Today he did not wear the sherva robe commonly worn by knights, which is more like casual clothes to identify class. Instead, he wore the formal uniform of the space fleet. This uniform is called "shervani" and is divided into long and short styles.
There are two types of short uniforms. For senior officers, they wear short uniforms for daily use and combat, and long ones for ceremonial occasions. Today, all Captain Plato and other senior officers wear short uniforms that are easy to move around, and Kalki is no exception. The material of this high-collar uniform is very high-end and stiff. There are exquisite collar badges on the neck and epaulettes on both sides to indicate military rank[1]. There is a row of exquisite buttons in the middle, and the lower end of the length reaches the hip. The Sherwani style of each fleet.
Similar, but the colors and details are very different.
"Ji Zhou" is elegant light cyan with embroidery of cloud patterns and animal patterns; "Hohenstaufen" is pure black with gold collar and epaulettes; "White Tiger" is intertwined with silver and light gold
The uniforms, collar badges and epaulettes are red and gold. These uniforms do not have any pockets, but are tailored to the body. Plato soldiers themselves are famous for their tallness and beauty, and they look even more handsome against the backdrop of exquisite uniforms.
This made the reception of the group of Gaia politicians of different heights, fatness and weight, and boring clothes suddenly outshined. On the side, Gaia's senior generals had been drinking and getting rich for a long time, and most of them were in bad shape. They faced Plato's high-level moment.
Dili is like a group of shelducks standing next to a group of swans.
The short "shervani" uniforms worn by Kalki and his entourage are different from the uniforms of the Space Fleet. The commanders of the Space Fleet wear stiff trousers and leather shoes, while the trousers of the knights of the Knights Fleet are similar to breeches, with
High-top black riding boots.
Of course, all of Plato's leather products are imitation leather, but they look extremely realistic. The captain's leather boots also have silver spurs, and only the grand captain can wear gold spurs.
The leader and the knights who came forward valiantly still wore the laser sword vertically on the left side of the waist in the manner of the ancient Germanic warriors. The sword in Sherwani's uniform was not in violation of the rules, but made the knights look more elegant.
Heroic and heroic.
When these tall Platonic soldiers with buns came over, all the Gaians were stunned. They were like ancient gods coming to the world. Kalki, who was at the forefront, stepped firmly and powerfully on his riding boots.
The red carpet seemed to remind the Gaians that he used the steel cavalry of the space age to make them accept the alliance under the city.
The boots that Kalki usually wears with his robes are cloth boots. Although they are comfortable and light, they are flat-soled. Now the heels of the riding boots make him look taller and majestic. The bright sunshine in the morning shines on his golden bun, which is straight and close to his body.
The uniform reflects light gold and silver light, especially the golden oak leaves on the stand-up collar and epaulettes, which are as delicate and shining as jewels. This is the military rank symbol of the leader of his knighthood.
The morning light shone from behind Plato's aircraft, and Captain Kalki, who was at the forefront, was so dazzling that many people present were deeply shocked.
"Ienottosendyouasword, butpeace."[2](I am not here to bring swords to the ground, but to bring peace)
After exchanging pleasantries with several senior Gaia officials in charge of diplomacy, Captain Kalki spoke in very standard Gaian English.
The profound knowledge he showed by quoting scriptures surprised the Gaian dignitaries present. They originally thought that Plato's military nobles knew nothing about human history, religion and humanistic values.
Then the two sides entered the Tower of Babel for talks. Kalki unconsciously looked up at the tower that had been repaired like new. Everything was shining. The chaotic C28 Airport four months ago seemed to be right in front of him. Now everything has changed.
Yes, he has changed too.
In an extremely large and spacious conference hall, the two parties sat at both ends of the large and elegant conference table, wearing special translators on their ears, and began serious talks.
Kalki was the only one of the main negotiators present who did not need to wear a translator. He clearly expressed his wishes in fluent Gaian Chinese.
"The following terms must be added to the terms previously finalized by the two parties." The leader's unhurried tone sounded very majestic, "First, permanently close 'Crema 10'; second, it is not allowed to be used anywhere.
, especially the prisoner of war management center that abuses or beats any Plato prisoner of war. Thirdly, it is not allowed to use various means such as seduction to force Plato soldiers to stay in Manxing City. Without these three clauses, I will definitely not sign!"
The Gaians on the other side became embarrassed and communicated with each other with their eyes. They realized that Captain Kalki did not have an unusually handsome face, or was just a butcher on the battlefield. He was someone who would protect his own interests to the greatest extent.
People.
"We are not the only ones who broke the original prisoner of war regulations on both sides. You should know what you did in Messier!" A young Gaia official said unceremoniously.
"If the Platons ask for additional terms, we will also make the same request." A female official who was sitting upright spoke up, "We ask your commanders of the White Tiger Knights to immediately stop executing Gaia prisoners."
At this time, everyone turned their attention to Kalki. The White Tiger Knights were already notorious for killing prisoners in Messier, and everyone knew who the supreme commander was.
"Peace treaties never have equivalence of terms," Kalki's Gaia Chinese spoke fluently and standardly, with a deliberate pause.
He unconsciously narrowed his eyes, which showed light blue in the bright light, as lonely and aggressive as a wild wolf.
"Peace is a gift, a gift from the victor. Unless the Gaia fleet can dock at Putuo Luojia, your request will have no meaning."
As soon as these words came out, the high-ranking officials and generals of Gaia present were extremely embarrassed. The peace begging for from the enemy is such an unbearable peace.

In their silence, Kalki spoke again.
"The coalition government must recognize the permanent occupation of the two space bases of Messier and Ceto by Plato's army. This is the most important point and must be written down in black and white."
His deep voice was very calm, but no Gaian dared to contradict him on the spot.
It is said that a senior official of the coalition government privately said afterward that it was Kalki's behavior that made him realize for the first time the true meaning of Prussian Prime Minister Bismarck's famous saying, "The range of truth lies within the range of a cannon."
After finishing the day's agenda, Kalki stood in the room of Military Base No. 5 and looked at the sunset over Mangxing City through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows.
The refractive index of the Gaia star's atmosphere is very special. Due to the excessive concentration of water molecules, the "Rayleigh scattering" effect is extremely strong, and red, orange, gold, and purple colors seem to be stirred and fused together by the strokes of an oil painting.
The sunset was as gorgeous as a rose blooming, reminding him of that day when he and Xuanji were on the roof——
The reason why he refused to come to Mangxing City was that there were too many memories with her here. She was here, although she was very far away, one billionth of a billion times smaller, but she was here, which made him feel uneasy.
.
He looked back at his room. He saw a cocoon-shaped bed with graceful lines, an extremely clean white mattress and pillows. The bed could change the magnetic field of the brain during sleep, so that he could have a dreamless night's sleep without tossing and turning.<
/p>
There is a deformable chair next to the bed, which can be turned into a couch, or a study chair with a small table. You can read many 3D projection books through the projection screen, of course they are all military books. Plato does not prohibit reading, but he can only read himself.
Books within the scope of his profession are basically all his furniture and equipment, and everything always has a minimalist, cold monastic atmosphere.
Just like living on a battleship, he was served by others, but his personal space was almost zero. He almost stripped down to his underwear in front of Daksha or Siddha. The two young men were busy helping him change clothes, and Siddha put away his clothes.
The leader's ceremonial uniform must be air-dry cleaned. Everything about Plato must be perfect.
And at night, his page boy, chamberlain and an armed guard on duty would open a bed capsule the size of a soap box, and a simple single bed would pop out from it. In this way, three people would squeeze into this small room.
Sleep with him.
The military collective system has always been a characteristic of Plato, and there are often four people in a room on battleships. From the first day of his birth, he was raised collectively like an assembly line with the newborns in the birth center. He never had a private living space.
A warrior lives and dies together.
Curling up on the small folding bed in the study room of Xuanji's home may be the moment when he has the most private space...
Why could he never forget the feeling of living with her? When he closed his eyes, he could think of the feeling of returning to her small high-rise apartment. When the door opened, she saw him standing in front of her, her pretty face
What an expression of surprise will appear on his face, and he will rush towards him like a child...
First love is so innocent, like a fragile dream.
Xuanji...she will try to love others in the future, just like him.
Finally got it!
Xuanji looked at the invitation sent with joy. When she was an amateur model, she also attended many cocktail parties. Usually, the electronic invitation was sent directly to the wristband, and then she swiped into the flower-filled venue.
This time it turned out to be a formal paper invitation: pure white, with a very delicate olive branch pattern, written in Gaia's official Chinese and English characters, with elegant fonts, everything looked so noble and extraordinary.<
/p>
Well, it was indeed the most advanced diplomatic reception. Xuanji held it in her hand and smelled the faint citrus fragrance on the invitation. She had to prepare well. Can she really see Kalki?
As followers of Yuanjiao, the Platons follow the strictest Arian diet, are strictly vegetarian, do not drink alcohol, smoke, or eat dairy and egg products. In a sense, they are completely isolated from the drunken Gaia upper-class drinking parties. Just imagine.
Without any animal meat, any alcoholic beverages, or even cakes and dairy products, can it still be called a "reception"?
Of course, there is always a way, especially when Gaia's upper class is extremely curious and admiring of Plato's nobles.
Yes, it’s admiration.
For four hundred years, the coalition government has been using the method of appeasing Plato's military nobles to "use barbarians to control barbarians", and is dedicated to extending the life of Gaia society. As a result, the captured Platonic nobles can easily occupy a high social ecological niche.
Although the number is not large, after four hundred years of reproduction, some good people have calculated that at least half of Gaia's upper class can trace their bloodline back to Plato. Female prisoners of war who were born as Kshatriyas can marry high-ranking officials, and men are often
If a wealthy family recruits a son-in-law, at least the second generation will be able to successfully enter Gaia's upper class society.
Although Gaia is a democratic society where everyone is equal in the constitutional sense, in fact the classes are seriously solidified. Under this super capitalist system, the upper class of Gaia has become a fertile ground for the descendants of Plato's military aristocracy.
As a result, a very ironic scene appeared. The army of Gaian civilians was massacred by Plato's army on the front line. However, as long as Plato's captured soldiers defected to the city of Zion, they could easily obtain a social status that was difficult for the civilian class to achieve by virtue of their military exploits.
In future generations, there will even be a very powerful family, such as the von Abenberg family. This is tantamount to acknowledging in disguise that the Platons are a superior race to the Gaians. No wonder the Platons massacred the Gaians.
There are still a lot of crazy fans here.
Human beings are born with a strong mentality, which is not uncommon in history.
Although the negotiations during the day stalled on Chalki's request for "hostages" from Gaia, the coalition government was unable to understand the brain circuits of the Platons who were stuck in the 5th century BC. Even some members of the Plato mission did not understand this.
Are the Platonians still afraid that the Gaians want to fight?

However, in the evening, the coalition government invited senior commanders of the three fleets and senior officials of the mission to attend a high-level cocktail party. Those tall and well-dressed diplomats spoke to the Platos with enthusiasm and humility, but no one could believe that the two sides were at war.
The enemy.
The sun is gradually disappearing in this world, but the sky is not completely dark yet.
Countless large-scale floating vehicles with privileges enjoyed by dignitaries flew towards the huge Mount Fuji-shaped building of Karuizawa Prince Hotel like crucian carp crossing the river. The special materials and design made the entire building, nearly a thousand meters high, shine in the afterglow.
It shines like a mountain of flames.
Mangxing City was originally a city of drunkenness and dreams, and high-end cocktail parties were held frequently by the upper levels, but this time it was extremely special, and the time was much earlier than ordinary cocktail parties.
Because almost all Plato people have a country bumpkin routine of going to bed before 8 o'clock, and they have already fallen asleep as soon as the general drinking party begins [3], so this drinking party for Plato's envoy is simply "the host follows the guest"
It's the best. Everything is arranged according to Platonic customs. Even the choice of Karuizawa Prince Hotel is precisely because the chef of this restaurant, Ono Jiro, is the best vegetarian chef in Manxing City.
[1]In this story, Plato’s military rank does not correspond to Gaia’s military rank, they are completely two systems.
[2] This sentence is exactly the same as Matthew 10:34 in the New Testament. In turn, Cishi worship is the root of all worship of "the Son of God incarnate".
[3] There is a time difference between Plato and Gaia, but the sleep devices on the ship have the function of reversing jet lag. When landing after a long interstellar voyage, the biological clock of the person will be automatically adjusted according to the local time. So there is no jet lag.
