Chapter 40: Negotiation (II)
Planetary weapon platforms are mobile, albeit slow, but they do move. Therefore, mastering the planetary weapon platform means that the starry sky of the entire star region is under control. If the Dragon King Mercenary Regiment had been floating in the Northwest Star Region in the shape of a fleet, then the Academy would have no way to take them, after all, the planetary weapon platform was too slow to move and was not comparable to the fleet. As long as the fleet of the Dragon King Mercenary Regiment does not enter the attack range of the planetary weapon platform by itself, then the academy can only watch them.
But once the Dragon King mercenary group enters the Cerrado Fortress, it is equivalent to having a fixed target, and once the academy has some thoughts, it can immediately put the Cerrado into the attack range. Therefore, if there is no control of the planetary weapon platform, then the Dragon King Mercenary Group is equivalent to placing itself under the ultra-long-range attack of the academy all the time. If the academy plans to play the trick of "the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks", then the Dragon King mercenary group will be miserable.
But on the other hand, if the control of the planetary weapon platform is really handed over to the Dragon King Mercenary Group, the Dragon King Mercenary Group, which already has air superiority, will not be restricted at all. In this case, it will be the turn of the academy to be uneasy. They were looking for an ally, not a ruler.
> This is very easy to solve. Captain Isaac must have thought of it a long time ago, didn't he?" Su Mu still had the same smiling gentlemanly demeanor. His smile is so sincere that even those who want to deliberately find fault with it are hard to find fault.
& If we want to get rid of all the planetary weapon platforms in the vicinity of Cerrado that can directly attack Cerrado, this problem has been solved. Our original plan was to concentrate all of these planetary weapon platforms on Templar and strengthen Templar's defenses. After all, the Northwest Star Region was designed back then. There is an innate weakness. This weakness is impossible to avoid in a short period of time. So if there really is a war, the Templar Star Field will be a battleground for soldiers. It is very necessary for us to strengthen its defenses!" Since there are negotiations to be held, the two sides have naturally taken all aspects into account.
The kind that does not prepare anything and tries to find a way on the spot at the negotiation site is not called negotiation, but threat, and can only be used between the conqueror and the vanquished. Not at all for allies.
Isaac smiled and closed his eyes again.
Only then did Anne speak again: "We very much agree with the gentleman's headmaster's suggestion. But I have a question!"
"What does Deputy Head Ni mean?" Su Mu actually knew what Annie was going to ask, but he pretended not to know. There are many modes of negotiation, unless you want to dig out some benefits from the other party, otherwise this way of seeing everything through is not good. In particular, this kind of alliance that is beneficial to both sides is naturally the most appropriate to mobilize the atmosphere with your words and my words.
"What should we do with it?" asked Anne.
The location of the star field of the Sensation Star is very peculiar, and its periphery is surrounded by a large and dense meteorite belt, and the meteorite belt is very wide. Its range occupies half of the Ten Thousand Army Star Field, and it would be good if it was only a stationary meteorite belt. It is said that this meteorite belt is active, and from time to time a single tidal wave will occur - like a pair of invisible giant hands, violently shaking the entire meteorite, and then from an original point, the meteorite belt commotion will spread to every corner in a very short time. And far away from the original point, the more powerful the single wave is.
In the event of a single wave, no matter what the strong man is, whether it is the fleet or not, if you don't escape at the first time, there is only a dead end.
Because of the meteorite belt and the single tide wave, it is very safe there for the Armies, and the three major forces will not be stupid enough to put their troops there to attack. Although the Armies are the place with the highest output of soul crystals in the entire Federation, this is not enough to make the three major forces lose their minds.
The size of the Armies is small, only 1.5 times the size of the moon, the moon of the Earth, the home of mankind, and the population is not more than a million--this is also deliberately arranged by the Federation. Because the soul crystal is extremely important, the entire Hosts Star is basically under Noah's supervision, and all the mining work is done by the Jiqì people. The millions of people who live there are all engaged in one profession: logistics management.
The soul crystals taken from the Hosts are transported once a year. At other times, there are almost no starships coming and going, and the meteorite belt has been constantly changing its course due to the single tide wave. Moreover, there is also a spatial interference flow, and it is impossible to use spatial hopping if you want to.
To put it simply, if the Hosts weren't rich in soul crystals, the Federation would never have arranged people here. And Wan Junxing is also like a paradise that has no quarrel with the world, living a small life of self-sufficiency, except for transporting soul crystals outside every year, there is hardly any excessive contact with the outside world.
The Armies didn't even have a complete army, all the defenses were handed over to the Meteorite Belt and the Academy, and now that the Federation was split, the annual delivery of soul crystals naturally fell into the hands of the Academy Association, which had no effect on the Echelons themselves. They didn't care who got the soul crystals. I don't care who is accusing Wan Junxing. As long as you are not brain-dead, you can know the importance of the Hosts. Soul crystals, on the other hand, are renewable resources, but they grow slowly. The requirements for the external environment are extremely high. No fool will fight the war on the Armies Star, once the ecology of the Armies is destroyed, the soul crystal will no longer have to be counted on.
Coupled with the barrier of the meteorite belt, the Armies Star is actually the best place to make a big rear. It's a pity that this kind of thing can only be thought about. Soul crystals are too sensitive to the environment, and too important, for anyone to risk it.
The reason why Anne asked about the Captain Star was not that she really had anything to think of the Armies. She was alluding to the soul crystals that were delivered once a year.
Now the soul crystal has become the bag of the academy, which was originally rationed to the whole federation, and now it is obtained by the academy association, which is definitely a large benefit. Anne naturally wanted a piece of the pie.
Su Mu was also prepared for this question: "Soul crystal, the academy wants everything!"
Anne's face changed, and she was about to say something, when Su Mu continued: "But we can pay with this!" He used his light brain to pass on a piece of information to Anne.
Anne glanced at it, her eyes narrowing.
Standard Lingwu, four generations of modular photonic armor, seven generations of modified human power armor, dragon vulture fighter blueprints and production lines, a starship production line with three large berths.
Any of these five things alone were enough to make people blush, and throwing them out together made Anne suspicious.
Is the academy really so good at talking, and come up with so many good things?
She thought about it carefully and quickly understood Su Mu's methods. Standard Lingwu, four generations of modular photonic armor, and seven generations of modified human power armor, these are indeed quite useful things. However, the main strength of the Dragon King Mercenary Regiment is in space, and it is in the fleet, even if the Dragon King Mercenary Regiment gets these three things? Could it be that the people who give up the battleship and the academy are more powerful than the ground?
The academy with the most advantageous elite in the whole federation can completely defeat the dragon king mercenary group to collapse.
For Anne, the really useful ones are the blueprints and production line of the Eagle Occupancy, as well as the Starship production line with three large berths. But these two things can't be conjured into fighters and starships out of thin air, and if they want to play a role, they are naturally inseparable from the logistical support of the academy.
Arguably. The things given by Su Mu are indeed quite tempting, and no one can say that these things are useless. But these few things are a bit chicken for the Dragon King mercenary group. They need it, but they can't use it to sit big.
"Principal, so calculating!" said Anne quietly.
>> What do Deputy Heads Anne think?" Su Mu smiled slightly.
In fact, Su Mu is not a pit person when he gives such conditions. After all, as long as the alliance between the two sides is maintained, these five things will really have to be given away. Although the first three dragon king mercenary groups are not very useful, it does not mean that they are useless at all. Especially the power armor for the seven generations of transformers, with three-quarters of the Dragon King mercenary group as the composition of the transformers, this is definitely a good thing. As long as the two sides cooperate happily, will the college be able to deduct it?
At the end of the day, cooperation between the two sides is mutually beneficial. The academy lacks space defense forces, and with the Dragon King Mercenary Group, it naturally makes up for this biggest shortcoming. And the Dragon King Mercenary Regiment also lacks a stable logistics base, and with the academy as logistics, they can exert their full strength on the frontal battlefield.
>> Well, I think it's a good condition. Then we can discuss some details!" Anne naturally knew what to choose.
The terms of cooperation of the alliance in principle were negotiated, and the two sides began lengthy detailed discussions. However, this detail is still a general directional thing, and it really has to be specific to each thing, and in the end, it will only be completed by the final contact of the negotiation team.
As the supreme leaders of both sides, it is naturally impossible for everyone to concretize the negotiation into a certain matter, which should be done by their subordinates, not by them.
The whole meeting lasted two days and finally came to a successful conclusion.
Both sides are smart people who know when and what to choose, and as long as there is no conflict of principle, then it is natural to cooperate. Of course, unlike Isaac and Annie, who can be the masters of the Dragon King Mercenary Regiment, the Academy Association is a council-like organization, and although more than two hundred colleges are now united, it is naturally impossible to say that they are completely united from the inside out. So the four of them will have more things to deal with. At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the two sides will not have the following people disobeying each other during the cooperation period. Otherwise, this alliance will turn into a feud before it has even begun, and it will be really bad. (To be continued......)
