Now that the power of the Yetian Empire had finally been transferred from the royal family to the parliament, the conference between the Empire and the League of Lisheng that had been put on hold for a long time was now officially on the agenda.
This conference was different from the previous press conference. It wasn't just about the internal affairs of a single country, but it directly involved the two most influential countries in the galaxy.
After a discussion between the two countries, the conference was arranged to be held on a planet called "Loila" that belonged to the Empire between the Yetian Empire and the League of Lisheng. The planet wasn't large, and there weren't many people living on it. Because of its unique geographical location, the economic development of the planet was very average in order to prevent war from breaking out. The residents of Loila probably never thought that the planet they lived on would one day witness an event that was closely related to the future of the Empire and the galaxy.
Unlike the nerd on Earth who only cared about his research, Duan Hengye had a special identity. Ever since he transmigrated into the world of "Toppling Stars", reading the galactic news every day had become a habit of his.
Recently, Duan Hengye had returned to his simple life at the research institute and Amro University. Because the new mecha teaching materials were about to be completed, Duan Hengye spent more time at Amro than at the research institute.
This morning, before class, Duan Hengye opened the galactic web and browsed through the latest galactic news while leisurely eating breakfast. In fact, Duan Hengye didn't realize that as the time he spent with Meng Jinhuai increased, his passion for life itself seemed to have increased by quite a bit.
For example, Duan Hengye wouldn't eat breakfast so leisurely in the past. He would probably quickly finish his meal and then put all his energy into the follow-up work.
Ever since Duan Hengye came back from the test flight planet, he liked the sunlight even more after staying in a dark environment for so long. At this moment, the floor-to-ceiling windows in Duan Hengye's residence were half open, and the sun entered the house along with the cool morning breeze. Duan Hangye couldn't help but tighten the thin jacket he was wearing. Then, he took a sip of coffee and looked at the light screen at the side.
Recently, the discussion about the previous press conference had gradually decreased. Everyone started to pay attention to the upcoming meeting between the Yetian Empire and the League of Lisheng. It was also because of this meeting that Loyd, who had been unknown in the universe, entered the eyes of the masses.
Although Loica was small and its economy wasn't good, its natural geography and scenery were very good. As the start date of the conference approached, the Star Web began to enthusiastically report the news of Loy's transformation. Duan Hengye saw that after a period of time, the originally desolate venue had taken on a new look.
Although it wasn't as luxurious as the capital planet, and it wasn't as grand as the Nan zhuxing military, Loica was very qualified as a venue for the conference. The simple antique building was hidden in a dense green forest. In addition to being solemn and dignified, it also gave off a sense of transcendence.
From the interview, it could be seen that the residents of Loica were very much looking forward to the conference.
Duan Hengye finally finished his breakfast. The man sitting at the table watched the news for a while before he slowly reached out and pushed the plate in front of him to the side. After sensing this, the robot that had been waiting at the table came over and took away all the plates on the table.
Unlike the excited and nervous Loica, Duan Hengye wasn't very optimistic about this conference. Now that Duan Hengye had been in the world of "Toppling Stars" for a long time, the plot had gradually deviated from what he originally knew. But no matter how much the situation changed, Duan Hengye knew that the nature of the League of Lisheng wouldn't change.
Although the last conflict ended with the failure of the League of Lisheng, they definitely wouldn't easily bow down to the Empire. Combined with the "final battle" storyline in the serialization of "Toppling Stars", Duan Hengye guessed that the League of Lisheng would only make superficial concessions this time and wait for an opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Empire.
When he thought of this, Duan Hengye's mood wasn't as good as before. He stood up from the table and closed the huge floor-to-ceiling window again — even though this function could be done with an optical computer.
A few days later, under the attention of thousands of people, the conference finally began on Loica. This time, Duan Hengye didn't go to Loica with Meng Jinhuai. Instead, he stayed on Planet Duguang. Because of the time difference, the conference started at 9 PM on Planet Duguang. Duan Hengye rarely got to rest early, so he directly turned on the screen in the living room and watched the live broadcast of the news like the billions of people in the galaxy.
Loica was a planet with four distinct seasons. Right now, it was the beginning of summer where the conference was held, so the weather was exceptionally good.
This conference was very important, so the Yetian Empire and the League of Lisheng sent many reporters. A few hours before the event started, the reporters had already completed their security checks and were waiting at the entrance of the conference venue.
The natural environment on Leuka was much better than the ones in the Galaxy that had been meticulously developed by humans. The place where the conference was held was surrounded by trees that were more than ten stories tall. They blocked all the sunlight outside, only leaving spots of light on the ground.
Right now, reporters from various channels were waiting under the trees. They operated their hovering cameras and silently waited for Meng Jinhuai and the other participants to arrive.
After a while, the representative of the League of Lisheng, the chief executive of the League, was the first to arrive at the conference venue. The live broadcast showed a large white starship slowly descending from the sky. Then, the hatch opened, and a man in a smoky gray suit walked out from inside.
This person looked to be about 30 years old. He wasn't very tall, but his appearance was very elegant. Even though in the eyes of most people, the League of Lisheng was completely at a disadvantage today, the man facing the camera still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't know what he was about to face.
But how could he not know?
Duan Hengye who had read the original novel knew that these smiling tigers of the League of Lisheng were much harder to deal with than the imperial family of the past.
In fact, other than the Yetian Empire's event, the atmosphere of the other large scale events in the other countries had gradually become more relaxed. Duan Hengye guessed that today's conference should be prepared according to the current popular method in the Interstellar.
It could be seen that the atmosphere before the start of the event wasn't that "serious". When the person in charge of the League of Lisheng appeared, there were even many bold reporters who wanted to directly ask him questions. When the man heard the questions, he just waved his hand at them and walked into the building where the conference was held with a relaxed expression.
Duan Hengye casually opened the live broadcast channel with a real-time comment function. After the man disappeared from the screen, the comment section immediately became lively.
"Why is he so happy? Could it be that the League of Lisheng is confident of winning? "
"Lisheng can't win, he's just putting on an act ~"
"… This is the first time I've seen a large scale conference outside the Empire. I didn't expect the process to be so casual. By the way, is Professor Duan coming? I haven't added him on the Interstellar for a long time. "
The people in this channel weren't only from the Yetian Empire and the League of Lisheng. There were also many people from other countries in the Interstellar. For some people, the important thing about this event wasn't the future direction of the two countries, but whether they could see the famous people in the Interstellar at the same time.
Therefore, when someone mentioned Duan Hengye, many people began to gossip about him and Meng Jinhuai. For a time, the entire discussion section had a lot of … gossip that even Duan Hengye didn't know about. Although this wasn't the first time Duan Hengye saw gossip about him, this was the first time he saw such strange gossip.
Therefore, Duan Hengye, who was sitting on the sofa with a pillow, couldn't help but sit up straight. Then, he took the optical computer and looked at it.
"… My good friend is studying in Amro."
"According to the staff in Nan zhuxing."
"The people at the research institute said …"
Duan Hengye realized that among these strange "revelations", everyone around him seemed to know some "interesting" information. Regardless of whether the information was true or not, these people seemed to be telling the truth …
While Professor Duan was indulging in his own gossip, other people who were participating in the conference arrived at the venue. It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, but these people who came to the event early were all from the Li Sheng Alliance.
After a while, the prime minister of the Yetian Empire finally appeared on the screen.
The Empire Parliament had existed for many years, but before this, whether it was the parliament itself or the prime minister, they didn't have much of a presence. However, ever since the last conference, this organization that had been unconsciously ignored finally reappeared in front of everyone. The prime minister's presence also increased a lot.
Speaking of which, this was the first time the prime minister of the Yetian Empire had appeared at such an event. Just like when the president of the League of Lisheng appeared, when the Ye Tian prime minister appeared, the reporters began to loudly ask him questions.
However, the prime minister didn't leave. On the contrary, after seeing this scene, he first smiled at the camera. He then quickly walked over and answered two simple questions.
Perhaps because Duan Hengye watched a lot of news, he could now understand the hidden intentions behind some of these actions. The Yetian Empire's rulers gave people the impression that they were "mysterious" and "superior". This kind of interaction was undoubtedly trying to slowly change people's impression of them.
After seeing the appearance of the Empire General, Duan Hengye couldn't help but look at the time on his phone. There were still 20 minutes left before the official start of the conference. It seemed that other than Meng Jinhuai, the rest of the important guests had already arrived.
Sure enough, not long after the prime minister left, another black hovercraft appeared in front of everyone. This hovercraft had a huge military logo on it. It looked particularly flamboyant. Not sure if it was because they were shocked by the huge snake pattern, but when the hovercraft began to descend, some of the noisy reporters quieted down.
Suddenly, everyone began to adjust the hovercraft cameras in their hands, then pointed the camera at the hovercraft's landing location. Duan Hengye saw that after the black hovercraft landed, it stopped for a while before slowly opening the door.
Today, Meng Jinhuai didn't have any other Nan Zhuxing officials with him. The other two generals from the military didn't come with him, which was rare. After the door of the hovercraft opened, Meng Jinhuai's assistant walked out first.
Duan Hengye had seen this assistant several times before. His appearance was relatively ordinary, but the cold temperament of the Empire's military was very obvious. Sure enough, before Meng Jinhuai appeared, the appearance of this assistant in a military uniform caused the speed of the comments in the live broadcast channel to slow down.
"Wow … Who is this guy, he looks so fierce."
"I think he's Meng Jinhuai's assistant."
"People from the military all have this temperament."
After Meng Jinhuai's assistant got off the hovercraft, Duan Hengye saw that after Meng Jinhuai's assistant got off the hovercraft, he first glanced coldly at the surrounding reporters, then turned around and looked at the door of the hovercraft. Then, a black figure finally appeared on the Star Web's camera.
Meng Jinhuai was here.
Although it was the beginning of summer, Meng Jinhuai was still wearing a double-breasted black military uniform. All kinds of medals could be seen hanging in front of his chest, which were shining in different colors under the sunlight.
The branches of the tall trees tore the sunlight into pieces, and at this time, a little bit of light just happened to fall on the bridge of Meng Jinhuai's nose. Meng Jinhuai, who was attending the meeting today, had all his black hair tucked behind his ears. His facial features were very three-dimensional, and at this time, in Duan Hengye's eyes, it really felt like a digital model. This kind of appearance could be described as "handsome", but it also gave people a sense of distance.
Speaking of which, although Duan Hengye often watched the news, he did not see much content about Meng Jinhuai. So at this time, the Meng Jinhuai in the live broadcast was unfamiliar to Duan Hengye. When the other party looked directly into the camera, Duan Hengye felt a sense of panic, as if he was prey.
So this is how people see Meng Jinhuai … As a family member, Duan Hengye thought after the panic disappeared.
The scene was completely different from when the other people appeared. When they saw Meng Jinhuai walk out of the hovercraft, the reporters all quieted down. No one asked Meng Jinhuai questions loudly like before.
Today's event was a joint meeting between the Yetian Empire's parliament and the Alliance, so many of the reporters present had never worked with the military before. Today was the first time they saw Meng Jinhuai. Although they had more or less heard about Meng Jinhuai's powerful aura from people in the industry who had interviewed him before. But now, when they saw the marshal with their own eyes, they had an intuitive impression of this point.
It wasn't just the reporters present. The netizens on the Star Web knew that their comments would not be seen by Meng Jinhuai, but Duan Hengye realized that from the moment the marshal appeared in front of the camera, even the originally lively comments section consciously remained silent.
When the live broadcast reached this point, Duan Hengye slowly hugged his pillow and leaned against the leather back of the sofa. Duan Hengye's change in attitude and perspective allowed him to observe from a different angle. At this time, he realized that the people he was familiar with seemed to have become strangers.
But … in any case, Meng Jinhuai's charm was still as great as ever.
After all the guests entered the venue, the live broadcast of the conference was temporarily switched from the live broadcast to the Star Web media studio. Just as the reporters at the scene were switching filming locations, the host in the studio also began to introduce and analyze this event.
After hearing this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel a little bored, but he didn't turn off the news. Instead, he continued to watch it.
At the same time, Meng Jinhuai, who walked into the house, was led by the staff to the lounge next to the conference room where this event was held. Before the start of the meeting, they would wait here.
After seeing Meng Jinhuai enter the room, the other Empire staff members who came here with him immediately stood up from their chairs. Seeing this, the prime minister was the first to walk over, then shook hands with Meng Jinhuai and greeted him.
After greeting the camera, Meng Jinhuai sat down very naturally, then began to discuss with them the information to be used in the conference later.
In fact, there were many people in the galaxy who were curious about how the relationship between the military and the parliament would be like after the previous press conference and the change in the distribution of power in the empire. After all, everyone could see that the military, which was Nan Zhuxing, still had the greatest power in the Empire. What about the parliament that was just promoted?
Are they willing to be suppressed by Nan Zhuxing, or do they secretly have the intention of taking over Nan Zhuxing?
People who were curious about this matter believed that the answer would be found in the relationship between Meng Jinhuai and the prime minister of the Empire.
However, if someone was here now, they would be disappointed. There was no superior-subordinate relationship between Meng Jinhuai and the prime minister. Instead, it was more like a senior and a junior in school.
Meng Jinhuai took off his heavy military jacket and hung it behind his chair. Then, he sat down in the lounge and chatted with the others about the meeting later. The atmosphere was very … relaxed.
At this moment, the reporters in charge of filming this event also arrived at the scene one after another. Duan Hengye saw that the live broadcast once again returned to the scene of the conference from the studio.
The advance notice of this important conference in the Star Web wasn't very detailed. Although Duan Hengye saw the progress of the conference from Nan Zhuxing's military in advance, he didn't see the live broadcast of this event on the Star Web.
Therefore, like the majority of netizens who were watching the live broadcast, Duan Hengye also found out that today's conference wasn't held in private. It was directly broadcasted to the entire Star Web.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel a little refreshed. After all, in his impression, the Yetian Empire has always been a "low-key" and "mysterious" empire. Now, after the big shock of the upper class of the Empire, the Yetian Empire, like other countries in the Star Web, put national affairs in such a transparent place.
Through the live broadcast, a huge round wooden table was placed in the center of the conference room. Duan Hengye couldn't be more familiar with the shape of this table. It's exactly the same as the conference tables on Earth. After a while, the participants of the League of Lisheng were led to one side of the wooden table by the staff here. At this time, the other side of the table was empty.
For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Half of the table was filled, but no one spoke. After a while, the door on the other side of the conference room was pushed open from the outside. Under the lead of a staff member in a gray suit, Meng Jinhuai and the Yetian Empire's Prime Minister appeared together.
Seeing the people from the Yetian Empire arrive, the League of Lisheng president also stood up from his seat and quickly walked towards Meng Jinhuai and the others.
"Marshal, good morning." The League of Lisheng president reached out his hand and wanted to shake Meng Jinhuai's hand. He didn't notice it when he was far away, but now that he got closer, he saw that Meng Jinhuai was actually so much taller than the other party.
Although the Yetian Empire's model had many shortcomings, it was undeniable that the nobles who were raised according to the Empire's culture did indeed have a temperament that ordinary people didn't have.
Duan Hengye didn't notice it before, but now he noticed that Meng Jinhuai was actually wearing a black glove. When he saw that the other party wanted to shake his hand, the Marshal first smiled slowly at him, then slowly took off the glove. Meng Jinhuai's movements were a little too elegant. In fact, according to the rules of the Star Web, as the Empire's Marshal, he was a level lower than the League's president. But for some reason, at this time, the two of them actually felt like they were superior and subordinate …
It must be known that today was an important meeting between the two largest countries in the Star Web. The meeting hadn't even started yet, but with just a handshake, people could already predict the outcome in their hearts …
"Hello." Meng Jinhuai said with a smile. He had a sense of confidence that everything was in his hands.
