Because Liu Zhi's question was too sharp, no one dared to answer for a while, and the banquet fell into a short silence, and after a while, Buber coughed lightly and raised his head: "Mr. Liu's good intentions are admirable, but I don't know what kind of position we people from European countries are in in this Federation after the establishment of this Earth Federation?" ”

As soon as these words came out, most of the eyes of everyone present were focused on Liu Zhi's face, and they seemed to be very concerned about this issue.

Liu Zhi stretched out two fingers and said lightly: "There are two options, one is to join the federation as an individual and become a legal citizen under the rule of the federation, enjoying the same rights and obligations as Chinese citizens, and there will be no shortage of half a point in any aspect." The second is to join the country or nation situation, the leader is self-appointed, and the law is self-determined, but it must not violate the basic law of the federation, and the same obligations and rights are enjoyed with the citizens of the federation. ”

Everyone immediately understood, not to mention the former, the only benefit of the latter was obviously to keep the national character of each nation relatively intact, so that there would not be a situation where once they joined the Earth Federation, they would have to be forced to integrate into Huaxia.

After all, there are still many **** countries in the world that will never allow their own nation to be divided, and will never admit that pagans will take the position of leader.

At this time, Liu Zhi continued: "As for joining the Federation, you are willing to lead your soldiers to fight with the Federation army and exist as a vassal army. Or integrate into the military system of the Federation and become a member of the main battle force, these are completely free. I will not look down on any race, and in the same way, I will never favor the Chinese people. Character and ability have always been the most important elements for me, and even if you don't understand it now, you will understand it in the future. ”

After hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes and thought about it, they still only have a one-sided understanding of the combat strength of the expeditionary force for the time being, there is not enough force to deter, and naturally there is no reason to bow down, not to mention that Liu Zhi only said the conditions for joining the federation, what benefits can be obtained after joining, and what official position can be occupied, these are not mentioned at all, so they did not think about expressing their position immediately, and planned to listen to the reality of the expeditionary force clearly.

In the following time, Liu Zhi did not talk about business again, and the banquet ended quickly in small talk, and Heywood and the others personally sent them back to the barracks, and after the incident, they gathered together again to discuss joining the Federation.

"The ambition of the Chinese wolf, in my opinion, the reason why Liu Zhi formed the Earth Federation will definitely not be as simple as it seems on the surface." It was one of the three leaders of the camp who spoke, named Rudy? Rosberg, dressed in a uniform with long black and brown hair, with a white face and beard, and handsome features, looked at Heywood and Buber and said, "I think it's best for us not to give an answer for the time being, and when we know enough about the Chinese people, it's not too late to make a calculation." ”

Buber on the side shook his head and said: "I don't think Mr. Liu will be such a person, judging from the orcs' willingness to listen to his orders, the combat power of the Huaxia army should be quite powerful, at least not under the orcs, and in this regard, the equipment used by the Huaxia people can also be seen." He turned to Rosberg, "Rudy, you can think about it from a different perspective, if you also had such a strong army, and had orcs as allies, would you think about doing more for humanity?" Or to bring more people around you? ”

He paused for a moment and concluded: "So let's not be too sensitive, after all, the Huaxia people just saved us, even if Mr. Liu is really ambitious, we should respect him until the matter is confirmed." ”

Rosberg worried: "That's true, but I'm afraid that something has happened, and our respective nations have fallen into deep trouble, and there are not a few such tragedies in history!" ”

Buber was about to argue again, but Heywood, who was at the top, suddenly spoke, and he said in a deep voice: "Both of you have a point, we can't think of the Huaxia people too well, but we can't think too badly, after all, we have a very limited understanding of the Huaxia people and their tribes, so let's do it, I will invite Mr. Liu to the banquet tomorrow, and find an opportunity to ask about the relevant situation, you can also send someone to inquire privately, even if you can't ask anything from the soldiers' mouths, those civilians should still be happy to communicate with us." ”

Rosberg bowed his head and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to do it." ”

Buber buried his head in noncommittal, he knew that no matter what the results of the investigation were, joining the Federation was inevitable, because at this stage, no force could have the strength to match the strength of the Huaxia, after all, they had powerful orc allies.

What bothered Buber was that before joining the Federation, he sought the favor and trust of Liu Zhi? Or do you find a way to save yourself after you find out that something is wrong?

…………

In the barracks, the pre-war meeting of the crusade against the pigmen had just ended, and the officers had not dispersed, Xiao Changle walked in quickly, and said to Liu Zhi in his ear: "Chief, that person named ArchiWharton wants to see you, saying that there is something important to discuss, do you see it?" ”

He? Liu Zhi turned his head in surprise, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is he alone?" ”

Xiao Changle said: "Just him." ”

Liu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Bring him in, it's over here." ”

"Yes."

After leaving Duan Qi and Long Zhen behind, and the rest of the officers exiting the barracks, Xiao Changle quickly brought in a young man, about one meter and eight years old, with a well-proportioned figure and three-dimensional facial features.

He nodded slightly to Duan Qi and the two of them, then turned to Liu Zhi, who was sitting in the middle, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, meet again." ”

Liu Zhi raised his hand to signal him to take a seat, and said with a smile: "As soon as the banquet was over, and the smell of meat was still in his mouth, Mr. Wharton came, I don't know what happened?" ”

Politely declining the invitation to take a seat, Wharton stood and continued: "Since Mr. Liu is straight to the point, then I have nothing to hide, I came this time to make a deal with Mr. Liu." ”

"Deal?" Liu Zhi pretended to be surprised and said: "So, Mr. Wharton is not here on behalf of the European coalition forces?" ”

Wharton bowed his head and said, "Yes, although I am under Mr. Heywood, this time, I am only representing myself. ”

Liu Zhi vaguely guessed what he wanted to talk about, and couldn't help but marvel at the keen sense of political smell of this thing, sat up straighter, and asked with interest: "Then let's talk about it, Mr. Wharton, what exactly does this so-called deal mean?" ”

Wharton's expression became serious, and he said slowly: "Mr. Liu wants to form an Earth Federation, Europe must be an indispensable link, there are dozens of countries in that land, with different cultures and customs, and some of the small countries even have only a few million people, if it is really as Mr. Liu said, all mankind has crossed over, then this number will be greatly reduced, so I think that the Federation will not give Europe too many seats, maybe four or five, maybe seven or eight, and even, simply divide it into two - Western Europe and Eastern Europe." ”

Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, Wharton's guess was quite close to his inner thoughts, but he controlled his surprise well, raised his head and asked, "What do you mean by Eastern Europe and Western Europe?" ”

"Of course." Wharton said: "During the two world wars, Europe was indeed a great power and the world attracted attention, but after World War II, the international status of European countries fell again and again. It wasn't until the establishment of the European Union that the situation eased slightly, and now, all mankind has crossed the other world and cultivated the budding civilization, which means that no European country can become a force that affects the overall situation, and must unite. ”

Speaking of this, Wharton looked up at Liu Zhi and added seriously: "If Mr. Liu intends to make Europe an important part of the Earth Federation, then a suitable spokesperson is naturally indispensable, and in this regard, I think I am more suitable than Rosberg, Buber, and even Mr. Heywood, because I have the means to unite the whole of Europe under the rule of the Earth Federation." ”
