Two days before Jatu led the Blazing Star Slave Catching Group to launch a counterattack, in a secret conference room located in the Fenhabennis Federation Orbital Airport, several figures in different costumes were debating around the holographic image of the Tianxi Star. What.
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Lieutenant General."
After some intense negotiations, Yang Tianyi failed to get more benefits, his tone revealed a bit of unwillingness, but in the face of the already attractive enough terms, he still signed his name on the contract and signed his name on the contract very well. Vice Admiral Anya Panikkar, who was standing next to him with a confident look on his face, shook hands to ensure that the other party would not make more demands because of his sudden softening of attitude.
After putting a thick contract document into a special alloy box for emergencies, Yang Tianyi handed the alloy box to the robot bodyguard behind him, preparing to put it in person after returning to the Fenhabenis branch. This top-secret document of great importance was transferred to the underground archives at the headquarters of the Paradise World Group for safekeeping.
As for Lieutenant General Anya standing next to him, she naturally knew the importance of this contract and also prepared a special alloy box to store the documents. After the meeting with Yang Tianyi was over, this document would be her final document. The trusted adjutant handed it over to the supply fleet that regularly traveled between the Federation territory and Fenhabennis Spaceport to bring it back to the United Star, and sealed it up by personnel specifically responsible for the safekeeping of such items.
Such tedious follow-up work is not because they are overly cautious, but because the spirit of contract that has existed in human blood since ancient times constrains their words and deeds - at the most tense and anxious moments, there is often a top-secret document prepared in advance and Image data can easily break the situation for its owner.
"Doing business with the Federation is the wisest decision I have ever made in my life. After the incident on Tianxi Star comes to an end, our group will immediately send relevant personnel and equipment to your country's stronghold on Fenhabennis to provide We will provide all possible help to your country’s scientific research undertakings.”
After squinting her eyes and listening to this sincere reply, Lieutenant General Anya nodded with satisfaction, raised her right hand and invited Yang Tianyi to sit down with her in the reception area of the office, drink a few cups of tea and eat some snacks to relax them. There was a bit of a subtle atmosphere due to haggling recently.
"Huh, yes, it's this refreshing smell."
As several housekeeping z1 robots in the reception area entered working mode, a pot of hot tea and two plates of exquisite refreshments soon appeared on the square table in front of the two people. However, compared to the finished pastries taken out of the refrigerator, The Lieutenant General was obviously paying more attention to the transparent teapot and the amber tea in it.
Seeing that Yang Tianyi looked confused and seemed unable to understand the meaning of his words, Anya Panika, who was half sitting on the sofa, blinked and explained with a smile: "I am not a sweet tooth most of the time. Even though the conditions in the Federation are much better than when the country was founded, there is no need to change the eating habits developed at that time."
As if recalling the era when the people were scrimping on food and clothing and building a country from scratch, the lieutenant general shook his head slightly and waved away the housekeeping robot that was preparing to pour tea for her, and personally poured seven cents for Yang Tianyi and the tea cup in front of him. After he was full, he put down the teapot, picked up the teacup and briefly smelled the aroma of tea escaping from the mouth of the cup, then put down the cup, leaned back on the soft sofa backrest, and looked at Yang Tianyi, who was also in no hurry to drink tea.
"Hytnion."
The lieutenant general suddenly said a word without any clue. Before Yang Tianyi could ask about the story behind the term, the lieutenant general immediately said: "It's my home planet, an agricultural planet with beautiful scenery. I'm still here Before I became Fleet Commander and Vice Admiral, I was responsible for coordinating and supervising the production and transportation of crops in Hythenyon.”
With keen insight, Lieutenant General Anya easily saw a flash of surprise in the other person's eyes. This was not the first time she had seen the same expression on different people's faces - from an agricultural planet. From production statisticians to fleet commanders and powerful lieutenant generals of the federal navy fleet, the possible hidden secrets here are indeed thought-provoking.
"Haha, you must also be very curious about my promotion path, right? Mr. Yang, there is no need to be polite. This is not something that cannot be said, because there is indeed no hidden secret worthy of scrutiny."
The lieutenant general stretched out his fingers to pick up a piece of thin waffle on the dinner plate and put it into his mouth. After taking a sip of hot tea, he showed a sly smile and said slowly: "As the saying goes, 'A thousand-mile horse is always there, but a bole is not always there. ', There are many talents in the federal army, even if I am not the best. But there are very few people who have both vision and ability, and among them is my teacher, the old man who once had a chance encounter with you."
"Whether it is military or other aspects, General Shestakov's talents are unmatched by anyone in the galaxy. I have no doubt about this."
As soon as Lieutenant Anya said this, Yang Tianyi immediately nodded in agreement and said: "Without the protection and support of your fleet, I am afraid that the only military power of our group would have been wiped out by the fleet of the United Nations of Earth as pirates. This I will always keep this great kindness in my heart.”
"Mr. Yang, you are exaggerating. It is true that the federal fleet protected the three frigates of your group, but in return, we also took away the loot that should belong to your group. This is a deal in which neither party owes anything. I don’t owe anyone a favor.”
Knowing that the other party was just being polite, the lieutenant general shook his head slightly, and then tried in a tone full of interest: "After carefully reviewing the new terms signed with your group, I think you still have reservations about the Federation, especially your group. The group’s layout within the Qien Empire. Directly intervening in Tianxi Star’s frontline battlefield? This is probably far beyond the capabilities of a small arms company!"
"Haha, Lieutenant General Anya was joking. It's just a businessman's habit to prevent problems before they happen while making money. I guarantee with my personal honor that the arrangement of our group in the empire will never have any substantial impact on the federation's strategy. . Just like this planned 'counteroffensive', I believe that as long as consultation is in place, both sides can benefit a lot from this war."
Realizing that Anya Panikkar still lacks trust in the group, Yang Tianyi did not rush to make a promise to win the favor of the other party, but cleverly used the just-signed contract to avoid this extremely easy to misfire topic - according to the contract "Principle of non-interference", on the premise that its own interests are not harmed, the Federation should respect the privacy of Qunxing Group and shall not interfere in any way with major decisions made by partners in production and strategic deployment.
That's right, in the contract, what the Star Group and the Human Federation established was not a subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates, but a partnership of equal status. This was also the basis for the contract to pass - Yang Tianyi would never allow himself With their hard work, a force with the potential to become a galaxy giant was prematurely bound to the chariot of the People's Federation.
Maybe the relationship would grow closer over time, or even become true allies, but until then, he wouldn't reveal anything to the other party that they weren't supposed to know.
In order to help its most loyal subordinates get a chance to clear their names and regain their honor, the group also made many concessions, such as producing a batch of electromagnetic railguns for the Federation at a price slightly higher than the cost, with a caliber enough to become the main gun of a cruiser. , based on the Federation's abandoned stronghold on Fenhabennis, a joint research center for weapons research and development and genetic agent analysis will be established, etc.
In return, the military forces deployed by the Federation on Tianxi Star will cooperate with Jatu's counterattack. While not harming human soldiers, they will allow the alien legion that not long ago was killing all the enemies within the Imperial Front to serve as the Fiery Star Slave Catching Group. , helping the Star Group to take its dark position in the empire to a higher level.
It is not difficult to do this. All it takes is for the bunker scientists far away from the front line to slightly change a few commands, and the originally bloody and brutal war beasts will obediently kill them.
However, of course the federal army would not let the situation be so obvious when the time comes, lest anyone with a clue would find out. Therefore, Yang Tianyi also vaccinated Jia Tu and warned the other party that they must be prepared to suffer huge losses to the slave-catching group.
Now that everything is ready, in the next forty-eight hours, Yang Tianyi will stay in this office with Lieutenant General Anya to witness this one of the few active counterattacks by the Qien Empire since the war began, and look forward to his beloved general Surprise him.
First latest.
