"Why me?" Kun pointed to his nose, looking very excited.
"It has to be you!" Crassus smiled, but his tone was firm and could not be refused.
"You have to give me a reason, right?"
"It can only be you, no one else."
Kun was a little crazy, but he didn't dare to break out, so he spread his hands and said, "I really can't do this!"
With a devilish smile, Crassus said: "There is an old saying in the dynasty that you have to do it even if it works, and you have to do it if it doesn't work."
Kun was angry: "The Dynasty didn't say that!"
"Oh, that's what a great man from the Federation said..."
"No one would say such boring things!"
Crassus gently stroked his beautifully trimmed beard and said, "That's what I said. This is an order."
"I do not belong to the regular federal army, nor am I your direct subordinate. Please forgive me for rejecting this order to die!"
Crassus laughed and said: "If you just go to talk about a truce, how can you risk death? Besides, aren't you still a shareholder of Lightyear? If you go, you will have more psychological advantages."
Kun said angrily: "Don't mention it! It's okay if I'm not his shareholder, but it's terrible if I am, especially since I still have a lot of shares, which is even worse. I usually don't show up to him. It's fine in his field of vision, out of sight and out of mind. But if I send it to him myself, maybe he won't do it himself, but he has so many men! Just send some suicide chariots to intercept him halfway, and I won't be able to come back. ?”
Crassus raised his eyebrows: "Is your relationship so unique?"
"That's right!"
Crassus said somewhat suspiciously: "Your excuse is a bit clumsy."
"This is not an excuse! It's a clear fact! I just know what this guy is thinking!" Kundu was about to roar.
Crassus said: "Even I don't know what he thinks, how do you know?"
"Before investing in a company, you must have a very deep and thorough understanding of the core management. This is common sense! In terms of company management, I know Chu Jungui better than I know him!"
Crassus was in awe: "I see, I thought you were afraid that he would avenge his broken arm."
Kun said angrily: "What's one hand? It was repaired casually. I dare to bet you that as long as I am willing to polish the Lightyear stock on my hand, then he is willing to cut off his arms!"
"It's really a complicated relationship!" Crassus sighed for a while, and then said: "In that case, it has to be you. Go ahead, young man, don't be afraid, even if something unexpected happens to you on the way home, Your wealth will still contribute to your family."
In other words, it doesn't matter whether or not Kun is there, as long as his stock is still there.
Kun decided to break out in a different direction: "I am not qualified for the task of negotiating an armistice."
"What's the reason?" Crassus asked.
Kun said quietly: "How can I have that IQ?"
Crassus was startled.
After a while, he laughed loudly, patted Kun on the shoulder hard, and said, "Okay, boy, you have grown up! You have learned to put spies around me!"
After a long laugh, Crassus continued: "Negotiation does not require IQ. You can talk freely and make whatever conditions you want, even if you give half of the federation to Chu Jungui! You said no anyway. Calculate."
Kun gritted his teeth and said: "Do you have to send me to die? We also have a major shareholder who is light years away, Hathaway! Her shares are several times mine!"
Crassus shrugged and said, "Her? Of course not, I can't afford to offend her."
Kun almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It turned out that he was easy to bully, right?
At this moment, the door to Crassus' office was opened, and Hathaway walked in and said calmly: "Armistice negotiations, right? I'll go."
"No, no, no..." Crassus kept shaking his head, and Kun also said beside him: "No! Absolutely not!"
The little princess said: "Is there anyone more suitable than me?"
Kun blurted out: "Of course! Phil! If you send him there, he will definitely not come back!"
Crassus took a deep look at Kun and said helplessly: "Fortunately, Phil is not here, otherwise if he hears your words, life will be difficult in the future."
Quin suddenly looked disdainful: "Am I still afraid of him? It's good if he doesn't downgrade this time. So what if he stays in his original position? A poor guy who can't even afford a private starship!"
Crassus's smile suddenly became stiff.
Hathaway patted Kun on the shoulder and said, "Come with me. You should have two days to prepare. You should practice hard."
Kun suddenly felt that something unexpected had happened, and with Crassus and the little princess, he simply couldn't tolerate his refusal. In this battle, because the pirate flags were placed on both wings, most of them withdrew. Of the 60,000 people who eventually escaped from the Federation, 45,000 belonged to the Jolly Roger.
Among the surviving federal ground forces in the federation, the Jolly Roger is the second largest force after the federal regular army. Yuelun suffered heavy losses in this battle. The entire attacking force was wiped out, leaving only 40,000 troops staying at the base, of which absolutely Most are logistics and auxiliary arms. As a result, the pirate flag that was originally meant to cause trouble suddenly became very important, and the little princess's voice also increased.
Crassus hesitated, but ultimately did not object to the little princess's request to participate in the negotiations. In this way, Kun's fate has been decided. He looked defeated and said to Hathaway: "What did you ask me to practice just now?"
"Fighting."
Kun's whole body trembled and he said: "Aren't we going to negotiate? Why do we need to practice fighting?"
The little princess said lightly: "This meeting probably won't be very pleasant. You should practice well to avoid being beaten too badly."
After the disastrous defeat, Crassus was not relieved of his position as the supreme commander of the war zone and was still responsible for the war in the entire star field. Now that he decided to negotiate, he sent several teams to contact Light Year. It happened that Chu Jungui also wanted to negotiate peace, so the two sides chose a place in the middle of their respective control areas and sent representatives to conduct the first round of negotiations.
Under normal circumstances, armistice negotiations are an extremely complicated matter, and it is common for negotiations to last for several years or even more than ten years. The two sides often fight and talk, talking and fighting at the same time, and repeatedly see-saw and test. Therefore, everyone knows that there will be no results in the first round of negotiations. It is often just a matter of getting familiar with each other first. Generally, it takes seven or eight rounds of negotiations before deciding how to negotiate next.
Chu Jungui's original plan was to send Li Xuancheng, who was sufficient regardless of his status. As for authority, nothing can be discussed in the first round anyway, and he doesn't need to decide anything, it's just a gesture. Chu Jungui didn't think that the 700,000 prisoners he had could bring the Federation to the negotiating table honestly, and adding another 700,000 would be enough. And from another perspective, if the negotiation fails, there may be hundreds of thousands of these 700,000 prisoners who will become light years.
But surprisingly, Lin Xi actually asked to participate in the negotiation.
There is nothing wrong with this request. Li Xuancheng's status is quite special, but his job has always been as a fighter pilot. Even if he is an ace pilot, he is still a pilot! Usually in the cockpit, the only things we deal with are the operating system and weapon system. Lin Xi, on the other hand, served on a starship and successfully commanded dozens of large and small battles, personally leading an elite force. Dealing with people is her strong point, and negotiation is similar to commanding a battle. It is nothing more than a matter of fiction and reality, and trying every means to maximize benefits.
So Chu Jungui agreed to the request without much thought, and then Li Xinyi also wanted to go and have a look. This makes Chu Jungui a little uncertain. Once something happens to the Federation, wouldn't it involve all Lin Xi, Li Xinyi and Li Xuancheng?
However, the political component pointed out that because the dynasty did not have the custom of paying ransom, the value of people was generally low. These three people are what Chu Jungui thinks are important. To be precise, they are 2.05 people, and Li Xuancheng can only be counted as 0.05 people. Except for the test subjects, the three of them together are not worth as much as a handful of the little princess's hair.
There is a basis for the political component to say this. The basis is that the little princess was kidnapped when she was 4 years old. The gentle kidnapper cut off a lock of the little princess's hair and gave it to her father, demanding a ransom of 100 million. The Winton family immediately paid and successfully took Hathaway back. This was considered a quite sensational incident at the time, because even with the vast magical powers of the Winton family, they were unable to find out the whereabouts of the kidnappers, and as time went by, the matter fell into disrepute.
Based on this incident, the political component valued Lin Xi and Li Xinyi at 10 million and 39 million respectively, provided that the experimental subjects could not interfere. Li Xuancheng's net worth is only 500,000. The reason for the assembly is that he cannot cooperate and will not surrender, so he has no work output and has to be fed. The royal family of the dynasty only sounds glamorous, but in fact most of it is spent on the public budget, which is the so-called taxpayers' money. Therefore, there are a group of people who, although they have not paid a lot of taxes, are born with a strong sense of responsibility and are staring at the imperial family, trying to see how much money they spend is not in line with their wishes.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible to expect the imperial family to pay even a dollar's ransom for Li Xuancheng.
After analyzing the political components, Chu Jungui felt a little relieved. In fact, what gave him confidence was not that Lin Xi and others were worthless, and that the federation was not worth fighting against. The real confidence is in the underworld cannon that is about to be completed. If the federation dares to take action against Lin Xi, then Chu Jungui will make the federation pay several times or even dozens of times, and the leader will definitely pay the price with his career. . To put it bluntly, the underworld cannon is the truth that the Federation can understand, and it is the only truth that can be understood.
Of course, the more things like underworld cannons, the better. In order to have more eggs, you first have to have more hens. So two groups of engineering arks have set off to the corners of the Federation that cannot be seen, where two brand new energy bases will soon appear, and additional industrial bases will be built later. It won't be long before Chu Jungui will have four energy bases in his hands. In the past battle, Chu Jungui defeated 500,000 federal troops with only one energy base.
The only worry now is, why doesn't Brother Dao give birth?
