Chapter 481: Don’t judge a person by appearance
"Boss, the Luofeng warships have been ramming the supply ship where the New Federation delegation is located, causing the ship to change shape.
"Later, Luo Feng dispatched a commando force to conduct a humanitarian rescue operation on the ship. They successfully rescued the other party's delegation and detained Senator Allison and two diplomats on the pretext of medical assistance. However, they were unable to find the whereabouts of the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, which greatly disappointed the main planning team of Luo Feng's operation.
"Right now, they are wrangling with the Guell League, which is calling on both sides to exercise restraint. Congressman Allison and the two diplomats have been cut off from external communications.
"Luofeng said that it will fully cooperate with the Guell Alliance's investigation. They also have to bear part of the responsibility for the sudden failure of the ship's control. They have also immediately conducted a comprehensive inspection of all types of warships purchased from the Sherman Empire.
“In addition, Her Highness Emilia, Deputy Minister of Finance of the Luofeng Alliance, recorded a video with great emotion, which has been sent to the interstellar network and major networks of various countries along with the collision video.
“Vice Minister Emilia said:
"It has always been the case that strong countries bully weak countries, but how can it be reasonable for weak countries to bully strong countries?
“It is not easy for the Luofeng Alliance to have the current situation, and we cherish it very much. Even if the New Federation has committed a huge crime against Luofeng, for the sake of the stable life of the people of the Luofeng Alliance, we will definitely not provoke the New Federation.
"At the same time, Luo Feng hopes to gain the Sherman Empire's understanding. The loss of control of the ship is to some extent due to the backward operating system. It does not mean that Luo Feng will stop purchasing second-hand ships generously donated by the Sherman Empire to strengthen its own national defense and the means to deal with the insect plague..."
Boss Yang listened to Lu's story with his mouth open for nearly ten minutes.
"These……"
"Emilia did it all by herself. Neither Guina nor I gave her any hints."
Lu has learned to answer quickly.
"Sure."
Yang Ming grinned:
"Although her decisions still have many flaws in terms of strategy, at least they are thoughtful and groundbreaking.
"Tell Mimili and Kolev not to come visit me for the time being, and go to Emilia as soon as possible. If there is anything, let the three of them discuss and deal with it. I want to see what surprises Emilia can give me.
"By the way, protect Allison and the two diplomats. Don't let them die on our ship. Be careful of that guy Dodomodo."
Yang Ming sighed softly.
Suddenly, I felt very emotional that Edwang had a successor.
I want to drink, smoke, sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and look at the stars, holding a glass of 1982 Happy Water in my hand, and interpret the depth .
Yang Ming glanced at the surrounding environment, shook his head and refreshed the network access terminal in front of him again.
[The Luofeng New Federation ship collision incident] has become the hottest topic at the moment.
Of course, the online world of the Sherman Empire is more exciting. On average, six to ten nobles are injured or killed every galaxy, and they have no interest in paying attention to such small political struggles abroad.
It seems that with this wave, the aristocracy must exit the stage of history in the Sherman Empire.
But in fact, Yang Ming is clearly aware that relying solely on the protests and struggles of the common people is far from enough.
…
at the same time.
In the battleship where the Luofeng Mission is located.
Emilia would look at herself in the mirror and her mind would wander to issues that had nothing to do with her individual beauty.
Several stylists were busy around her, adjusting every detail of her long dress and adding some makeup to her delicate and well-behaved face, making her more dignified and more beautiful.
"The chest is too low."
Emilia said softly.
The stylist at the side hurried forward and used her exquisite skills to move the neckline of the long skirt upwards a little.
Emilia's beautiful, fully developed figure was completely hidden and outlined by the long skirt.
"Your Highness, is there anything else that needs to be adjusted?"
"That's it," Emilia said calmly, "My appearance may attract attention, but it's the political system behind me that earns me respect. I don't need to spend too much time on these, as long as I'm not rude."
"Your Highness, the diplomatic team of the Guell Alliance will board the ship in five minutes."
"What about the three new federation officials?"
"They are all in benign comas and placed in the medical bay."
"That's good," Emilia said, "Remember to lock up the medical cabin. Judging from the reaction of the Guel Alliance before, they are not unilaterally defending the New Federation. The two countries have seen the Sherman Empire weakening and have shown some signs of competition. This is our development opportunity."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Your Highness! His Majesty sent a communication invitation!"
"Connect."
Emilia adjusted her expression and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Her thin collarbone was like a calyx, and her rosy white skin was like a ripe apple.
Communication was quickly established, and a bust appeared in front, with the surrounding guards, maids, and technicians bowing in salute at the same time.
"Okay, no more old formalities."
'Edwan' smiled cheerfully:
"How are you? My dear sister, I heard that your ship collided with a ship of the New Federation? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine, just a little frightened."
Emilia said seriously:
"Brother, this incident should arouse our attention. Our ship is suddenly out of control and is being remotely controlled. This poses a huge safety hazard."
"Don't worry, we have already sent someone to investigate. Once the investigation report comes out, we will give you a copy."
'Edwan' said seriously:
“Also, sister, the Sherman Empire’s envoys are about to arrive at the Guel Alliance. You’d better keep some distance from them. If you must contact them, remember not to anger them directly.
“The Sherman Empire is still a powerful and unchallengeable existence for us. Don’t make strategic misjudgments in the heat of the moment.
"It's fine for you to fight against the New Federation, or even attack them. This is consistent with our position and the interests of the Sherman Empire. The Sherman Empire will naturally help us bear some of the pressure, but..."
"Brother," Emilia smiled, "Don't be afraid of the Sherman Empire. This is what you often taught me when I was a child."
"Yes, that's right."
'Edwan' groaned for a few seconds:
"But I think we are not in a position to challenge them at the moment. We must be cautious and careful."
"I understand. Don't worry, brother. I will take care of the affairs here."
"I have appointed you as the special envoy of the Luofeng Alliance, and you are the full representative of the Luofeng Alliance," 'Edwang' smiled happily, "Do a good job, my sister, I am proud of you."
The communication was cut off over there.
Emilia whispered, "I'm proud of you too, brother."
"Your Highness, are we going to the hatch to greet the other delegation?"
"The first principle of diplomacy is equality," Emilia said, "Let those with similar positions and ranks to the other party go to greet them. I will be waiting on the bridge to meet them."
"As you command, Your Highness."
…
Half a galactic hour later, Yang Ming was in the room.
"boss!"
Lu sneakily popped his head out from the projection screen in front of Yang Ming and glanced towards the door:
“Her Highness Emilia is meeting with diplomats from the Guel Alliance, do you want to take a look?
"Emilia is so beautiful today.
"They can't detect my little moves!"
"Then what are you waiting for?" Boss Yang crossed his legs beside the bed and casually took a wooden cabinet with drinks and snacks on it. "Hurry up and start the live broadcast."
"Okay!"
Lu's figure disappeared, and a black square appeared in the corner of the projection screen.
When Yang Ming expanded the frame, a boat full of people appeared inside.
Emilia sat in the captain's chair on the bridge, with a long table in front of her. On her left sat the diplomats and high-ranking officers of the Guell Alliance, and on her right sat the members of the Luofeng delegation.
At first glance, Emilia looks like a beautiful mascot, seemingly just there to listen in and create some symbolic meaning.
But when the diplomat from the Guell Alliance finished speaking and Emilia opened her mouth, Yang Ming couldn't help but smile.
Here’s what the Güell League said:
"This ship collision incident has attracted great attention. The New Federation has also put tremendous pressure on us. They have sent a new delegation and fleet formation. To be honest, we dare not let these formations in, for fear that your country and the New Federation will have a small-scale bloody conflict in our airspace.
"Our Güell Union is a peace-loving, democratic and free country, and our people do not want to see the two countries go to war again.
"So, we would like to take advantage of this opportunity to meet with you to have a good chat about the nature of this incident and the safety of the three diplomats from the other side."
Emilia sighed, her eyes full of apology:
"I must apologize to the Guell Alliance. It was because of our own backward military technology that the ship was invaded by the outside world.
“We have some responsibilities that cannot be shirked.
“We express our deepest apologies and regrets for the injuries suffered by the New Federation side in this collision incident.
"As everyone knows, our Luofeng Alliance is just a regional self-strengthening organization. Before the establishment of the alliance, we were just a vassal state of the Sherman Empire. We have long been oppressed by the Sherman Empire's silver system, and the living standards of the people have always been at the lowest level in the Milky Way.
"So, we cherish the hard-won situation now. How could we deliberately provoke a superpower like the New Federation? Aren't we afraid of retaliation from the New Federation?"
"You are talking about... But now the New Federation is asking them to take over your fleet in our country..."
"We are sorry that we cannot agree to this unreasonable request."
Emilia said seriously:
“We are willing to hand over the relevant data of the ships’ navigation, and we also allow them to log on to the six battleships to investigate and collect evidence, but asking them to take over our fleet is an extremely rude request!
"If they insist on doing so, then our Fallen Wind Alliance will fight head-on against the New Federation in order to maintain our own dignity and protect the freedom and independence of our people in the Milky Way.
"Seventy-five percent of our Luofeng Alliance member countries have suffered various forms of invasion from the New Federation, including but not limited to economic, political, intelligence, and military aspects. Many countries are suffering from poverty and hunger because of the plunder of capital protected by the New Federation.
“Now that we are united, we are qualified to say no to the New Federation.
"If the New Federation is still so arrogant and reckless, and is unwilling to have a positive exchange with us in a calm manner, then we will uphold the spirit of the battle on Ilando and fight a desperate battle with the New Federation!"
Emilia's little face was full of determination.
"In addition, the Guel Alliance should be an independent and powerful country in the galaxy. Among human civilizations in the galaxy, its comprehensive national strength ranks third. I think the Guel Alliance should be able to handle this collision fairly and impartially. The New Federation does not have the confidence to boss the Guel Alliance around."
There was a subtle change in the expressions of these Güell Union officials.
They were all veterans who had experienced many battles and fully understood what the young and beautiful princess meant.
First, any unfair treatment imposed on Luofeng will be met with firm counterattack from Luofeng.
Second, Luo Feng is not afraid of the New Federation.
Third, although it was our six ships that collided with the New Federation's supply ship at the same time, the six battleships were out of control. It was a deliberate conspiracy by someone, not ours. If we said we did it on purpose, it would be bullying of a strong country over a weak country.
Fourth, if the Guell Alliance favors the New Federation in this matter, it would be a case of powerful countries joining forces to bully weak countries.
The public sentiment within the Güell League could easily lead the majority of the people to sympathize with the bullied country. There might even be large-scale demonstrations and a vote of no confidence in the prime minister's cabinet.
The alliance has its own national conditions.
"Your Highness Emilia, we have roughly understood your country's demands."
"Look, can we take the three New Federation diplomats back for treatment first? In this way, the New Federation will have no reason to embarrass you."
"well!"
Emilia sighed:
"We have already sent most of the rescued New Federation crew members back to their missions, but these three were too seriously injured. We do not recommend moving them now. After all, part of the responsibility for this incident lies with us. We were unable to perform detailed shipboard system maintenance."
"Then what do you think can be done to make these three recover as quickly as possible?"
"I'm actually a little undecided," Emilia pursed her lips, "You know, I'm just a weak girl. To be honest, this is my second time leaving Luofeng, and I'm actually very flustered right now... If my mentor, my spiritual idol, and the general I respect can appear in front of me and help me with some ideas, I can definitely think of some ways to have the best of both worlds."
"You mean..."
"General Yang Ming," Emilia's eyes lit up, "Has my teacher been wronged by you?"
"Of course not. We implemented a protection policy for him. He exudes the light of humanity."
"Well, Your Highness, let's go back and hold a meeting, report this matter to the higher-ups, and then fully communicate with the New Federation."
"Keep in touch, Your Highness... I just read your information before. The first time you left Luofeng was when you went to the Sherman Empire, right?"
"Yes, I went back to my mother's family. Something unpleasant happened."
"Understood. Goodbye. We have prepared the most upscale hotel for you in the settlement below. I hope you and your delegation can check in as soon as possible."
"Let's wait until this is over."
Emilia stood up to see them off, and the officials and officers of the Guell Alliance left quickly.
On their way back, they couldn't help but look at the middle-aged woman who had talked to Emilia at the end, asking about the first time Emilia left Luofeng.
"What happened that time? You look so strange."
"Tsk, don't you guys pay attention to the news in the Empire? That happened several years ago. At that time Her Highness Emilia had just entered puberty. She stabbed the eldest grandson of the Earl of the Sherman Empire who tried to molest her mother with a metal sword, causing a penetrating wound in the abdomen."
Several people looked at each other in surprise.
"Did we just act disrespectfully?"
"Don't worry, there is no... You can't judge a person by his appearance."
“You can’t judge a book by its cover.”
