Chapter 131: Kane's Compromise
Since reading that shocking and mysterious promotional material, Kane's inner world has not been calm for a long time. As a senior outsider, he knows very well that this so-called Xinhua Kingdom is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface! The appearance without warning and the rapid rise of unreasonable common sense made Kane quite jealous. And the other party's self-contained scientific and technological system and almost completely closed national borders make it firmly believe in the judgment in its heart.
As the nod mole hidden deep within GDI transmits more and more real-time intelligence from the Australian front through Legion. Kane finally found the answer he was looking for in the images of the destruction of Gibraltar and the Third Fleet. The so-called government of Xinhua is nothing more than a deceptive pretense, and what is hidden behind it must not be a local force born and raised on the earth.
During the journey back to the South American headquarters, Kane was constantly thinking about the true purpose of the other party's coming to Earth, but due to the lack of sufficient intelligence information, even with nearly a thousand years of experience, it was impossible for him to deduce the truth out of thin air! After all, the intelligent civilizations in the universe are far more colorful than you think, and the military strength displayed by the other side on the battlefield in Australia is far from the technological level of destroying GDI cities and fleets. It becomes even more difficult for peers who are so deliberately concealed to determine their true identity.
However, Kane is sure of one thing, that is, the true strength of the so-called Xinhua Kingdom is definitely stronger than it appears on the surface. It is not even known that the other party is even more powerful than the group of alien visitors he will attract in the future.
As soon as the main fleet of the expedition to Australia returned to its headquarters in South America, Kane began to consider how to deal with the actual relationship with this emerging power. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the news reports about the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the Xinhua government and GDI suddenly appeared in the world's major media, but Kane, who had no coping strategy, became even more helpless. After all, once these two forces are truly united, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophic consequence for the NOD that has not yet completed the integration! At that time, let alone what ascension plan you will implement, whether you can survive until that time has become a big question! It's just that Kane at this time is not clear about the actual relationship between the Xinhua government and GDI, and it is definitely not as perfect and harmonious as reported by CNN, and the peace agreement between the two sides is just an expedient compromise.
After a short period of thought, Kane weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to let Legion take the initiative to get in touch with Xinhuaguo as soon as possible in order to grasp the initiative and at the same time test the details of the other party. Although doing so will make you look very passive, but the current situation is stronger than people, since the strength is not good, then you can only lower your body and take the initiative.
Noah: "My most respected master. There is a communication message from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that you need to deal with personally. Oh yes, that communication came from a guy from South America who claimed to be the Prophet Kane. At this moment, Li Feng was not in a hurry to deal with this matter, after all, the situation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was nothing more than a matter of details related to the GDI treaty, and even if it was delayed, it would not affect the overall situation that had been established between the two sides. However, if we do not solve the many problems and loopholes leaked by the combat units in the Australian War as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will have a great negative impact on my future hegemony career. It's just that Noah's subsequent words dispelled Li Feng's plan to hold a military review meeting immediately, and focused all his attention on Kane, the cult leader who took the initiative to find him.
Li Feng: "Noah, help me inform all the military representatives that the meeting has been postponed for 2 hours for the time being. If they ask for a specific reason, you say that the peace agreement with the GDI is a little troublesome and that I need to decide for myself. And the matter of my correspondence with Kane has been classified as top secret, so that those Foreign Ministry officials who know about it are careful about their mouths. If it leaks out, don't blame me for being unsympathetic, pulling them out and shooting them one by one. Oh yes! And one last thing, Noah, you're gasping for breath the next time you speak. Your well-made human clone, don't blame me for replacing her face with Sister Feng's! ”
Noah in his heart: "#%......&......&......*¥¥%¥!" ”
Li Feng naturally didn't know that he had been degraded by Noah to a paramecium-like existence, and his current mind had long been spent on how to squeeze this alien friend who delivered to his door. As the earthlings in the world who know the most about Kane's old bottom, Li Feng had already thought about how to entertain him before coming to this plane, the man of the year who pushed the Soviet Union to its peak and then single-handedly destroyed it.
Noah looked at Li Feng's evil and obscene smile at him, and his heart was a little hairy. Could it be that your thoughts have been leaked? Just as she was considering whether to confess leniency and take the initiative to admit her mistakes, Li Feng unexpectedly connected to Kane's real-time communication. made Noah depressed to find that he was really thinking too much!
With the appearance of Kane, a middle-aged man with his trademark bald head and a moustache stubble, on the big screen, Li Feng finally meets the alien uncle who almost brought the Earth to a desperate situation with the Tibersian mine. With a complicated and tangled mood, Li Feng resisted the urge not to scold him, and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying. And the other party's expression was not as calm as Li Feng's, after all, a human young man who looked to be in his twenties was actually the mysterious leader of the Xinhua Kingdom. This made Kane, who had read countless people and was familiar with the detailed information of countless alien civilizations and races, also muttered in his heart. Could it be that I really guessed wrong? But soon this idea of his was put out of his mind, and the truth of the facts was there, and his judgment would never be wrong.
Li Feng then said in a slightly ridiculous tone: "Hello! Prophet Kane. My name is Li Feng, the supreme leader of the Xinhua government. I have admired your name for a long time, and I don't know what you are looking for me for? Li Feng spoke quickly and naturally, and he didn't seem to treat the other party as an enemy, but the tone of his voice was a little disrespectful. Kane, who is known for his treacherous and cunning, didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, but unknowingly listed Li Feng as an opponent to watch out for. It's just that the actual situation is just the opposite, what Li Feng said doesn't mean anything else at all, it's just what he said casually. It seems that thinking too much about this kind of thing, the smarter the person, the easier it is to do it. Of course, there are exceptions, and Noah's pit dad brain with low IQ and EQ is one of them.
Kane opened his mouth and said, "Dear Your Excellency Li Feng, in fact, my purpose is to have in-depth cooperation with you. We don't talk darkly, such a huge planet, I think it will not be easy for your newcomers to complete the occupation as soon as possible. It would be better for each of us to take what we need and form an alliance to solve the indigenous civilization here. I wonder what you think? After saying these words, Kane kept staring at Li Feng with his deep eyes, as if trying to find his true thoughts from them. But it's a pity that Li Feng is not an alien in the first place, so naturally he can't find the greedy expression as an invader. Except for the surprise that flashed on his face, there were no major flaws. Let the idea of judging the alien race by body language finally fail.
Li Feng's mental activity at the moment was not as calm as his face showed, and the secret that he thought no one knew was so easily discovered by Kane. But just as he was about to confess, he suddenly remembered that in what this guy said, it seemed that he had only guessed half right. Since he thinks I'm some alien, I'll just pretend to be that. Anyway, there is no big actual conflict between my future goals and the other party. If you can win over this guy, it will be beneficial and harmless to your future hegemony.
Li Feng then continued: "Your vision is indeed good. I am indeed not a human being of this world. But I won't tell you who I really am just yet. But since we are all strangers, I can make an exception to tell you that I am here to establish a tourist resort for the whole universe under my rule. Of course, before I do that, I'm going to get rid of the broken ores that grow too quickly and affect the quality of the planet's environment. I wonder if my purpose conflicts with your goal of coming to this primordial planet? If it's okay, then we can have this cooperation. Of course, we can discuss the matter of the stone slowly, and I don't have to remove that thing! Of course, Li Feng knew that his true purpose did not have any conflict with the other party, but in order to give Kane's guy a kick, so that he could blackmail him like a lion in a while, the rest of the words were completely nonsense. After all, the value of that kind of ore is of great significance to Li Feng now, how can he do such a stupid thing to ask for his own hardships!
Kane had no interest in ruling the earth, otherwise the Soviet Union would have completely defeated the Allies and unified the world. It's just that when he heard that Li Feng planned to clear the Tebersia ore in the future, the whole person's facial expression was not as calm and calm as it was at the beginning. After all, if the Tiberthia mines were gone, there would be no planned explosion. And in this way, the visitors will not be tricked into mining on this planet. Then his plan to snatch the opponent's giant tower and go home in the future will never be realized.
In the face of Li Feng's straightforward statement, Kane, who was caught at the point, naturally knew very well that the other party's so-called establishment of a vacation planet was just a lame excuse to blackmail himself. From the unconsciously revealed expression and greedy eyes on the other party's face, Kane already understood that if he didn't make some blood this time, I am afraid that this mysterious young man will definitely not give up. The only thing that puzzled him was that his plans never seemed to be leaked to anyone. How did Li Feng, who is also an outsider, find out?
Kane took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and continued, "Your Excellency Li Feng, what exactly do you need to make you abandon your plan to remove ore? As long as it's not too demanding, I'll grant you your wishes. But I want you to make sure you can also make sure that you can't touch my bottom line. First, you can't interfere with Eastern Europe and Italy, that's my territory, and Italy is where Tiberium first appeared, and you don't have to think about it to know that it has a special meaning; Secondly, Australia, I know that you have occupied a piece of territory in the northwest corner of Australia, but the central part of Australia is going to be the new red zone, and you can't interfere with the red zone. Thirdly, as an ally, I hope that you will fulfill your responsibilities as an ally and cooperate as much as possible with my military operations against GDI around the world. Of course, at the end of the day, I want you to prove that you have the ability to remove the world's Tibersian ore, after all, it doesn't feel good to be deceived! ”
Li Feng listened to Kane, who was talking eloquently, and felt quite uncomfortable. For this alien soul who almost wiped out the human race, Li Feng's impression of him was not much better. Especially the last request of the other party, which made Li Feng feel very unhappy. But in order to be able to stabilize the alliance with the other party as soon as possible, he obtained the research results of the nod Tibersian ore that Noah could not steal. Li Feng still decided to have a limited cooperation and exchange with Kane. The so-called sky-high asking price to repay the money on the spot, of course, Li Feng could not accept all the other party's conditions in full. So soon Li Feng also opened his own negotiation bottom line.
Li Feng said his conditions and requirements in a tough tone: "First of all, I don't have any opinions on the first and second articles, as for the third article, I can only guarantee selective support, after all, the purpose of my coming to this planet is not to work for day jobs, and now I have reached a certain degree of understanding with GDI." So if I want to make a move, I have to pay a sufficient price. And no matter how many troops I send, I must have independent battlefield command, and you must not send them to serve as cannon fodder for any reason. As for the last one, it is not too difficult, I will send you all the relevant information for that device. But you have to unilaterally open all the technology of the NOD to me, after all, that technology is a high-level civilization thing, not comparable to the cabbage of the bad street. If you can, you'd better send me the secrets of Tiberia, the secrets of Tasitus, and the secrets of the alien Zerg Sijin, and I'll have to bother with it later. After saying this, Li Feng felt as if he had said something, but the words had already been spoken, and there was no way to change them.
At this time, a strange color suddenly appeared in Kane's eyes when he heard all this, but this look disappeared in a flash, and he immediately returned to normal. Kane became more and more jealous of this mysterious young man who knew everything. Li Feng didn't know that the sentence he casually leaked unintentionally had already made Kane on the other side include him in the list of dangerous people who must not be offended. And this makes the alliance between Xinhuaguo and nod stronger than GDI, which is really unacceptable. Sure enough, the fear of the unknown is inevitable for any living being. Even wise and powerful aliens are not exempt from this.
Kane laughed, "I'm afraid it's impossible to open up all the technology, but I can guarantee that all the research on Tiberium ore will be shared with you and me." As for the secrets of the aliens, I will tell you when the time is right. As for Tacitus, I can only say that this thing is not in my possession for the time being, but I still have the exact coordinates. When the time comes, everyone will work together to grab it back and study it together. What do you think of you, Your Excellency Li Feng?
"Okay, deal!" Li Feng saw that his purpose had been overachieved, and he did not continue to dwell on those two secrets. Anyway, his understanding of the world is no worse than Kane's. Since he didn't want to say it, there was no need to force it. As a result, all the equipment and manufacturing technology for processing Tibersian ore soon came from Noah to Legion. And Kane, who has always had a strong psychological quality, was also a little frightened and extremely surprised after seeing the unfathomable set of advanced equipment.
Because this advanced technology that can be used both military and civilian contains things that are definitely not inferior to the teleportation technology of the Sijin people, and once it is applied in the military, I am afraid that the carbon-based organisms of the entire world will be spared. And with the large amount of resources at his disposal, even if he has a complete set of drawings and corresponding theoretical support, I am afraid that he will not be able to succeed in manufacturing in a thousand years. An alien civilization that dares to use such terrible technology as a quid pro quo is either extremely stupid or quite confident in its own strength.
The shameless Li Feng not only temporarily stabilized GDI, but also turned the nod direct forces led by Kane, the other party's sworn enemy, into his temporary allies. In the next conflict between the two sides, Xinhua will play a very interesting role. In the final analysis, it's nothing more than getting on it if it's cheap, and getting out of here if there's no benefit!
