Chapter 626: Pacifying the Southeast Star Sea (3)
The Ryloga Star Field, the capital of the Shalestins Alliance.
After years of fierce battles, the vanguard of the Gnaslok Imperial Legion has penetrated deep into the borders of the Alliance, and is now less than 20,000 light-years away from the political and religious center of this great power!
Located in the heart of the continent, the central temple of the capital planet, the Cult of Umuslon, is a complex of golden palaces that stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and all buildings are decorated in gold and white. It was built entirely by the spontaneous donations of the Alliance's trillions of believers! Brick by brick is the most beautiful material that can be found in the Star Sea World!
The central temple is located on the central axis of the palace complex, and its overall height is more than three thousand meters, including the temple base! The main body of the temple is carved and stacked with source crystals mixed with 35 precious gold and white two-color crystals! The tall outer walls are painted with countless exquisite mural patterns, which are full of legends and deeds of the gods!
On both sides of the passage leading to the temple gate, every few meters, stood a temple guard who was heavily armed and standing as tall as a gun, with a grim face and unsquinting eyes, faithfully fulfilling his duty!
At the entrance of the temple, in addition to a large number of higher-level guards, there were also many handsome men and beautiful women wearing white robes, with golden crescents ranging from one to four wheels tattooed on the sleeves of their robes, all of whom were low-ranking priests of the temple.
A middle-aged man dressed in a pale golden robe with a serious and old-fashioned face came out of it, and his sharp eyes looked around for a while, and he saw that many believers were meticulously sticking to their positions, bowing their heads slightly, and a subtle smile appeared on their faces.
His Majesty the Pope is receiving the dignitaries inside, but he doesn't want anything to go wrong outside and affect his old man's good mood! He turned around a few times, and carefully instructed several captains of the guard for a while, and then walked back with confidence.
"Your Majesty, we meet again!"
Deep in the temple, Randall. Patrick said politely to an old man on the throne.
"Hehe, Your Excellency the Special Envoy doesn't have to be polite! Your Majesty's Emperor has always been in our hearts for his help to us! The old man, dressed in white robes, wearing a papal crown and a dignified and kind face, smiled mildly:
"I wonder what good news the envoy has brought us this time?"
Randall smiled slightly: "The foreign minister came here this time to learn about the battle situation between your country and the Gneslock Empire, and then have a more in-depth and detailed discussion on the next step of cooperation!" What do you think, Your Majesty? ”
At the mention of the war, the smile on Innocent VI's face dimmed, and he sighed softly:
"Regrettably, Your Excellency the Special Envoy! The strength of the First Empire is too strong, and with the intervention of foreign civilizations, even with the strength of our two countries, it will be difficult to effectively resist it! Therefore, the current situation is really not optimistic! ”
At this time, a middle-aged woman with blue hair next to him, with a graceful body, jade-like skin, and charming and moving, echoed her words: "The Miliam civilization has torn up the agreement not to directly interfere in the internal affairs of the human world and has begun to take action in person!" With the existing strength of the human world, the price of truly fighting them is really unbearable! ”
This is the supreme consul of the Republic of Surya, Tebesa. Karelina.
With the help of the Starlight Empire's intelligence system, Randall already knew about the war here, and this time he asked, it was just to reconfirm.
Yun Haoyu has never relaxed his attention to the First Empire on the other side of the Star Sea since he started from the Prison Soul Star Sea, and in the process of being busy fighting everywhere, he always tried his best to stumble on it! When the alliance and the empire went to war, the various kinds of assistance he gave to the alliance side had reached an extremely staggering number!
However, at present, no amount of aid can still stop the combined legion of the Gnaslok Empire and the Miliam civilization! In order to prevent the alliance from falling early, the Starlight Empire will bear all the pressure alone, and now it will have to come up with more powerful measures!
Randall asked quietly, "Dear Lady Tebesa, what do you think the current alliance must do to have any hope of curbing the ambitions of the Gnaslock Empire?" In other words, what kind of support can we provide to you in the Starlight Empire to help achieve this goal? ”
Innocent VI and Tebesha looked at each other, and then he spoke:
"Your Excellency, the Starlight Empire is our closest ally! So I won't hide it from you! With the current state of the Union, it is almost impossible to stop the crazy desires of Ulionov IV! Without more foreign aid, we may collapse in half a year to a year! ”
"Although your country has given us a lot of valuable help, ordinary material aid is far from enough to defeat the other side! Unless ......"
He looked at the Supreme Consul, who immediately took over and said, "Unless your country can directly send a fleet to the war, it will be possible to achieve this goal!" ”
Randall's eyes flashed, and he asked with some surprise: "What do you mean, do you want our country to send troops directly?" ”
"Yes! Your Excellency the Special Envoy! Tebeisa affirmed, "Only in this way can the crisis of the alliance be truly alleviated!" Avoid the Gnaslok Empire's ambitions! ”
"That'...... How many fleets do you need to send? What can we do? Randall asked after a moment's pause.
Innocent VI unequivocally said: "The more the merrier, the more the merrier!" ”
“……”
Before leaving, Yun Haoyu already had some understanding of the situation here, and had also considered the possibility of directly sending troops, however, the war in the Southeast Star Sea had not yet ended, and he really couldn't mobilize much strength to meddle in the war of the alliance, not to mention that with the strength of the First Empire, the number of troops sent was small, and it didn't have much effect at all, and there were no two or three million fleets, that was just to send food to others!
Fortunately, the Yilong Empire is already at the end of its life, and it won't be long before it becomes history! At that time, it didn't seem too late to talk about sending troops, and it would be no problem to come to the alliance to support it alone for another two or three months!
Thinking of this, Randall finally said:
"Let's send troops to help you stop the First Empire and the Miriam civilization, it's not impossible! But what's in it for us? How much do you intend to offer in exchange for our support? ”
The essence of politics is the exchange of interests! As much as you want, you naturally have to give! You can't let the fleets and officers and men of the empire shed blood and sacrifice in vain, right?
Innocent VI hesitated for a moment, and said slowly:
"That'...... All right! After your country sends troops and defeats the other side, we will consider 'leasing' a part of the territory to your majesty as a reward for this expedition. ”
Randall was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this answer! The other party was vague and did not give a substantive promise at all!
"Your Majesty, you must understand that the foreign ministers have come to negotiate with you with sufficient sincerity! But your statement really disappointed the foreign minister! Is our aid so cheap? If you think that our Emperor Majesty is so foolish, then there is nothing to talk about between us! He said coldly.
Innocent VI's old face flushed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment: "Your Excellency, we didn't mean to be perfunctory, but this matter is too important and involves many specific interests to divide, so ......"
"Then you're not going to talk about it?" Randall put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table, got up elegantly, and said:
"In that case, then the minister has no choice but to take his leave! Thank you for your hospitality! ”
Tai Beisha hurriedly came out to play a round: "Your Excellency the Special Envoy, please stay, we can continue to discuss this matter!" ”
He glanced at the other party and said lightly: "Discuss? I don't have any problems here, but I don't know, how much time do you have left to negotiate? Ulyonov IV on the other side is pressing very hard! ”
“…… It's better to do this, what kind of conditions do you need us to give before you are willing to send troops on a large scale, Your Excellency, you should put it forward first! Then we'll see if we can meet your requirements! Tebesa smiled.
Randall nodded: "Okay then!" On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I can dispatch no less than two million fleets within two months to assist you in resisting the attack of the Glaslock Empire!" And in the next six months, it will continue to increase to six million! Moreover, it is guaranteed to be the main army of our country, and the quality of both warships and officers and men can be comparable to the most elite fleet of your side! ”
"In exchange, first, you must cede four hundred first-level resource star fields to our country; Second, in the future, you should give at least 50% preferential tariffs to all exported industrial finished products in China; Thirdly, our citizens have the right to legally acquire certain sensitive industries within your territory......"
He said more than 20 articles in a free manner, and then took out a document and said:
"The specific terms are all on this, you can take a closer look, and if there is no problem, we can sign and confirm! As long as this step is completed, our new batch of material assistance can be delivered to you immediately! ”
The faces of these two heads of state couldn't help but turn pale for a while, they never thought that the Starlight Empire's appetite would be so great! Even if the two countries share the benefits, the amount of benefits to be paid is far beyond their bottom line!
"Mr. Special Envoy, is your country's request excessive?" Taibeisha said a little annoyed, and several green veins faintly appeared on her fair-skinned face:
"Even if we agree to such a clause, we will not be able to explain it to the people in the country at all, and in the end it will only become a piece of waste paper, I hope you can understand this!"
"That's your problem!" Randall said disapprerovingly, "Don't forget, we have always provided many batches of aid in a near-gratuitous manner, and from now on, the price we have to pay to repel the First Empire is definitely a difficult to measure!" These conditions are not too much at all! Think about how much land you've lost since the war? ”
"If you find it hard to accept, then we won't care about your business! Keep these supplies and we will deal with Ulionov IV ourselves! With the Bojiang Empire as the backing, we may not be afraid of the Miriam civilization! ”
As a result, several people began to fight over the specific terms of the contract.
After hours of bickering, the two sides finally reached an agreement! And the terms of the agreement are basically in line with the bottom line of the Starlight Empire! There is no way, the initiative is not on the side of the alliance at all, if you turn your face, lose this strong reinforcement, and the alliance will not be able to survive this level at all!
(There is also a more, strive to send it out before midnight!) )
