Chapter 353: Conditions for Becoming a Domain Master
Xia Fei felt a little dizzy, the war in the three-star domain of death had not yet begun, and the trace of the Garden of Eden had not yet appeared, and now the old neighbors of mankind, the Zerg, were ready to move again? Is an interstellar age really coming?
After thousands of years of peace, it may really have reached an irreversible node, and all these signs indicate that the world is coming.
Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei took a deep breath, "General William, since you called me here today, you must have something important to tell me, Xia Fei is not the unobtrusive person, this place is very clean, you might as well say it directly." ”
"Not bad." Williamson's eyes flashed and he said: "Originally, I should have told you about this matter in a few days, but I considered that your situation is quite special and you don't have too deep roots in the alliance, so I decided to inform you in advance, so that you can prepare early." ”
After a pause, William Song said in a deep voice: "At this moment, the envoy of the Zerg has already met with the president and cabinet members in the capital. ”
Xia Fei was stunned, "At this point in time? Where did the Zerg messenger come from? ”
Williamson smiled slightly, "According to them, it is for the trade between the two races, since the last millennium war, the human race and the Zerg have been in a tense confrontation, except for a small amount of smuggling in the Wilderness Star Field, there is no commercial activity, and now the Zerg suddenly proposed to trade and open the Wilderness Star Domain as a free trade zone, what do you think is the biggest possibility?" ”
Xia Fei thought for a moment, "Once the bilateral trade begins, a large number of spies can be sent to the side of the Human Alliance to engage in intelligence gathering, and even directly carry out military operations on the spot, if I guess, this is likely to be a prelude to war." ”
William Song looked at Xia Fei with satisfaction, "General Tai and I think the same thing, do you think the alliance government will agree to trade with the Zerg?" ”
Xia Fei said: "It depends on the specific conditions, the alliance is business-oriented, and being able to trade with the Zerg is a good choice for many merchants, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, the alliance will definitely agree to open bilateral trade with them, but it also depends on the attitude of the military department, if the military department refuses strongly, the alliance will also consider the stakes." ”
"Will the military department be tough against it?" Williamson asked again.
Xia Fei smiled, "No, General Tai is a smart person, assuming that the Zerg must fight, then whether trade will not have any impact on the result, since the result is doomed, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to trade and ruthlessly Y Zerg, of course, the Zerg will not let go of the opportunity to disturb the Alliance, when the time comes, everyone will be the same, it depends on whose means are more ruthless, who will be able to take the lead." ”
William Song couldn't help but applaud, "Xia Fei, Xia Fei, you are simply a roundworm in General Tai's stomach, all of this was guessed by you." ”
Xia Fei shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "I'm just trying to think about what would happen if all this was put on me. ”
"Yes, as you said, the military department will not only not interfere in this matter but will also vigorously promote it, the enemy's minions have been exposed, and now what needs to be done is to stick the nail all the way into the heart of the Zerg." Williamson said coldly.
Xia Fei sighed slightly, "Your Excellency General, it is said that these should be the top secrets of the military department, why do you want to tell me?" I'm just a civilian. ”
Williamson shook his head, "No, this matter has a lot to do with you. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xia Fei wondered.
William Song said: "The details of the trade between the two sides are like this, first, the Wilderness Star Field is completely open and all merchants are allowed to enter, and second, some top merchants are allowed to enter their respective territories and go deep into their interior to carry out trade activities. ”
Xia Fei said: "In this way, it is to classify the Wilderness Star Domain as a free trade zone, and issue access permits to some merchants and allow them to trade in the territory. ”
"In this case, I am afraid that the Wilderness Star Domain will soon become a battlefield for the two sides to wrestle secretly, and as for those merchants who enter the territory, they will also become the vanguard of the war."
"Yesterday, you and General Tai talked to me for a long time, didn't you want me to be the first batch of merchant representatives to enter the Zerg territory?"
Williamson nodded, "You're right. ”
Xia Fei said helplessly: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, if you are engaged in espionage work, the military department will send someone directly, why should we be involved?" ”
William Song said: "The highly intelligent people in the Zerg are not stupid, they put forward a requirement for the caravan entering the territory, which must be directly led by the first person in charge of the company, which stumped us. ”
Xia Fei pondered for a long time, "What a vicious trick, how can the person in charge of a top-level enterprise easily risk his life, and let the richest businessmen in the alliance enter the territory of the Zerg, I am afraid that many people are unwilling, let alone let them secretly carry out espionage work in the territory of the Zerg, and it is even more impossible to fight back on the spot." ”
Williamson smiled slightly, "It's true that we can have soldiers disguised as retinues and follow the caravan into the interior of the Zerg, but we must first find top merchants who are willing to risk their lives for the alliance and the military department." ”
Xia Fei said: "Isn't it okay to let people sneak in quietly and not tell these merchants?" ”
William Song said: "It's not that simple, the caravan is engaged in trade as its own responsibility, let's say you stay in a certain place for three days, the trade is completed, and the espionage work will take two days to complete, then if the caravan leaves immediately, then our intelligence officers must stop the work at hand, follow the team and leave, even if it is only a little work that can be completed, must be abandoned." ”
"Therefore, the caravan and the military department must always be aligned, and the caravan must give up its own interests to serve the military department when necessary"
Xia Fei said: "This requirement can be described as harsh, since the military department has a plan to go toe-to-toe with the Zerg, then whoever leads the caravan to the territory of the Zerg at this time is simply going to die, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless the interests are big enough for those top tycoons to be willing to risk their lives to open the way for the military, no one is willing to risk their lives, and of course, as a top businessman, even a powerful military department may not be able to come up with the corresponding conditions." Xia Fei said slowly.
In fact, Xia Fei knows very well why the three giants of the military department take a fancy to him, it is true that Quantum Company is a *-level supplier of the military department, and this name alone can indeed rank among the top merchants in the alliance, but Quantum Company is very weak, and it has just become a first-class supplier for a few days, so the three giants agree that Xia Fei is one of the merchants who are most likely to go for him.
And Xia Fei's identity is also special, in addition to being a businessman, he is also a good soldier, with force, insight, and qualifications, and all kinds of conditions will accumulate together to be listed as the main target of this secret operation by the three giants of the military department.
"I knew you would say that, as far as I know, you have always believed in the cost theory, as long as the risk is proportional to the benefit, you are willing to work for it, say, what kind of reward do you want?" Williamson laughed.
"Don't dare, I'm just casually, but the strategist in this Zerg is really scheming, he knows the inferior roots of human beings very well, the more powerful he is, the more greedy he is for life and fear of death, while the Zerg side is the opposite, they implement primitive feudal rule, and they can use all kinds of means to force merchants to be spies." Xia Fei diverted the topic.
Of course, he will not openly negotiate conditions with the three giants of the military department, he can only wait for them to make a price by themselves, in addition to the price, Xia Fei has a very important criterion, that is, how sincere the other party is, if the other party is not sincere, even if the price is high, Xia Fei will not agree, you must know that the offer is one thing, and it is another thing to cash out.
William Song said: "Don't be clever and divert from my topic, I heard that you really want to make a place in the Death Three Star Domain?" ”
Xia Fei was slightly stunned and said, "General William, you know everything?" ”
"Hmph, what does the military department do? Your little trick can be hidden from others but not from us, but then again, you really have a good sense of judgment of the current situation, and the cabinet's ideas coincide with yours, all they want is to die and still belong to the alliance, but they are not willing to spend a lot of money to build that poor country. As long as the military department nods, your wish will be easily fulfilled, otherwise you will die of that heart. ”
Xia Fei said helplessly: "It seems that you are not giving me a chance to choose?" ”
"Who said that, I have already given the opportunity, don't you want the Jedi Star Field, after the matter is completed, the entire Jedi Star Field will be yours."
"The entire starfield?" Xia Fei couldn't believe his ears, his original plan was just to circle a piece of land in the Jedi Star Field, and William Song wanted to give him the ownership of the entire Star Field as soon as he opened his mouth
"That's right, but the alliance won't give you a penny of subsidies, how the entire star field develops depends entirely on your own strength, of course, if there is any benefit from this star field, it is also yours, how you manage it is your freedom, but if the local people are dissatisfied with anger and rebel, the alliance will immediately take back the Jedi star field."
Xia Fei asked in a deep voice, "What do you need me to do?"
Such a generous reward made Xia Fei's heart moved, when the time came, he would have the right to rule a star field, that is, the domain master himself could do whatever he wanted in the Jedi Star Field, and no one would come to interfere.
"Tai's original intention was just to let you bring people in to spy on intelligence, thanks to your reminder a few days ago, Tai changed his plan, and now you not only have to cooperate with the military department's actions throughout the process, but also be responsible for the implementation of the destruction plan."
"Plan of Destruction?"
"Yes, once the battle begins, you must cooperate with the military department to eliminate the Golden Tent from the inside in one fell swoop."
Xia Fei was speechless for a while, this was really shooting himself in the foot, because this idea was not someone else, it was he who came up with it.
"I agree." Xia Fei nodded.
William Song smiled and patted Xia Fei's shoulder, "I knew you wouldn't refuse, now you still have a month to prepare, what to do, you don't need me to remind you, right?" ”
