Chapter 309: Vassal Agreement
The huge venue, the rostrum is like a pyramid hanging in the air, surrounded by large metal columns standing in a sea of streamers, and there are multiple positions in the hollow grooves at the top of the columns.
Li Qing entered the venue with the two lords, and sat down in the metal pillar that belonged to them according to the number plate issued at the entrance.
Looking up, there is a beautiful floating sculpture, no lighting, but there is a soft light sprinkled, and the inside of the venue is as clear as day.
The clouds and mist shrouded under the hollow metal pillars are like bottomless valleys.
Above each of the hollow metal pillars stood several strange-looking figures, races from different civilizations gathered together to await His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the Fionoo Empire.
Li Qingjing sat motionless on the seat at the top of the metal pillar belonging to the human race, and the three of them did not chat, what should have been said was already said.
This meeting was mainly made by Ye Cangqiong, the representative of the human race, who just added and made a soy sauce.
There was not even a chance to speak, and His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of Fiono was not necessarily interested in his contact with the Ida Recorder, and he did not necessarily have the opportunity to speak to His Majesty the Supreme Emperor alone.
At a certain moment, the sky suddenly brightened a little, and then Li Qing felt an inexplicable threat coming, he quickly turned his head, and saw a stream of light falling from the dome of the central rostrum, turning into figures that exuded terrifying spiritual energy that made him feel suffocated.
Four fiose, rippling and twisted, stood around the central throne, and the hidden terrifying aura made everyone feel a little nervous.
"Immortal psionics!"
A full four immortal-level psionics appeared, bowing their heads slightly towards the center, the void distorted slightly, and a phantom quickly turned from void to reality, as if it appeared out of thin air.
"It's so powerful!"
It is worthy of being a high-level civilization, and the entire United Empire of Mankind has not yet had an immortal-level psion, and it is too extravagant for the supreme emperor of the Fionoo Revival Empire to have four immortal-level psionics as guards.
When the figure turned from virtual to real, an even more terrifying coercion rushed in.
Li Qing's whole person subconsciously leaned back, and his face felt a trace of pain.
He was a little shocked, this invisible coercion actually produced a physical touch like a blade, it was too perverted.
Li Qing was almost certain that the supreme emperor of the Fionoo Revival Empire would definitely not be inferior to the Nasarnoo Destruction Juggernaut.
You must know that one is an individual and the other is the leader of the swarm, and you can borrow the power of all the individuals in the entire swarm.
No wonder the Star Sea Lord has the ability to become the supreme emperor among all the Feio, this strength is also too terrifying.
Although such a powerful spiritual energy did not play much role in the battle of heaven, it was impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to take action in person, and it would definitely be a final battle related to victory or defeat at that point, but the strength of the ruler could greatly affect the morale of his subordinates.
In addition to this, the Supreme Ruler has such a powerful psionic ability, in addition to the psionic energy itself, the psionic trait itself is also equivalent to a powerful BUFF.
When the psionics reach this point, the effect is not the tens of percent bonuses that they did when they first became psionics, but a very, very powerful buff, which is definitely not inferior to the powerful talent of the negative star.
....New Psyker.
A psionic ascension.
The second stage of psionic energy ascends.
Three-stage psionic ascension.
Immortal psionics.....
Each time you increase the level, the effect of the Psyker's buff will increase by a cut.
The twenty percent bonus is enhanced four or five times, and God knows how far it can go.
And as the ruler of the Fionoo Revival Empire, his ability basically works on the entire Revival Empire.
Li Qinghui thought about Tigra's strength, although he had inherited immortal-level spiritual energy from Ida's instructor, he was sure that he was definitely not comparable to His Majesty the Supreme Emperor in front of him, and it was estimated that it was not much different from these four guards.
It stands to reason that there should be a huge gap in strength between the two sides, why did the Aida Mentor challenge the Fionoo Revivalist at this time?
Was it discovered and had to rise again?
Or do you have other backgrounds and hole cards that you have the confidence to fight against the Fionoo revivalist?
Li Qing didn't know.
If he could, he would have liked to remain neutral.
But the situation left him with no choice, the two powerful civilizations chose to take sides, and if the human race did not want to be besieged by the Bruwan Union and the Kair Zaka Star Sea Empire, they could only choose to take sides, and neutrality would definitely die.
"Brain pain!"
It is difficult to achieve satisfactory results, and most of the time it is unsatisfactory, and we can only find the most suitable route for our own interests in this complicated situation.
The best route for mankind at this time is only to stand in line with the Fionoo revivalist.
With the advent of the Supreme Emperor Fionoo, the meeting officially began.
After a formulaic opening statement, a Fionoo diplomat presided over the meeting in place of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor.
It is estimated that they have awakened from the depraved state and no longer degenerate, and the efficiency of the Fei's work is higher than they imagined, and soon a vassal agreement appeared in front of Li Qing.
Ye Cangqiong glanced at the agreement and said in a low voice:
"Let's take a look at the agreement, see what is not suitable for us to bring up, and I'll negotiate with them later."
The vassal agreement can be negotiated, and the specific conditions to be negotiated depend on the ability of the representatives of both sides, as well as their own strength and role.
Powerful civilizations naturally have more lenient vassal agreements than weak civilizations, and you can't expect the United Empire of Shata to gain the same status as the United Empire of Humanity.
Li Qing took a closer look at the vassal agreement, which was mainly composed of several aspects.
Part 1: Suzerainty Obligations.
Fionoo's Restoration of the Empire to the United Empire of Humanity was conditional on guaranteeing the United Empire of Humanity limited autonomy and limited diplomatic rights, and allowing them to retain their existing territory, but not to expand into the Silver Plate region.
In other words, no matter how the situation changes in the future, the territory of humanity is limited to the Immortal spiral arm.
Even if Fiono's revival empire wins the battle of heaven in the future and annexes the territory of Ada's guide and all his supporters, it will have nothing to do with humanity, and their power will be limited to the Perseus Spiral Arm.
This is actually not too big a problem, it is really going to win, and it is actually very cool to be able to occupy the Yingxian spiral arm.
Limited autonomy is further subdivided into several main permissions, of which site restriction is also one of the major items.
Limited diplomatic rights refer to diplomatic restrictions, and after becoming vassals, human beings are no longer allowed to claim any territory outside the Immortal Spiral Arm, and cannot conclude many diplomatic rights with other civilizations, including guaranteeing independence and alliances.
In addition to this, the overlord will guarantee the security and territorial integrity of the vassal, and any civilization that declares war on humanity will be considered a declaration of war against the overlord, and Fionoo can participate in the war.
Part II: Obligations of vassal states.
There are two main aspects of the vassal state obligation under the agreement, on the one hand, the standard obligation, and on the other hand, the war obligation.
There are many standard obligations, from which human civilization is free to choose.
Either it will become a vassal of the supply of resources, and it will be necessary to pay a large amount of tribute to the suzerainty every year, mainly refined steel, and various rare minerals, and the specific amount of tribute has not yet been determined.
Either it becomes a military supply vassal, and the vassal country needs to assemble a large fleet ready to participate in the overlord's foreign wars.
To put it bluntly, it is to be cannon fodder.
Either it will become a talent-based supply vassal, and the suzerainty will send military instructors to the vassal country to train various professional talents, and the vassal country needs to send a large number of trained and qualified talents to serve in the suzerainty every year.
There is no need to expect high-end talents, most of them are basic professional talents, such as various crew members.
As for the war obligation, it refers to the initiative of the vassal state in the war of the suzerain, and there are also two types, one is a limited war obligation and the other is an unlimited war obligation.
Needless to say, unlimited war obligations, any war vassals of the overlord are involved.
Limited war obligations are only required to participate in the wars specified in the agreement, and unless otherwise specified, generally refer to defensive wars.
In other words, if the suzerainty takes the initiative to declare war on other civilizations, human civilization does not need to participate.
But if other civilizations declare war on their overlords, human civilization will have to participate.
Basically, these are the main bodies of the agreement, and the specific rights and prostheses are included in this framework, but what rights and obligations different civilizations can obtain depends on the strength of their own civilizations, the role they can play, and their negotiation skills.
In this regard, Li Qing said that this has nothing to do with me, and that it is the matter of the head of the regiment to negotiate or something, and he will at most provide some opinions on the side.
The Fionoo Revival Empire gave the civilizations a whopping two hours to review the agreement, and it is worth mentioning that His Majesty the Supreme Emperor had already left halfway through, leaving only a psionic avatar, and of course, a large number of diplomats, several one-to-one to negotiate vassal agreements with the civilizations present.
Next, Ye Cangqiong sat face-to-face with the three Fei'an diplomats and began to negotiate many clauses in the agreement one by one.
Li Qing and Xiao Bieli listened and listened to their negotiations one by one.
I have to say that the ability of any Star Sea Lord is still extremely powerful, even if ordinary people live for tens of thousands of years, they can become adults, not to mention that the one who can become the Star Sea Lord must not be an ordinary person, Ye Cangqiong is not afraid because of facing the future sect master, and fights for the benefit of the entire civilization, from time to time I see him staring at the opposite side with round eyes, and even slapping the table in order to fight for better conditions in a certain clause.
....One thing to say, putting aside character and relationships, there is no waste for the lords or military masters of the Star Sea, all of them are absolute elites.
Even the several military masters of the Baji Consortium who have a grudge against Li Qing are also elites with outstanding abilities, and Li Qing can't be messed up just because no one expected that he would have the universe in his palm to open up.
If there were no universe in the palm of their hand, with the strength they had at their disposal, they would not need to make a move at all, and any of the five super consortiums in their alliance would be able to play a small lord to death.
As time went on, the negotiations on the terms were concluded, and soon came to the end of the negotiations, with a dispute over several additional clauses.
Li Qing watched the negotiation throughout the whole process, and all the agreements were not completely satisfactory, but he was able to obtain the best conditions that could be obtained.
And then there are the two additional terms.
The first add-on is that human civilization needs to prepare a fleet of at least one Mobile Battlestar, ten Moons of War, one hundred Mobile Fortresses, and one thousand Standard Divisions to participate in the Battle of Paradise within one year of signing the agreement.
It is also required that a god general must be sent to serve in this fleet.
The second additional clause is that human civilization needs to prepare an extremely exaggerated amount of material support for the Paradise War within a year after the agreement is signed.
It is worth mentioning that this additional clause is the minimum standard, which can be increased optionally, and the amount of fleets and supplies sent at the same time will determine the attitude of the overlord.
The diplomats of the Fionoro Revival Empire told them very clearly that if they supported enough fleets and supplies, they could adjust the terms of the previous agreement and obtain a more favorable agreement for them.
"We need to negotiate this."
Ye Cangqiong neither refused nor agreed.
Fionoo's diplomat nodded and said:
"You must know that the battle for heaven is both a danger and an opportunity, and you should consider it."
Ye Cangqiong nodded seriously and said:
"We'll think about it."
The Feo diplomat said:
"You have a month to think about it, and you can contact me at any time during that time, and you know how to contact me."
"Okay."
The first meeting ended quickly, and the next diplomatic conference would begin in ten days, which would be a time for civilizations to discuss and prepare for the contact with their countries.
When he returned to his residence, Li Qing immediately received a reminder that the provisional senatorial council was convened.
Twenty-four hours later, Li Qing stepped into the Da Luo Heavenly Palace again.
"This should be the third temporary meeting of the senators this year!"
Stepping into the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, Li Qing was surprised to find that there were only lords and military lords in this meeting, and no other minor lords were found.
Soon after, during the formal meeting, Xiao Bideli Lord explained, considering that this meeting was not suitable for too many people to know for the time being, so he did not notify the other minor lords.
Also, whether it is to transfer the fleet to participate in the Battle of Heaven or to gather resources, they are all raised by the lords and military masters, and they will not be asked to raise by the small lords and ordinary players, so there is naturally no need to notify them.
What rights correspond to what obligations, as the actual rulers of the United Empire of Mankind, they have corresponding obligations while enjoying the right to rule, and they are the first to bear the brunt of anything.
There was nothing to discuss in the meeting, the main thing was to assign tasks, and each lord supported a fleet and supplies according to their rank and status.
Li Qing supported a regular mobile fortress with a full ten divisions.
It just so happens that the fleet is now ready to be completely upgraded to a seventh-level dreadnought division, and the original regular fleet can just be pulled out to make a difference.
As for the supplies, it's even better to say that he lacks nothing and no minerals now.
However, after assigning the basic tasks, there was a struggle over which god general to serve and whether an additional fleet would be needed to participate in the battle for heaven.
God will definitely tune it, but it's a question of which one to tune.
The main thing is to transfer how many additional fleets to participate in the Battle of Paradise.
Adjusting multi-fleet support can please the overlord and gain higher autonomy, but if you adjust too much, it will affect your own strength, and your ability to resist risks will be greatly reduced when facing the attack of Bruwan United.
