"Count Togram, Country A once imprisoned a group of people from outside this planet right here. Now these people are under your control. We ask you to return some of them to us."
"The scope of personnel we require includes all personnel loyal to Baron Heaton and Miss Wang Qinyun? Lord Heaton. In return, we have a group of followers of your knights who were captured during the battle outside the orbit of Mars to return. "
"This won't work, absolutely won't work. The control of those personnel should belong to the government of Country A." The person who took over this time was finally the chairman of the Senate Committee on Extraterrestrial Affairs.
"But I think that group of personnel is not under the control of the government of country A now. By the way, if the government of country A is willing to provide convenience for this, we will assist an agent of country A who sneaked into the Count's warship for reconnaissance to return as soon as possible. Home."
The heavy blow that the lieutenant had been preparing for a long time was finally delivered.
"You lied! No one from country A was captured in this war." The senator was still trying to defend himself.
"Do you want me to hold a press conference and reveal his name?" The lieutenant simply threatened to slap him in the face. The senator had no choice but to quickly change the subject after thinking for a long time.
"Which side are you referring to now? The Chinese government or the Martian government?"
"The newly-established Mars territory and the foreign affairs of Baron Heaton in the human solar system are now managed by the Chinese government. Entrusted by Miss Lord Heaton, I would like to make this request on behalf of the Chinese government."
Xu Siqi and Wang Qinyun, who were standing behind the lieutenant, folded their arms at the same time and nodded vigorously, as if I am here, and if you want an imperial edict, I will write it to you immediately.
"I agree to this request, but where should we exchange it?" Count Togram, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke after seeing that Country A could not raise any valid objections.
He actually had no reason to reject this suggestion. It was of no use to him to keep a group of prisoners of war who were not loyal to him. It would be better to exchange for a group of more loyal people. Although there is not much difference between the two types of people in the eyes of the pirates.
It's just a matter of whether they voluntarily or involuntarily swore allegiance to a certain pirate knight, but those who have sworn an oath are always better.
"I think we can stay here. Of course, this requires some convenience from the government of country A." the lieutenant said to the count.
"The ship carrying these personnel can arrive within 10 minutes." Xu Siqi added.
"I protest! You are invading country A's airspace!" The sly senator jumped up immediately.
"Relax, Senator. They are indeed right above us, but at an altitude of 100 kilometers. According to international law, they are not within the airspace."
Xu Siqi immediately counterattacked, "Speaking of international law, it seems that you have just tore up the global space defense common treaty under the framework of the United Nations, and independently started to negotiate peace with aliens, and have even begun to discuss providing war materials to aliens!"
"I have decided that we will exchange it here!" Count Togram did not intend to discuss this issue at all. In his opinion, it was the government of country A that wanted something from him. Moreover, he knows the affairs of his own family, and he cannot move now.
"Okay, we now formally request the government of country A to approve the entry of our ships into the airspace of country A." The lieutenant formally made the last request of this negotiation.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Extraterrestrial Affairs could only wave his hand weakly in agreement.
The water level on the shore of Lake Superior was too low. In the end, Su Qin had to climb up two meters to get close to the shore.
The Taishan has not yet entered hyperspace during its takeoff, and has only made a circle in low-Earth orbit. Although the hundreds of thousands of tons of water in the protective cover have begun to freeze, it has not frozen through. There is only some water on the surface of the water. Some ice floes.
At this moment, all the lighting equipment on the barges outside the Taishan cabin were turned on, illuminating the half of the water globe so transparently that it could be seen at a glance.
"Is this an ecological ball? It looks like there are rocks on the bottom of the sea, as well as kelp and seaweed. Those that are still swimming must be schools of fish." I have to admire these media workers for their strong brainstorming ability. , especially those working in online media.
Almost everyone has ignored the ferocious turrets on the upper half of the Tarzan. Of course, this is also because those turrets are equipped with combat searchlights. These searchlights are now turned on and are part of the entire lighting.
"Wucao, can you turn off a few lights? My eyes are almost going blind." Xu Siqi complained while having to admit that the visual effect was much more technological than those of the real alien spacecraft.
"Just make do with it, my power supply line is still under construction." Li Tianxin said that, but he still ordered all the lights that could be turned off, especially the searchlights to be turned off.
"What do you mean, are you a bastard changing his shell and getting bigger and bigger?" Xu Siqi also noticed when the lights were turned off, the Taishan had grown a lot bigger. "Do you call this supply?"
Su Qin ignored him. I heard that I wanted to ask the same question when I met the detachment leader.
A group of media reporters gathered around the Taishan's protective shield and took pictures, focusing on the half of the water polo.
Su Qin was too lazy to pay attention to these people. He slowly tilted the boat towards the lake shore, preparing to build a springboard to let the people on board disembark.
Unexpectedly, this operation shocked everyone under the boat, and these media reporters thought that the boat might capsize.
"What are you making all the fuss about? I have artificial gravity here. How could the boat capsize?"
Su Qin still ignored them, and let a land shield on the pontoon that was close to the edge of the protective shield retreat to the side. He replaced it with a scissor-type assault bridge erecting vehicle and started working to build a rutted bridge between the lake shore and the Taishan. as a springboard.
At this moment, everyone had to admire the detachment leader's thoughtfulness.
Earl Togram had to pull out all the prisoners rescued in this base for Wang Qinyun to see.
Because he didn't know how many people on his side were captured by the Taishan, and Wang Qinyun didn't know how many crew members of the Jade Waterbird ended up here.
Although a senator from country A suggested that the two sides should follow the procedures for exchanging prisoners of war, first exchanging lists of prisoners of war, and then confirming which people on this list would be used for exchange, the count obviously could not come up with such a list.
Could it be that Wang Qinyun had a list that she almost memorized, so in the end she had to let Wang Qinyun take all the initiative.
Count Togram has not yet decided whether to let these prisoners on board the ship, but he did not restrict the freedom of these prisoners off the ship, because in the building at the base, his people even need these prisoners to guide them and help them Use some of the facilities here.
