Just when Mint wanted to ask about the "Eight-winged Angel", Yuan Yu suddenly clicked on the control panel a few times, and said cheerfully, "We are here."

The transparency of the bulkheads around the lounge has reached more than 90%. Mint looked out and was surprised to find that they had come around a planet.If he hadn't seen through the lingering atmosphere that the planet's land was indeed different from pearls and jade, he would have thought that he had returned to the starting point of the journey.But where is this?Mint tried hard to recall the appearances of the various colonial planets he had learned in middle school geography class, but found that the appearances of those planets in his memory were almost the same, and he couldn't tell the difference at all.

"This is Qiandao, a planet with a large ocean area and scattered land." Yuan Yu answered the question in his mind, "At the same time, Qiandao is the only planet that has not yet been unified. There are four major national alliances on this planet. , sometimes they fight. But to be honest, their fighting is really boring and I don’t recommend watching it.”

"What are we doing here?" Mint asked a crucial question.

"The reason why we are here is because I have agreed to negotiate with the military of 'TAWEL', the second largest alliance in the Thousand Islands." Yuan Yu replied relaxedly, adding, "You probably don't know that Tawel , this word is the abbreviation of the first five leading countries of the alliance, sorted according to the national strength at that time. The Tavel Alliance has great ambitions, and they have been in a cold war with the largest alliance of the Thousand Islands, the 'Thousand Islands Confederation' for a long time."

"They want to monopolize Qiandao?" Mint asked casually.The answer seemed obvious to him.

However, Yuan Yu shook his head and said, "It's not Qiandao—what is there to contend for? This planet has very few heavy elements, which is not good for the industrial development of the four alliances. In fact, Tavel wants to monopolize the same galaxy The right to develop another habitable planet, so they want to obtain the fleet's interstellar navigation technology to improve their ability to transport people to new planets. You must know that it is always relatively slow to send outstanding talents to the planet to multiply and build, and the The ready-made capital and labor can be used to gain an advantage in the initial competition.”

"Then... will you give them the technology?" Mint asked with some concern.He couldn't help but feel pity for those Tavel's base class people. Originally, they had the opportunity to go to the new planet to squeeze into the top class through competition. However, if Tavel had the ability to transport a large amount of ready-made labor to the new planet, that would be It means that no matter who is sent to the new planet, they can only continue to live the life of the foundation class, and their descendants can still only be the foundation class.

"From the principle of internationalism, we have no reason to refuse technical exchanges." Yuan Yu said softly, "But from the more fundamental principle of scientific socialism, what we do must be in the interests of the vast majority of people , that is, the interests of the proletariat—that is, what you call the 'base class' now. Since the committee has entrusted this decision to me, I have to seriously evaluate the sincerity of the Tavel Alliance. "

Her remarks are obviously completely different from the various views emphasized by the Jade Planet Alliance.I don't know what the alliances of other planetary countries say, at least the Jade Alliance has always emphasized the need to work hard to build a better Jade, and has never distinguished the apex class from the base class.Mint has always thought that both the base class and the pinnacle class on a planet or in a national alliance should be a nation and a whole. This is the first time I have heard of someone specifically mentioning the interests of the base class.

However, Mint didn't want to doubt the mainstream views of the Pearl and Jade Alliance. On the contrary, he felt that it was a collectivist spirit to be proud of.He felt that at least on this point, the people of the planetary country can be more enlightened and dedicated than the people of the fleet.The people of the planetary country, even the base class, can let go of the envy of the apex class for the benefit of the national alliance and the nation as a whole, and work hard for the collective benefit, making Mint suddenly feel like living on a colonial planet There's nothing wrong with that either.

Mint thought that although they are not as advanced as the fleet, they have the spirit of unity and dedication.Unity among classes, races, and genders can be a powerful force.And the top class also deeply sympathizes with the base class, they are not bad people themselves, they just become the top ten thousand because of their own luck or the luck of their ancestors, in fact, they are the same as the base class, just There is no difference like Group A and Group B, men and women.

Moreover, Mint remembered that Mr. Mukai, the top class who owned their tourist station a week ago, also visited the tourist station. Instead of giving red envelopes to the employees of the tourist station, he gave each of them a new wristwatch. bring.That wristband may not be as much as the bonuses given to employees by tourist stations every year, but it satisfies their desire for high-tech products and following trends.If Mr. Mukai only gave bonuses, many people, including Mint, would definitely send the money home without improving their own lives, but if it was a wristband, they could keep it for themselves and feel the real joy of life.At least on this point, Mint feels that their top class is still very good to the base class. Even those employees who have a bad record of being lazy and have a bad record still give wristbands. They should know how to be grateful, right?

Thinking of this, Mint suddenly felt that his previous thoughts of only caring about the interests of the base class were too shallow.Tavel competed with other alliances for the right to develop new planets for the benefit of the alliance as a whole, but his first reaction was that the way of competition might harm the self-interest of the base class who wanted to become the apex class.What if it becomes the top class?They are also Tavel people. The top class will also have the troubles of the top class, and the top class will also work hard for the benefit of the alliance.So he felt that Tavel's military was very foresighted, and that the cooperation with the fleet was also for the benefit of the fleet. Mint felt that Yuan Yu should agree to them.

But at first glance, Yuan Yu was not the kind of person who would influence her decision based on the words of someone who had nothing to do with her, besides, she still had the heavy responsibility of that "committee".Mint can't force the citizens of the fleet to have the dedication of the Planetary Alliance, and he doesn't want to tell her that the base class disdains the fact that the fleet seeks self-interest for those base classes—if he says that, I'm afraid Yuan Yu will feel very upset No matter how unhappy she is to him, no matter how funny and gentle she looks, Mint has not forgotten that she is an A girl who can break his neck with one hand.

Naturally, Yuan Yu couldn't notice these mental activities of Mint, and just operated the spaceship on the control panel to park at the military space station of the Tavel Alliance on the Thousand Islands as usual.For this kind of routine take-off and landing operation, she doesn't need to enter the cab at all, just leave it to the "crow"'s intelligent operating system.
