"We have accepted the first batch of released prisoners, and I would like to express my deep gratitude to Lightyear for his sincerity. I am here to confirm the time and place of the second negotiation, as well as some of the things that need to be determined in this negotiation.

Detailed terms. If everything goes well, we hope to finalize the first supplementary agreement in this negotiation..." Hathaway said calmly.

Lin Xi nodded and said, "You can send the draft agreement to me first, and I will forward it to Jun Gui."

Hathaway nodded and looked into the distance. As far as the eye could see, groups of federal prisoners of war were getting off the ark, some were walking towards the temporary barracks, and some were walking out of the temporary camp.

Change to the newly built camp. Farther away, a large number of soldiers are building a new camp. Countless building materials have been moved from the Ark and slowly turned into barracks.

"Are these the second batch of prisoners of war to be handed over?" Hathaway asked.

Lin Xi replied: "Yes, 100,000 people in total."

"Can I go see their residence and living environment?"

"certainly."

Lin Xi led the way, and the little princess followed her to the nearest camp. Li Xinyi walked beside Lin Xi.

From beginning to end, none of the three girls shook hands.

Whether a camp is big or small, the barracks all have airtight doors. You can take off your armor inside and still have basic comfort. But after all, this is a prison cell, so every room is full of airtight doors.

There are three floors of large bunk beds, with an upper, middle and lower floor. There is a walkway outside the bunk, which can accommodate two people side by side. For the general living environment, you can refer to the submarines of the home planet era, and it must be the submarine of the northern giant bear.

However, the little princess had been a prisoner before, and it was not called light years back then. Although she had never enjoyed the real life of a prisoner, she did not miss the kind of life where three people could be crammed into one square meter.

In such a prison cell, no matter how strong two muscles meet, they have to adapt to each other and eventually become a flat surface.

Compared with then, these federal prisoners of war are living a paradise-like life now.

However, the little princess raised questions as usual, believing that Lightyear did not give the prisoners of war enough treatment and respect in accordance with humanism. To be more precise, it should be at least a double room, and the officers must have a single room. Each meal should have no less than six appetizers and no more than three entrees.

There are less than eight dishes, an unlimited supply of fruit sweets, and more than one hour of free time every day. Facilities such as a gym, entertainment room, and even a swimming pool are also provided. In addition, afternoon tea and late-night snacks are also essential.

The little princess was asking for an exorbitant price, but Lin Xi was not an economical person. It immediately became clear that the little princess's ass-spanking was not a fluke.

"These requirements are very reasonable, and we can and should meet them. However, according to usual practice, after the armistice agreement is signed and before the ransom is received, we have the right to collect necessary living expenses. First of all, these barracks are one-time.

It was specially built for prisoners of war and will be scrapped after the handover is completed. But don't worry, these building materials are very cheap, the cost per square meter is only 150,000..."

"In terms of meals, we can configure 9 appetizers, 21 main courses, and more than 50 kinds of fruit desserts. We will order a limited edition food making machine from Deep Space Food to serve you. Of course, a small fee will be charged, per calorie.

You only need to pay 50 yuan..."

…

"Finally, every 50 people can have a swimming pool, built entirely according to five-star standards. Of course, water is a scarce resource on Planet 4, and we will only charge a cost price of 99.99 yuan per gram..."

In this way, the two people chatted happily all the way, and saw the barracks, armor warehouse, restaurant and various ancillary facilities. It took more than an hour just to look at one camp. Next, it was time to go see

Look at the construction site where the prisoners of war worked.

Moderate labor for prisoners of war is allowed and is a historical practice. From ancient times to the present, many prisoner of war camps have been built by the prisoners themselves. The same is true for this batch of prisoners of war who are about to be released. They will have a standard working time of 4 hours a day.

Of course, it is impossible to assign them any confidential or complicated work. The most they do is leveling the land and assembling barracks.

Hathaway's reason was to see if the prisoners of war had been mistreated. This was a legitimate request in name, but Li Xinyi believed that she was just here to inform the time and content of the second negotiation, and she could leave once the news was delivered.

The girl quietly sent a message to Lin Xi: "She just doesn't want to leave!"

"Let her." Lin Xi replied.

The girl was angry, but then she remembered that Chu Jungui was thousands of kilometers away, and the little fairy would not see anyone even if she stayed there for another day. Naturally, she would never tell Chu Jungui that the little princess was here.

I don’t know why, but since the little princess pulled Chu Jungui to say a few words after the last negotiation, Li Xinyi felt unspeakably awkward all over her body when she saw her.

But thinking that her trip was in vain, the girl felt inexplicably happy. Then at this moment, she heard Lin Xi ask: "It seems that you and Jun Gui are very familiar with each other. Will your cooperation be very close in the future?"

Finally entering the critical link... Li Xinyi immediately pricked up her ears.

Hathaway's expression remained normal, as if it was an ordinary question, and then the corners of her mouth curved up slightly before she spoke. Suddenly her expression changed, and she turned her head to look at the distant sky.

Lin Xi and Li Xinyi also looked in that direction at the same time.

A small black dot appeared in the sky, approaching at a very high speed. In a blink of an eye, it was clear that it was a fighter plane. It was still far away, and the fighter plane suddenly turned over, pointing its tail towards the front, and then the thrust of the engine became a powerful brake.

, the speed dropped sharply, then drew an arc, roared down, and slammed hard on the tarmac of the base.

Such violent movements shocked hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war.

The fighter plane landed too hard, and it bounced twice before it landed safely. All the prisoners of war who saw this scene subconsciously asked the question, are the people inside the fighter plane still alive?

Suddenly there was a loud sound, and one of the fighter plane's engines separated from the body and fell to the ground. Then there were two more bangs, and two small explosions occurred in the body of the aircraft, ejecting several parts.

At this time, the cabin cover slowly opened, and Chu Jungui jumped out.

Hathaway's eyes lit up, and she took the initiative to greet her, saying, "You're here!"

Before Chu Jungui could speak, Li Xinyi asked, "Why are you here?"

In an instant, all major components started working at full speed. In the end, tactical deception prevailed. Chu Jun returned and said, "I want to confirm one last time to see if anyone is willing to stay and work for Lightyear."

The girl said angrily: "I've confirmed it three times! Humph, I just want to defraud cheap labor."

Chu Jungui smiled and said: "The war has just ceased, and money is needed for everything. It is always good to save some."

After talking to the girl, he nodded to Lin Xi, and then he looked at Hathaway. Hathaway looked calm, told the purpose of coming here, and then sent another draft of the supplementary agreement to Chu Jungui, and then said

: "Can you walk with me?"

She asked like this, and there was no reason to refuse Chu Jun's return. So the two of them separated from Lin Xi and the girl and walked in the camp.

The girl wanted to go straight to the monitoring center, but Lin Xi grabbed her and took her to the office building. As soon as she entered the office, Lin Xi gave the girl a list of prisoners of war and asked her to make a final check.

The girl opened it with a grimace and found that there were more than 10,000 names in the list.

Looking at the base filled with prisoners of war, Hathaway said: "I could only briefly explain it during the last negotiation. Now that I have some time, I can talk to you in detail about the operating mechanism of the federation."

Chu Jungui nodded, "I'm listening."

"Our system has evolved over thousands of years, but its essence has not changed much from its original design. In normal times, it can be said that the country is governed by elites, so decision-making will become very rational, profit-seeking, utilitarian and pragmatic.

Sometimes I will take the initiative to pursue some noble behaviors.”

Chu Jungui once worked hard on the federal political system. In fact, after thousands of years of mutual learning and struggle, the federal and dynastic systems are not much different. There is no fundamental difference between the presidential parliament and the cabinet parliament under the constitutional monarchy. They are nothing more than rights.

The divisions and restrictions are slightly different. In fact, the more factors that separate dynasties and federations are culture.

As for the community, it is a hodgepodge with everything in it.

Hathaway continued: "Many people believe that strength is the only language that the Federation understands. This is true in most cases. But these are no longer normal times. As the war progresses, people's anger is rising.

With savings, the voice against the war is becoming smaller and smaller. The people of the Federation are not afraid of sacrifice or death, just like the people of the dynasty. It’s just that in traditional philosophy, we like to use money to solve problems instead of using the lives of soldiers.

.But if one day we have to make sacrifices, we will be fearless. At that time, anyone who dares to resist the war will be torn apart by the raging public opinion."

"Like it was over 1,000 years ago?"

"Yes, at that time the Federation was attacked and all the people broke out. The only person who voted against the declaration of war ended miserably. Most of the time in the past, what people saw was just a somewhat chaotic and often contradictory

The utilitarian federation has forgotten what we would become in a total war."

Chu Jungui nodded.

Hathaway stopped and said: "I am not threatening you, I am just stating a fact. Because I think this war is meaningless at all. If it continues, it will enter a truly uncontrollable state. A total war will not benefit anyone.

The good thing is that what you want to achieve is now available at the negotiating table."

"You mean the longitudinal line?"

Hathaway nodded, sighed, and said: "Yes, the war over there is escalating infinitely. I don't even understand what the dynasty wants. That's why I want you to make a big concession on the ransom issue and don't irritate me."

Domestic people. This amount of money is not important to you, but our people will be very sensitive to this number. Crassus is already preparing to make concessions in other places to completely end the war here. If it continues to be delayed, if it is manipulated,

The war on the other side of the line has escalated in an all-round way, and we can't stop it even if we want. At that time, no one in the Federation dared to call a truce."

Chu Jungui thought for a moment and nodded slowly. Until now, Chu Jungui still doesn't understand why the dynasty is so determined to promote the war and destroy the Federation? But before humans entered the Star Sea Age, in many cases, the territory and the destruction of the country were no longer a big country.
