Great time travel

Chapter 43, Peaceful Takeover

The deep night fell quietly on Ita Rica, the capital of the Earl of Vermar. The navy blue curtain slowly spread over the land, and the stars seemed to lull people to sleep... However, in the city of Ita Rica tonight , many people are doomed to experience a rare sleepless night.

Now... what kind of situation should this be?
Sitting in the courtyard of the lord's mansion, looking up at the giant floating ship high in the night sky from time to time, Princess Pingna couldn't help thinking with a wry smile.

At this moment, the courtyard, which was originally just a dusty rammed earth floor without even a lawn, has been arranged into a decent open-air negotiation venue.The ground was covered with a layer of tough cloth of unknown material (Oxford cloth picnic moisture-proof mat) by outsiders, and a long table moved from nowhere was placed on it, and the table was covered with snow-white linen. There were artificial flowers, teapots and pastries in wicker baskets.

As for the Mobile Suit Gundam still standing in the courtyard, it served as the background and light source of the negotiation venue - the three searchlights located on the top of the Gundam robot's head and shoulders were activated at full power, shooting three bright beams of light, covering half of the The earl's mansion was as bright as day.

Looking out from the open gate of the lord's mansion, there are more and brighter beams of dazzling light projected from the bottom of the alien battleship in the sky, slowly moving back and forth in the urban area of ​​Ita Rica, Every street and alley is illuminated brightly in turn.Many citizens were frightened by this unheard-of and unimaginable scene, and they all closed their doors tightly, hiding at home and not daring to go out.But there are also some bold children who slipped out quietly, curiously chasing the moving beam of light, running and playing in the empty and bright street.

Stop here, and turn your vision back to the open-air negotiation venue in the courtyard of the lord's mansion.At the negotiating table at this moment, the members of the empire, including: Princess Pinna, the leader of the Knights of the Rose, Princess Pinna's secretary Hamilton Ron, and the chief instructor Gray Aru who reluctantly acted as a think tank De, the local little loli lord, Earl Miu Vermar, the leader of the Yellow Rose Division, Miss Percy Go Ballesti, who was released by outsiders to spread the word, and the leader of the Red Rose Division, Shirley Pluto Baroness Tillhagan, and Baroness Pennywise Fleur Galki, captain of the White Rose Division, the current dignitaries in the entire city have already put on their best clothes and are negotiating Sitting upright at the table.

However, the negotiators of the outsiders have not arrived for a long time, making the representatives of the empire wait anxiously.

"...He hasn't come yet! This is really... so rude! You made Her Royal Highness and us wait here for so long!"

After the cold wind blew in the courtyard for a long time, the leader of the White Qiangwei branch, Penny Zhu, couldn't help but complained very dissatisfied.

Like Poses, the captain of the Yellow Rose Squad, Petunia is also a heroic and vigorous female knight wearing exquisite armor. She has short, neat chestnut-colored hair and a white headgear on the outside of the silver armor. Wearing a rapier decorated with garlands, that heroic figure, awe-inspiring expression, and sharp eyesight, she has a subtle feeling of being handsome, and the whole person exudes the so-called "sister-sama" handsomeness in shoujo manga .

If it is seen by a Japanese high school girl who likes this type of cross-dressing star, I am afraid that she will scream with joy and admiration.

However, Penny Zhu, the "sister" in military uniform, is not only good at being handsome, but also really good at beating people with a sword...

"...What can I do? The situation is stronger than people! The weak have to bear the humiliation of the strong. This is a group of guys who can fly!"

Huang Qiangwei's squad leader Bo Saisi, who was sent back by the outsiders to spread the word, said so in a decadent tone, while looking at the few outsider soldiers standing not far away... Until now, these dressed Simple and ugly green patchwork clothes, at first glance, it looks like a low-level outsider soldier.Except for using strange props (Doraemon's [Bamboo Dragonfly]) to fly down from the battleship in the sky and set up the negotiation venue by hand, they just stood there motionless.Neither did he explain anything to the owner of the mansion, nor did he intend to salute these nobles at all.

Although these arrogant and disrespectful alien soldiers don't seem to be of high status, and they don't seem to be carrying any weapons, but with this terrifying fleet hanging above their heads, no one here dared to speak Scolding them for their rudeness, I had to sit here and sulk secretly.

——Since ancient times, human society has had such a customary rule. When gathering for exchanges or negotiations, the host or the most honorable person should appear last, and let everyone wait patiently for him... On the contrary, the defeated or Those with low status must enter the arena in advance, and respectfully wait for the winner or the strong to deal with it-obviously, the empire is now directly placed in the position of the loser by the outsiders.

"...Hmph! What's so scary about flying guys? My father also joined the army to fight against the rebellious Harpy tribe..."

Captain Penny Pearl still snorted dissatisfied, but he didn't continue to mess around. He just reached out to get some food to quench the fire, but found that the rattan snack basket containing pastries on the table was unknowingly It was already half empty.And Xue Li, the leader of the Red Rose Division, this quiet and elegant guy with a dark belly inside, is holding a lot of cakes with his head down and eating happily, his mouth is full of cake crumbs...

"...Yo! We are all anxious here, but you, the dragon knight, are having a good time?"

Seeing that everyone else was in a state of ups and downs, no one cared about drinking tea and cakes, but Shirley ate it all by herself, Penny Zhu immediately sarcastically said with some displeasure, "...you don't always Said that as a descendant of a family of dragon knights, he must keep fit at all times and pay attention to his weight. Is it painful to lose weight every two days? Why do you eat so happily now? Are you afraid that you will be so fat that you will overwhelm the pterosaur? "

"...Hey, actually I don't want to eat that much, but I can't help it when there are pastries in front of me, and I subconsciously want to take a few bites."

Baroness Shirley Pluto Diluhagan, the captain of the Red Rose Division who came from a family of Dragon Knights, munched on the cookies while answering vaguely, "...not to mention, you It's not that I don't know, my pterosaur is already dead, drowned by the flood in the imperial capital..."

——Shirley Pluto Diluhagang, the captain of the Red Rose Division of the Rose Knights, was born in the Diluhagang family, which is famous for its ability to train dragons. Suitable as a dragon rider with strict weight requirements: the weight-bearing capacity of pterosaurs is incomparable with that of airplanes on earth.Even so, Shirley had to pay attention to weight control all the time, she often lost weight, and sometimes she was so hungry that she became anemic and passed out.

However, in the great flood that destroyed the imperial capital, Shirley's pterosaur mount was drowned, and the Rose Knights also lost their only air combat power-although pterosaurs can fly, if they are tied to iron chains, Locked in the dragon's nest with iron fences, it is still useless in the event of a flood.

Obviously, given the chaotic state of the empire's political situation, it would be impossible to find Shirley another pterosaur to ride in a short time.So, after crying for several days in a row, Shirley turned her grief and anger into appetite, and began to overeat all day long, as if to make up for all the various gourmet experiences that she had missed in order to control her weight, but within a few months It has already become plump, and if it continues like this, the body shape may develop horizontally.

"...In short, the pastry is for eating. If you don't do it, I'll eat it all! Ahhh!"

Shirley waved a piece of butter wafer biscuit in her hand, and announced, "...the desserts of these outsiders are really delicious..."

After hearing this, the negotiating table hadn't had time to eat well for a long time, and the other people who had been hungry for a long time finally couldn't hold back, one by one scrambling to stretch out their hands towards the snack basket, blinking like wind and clouds , Divide up the pastries served by those outsiders, and stuff them all into their stomachs... Then, they also drank the honey black tea in the stainless steel thermos teapot in one gulp.

Just as Shirley raised the empty teapot, wanting to refill the cups of the aliens who had been standing as screens, the Mobile Suit Gundam standing in the courtyard suddenly played a loud welcome song, and the alien army Negotiators finally entered the arena.

"...I'm sorry for the long wait, everyone, let's start negotiations now!" As the commander of this armed parade, Wang Qiu greeted him as he took his seat... But the representatives of the empire at the table did not agree. He couldn't care less about hearing what kind words Wang Qiu had said, but the moment he saw the other party, he was dazzled by the luxurious dresses full of upstarts showing off their wealth on the representatives of the other world ...

Generally speaking, from ancient times to modern times, the uniforms of human officers have generally experienced a process of evolution from gorgeous to ordinary.

In the "queuing and shooting" stage of the cold weapon era and the early stage of the hot weapon era, the armor of generals and commanders is usually the most conspicuous and gorgeous.

From the perspective of positive energy, they need their desperately fighting subordinates to know where they stand at any time, and they need to fight side by side to boost the morale of their subordinates.From the point of view of negative energy, those armors and dazzling accessories that have been tempered on their bodies only exist on the battlefield for the only purpose-to save their lives.The sturdy armor can effectively resist various weapons of the enemy, and the gorgeous appearance can tell the enemy: the guy in front of him is a rich man, and he can be captured alive for a rich ransom. worthless...

——The reason why many Japanese armors are so exaggerated, like the gorgeous costumes of samba dancers, is for the latter reason.

However, as the range, power and accuracy of firearms continue to increase, and the forms of warfare become more and more cruel and unscrupulous, the uniforms of officers gradually become indistinguishable from uniforms of ordinary soldiers, especially in the "sniper" After this profession appeared, it became more and more difficult to recognize a second lieutenant and an admiral at a glance on the battlefield—however, the military uniforms of the generals at the ball were as gorgeous as ever.

However, in the different world opposite the "gate", military technology is far from being developed to such an extent.The high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Farmat are still accustomed to judging a person's status by the gorgeousness of their clothes and accessories, and they never pay attention to low-key luxury, but advocate publicity and style, wishing to wear all their belongings on their bodies ——In the original book of "Fantasy Self-Defense Forces", a Japanese general was severely underestimated because he wore a sloppy combat uniform to meet the imperial envoy, and almost made a fuss...

In view of this, Wang Qiu and others said one after another: Isn't it just pretending?You can't even pretend to be aggressive in front of the natives, so what kind of time traveler are you?

Therefore, when the negotiations started, Wang Qiu changed into a special military uniform for the captain of the urban management team from another world that he had tinkered with. It was based on a white uniform for a Japanese navy officer brought over from the World War II plane, with purple and Silver embroidery, gold epaulettes and tassels.A handicraft long sword inlaid with colorful gemstones is hung on the waist. Its shape refers to the "legendary holy sword" in the anime where the brave slays the devil.His chest is covered with all kinds of medals: there are medals issued by the Chinese government in the modern world, there are also Soviet commemorative medals and Japanese commemorative medals obtained from the World War II plane, and a medal issued by the Indian government in the real world—— After all, Wang Qiu brought such a big golden cosmic monster to the Indians, and the gold produced by skinning and dismantling the bones exploded the treasury of the Indian Federation in an instant. No matter what, he should send a medal to thank him... In short, facing After looking at it in the mirror, Wang Qiu felt that with his attire, he could try to play the role of Prince Charming in a fairy tale on stage.

And Li Wei, the former Holy Knight of the Knights of the Hospital, also put on a custom-made outfit, a set of colorful and beautiful ultra-luxury full-body armor-all the edges of the armor pieces are gilded or painted , the armor pieces on the shoulders and chest are also embossed in various colors with cloisonné, the theme is small and dense flowers and grass leaves, and many flying and playing butterflies are inlaid with embossing techniques. The eagle, flanked by gilt laurel branches, is also inlaid with finely divided emeralds, rubies and sapphires, and the whole is an excellent handicraft.Coupled with the white cloak with crosses and garlands embroidered with gold thread on the back of the armor, it is really "sacred light", and the style is so high.

Commissar Guo also changed into a military uniform, and hung up his medals, medals and commemorative medals, but insisted on not agreeing to add some inexplicable decorations indiscriminately.Director Ma, who served as the "supervisor of the army", still wore his woolen winter suit, but he followed Wang Qiu's advice and inserted an extra gemstone brooch, hung a large medal on his chest, and replaced it with a gold suit. The glasses with silk frame finally have some style.

Even Ma Tong, who is always crazy, dressed up extra carefully this time.In order to wear more gold and silver jewelry on her body as reasonably as possible without appearing pretentious, she actually put on a Miao girl's embroidered colored dress and embroidered skirt with golden hazel phoenix, and then hung it full of gold and silver jewelry. The head is covered with shiny gold and silver ornaments and crystal-clear and colorful jewelry wreaths. At first glance, it becomes a shining mobile jewelry store...

——According to Ma Tong's words, their delegation is a super mix and match combination of anime-style exaggerated military uniform + Japanese-style fantasy warrior knight armor + normal military uniform + modern suit + luxurious Miao women's national costume, And full of the vulgar style of the nouveau riche... However, in the eyes of the natives of the Falmat continent, such a series of luxurious and exaggerated attires really have an awe-inspiring effect.

Then, amidst the silence of the empire, Wang Qiu took out a document and threw it on the table, announcing the final result of the negotiation in an arrogant tone: "...Before starting the talks, I need to make a statement first, respected princess Your Highness, we are not here to negotiate with you now. You are no longer the Regent of the Empire, and in fact, you do not have the equal qualifications to start diplomatic negotiations with us. So, this time, we are announcing the Earl of Vermar to you And the peaceful takeover policy of Ita Rica City, the specific terms are in this document, there is no room for change. Also, I hope to report this matter to the Senate and the Emperor of your country through your channel, and send a real A diplomatic delegation that can call the shots is here..."
