Him and their stars.

Chapter 1073 Furniture
Yu Lian didn't know until everyone returned to the embassy that Mrs. Lina Wilbart and several high-level personnel of the embassy had already left early.

As the chief military officer, Major General Oswood, is still anxiously waiting for everyone here.When he got the good news from Colonel Silva, he immediately showed a cheerful smile full of sincerity and gratitude, and held Yu Lian's hands tightly and shook them for half a minute. Get down on your knees and say, "You are a savior from heaven."

"Actually, this arms purchase case has been delayed for more than a year, and we have communicated with the alliance for no less than [-] meetings. However, the alliance is really difficult to deal with! To the spirit of the universe, we are really I tried my best. However, if it continues like this, the bosses on the other side of the earth will really be dissatisfied with the work of the embassy. It doesn't matter if the ambassador's wife and the counselor have backgrounds, but I, the first person in charge, are quite It's embarrassing, maybe I have to be transferred to New China to work as a consultant for the security team."

Did Xin Shenzhou eat your rice or something?It sounds like a place of exile.Also, if you really try your best, you won't be too scared to attend the meeting after one assassination, right?

"But anyway, blessed by the spirit of the universe, you are finally here. You are here, and we ordinary people who are persecuted by the gods of the earth and bullied by the profiteers of the alliance finally have a backbone."

Yu Lian felt that they were all chief military officers stationed in big countries, and the Alliance's side was far behind Major General Walter Lal on the Empire's side.Speaking of which, Major General Lal is currently working as deputy to Lieutenant General Sai Yue on the front line of the New World. I heard that the two cooperate very well.

But in any case, Major General Oswood at least knows when, where, and in front of whom to show a low profile enough. This workplace survivability is at least full, and now he almost knelt down and kowtowed to himself. one already.As a mature adult, Yu Lian can't always slap each other again.

On the contrary, Chester Roses told Yu Lian in private that Major General Oswood was actually the brother-in-law of a big boss of the Communist Party.Now, President Nishita of the Political Friendship Party has come to power. Although he claims to be a coalition government formed by the three major parties, his position is a bit embarrassing, which is why he is so anxious.

"...Speaking of which, all the members of the earth (global) rape, ah no, why did people from the pro-imperial Communist Party go to the alliance to serve as military attaches?"

"Mr. Mao Yuanzuo is actually a sensible person. Although most of the Co-Prosperity Party are old and young who are pro-imperial, whoever said that they can't have a little idea in the alliance." Luo Zeshi said.

"Indeed, this is what x-raping creatures are best at. Even Mao Yuanzuo, that old bat... ah bah, old monster, has advantages worth learning from."

There is nothing good to say if you co-authored and changed your mouth?Luo Zeshi smiled wryly in his heart, but said, "You mean sitting on the fence?"

"It's the political sensitivity of judging the situation, and the bottom line of acting flexibly! Excellent Bolsheviks don't expect to be able to read the scriptures to kill the enemy, but to maintain a dialectical development vision and flexible handling while keeping their nature and principles. That’s the real truth.”

Luo Zeshi said: "If Mr. Mao Yuanzuo knew how high you think of him, maybe he would be your confidant. When my father attended his private banquet last time, he expressed regret at the banquet that he could not give up early. Knowing you is really a pity in my life. Fortunately, it is not too late to start over now."

He paused, and then said: "Inviting our old principal, Admiral Maxell, to enter politics, and pushing him to the position of chairman of the national defense committee, should be the so-called beginning."

Yu Lian suddenly had goose bumps all over his body.To be honest, I can still make false claims with President Nishita, and even pretend to be a brother, but if it is that old monster Mao Yuanzuo, it may be difficult to control my right hand and directly use a big dick.

"Regardless of whether it is true, good or beautiful, General Oswood has worked in the alliance for five or six years. Regardless of his ability, he still has some ability... Uh, I mean, he still has some connections and a team. I am going to the north this time. , The inspection went so smoothly, thanks to his help. There is still half a year to complete the outfitting work of our four dreadnoughts, and there is a lot of work to be done by him. As for the subsequent eight ships, he only needs to follow your plan. A good strategy can be completed on time with guaranteed quality. According to your East Asian allusions? By the way, Xiao Gui Cao Sui. You don’t want to spend your precious time in the alliance all the time, dealing with these trivial paperwork and lip service Let's work?"

Well, Yu Lian admitted that what the other party said was quite reasonable.Since Major General Oswood is a person with full office survival skills, it means that he should be an excellent bureaucrat.

The disadvantage of excellent bureaucrats is that they do not have the courage and responsibility to change and create, but their advantage is that as long as they are given a plan, they can always implement it step by step.

"Wait, Davarichchester, are you thinking about this kind of thing every day?" Yu Lian suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Among us, there must be someone who has to think about this." Luo Zeshi shrugged nonchalantly:

"I still have some self-knowledge. The talent of commanding troops is not top-notch. It is absolutely impossible to surpass you and Horatio. Even William and Masaaki lack the decisiveness to advance and retreat. Strategies are not as good as Hachiman's." And Mihir, I also like to think about armaments and training. Now if I think about personnel work, I can make the best use of it.”

Is this your personnel job?Yu Lian always felt that the other party's words were a bit suspicious of Versailles, but since it was the direction of his efforts chosen by his companion, he couldn't express his objection casually.

Then there will be this dinner, which is expected to be held at the Hall of Mirrors of the Galaxy Conference Center on the Gem Coast at six o'clock in the evening.

Although the other party said that all members of the arms purchase negotiation team here were invited, as long as they are mature adults, they can still understand the subtext.In fact, those who are really qualified to participate in this banquet are Yu Lian himself as the head of the regiment, and his two generals, Colonel Silva and Major Rosses.

Everyone’s comfortable uniforms for officers were replaced by military uniforms covered with medals, ribbons and various decorations. They dragged Yu Lian, who still didn’t want to go, into the car, and hurried to the place of the banquet, the famous Xinghe Conference Center Building.

If the orbital buildings in outer space and the ruins of the enlightened people buried under the rock and soil accumulated for hundreds of millions of years are discarded, this Galaxy Conference Center is the largest single building on the entire galaxy.

Its height exceeds 2000 meters, and its construction area exceeds 2000 million square meters. Standing on the coast of the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, it looks like an indomitable god, overlooking the country it guards and dominates.Of course, this is actually due to its extremely oppressive huge size.

In fact, the appearance of this building is more like a solar sail inserted upside down on the ground, or a monument narrow at both ends and wide to the lieutenant general, probably to commemorate the great era of interstellar navigation, those early star seas the pioneers.This is also a very famous tourist attraction in the universe. There have been many famous international conferences held here in history, and the appearance rate in textbooks and various film and television works is also quite high.

However, Yu Lian, who was hungry, always felt that this building looked more like a chicken leg stuck upside down on the ground.

Yes, he felt hungry again now.After all, the long meeting and the battle of wits with Krell and the Polaris Design Bureau are quite a test of mental and physical strength.

Of course, he is now a "sage" with six rings, even if he eats much more than ordinary people, he can still absorb the essence of the world, the sun and the moon, and even rely on cosmic radiation to prolong his own life.But wouldn't this make him less and less human?It completely violates the inheritance of the Taoist lineage of my Spiritual Research Association.

It is natural for people to be hungry when they should be hungry.

Looking at the conference hall, Yu Lian couldn't help sighing: "Dangdangdang~~~~ I'm hungry."

Although he didn't understand why the other party said "clang", Colonel Silva hurriedly said: "You, you insist on it. Although it is in the nature of a buffet, there is still a chef serving on site. For this kind of high-end dinner, the food should be There will be no shortage."

Yu Lian flicked the general on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I am also a mature general, and I will always deal with the situation that needs to be dealt with. I just wanted to say such a famous line a long time ago. "

Of course, Colonel Silva didn't understand where the "name" of such a line was, but he was used to this kind of thing now, so he nodded with a look of sympathy and said: "So that's it, I understand you very well." .”

The old senior's ability to survive is indeed extremely strong, but Yu Lian thinks it is understandable.

The banquet was held in the Hall of Mirrors, which is also a well-known high-end banquet hall in the Convention Center Building.Many historical events have also taken place here, and many state banquets have also been held here.

However, the host of this banquet was not the central government of the alliance, but a celebration banquet jointly organized by the alliance's Ministry of Defense and the Interstellar Trade Committee. In addition to the diplomatic missions, business representatives from the two countries were also invited.This is naturally used to celebrate the recent boom in business between the two countries.

This kind of commercial dinner is actually led by the military, which sounds wrong.But as long as you think about it carefully, the largest trade between the two countries in recent years is the arms trade, which is understandable.

In addition to this five-year period, a total of twelve dreadnought ships, and the "first in this century" military industry order involving a trillion-dollar transaction, there are also various small and medium-sized warships, fighter planes, and ground armored vehicles. , New power armor.It even includes a fair number of production lines and production licensing deals.

It can be said that apart from capital ships and mystic weapons, the alliance really has the flavor of a blood-selling armed community.

However, Yu Lian knew that after this operation, what would happen to the finances of the two governments, he couldn't tell, but at least the alliance military-industrial complex had a very happy life.

No, I just entered the banquet hall with the Second General Heng Ha, and I was obviously late, but I was still warmly welcomed by everyone.In just five or six minutes, he received forty or fifty business cards with exquisite workmanship, all of which were high-level executives from well-known military enterprises such as Furnace Heavy Industry, Cinderella Group, and Raytheon Defense Group.

Among them, the one that bothered Yu Lian the most was an executive director of Raytheon Industries named Aiger Noshkot.This is a tall, handsome middle-aged uncle in his early forties.

The surname Nuoxiu Kete made Yu Lian think about it for a moment.It's also one of fourteen that are "supposedly" ruling the league behind the scenes.

However, the other party smiled and said that the alliance does not have a so-called behind-the-scenes ruler family.What's more, the family's history is so long, there are no more than [-] people with the surname Nuoxiu Kete in the alliance, and he is really just a laborer born in an ordinary family.

Out of diplomatic courtesy, Yu Lian decided to believe it for now.

Later, the director said that Raytheon Heavy Industries is negotiating with the community about the introduction of the T95 all-terrain general-purpose combat vehicle, the U77 Magic Flute multi-functional missile, and the Type 18 wide-area gravitational source radar.If there is a chance, I hope that Yu Lian, a "war hero" and "military industry expert", can stand at a higher level of execution and give a reasonable evaluation report.This is very important for both parties.

Yu Lian thought that he could be considered a "war hero" for now, but when did he become a "military industry expert" again?My own gameplay at the God of War Festival was all played by green skins. It is said that I have been scoffed at by academic military experts.

In other words, the operation that I put together more than 100 revisions to the Polaris Design Bureau in two hours has already spread?
Of course, none of the above is the point.

The point is that these three weapons are all star products of Raytheon Industry, and they are also the most important weapons of the alliance.They have been equipped with the alliance military for some years, and they have indeed shown excellent performance in actual combat, but they have never been exported.

Is this also a butterfly effect to some extent?

Yu Lian felt that he should think about the situation behind this.

In any case, although these people are the spokespersons of capital interests, they are all outstanding talents who speak well and do things practically.They control the flow of trillions of funds and the industrial giants of the largest and most complete military industrial chain in the universe, and their status and power far exceed the heads of state of many small countries.

In comparison, the top executives in the financial industry have been squeezed to the periphery.

Yu Lian was a little pleased, and actually felt that this was acceptable.He firmly believes that when a country is under the control of a military-industrial complex, although it is evil and reactionary, it still does the personnel work of large-scale production and large-scale industry in general.But once it is in the hands of financial chaebols who can only play numbers games, the speed of degeneration will simply amaze addicts.

...Of course, Yu Lian, as a clean and honest community officer, is not too closely connected with the financial industry.

In addition, he did see a lot of people in the cultural and sports circles at the banquet, including the few young ladies with an average appearance of more than [-] that he met in Krell's hotel in the Turanca galaxy last time.It can be seen that apart from their stunning beauty, they have indeed achieved some achievements in their respective professional fields.

It's just that, for this kind of banquet, people in the cultural and sports circles are actually vases that decorate the scene and enliven the atmosphere. Although they are in this luxurious hall of mirrors, they are no different from those exquisite and elegant furniture.

Yu Lian, who was hungry, always kept the business smile carefully designed by Feifei, resisting the urge to destroy everything, and coped with such unproductive high-end social activities with ease.

He can only comfort himself that this alliance-style buffet is relatively open-minded, at least he can move around freely while holding a glass of wine, and he doesn't need to sit with some guests he doesn't know at all. , responding to each other with awkward but polite smiles, while listening to a long series of rambling words from some big boss on the stage.

Yes, on the podium in the hall, there are no political and business leaders who are giving speeches, only a group of bands are playing.There is no special dining table in the hall, but there are rest areas, dining tables and service desks for chefs on both sides of the hall.The wide central hall has an unobstructed view and is quite spacious, allowing guests to move around freely, looking for collaborators who like each other to communicate with each other.

I don't know how many political conspiracies and political and business collusions were decided in this relaxed atmosphere.

After dismissing the high-ranking figures who were the last one to send their business cards, Yu Lian hurriedly slipped to the rest area alone, thinking about something to eat.It might be a little too much to ask them to get yourself a whole roast lamb.

Then, he saw that in the corner of the rest area, Claire Belmont was really playing with a roast whole lamb.He quickly felt Yu Lian's gaze, and immediately signaled the latter with a playful smile to come over quickly.
