your flaws.

General Gujiao thought this as he picked up the thermos cup again, wanting to take a few more sips. Unlike others, the more he drinks, the clearer his mind will be, the more organized his speech will be, and the more powerful his movements will be, and he will have many advantages during negotiations. However, before he could drink the wine, he suddenly heard Yu Lian across from him slam the table and let out a domineering shout:

"fart!"

Lieutenant General Gu Jiao poured a mouthful of sweet wine directly into his nose, and then spilled it out like a fountain, directly pouring it on Major General Greco next to him.

"Do you really want to sell a product that has not been tested in actual combat as a tribute? As for offending, insulting, damaging morale, etc., it's our fault! That's your job!" Yu Lian waved his hand vigorously and pointed. Major General Greco said with a loud nose: "I have some fondness for the Cloud Giant Engine and Shield No. 12, but it is also because these things are high-quality and cheap! What's the matter? If you want us to be guinea pigs and don't give us food, there are all kinds of people in the world. Such a thing?"

Yu Lian pretended that he had not seen the Waying general who was working as a fountain at all, and started to use all his strength towards the others.

"You, you, you are not a guinea pig!"

"Well, even if we are not guinea pigs, we will become watchdogs to help your country guard Nantianmen and the New World! Do the watchdogs have to spend their own money to buy bones?"

"Ah, well, we, you...you are not a watchdog either."

"We are! We are very aware of this!" Yu Lian said loudly: "Okay, let's change the direction again. Isn't it the same as getting married? The bride here looks like she has a good skin. , but I don’t know the origin, and I don’t even have a physical examination certificate. Is it so embarrassing to just pay a large sum of money as a gift? Everyone here, you are all men, don’t you feel that your fists are hairy at all? Is it hard?"

Probably because Yu Lian spoke so passionately, and probably because the people present were all social animals who had been exploited by the helpless old mother-in-law, everyone's fists really started to become hardened.

Major General Oswood was stunned, but then he felt only fear and even panic. Although he is not a psyker, as a diplomat, he also knows that psykers can release mind control and hypnotic effects through the spirit of speech. If a genius psychic like Yu Lian, a close disciple of Master Lan, wants to control one or two ordinary people, then it is as simple as drinking water and eating, right?

But the problem is that in the diplomatic negotiation field, playing with mental techniques such as mind control is taboo! The nature is basically the same as using a troll to make a fool of the diplomat on the opposite side. The difference from directly declaring war does not seem to be too big.

The more critical issue is that I am not a fool, so there is no reason not to be careful about this move! For example, General Oswood himself wore a spiritual amulet issued by the government. Although this kind of thing is a "mass-produced" alchemy product, it is still quite effective against most malicious mental intrusions. It is not said to be invulnerable, but even if it encounters top masters, it can at least protect itself in most cases. Early warning.

However, his amulet showed no reaction at all.

Oswood secretly glanced at a brigadier sitting next to the opponent's back row. He knew that he was a second-level inspector of the Extraordinary Management Bureau, specializing in mental attack and defense and will barrier. The reason why he appeared here was of course to prevent his side from making any off-board moves.

...Of course, if our side is not prepared at all in this regard, the inspector would not mind playing some tricks on his own.

However, I saw this Montmarie inspector, who looked like a big fat fish, wiped his eyes where there were no tears at all, sniffed his flat nose, and muttered: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I When I got married, I was forced to hand over 10,000 golden sheep fish as a bride price. It was obviously said that they would be sent back to my family's farm, but they were all given to my brother-in-law. Wuwuwuwu..."

"You are so arrogant! How can this be considered a betrothal gift?" General Greco said bravely. Although he was sprayed all over by Lieutenant General Gu Jiao's sweet wine, he still did not forget his responsibilities and reluctantly adhered to his current attitude: "This, even if there is no physical examination certificate, at least it can be confirmed to be first-hand. Don't you Do you know that nowadays, when rich people customize a yacht, they have to do it themselves the first time they step off the accelerator?"

Yu Lian suddenly showed a dirty look on his face and clicked his tongue a few times: "I didn't expect that your official would have such a corrupt tendency. That's all, your official's private tendencies have nothing to do with me."

"I'm just making an analogy! No, you can't change the concept. Also, you are attacking me personally! Personal attack! You have to apologize to me, you have to restore my reputation!"

Yu Lian said expressionlessly: "Okay, I'm sorry that I went too far in joking. However, leaving aside the facts and your bad behavior of cheating on the bride price, please remember that the community and you are Equal alliance. We have paid you sufficient funds for shipbuilding, and the slipway is now built anyway. At worst, I will take the hull of the ship to our country to save the remaining accessories. "

"You can't do this! You obviously want to take the ship to find the imperial outfit, right? This is a violation of the military cooperation and friendship regulations between the two countries."

"Hmph, who said I would go to the Empire? You have to provide evidence! Besides, we have been defrauded of the betrothal gift, why don't you want us to find a new home? General, your alliance is so overbearing. With this punch, the avenue will be annihilated! Will the spirit of the universe all perish?"

"We didn't cheat on the bride price! We all sincerely hope that this marriage can be a happy and win-win situation for both parties. Bah...can you please stop mentioning this bride gift joke? General Yu Lian, can we all be a little more mature? Let's go. Let’s go back to where we started. Can’t we find a balance that is acceptable to both parties?”

"Balance point? I've already given you a balance point. Didn't I just use the design of Polaris?"

This guy is hopeless. General Gu Jiao wiped the sweet wine on his face with a handkerchief, looked at his colleagues who had been completely absorbed into the opponent's rhythm, sighed silently, and said straight to the point:

"We can follow your plan and replace the Vulcan MK3's positron cannon with the MK5 type that we have just installed, and modify the fighter catapult into a guided gravity slingshot."

Yu Lian finally showed a little smile: "You are a cheerful person."

"However, in terms of the specific amount..."

"I said, this is the bottom line!" Yu Lian said again.

General Gujiao sighed: "Okay, let's do it as you want. The Sa family actually really wants to make a friend with you. So, in order to express our sincerity in this transaction, we hope that your country's land war The army can purchase a complete set of general-purpose combined division equipment to arm an experimental Marine division."

This time Yu Lian was stunned. He almost couldn't help but want to clean his ears. He was silent for a few seconds and then said: "Wait, can you say it again? A general-purpose synthesizer's equipment?"

General Gu Jiao seemed a little embarrassed, but the wavering in his eyes flashed away, and he still said solemnly: "Yes! He is a general-purpose synthesizer!"
