Chapter 4165

Early the next morning, the star sector where the Interstellar Council is located was still a busy scene. Official ships came and went, and the lobby of the office building was crowded. Just different from the past, this time everyone was wearing suits.

In fact, human creativity is still very strong, especially compared to mechanical life, they are better at dressing themselves up. However, unlike the Shi'ar Empire's excessive decoration, it emphasizes moderation and also puts a lot of energy into developing diversified aesthetic styles. Take suits, for example, there are Italian suits, British suits, and American suits, and among these schools, there are also retro styles and modern styles, old-school tailoring, and new-school decoration. At the same time, pay attention to matching, matching ties, cufflinks, and brooches. In short, there are many styles to choose from.

The Sorcerer Supreme gave a death order, not allowing anyone to wear imperial uniforms, and no one dared to touch his brow at this juncture. So although some were reluctant, they could only check what the suit he mentioned was.

As mentioned before, because many humans appearing in the universe wear tights, they have a stereotype of humans, and naturally they will set expectations very low. Even if they wear tights, they recognize it. However, after searching online, they found that humans don't just wear tights. The clothes they wear in their daily lives are no different from other humanoid creatures.

When the Creator created life, there were general templates, so most of the universe are humanoid creatures. Some are not humanoid, mostly secondary civilizations derived after the destruction of humanoid civilizations, and most of the civilization levels are not very high. Advanced civilizations are mostly humanoid. Even if height, skin color, and appearance are different from humans, they are all hands and feet walking upright, so the derived clothing culture is not much different from humans.

They were surprised to find that in terms of casual wear, humans are actually similar to them, basically loose-fitting, soft-fabric clothes. And the suit, as a formal wear for some humans, is a style between formal wear and casual wear in their view.

Most aliens' formal wear is very gorgeous and complex. Imperial uniforms are actually simplified versions, and the noble clothing of the Shi'ar Empire is even more exaggerated. Unexpectedly, human formal wear is simpler than imperial uniforms, neither needing to adjust sashes nor wearing medals, and the style of the belt doesn't need to be so particular.

Most people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the style of the suit: on one hand, they didn't have to wear tights, and on the other hand, this kind of clothing should be easier to wear than imperial uniforms, almost equivalent to wearing casual clothes to work. No worker is unwilling to wear casual clothes. Before, because of the majesty of the three major empires, they had to wear that stiff military uniform. Whoever was tight knew it. Strange's order was given, and they could finally touch fish openly.

Thus, the employees crossed this hurdle without any psychological burden and sincerely hoped that the Sorcerer Supreme could be the Speaker for a longer time, so that they could wear comfortably to work.

And buying suits also has particularities. It definitely can't be ordered from Earth. It's too far away, and even if they don't understand suits, they know that this kind of clothing needs to be tailored. They can't get into Earth's magic defense network, and this kind of clothing style is not complicated. One look and they know what's going on. It's better to find their own civilization's tailor, and they can also engage in some unique little tricks.

Some people with active minds were already prepared to use this matter to show their stance to the Sorcerer Supreme, so they attached great importance to it, stayed up all night to find the best tailor in their civilization, analyzed a large number of human pictures, and some powerful ones could even find mutants, ask them for a few suits for analysis, and strive to be the most beautiful boy at the second day's regular meeting.

Most aliens chose British suits in unison, mainly because British suits were also evolved from military uniforms. Some old-school British double-breasted suits looked like military uniforms, and also a bit like imperial uniforms, more suitable for serious work occasions.

There were also some people from the Shi'ar Empire or subordinate star systems who preferred colorful Italian suits. However, even Italian suits, compared to the very gorgeous imperial uniforms they usually wear, are small witches seeing big witches, at most a bit more lively than British suits, and look relatively simple.

There were also some very careful little smart ghosts who conducted a big investigation into the Sorcerer Supreme's background, learned that he was an American, so they deliberately imitated American suits for tailoring, striving to let the Sorcerer Supreme feel the taste of his hometown.

At the regular meeting the next morning, Strange was stunned as soon as he entered the office: the whole room was sitting neatly, regardless of yellow skin, purple skin, blue skin, green skin, regardless of high elves, dwarf goblins, even those with wings on their backs and tails behind them, all wearing human suits, sitting in their seats seriously.

This scene actually looked a bit strange, and could even be said to have a bit of uncanny valley effect, but Strange didn't care so much. He felt that suits still looked pleasing to the eye. So he also cast magic, changed into the suit he wore most often, walked to the main seat and sat down.

He said: "It seems that you attach great importance to what I said yesterday, which is very good. I hope you can also attach such importance to the work in the future." Strange looked around and said, "Alright, I have already said yesterday that the next work may be different from what you did in the past, and the department functions may also be adjusted, so next I will adjust the seating again: the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Commerce sit on my right, the Minister of Resources on the left..."

Strange made a seating adjustment, and not surprisingly, everyone exchanged glances again. However, it could be seen very clearly that some people exchanged glances more frequently, and when looking at others, they carried not small hostility.

"I don't understand," a big guy suddenly said, "I am the Minister of the Armed Forces, how can I sit at the end?"

Everyone looked in his direction. A long table, he sat in the last row, very far from Strange, and originally he was sitting in the second row, second only to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Security.

The difference between the Ministry of Armed Forces and the Ministry of Security is equivalent to the army and the police. The Interstellar Council has its own army, called the Interstellar Peacekeeping Force, which is a joint force of the three major empires and is managed by the Ministry of Armed Forces.

The Ministry of Security also has its own armed forces, the full name is the Interstellar Security Police, but it is mainly composed of local armed forces from various star systems. This might sound a bit unfamiliar, but if you start from the Guardians of the Galaxy, it's much simpler.

In the Guardians of the Galaxy comics, a force often appears, that is the Nova Corps from Xandar. They have guarded the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy for many years, and are often comrades-in-arms fighting side by side with the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Nova Corps belongs to the security police establishment of the Ministry of Security.

One side is the elite troops of the three major empires, and the other side is the militia gathered from local armed forces. Who is stronger naturally doesn't need to be said, so the status of the Ministry of Security has actually always been inferior to the Ministry of Armed Forces - the Ministry of Armed Forces is the armed guarantee for the three major empires to control the Interstellar Council.

And the Minister of the Armed Forces has always been held by personnel within the three major empires, and this time is no exception. Among the list submitted by Schiller, two Kree Empire generals, one Skrull general, and the one chosen in the end was the Skrull general, which is the big guy speaking now.

"Alright," Strange waved his hand and said, "I said, the focus of the next stage of work has been adjusted, we are going to focus on environmental protection work. And in terms of going deep into the local grassroots, your Ministry of Armed Forces is not as reliable as the Ministry of Security. Do you know how many civilizations there are in Cygnus? Do you know what the relationship between them is? Who is the strongest in the star system, who is the decision-maker? Andromeda Galaxy? Triangulum Galaxy? Your Ministry of Armed Forces deals with the most dangerous war events in the universe, how can you go to engage in these trivial matters every day?"

This series of words is both praising and hitting. The Skrull general couldn't say anything. After all, what Strange said was the truth: their Ministry of Armed Forces doesn't understand the situation at the grassroots level of the universe, and he is also a general who only knows how to lead soldiers. Thinking about having to engage in environmental protection work makes his head big. Thinking about it this way, it's actually a good thing not to be transferred to the front. Anyway, he has soldiers in his hands, and no one can do anything to him.

So he didn't make a sound. As a result, at this time, another thin and tall person stood up and said: "Sorcerer Supreme, if we want to engage in environmental protection work, our Ministry of Propaganda should be at the forefront. Do you want to rely on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do propaganda work? Although they know the grassroots civilizations of the universe well, they are laymen in propaganda. We are the most professional propaganda personnel."

"Yes, you are indeed very professional. My agenda outline hasn't been sent out yet, and the matter that we are going to engage in environmental protection work has spread throughout the universe. The efficiency is indeed very high."

"But if we want to engage in environmental protection work, of course we must vigorously promote it. We must let them realize how important environmental protection is before we can unfold subsequent work."

"I didn't say you did anything wrong, this lady, uh, it could also be a gentleman. I just want to ask: where does the funding for purchasing the front page of the Interstellar News Network and scrolling banners all day come from?"

"It uses the propaganda funds of the propaganda department," the Minister of Propaganda said righteously. He naturally has the confidence because he came from a financial background. The budget approval process and usage method cannot have problems, and that guy in the Ministry of Finance is completely a layman, I'm afraid he can't even read the budget approval report, and it's impossible to pick his thorns.

Who knew that at this time, the Minister of Finance stood up and said: "Sorcerer Supreme, I was just about to say this. I fully understand the importance of environmental protection work, and I also know that we should increase propaganda efforts to popularize the importance of environmental protection to the citizens of the interstellar society, but they spend too much money. If this continues, we will be in the red before the end of the quarter."

Strange nodded and said: "Environmental protection work is important, but there can be no unbridled waste."

"But the influence of the Interstellar News Network is very large. Most citizens of the interstellar society will open the Interstellar News Network to obtain the latest information. Buying their front page headlines for propaganda has very good results," the Minister of Propaganda was not panicked at all. He took out a PDA, projected the data to the middle of the table, and said, "And under the efforts of the staff of the propaganda department, the tweets about environmental protection propaganda are written in simple and easy-to-understand ways, and are fascinating. The click-through rate reached 26%, and the completion rate is also 70%. The editors of the Interstellar News Network said that this is an unprecedented success. Although the budget is a bit high, it is completely worth it to have such results."

Strange looked at the data appearing on the panel, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Not bad, the Minister of Propaganda makes sense. Although the price is a bit expensive, the effect is good after all. Our work still needs to pay attention to results. If we excessively reduce costs and increase efficiency, it may lead to slow work progress, which is not worth it."

"Sorcerer Supreme, in fact, although the headlines of the Interstellar News Network have great propaganda power, if you really want to say what young people like, it must be New Ring Video. This is the largest video website in the entire universe, with hundreds of millions of popular podcasts from the entire universe. If you can place advertisements on this website, the propaganda effect will definitely become better."

"No, Sorcerer Supreme, just because this website is the hottest video website in the universe, the podcasts on it ask for very high prices. They ask for hundreds of thousands of general coins at every turn, just for the cost of inserting advertisements in the video gaps. If you let them release a separate explanation video, I'm afraid it will be millions. This is really too expensive!"
