Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

On that special merchant ship in the port of the Kingdom of Aalborg.

Wind Chime paced back and forth on the deck.

“I didn’t see you being this nervous when I watched you negotiate before.”

"I thought you really had such a strong heart." Xia Xiaoman teased, looking at the wind chimes in front of her, who were completely different from before.

Fengling stood there, covering her forehead: "Stop teasing me."

You know, for someone like me, this kind of opportunity might only come once in a lifetime.

If I don't seize this opportunity, I might regret it for the rest of my life.

"I was completely faking it in front of the Third Prince; I almost gave myself away several times."

Xia Xiaoman looked at the wind chimes in front of her, which were completely unpretentious.

She said with a smile, "This kind of emotional state is very normal; everyone will have a first time like this."

To be honest, for your first task like this, your performance is already quite good.

You have surpassed many people.

“But the process is never the most important thing; what people value more is the result.” Wind Chime looked towards the port shore of the Kingdom of Aalborg.

"If that third prince cannot give me a satisfactory answer."

Then my grade this time is failing.

Xia Xiaoman looked at the wind chimes, knowing that this was an obstacle in her life.

No amount of comforting words from others will help; she has to get through this on her own.

"It's okay, there are still 12 hours left until the 72 hours you mentioned."

"It's been eleven hours and forty-five minutes."

Do you think I gave too little time before?

If I had known, I wouldn't have tried to show off back then.

"Five days will do," Fengling said helplessly.

Xia Xiaoman shook her head and said, "You've actually given us a lot of time."

Giving the other party too much time to consider can actually make them indecisive.

For some important matters, the decision-making time often comes down to just a few hours.

If you take too long to think, it may lead to some uncontrollable changes.

So the time you gave is perfect.

The other party also has ample time to make a decision if they cannot give us a satisfactory answer within the seventy-two hours you requested.

That can only mean the other party wasn't prepared.

Then the other party is not our most suitable partner.

Xia Xiaoman looked at the wind chimes: "Are you sure you don't want to get some rest?"

In the past period of time, you have only slept for less than five hours.

You have dark circles under your eyes.

Fengling hugged her head and leaned against the ship's railing: "How can I possibly fall asleep right now?"

When I close my eyes, this is all I can think about.

My heart has flown with that third prince to his royal city of Aalborg.

Xia Xiaoman smiled helplessly.

Then we can only continue to wait.

Time passed little by little.

The last ten hours, eight hours, five hours.

The wind chimes' emotions also changed from initial anxiety, doubt, and anxiety to calmness.

Even with less than three hours left until the end.

She felt somewhat relieved.

She sat down on the ground, looking at the sun overhead and feeling the sea breeze.

"What, you're not in a hurry now?" Xia Xiaoman looked at the wind chimes.

Feng Ling placed her hands behind her back to support her body, facing the sky.

"Never mind, I've done all I could."

Even if we fail in the end, there's nothing I can do.

At worst, I'll just go back to the Dragon Continent, back to our kingdom.

I continued to serve as the captain of the military police.

"Maybe I'm really not suited for my current position." Fengling said with an indifferent expression.

But Xia Xiaoman could see something hidden deep in her eyes.

It's because I'm unwilling to accept it.

Sudden!

A carriage appeared at the port, and a person jumped off the carriage.

He shouted at the merchant ships over there.

"Dear Miss Merchant."

Our Third Prince has indicated that we can accept your trade cooperation proposal.

Because of some delays on the way, he may arrive later than expected.

Please wait a moment, Miss Merchant.

His Highness the Third Prince will return to the port within five hours.

We will discuss the specifics of our cooperation with you.

The man, holding a telegram, shouted loudly to the people on the bow of the ship.

Although the merchant ship was docked in the port, its jet bridge had been retracted.

Fengling jumped up with lightning speed, instinctively rushing to the side of the boat.

But she stopped as soon as she took a step and took a few deep breaths.

Then she slowly walked towards the side of the boat, and only then did her figure appear in front of the man.

"I see.

Although this may have taken longer than we expected.

But since His Highness the Third Prince is so sincere, I am willing to wait here a little longer.

But just this once.

If it's five hours, then I'll give you seven hours.

If the Third Prince does not appear before me within seven hours.

Then we will leave here.

"Okay, no problem!" The man breathed a sigh of relief.

Because a note was specifically made to them in the telegram.

That means we must persuade these guests to stay, no matter what.

Feng Ling gripped the railing, her face expressionless.

But Xia Xiaoman, who was behind her, could see it very clearly.

Her arms and legs were trembling.

That was exciting.

She did it!

She is about to complete the first task the kingdom has given her.

The next five hours were less than five hours later.

It only takes four hours.

The Third Prince's car returned to the port.

He looked somewhat haggard, and the clothes he was wearing were exactly the same as they had been a few days ago.

The Third Prince has arrived.

The merchant ships also lowered their gangways and docked with the shore.

The third prince excitedly ran up.

Compared to the Third Prince's disheveled and unkempt appearance.

The wind chimes are clearly much more elegant.

She wore clean and appropriate clothes, along with suitable makeup.

They look very energetic.

Looking at the Third Prince, his clothes were wrinkled, and there were even stains that looked like coffee stains.

The stubble on my chin had also accumulated over the past few days.

Compared to the Third Prince I met a few days ago, this Third Prince was clearly a few years older.

“Your Highness the Third Prince looks much more weathered than before,” Feng Ling said with a smile.

Looking at his disheveled appearance, the Third Prince said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I was really impolite to meet you today."

But this matter is too important, so I came rather hastily.

"It's alright. This also shows that His Highness the Third Prince is a person who pays attention to things and doesn't fuss over trivial matters."

"These are the qualities I believe a qualified and excellent collaborator should possess," Wind Chime said with a smile.

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Since His Highness the Third Prince sent a telegram specifically asking us to stay a little longer, he must have brought us satisfactory news."

The Third Prince nodded and said with a serious expression, "Regarding the matter of cooperating with you."

After discussions within our Aalborg royal family, this general direction was determined.

However, I hope we can have a final, detailed discussion regarding the specific details of the cooperation.

After that, I will form a negotiation team of about five people.

We will negotiate various matters concerning our future cooperation.

What do you think?

I have no objection.

This matter is indeed very important to both of us.

There is no doubt that the negotiations will determine the exact time.

But there's one thing I want to point out.

I hope that during the negotiations, all matters can be finalized in the shortest possible time.

I don't want a situation where both sides have to go through several rounds of consultation and negotiation because of a certain issue.

That would be a complete waste of time.

I hope that during the negotiations, everyone will discuss our cooperation from the most realistic perspective.

Don't harbor any illusions.

"Yes, you can rest assured about that."

"We are well aware of the importance of openness and honesty!" the Third Prince said confidently.

Fengling thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the time and place for the negotiations?"

"Negotiations can begin tomorrow."

As for the location...

You can choose whether to use it on your ship, in the port, or anywhere else in the city; it's all fine.

We finalized everything within three days of the negotiation process.

"What do you think?" The Third Prince looked at Feng Ling with an expression that said, "We can talk about anything."

Fengling nodded in satisfaction and said, "There are no problems with any of the arrangements you made."

Then it will be inside the port.

However, for the sake of secrecy, it is still desirable to have a proper confidentiality process in place.

"Don't let the outside world know about our collaboration beforehand."

"OK.

Let's set it up inside the port.

As for maintaining confidentiality, we will arrange everything properly, and there will absolutely be no problems.

"Please rest assured!" the Third Prince assured him.

"Then I wish us a successful negotiation tomorrow." Feng Ling smiled and extended her hand. "Your Highness, the Third Prince, can get a good rest tonight."

The words were spoken with a teasing tone.

"Yes, I can finally get some rest."

"Now we're moving on to the next part of our collaboration." The Third Prince also showed a slightly relaxed expression.

The third prince also walked down the covered bridge and returned to the port.

Fengling watched the car drive away.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Back on deck, she excitedly waved her fist.

"Yay! Yay! Oh yeah!"

Seeing Xia Xiaoman smiling at her from the side, Fengling rushed over.

He hugged Xia Xiaoman and kissed her on the cheek.

Xia Xiaoman felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, don't get too excited."

Tomorrow's negotiations are also very important.

"This is our final step, we can't let our guard down," Xia Xiaoman said.

Fengling said confidently this time, "As long as they are interested and willing to negotiate with us."

What followed was basically a natural progression.

They are the delicious food in my bowl, the cooked duck, they can't fly away.

Xia Xiaoman shook her head helplessly, but she was also genuinely happy for Fengling.

Afterwards, an area of ​​the port adjacent to the merchant ship was sealed off.

The official reason given was that this area needed to be inspected and repaired, and the area would be closed for five days.

During these five days, no unauthorized personnel are permitted to enter.

I also saw maintenance signs in many places.

There were also some people in maintenance uniforms coming and going.

It's as if this area is really being prepared for maintenance.

But only Fengling and the others knew that all of this was preparation for tomorrow's negotiations.

The area under maintenance was covered with a black cloth.

This would perfectly block the view of the merchant ship docking.

Unless you can look down over the area, you won't see anyone getting off the ship.

At the personal invitation of the Third Prince, Feng Ling disembarked from the merchant ship.

Cross this blocked area.

We entered an area surrounded by metal boxes.

The space inside is very basic.

A few tables and a few lights were all it took to create a meeting room.

"Miss Wind Chime."

Time is limited, and for the sake of our secrecy...

"Let's keep everything simple," the Third Prince explained.

The wind chime nodded in understanding.

Wind Chime also saw the other four people from the Kingdom of Aalborg who were waiting there.

Two men and two women.

Let me introduce myself.

This is our Aalborg royal family's eldest princess, and currently the first in line to the throne.

The eldest princess glanced at the third prince and said calmly, "It's only theoretical at the moment."

In our royal family, there is no rule of primogeniture.

The succession of our Kingdom of Aalborg will always be based on the most outstanding child.

Judging from our current achievements, if this negotiation goes smoothly...

"Then, third brother, you should be the most suitable person to be the heir to the kingdom."

Upon hearing this...

The Third Prince waved his hand and said, "Eldest sister, I have no intention of taking your place."

You all know my ideals.

Besides our shared goal of making the Kingdom of Aalborg stronger.

I want to become a navigator; I hope to go to farther places.

In my lifetime, I will travel to every continent and every ocean in the world!

I don't want to be trapped in this country.

The eldest princess smiled slightly and said nothing more.

He continued to introduce them one by one.

Then came the Second Prince, the Fifth Princess, and the Eighth Prince.

These five people are the five most outstanding princes and princesses in the Kingdom of Aalborg.

They were also included in this negotiation team.

Looking at the wind chimes, besides the wind chimes themselves, there was Xia Xiaoman and three other professionals who were specifically there to prepare for the negotiations.

"Please take your seats, everyone," the Third Prince gestured for them to sit.

After everyone was seated.

Fengling got straight to the point, saying, "Since we're already sitting here..."

Let's skip all that fancy stuff.

Let's get straight to the essence of our collaboration.

We want to support an agent on Xida Road.

What is an agent?

He acts according to our ideas, and his military and diplomatic powers are influenced by us.

In addition, we will provide them with the advanced technologies we can to support their rapid growth.

Let them become the most powerful nation on the Western Continent!
