Chapter 383: Forerunner Trap
It was a cloudless morning in Mingte City. A ray of starlight shone through the curtains that had opened a gap on their own, and fell on the messy bed, causing Yang Ming to cover his eyes subconsciously.
He had already sensed that Mimili was taking a shower at the moment.
Thinking back on this crazy night last night, I still feel unsatisfied.
He was still pushed down by Starry Sky Widow.
Mimi's active response and her clumsy shyness produced a wonderful reaction, which made Yang Ming, a veteran in the love field, fall into her beautiful whirlpool and have the idea of staying with her for the rest of his life.
Unfortunately, she longs for freedom.
Yang Ming knew that Mimili just wanted to satisfy her desire for love with him, and what attracted Mimili to him was just his own powerful strength.
This is Mimili's character. It is impossible for her to fall in love with a weak human male.
Yang Ming stared at the ceiling for a while.
"Uncle," Mimilli's voice floated over.
Wrapped in a bath towel, she jumped lightly onto the bed like a civet cat. Her soft skin stimulated Yang Ming's sensory organs, making him instantly refreshed.
"You have to attend a meeting soon," Mimili reminded quickly.
"Alas," Yang Ming laughed, "I don't know how to face your father now."
"What are you afraid of?" Mimi Li lay on his chest, feeling Yang Ming's heartbeat, her fingers gently tracing the outline of Yang Ming's abdominal muscles, "I have the freedom to pursue my own lover, and my father has long stopped caring about this matter."
Yang Ming smiled with narrowed eyes and held her in his arms.
He suddenly remembered that when he was playing "The Abyss" that year, he had looked at Mimili's poster from afar.
I didn’t expect that now he has the younger and more beautiful real Mimili in his arms, and he can bully her at will... This...
A sense of vanity arises spontaneously.
"Let's get down to business first," Yang Ming whispered, "Also, Mimili, there's something I must tell you. Our relationship cannot be made public."
"I understand uncle, you don't have to worry about that."
Mimi looked up at Yang Ming, with a hint of smile on his charming face.
"Do you think I'm the kind of woman who relies on you and can only survive by relying on your protection? We are very happy, and that's enough, but you have to listen to me from now on. I want to use a helmet!"
Yang Ming shrugged: "Okay, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you."
Mimi Li puffed up her lips and frowned, complaining: "It's obviously me who should sacrifice my life."
Yang Ming cried out that his life was in danger.
If it wasn't for the upcoming official meeting with the New Federation, he really would!
Stay calm, you must stay calm.
Half an hour later.
Yang Ming changed into a brand new dress.
Mimili wore an imperial military uniform suit, which she paired with a pair of stockings and a pair of high heels instead of the standard suit. She exuded amazing charm from head to toe.
Although her body index has not changed at all, Mimi now looks like a ripe peach, with a lot more indescribable charm than before last night.
"Remember, Mimi Li, you are now a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau," Yang Ming warned, "You will appear beside me as my secretary later, and the news from last night can be directly resolved. In addition, you should pay attention to the young congressmen you will meet today."
"Don't worry, uncle."
Mimili stepped forward to straighten Yang Ming's collar, then lowered her head and kissed him gently on the ear: "My intuition is usually very sharp."
Yang Ming held her waist, then put his hands behind his back. Mimili put on her flat glasses, picked up the file bag she had prepared in advance, and her expression became meticulous.
The door opened automatically, and several secret force soldiers outside saluted at the same time. They had already changed into imperial uniforms.
"Sir!"
"Well, is everyone else ready?"
"Yes! Sir! The meeting will be held in the hotel lobby. The venue has been set up and there are many reporters sent by the New Federation."
Yang Ming laughed: "These politicians are still thinking about political show."
"Oh, Mr. Ghost, Deputy Director Hanton," Gris complained, "I thought you weren't going to attend the meeting this morning!"
"Really?" Yang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, "How's the domestic news?"
"It doesn't have much of an impact," Gris muttered. "It's the first time I've seen an idol who calls out for call girls not fall out of favor. Instead, many Empire men are discussing the femininity of New Federation girls."
“I’m not an entertainment idol.”
Yang Ming curled his lips and then introduced: "This is the strongest cyborg in Skywrath Fortress, Gris."
Gris subconsciously straightened his chest and raised his head, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
"This is a senior agent from the Military Intelligence Bureau," Yang Ming said calmly, "She was ordered to meet me here in advance and gave me a lot of first-hand information... Do you think, with her looks and figure, she still needs to do that job? Can't she just marry a billionaire and enjoy life?"
"That's right," Gris said with a smile without even glancing at Mimily, "But don't worry, Her Highness Daphne has made public comments expressing her unconditional support for the heroes of the empire."
Mimi Li raised her eyebrows slightly.
Yang Ming didn't say much and led a few people towards the elevator.
Soldiers and officials continued to join the queue on both sides. Everyone kept a serious expression, and few people would even look at Mimili.
Today's meeting is a highlight of their lives personally, and no one wants to make any mistakes.
…
As Yang Ming instructed, Grace and Mimi stopped in the elevator, and Grace blocked Mimi's figure.
The hotel lobby had completely changed compared to last night . The dense crowds of people were all media from all over the New Federation, and floating balls were filming the situation in the venue from all angles.
The officials present from the New Federation included powerful officials from the military, political, and financial sectors, as well as eight younger congressmen.
According to the common diplomatic etiquette in the Milky Way, these officials stood in a row with smiles on their faces; Yang Ming walked over with the imperial officials and shook hands with them one by one.
Both parties made invitations at the same time. Yang Ming walked side by side with the highest-ranking official on the other side, walked to the back of two rows of long tables, and sat down according to the seating order.
The surrounding floating balls suddenly slammed.
Outside the hotel, there were more protesting people than before.
After a while, the important officials on both sides sat upright, their eyes sharp and unyielding, as if they were fighting with their minds.
Yang Ming didn't speak, and no one from the empire spoke.
The huge conference hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Congressman Allison, who was sitting diagonally opposite Yang Ming, felt that this silence seemed to be a form of confrontation.
The senior official of the New Federation finally spoke up: "Everyone from the Imperial Peace Mission, you must have been exhausted from the journey. How was your rest last night?"
"Let me correct you first," an official of the Empire said calmly, "We are the investigation team for the assassination of a senior official of the Foreign Affairs Bureau. The name of our investigation team is Prayer for Peace. We are not a delegation to negotiate a ceasefire. According to the diplomatic official letter you have issued, you are obliged to cooperate with our investigation team to conduct a thorough investigation."
The senior official of the New Federation said coldly: "You are invaders. Since when will invaders be able to speak these bullying words to us in such an arrogant manner?"
A female deputy director of the Empire sneered, "Bullying? Invasion? If we really bullied you, would you still dare to speak so arrogantly here? Are we treating the loser with the attitude of a victor? If you are unwilling to cooperate, please don't waste our time! Please don't ignore this fact. It was the Empire that gave the New Federation this opportunity to come here to investigate whether the assassination case was related to you, not you who gave us the opportunity!"
"What kind of attitude is this!"
"Our attitude is normal and humble, but you guys don't understand the relationship between the active and passive, and you're trying to save face here."
"If the Empire is not sincere in negotiating, then we might as well stop here today!"
"Okay, we can go back right now. We can continue the communication in another way. The only difference is whether we sit here or the generals of the military sit here again surrounded by the fleet."
"The empire's brutal behavior has been exposed so clearly! Aren't you afraid of being condemned by other interstellar political systems?"
"Right and wrong will be judged by the public. The Empire has tolerated you for a long time. Your crazy plan to bury the insects has pushed the Empire to the brink of national destruction! The first expedition should have directly captured your Minte City!"
"Shameless! Extremely shameless!"
"Oh, cowardly politicians!"
"Try to curse again!"
"Why, the fleet can't defeat us, so you want to fight here? Our team leader is the White Phantom."
"Is there no reasonable person in your empire? You are the one who invaded us, and we are the victims! You shameless people, what purpose do you have in coming to our first planet!"
"First of all, you are shameless. Not only are you shameless, you are also mean and disgusting. You exude a nauseating smell, and your poor vocabulary carries a bit of the beauty of brainstem loss.
“Secondly, we have already told you the purpose of our coming, to pray for peace.
"The Empire doesn't like war. Everything is the result of your coercion. Now, we are here to conduct an investigation. If you can explain the matter of the liquid metal robot clearly, then this war can be stopped. If you can't explain it clearly, there is a risk that the war will continue to expand its scope of influence."
"The Empire's invincible fleet is not your capital to do whatever you want!"
"Sorry, we are invincible in the galaxy, but we still haven't forgotten what humility is."
…
Yang Ming was stunned watching.
This is completely different from the "professional" negotiation scene described by the officials on the way here.
The reporters around were also stunned. The dozen or so reporters who were sending out text reports had no idea how to describe the scene before them. In the end, they could only use words like "a fierce dispute broke out among the delegation on site."
The two sides sprayed each other for about ten minutes.
Yang Ming couldn't bear it anymore, so he opened his right hand and pointed it at the corner, with a red light flashing in his eyes.
A bottle of champagne-like beverage flew straight over and was caught by Yang Ming, who casually pulled out the cork.
Both sides of the long table fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Yang Ming in confusion.
"What are you guys doing? Why are you stopping?"
Yang Ming laughed and said, "I have never seen politicians quarreling. It's quite new."
The imperial officials immediately understood and resumed their original elegant demeanor. The female officials who had just quarreled calmly took a sip of their tea, ready for the second half at any time.
Seeing that the other party's eyes were on him, Yang Ming immediately smiled.
He said slowly:
"I am not a professional diplomat, I am just a soldier, if I said something wrong, please bear with me.
“Although this may not sound good, we did proactively offer you this opportunity. Whether you accept it or not, whether you want to use it or not, is up to you.
"By the way, I can also reveal one thing to you. The reason why this investigation team was established and the reason why the Empire tried to give you a way out was that I played a small role in promoting it.
"I have a feeling that the Zerg swarm that will affect the entire galaxy is not far away, and it .
"You high-ranking politicians in the New Federation don't deserve to die. You are hypocritical and deceitful. You sell out the interests of the country to serve your financial backers. Capital has hijacked your domestic discourse power. You don't even dare to build a unified network because it makes it easier for you to control network information. In my eyes, you really deserve to die."
The expressions of the group of new federal officials and congressmen opposite them were extremely bad.
When they quarreled with the officials of the empire, they were expressing their position angrily and maintaining the reputation of the country.
But now, the words of the 'young man ' in front of them were full of undisguised sarcasm and even direct threats, which really made them feel extremely uneasy.
"But your people are innocent."
Yang Ming laughed, his eyes fell on Councillor Allison, and he said slowly:
“I believe that the people who formulated the insect-burying plan would not be the people of the New Federation.
“The people who placed human gas bombs in my territory would not be citizens of the New Federation.
“It will not be the people of the New Federation who use the CIA to carry out long-term sabotage.
"As things have developed to this point, everyone here can be said to have some responsibility. You have already been defeated twice. Do you still want to turn the tables? You still want to use such a despicable method to portray our investigation team as a peace mission. Then what? Announce to the inside that the empire has given in?
"What you can't take back on the battlefield, you can't take back at the negotiation table. If you don't cherish this opportunity, we will leave immediately and the Empire will continue to attack. You can fight as long as you want.
“There is no such thing as too big to fail in the Milky Way. Even if there is external interference, there is no political system that cannot be destroyed.
"I have finished what I want to say. Now let me express my opinion."
There were several moments of absolute silence.
Allison immediately laughed and sighed:
“That’s true. When the war situation on the front line is unfavorable, many of our policies must be restricted. But respected Mr. White Ghost, I know that you are a hero of the empire and a powerful transformed ancient god.
“But you cannot represent this country, nor can you represent the people of this country.
“Yes, our fleet is at a disadvantage when facing the Empire due to its numbers and historical background, but we also have like-minded allies who believe in freedom and democracy and are helping us resist the Empire’s aggression.
“This is a fact that you cannot deny, and it is also the reason why we can sit here and lodge a solemn protest against you in the sacred name of our dignity and freedom.
“No matter what excuses the empire uses for its aggressive behavior, it cannot conceal the essence of its imperial hegemony.
"Your arrogant and condescending attitude is the best example of the Empire bullying the weak! You keep saying that you are in the initiative, but this war has not yet reached the point where you can completely determine the outcome! The crimes you have committed in the occupied areas are being watched and watched by the entire human civilization of the galaxy!
"The long history of the Milky Way has long shown that hegemony will eventually come to an end, and most hegemonies end in the form of self-collapse!"
"Councilman Allison, right?"
Yang Ming sneered:
"You are really good at confusing right and wrong. Wasn't the outbreak of this war caused by your assassination of the officials of the Foreign Affairs Bureau?"
"evidence!"
Allison stared at Yang Ming: "Please show me the evidence you have for my crime!"
Yang Ming said: "In the Milky Way, only the Empire and the New Federation have the ability to develop this technology. Isn't this evidence enough?"
"This is just speculation, Mr. Ghost," Allison said calmly, "It is possible that the Empire sacrificed dozens of marginal officials in order to start a war!"
"Before the assassination of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, there was a discussion about the role of the Foreign Affairs Bureau in the New Federation. Isn't this enough to prove the motive of your actions?"
Yang Ming said coldly:
"The terrorist organization you control, your CIA, directly planned the Sakaar gas bomb incident. Isn't this a sign that you are starting a new wave of panic attacks on the Empire?
"If you want to ask for evidence, I can give you evidence for both of these things!
"I have put so much evidence of your plan to bury the bug in front of you, but you can still deny it. Is the evidence really important to you?
"Didn't our investigation team come here to investigate this matter? If you continue to hinder us, won't this be another kind of indirect evidence?"
Allison was about to speak when footsteps suddenly sounded nearby.
He looked up, his expression froze for a moment, and his micro-expressions changed several times before returning to calm.
Mimili walked behind Yang Ming in high heels, lowered her head and placed a file in front of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming picked it up casually and threw it at Allison.
"Open your eyes and see for ! If the evidence is not enough, I can give you another batch."
Mimili whispered in Yang Ming's ear: "It should be him."
She stood up and walked out gracefully, leaving a beautiful back view for the reporters present.
Yang Ming licked his lips and stared at Allison with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Senator Allison," Yang Ming suddenly asked, "how is your hometown?"
Allison paused while flipping through the documents, looked up at Yang Ming, and said seriously, "Mr. Ghost, I don't know what you mean."
"Nothing, just asking casually," Yang Ming said with a smile, "After we finish our business, I think we can have a drink. I like you very much. I look down on all the politicians in the New Federation, but I find you unexpectedly pleasing to the eye. You will be the future Speaker, right?"
Allison's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he almost slammed the table and cursed.
"We need to have a meeting to discuss this."
A senior New Federation official stood up, and Allison took the document and quickly followed.
Yang Ming curled his lips slightly.
This number two isn't doing very well.
