The Last Omega

Sean didn't move, still staring at Linton.

In the tense atmosphere, the representatives who had recovered their senses looked at each other in the depression, and they did not hide their shock - this is completely incompatible with the legendary poor and backward first base!In fact, if they could, they would like to speak, but the situation in front of them was obviously a little weird.

"The third base, Carrie Sylvia." While everyone was muttering in their hearts, Carrie was wearing a blue commander's uniform and striding forward from behind.Sean's brows moved slightly. At the same time, Linton and the special forces behind him faced Carrie at the same time, with their chests straightened out, their right hands raised quickly, and their fingertips rested on the brim of their hats—a standard military salute.

With tacit cooperation without any instructions, this group of soldiers seemed to be the shadow of Linton.

Sean's pupils narrowed slightly, he glanced at the two special forces teams, and then looked away.

"The Third Base Defense Force, Major General Sean Sylvia." Sean and Carrie returned the military salute at the same time, and then rushed to the crowd to nod, "Welcome to Xingdian!"

"Is the first base already poor enough to wear old antiques?"

Orson followed behind Carrie, and it took him a long time to hold back the horror in his heart. Whether it was the pomp or the momentum of the first base, he was even more annoyed, so that he couldn't choose what to say, "Speaking of it, I'm really It's a pity for your former Alpha Defense Force."

The destroyed alpha army was the first base's wound, and everyone secretly exclaimed.Only Linton looked at Carrie blankly.

"This is the Duke of Orson White, the fourth base." Carrie resisted the urge to curse, rolled her eyes and introduced, "I just became one."

"The duke's stupidity is as eye-catching as his nose." Linton looked at Orson and said slowly, "To be honest, we are here for them."

As soon as these words were said, everyone's expressions changed.Orson's face lost all color, and he took a step back in a gaffe, looking at Linton.Linton stared at him with deep eyes, as if he was a judge in a bloody battle suit, coming from the land of ghosts and monsters to claim his life.Orson retreated again until members of the diplomatic corps came over and reminded everyone to rest on the way back.

Abel Star has sunk below the horizon, the temperature has plummeted, and the light has suddenly dimmed.

Linton and Carrie walked side by side, and at the moment before parting, Linton glanced at this.Sean finally caught the strangeness that flashed in his eyes—it wasn't a guilty conscience, but a hidden and deep fighting spirit.

That night, topics about the First Base and Major General Linton became the mainstream of the celebration communication channel.Everyone first guessed the meaning of Major General Linton's words. After all, when the celebration notice was issued, it had already indicated that the main purpose was related to trade.It was also the theme of that league celebration a decade ago.

"The last celebration designated the three major bases and the trade routes and taxation policies of our planets. I thought it would be the same this time. I didn't expect Major General Linton to mention the Battle of the Rose Star."

"Major General Linton didn't take the initiative to bring it up." Someone defended the First Base. "It was Duke White who attacked others first. Duke White's rudeness and rudeness are shocking."

"No matter what, the celebration will be held tomorrow. We'll just see the situation then."

Thinking of this, everyone calmed down.

"Is the first base really poor?" someone asked curiously, "I always thought they were simple old farmers. It turns out, my good guys, it's completely different from what I thought!"

"It's amazing. Although they are wearing military uniforms, their temperament is really noble!"

"Is it everyone's imagination that the first base is poor?"

"No, it's not." Amid everyone's speculation, an old representative said, "The First Base was really poor before."

"How poor can it be?"

"After the Battle of Rose Star, the alliance held three celebrations, but the first two bases did not participate in the first two. Because they did not have a decent spaceship." The old representative said, "The last time, their head of state finally came and took a A damaged survey ship. And you didn’t notice that no one is coming from the subsidiary planet of the First Base?”

"Why?" Someone was surprised, "Affiliated stars also have the right to vote, just go together."

"Because they were worried that the spaceship would not be able to reach the fourth base." The old representative said, "their head of state also set off with only one guard, who represented the first base with full authority. But at the same time, they were also prepared not to go back."

"..." Even if there was speculation, hearing such a thing is quite embarrassing.

That is the supreme leader of the first base.

"This head of state is too miserable."

"It's even worse in the future. In the alliance trade agreement formulated at that time, it was stipulated that the first base should pay 20% more tariffs. Because they can't provide escort for trade routes"

The old representative said, "The old head of state begged hard for many days for this, and his voice became hoarse. The old Duke White reluctantly agreed to be temporarily exempted."

"20%... If it is really collected, the first base will not be able to survive today."

Many people fell silent and speculated again: "So at this meeting, Duke White wants to restore this part of the tariff?"

-

"20% tariff, how did you come up with this figure?" Linton looked at Sean suspiciously.

Ten minutes ago, Major General Sean visited Linton, who was about to rest, and invited him to climb the Twin Towers at night.After stepping out of the sightseeing elevator, Sean brought up the matter of tariffs.It's not a secret, and Sean was only using it to open up the chatting situation, but Linton didn't expect that Linton really didn't understand.

"Since this item is proposed by the old Duke of White, I am afraid that only the White family knows it best."

Sean folded his hands behind his back and looked at Linton with interest, "Perhaps Orson and his guards would know a thing or two. If I had known earlier, you should have stayed a few more days, Uriel."

This was the first time Sean called out this name in person, and the gentle syllables came out of his tongue, which was unexpectedly sweet and smooth.

Linton's expression didn't fluctuate at all, he just stood quietly not far away.

"It's just the two of us here. Major General Linton doesn't have to play dumb." Sean stared at him deeply, "After all, we've slept together for so long, it would be foolish of you to expect me not to recognize you."

"Major General may be more stupid than I imagined." Linton wondered, "Major General Sean, who refused to marry because his lover disappeared, admitted to sleeping with another person."

"Unfortunately, that person is still you." Sean said, "I have investigated all the personnel related to you, and I believe it was an accident that Major General Linton came to me. But maybe we can talk about why you sneaked into the first Three bases."

"Who do you think I am?"

"Uriel."

"You lost your mind and went crazy." Linton said blankly, "If you are not crazy, please remember my identity and weigh your words and deeds. This has already constituted sexual harassment."

"Speaking of which, you harass me more often, right?" Sean almost laughed angrily, "You didn't have this attitude when you seduced me."

"Major General Sean, sexual harassment is a diplomatic incident. We have nothing else to do and we should go down." Linton obviously had no patience, turned and walked towards the elevator.

Sean took a step back, but when Linton walked past him, he shot suddenly, his five fingers clamped towards the opponent's throat as quickly as eagle claws, and the slender neck was close in front of him.Linton's pupils shrank sharply, and one second before his fingertips touched him, he slid into the range of Sean's arm span.

Sean's left leg retreated, and his left fist pierced from bottom to top.Linton tilted his head slightly, and touched his leg while turning around.The next second, the two stood close to each other, and Linton's pistol was pressed against Sean's forehead, and the safety catch had been released.

It was Sean's nerve gun.

An unconcealable surprise flashed in Sean's eyes.The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally, Sean gave a low laugh.

"Are you sure you can shoot before I dig out your heart?" He didn't know when he held a dagger in his right hand, and the tip of the knife was touching Linton's chest.

"You can try." Linton said, "It's just a matter of your death or my death."

"The death of a major general is a major diplomatic accident." Sean raised his eyebrows.

Linton nodded: "It may not be much more serious than sexual harassment."

Sean: "..."

Although he was certain in his heart that Linton was Uriel, Sean couldn't help being shaken by the other party's upright look at the moment. Could it be that he really admitted his mistake?

He hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly realized that if he had doubts before, he should be more sure now—only with such skill can he kill those guards silently.

But it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, the celebration will be held for a week.Linton could never quite avoid him.

"It seems that Major General Linton is not afraid of causing a war." Sean made up his mind, looked at the person in front of him leisurely, and put away the dagger.

"No, major general." Linton turned his right hand lightly, handed back the pistol, and stared into Sean's eyes at the same time, "I was born for war."

-

"In order to avoid conflicts and wars among humans, our ancestors agreed with each other to celebrate the alliance. This is a grand event. It is a great honor for me to meet you here as the convener and host of this celebration."

Carrie Sylvia looked at everyone in a silver formal dress, "Before this, we had an informal meeting, and everyone must be aware of my urination, so let me say it uncivilized In a word, since everyone is here to solve problems, let's stop fucking talking. Everyone has two buttons on the data board. As long as you press one obediently, no fucking problem will stop us from eating lunch."

There are state-of-the-art cameras in all directions of the chamber, as well as one behind each delegate, to fully record the meeting for review by participants afterward.

Carrie and Sean sat at the front of the circular conference table.Linton changed into a black uniform and sat on Carrie's right side with two guards.Opposite him was Orson White in golden robes, and two of White's brain trusters.

There is a data board in front of everyone, and as Jiali's voice falls, two buttons are displayed on the data board.

"Commander," someone in the back row raised his hand, "there is no abstention option on the data board."

"Yes, I made a little change to it." Carrie said, "In view of the fact that in previous meetings, there were always old fritters who chose to abstain, so that there was an embarrassing situation of a tie vote, so I removed that useless thing. "

"At the same time, I also optimized the parliamentary process. The first two days are the discussion stage. The third day is free discussion, and the fourth day is the final vote. Days are spent celebrating."

This is indeed different from the previous alliance event, but most of the participants this year are newcomers, so everyone doesn't care about it.

People just had questions about the voting model.

"Commander," one of the representatives raised his hand: "Although this arrangement is very convenient, not all questions can be answered with yes or no. How to solve this situation?"

Carrie frowned suspiciously: "For example?"

"Our Shaluo planet has been polluted by biological bacteria recently, and the residents' houses are seriously corroded. We hope to get your help."

"Please define the meaning of 'help'." Carrie said.

The representative froze and looked at her in bewilderment.

"Before you develop a useful brain, please be clear, it's not your parents sitting here, who the hell has time to take care of you and your little broken ball?" Carrie said, "You see your own planet If you are polluted, you can only shout what to do? Then your planet should be replaced, idiot. You should at least have your own countermeasures, ask your planet to be polluted and need financial support from the alliance, and everyone agrees. You want to get Do you agree to the directional support of a certain planet? If your planet is finished and you want to take everyone to emigrate, do you agree? You must at least bring a brain to participate in the meeting, not a useless big mouth.”

The representative of Shaluo star was stunned, his face became bloodshot, "Yes, ma'am—" He hesitated whether he should say thank you.

"Then let's go to the first round of voting." Carrie ignored him and turned to everyone, "Proposal No. 20, the fourth base, the Duke of Olson White, said that [-]% more tariffs need to be imposed on the first base as a trade route." Maintenance compensation. Do you agree?"

Even though they were mentally prepared, everyone was still stunned by the heavy questions that came up, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Can you talk?" Orson looked at Carrie and spread his hands, "I think everyone needs to know a little background knowledge."

Carrie shrugged: "I didn't gag your mouth."

"..."

Orson felt that he was about to get used to being scolded. He nodded and looked at the representatives, "Our Star Alliance, in addition to the main planets of each base, has a total of 14 colonial planets and 6 resource stars. Ten years ago, we The previous leader of the country formulated economic and trade policies and opened up dozens of shipping routes. These shipping routes have been escorted by frigates from our [-]th and [-]rd bases. The [-]st base has been conducting transactions during this period, but has not paid anything , it's not fair."

"And now, the economy of the First Base has been restored." Orson looked at Linton opposite Linton maliciously. "It can be seen from Major General Linton's elegant attire. Therefore, the First Base should use this part of the funds Make compensation."

The representatives looked at Linton one after another. Indeed, the people in the first base looked like male models, and they were well-dressed, without any appearance of poverty.

Orson sat back satisfied.

"Duke Orson is right." Under the gaze of everyone, Linton nodded, "The economy of our first base has indeed recovered partly, so it is not reasonable to only let the third and fourth bases be responsible for the route escort."

Everyone looked up in surprise.Orson was also very surprised, but he soon became beaming. This was a good start, and the first base did not dare to provoke them.However, Linton's next words made his smile froze suddenly and shattered into pieces.

"So, our first base is willing to send out the same number of frigates to participate in the defense of trade routes." Linton stopped and looked down at the crowd, "There is no need to discuss the tariff issue."

Sean observed his actions quietly, and found that the people he was looking at were the planetary representatives from the same camp as Orson in the last meeting.The few people bowed their heads without saying a word.

Sean: "..." Although this guy denied that he was Uriel, he didn't hesitate to use the information at that time.

"Do you know how many frigates will be produced!" Orson almost shouted, "Are you sure you can produce so many?"

"Could it be that the Duke of Orson is more familiar with the First Base than I am?" Linton sneered, "Don't worry, we don't have the habit of reneging on our debts. Unlike the Fourth Base, we don't pay for our food."

Orson: "..."

"Looks like we can vote." Carrie clapped her hands before Orson ran away, "Everyone, hurry up."

The voting button on the data board began to flash, apparently deliberately set to urge everyone to make a quick decision.Everyone's eyes hurt from being dazzled, and they made choices one after another.The datapad then returned to normal.

"Unanimously rejected. Very good." Carrie looked at the real-time results and read down, "Proposition No. [-]."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Linton, "Major General Linton of the First Base asked the Fourth Base to disclose the details of its colonization of two new planets."

Not long ago, the fourth base acquired two new colony stars.Outsiders thought it was the bravery of the fourth base.Only the people in the third base know that there is something tricky about it.

Sean couldn't help but look at Linton again.He obtained this information through special channels, and Linton was really merciless in using it.

The atmosphere in the conference hall, which had just been relaxed, suddenly froze again.Now not only Orson, but even several representatives of the colony planets of the fourth base stared at Linton with uneasy expressions.

"I don't think the First Base has such a right." Orson said with a cold face, "This is the internal affairs of our Fourth Base."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Sean, hoping to get the support of the third base.

"No, Duke Orson, this is not your internal affairs, because it involves the relationship between us and the Lokla people." Sean said in his hope, and smiled at him.

Orson opened his mouth wide and looked at him in disbelief.

Sean immediately suppressed his smile and said solemnly, "We humans have had more than a dozen wars with the Lokara people. The Fourth Base suddenly possessed two planets of the Lokhara people without war and open diplomacy. For this point, the Fourth Base must give a reasonable explanation, otherwise we have the right to suspect that you have betrayed the Human Alliance."
