Him and their stars

When Mr. President saw that the fleet had just completed a replenishment from Qingchun City, he simply waved his hand and said that everyone had worked hard with him for two weeks and that he would have a good rest tonight.

He, Nishita, wanted to cook a banquet for everyone in person, toast everyone personally, and cheer everyone up.

Yu Lian, who is far away on the lucky front line on the far bank, can attest that President Nishita's cooking skills are good, and at least his barbecue skills are of a level that would make him hungry even if he set up a stall in the square.

In addition, Mr. President did systematically learn cooking skills later. It is said that being able to cook is the best way in the world to establish a good father and husband, which can attract the votes of housewives.

Having said that, there are at least tens of thousands of people in the fleet. Even if Mr. Nishita awakens his spiritual power and breaks through the nine rings at once, it is impossible for him to be able to feed so many people. But as soon as these words were spoken, the staff and security personnel were moved to pieces.

Even Yang Mingzhao admitted that Mr. President is really generous to the people around him, and he can indeed be regarded as the best kind of boss.

Although he was always forced to help the president write official documents and speeches, and even had to serve as a bodyguard, he actually adapted to working under President Nishita.

"We cannot expect all leaders to be of Marshal Li's type. To put it sadly, His Excellency Keith Nishita is actually the most reliable head of state I have ever seen after Marshal Victoria Li. . In fact, a man like him is the most suitable leader for the community system.” The person who said these words was Marshal Aylwin, who was called the living fossil of the community and was also the oldest and most senior man in the mission. He currently serves as Military Advisor to the President.

This old man has deep qualifications and extensive connections. He is old friends with many alliance veterans. He is also longer-sleeved and more capable than the current Minister of Military Command, Marshal Paris, and is more suitable for diplomatic work. Naturally, he is the best choice to accompany him on the trip.

"So, how does it compare with Commander Tatos of the opposite alliance?" Yang Mingzhao asked with interest.

"Commander Tatos? Haha, I'm not too familiar with him, but Marshal Esco who is on the stage now is an old friend of mine. He is a decisive veteran, but if such a person becomes the leader of our community What a disaster!”

The old marshal looked like he was surrounded by clouds and mountains with a profound meaning. This pretentious appearance is actually a bit annoying. However, after all, the other party's qualifications are here, and he is already qualified to be the Riddler.

"People who like banquets are either soldiers or pirates. During the war, Mr. President hopes to behave like a soldier, and I appreciate it." Marshal Aylwin said.

The atmosphere of the banquet was of course also fun and carefree.

At least judging from Mr. President's expression, he definitely looked much more relaxed and happy than when he treated the "Anti-Imperial Alliance Leader" to guests in Sunny Sky City.

The old man kept his promise and actually cooked himself and cooked a large pot of beef brisket. Of course, the ordinary crew members couldn't share it, so they distributed it to the engine department and damage control department of the Celeste Princess. Even during the banquet, most of the staff in these two departments were still on duty, and they naturally deserved to be praised for their dedication to their jobs.

Immediately afterwards, President Nikita held his guitar and loudly sang a song that no one had heard of in the banquet hall, which attracted cheers from the audience.

As for the Azul Princess and the personnel on other escort ships, they also watched the performance live through the terminal live broadcast.

If we only count the people in the fleet, the audience rating of Mr. President's performance is definitely over 90%, and this is without anyone forcing it.

Let’s just say that, leaving aside the level of performance, Mr. President has indeed fulfilled his promise of “encouraging everyone’s entertainment”. What's more, everyone in the fleet said that Mr. President Nishita is good at singing and dancing, and his level cannot be achieved by just practicing for two and a half years.

"This is a new song. Mr. Qi wrote the lyrics and Mr. Klaus composed the music. It can be called "Singing the Turbulent Youth."" President Nichta laughed and cast a meaningful glance in Yang Mingzhao's direction.

I understand, in addition to being enthusiastic about singing and "having fun with the people," Mr. President also really wants to convey something, but he just refuses to say it directly.

There is no way, the Riddler does have the privilege of leadership! Yang Mingzhao had no choice but to lower his head and start thinking hard.

"I've heard of this song." Killian said, and then began to explain:

"It's the chairman, um, uncle Shi Dang Ten Jue..."

"When working, you must address your duties." Yang Mingzhao reminded him earnestly.

Aren't you having a dinner party now? Is it considered work? Although Killian thought so, he immediately changed his mind: "After Chief Yu fought ten battles in the Far Coast Nebula, Mr. Qi and Mr. Claus created such a song, saying that it was to commemorate the glorious triumph of the Far Coast Nebula. In the end, it became an ode to all young people. It had only been finalized for a week, and the title of the song was decided by Uncle Shi and was ready to be sung by the Icepop Band and Miss Selena Maho. I didn’t have time to record a demo.”

"...I see. But how did you know this?"

Killian explained: "Before departure, I took half a day off and went to the Red Star headquarters in Coral City to pick up spare blades. I met Mr. Tamir and heard about it from him."

Yang Mingzhao suddenly realized. He seemed to understand something and said with a smile: "Mr. President is also a well-informed person."

Killian glanced at his senior brother doubtfully. He could feel that the other party's emotions were a bit complicated. It seemed to be an expression of respect for President Nishita, but it also contained a little bit of imperceptible irony.

Yang Mingzhao then let out an admiring laugh: "The president has learned to sing a new song that was written less than a week ago, which shows that he is really talented. If he doesn't go into politics, he might be able to become an outstanding Singer's."

Killian said: "He also said that if he had not gone into politics, he would have become a top celestial athlete, and maybe he would have won the Galaxy Cup on behalf of the earth."

"This is the employment choice of the country's elite! It's admirable."

By the time the excitement of having three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes was over, it was already on the 13th, after 22:00 pm standard time.

Most of the crew and security team have returned to their posts. Even Mrs. Melalie Nicita, a psyker, has returned to the room to prepare for rest. This famously born president's wife is a very self-disciplined person. People have always believed in the theory that sleeping will turn white.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to maintain adequate sleep to slow down aging, maintain physical health, and maintain mental happiness. But just because you are a psychic, you can't do anything random. In other words, the more psychic you are, the more self-discipline you have to do.

There may be some truth to this theory.

Anyway, Mrs. Nishita's beauty philosophy is very recognized. She wrote her own beauty manual and sold tens of millions of copies, second only to her self-written parenting and husband-taming manuals, and comparable to her own folklore research works. Sold much better.

After Mrs. Melalie Niceta left, several other bigwigs in the mission, such as National Shipping Chairman Peter Pirod, Finance Minister Donovan and others, all looked like their bodies had been hollowed out. , all bid farewell to rest.

Instead, Marshal Erwin, the oldest special military adviser to the presidential palace and former military minister, did not go back to rest and began a routine security inspection.

Theoretically, the retired old marshal no longer has any management authority, but all military personnel in the fleet are willing to obey his orders, and his priority may be second only to the president.

As for President Keith Nicita, he still stayed in Princess Blue Star's luxurious salon, smoking cigars, drinking wine, and chatting with everyone on duty.

In fact, all middle-aged men actually enjoy this process of not thinking about anything and just bragging wildly, and President Nishita is no exception. What's more, the people present are all his bodyguards and secretaries. Everyone speaks well and is better at listening. The president likes this feeling very much.

Everyone talked from the current war to the independence war in the past, from Marshal Li's student days to the period of imperial rule, and then to the gossip of Emperor Yiwenna.

The elites of the alliance soon turned to the erotic story of the Queen's 88th Cathay.

So, Mr. President enthusiastically took out the star cards and invited everyone to chat and play.

Come on, this means that the leader is going to play all night, and as a direct subordinate, he can only risk his life to accompany him. However, everyone's resistance is not great. Mr. President is actually a very self-disciplined person. His daily routine is very regular. He rarely gets as excited as he does today.

We all know that the more regular a person's life and work arrangements are, the less trouble they will have with the staff around them.

It is acceptable for such people to be willful once in a while.

President Nishita has always liked the Star Card Game from the Alliance.

And the skills are very good. It is said that the skills were developed in college. According to his own words, if he hadn't been pulled away by Tianqiu Club, he would have gone to Xingpai Club at that time, and maybe he could have become a professional poker player.

Today, Nishita still maintains this hobby. Also according to his own statement, people who can play Star Cards well must have the talent of a strategist. If he had joined the army, he might be able to become a general now.

Yang Mingzhao didn't think that playing cards had anything to do with strategy. He himself was a master of Go, but he didn't think that he had any leadership talent.

He just felt that Mr. President’s career choice at that time really made him suffer from difficulty in choosing, but he also admitted that the latter’s poker skills were indeed very strong. In the past two years, whether it is one-on-one, 2-on-2 or more eight-player games, whether it is purely for fun or with a bit of gambling, the winning rate has remained above 70%.

However, something seemed to be wrong with the situation tonight. The overly excited Mr. President failed greatly and actually made several stupid mistakes. After a few rounds, facing the rookie combination of Killian Shazabi and Colonel Lars Bohm, deputy director of the Security Department, he actually lost an average number of games.

Mr. President, who does not believe in evil, said that his teammate must be too piggy, and also expressed that he wanted to go one-on-one with Killian. As for why it was Killian and not Colonel Pom, it was naturally because the former had a very smart face and looked very powerful.

President Nikita is a war hero, and his opponents will only pick the truly strong.

So, after five games, Nishita, who had been playing poker for thirty years, faced a beginner. He only narrowly won one game, tied one game, but lost three games in a row.

Yang Mingzhao, who was watching the battle from the side, was very anxious and kept winking at his junior brother, but the latter could only respond with a helpless expression.

After all, he is a novice, and it is too difficult for him to hand over any cards.

In the end, President Nishita, who has always been sunny, cheerful, tolerant and generous, turned pale. Even the multiplayer story between Emperor Ewenya and her faces No. 108 to 114, I really can’t talk anymore.

At this time, it didn't look like he had lost the cards, it looked like he had been impeached by the congressmen. In other words, it was worse than impeachment, more like being investigated by the prosecutor's office.

Fortunately, he finally did not forget his personality, and soon showed a free and easy smile again: "Ah haha, little Killian is actually a genius. Didn't you realize that you have a genius in this area before?"

Killian still didn't understand how he won, but he still accompanied Xiao Lai and answered: "Subordinate, I studied abroad in the empire."

"Of course I remember, you are actually a top student at San Suolo University. Oh, I see, Star Card originated from the Alliance, so the Empire does not play it."

"Indeed not, Mr. President." Killian smiled and nodded.

His smile was a little stiff, and it was a little sarcastic for no reason.

Of course, the empire also has its own chess and card games, but the real rules are actually more cumbersome than the star cards, which can express the elegance, dignity and limitations of the imperial nobles. Killian felt that if he had the time, he might as well read a few more cutting-edge papers.

"Xiaguan really only figured out the rules of the star card with his seniors during this trip. I'm not familiar with the rules of the 8-player game yet." Killian continued as if he didn't see the color of his senior brother.

President Nihita smiled instead of being angry, and patted Killian on the shoulder. A trace of gloom in his eyes flashed away, and the whole person became sunny again: "Hahaha, this is the pattern of the Galactic Empire. Our glorious community , how could our heroic people be conquered by such a being."

Mr. President has this kind of talent. He can always resolve all embarrassing situations and even get passionate.

"You, if you hadn't gone to study in the Empire, you might have become a professional athlete in Xingpai." President Nishita added.

"However, the alliance's medical schools do not provide scholarships to foreigners." Killian said helplessly.

"That's really a pity. During this visit, I must have a good talk with the education circles of the alliance." Mr. President waved his hand with the spirit of "The Lord of the Milky Way", stood up and said: "In short, I found a person in the Xingpai world. A true genius, what a harvest. That’s it for today, good night.”

After accepting the salutes from his subordinates, the President left the luxurious salon, followed by two loyal personal servants. He stumbled a bit as he left the main entrance.

Yang Mingzhao looked at Mr. President's back, full of sympathy for a moment. He looked at his younger brother, who had a naturally dark face, and felt that if he lost to this guy in Go, he might be hit even worse than Mr. President.

"So, don't we need to tell His Excellency the President about Nephi's affairs?" A middle-aged bureaucrat with an extraordinary bearing asked Yang Mingzhao. He looked to be at least ten years older than the latter, but his attitude was very respectful.

This gentleman's name is Hedden, a director of the National Coordination and Security Bureau, that is, a member of the "National Unification", and his external identity is an information officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Of course, what he was discussing with Yang Mingzhao could only be the big event that had just ended.

After all, the Kuomintang is also an intelligence agency. Even if it is a loser, it has indeed received information about the situation on the Nephi Gem Coast.

In fact, in addition to the riots on the Gem Coast, the Azul Princess now also knows about the death of Mrs. Ermeta Parlotin, and even hears about the "fire merger" between the Supernatural Administration and the Guerrilla Association.

If you don't know how to analyze and summarize intelligence, you must feel that a civil war has broken out in the streets of Nephi.

However, Yang Mingzhao felt that the fact that a fan like Guotong...such a not-too-sensitive intelligence structure had obtained the information from that side meant that everything was calm.

In the final analysis, everyone can doubt the intentions and motives of the Reasonable Alliance. Now there is only one person at the top of the community who feels that his side has been treated as an outcast by the profiteers of the alliance against the empire, and is in a state of heavy self-loathing.

However, their abilities cannot be doubted. After all, it is one of the two poles of the world, and of course there are ways to clean up the current mess.

Director Hedden nodded: "Security has indeed been restored on the Gem Coast, and our embassy staff have even begun to go shopping. However, Ambassador Wilbat believes that within the next week, the Gem Coast will The safety rating should be below B-level green.”
