War is everywhere.
The strolling chat between Chu Jungui and Hathaway lasted a total of 26 minutes, 17 seconds and 31 seconds. Every time unit beat may be a trigger for other battlefields. The test subject actually didn't have a very clear feeling, but the crisis was like an ice needle, constantly piercing his tailbone.
What we talked to Hathaway were actually business matters. Regardless of the confidentiality level, they were all major matters that Light Years needed to think about and deal with. In particular, the signing of the supplementary agreement is a key step in turning the armistice into a legal document. What Hathaway was talking about was the tradition and political culture of the Federation. In fact, it was tantamount to revealing the trump card and allowing both parties to find a basis for reaching consensus.
But these cold contents made her say it with a slight smile, with an elegant, calm, and even a little playful feeling, as if two close people were talking about sex, without looking at it at all. They are discussing the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people.
Under the backlight of the storm clouds, Hathaway's profile lines were outlined, and even each eyebrow had a small halo at its tip. Her face seemed to be bathed in flowing soft light. , breathtakingly beautiful.
Every move of the little princess was still so perfect, but Chu Jungui was now able to control himself and would not pick her up again. In fact, now Chu Jungui has understood why he had that reaction. The main reason is that perfection is not only the external form, but also the inner strength. The little princess's gift can be a pure courtesy, or it can become a fatal move. As a test subject created for the next generation of war machines, it relies more on instinct to deal with external threats and does not need to think. In the test subject training program back then, as long as the testers had the idea of drawing a gun, they would be shot in the heart before their hands even touched the gun.
Now walking beside her, Chu Jungui would still feel his muscles twitch from time to time, but there was nothing unusual on the surface.
In the distant office, Li Xinyi was staring at her watch, counting the time second by second.
Lin Xi felt a headache, put down the light screen in his hand, and sighed: "Are you a time-telling bird?"
Li Xinyi simply threw the roster aside and said, "It's already 27 minutes and 19 seconds! It's not difficult for them to exchange 1,000 words of information in one minute, right? It took such a long time to make a treaty."
Lin Xi stroked her forehead helplessly and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Li Xinyi also felt a little out of control, but she had no intention of reviewing the list. She threw the light screen aside and stared at the window in a daze.
On the other side, Hathaway had finished talking about the business. She looked at the time and said, "We have been talking for 31 minutes. It's time for me to go."
"So anxious? Please stay a little longer!" Chu Jungui said.
The little princess rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you saying this politely? If not, I will really stay."
"Of course they are not polite words." Chu Jungui quickly clarified.
The little princess chuckled and said: "It turns out pretty fast. Forget it, I won't embarrass you, some people are already about to explode. I'll stay a little longer, and when I leave, some of them will be easier for you."
"What does it matter if you stay a little longer?" Chu Jungui looked confused.
The little princess chuckled again, took half a step towards him, opened her arms slightly, as if she wanted to give him a hug, but the movement stopped at the beginning and then took it back.
"I'm leaving!" She walked towards the apron. Chu Jungui was naturally going to be sent to the fighter plane.
Walking onto the tarmac, the little princess suddenly bent down, picked up a fighter plane part, looked at it, and then glanced at the still smoking fighter plane not far away, smiled, and stuffed the part into Chu Jun Return it to your hands, then board the fighter plane and fly away.
Snapped! Li Xinyi snapped her fingers, and the timer stopped at 35 minutes and 26 seconds.
Chu Jungui didn't return to the office building until the fighter plane flew away. Lin Xi and Li Xinyi were already waiting for him in the conference room. As soon as Chu Jungui entered the conference room, Lin Xi said: "This is the draft text just sent by the Federation. Shall we discuss it now?"
This was a big deal. Chu Jungui immediately got into work mode and felt inexplicably relieved. Li Xinyi's worries were written all over her face, but she had no choice but to join in.
The second armistice negotiations were held as scheduled. Crassus and Hathaway arrived at the same time, and there were two new faces in the delegation. The importance of this negotiation can be said to be second only to the first negotiation. The two parties need to negotiate the specific details of the ransom delivery and the confirmation of neutral status.
Having experienced the first negotiation, Crassus and Chu Jungui did not waste time this time. After shaking hands and sitting down, Crassus took a deep breath, opened his mouth and said: "Ji~~~"
This sound was continuous, almost inaudible, like a cutter cutting glass, making everyone change their color and feel dizzy. But he took a very long breath, and it took him several minutes to stop.
Chu Jungui on the opposite side smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied. Then he opened his mouth with a smile, and also used a utility knife to cut the glass. This time the carving was a hyperbola, and it was endless.
After hearing this, Crassus let out a long laugh, his mouth formed an O shape, and a sharp voice blurted out. The voice was as sharp and harsh as an old hen that has been mature for thousands of years and cannot lay eggs.
Crassus used real skills this time. He didn't even need a mouth or tongue. He could transmit thousands of data by directly speaking from his throat.
Chu Jungui thought for a moment and opened his lips slightly. Everyone felt as if they heard something, but they also seemed to hear nothing, but their chest felt like they had been punched hard, their hearts tightened, and they had a splitting headache. It turns out that Chu Jungui even used infrasound waves.
Crassus was obviously outmatched, so he took out a light screen, spread out the five fingers of his left hand, and scratched the light screen from top to bottom, only to hear a creaking sound, which made people want to strangle him to death.
Fortunately, scratching the light screen brought an end to the first stage of negotiations. Most of the people in the delegations from both sides were pale, with sweat on their foreheads and angry eyes, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Only Chu Jungui and Crassus looked at each other and smiled, quite like heroes cherishing each other.
Chu Jungui and Crassus looked at each other and laughed enough, and then they each dictated to their subordinates what they had just discussed. The staff member responsible for the meeting minutes invited technical experts to interpret it nervously before they finally understood what exactly happened.
When Crassus and Chu Jungui started chattering, they actually sped up their speech speed by more than 20 times. To be precise, Crassus's speech speed was 27 times and Chu Jungui's was 29 times. Crassus' three-minute long speech would have lasted more than an hour for a congressman who relied exclusively on talking. Crassus's hen aria later is no longer just a faster speech, it is actually two channels plus a channel dedicated to transmitting data.
But Chu Jungui's infrasound is simple, just abandon the sound channel, open a large-capacity data channel, and smash the data to death.
Crasu's single-channel transmission bandwidth was far less than Chu Jungui's, and he had never practiced the talent of emitting infrasound waves from his throat. In the end, he had no choice but to scratch the light screen and use five data channels to barely keep up with Chu Jungui's data transmission volume. .
Fortunately, both parties use clear codes to transmit data, so that they can communicate with each other and technical experts can be used.
The two talked for a total of 19 minutes before agreeing on the terms of prisoner screening, transfer and ransom payment, which were specifically reflected in the treaty, which was a treaty text with a total of 11 chapters, 192 major articles, and 1,100 detailed items. More than a dozen staff from both delegations worked together and worked together for two hours to complete the text.
When the staff were busy, Chu Jungui and Crassus were not idle either. They were both meditating on what was going on behind them, and occasionally chatting with each other. At this time, he was no longer so anxious, and his speaking speed was much more normal. Just a few chirps would suffice.
After finally waiting for the prisoner of war treaty to be completed, the two sides officially entered into negotiations on light-year status and treatment. This negotiation is relatively simple. The treatment and responsibilities that neutral forces should have are written in the law. Just find the one that applies. However, Crassus played a little trick in it, defining Lightyear as a potential friendly object among neutral forces. This definition was not only a literal benefit, but also had many related preferential policies. These few words alone are worth at least tens of billions.
This part of the agreement was much faster. It only took the staff more than an hour to complete the document production. A total of more than 70 digital documents were placed in front of the two people. After signing, Lightyear kept 5 copies, while Crassus wanted The remaining 70 files are archived.
After signing, the time is almost up. Crassus and Chu Jungui will not need to come forward in future negotiations. On the federal side, staff from relevant agencies will take over the negotiation, signature and implementation of specific treaty details. For example, the two new faces in the federal delegation today are actually members of the federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responsible for the review and implementation of Lightyear's diplomatic status.
While the staff was busy, Chu Jungui was studying the meaning of potential friendly partners. After carefully studying the relevant terms, Chu Jungui realized how huge the benefits contained behind these words were.
The first is that the federal technology level open to light years can be relaxed to 50 years behind. Normal neutral forces can only obtain technology that is 150 years behind the times from the Federation. In terms of technological openness, it is almost the same as the official allies of the Federation. Another point is the open supply of materials. Lightyear is able to obtain a large amount of sensitive strategic materials from the Federation, of which 610 of the more than 700 rare materials are allowed to be imported. Finally, the comprehensive tariff on Lightyear products is only 6%.
From these points, we can see that Crassus is indeed sincere. But he also got what he wanted. While the staff was still making documents, Crassus sent Chu Jungui several news reports, all from federal mainstream media. The titles of the reports are all in the following style:
"Conquer the enemy without fighting!" 》
"General Crassus exchanged all federal prisoners of war at a low price for a ransom of 10,000 yuan per capita"
"The military is so powerful that Light Years builds a super-standard camp specifically for the Federation"
Just by reading these news reports, Chu Junhui thought that Crassus was the victor, and that Lightyear had to build luxurious villas for a few unlucky federal prisoners of war, and provide them with delicious food and drink. Of course, strictly speaking, these questions do not deviate from the facts, but the angle of selecting the facts is different. Anyway, readers do not care that nearly 1 million people were actually arrested in the Federation, nor do they know that the minimalist barracks are actually full of people. There are three floors of Datong Shop on the upper, middle and lower floors. On the contrary, because a large number of the top luxury houses in the Federation are in the modern minimalist style, these barracks are easily associated with floor-to-ceiling windows, natural stone islands, custom-made furniture, landscaped atriums, etc. If you just look at the outer walls, it looks like these prisoners of war are on vacation in an alien planet.
For Chu Jungui, it is enough to get the benefits anyway, and Crassus can brag as much as he wants. He was flipping through the news reports when suddenly time froze and a big hole appeared silently above the negotiation hall. Then he punched the hole with the power of moving mountains and filling the sea, and suppressed it head on!
