The Witch's Taste

Since the establishment of the starship human race, there have been two factions, "get off the ship" and "stay on the ship", and they have been constantly fighting and fighting within the starship society.

The core of the theory of the disembarkation faction is that it is extremely unsafe to stay on a ship for a long time, because once the ship sinks, everyone will die, so they must find a planet to immigrate to as soon as possible.

The stay-on-ship faction has no theoretical core; their job is to refute the various propositions of the disembarkation faction.For example, if you say that living on a ship is not safe, then I will reply and say that living on a planet is safe?The human beings on this ship include Takamama, Aegiraos, and Garcia. Why don't you have enough points to board the ship?

To be honest, you can also use the ultimate move: you want to get off the ship and roll yourself, but the airlock is not locked!

If there are no external changes, this balance of power may be maintained for a while. However, with the news that the Federation declared "Starship humans are an evil organization" and the newly immigrated Garcia people were brought to the starship, the corresponding unrest also began. come behind.

Many people applied to the Civil Affairs Bureau to leave the ship and land in Garcia - of course, the Civil Affairs Bureau did not have this business, but the troublemakers would not listen.

Yuuki Izumo was forced to come forward and took these people to visit the mechanical airdrop warehouse. He told everyone that the Garcia Star Port currently refuses us to dock. If you have to disembark, we can only put you in a can like this and stuff it into the barrel. Here, launch in the direction of Planet Garcia.

This exaggerated statement scared everyone away, but it also meant that their original anxiety and pressure could not be released, so they turned to other meaningless and hysterical vents.

For example, there were quarrels or even fights with the ship-staying faction, resulting in corresponding deaths and injuries... The report Chen Ziang received provided a rough summary of such accidents.

It is obvious that the proportion of Run people is gradually increasing. These people are afraid of the coming war and have absolutely no confidence to fight it.

This is also due to the special environment of the starship.If this happened on a planet, even if the Federation really went to war with the authorities, everyone could rush to the countryside in advance (unless the fight turned into a stalemate and they were raped).

But where can you go if you live on a starship?Once the military is defeated, there is a high probability that the Forever will be destroyed as well. No one thinks that the Federation will be kind enough to take the refugees on this sunken giant ship to other galaxies after destroying the human upper echelons of the starship.

From this point of view, the entire starship human population is actually very clear about the callousness of the Federation.

Those who insist on getting off the ship are not optimistic about immigrating to the Federation, but are pessimistic about the future of humanity on starships - even being a second-class citizen in the Federation is better than dying on a starship.

After roughly sorting out his thoughts, Chen Ziang ordered:

"Let's put some effort into publicity. Let our official media interview the military and do an exclusive interview to enhance people's self-confidence. In addition, we also find a few more radical disembarkation factions to do the same interview."

After spending so much time in this position, Chen Ziang was also exposed to many rulers' skills.One of the most basic rules is: Don’t use administrative means to do things that can be done through publicity.

Administrative means are the simplest, crudest and most rubbish means of treatment, and the abuse of administrative means will inevitably lead to dependence on inertia - as long as I give an order, all the untouchables must obey, so why should I think about how to govern? ?If things go on like this, the entire administrative system will quickly deteriorate and become an administrative machine that does not make decisions and bans when things happen.

What's more, although the starship humans may not be as good as others, they still have an advantage in publicity.After all, society as a whole is a fairly closed environment without the interference and invasion of external ideological trends. History has proven that it is very simple for this kind of society to keep the collective consciousness pure.

As for the propaganda content, Chen Ziang also proposed a direction of thought: military parade.

Nothing can quickly condense national pride than a military parade. Most people don't know much about military technology. Many people even still uphold the values ​​​​of "big is good, more is beautiful." Therefore, as long as the fleet is formed Fleets of various colors sailing past with great vigor and arrogance on the TV screen, coupled with appropriate explanations, can make the people firmly believe that "we have the power to protect ourselves."

The true meaning of national defense is to make the people believe that they are safe. This sentence is sometimes not ironic, because once the people lack confidence in this aspect, endless problems will follow.

Of course, since it involves a military parade, the entire military must be mobilized.

Chen Ziang decided to go to Xia Qingyu to vent his anger.

--------

Strictly speaking, the core of power among today's top human beings in starships should be in the hands of four people.

If compared to other forces, the four supreme rulers often mean ever-changing alliances and endless internal fights and games.

But these things have nothing to do with the starship humans, because the only male among them, Chen Ziang, belongs to the uncrowned king.Although he does not have a direct faction or team on the surface, as long as he speaks - other women will give him face.

Even Xia Qingyu, who seemed to be the least likely to deal with him on the surface, had never really opposed him.

"What do you think of the military parade plan?" Chen Ziang asked patiently.

"Not very good." Xia Qingyu's answer was no exception, or Chen Ziang didn't expect to hear a good answer from her, "Do you have that time to prepare for the military parade?"

"There are plenty of ways to do things when you have plenty of time, and there are ways to do things intensely when you are short of time." Chen Ziang said tactfully.

"Hurry preparation will inevitably be full of flaws, and it will become a negative example after being criticized." Xia Qingyu said leisurely, "Actually, there is an easier way, why don't you use your brain?"

"Is it possible that the plan I showed you is the brainchild of everyone except you?" Chen Ziang asked tactfully.

Xia Qingyu was silent for a moment and sighed.

Chen Ziang was very familiar with her expression. It seemed that the first meaning was "I knew you couldn't do it", but the second meaning was "let me help you."

A duplicitous woman, haha.

"There are two best ways to force the crowd to continue moving forward." Xia Qingyu said slowly, "One is the temptation ahead, and the other is the danger behind."

Chen Ziang pondered.

The temptation ahead is easy to understand. It is probably similar to Cao Cao's classic trick of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst. As long as he declares "We have located a virgin planet in the edge star region suitable for colonization", or "The empire has promised to accept us as citizens", The internal morale of the starship humans will immediately reach its peak, and even the most radical disembarkation faction will settle down.

As for the danger behind it...the Plague Walkers of Galapasia?

If the Plague Walker comes to the world and brings destruction and catastrophe to the Garcia sector, then as long as the corresponding propaganda materials are photographed and shown to the people, the people themselves will come up with things like "Plutocratic War" and then criticize Garcia. If they stay away, the disembarkation faction will naturally stop for a while.

"But when will the Plague Walker come to the world?" Chen Ziang also didn't expect that one day he would actually hope that the abyss god would come as soon as possible. "After all, we can only stay here for five days..."

"There are only five days." Xia Qingyu asked meaningfully, "So?"

"Uh." Chen Ziang finally reacted, "You said earlier that we have five days left. This time is not based on the federation's response and preparation process, but is calculated based on how long Galapasia can survive the evil god's attack. ?”

"Otherwise?" Xia Qingyu raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you think it is?"

"Of course I thought it was the Federation." Chen Ziang frowned and said, "We weren't discussing the Federation at that time... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

I originally wanted to praise her for being so well connected, but now I would be asking for ridicule if I said any more.

Chen Ziang continued to look around. This was the side room of the bridge command room. It was originally designed as a lounge exclusively for the captain, but as Suzuna Tsukimiya moved the location of activities to his study and bedroom, it became Xia Qingyu's. Dedicated room - I accidentally heard Yuki Izumo say that His Highness has not gone back to the bedroom to sleep in the past few days, and has spent the whole night here.

Her work attitude of forgetting sleep and food made Chen Ziang a little worried, not only because he was concerned about Xia Qingyu's body, but also because he didn't know why she was working so hard and whether there was something more terrifying waiting for the starship humans behind.

Although he probably couldn't trick her, Chen Ziang still decided to give it a try. Anyway, there would be no loss if he failed.

"Qingyu, you look a little off lately." He asked casually, pretending to be nonchalant.

"A clumsy test." Xia Qingyu was not deceived and exposed his disguise mercilessly.

"What kind of temptation can't it be that I care about you?" Chen Zi'ang chuckled.

What matters is generosity. I won’t care about anything you say.

Xia Qingyu fell silent and said after a while:

"You don't have to mind your own business."

"I'm afraid it's nothing serious." Chen Zi'ang said in a deep voice, "If it has anything to do with me, I will take care of it."

"You don't even know what's going on, how can you take care of it?" Xia Qingyu sneered.

"you can tell me."

"You think I'll tell you?"

"Yeah, since you didn't say no right away, I figured it was something you could let me know."

"Very good." Xia Qingyu seemed to be angry, "Then I clearly reject you here: mind your own business."

"Interesting." Seeing her being so angry, Chen Zi'ang felt reassured, "So you still don't deny that this matter is related to me, right?"

"Xia Qingyu, we have been together for so long, and I have a general understanding of your character. If you really make up your mind, you will not be swayed by my few words. You will only put on an expression of indifference and rejection. No matter how much I try to persuade you, there will be no change."

"The reason why you lose your temper here is not because you hate me for stalking me, but to cover up your inner hesitation... You are actually angry with yourself."

Xia Qingyu's anger was frozen on her beautiful face, and all the sarcastic and humiliating words she was about to blurt out were suddenly cut off in her throat.

Like a snake held down seven inches, a cat strangled by the neck, or a robot whose program has crashed, it has lost all its ability to react.

Only in those dark eyes, some unexplainable complex emotions suddenly emerged.

I know this chapter is very short, but... Kavin originally wanted to take a day off today, but at eleven o'clock he suddenly regained some of his creative state, so he just wrote this little bit.Recently, a book friend contacted me and said that he purchased a hat abroad. It is said to have magical properties and can cure CAV when worn on the head, so he sent it to me.I'll put it on then and see if it has any effect.

381.Chapter 376 Military Parade

Although Xia Qingyu believed that the military parade was unnecessary and unnecessary, she did not continue to block it when Chen Ziang insisted.

The interstellar military parade is much simpler than the planetary surface military parade. There are no various requirements of the army (such as whether the road surface at the parade site can bear the weight of tanks). You only need to pull the fleet out and drive around - considering the military It wasn't long after we got the ship, and we have been practicing frequently recently, so participating in the military parade was just a matter of course.

In terms of publicity, it is still the same as usual, first releasing the so-called gossip.

Many gossips that are suspected of being leaked internally are actually leaks made deliberately. If the reaction of the people within the scope of the leak is different from what was originally expected, then corresponding adjustments must be made in a timely manner, and there will be no hesitation in delaying when necessary.

Rumors about the upcoming military parade of Starship humanity soon started to arouse in the circles of military fans.Most citizens still don't like to pay attention to military news, let alone those rumors and unfounded intelligence.

Speaking of which, what is the composition of the starship human fleet?

Some secretly taken photos that somehow leaked out have greatly aroused the interest of military fans. Everyone is holding a magnifying glass to examine every detail in the photos.

In terms of tonnage, it should be a cruiser, which is a mid-level force in the fleet.The style is obviously close to that of the Empire, mainly black, with sharp edges and corners.

But in many details, it is completely contrary to the imperial ship.

First of all, the shipboard weapons are all of the federal standard, or more precisely the Klublief standard.This chaebol, which almost monopolizes the industrial manufacturing of the entire Federation, has a arms product with the streamlined style that the elven nobles are eager for (the elves call it "elegance"), as well as extremely fine and ingenious internal structures.

Many times these structures are not intended to utilize space more efficiently, but to be more in line with the aesthetics of the elves.They can even add an extra current stabilizer inside in order to arrange the energy links into spiral lines.

Secondly, there is the armor of the ship itself.

A combat ship is usually divided into two layers, with the functional structure on the inside and the thick armor layer on the outside.The purpose of these armors is to protect internal functional structures, usually to resist attacks from kinetic energy cannons or missiles.

The armor layer and the functional structure are not naturally connected, but are loaded and removable at any time. This makes it easier for engineers to repair damaged armor after the war, or to directly replace it with new ones.

However, the armor layers and functional structures of these starship human ships are completely connected and seamless, as if they were cast from the same mold at once.

This design is neither an empire nor a federation, and no civilization would even do this.It completely violates the principle of "modularity", and its only advantage is...it looks good.

With the empire's overall style, the Federation's ship-based weapons, and the unknown integrated casting structure, such hybrid ships are completely unable to use old theoretical models to evaluate combat effectiveness, so these photos have triggered a lot of controversy in the military fan circle. debate.Everyone is throwing out their own opinions and refuting other people's opinions to prove that they are the right one.

Gradually, rumors about the upcoming military parade began to spread.

"It turns out that there will be a military parade recently." Tenjoin Kazuhana rubbed the center of his eyebrows, "No wonder Sister Izumo has been extremely busy recently. I have seen her taking anti-fatigue drugs several times."

"Don't you know?" Chen Ziang asked in surprise.

"No one told me." Tianshangyuan Hehua said blankly.

Chen Zi'ang helplessly held his forehead. This little secretary of Tsukinomiya Suzuna still didn't have the slightest consciousness of being a superior, and still regarded himself as a hard-working worker.

"In that case, just relax." He suggested to the little girl, "Treat the parade day as your holiday."

"But I still have work to do." Tianshangyuan and Hua cried sadly.

"Tell Suzuna to find someone else to do it." Chen Ziang smiled gently, "Just say it was me."

Tianshangyuan and Hua suddenly mustered up endless courage.She knew about the relationship between Tsukinomiya Suzuna and Chen Ziang, and according to the traditional values ​​​​of the island people, unless the girlfriend has a very strong and domineering personality, she should at least listen to her boyfriend's opinion.

Arriving at the conference room near the bridge, the little girl was about to knock on the door when she suddenly heard Tsukimiya Suzuna's roar coming from inside:

"You are fucking sick!"

"If you come to me just to sound loud, then I have to ask you out." Xia Qingyu's cold voice followed.

It’s a quarrel between gods!Tianshangyuan and Hua couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses, fearing that their breathing would be noticed by the people inside.

"Let me ask you." Tsukimiya Suzuna stepped on her desk unceremoniously, "Why do you want to touch my people?"

"They made a mistake." Xia Qingyu said coldly, "The person who made the mistake was fired. What's the problem?"

"What mistake did they make?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked again, the patience in her voice seemed to have disappeared.

"Incompetence is their biggest fault." The chair under Xia Qingyu made a creaking sound, as if in response to the owner's irritability, "As for the more specific reasons, isn't it already stated in the document?"

"For that kind of reason, no matter who is laid off in the system, I can make up hundreds of them for you!" When Suzuna Tsukimiya said this, her voice suddenly became cold, "Are you making up something unspeakable again? A human conspiracy?"

"Yes." Xia Qingyu replied, "If I say yes, what do you want?"

This time it was Tsukimiya Suzuna's turn to be silent.She was originally not good at things that required racking her brains. Even when she led the starship humans in her previous life, most of the time she left everything to her subordinates. What's more, Xia Qingyu's level in this area is definitely higher than hers. There is no hope of victory in the above confrontation. It is more realistic to start the fight directly here and try to kill it.

"I'll stop you." Her voice dropped.

"Oh?" Xia Qingyu asked calmly, "You don't even know what I'm plotting, but you are confident that you want to stop me?"

Tsukimiya Suzuna didn't answer. She had already thought of an idea: no matter what Xia Qingyu wanted to do, she would do the opposite.

"You don't want to go against me, do you?" Xia Qingyu sneered, "If that's the case, then I will have to adjust my assessment of you downwards, although I guess there is no room for adjustment in the first place. .”

Calvin, let’s add so much first. The Garcia sector needs a ending, and I haven’t sorted out some of the plots yet.

382.Chapter 377 The first descent of the gods

To the outside world, military parades are often viewed as a show of force.

Especially the military parade within the federal star district will be regarded by the federal elves as an extremely dangerous signal of war.
