In the Space-Time Bureau, General Sheng Xia, who should have retired honorably, was unfortunately exiled after she impulsively "slandered" her superior before her departure.
Waking up...
Chapter 85 Thank you for the starship sent by the enemy
Although the other party repeatedly emphasized that the sponsorship for studying abroad was all because they saw the potential of these children and were willing to pave the way for them without paying any additional compensation, and even if Shengxia did not agree, the sponsorship could be kept confidential and provided in a private manner,
But at the same time, the other party also insisted that this was definitely not a reward for Shengxia and the others finding the eldest son of the Seiros family. This part of the reward was still being debated within the Seiros family.
As for Shengxia's proposal to convert the sponsorship into a reward, the other party repeatedly rejected it and asked Shengxia to "think about it again".
Shengxia: ??? I don’t even want to think about it!
The two sides were deadlocked on this issue, smiling at each other.
But for Shengxia, compared with the out-of-reach Federal Headquarters, the Golden Fleet, which is directly parked in the attack orbit of the planet Volk, can fire at the planet Volk at any time. When faced with such power, without some hard power, everything is empty.
But there is one advantage. Perhaps it is because the Cyrus family is still arguing internally, so even though the negotiations between the two sides are stuck, the other party obviously has no intention of "successfully succeeding", which gives Shengxia some time to catch her breath and think of a solution.
But just when Shengxia was trying to use the recess to contact more professors from elite universities outside the Federation, the commander-in-chief of the Golden Fleet came over again and more accurately handed Shengxia a list of students that the Seros family intended to sponsor.
Shengxia and Mo Siming took a look together. Wow, the list of senior students who had been suddenly rejected by the elite universities in the Federation was all on it.
"The start of the school year for these universities is almost here. As the hope of Planet Volk, I believe you don't want to see these students end up without books to read or having their enrollment delayed."
"Again, you sign, and we'll provide the full funding. You won't have to pay any fees or costs. I don't understand why you're still hesitating. The conditions for winning the lottery like this are something the Cyrus family wouldn't come up with once in a hundred years."
"Since it only opens once every century, if I want to be confident in getting it, you have to give me a more practical reason."
Hearing the commander-in-chief of the Golden Fleet still saying the same thing, Shengxia decisively interrupted his subsequent words. However, the old fox on the other side really refused to reveal any flaws.
"If you're worried about the sponsorship agreement hiding something fishy, you could review it multiple times or just write your own contract. Wouldn't that give you more peace of mind?"
When Mo Siming heard what the other party said, he almost blurted out: "What's the point of the contract? Is it our planetary commander Shengxia that you want?"
As long as Shengxia is under control, these students sent out now will all be pawns and consumables of the Seros family in the future. No, Mo Siming lowered his eyes. Maybe the other party will look down on these consumables, but they can use these consumables to tie Shengxia down.
Thinking of this, Mo Siming unconsciously held Shengxia's hand, as if to encourage Shengxia, don't worry, they won't tie her up to death, no matter what she wants to do in the future, he will support her without hesitation.
Shengxia lowered her eyes. Facing an old fox like the Commander-in-Chief of the Golden Fleet, if she directly accused him of using some trickery to prevent these people from enrolling, he would only follow the clues and emphasize the power of the Seiros family, and then pressure her to sign as soon as possible. So... she had to catch him off guard.
"The Golden Fleet has been docked above us for so long. Have you found out what the surrounding star region forces are planning to do with us?"
"As long as you sign, that's not a problem."
"It seems that she is. I also guess that the other party is about to lose his patience."
"There's still a month until school starts. Time waits for no one."
"The leaders of the surrounding star regions have been wanting to make changes for a while now, and they will only become more active now."
"So if you sign, you'll be safe."
"Does the Golden Fleet have any ready-made intelligence? Tell me some."
Commander-in-Chief of the Golden Fleet: ...So tired
Shengxia: ...Old Fox
Mo Siming: ……… Is this the legendary talking at cross purposes and not caring about each other?
Suddenly, the commander-in-chief of the Golden Fleet stood up. He slapped the list in front of Shengxia and finally tore off his smiling tiger disguise. When he took the pen, his voice subconsciously tensed: "Sign."
This was practically forcing Shengxia to agree to the funding plan, but what Mo Siming didn't expect was that Shengxia was also unusually stubborn. She folded her arms and replied with only two words: "Price."
The two sides were stuck in a stalemate. Although Mo Siming said nothing, the sweat on his forehead could not stop. He tried to ease the atmosphere and do or say something with his best ability.
But in the end, under the strong pressure of the two sides, who were on the verge of a showdown and refused to give in, he couldn't utter a word.
"Ah, if there is a God, please, please, something will happen soon so we can get through this difficult time."
When he was completely desperate and realized that this stalemate could not continue, someone suddenly rushed into the meeting room and informed Shengxia in panic that Fu Qianshen had opened fire on the starship.
"What?! What starship?!" Mo Siming slammed his desk and stood up, his face full of excitement. He almost shook the hand of the person who broke into the meeting room to report the news and shouted "Well done!"
"The situation is urgent. We must interrupt the meeting immediately." Before he finished speaking, Shengxia had already disappeared like the wind, leaving Mo Siming and the commander-in-chief of the Golden Fleet stunned.
"No?" The commander-in-chief of the Golden Fleet had just asked this question when Mo Siming fled, imitating Shengxia and leaving the meeting room without looking back.
The commander-in-chief of the Golden Fleet faced the empty conference room alone:? ?! No, he was just left behind like that? ?
The Federal Security Bureau of Planet Volker did not wake up from a dream until it was confirmed that the starship that broke into the airspace of Planet Volker was hit by the poisonous bee-tailed starship missile launched from the ground launch silo. He demanded with sweat on his forehead that the incident be reported to Shengxia immediately and that a rescue and reconnaissance team be dispatched immediately to carry out a rescue around the shot down starship.
Damn it, Fu Qianshen couldn't help but think that he was too irrational. Maybe this was the other party's bait, waiting to be hit so that he could use it as an excuse to launch an invasion war.
But is the defense power of Planet Volk sufficient now?
Some of the arms have been sold, and some personnel have gone on home leave. What's worse is that a large number of their international students have not yet been sent abroad.
If the enemy blockaded the star region port, wouldn't all these international students be locked up on Planet Volk along with them?!
Impulsive, he is really too impulsive. Can the planet commander deal with it?
Damn it, maybe she had already negotiated with the Seiros family and was just waiting for a promotion. It was all his fault. Now everything might be in vain...
Just when Fu Qianshen was feeling extremely upset, Shengxia rushed to the control room with Mo Siming.
"I, the planetary commander!" Fu Qianshen choked up as he spoke the first sentence, but Shengxia patted his shoulder and praised him without waiting for his explanation, "You did a great job!"
"No, no, no, I ruined your plan."
"Your timing is perfect. Who was so blind as to bump into you? Hahaha, I'm going to give them a banner. It's like sending a gift from afar, even if it's small, the thought behind it is huge!"
"ah?"
Listening to Sheng Xia's hearty laughter, Fu Qianshen was a little confused, and at this time Mo Siming couldn't help but sigh, "You've been called upon for a long time, and you came at the right time. Well done! You did an exceptionally good job!"
Fu Qianshen: ???
"Let the satellite monitoring track back and I'll see what's going on."
While Shengxia was watching the surveillance, Mo Siming happily explained to Fu Qianshen that the negotiations were still at a stalemate, and neither side was willing to make concessions first. Seeing that the other side was about to force Shengxia to sign, the arrival of this starship was a good thing, as there was reason to continue to fight with the other side.
Fu Qianshen was stunned. He was silent for who knows how long before he asked cautiously, "So... you... haven't successfully negotiated with the other party yet?"
"Well, Shengxia is very strong, awesome!" Mo Siming gave Fu Qianshen a thumbs up.
"No...you, you, didn't you say that at the beginning?" Fu Qianshen pointed at Mo Siming, his words a little unclear, but at this time Mo Siming pulled Fu Qianshen's shoulders, lowered his voice and whispered in Fu Qianshen's ear: "That was my preset situation, I, I preset it, but Shengxia didn't follow my preset!"
"You shouldn't have followed your assumptions. She's our planet's commander!" "Yes, yes, yes."
Mo Siming couldn't help laughing when he saw Fu Qianshen, who seemed to have finally figured out that he would not be abandoned by his mother and finally got over his grievance and unwillingness.
"Interesting! They disguised their starship as a tourist vessel, yet repeatedly ignored our warnings and attempted a forced landing on Planet Volk."
Shengxia looked at the surveillance camera and unconsciously rubbed her chin with her hand: "It looks like we have a tough battle to fight."
"Wait, here, this logo!" Mo Siming suddenly stepped forward and pointed out a spray-painted pattern that appeared after the starship was hit in the surveillance. This pattern was the symbol used for blessing on Hulaya, the planet closest to Volk among the surrounding star forces.
After hearing this, Shengxia turned around and told Wei Jie to think of a plan for the subsequent public opinion war. At the same time, he called on Fu Qianshen to prepare for a full-scale battle and personally go to Ghost Mountain with Mo Siming to see if the ultra-long-range strike weapons left there by the surrounding star field forces can be tested in a threatening manner. It is imperative to muddy the waters of the surrounding star field forces.
"Attack the target?" Fu Qianshen and Mo Siming asked in unison.
"Of course it's the planet Arka, which is the farthest from us but also the most powerful." Shengxia raised the corner of her mouth.
"Oh, Planet Alka, wait, huh???"
At the same time, Putt was outside the central monitoring room where Shengxia and the others were discussing countermeasures. Seeing Mo Siming patting Shengxia's arm from time to time and getting particularly close to her, Putt's pupils shrank unconsciously.
However, the staff who passed by Put only took a look at Put who was secretly observing from the door and then retracted their curious eyes. After all, during this period of time, everyone tacitly accepted Put's existence as the "stupid beauty (male)" with a child's mind who followed behind Shengxia and was designated by Shengxia to be protected.
Put: ...
