During the negotiation, the most valuable bargaining chip Bailiyuan held was the wreckage of the First Legion's main ship.
All First Legion loot is valued from lowest to highest.
First came Ziminghai and Posatian, followed by other officers and soldiers, then various battleships, and finally the main ship.
Even if it is just the wreckage of the main ship, it is the most valuable thing.
Zi Minghai and Posatian can easily find replacement candidates, because the empire is full of talents and there are many nobles eyeing this position.
Although there are more officers and soldiers, the empire has a larger population, and it takes some time to recruit them all again. It just needs to waste some training time.
The value of various types of warships is relatively high. On the one hand, the materials and construction period, and on the other hand, re-building these warships will leave a gap in the empire's military. People with ulterior motives are likely to take advantage of every opportunity to cause trouble.
Because the empire's top officials knew that the conquered alien races had not yet completely surrendered.
Finally, there is the wreckage of the main ship.
There are two main reasons why the main ship wreckage is so valuable to the Empire.
First, the stellar core has not been destroyed. It's not that the empire can't get new stellar cores, but the stellar cores that are eligible to be carried on the main ship of the First Legion are not ordinary stellar cores and are extremely valuable.
The second is the various technologies carried on the main ship. That's the empire's cutting-edge technology, and it's all imperial secrets.
The empire knew that it needed to crack the technology of the Yuncheng Expeditionary Force transport ship, and they were also worried that Bai Liyuan and others would crack the empire's warship technology from the wreckage of the main ship and then target it.
Such losses would be immeasurable and would bring crisis to the empire.
Therefore, the wreckage of the main ship must be redeemed as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the more likely things will happen.
However, at this moment, Bailiyuan did not give the empire a chance to directly redeem the wreckage of the main ship.
The empire didn’t have many surprises.
In the eyes of the empire's senior officials, the wreckage of the main ship, as the most important trophy in Baili Yuan's hands, would naturally not be handed over so easily. The wreckage of the main ship must be Bailiyuan's greatest confidence in negotiating with the empire, and it is also a protective card.
Before the empire figured out where Bailiyuan hid the wreckage of the main ship, the Yuncheng Expeditionary Force was absolutely safe in the empire's territory.
It's a pity that the empire doesn't know that there is Caroline in Bailiyuan.
At this moment, most of Caroline's body and computing power are concentrated on the wreckage of the main ship, quickly deciphering the technology on the wreckage of the main ship.
Moreover, as she continued to decipher and incorporate Imperial technology and establish an Imperial technology tree, Caroline's speed at deciphering the technology of the wreckage of the main ship became faster and faster.
In a few hours, all the technology on the wreckage of the main ship will be completely cracked.
Di Qingtian took the lead in starting new negotiations.
"Then let's talk about the price of the First Legion fleet first."
The First Legion has returned to the Imperial Port, but the Empire still needs to pay the money for the wreckage of the main ship.
"Easy to say."
Baili Yuan showed a bright smile, and then looked at Shinozaki Shiho.
Shiho Shinozaki met Baili Yuan's gaze, nodded, stood up and tapped his arm a few times. The arm lit up with light, and a price list was projected in mid-air.
Looking at the dense list and the number of various resources on it, the expressions of the thirteen members suddenly changed.
"impossible!"
"You are a lion with a big mouth!"
"Are you provoking the empire?"
"..."
Ming Daoliu's brows raised. He didn't expect Baili Yuan and others to have such a big appetite... but it was better this way.
Queen Luo Mingxue also changed her expression, looking at Di Qingtian with a worried expression.
"His Majesty."
The three princes and princesses looked even more anxious.
"Father, don't agree."
"Ignorant alien!"
"Uh-huh, father..."
Only Di Qingtian seemed to have expected it, his expression was calm and silent.
Bailiyuan glanced around at everyone in the empire, and his expressions became strange. He thought to himself: "I'm afraid they're all two-faced, right?"
】
Even the youngest Di Yao is acting, and I can only say that she is worthy of being the daughter of the royal family.
Bailiyuan, who can feel other people's emotions, can naturally feel that the thoughts of everyone present are far different from the emotions displayed.
This seems to be a negotiation for the national interest, but in fact it is a battle between powers.
If you think about it simply, you can understand why.
Because——Di Qing’s destiny is not long gone!
The old emperor is about to pass away, the successor to the throne is not yet clear, the world is undecided, and all the princes and princesses are dark horses.
The three princes and princesses wanted to perform well in this matter, win the respect of Emperor Qingtian, and secure their position as heirs. Finally, we have to kill the other two competitors.
The congressmen want to use this matter to put the princes and princesses they support in power and at the same time seek benefits for themselves and their families. There are even more ideas.
Luo Mingxue wanted to get more from Emperor Qingtian, or even divide the emperor's power. Because the emperor is dying and she is still young! She didn't want to just step down and take the back seat, she should have been able to take one step further!
Emperor Qingtian also had the idea of testing the princes and princesses, but of course, he wanted to beat everyone more, including the queen with ulterior motives, the congressmen with impure intentions, and the ambitious offspring.
Di Qingtian wants to tell everyone that he is just old, not dead.
Before he dies, no one can mess up!
What He has given belongs to these people. If He does not give it to them, these people cannot rob it.
As for the attitudes and thoughts of Bailiyuan and others, that's not important.
Just a whetstone.
Bailiyuan could only lament that power is a good thing, but sometimes it is a poison that causes brain problems.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the empire to put them into the Earth Star so easily and still have to negotiate peace with them.
I originally thought that the empire was going to invite Xiang Yu to invite Liu Bang.
Is this the result?
After knowing it in his mind, Baili Yuan smiled slightly.
Got it, it’s a test~
Bailiyuan pointed at each other with the ten fingers of his hands and nodded to each other.
"Hahaha, this is just the most basic price we have offered. Since you are not satisfied, I can increase the price. After we have negotiated this matter, we will talk about the main ship. Anyway, I am not in a hurry."
Both Shirakawa Junko and Shinozaki Shiho glanced at Baili Yuan strangely.
This operation was not included in the original plan.
Didn't you just agree to make a deal and leave?
Then go back and keep hitting, keep knocking.
But you can’t catch all the marshes!
This time, even Di Qingtian could hardly hold back.
I’ve heard of people raising prices on the ground, but I’ve never seen prices rising on the ground like this.
After hearing Bailiyuan's words, everyone else on the empire side stopped talking and looked at Di Qingtian.
Dissatisfaction appeared in Di Qingtian's eyes.
Ask me if you know the price has been increased!
But this negotiation is all calculated and cannot collapse.
Bailiyuan's attitude can only be said to be unexpected, but it is harmless.
"Okay, let's continue talking." Di Qingtian spoke, his voice low and calm.
But he secretly glanced at everyone's performance.
Make a plan in your mind.
…
Night comes.
The negotiation really didn't work out.
Bailiyuan and others were not surprised. Bailiyuan had already sent some of the things he analyzed to the internal channel. Everyone in the Yuncheng Expeditionary Force knew that the empire was in a sensitive state.
Andy issued an order to let people test the true situation of the empire.
See if the empire is really engaged in a power struggle and how far the struggle has progressed.
If possible, the Yuncheng Expeditionary Force would not mind adding fuel to the fire first, and then pulling chestnuts from the fire.
