772 Conquering first order begins with business cooperation
Although ning Chengqi wanted to refute, it was indeed the case based on the conditions he had offered.
Mr. Lin, you may not know this since you’ve just entered space, but compared to super-large spacecrafts, advanced knowledge is the most precious resource in space. Personal strength will always be above external equipment. This condition will be beneficial to you and your subordinates in the long run. I hope you can seriously consider my suggestion.
Ning Chengqi’s face did not show any embarrassment from the beginning to the end, as if as long as he was not embarrassed, the others would be embarrassed.
Link stared at ning Chengqi. Neither of them was at a disadvantage in the battle of Qi.
commander ning, ” said link after a while, ” I think you have a bright future in diplomacy as well. You should consider it.
For a moment, ning Chengqi could not tell if link was being sincere or sarcastic.
thank you for your advice, Mr. Lin. I will pay more attention to this in the future. After all, it’s not a burden to have more skills when traveling in the Fandi Galaxy!
As the two of them exchanged words, the others remained silent, carefully analyzing the underlying meaning of their words. However, there were also exceptions. The macaw sat in its seat with its eyes closed and its stomach rising and falling. Its metal beak opened and breathed in and out gas. It seemed to be asleep.
Max, the electronics boy, looked at the macaw beside him with admiration. It was able to remain so calm in such a big confrontation. It was no wonder that it was the head of state’s right-hand man. Everyone else looked nervous or indignant, but the macaw wasn’t afraid at all. It didn’t react at all. This level of composure could be described as ” as steady as Mount Tai.
Oh, by the way, the wind-chasing Piao Rou had also told him a story about how Zhuge Kongming was a strategic master, but he knew the world’s situation in Longzhong. The macaw’s indifferent attitude was so similar to Kong Ming’s that it could be called the ” Crouching Dragon ” of the wasteland Expeditionary Army.
The messenger of Victoria was ignored, but no one was angry.
According to ning Chengqi’s description, the first order organization had existed for more than a thousand years and had a deep foundation. The advanced knowledge that he spoke of was an existence that they could not reach. On the other hand, Link’s response was calm and did not seem to be at a disadvantage. In fact, it made them feel that siding with the wasteland Expeditionary Army was the right choice.
Perhaps the Prophet had seen through everything in advance, which was why he had sent his Butler Alfred to represent him.
Link shrugged helplessly. since this is the best condition you can offer, then my answer is that I’m sorry, Qingqing. I’m not blessed enough to enjoy the many rewards of the first-rank.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing Link’s formal and decisive rejection, ning Chengqi was disappointed. However, this was indeed the best treatment ning Chengqi could think of.
Vice-captain was just a title. Usually, link still had the control of the mechanical fortress, but Turing was the captain. Also, when the first-order formed a strategic fleet, link would only need to follow orders.
From Link’s tone, he seemed to be unhappy with the vice-captain’s position. He seemed to want to have full control of the mechanical fortress, but that was unacceptable for first-rank. Such a powerful ‘divine weapon’ had to be in his own hands in order to eliminate all unstable factors.
This was already beyond the scope of ning chengye’s decision, but if he refused, ning chengye felt that the loss of the first order would be greater.
if you don’t mind, Mr. Lin, I can contact my home planet and report to leader Turing. Perhaps I can fight for more rights.
link smiled and shook his head. he could only say that the first-rank had not changed at all from his memories of his previous life. they were still old and conservative. he did not know if this was related to turing’s mechanical intelligence.
The old man couldn’t keep up with the changes of the times. It was better to be buried early.
This was especially so since Turing was not the strongest among the original vinti’s guards. He had only become the spiritual leader of the first order because he was a mechanical unit and could continuously replace and upgrade his body parts, killing other flesh and blood units.
there’s no need. Don’t you know Turing’s personality? if he was good at changing his mind, you wouldn’t have taken so long to get rid of an alien planet. Said link with a smile.
Ning Chengqi’s face was slightly embarrassed, but more than that, he was afraid.
Earlier, he had mentioned the name of his ship. Now, he knew Turing’s personality like the back of his hand. He seemed to know more about the first-rank, but the first-rank knew less about link.
After meeting with link, ning Chengqi’s answers did not decrease. Instead, they increased.
The person in front of him was always calm and composed, as if no news could affect his state of mind at all. Ning Chengqi even guessed that link might have found out about this through some special ability.
Ning Chengqi’s expression grew more and more serious. If link could not join the first-rank, he would definitely be the most unstable factor in the Fandi Galaxy. His unfathomable power and background shrouded link in a mysterious veil.
although we don’t have the chance to join first-order, we can still work together. Link leaned forward slightly and extended his offer.
Link ignored the surprised looks of ning Chengqi and the others and directly stated his thoughts.”I know that Braveheart has a lot of portal materials. i can purchase these teleportation gates at a price 10% higher than the market price. i wonder if commander ning has the authority to do this business.”
In the entire Fandi system, there were only two people who could build a portal.
One of them was the Dark Lord saffron who had been beaten back to his hometown by link, and the other was the first-rank white Alchemist joisse.
First-rank teleportation portals were usually used by planets that had joined first-rank, and every planet could be connected to their home planet, Mustafa, making travel easy. However, there had never been a precedent of a teleportation portal being sold. If ning Chengqi wanted to do this business, he had to report it to Turing. However, according to Turing’s procedures, he would definitely reject it.
Therefore, Link’s words were simply lethal. He also pointed out the biggest problem of the first-rank.
Unknowingly, ning Chengqi had fallen into Link’s verbal trap and was at war with himself.
he knew that it was impossible to win link over with his current conditions. however, it would be good if he could form some connections with the wasteland expeditionary force. it would also be helpful in improving communication between the two sides. However, ning Chengqi did not have the authority to do so. If he were to apply to Turing, ning Chengqi knew that Turing would definitely say something like ” wind control program prevention and control ” and then reject it.
It was not that ning Chengqi did not think about taking the mechanical fortress by force, but he immediately dismissed the idea after seeing the wasteland Expeditionary Force.
If the seventh Regiment couldn’t hold back their impulse and took the initiative to attack, there would only be one result-complete annihilation.
With his strength, it was still a problem whether he could hold link back. The nine-striped Dragon, Gamesh, and the one who had yet to appear were enough to deal a devastating blow to the Army, not to mention the rest. At that time, it would not be them who would take the mechanical fortress, but the wasteland Expeditionary Force would wipe out the first order Seventh Regiment and take Braveheart for themselves.
After ning Chengqi’s assessment, he immediately extinguished this thought in his heart.
If they let them go without fighting, the chances of the first-order finding a way to contact link in the future would be basically zero.
Ning Chengqi was caught in a battle between heaven and man.
He thought of the oath he had made in front of Turing and the emblem of the first order when he had been promoted from vice-captain to Captain and army commander, and how he had dedicated all his passion to the development of the first order.
now, ning chengqiu was at a crossroads. on one hand, he could maintain a good relationship with link and preserve the possibility of link joining the first order. But on the other hand, choosing this would mean that he had violated the standard procedure that Turing had set. From a certain perspective, this kind of violation could be considered a kind of betrayal.
Ning Chengqi was in great pain. When the interests of the first order were in conflict with the rules set by the spiritual leader, what should he use as a standard? What exactly was loyalty?
Ning Chengqi had completely fallen into Link’s trap. His relaxed expression became more serious.
Link didn’t say much. At this moment, he was more like an outsider, laughing at ning Chengqi’s “self-torture.”
Grace’s brows furrowed slightly as she stood in the crowd. Once again, she had a clear understanding of Link’s strength. Without using any tricks, only logical traps and eloquence were used to make the higher-ups of first order fall into a dilemma. She was a psionic ability user and could tell that no matter whether the cooperation was successful or not, ning Chengqi’s loyalty to the first order would be shaken or confused.
The entire negotiation tent was silent. The Victoria delegation did not express any opinions. Everyone was waiting for ning chengmo’s final decision.
After a long while, with a long sigh, ning chengye stood up and raised his hand. ” congratulations, i look forward to our first cooperation going smoothly. ”
In the end, ning Chengqi chose the path of “disobedience” and chose to cooperate with link.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithout foresight, there would be immediate worries, and the immediate worry of the first-rank was the alien planet. Although they couldn’t work together with link now, their goal was the alien army. After the alien army was eliminated, the Fandi system would definitely encounter other crises or opportunities in the future. If they could form a good trade relationship with the wasteland Expeditionary Force, they would definitely be able to help when needed. They could barely be classified as ‘supernumerary personnel’ of the first order.
Link and ning chengye shook hands. The two strong hands held each other. The warmth and grip from the palm expressed their approval of this model. At the same time, it also meant that ning chengye had finally chosen the right path. He understood his heart and was firm on the person and path he was loyal to.
I sincerely express my respect for commander ning’s choice.
There was a hidden meaning in Link’s words. Ning Chengqi also understood the meaning.
“I will support both parties ‘intention to cooperate within my authority but I can’t guarantee the other mecha clans. So, I hope Mr. Lin will recognize the 7th Division.”
Link nodded his head firmly. He knew what ning Chengqi meant. Don’t show off after buying something. Don’t look for other first-rank people after working with him. If they saw something that shouldn’t appear, it would be equivalent to selling him off. This would ruin the long-term business in the future.
“Don’t worry about that. From now on, I, link, will set my sights on the seventh Regiment and Braveheart. I won’t touch any other first-rank ships. “however, if they don’t know what’s good for them and look for trouble, then don’t count it as me intentionally destroying my relationship with your organization,” link said with a smile.
don’t worry, Mr. Lin, ” said ning Chengqi with a smile. no one can break our strong partnership. If anything happens to Braveheart in the Fandi system in the future, I hope that Mr. Lin will lend me a hand on account of the risk I took to cooperate with you.
Ning Chengqi’s answer was also interesting. He was implying that if he did not know what was good for him, it would not affect their cooperation. He also expressed his hope for the mechanical fortress ‘support in the future.
After they let go of each other, link tapped the bug in his ear and said, ” ” troy, add braveheart to the mechanical fortress ‘white list. our flight data is open to friends at any time. ”
Ning Chengqi’s eyes brightened. It had to be said that Link’s stubbornness during the negotiations and his desire to fight for every inch of land made people feel a strong sense of oppression. However, after the cooperation, all kinds of reassuring and considerate actions came.
Naturally, ning Chengqi returned the favor and nodded to the vice-captain.
The vice-captain’s fingers touched his eyebrows. After a moment, he did not open his mouth, but his spiritual language spread throughout the conference room.”Braveheart has added the mechanical fortress to the white list.”
Once a ship was added to the white list, they would be able to access each other’s flight records and also know the destination of the ship. It could be said that the entire journey would be completely visible to the other party. To be able to join the white list, both parties had to have absolute trust in each other.
ning chengqi was quite pleased that both sides could add a white list to each other. the first step of his plan was a success. the next step was to continue business cooperation to strengthen the relationship between the two sides.
” as for the specific cooperation process, we will send penny, who is also the minister of economy of the wasteland and the head of the expeditionary army, to connect with the seventh legion. ”
Ning Chengqian raised his hand to draw out the vice-captain beside him. “7th Division’s vice-captain, Braveheart’s vice-captain, AI. We’ll just look for him to discuss our cooperation.”
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two sides had eased and that there was a relaxed and happy atmosphere in the conference room, the three sides, whether it was the main personnel or the followers, all let out a long sigh of relief.
Although this kind of cooperation was ” shady “, it was definitely a bold and worthy attempt for the stability of the Fandi Galaxy.
“I have a personal question to ask. Mr. Lin said that the entourage is limited to 15 people. I see that both Victoria City and we have 15 people. I don’t know why the wasteland Expeditionary Force only brought 14 people.” This was what ning Chengqi had wanted to ask for a long time, but he had not said it because the atmosphere was not good.
The macaw also heaved a sigh of relief. This sentence that it had been holding back for a long time had finally been spoken on its behalf. Just based on this point alone, it had to give ning Chengqi a huge compliment!
only then did everyone realize that the wasteland expeditionary force only had 14 people. they all looked at link, waiting for an explanation.
