After the meeting, Matt, as the negotiating representative, embarked on the road to the Black Flag Galaxy.
After everyone's discussion, it was decided to hold negotiations first, but the combined fleet has also begun to gather towards the Omega Galaxy, preparing for the worst.
Just entering the Black Flag Galaxy, I saw that the original black bear flag above the Black Flag Space Station had turned into the red two-headed bird flag of the Mod Regiment, announcing to the world the fact that this place had changed hands.
The Mord regiment teams were patrolling the galaxy one after another. Matt looked at the cyan battleships and couldn't help but observe carefully: "Is this battleship reaching the level of the angel civilization's battleships?"
"Representatives of the Omega Federation, please come to the space station to speak."
Before he could observe more carefully, Aura's invitation was sent to his battleship communication, which made his face change slightly.
The news I came to exchange was only decided half an hour ago. How come they knew it so quickly?
Do you have people like them within yourself?
Or are they supported by insiders?
But with the technological level of these guys, it is not something that I and others can support!
Being supported is not enough.
Shaking his head, with this inexplicable thought in mind, Matt entered Black Flag, oh no, it should be the war fortress of the Mod regiment.
When I arrived at the berth, what I saw was an entire squadron of the Mod Regiment undergoing maintenance. Missile launchers and missiles were unloaded from the spacecraft by mechanical arms for maintenance. Dozens of warships were undergoing maintenance together.
Very spectacular.
"Representative Matt, please move over, our manager is waiting for you in the conference room." Maude stepped forward to invite you, but there was no other way, there was no manpower now, so we had to let him come.
Matt looked at the burly man who was a head taller than him, and thought about the information Mu Yunyan had given him before he came. His eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but stepped forward to talk: "May I ask, is it Mo who commanded the fleet to defeat the Black Flagship yesterday?"
German Commander?”
"Well, it's me." Maud replied angrily, walking in front without even looking back.
The leader of his majestic Maud regiment was actually here as a greeter, so he was already feeling unhappy.
"Your Majesty's Morde regiment is famous throughout the Omega Star Territory, and all forces admire you." Matt's words are not flattering. They read the combat record last night and used Mu Yunyan's evaluation.
To put it bluntly, this commander is iron-blooded and rational. He is able to abandon some frigates in exchange for the opportunity to completely annihilate the enemy fleet. He is a terrifying commander.
"Pull him down. I can only fight among small forces like you. I won't be able to deal with other big forces. We need other people."
Morde waved his hand and said, his Morde regiment only has a battleship at its highest, and at most it can be considered a leader in regular battles. Once it encounters an enemy above the flagship level, he will be somewhat powerless.
But in Matt's ears, these words had another meaning.
Does this New Eden have other powers?!
After that, no matter how much Matt tried to talk to her, Maude stopped talking and walked all the way to the conference room with her head downcast.
In the conference room, Aura, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the two people who came in and nodded. After they sat down, he said, "Representative Matt is here for the Black Flag Galaxy, right?"
"yes!"
Matt said straightforwardly, he knew that in this situation, the winding and convoluted business negotiations were useless, and it was better to go straight.
"Then what do you want to do?" The bionic robot where Aura is with his hands on the conference table, two mechanical eyeballs staring at Matt closely, "Are you planning to use force to take back the Black Flag Galaxy?"
Matt shook his head. As a person who controls a fleet of tens of thousands of battleships, he certainly cannot be scared: "This is not the last resort. After all, although our Omega Federation has a big family and a big business, we don't want to create a strong enemy for nothing.
.”
"That means we can talk?" Aura sat down and showed a smile.
"We can talk, but there are conditions, and that's the bottom line!" Matt said seriously
"Say it."
"First" Matt raised an index finger and stared at Aura, "You need to join the Omega Federation. I can do my best to make you the sixth seat."
Matt played a little trick and turned the condition that everyone had already agreed on into a favor for himself.
"This is impossible, New Eden will not join any organized group." Aura shook her head expressionlessly, a pair of mechanical eyes flashing with a strange red light.
"This is our bottom line." Matt stood up and looked at Aura, "You should know that the black flag is the northern gate of the Omega Star Territory. Although there is no threat from the north, it must be in our own hands!"
Of course Aura knew, otherwise he wouldn't have put all his efforts into planning the Black Flag Galaxy. After all, this was also the gate to his Alpha Star Territory, and he couldn't give in.
"Then there's nothing to talk about?"
Aura turned her head and winked at Maud, who had been standing beside her, preparing to see off the guests.
Maud walked up behind Matt and grabbed Matt's shoulders with a pair of big hands: "Please, Representative Matt."
"Wait a minute, of course this negotiation has to be negotiated. The conditions can be negotiated!" Matt felt a pair of iron hands on his shoulders and yelled with his teeth bared in pain.
Aura nodded, and Maud let go and stood back beside Aura.
Matt moved his shoulders and stated his true minimum condition: "An alliance, this is our final bottom line."
"Okay." Aura nodded. This alliance is much more sincere than direct annexation. "Let's talk about the second condition."
"Second, we hope that things will continue as usual in the Black Flag Galaxy. The accelerating orbit will still be open to all forces, and we also hope that taxes will be the same as before." The Black Flag Galaxy is the only place where many of their secret trade routes must pass.
An increase in taxes will greatly affect their interests.
"That's okay." Aura has no objection to this. After all, he doesn't value the income. "And we can also provide you with rescue services in the north, as long as the money is available."
Matt's eyes lit up. This desolate land in the north was beyond their reach. They often encountered wandering pirates who robbed them. These pirates wandered everywhere and had no place to stay. They had no place to seek revenge. If they could have a strong friendly force to help, that would be great.
It would be much easier to worry about.
"This is possible. We can discuss the specific matters in detail later."
"Of course." Aura said with a smile. This north is the Alpha Star Territory. Even if there is this, he will not let his territory have such an unstable factor as pirates.
Except for the first condition, he was very satisfied with the other conditions.
"I have a question, I want to ask your Excellency." Matt looked at Aura, and then at Mod behind Aura, and said hesitantly: "I dare to ask you New Eden."
Such a powerful dragon crossing the river suddenly appears, which can't help but make people puzzled.
"Just a lost dog looking for a home."
Aura and Maud's faces showed a little sadness. Matt saw that the two of them had made up their minds, and then stopped testing, and instead brought the topic to cooperation matters.
In the end, the two parties reached some commercial cooperation. For example, Aura leased six star systems with rich ice minerals around Black Flag on the condition of free rescue and escort of the Lambert Heavy Industry caravan in the Northern Alpha Star Field.
There are many trade cooperation with Lambert Heavy Industries.
"That's the thing. Except New Eden is only willing to form an alliance and is unwilling to join us, other military and commercial cooperation have been negotiated."
In the conference room, Matt reported the results of this exchange.
"Hmph, I don't know what's good, are you looking down on us?" Tuttle Mahi slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up and said aggressively, "I think we can just destroy it!"
Mu Yunyan, who was playing games on the table with his legs crossed, said vaguely: "Then you can take your fleet to attack. As long as you can win, it doesn't matter if the Black Flag Galaxy is left to you.
, I am the first to agree."
"Same here." Matt said, squinting his eyes.
Tuttle Mahi was so swallowed that he didn't know how to speak. Although he wanted to rush over with the fleet, his reason told him not to act rashly, and then he sat back with a cold snort.
Since then, no one has any objections, and New Eden has officially settled in the Omega Star Territory, becoming the sixth pole outside the five major forces of the Omega Federation!
