Linton didn't expect Sean to urge himself, this is really not his style.

"I'll change my clothes and I'll be back later." Linton waited for his father to go online, not wanting to leave immediately, "about 10 minutes."

"It takes you so long to change clothes?"

"I can't help it." Linton lay on the chair and said nonsense, "The night meeting should be more grand, Major General."

After dealing with Sean, he withdrew his energy to focus on Wei Brain.

"Then there's no need." Sean said, "I brought the clothes."

Linton: "..."

Linton heard something was wrong, cut off the connection to the microcomputer, and turned to open the door.

Sure enough, Sean was standing outside the door, holding a black cloak in his hand, which looked very heavy.

"The night in Xingdian is very cold. I have sent clothes to all of your subordinates. These are yours."

Sean handed him the cloak, turned around and walked out, at a quick pace.

Linton knew that it was hopeless to contact his father today, so he had to close the door to follow, and calmly put on the cloak.It has to be said that although the clothes of the third base lack practicality, they are retro and elegant in shape, and the materials are luxurious enough to withstand the cold night.

Linton couldn't help stroking the furry edges with his drooping hands.

Sheen glanced back and gave him a look.

Linton let go of his hands as if nothing had happened, "The major general's clothes are nice."

Sean was slightly taken aback, but did not respond.

"I touched the logo of your family." Linton added kindly.

"That's because I want to install bugs and tracking devices on it." Sean said, "You can take it off if you don't worry."

"Why are you worried?" Linton said, "I have no plans to do anything. At most, I will wear it to the meeting hall and let Duke Orson see it."

The main road of the palace was dark and silent, only the track lights of the skimmers in the distance flickered regularly.Sean stopped suddenly, turned around in the dim light, and stared at Linton.

Linton saw a hint of anger on his cold face.

"No matter what the Duke of Orson thinks, this will not affect the result of the vote." Sean said, "We will still support the fourth base's claim for compensation. If the other party offers more favorable conditions, Major General Linton, we have agreed at noon It can also be discarded."

Linton retracted his smile and stared at Sean quietly.

"In terms of personal feelings, I don't like you very much. But out of respect for the First Base, I am willing to give you a priority to negotiate." Shine said, "I hope Major General Linton can clearly understand this. Whether the negotiation is successful or not depends entirely on your sincerity."

The implication is that whoever the third base forms an alliance with depends entirely on who offers favorable terms on both sides.

"You're extorting." Linton looked at Sean expressionlessly.

"We are happy to accept all gifts from our allies." Sean glanced at him casually, "Of course, except you, Uriel."

Linton, who was not welcome, went around and around, passed through several heavy doors, and finally entered the commander's office.

Carrie was already waiting there, and took a good look at him after he arrived, "It's really similar."

Linton pretended not to understand, and glanced at the crystal ball under her hand, where there was a green induction ring emitting a faint firefly.

Sean noticed his abnormality, but did not speak, turned and walked out.

Carrie turned around and walked up to Linton.

"Let's get straight to the point." Linton quickly withdrew his gaze and saluted in a gentlemanly manner, "Our first base hopes to get the support of the third base. Under this premise, what does the commander want?"

"Money." Carrie cast an appreciative look, and said cheerfully, "Cat currency, or the natural currency iridium."

"It's easy to say." Linton smiled, "The commander-in-chief vetoed the fourth base's compensation proposal, and we will provide a friendship bonus to the third base alone."

"Compared with the proposal, which one has a larger amount?"

"I'm afraid it's the former."

"Then I would prefer to reach an agreement with the fourth base."

"That may not get a penny." Linton said, "We don't intend to accept this."

"Oh?" Carrie raised her voice and looked at him in surprise, "Are you going to start a war?"

"We are not the ones who intend to start a war. You and I both know this." Linton said, "Although this choice will make the Fourth Base do what it wants, there is no way. I am a general, not a politician."

This answer obviously exceeded Carrie's expectation.She waved her hand and asked Linton to rest on the sofa, while she took two steps in the office.

"To tell the truth, Major General Linton, no one wants a war, although we often face it." Carrie said, "But rejecting the Fourth Base means that we are standing on the opposite side of it. This is not what I want to see. .”

"Your strength is not inferior to that of the Fourth Base, why are you afraid of them?" Linton said, "If we unite, the Fourth Base will not act rashly."

"This is just one of the possibilities. Another possibility is that we have friction with them first, fight each other, and consume each other. And your first base is hiding far away on the other side of the star, thinking that these two idiots will finally fight gone."

"Our first base will not break our promise." Linton stared into her eyes, "You know what we lost in the Rose Star battle."

"Because of this, no one can say whether you will regret it or not, so as to affect your future choices." Carrie sighed, "I will not risk even 1% of my base. Linton, believe you Same."

Linton looked into Carrie's eyes and nodded after a while.Jiali's attitude is very clear, the conditions of the first base are not enough for her to change her neutral position.The proposal to support the first and fourth bases at the same time is to avoid suspicion besides eating at both ends.

However, as long as the fourth base pays the final payment first, the first base can buy osmium first, and find a way to successfully wake up the last batch of soldiers.In this way, if the time comes when they have to fight, they can have a lot more fighting power.

"Now let's talk about your conditions at noon," Carrie said, "How much military assistance can the First Base provide?"

Linton withdrew his attention, turned his head and thought for a while: "How much do you want?"

"A garrison of two resource stars."

"One." Linton said, "The No. 3 resource star, the No. 2 resource star next to the fourth base, has more wars. More manpower is needed."

"You came prepared." Carrie looked at him, No. 2 resource star is an osmium ore resource star, the fourth base holds it as a treasure, and other aliens are also thinking about it.

Linton looked back at her calmly: "How?"

"Deal." Carrie raised her eyebrows, then smiled, "Congratulations, we had a very pleasant conversation. Now, I'm going to hand you over to my brother."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and went out.

Sean walked in under Linton's unexpected eyes, holding a green sphere in his hand, and then locked the door with a "click".

Linton's eyelids jumped when he saw the green ball.

It was a biometric identification component, and at this moment, there were a few golden pupae lying on this component.

"In addition to eating oleander, the golden chrysalis also likes to eat ancient uncaria. Unfortunately, the drone used by your first base to transmit information is precisely transporting ancient uncaria." Sean put the identification device On the opposite side of Linton, "We are very grateful to Mr. Fellini for using such advanced technology on drones."

Linton looked at the recognition device expressionlessly, "I don't understand what you mean."

"We copied the finger wraps, wigs, and lenses that Uriel used, and it turns out that none of these have ever touched a drone. And you don't have enough time at the flower shop to operate a second set." Sean drew his pistol and shot the black hole. The muzzle of the gun pointed at Linton, "Major General, once the machine recognizes it successfully, I will kill you immediately."

"That was really a major diplomatic accident." Linton raised his head, and with both hands under the cover of the cloak, he touched the dagger hidden by his waist.

"We will not tolerate spies." Sean pushed the golden chrysalis away and pressed the identification device button.

The green sphere fluoresced, and then scanned Linton, and the sound of the machine sounded at the same time.

[Check the operator's physical signs and appearance - the height matches, the face shape matches, the head shape matches...]

"What if you admit it wrong?" Linton showed a worried expression, "Will the Third Foundation offer compensation?"

"I personally would."

"Promise me anything?"

[...Nose type matches, blood type matches...] The machine continues to read item by item.

Linton narrowed his eyes.

【Skin color matches...】

"Yes, but it seems that you have no chance." Sean put his thumb on the trigger and said coldly.

Linton raised his eyebrows, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the wall on the right side of Sean, where there were two protrusions to cling to, but Sean's reaction speed...he turned his eyes again, and his eyes fell on the sofa...

However, just a second before his action, the green sphere suddenly made a strange noise.

[Didi—the skin texture does not match...]

……

Sean turned his head unexpectedly and looked at the machine.There is nothing unusual about the green sphere.

[Didi—Secondary sexual characteristics do not meet, repeat, secondary sexual characteristics do not meet...] The recognition device seems to be malfunctioning, and keeps prompting non-conforming options.

[In summary, the verification of physical signs failed. 】

Sean: "???"

Linton: "..." He covered the flash of surprise in his eyes, quietly put the dagger back, and looked at the machine thoughtfully.

After a long shock, Sean slowly raised his head and looked at him.

"I can't tell, the major general's taste is really... wild." Linton looked at him with a complicated expression, "Can't even Omega satisfy you?"

At this time, Sean just wanted to swear like Carrie, but obviously, whether it was a machine problem or other reasons, it was too late to study it now.

He stared at Linton, and although he was upset, he still put the pistol away.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved," Linton said, "then I can make a request."

Sean: "Say."

"Anything?" Linton asked.

"..." Sean frowned slightly because of his frivolous tone, but did not deny it.

Linton nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'm not welcome. Today is not enough time, let's go tomorrow night, you wear less..."

Sean: "..."

"...Let me secretly visit the distinguished guests of the fourth base." Linton stood up from the sofa, "I don't believe they will tell the details of the new colony."

This sudden switch to a serious topic made Sean react for a while, and when he understood, his face became even uglier.

"...You can just point it out and tell me to steal something."

"Just take a look." Linton turned and left. When he passed by Sean, he stopped and said slowly, "Besides, since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, major general please respect yourself. Let me hear again next time." You call Uriel, don't blame me for being rude."

Sean turned his face to see him smiling arrogantly on that extremely familiar face, and walked away.

A series of doors closed one by one behind them.After Linton walked out of the palace for a long time, he stopped and took a deep breath.The biting cold wind blew back and forth along the neckline, sweeping away the thin sweat just now.

Linton shook his head, then looked at the sky above Xingdian, where there were tiny stars twinkling.

"The second group is calling the major general." On the microcomputer line, there was a prompt on a special channel.

"I'm here." Linton replied, "How did it turn out?"

"As you expected, Lieutenant Rhine's actual disappearance was a month ago, which is consistent with the time you were attacked. The invisible escape boat you were on was owned by Commander Jiali. Major general, is the information shared?"

"Yes." Linton said.

Several pieces of information instantly entered Linton's consciousness.

"It is reasonable to speculate that Second Lieutenant Rhine took the initiative to replace the major general. But we cannot track his location. He is not in the three major bases." The leader of the second team said.

"Understood. Now the mission has changed. Tomorrow, the second team will leave Xingdian first and explore the two new planets of the fourth base as wanderers." Linton said, "If possible, destroy the trading point of the Lokla people."

"Understood." The leader of the second group said, "After entering space, we will reset the microcomputer, erase the base logo, and disconnect from the base until the mission is successful."

"Okay." Linton's throat tightened, "Anyway, I'll wait for you to come back."

Over the years, most of the soldiers who performed special tasks completed their tasks, but none of them survived.

"Thank you Major General for your company." After a brief silence, the consciousness of the 12 people came solemnly at the same time, "May our base last forever."
