“I wonder how many resources we have to turn over every year?”
This was the first thing Luo, the prime minister of the Kante Kingdom, said when he came to the Xingchen and talked with Jiang Xingchen.
Suddenly, Jiang Xingchen looked weird.
However, think about it, this is normal.
After all, this is the main theme among civilizations in the universe.
When a powerful country encounters a civilization that has too many of its own and is unable to resist, it becomes its subsidiary civilization and turns over a certain share of its own resources every year in order to preserve the survival of its own civilization.
This is a common practice.
Whether it is the previous Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy, or the current Small Magellanic Cloud.
It's all like this.
And looked at Jiang Xingchen's slightly raised corners of his mouth.
Luo felt a little drumming in his heart.
Soon...
"Fifty percent?"
...
"Sixty percent?"
...
"Seventy percent?"
...
"Eighty percent! Sir, we can't take any more. If we take more, I'm afraid the people in our kingdom won't even be able to afford food."
Jiang Xingchen still didn't react.
Luo was really panicked.
If you are still not satisfied with 80%, then the Star Sea Federation should not be satisfied with 90%, right?
"Is there a possibility that we actually don't need any resources from you?"
...
...
Is it possible?
Absolutely impossible!
"My lord, stop joking. Just tell me how much you want!"
"Hey, if you tell the truth these days, why doesn't anyone believe you?"
He sighed, and then did some operations on his portable terminal.
An agreement was projected.
Immediately, Jiang Xingchen stopped talking and just motioned to Luo to watch.
A few minutes later.
"My lord, are you serious?"
"Of course I am serious. You decide whether to sign or not, but I don't have much time. I will wait for you for one day at most."
"It won't take a day, just an hour. I will definitely convince His Majesty the King to sign. If he doesn't sign, I, I will..."
"What are you talking about?"
"I will depose him, and then another king will come up and sign it!"
wipe!
Hearing this, even Jiang Xingchen was a little confused.
Is this prime minister of the Kante Kingdom so awesome?
Even the king will abolish it...
Could it be that this is the characteristic of the royal system in the legend...
Powerful minister?
Actually, it's really not.
It's just that the king of the Kingdom of Kante is young and energetic, and he only wants to be a general and not a king.
As a result, he personally conquered the neighboring Sero Empire, and then...
Unfortunately, he died due to an ambush.
Although there are children, there are only two adult daughters, but there has never been a precedent for a queen in the Kingdom of Kante.
So, the only son who was only five years old became the new king.
After seeing the agreement given by Jiang Xingchen and confirming that it was not a joke.
Luo realized that this was definitely not a crisis but an opportunity for the Kingdom of Kante.
Opportunities are rare.
By signing this agreement and unswervingly following the Federation forward, the kingdom will usher in an unprecedented prosperous age.
In this regard, if the little king is awkward, he doesn't mind having a new queen appear in the kingdom.
and...
Although the Kant people are not the same race as humans, they are very similar in appearance.
The biggest difference is that the legs of the Kante people are longer.
In this case, what if we support the queen to ascend to the throne and let the queen and this human commander have some sparks?
Seems like a very good option too.
In just a short moment, Luo, as the prime minister of the kingdom, had all kinds of thoughts flashing through his mind.
only...
If Jiang Xingchen knew what he was thinking now, he would definitely complain like crazy.
Are your legs just a little long?
It’s too long, right?
Take Luo as an example. If you only look at the upper body, he has a similar figure to Jiang Xingchen.
But because of his legs, he forcibly increased his height to 2.5 meters.
so...
Are you sure these legs are just longer and not too long?
Soon, Luo hurriedly left the Star with the agreement.
------
One hour later.
Jiang Xingchen received the communication from Luo Cong from the palace.
"Prime Minister Luo, how are you doing?"
"Master Jiang, our queen has agreed to sign the agreement."
"Very good, then... wait, Queen? Didn't I remember you said King before?"
"Yes, because the king is being petty and unwilling to sign, after discussion with all the important ministers, we deposed your majesty and re-established your majesty's sister as the queen."
...
...
I thought you were joking before.
So you actually did it?
By the way, the king is being petty?
Why does this sound so weird?
"How old... was your original king?"
"Well...it turns out that His Majesty the King is five years old. It may be because he is too young and not even sensible yet, so he is being petty and refuses to sign the agreement."
Okay, Jiang Xingchen understands.
Is this being petty?
five years old...
They didn't even know a few words, let alone sign an agreement.
Being a little naughty...
Anyway, this is a matter of their own family in their kingdom and has nothing to do with them.
Just sign the agreement.
"Well, Prime Minister Luo, now that the agreement has been confirmed, there is one thing I need to discuss with you."
"Master Jiang, please tell me."
"That's right, we don't have a stronghold in the Small Magellanic Cloud, and the location of your kingdom is also the area we planned before coming, so..."
"Master Jiang, are you... trying to seize the territory of our kingdom?"
Luo immediately became anxious.
How can this work?
Sure enough, there are no such good things in the world, they are all routines!
"No, no, no, Prime Minister Luo, you have misunderstood. How can you say that we are seizing the territory of your kingdom? It is demolition. Do you understand demolition?"
"Demolition? What do you mean?"
For this word, even with a universal translation device, Luo still didn't understand it.
Well, after all, this is a vocabulary unique to humans, and it is normal for people from other civilizations not to understand it.
After all, when I first talked to the civilizations in the Triangulum Galaxy, they didn't understand it either.
Jiang Xingchen has experience in this area.
"It means that the Federation has taken a fancy to this piece of land in your kingdom and is preparing to expropriate it."
"Of course, the Federation will give you adequate compensation for the expropriation of these sites."
"You know, in our federal system, whenever the subordinate civilizations hear the word demolition, it will make them so excited that they can't sleep for several days."
Uh, you were so excited that you couldn't sleep after being forcibly requisitioned your territory?
Bullshit, too bullshit!
Luo didn't believe a word Jiang Xingchen said.
However...
"Generally speaking, when the federal government decides to demolish a property, it will provide double compensation to the civilization involved."
"For example, the territory of the Kingdom of Kante is now nine star systems. Once the demolition is confirmed, the Federation will compensate you for eighteen star systems."
"If the kingdom's affiliated civilization points are enough, it can even be exchanged for more star systems at half price at one time on the affiliated civilization platform."
"Of course, you can also choose not to demolish it."
"After all, whether to demolish or not depends entirely on resources, and the federal government does not force it."
Is this demolition?
Luo's eyes widened.
As for what affiliated civilization points are, he also had a general understanding of them from Jiang Xingchen on board the Xingchen.
With points, you can exchange them for technology, warships, or even star systems on the Federation-affiliated civilization platform.
Therefore, once you agree to the demolition, you will not only get double the compensation for the land...
Can you still get a chance to exchange for more star systems at half price?
