A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

********************

......

Minister Greta chuckled, "His Highness the Crown Prince is concerned that too many starships heading to Earth might trigger defensive associations on Earth's side. Lyrnia comes here with a peaceful heart, so naturally we should avoid any offense."

This won't do. With the cunning of you human politicians, even a single diplomatic ship can be interpreted in eight hundred different ways. If our Crown Prince's fleet were to come directly, wouldn't you be secretly tormented to death?

The Alliance Director smiled and said, "Your Crown Prince is truly considerate."

Minister Greta maintained her smile, adjusting the neatly pressed lapel of her silver-gray suit as she spoke. She sat up straight, the national emblem on her silver tie clip gleaming slightly. "After all, this is Her Highness the Crown Princess's hometown, and we will show the utmost sincerity."

The old fox, a single sentence can have eight hundred meanings.

Human politicians are really difficult to deal with.

Commander-in-Chief Qi neither confirmed nor denied this.

He remained silent, simply sitting down and listening to Minister Greta and the Alliance Director exchange cryptic remarks.

As the arrival time of the Zerg Crown Prince's fleet neared Earth, people began to feel restless.

The military, the political department, those who oppose it, those who support it, those who don't want to be elected, and those who are fence-sitters—everyone has their own ideas.

But that's okay, the human heart is inherently complex.

As long as they don't cause any trouble, it doesn't matter what their ideas are.

Humanity will not turn against each other at this moment when the Zerg leader is about to arrive.

......

The temperature in the command center was maintained at 22℃, which was pleasant, but many people were sweating.

The atmosphere was slightly tense.

Six air traffic controllers simultaneously put on headsets, and the tri-frequency radar in front of them was constantly updating the dynamics of the aircraft.

"Now we will report the estimated arrival time."

After Commander-in-Chief Qi finished speaking, a clock diagram immediately popped up on the main screen.

黑色底面上白色数字从【00：30：00】开始同步倒计时，下一秒跳到【00：29：59】。

The protocol minister nervously adjusted the position of the sash.

Today marks our first real communication with the leaders of our extraterrestrial friends, symbolizing the first exchange between human civilization and extraterrestrial civilization. We must be meticulous and avoid any mistakes.

The second hand of the clock ticked away, making a regular, soft sound on the dial.

The Alliance Director then chatted casually with Minister Greta: "Minister Greta, I haven't yet inquired about the classification of cosmic civilizations. Where does your country's Crown Prince Fleet stand in the realm of cosmic civilizations?"

Minister Greta smiled.

If that's what you're asking, then we have a lot to say.

Minister Rita smiled and said, "Civilizations in this universe are divided into five levels. Level one is a planetary civilization, the native inhabitants of the local planet. Level two is a stellar civilization, marked by the construction of a Dyson sphere to capture all the energy of the stars in the local galaxy. Level three is a galactic civilization, which completely controls and utilizes all the stars in its large galaxy. Level four is a supergalactic civilization, which controls multiple galaxies. Level five is a cosmic civilization, capable of actively developing and utilizing all unclaimed areas in any region of the local universe."

Above level five, there are actually sixth and seventh levels, but those have already broken away from the scope of the local universe, transcended the realm of science, and approached theology.

Yes, it's a concept related to the multiverse. Crossing multiple universes, creation, and things like that.

It is currently unverifiable, so we will leave it aside for now.

"Although I'd like to be modest, it's true that we in Liernia are the only Level 5 civilization in this universe, and the Prince's Fleet currently has the highest level of weaponry in the universe."

Minister Greta smiled in accordance with diplomatic protocol, her eyebrows and eyes relaxing into a perfectly proportioned curve.

It's not entirely the result of hard work. The fact that the Zerg were able to become a Level 5 civilization is largely due to the incredible strength of individual female Zerg.

Exploring unexplored, unclaimed regions of the universe is an extremely dangerous activity.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing. The next second you might discover a new habitable planet and become rich, or you might suddenly collide with a horde of alien beasts, a black hole, or a cosmic turbulence.

Faced with the immense power of the universe, the power of technology is utterly insignificant.

Without the Zerg's incredible ability to physically traverse the universe, other races would have to wait at least tens of thousands of years to develop the technology necessary to explore and develop unclaimed areas of the universe at any time.

"That's truly remarkable," the Alliance Director exclaimed, clapping his hands in admiration.

Greta wasn't sure if he was up to something, but it didn't matter; the Zerg could overpower any opponent with sheer force.

The still weak humans indeed have no influence over the Zerg imperial family.

Ugh, politicians are so annoying, no matter which side they're on.

In any civilization, those in power are rarely benevolent.

LOL, who among kind-hearted people can be a politician?

The side door on the left side of the conference hall opened, and tea was served.

Today we are serving another type of tea, a green tea grown on Earth, the most famous Qingming Pre-Qingming Longjing.

Staff brought out pre-Qingming Longjing tea in porcelain cups and placed them in front of these VIPs one by one.

The inside of the teacup is decorated with the national emblem of the People's Liberation Army, making it a national gift porcelain that has been passed down since ancient times.

Commander-in-Chief Qi picked up a gilded teacup and raised it to Minister Greta: "In my capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the First Military Region of Earth, I hereby confirm to the Liernia Empire that the Liernia Peace Agreement remains in full force and effect."

Can Earth trust the diplomatic statements of the Liernia Empire?

The Crown Prince brought peace, not invasion.

"In my capacity as a diplomatic envoy of the Liernia Empire, I reiterate the binding force of this agreement." Minister Greta raised a glass with him: "Unless Earth actively harms Liernia, Liernia will not cause any harm to Earth."

We, the Liernia, are not that kind of trash race.

The two were drinking tea at the same time.

This can be considered a gentleman's agreement.

Earth's side will worry that Lyrnia is coming to invade.

But Liernia was certainly not without fear.

Once a female insect finds a mate, genetically speaking, the power of life and death rests entirely in the hands of the mate.

Lyrnia was afraid too.

Will Earthlings become a different kind of male insect after they gain control?

Anyway, both sides are now gambling on each other's conscience, trying to guard against honest people but not unscrupulous ones.

At that moment, Minister Greta heard someone from the military district commander's office snort disdainfully.

Minister Greta turned her head to look and saw a general with a serious expression turn his head away.

The Alliance Director, who was standing nearby, quickly apologized to him and drew his attention back: "Oh, I'm sorry, Minister Greta. That's General Zhao Chongshan, the father of our Minister Zhao Zheng from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. General Zhao is a rather old-fashioned man, and his mind isn't as sharp as it used to be, so please don't mind him."

?

Minister Greta, who had already turned her head back, turned her gaze back again: "Minister Zhao's father?"

Very good, we have finally found Minister Zhao's shortcomings.

Minister Zhao's father appears to be an extreme racist who is prejudiced against people of other races.

If your family doesn't support you, then marrying this man will be very troublesome, and he will be very difficult to marry.

Commander-in-Chief Qi smiled apologetically at Minister Greta: "It's not directed at you. General Zhao's temper is probably beyond changing."

It can't be changed—Minister Zhao loses points again.

Minister Greta inquired of Commander-in-Chief Qi and the Alliance Director, "Is Minister Zhao on good terms with General Zhao?"

The Alliance Director laughed and said, "If the relationship were good, Minister Zhao wouldn't be working for our Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

The military region and the alliance office are two independent agencies at the same level; one is considered part of the military headquarters, and the other is considered part of the administrative department.

Historically, there has never been much harmony between the military and the administrative departments.

General Zhao was also the most famous stubborn old man in the military.

The only son of the stubborn old military commander went to the administrative department as a minister. You can imagine how ugly the situation was back then.

"Oh, I see." That's very bad.

So, would this be considered a negative point for Minister Zhao?

The Alliance Director asked, "Is Minister Greta on good terms with our Minister Zhao?"

If there's a personal relationship, then that relationship could be explored further.

Minister Greta smiled at him and replied succinctly, "It was fine. We just had dinner together yesterday."

The worst thing you can do in a diplomatic exchange with an old fox is to avoid certain things. If you try to avoid something, he'll immediately sense the problem.

If you say it so directly, he will be caught between believing and disbelieving, and will not dare to act rashly.

Hey, I'm putting my words here. They might be just being polite, they might be sincere, or they might be something I'm trying to hide. It all depends on how you think about it and whether you dare to believe it.

Communication between administrative officials is different from communication between other departments. A single sentence can set three traps, and it's a battle of who can burn out the other's CPU first.

Yes, that's good, it's the safest language for communication.

Feel free to be suspicious all you want.
