Chapter 531 Common Interests (II)

Vog Iliar was clearly not very interested in this proposal, and compared to the current predicament facing the West German Confederation, it no longer matters who to ally with, but will bring unexpected trouble, which is the last thing Vog wants. Especially at this time, the Macroo family is eyeing his position, if there is any mistake in his decision-making about the consortium, Macroo will definitely not mind standing up and initiating a vote and ousting himself before his rotation period is over!

Vog will never allow this to happen!

Vog slowly stood up, and it would not be a pleasure to sit on any kind of comfortable sofa all day! Vog felt that his waist was about to stiffen, and he stretched his body, and then the office door opened, and the pretty and delicate secretary walked in with her high heels, and the two snow-white balls on her chest trembled as the high heels made a sound on the floor.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Yelfo Macroo wants to see you outside!" the secretary's voice was sweet and delicate.

"What does the old thing want to do at this time?" Vog pondered in his mind for a moment, and said, "Ten minutes later, let him in!"

"Yes, Secretary-General!" the beautiful secretary walked out of the office with her sleek waist twisted.

Yelfo Macroau is the patriarch of the Macroro family, one of the two major families in the West German Confederation, and the old man who is about to enter the soil still controls the Macroo family, which makes people admire his abundant energy. Standing in front of his office window, Vog looked out at the blue sky in the distance, knowing that on the other side of the distant universe, his old rivals, the Byzantine Commonwealth, were planning to work with the two confederations from the Orion Cantilever.

To unite or not to unite, this is the biggest problem facing Vog at present!

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Yelfo Macroo pushed open the office door and slowly walked in. Yelfo's old face was radiant, and it was hard to believe that he was one hundred and eighty years old. Yelfo walked up to Vog and bowed deeply, Vog hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, with a bright smile on his face, and said: "Oh, Patriarch Makro, don't be polite in private!"

"Ahem, etiquette is indispensable, Secretary-General!" said Yelfo with a light cough.

Vogue helped Yelfo to his chair and poured him a glass of wine. Yelfo thanked him, took a sip, and set the glass back on the table. Yelfo looked at Vog, smiled and asked, "Secretary-General, I heard about something, so come and ask!"

"Oh, what's the matter?" asked Vog, sitting across from Jelfo, crossed his legs.

Yelfo sat up straight, his right hand lightly clenched into a fist against his lips and coughed, and said, "I heard that the Manton Goethe Consortium of Orion Cantilevered has sent a letter of willingness to cooperate, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Vog scolded in his heart, the news of this old thing is still quite well-informed! The smile on Vog's face remained unchanged, and he did not intend to deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, I only found out about this morning, and it is because of this matter that I am troubled, and I plan to hold a hearing to listen to the opinions of the councilors!" Vog said according to the routine of the orthodox official dialect.

Yelfo sneered when he heard this, when he sat in this position, the official words were much better than the kid in front of him, so Vog's words were equivalent to nonsense to him. However, out of reverence for the position of secretary general, Yelfo did not expose Vog's intentions on the spot, and said: "Yes, that fully reflects the purpose of our association." However, what I want to say is that there is really no need to bring this up for the big guys to discuss. The relationship between the families within our consortium is already tense enough, and wouldn't it be even worse if we joined a consortium outside of the cantilever?"

Of course, I can also restrain you, an old fox!" Vog thought in disgust, still smiling on his face, and said, "What the Lord said is not wrong at all, in fact, I think so too. However, since you already know about this, I think the other families will get the news soon. Everyone is secretly pondering, and I must say something, otherwise I will pretend that nothing happened, and it will be difficult to say it in other families, what do you say?"

"Well," Jelfo nodded deeply, "you are indeed thinking about it, and you have to give a reasonable explanation to the other families." I'll leave it to me! I'll settle those noisy old guys!"

Vog looked a little surprised, and quickly disguised the past, he didn't expect that Yelfo would take the initiative to settle the problem for himself, if only before that, he would have burned high incense without causing trouble to himself. Vog keenly felt that the purpose of this old fox's coming here today was not so simple!

"Then thank you, sir, I'm worried about this!" Vog said with a grateful smile, "You also know that the relationship between the various families within the consortium has become more and more tense, and I, the secretary general, are not easy to be!"

"Hehe, no thanks, we are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, we have common interests, I will not sit idly by!" Yilfo said in a high-sounding voice, and said with a smile: "However, the trouble with this matter is that even if the other families are settled, how do you respond to Manton Goethe?"

Vog frowned, was silent for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "What about the old gentleman's opinion?"

Well, the ball is kicked back again!

Yelfo's eyes fell on the table, the crystal table reflected the light of the stars coming in from the window, in recent years, the temperature on this planet has risen a little too fast, this is not a good thing! Yelfo pulled his thoughts back to reality, and said: "I think, don't refuse at first, don't agree immediately, see the other party's reaction before making a judgment!"

Vog listened to Yelfo's suggestion, and said in his heart that it was really an old fox, and this hand Tai Chi was perfect, and this is how you made the West German Commonwealth into a miasma, right?

"Even so, we have to have a clear attitude, to cooperate or not to cooperate?"

Yelfo thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better not to cooperate." Judging from the current situation in Byzantium, even if he cooperates with those two associations, it will not necessarily change his current situation, but will become a helper for the expansion of those two associations in the Ruler Seat. When the time comes, when the other associations in the constellation are invaded by the expansion of the two associations of the cantilever of Orion, they will naturally vent their anger on Byzantium, and we will reap the benefits, wouldn't it be very good?"

Vog listened to Yelfo's words, and suddenly it dawned on him! The old fox is indeed an old fox, and he thought of the result before it happened, and made a predetermined judgment. Thinking of this, Vog rediscovered the horror of this gentle-looking little old man in front of him!

"The boss's words really made me stunned!" said Vogel, pretending to be educated, "It seems that I still have a lot to learn from the boss!"

"Well said, well said," Yelfo said what he was going to say, waved his hand, and changed the subject to ask: "How is Pound lately, I haven't seen him for a long time!"

Vog heard Yelfo ask about his eldest brother, thought for a moment and said, "He has always been unwell these days, so he rarely goes out!"

"Oh, the old fellow is sick again, just right, I'm idle, go see him!" Yelfo stood up, and Vog hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Okay," Yelfo declined, "You're busy with yours, I won't bother, I'll talk to Pound for a while!"

Vog looked at the back of the old thing, and his heart was cloudy. Now, he is even more unsure of what the old thing is thinking in his heart, why did he advise himself not to cooperate with Manton Goethe, is he really afraid that the family of the Manton Goethe Consortium will come in and interfere with the Macroo family? Vog thinks that the old thing's idea will definitely not be so simple, what does he want to do?

After Yelfo left, the secretary re-entered the room and handed a document to Vogel. Vogel felt only a pain in his lower back, and stood in front of the window reading the report from the westernmost mining base station in the West German Commonwealth. The base station is adjacent to the Byzantine Commonwealth, which is less than 300,000 kilometers apart and is often involved in friction and firefighting over asteroid ore.

After looking at it for a while, Vogg's eyes showed excitement, according to the report, they were lost because they were attacked by the Byzantine Commonwealth Transport Fleet, and accidentally found an unmined planet in the open area between the two major confederations, and according to the detection, it was found that the asteroid was a gold mine. According to the data on the report, the asteroid is an irregular oval in shape, with a diameter of about 300 kilometers, and it can be judged that this is a planet composed entirely of gold deposits.

Vog put down the paperwork, signed it with his name, and stamped it. Then he called the secretary in and asked her to send the papers to the Military Council. The secretary took the document, and the big eyes of the water spirit glanced at the secretary-general's face a few times silently, and then walked out of the office quickly with his head down. After the secretary left, Vog called the speaker of the military council and told him about it, telling him to act as soon as possible to assist the Council of Supplies in seizing the asteroid, and if it fell into the hands of Byzantium, the consequences would be much more serious. The value of this asteroid is immeasurable, and it has played a pivotal role in stimulating the weak economy within the Consortium! Once the Byzantium is made aware of this, a bloody storm is inevitable!

Vog seems to have felt the pulse of the war, and he unconsciously "chickens" are moving!
