the days before i bought the galaxy

Warren spent two hours listening to Leni Trevithick.To his surprise, this young interstellar diplomat is not an academic.She knew no less about the Clarke than Warren. She had been in correspondence with a female Clarke several years ago, and the number of her alien friends surprised Warren.

Through the conversation with Leni, Warren has a little understanding of the unique perspective of the interstellar diplomats. It is not pure pacifism, nor pure human supremacy, but is based on the principle of mutual benefit to fight for more rights and interests of earth people.Lainey's ideas inspired Warren a lot, and he finally agreed to improve the treatment of the Clarke Germans, and in the future, when the alliance's sphere of influence expanded to a certain extent, the emergence of interstellar hybrids would be encouraged.

There are a total of 31 known species of intelligent life that can produce offspring with humans, and there are more than 200 species of intelligent life that cannot produce offspring but have partnered with humans.Leni believes that these special families should be provided with a relaxed environment as much as possible, and that mixed-race children who may be born should be treated equally.

"The progress of civilization lies in the integration of each other and the competition in the process of integration. The relatively loose side in the competition can more easily assimilate the strict self-contained side. This has been proved in the past history of mankind. Racism Civilizations that strictly prohibit intermarriage with other races eventually declined without exception, and the remaining population was assimilated by other civilizations. On the contrary, those civilizations that tolerated others were preserved in the long river of history. In the process of contact with alien civilizations, if the earthlings can become a relatively relaxed party, then we can not only win the respect and friendship of other civilizations, but also obtain knowledge from them that we may not necessarily be able to obtain after thousands of years." Leni explained her philosophy in this way.

Warren felt that the exchange of knowledge between people on Earth and other civilizations was indeed as pitiful as Leni said.People on Earth insist on their own mechanical civilization, and even if they see other intelligent beings solve problems in completely different ways, they will not want to learn from each other's technology.On the contrary, the exchanges between earthlings and aliens, such as music, painting, and literature, are much more in-depth.

Compared with the total amount of trade within humans, the trade volume between humans and other civilizations is almost negligible.The people on earth neither import products from other intelligent life, nor export their own mechanical civilization to the outside world.Only some handicrafts and tourist souvenirs are the only material exchange between the two.

If the loose interstellar policy can help the alliance attract alien orders, the profits that may be brought in the future will be unparalleled.Of course, the first problem to be solved may be that currencies cannot be circulated between different civilizations, but Warren feels that as long as this kind of thing is done, he can definitely find a way to do it well.

After hours of conversation, Warren formally named Leni Trevithick the Alliance's star diplomat.After a bit of insinuation, Warren was sure that Leni didn't know about Linda's existence.Leni was adopted when she was two years old. She didn't know who her biological parents were, nor did she know that she had a twin sister.

After sending Leni away, Warren planned to ask Odin to have dinner with him, but Odin rejected him in the name of Ferret's success.Since Lan was debugging the latest shipboard mastermind, Warren had to have dinner alone, and then set off to visit the newly appointed commander of the garrison, Menggalt.

This is not the first time Montgart has come to Hongdu.He chose to live in the villa he stayed in last time, as if he didn't mind the injuries he had suffered in Hongdu in the past.

When Warren arrived at the villa, he was surprised to find Odin and Feret there.

"Because Ferret was invited to the dinner tonight, so I simply came along. You are a step late, today's dinner was made by our Commander-in-Chief!" Odin said holding a red wine glass.

Joining Montgalt's small gathering tonight included three other Guardsmen who had just graduated from the Bethel Military Academy.Menggalt hoped to celebrate the official establishment of the garrison with his four proud disciples, so he cooked the kitchen himself.The four people, including Ferret, each cooked a dish.Odin is purely for food.

Warren rubbed his nose, regretting that he hadn't made it to Montgart's dinner.He had recently met Feret for the first time since graduating from military academy.The height of the ferret half-human is not far behind that of Odin, and the appearance is completely gone from the thinness of the past, and even the mental outlook has become like a soldier.But probably because of his blood, Ferret's skin is still very white, and his round ears give people a feeling that they want to touch them.

"Don't touch Feret's ears." Odin, who saw Warren's intentions, warned in a low voice, "He has grown up, and you don't want to give him any wrong hints, do you?"

"But you did touch it just now..."

"I'm his father. It's common for father and son to touch their ears."

Warren sighed. He felt that in front of Odin, there was probably little chance to move Feret's ears and tail.

"Mongart looks like something is different," he whispered.

"After experiencing setbacks and standing up again, the temperament will change to some extent. Don't you think that Montgart's attitude is more relaxed than when he came to Hongdu last time? He is no longer a person who needs to be serious. The general under his command has calmed down, he is much calmer than before." Odin said.

"Indeed." Warren nodded.However, the enthusiasm in Montgart's bones remained unchanged, and he felt this deeply when he personally asked Montgart to be the commander-in-chief of the garrison.This man seems to be born to protect.

Warren was determined to have a good talk with Montgart as a friend.In the past, he and Montgalt knew each other because of Mirit Leslie, but now the girl who resolutely embarked on the road of revenge has long disappeared. After time has passed, Warren feels that he has a good chance of establishing a good relationship with Montgalt. friendship.Montgalt is a reliable ally, but they don't seem to have talked about anything other than business, and tonight is a good opportunity.

Warren walked towards Montgalt with a glass of wine, and the people around him quickly backed away to make room for Warren.

Warren talked to Montgart for about twenty or ten minutes, while Ferret was talking cheerfully to Odin about what he had seen at the military academy.

"So you got Principal Sieghui's pipe?" Odin couldn't help smiling.

According to the custom of Bethel Military Academy, No.1 among the graduates will receive a small gift from the principal at the graduation ceremony.Because Ferret ranked first in the comprehensive score when he graduated, this honor fell to him.

"Yeah!" Ferret nodded vigorously, "The principal said that even if you don't smoke, you can use this pipe to teach people."

"Teaching people?"

"Yes. Because all the students who graduated from the military academy can tell whose pipe it is, the principal said that if I hit them on the head with a pipe, they would not dare to fight back." Fereter's face suddenly turned red stand up.Principal Sieghui's original words were to let him use a pipe to teach Menggalt a lesson.But because Montgart was the greatest hero in his heart, he felt that this pipe would never be used on Montgart.

"Well... that's it! It's really easy to use!" Odin nodded, "I was worried that you would be bullied in the military academy, so I asked Menggalt to take care of you. Now it seems that he take good care of you..."

"General Montgalt did a lot for me," Ferret whispered.

"However, I just heard from the three of them that they received the invitation to today's dinner after me. This is really puzzling! Didn't you all prepare for today's celebration?" Odin said. Looking at Ferret thoughtfully.

"Ah! Actually... It was actually General Montgart who wanted to invite me to dinner alone. It happened that my father also invited me on the same day, so the general simply invited me along with my father. I invited three of my classmates." Although a little embarrassed, Fereter honestly told what happened.

"About you to have dinner alone! Is Montgart pursuing you?"

"Yes, yes." Ferret lowered his head, his white ears trembling, "I don't know how to answer. I have always admired him, and I don't understand how he would like me as a half-human. "

"There is nothing wrong with being half-human." Odin reached out and touched his adopted son's ear, "Although your lifespan may be shorter than Menggalt's, since he is already pursuing you, he must have considered various factors. The aftermath. Do you think Montgalt is the type to make decisions casually?"

Ferret shook his head slightly.

"You are the child I brought up with my own hands. I am proud of you. Of course you are worthy of the admiration of anyone in the world. What matters is what you think of Montgart. If it is just pure admiration and longing, then I think you should reject him decisively."

"I don't know. General Montgalt is very special to me. I would do anything for him. But as a lover, I don't know if I can satisfy him. Father, what on earth should I do?" OK?"

"Then think about it carefully! Anyway, this kind of thing is not in a hurry."

"Well, I will seriously consider it. Father..." Ferret asked cautiously, "Will you support my choice?"

"You don't need anyone's support for your choice, you just need to be responsible for yourself. But..." Odin laughed, "Of course, I will support you unconditionally."

"Thank you, Father!" said the young ferret demihuman excitedly.Odin is his only family, and the support from his family makes him feel that no matter what the outcome, he will never be alone.

Odin couldn't help showing a gratified smile on his face.The children he raised grew up, and with Montgalt in his care, Feret was able to continue growing even without him.

He glanced at Warren's back, determined to spend the last three years well.
