Speaking of which, Liu Yi hasn't been in contact with Mei Yuqi for a long time. Although the cooperation between the two sides has continued, the Ice Peak Base has also been supplying mechs to the Mei family's army.

However, the Mei family's payment is not always so timely, and it is common for it to drag on for several months, and Liu Yi has never paid attention to this.

On the one hand, this is to restore the favor of the Bingfeng base in the first place, and on the other hand, Liu Yi also hopes that the Mei family can repay him in the future, especially in the relationship with overseas colonies, the Mei family will be an important link and bridge.

"Willow Wing? Long time no see! When Mei Yuqi's face appeared in the projection, Liu Yi was once again shocked by her beauty.

"Hey, long time no see." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"What have you been up to lately? There must be a lot to do to become a governor, right? Mei Yuqi asked kindly.

Liu Yi nodded and replied: "That's right, there are indeed a lot of things now, I haven't contacted you for so long, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

"How can this be? I've always wanted to say thank you, but I'm afraid to disturb you. Mei Yuqi said with a smile.

After a few words of greeting between the two, Liu Yi turned to the topic and asked, "How is the war in Tuoyuan Star now?" How much more time will it take to end the war? ”

Seeing Liu Yi asking about this, Mei Yuqi's face gradually turned cold, and she sighed: "The current situation is not going well, although most of the places have been recovered, there are still a few places that are difficult to overcome. Everyone is dominated by mechas, although we have an absolute advantage in numbers, but the other party has a geographical advantage, I am afraid it will be difficult to end in a short time. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi said, "If you need it, I can send a fleet to help you, so that you should be able to destroy the other party soon." ”

Mei Yuqi didn't expect Liu Yi to be so generous, willing to send a fleet to help him, if there was really a fleet to help, it would be effortless to defeat the enemy.

"Really?" Mei Yuqi's face suddenly turned red, and she asked in disbelief, "Can you really send a fleet to help us?" ”

"Of course, I also hope that you can end the war as soon as possible and live a normal life." Liu Yi said with certainty.

"That couldn't be better!" Mei Yuqi clapped her hands like a child and said, "I thank you in advance!" ”

"How to proceed, I will let the fleet admiral Admiral Feng Kailong discuss with you, and he will try to cooperate with you." Liu Yi said.

"Thank you so much! I don't know how to thank you! "Actually, Mei Yuqi has long wanted to ask Liu Yi's fleet for help, but they still owe a lot of mecha money that has not been paid, and they really can't open this mouth, and now Liu Yi has taken the initiative to bring it up, Mei Yuqi's heart is simply happy.

"Actually, I have something very important to ask you." Liu Yi said.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Mei Yuqi said with a smile.

Liu Yi said: "I need more tax sources and population now, and I hope to conquer a few overseas colonies to solve my urgent needs temporarily." ”

After listening to Liu Yi's words, the smile on Mei Yuqi's face froze suddenly, as if she was petrified in an instant.

"This ......" Mei Yuqi couldn't speak for a long time, Liu Yi's words were like a handful of rice mixed with sand, and she couldn't eat it, and she couldn't vomit.

In fact, Liu Yi can probably understand Mei Yuqi's mood, and it may be difficult to accept it if he is himself, but Liu Yi still decided to say it frankly, which is better than using fraud.

"I know it's hard for you to accept, after all, this is an invasion, but I still want you to listen calmly, because it's in our common interest." Liu Yi said.

It can be seen that Mei Yuqi is trying her best to control her emotions, otherwise she may have exploded long ago.

"Okay...... Say it......" At this time, Mei Yuqi's face had turned from sunny to cloudy, and her chest was rising and falling violently.

"My idea is this, I'll take two or three colonies outside the borders, and then you'll manage them, but the taxes will be given to me, and I can recruit soldiers in these places if I need to." Liu Yi said: "After five years, these colonies will be handed back to you, and I will no longer participate in the affairs of the colonies, and you will manage them in the future." ”

"You're really only going to occupy it for five years?" Mei Yuqi asked in disbelief.

Liu Yi nodded and said: "I only made this decision to solve the current financial needs, and my goal in the future will not be overseas, and five years of tax revenue is enough." ”

Mei Yuqi frowned for a while, and finally said slowly: "This matter ...... It's so impactful that I'll have to talk to the others about it, please give me some time. ”

Liu Yi naturally would not refuse, nodded and said, "No problem, you can think about it slowly, there is no need to reply in a hurry to this matter." ”

Mei Yuqi nodded and did not speak, and quickly turned off the video call.

Liu Yi saw that Mei Yuqi had gone offline, and he began to worry a little in his heart, once this matter was spoken, it would be good if the Mei family was willing to agree, but if the Mei family refused, I am afraid it would be difficult to cooperate in the future.

However, Liu Yi thinks that the possibility of the Mei family agreeing is still relatively large, after all, the Mei family is in a hurry to complete the reunification now, and with the help of the Yaqiu fleet, the time can be greatly shortened, otherwise no one can say whether the situation will change in a few years.

"I hope they can agree......" Liu Yi said to himself.

A few days later, Shangguan Qi led his mecha troops to the Ice Peak base, and Liu Yi and the others went to the Highland Airport to see them off.

Originally, Shangguan Qi led the team to the Ice Peak Base this time and had nothing to do with Ke Rin, but when Ke Rin learned about the God of War system, he had to follow him to see and understand it no matter what.

Liu Yi didn't agree, but after thinking about it, Ke Rin has also made a lot of contributions to staying in Yaqiu in the past few years, so it's good to let him go out to increase his knowledge, anyway, these techniques will slowly spread to all troops in the future.

"If you go to the Ice Peak Base, you have to train hard, don't drink all day, it's not Yaqiu." Liu Yi instructed Ke Rin.

"I know, I know, don't mother-in-law, I'm a mecha when I get there, except for eating and sleeping, how can I drink?" Kirin said impatiently.

Shangguan Qi on the side said with a smile: "You just don't want to drink, the Bingfeng base is completely banned from alcohol, and there is no place to buy it if you want to get there." ”

"Really?" Kirin was taken aback.

"Of course, the Bingfeng base is a major place for production and experiments, have you ever seen wine in Jieyi's workshop?" Kamikanzaki asked.

"Nope."

"That's right, the entire Bingfeng base is a big factory, of course, there is no drop of wine." Shangguanqi said with a wicked smile.

"This ......" Ke Rin swallowed hard, and then said fiercely: "If you don't drink it, you won't drink it!" Deal...... I drank enough on the boat, and when I got there, I could last a few more days without drinking. ”

"Hahaha......" Ke Rin's words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

A few days after Shangguanqi and the others left, Liu Yi received an email from Mei Yuqi and asked Liu Yi to have a meeting. Liu Yi knew that Mei Yuqi must have already had a clear answer, otherwise she would not have sent an email and agreed on a time for the meeting so solemnly.

At the appointed time, Mei Yuqi appeared on time in the video call. Liu Yi was anxious to know the answer, but he couldn't act too anxious, so he wanted to judge the result by Mei Yuqi's expression.

When Liu Yi saw Mei Yuqi's expression, he immediately felt bad in his heart, because Mei Yuqi had completely lost her former brilliance today, and she looked quite haggard.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Mei Yuqi said in a somewhat hoarse voice.

Liu Yi asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" Is it unwell? ”

Mei Yuqi touched her cheek, barely squeezed out a smile, and replied, "It's nothing, it's just a little tired." ”

"You have to pay more attention to rest, if you need anything, just tell me, no matter how things develop in the future, I hope our friendship will always be the same." Liu Yi said sincerely.

"Thank you." Mei Yuqi said with a smile, her face flushed with a faint flush, and she was shocked to see Liu Yi.

Just when Liu Yi was in a daze, Mei Yuqi continued: "Regarding that matter, I have already discussed it with my father and others. ”

Seeing that Mei Yuqi was about to announce the answer, Liu Yi quickly suppressed his thoughts, sat up straight and said, "Very good, what is the result of your discussion?" ”

Mei Yuqi paused for a moment and replied slowly, "We decided...... Accept your offer...... However, there are a few points that need to be clarified first. ”

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, followed by a burst of joy in his heart, although he had expected that Mei Yuqi would agree to this, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, he only mentioned it once and they agreed.

"Say, what do you need to be clear?" Liu Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a calm tone as much as possible.

Mei Yuqi said: "First of all, the deadline, five years later, these colonies will be handed over to us, this must be determined first. ”

"Naturally, we can write it down clearly in the contract, which is good for us." Liu Yi nodded.

Mei Yuqi continued: "The second point is about the colonies you want to occupy, and I hope we can designate them. ”

After Mei Yuqi finished speaking, her eyes stared at Liu Yi, looking like she was afraid that Liu Yi would refuse.

Liu Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, there is no problem with this one." ”

"The last point is the number of colonies, which can only occupy three at most, and never more!" Mei Yuqi stretched out three fingers and said unusually firmly.

Liu Yi did not hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "Okay, three is three, and it will never increase." ”

"Since you agree to all these points, I can agree to this matter as a representative, but the contract still has to be signed." Mei Yuqi said with relief.

"That's natural, I'll get people to draw up a contract as soon as possible." Liu Yi smiled: "But I also have a request, you must agree to me." ”

"What requirements?" Mei Yuqi asked curiously.
