Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 851 Expensive Luxury Products

……

after a while.

He Chou, who had withdrawn from Xin Ning and returned to the diplomatic team to deal with minor matters, had just entered the floor of the diplomatic team's office building in the naval department.

All team members stood up and saluted He Chou.

He Chou nodded to each one, took an invoice and walked to the logistics machine where the diplomatic team was stationed. He entered his ID and asked the district to reimburse the invoice.

"Reimbursement application No. 23 you submitted: I purchased a gold necklace worth star coins for the Titanium Civilization Ambassador in Tailong Commercial District No. . This reimbursement application has been submitted."

When they heard the sound of the logistics machinery, all the team members stood up and looked at the team leader in shock.

"What kind of necklace did you buy for 70,000 yuan?"

"We only spent a total of one hundred and two hundred and twenty dollars to send off the old team leader to the Ministry of Intelligence for a training meal, various gifts, and hiring the Catman Song and Dance Troupe! Five coins are enough for a family to eat and drink for a month! What necklace did you buy? Seventy thousand yuan?!”

"Go and ask." He Chou pointed to the door.

He Chou was dealing with these matters. After a moment, he suddenly thought of something and pressed a button on the desktop.

"Your reimbursement application has been received and processed by the main control intelligence, and 70,000 star coins have been remitted to the diplomatic team account." The logistics machine made a prompt sound.

These trivial matters often involve someone having a conflict with someone, and a fight in the office is recorded and reported by the logistics machine.

No matter how high the brand value is for a luxury product, spending 70,000 yuan on it is still a bit shocking.

"Such an outrageous reimbursement application will cause you to be reviewed by the star district!"

And all kinds of other trivial things.

If He Chou spent 70,000 yuan to buy a necklace as a gift, it was surprising enough, then the main control intelligence's handling of this outrageous reimbursement application made people feel like they were struck by lightning.

"Do your job." He Chou glanced at his subordinates without explaining anything.

The team members moved their eyes away from the team leader and focused on the logistics machinery.

The female team member looked at He Chou blankly.

Precious metals such as gold and silver can be synthesized directly in the star region, which makes the price of luxury goods really not high.

The team members' doubts seemed completely reasonable to He Chou.

He Chou frowned slightly: "It's strange, they are not a department of the empire... such a big matter was discussed immediately twelve years ago, how come this happened..."

"Oh." The female team member suddenly realized and shook her head vigorously, "No."

Then a female team member walked into the office and looked at He Chou blankly.

"Yeah." The female team member nodded.

At this time, He Chou raised his head and asked: "What are you talking about? Shouldn't you tell me whether the diplomatic team has recently received any news about the results of the Ether Conference?"

The female team member then turned and left.

He Chou returned to the office expressionlessly and sat down to deal with the small matters of the diplomatic team.

"The Water Clan ambassador told me the day before yesterday that the Ethers were discussing the black stone deposits. He also said that if the results of the discussion were reached, they would directly inform the star district through diplomatic channels." He Chou said without raising his head.

After what happened twelve years ago, a special communication channel was established between the sector and the Tau. The Dimensional Communication Station set up a dedicated line for Ether, who was responsible for developing the colonial world, that could only be used for two-way communication. This allowed the diplomatic team to Can directly contact the top brass of the Tau colonial forces outside Tyron's Gate.

However, after the female team member returned, He Chou got the result that he was least satisfied with.

"Team leader, our communication has been rejected."

"Rejected?"

He Chou looked confused, put down his pen and thought carefully, and then said: "The Ambassador of the Shui Clan is still on Tailong Three."

The female team member looked at He Chou.

He Chou raised his eyes, stared at the female team member for two seconds, and then hooked his fingers.

The female team member leaned down and listened. "Go and contact Ambassador Xinning and ask about the results of the Ether meeting." He Chou said in a low voice as if telling a secret.

Only then did the female team member realize what she should do and immediately went to carry out the team leader's order.

He Chou became nervous at this time and was no longer in the mood to deal with the trivial matters of the diplomatic team. He sat on the chair and kept shaking his legs, keeping his eyes on the door.

On the wall were imperial luxuries bought from the daughter of the first Rogue Trader in the sector, and an ancient hanging clock with a history of three thousand years was operating, making an orderly and subtle mechanical sound.

Then, amidst the clanging sound of the clock, the office door was pushed open.

The female team member walked into the office with a serious expression and reported: "I couldn't get in touch. Another colleague you brought went to Ambassador Xinning's room, but he couldn't find him. The Resort World hotel said that you were upset after you left. Ambassador Ning left, and they said that Ether summoned them, so they left."

"They left?!" He Chou was shocked, "Who let them leave?"

The female team members were silent.

This is not the first time Xin Ning has come to the Star District. She has been here and walked many times before.

There is no need to worry about sending it off, Xin Ning can follow the boating procedure to the Star Port, the capital of Tailong, and leave by boat.

No one stopped.

"..."

He Chou stood up from his desk in silence, rubbed his face, and felt that things were getting serious.

Xinning's leaving without saying goodbye had happened before, but it was just that Aether urged him to go back quickly to deliver luxury goods, and he left on his own.

But this time it was different.

The diplomatic team is now waiting for the Titanium's Ethereum Conference to come up with the outcome of the discussion on the Blackstone Minerals before they can proceed with the game and negotiations.

Xin Ning left, which showed that the outcome of the discussions at the Ether Conference must not be a good one. Therefore, as an important diplomat, Xin Ning was secretly informed to leave first to prevent him from encountering unexpected events in the Tyrone Star Sector.

The communication channel is disconnected, and the peace of mind leaves... these two things together can be regarded as a precursor to war.

Thinking of this, He Chou opened his nose slightly, rolled his eyes twice to think of a countermeasure, and immediately left the office and came to the rest of the diplomatic team.

The communication in the office was also heard by the team members.

"I'll contact the intelligence department to catch the ambassador!"

"I'll report it to the Admiralty!"

"..."

The diplomatic team was in panic.

Until He Chou signaled everyone to quiet down and everyone shut up, He Chou slowly said: "Take out the monitoring equipment! Xin Ning may mention the results of the Ether meeting on the way back!"

"Monitoring? They are not on Tailong 3, how can they monitor?" someone questioned.

"That gem! That 70,000-yuan necklace!" He Chou opened his dry mouth and shouted to suppress the questioning that was about to follow, "That's the monitoring equipment I ordered from the technical department of the Intelligence Ministry."

Everyone immediately started to act.

He Chou looked at the diplomatic team that was busy again and began to figure out what to do next.

If Xin Ning is heard talking about the results of the Ether meeting during the monitoring, and the results are indeed not good, then this monitoring will be presented as evidence to the higher-ups in the sector.

There is a high probability that the final sector will go to war with the Tau.

Start a war just because of a black stone deposit? This may seem like a fantasy, but in fact, the contradiction between the Star Zone and the Tau itself exists. The Tyron Gate directly limits one of the expansion directions of the Tau civilization, and many high-level fleets and armies of the Ether and Tau civilizations have their channels for obtaining meritorious service directly cut off.

It is not impossible for them to risk war.

After thinking about this, He Chou muttered to himself.

"If the Tau took the initiative to make the decision to go to war, then let the Tyron Navy teach them a lesson that will be marked on the tombstone of the species."
