The good news is that Charles Kingson didn't become secretary-general by watching people's opinions and flattering others.
The bad news is that he didn't hear Mu Su's resistance and continued to pester: "This time is different. The investigation bureau sent back information that there are signs of multiple invading civilizations... They may have united."
"They unite, they quarrel, they dissolve."
"Your Excellency Mu Su, this is an invasion and a declaration of war. We cannot hope that the enemy will collapse."
There was a knock on the door. Charles Jinson covered the phone and looked at the assistant who opened the office door: "The military has arrived. The president wants to ask you about the result."
"Tell the president I'm working hard..." Signaling the assistant to go out, Charles Jinson came to the microphone again and heard Mu Susu's perfunctory "Oh oh uh huh".
"Hey...what are you doing? No, I'm working..."
There was a faint thumping sound from the microphone, and then Mu Su's voice became clear, upright, and serious.
"Charlson, tell me the current state of the Federation."
"...Charles, Your Excellency. The Night Watch has been stationed in the Kuiper Belt to confront it, but it is speculated that there are still fish that have slipped through the net and entered the solar system and wandered in the asteroid belt. The third and fifth military regions are on their way, and the nearby No Owners Conglomerate is replacing them.
The feds searched for suspicious targets around 15 AU."
"Okay Charleson, ask your Excellency the President to dispatch two or more military districts to protect the earth and prohibit any celestial body. Hmm... the amoeba people are also on the invasion list, right? Then by the way, fire directly on any target that comes close."
"Earth? We only have eleven military districts. If you think the colonies should be protected, I think you only need to protect the asteroid belt-"
"Eleven? Then let the three military regions protect the earth."
"Uh...you should forget, Mr. Musu, there are no humans left on earth."
"I know, but you don't really think that the joint invasion of several surrounding civilizations is to compete for resources. What is there in the solar system that is worth the resources of the entire race to invade you? For the plethora of stars in the universe? Or is the environment only suitable for Homo sapiens?
Living colonies, or you smart yet stupid carbon-based creatures? Oh Lord Charleson, I want to kiss your ass hard with my boot."
Charles Kingson learned a truth from Mu Su's harsh words: there is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason.
There is always a reason for one civilization to wage war against another.
"I will inform the president of your suggestions." Although Charles Kingson did not know why the earth was worthy of sending three military districts, hundreds of warships and two million soldiers to protect it: "Otherwise, do you have any other suggestions for the Federation to survive the upcoming crisis?
Despair?"
"Despair? You know nothing about real despair..."
The voice on the other end of the phone became hoarse and low, and there was a deep fear that even Mu Su did not dare to recall too much: "Do you know the pain of being squeezed ninety times in a row..."
"Varied……"
"It feels like being fed ninety cakes in a row..."
Charles Kingson frowned and remained silent, trying to understand Mu Su's metaphor.
Click——
The door was pushed open without being knocked, and the noise and panic in the corridor entered the office. His assistant looked into the office and said anxiously: "Mr. Secretary-General, the President is urging you."
"It's like a lethal dose of drugs has been put into the black tea..."
Listening to the dreamy parallelism coming from the microphone, Charles Kingson no longer wasted time, said goodbye, hung up the communication, and hurried to the parliament hall with his assistant.
"Or you could cough and eat snow in your mouth..."
[Your communication user has been disconnected. Do you want to reconnect? YorN]
The person he confided in disappeared, and Mu Su angrily hung up the communication: "Being born in the 400s is far worse than being born in the 300s!"
"As someone born in the 300s, I agree."
Lina, who was lying on the bedside without waiting for Mu Su to help her, climbed back onto the bed: "What's going on?"
"An extraterrestrial civilization and you are cooperating to invade the Federation."
"Invasion? What does it have to do with me?"
"You are Su Daji sent to seduce King Zhou."
"Your Majesty~~~I'm here to serve you——"
Mu Su's dead fish eyes suddenly returned to being deep and sharp, as if he had predicted Lina's behavior and grabbed her hand that slipped into the quilt: "I'm tired."
Lina retracted her hand carelessly. She was almost full anyway: "Is it true that the Federation was invaded?"
"If today isn't April Fools' Day."
"No wonder those people like to hang out with big shots. The information they leak can really drive people crazy." Lina held the face of Mu Su, who was full of resistance, and kissed her gently, saying, "What? It turns out it wasn't me.
Rich woman?" lit a cigarette with a shocked expression, dialed the secretary's communication and restored the image of a proud female president: "Weier, how much liquidity do we still have in our books? 5.3 billion? Too little, all of it will be invested in military industry, and then we will be
All the stocks I hold are sold and invested, that’s right, all of them, eh? You don’t need to worry about why, just tell the directors to shut up, I don’t mind buying back the shares..."
After finishing the work of turning the intelligence into cash, Lina hung up the communication, pinched out the flickering cigarette butts with her fingernails, and got into Mu Su's arms: "Darling, after this matter is over, I will propose to you with a diamond ring as big as a football.
."
"Diamonds, a stone that can be picked out by hand, are not valuable." Mu Su said dismissively.
"You don't pay attention to the proposal!"
"I just said that diamonds are worthless. Would it be nice to propose in gold instead?" Matsumo rubbed his chin and thought. He was wearing a white wedding dress and was picked up by Princess Lina who was wearing a straight tuxedo.
Wait, is there something wrong...
"What? You want me to propose to you?" Lina shyly covered her cheeks: "I'm not ready yet..."
Mu Susu, who has no desire and no need, looked indifferent, stretched out her arms to Lina, and grabbed the game mask on the other side when she tilted her head sweetly and leaned closer.
"Eh? Aren't you going to do something?" Lina didn't expect Mu Su to play games.
"Everyone came to see me play a game. Why do I do so many realistic plots?" Musu said confidently.
"I want to play too."
"It's already started."
"Then I will be the audience. Shi Qi! Shi Qi! Empress!"
"What's up."
"I need a gaming mask!"
"By the way, turn on the AIC and there's a holographic screen."
After a while, Shi Qi came back with a game mask and turned on the AIC.

AIC's complaints were appeased by cartoons, Lu Li and Lina regained their composure by putting on game masks, and the gentle breeze blew through the fields outside the window.
Today is also a day of peace.
Only the firefly-like light flickers silently deep in the distant background radiation of the universe.
