In the elegant room, Wang Chen and Zhao Rongcheng sat across from each other across the tea table.
The bustle of the grand banquet hall was completely isolated.
Zhao Rongcheng, the son of a duke, is undoubtedly the most ambitious and charming young man among the nobles Wang Chen has ever seen.
His stature and appearance are almost impeccable, his temperament is calm, humble and restrained, and his speech and behavior are full of grace, which makes it easy for people to have a strong impression.
Such a person must be a leader carefully cultivated by a wealthy family since childhood!
Zhao Rongcheng's purpose of inviting Wang Chen to this sorority was not complicated, he just wanted to invite him to join his club.
The Taiwu Alliance is similar in nature to the Twin Lions Brotherhood, but has a much smaller number of members!
And this group is completely dominated by Zhao Rong, and its members can be said to be the deployment of the son of the Duke.
This is the team he organized to compete for the position of future Duke!
Regarding his intentions, Zhao Rongcheng did not hide anything and communicated with Wang Chen completely and honestly.
The attitude he showed was sincere and equal, and his persuasiveness was not ordinary.
It's a pity that Zhao Rongcheng is facing Wang Chen!
To be honest, Wang Chen was a little tempted by the conditions offered by Zhao Rongcheng.
This includes, but is not limited to, resource investment for each school year, supply of high-level materials, and assistance in all aspects, etc.
Zhao Rongcheng even said that he could help Wang Chen terminate the training agreement with the Azure Star Group Garrison, so that Wang Chen would no longer have to fulfill his obligation to join the army after graduation.
In other words, as long as Wang Chen joins Zhao Rongcheng, his rise to prominence will be just around the corner!
The problem is that no matter how strong Zhao Rongcheng's personality is and no matter how tempting his offer is, he can't impress Wang Chen.
"Senior Zhao, thank you for your respect for me."
Wang Chen considered his words and said, "I wonder if you have noticed that the war is coming?"
Zhao Rongcheng and Just were both nobles, but they were completely different. Wang Chen didn't mind being angry with Just, but he didn't want to have bad relations with Zhao Rongcheng if it was not necessary.
So Wang Chen changed his way of rejection.
"war?"
Zhao Rongcheng was stunned for a moment: "Are you referring to the war between us and the alliance, or the war with aliens?"
The Holy Light Empire is undoubtedly the most powerful force in the star sea world, ruling sixty-five star clusters and trillions of people, and controlling a galaxy territory of tens of thousands of light years.
But the Holy Light Empire also has enemies.
That's the alliance and aliens.
The alliance refers to the Alliance of Stars, a force composed of forty-four star groups. There is a certain gap between the technological level and military strength of the Holy Light Empire.
In fact, the Alliance of Stars is a force that split from the Holy Light Empire, and the feud between the two parties could produce a TV series with tens of thousands of episodes.
For hundreds of years, the Holy Light Empire has spared no effort to destroy the Alliance of Stars, but has never been able to do so.
Especially after the alien race appeared and invaded the empire's star field, completely destroying the Star Alliance has become a luxury.
Despite this, the war between the Holy Light Empire and the Star Alliance has never been interrupted.
As for the aliens, the Holy Light Empire has fought no fewer than ten large-scale wars with the aliens. Although it has curbed the latter's expansion in the galaxy, it was unable to expel the aliens from the ancient galaxy with the involvement of the Star Alliance.
Generally speaking, the Holy Light Empire faces both the Star Alliance and alien forces, and has been on the defensive in recent decades.
Although frictions continue, large-scale wars have not broken out for a long time.
"It's all possible."
Wang Chen said: "Although I don't know whether the empire will attack the alliance or the alien race, the scale of this war will definitely be very large, and we may all be involved by then."
What Wang Chen wanted to tell Zhao Rongcheng was that when the empire launched an interstellar war, his planning was just like a child's play house, and it was simply not worth mentioning.
And once the war breaks out, as a student of the First Military Academy, Wang Chen is likely to receive a call from the military.
It is a tradition for the Imperial Army to recruit outstanding students from the First Military Academy to join the army. Many of the outstanding generals and pilots from generation to generation joined the army while studying.
Because the First Military Academy is the officer reserve talent pool of the Imperial Army!
"War is ruthless. After going to the battlefield, no one can guarantee that he will come back alive."
Wang Chen said calmly: "So, senior, I can only accept your sincerity."
Zhao Rongcheng was silent for a moment, and then asked: "How did you judge it?"
As the son of a duke, he had never received any intelligence information about this. As a civilian, how did Wang Chen obtain confidential information?
“Just go shopping online and you’ll find out.”
Wang Chen smiled and said: "In the past year, the price of energy blocks has been rising, and the price of mutant biological products has also risen. Moreover, the materials used to produce battleships and mechas have also increased by 10% this year."
The empire's technology is extremely advanced, and there are many sources of energy. In addition to traditional wind energy, stellar energy, chemical energy, geothermal energy, nuclear energy, etc., the most important one is mineral energy.
Mineral energy mainly refers to energy blocks, which are industrial products of the former!
The properties of energy blocks are extremely stable, and the stored energy density is extremely high, much stronger than any battery. Therefore, it has become the main power source for combat mechas and some battleships.
Although energy blocks can be regarded as strategic materials, they are also circulated in large quantities in the civilian market, so fluctuations in their prices can reflect changes in the situation within the empire.
Wang Chen paid attention to this aspect and coupled with his keen intuitive judgment, he came to such a conclusion.
Zhao Rongcheng was speechless.
Although the Empire's First Higher Military Academy is part of the Empire's war system, because it is located at the rear of the Empire's territory and far away from the front lines, the Taiwu Planet where it is located has never been invaded by foreign enemies and has always been very peaceful and peaceful.
In addition, the empire has not fought with the alliance and alien races in recent years, and the friction in local areas has been transmitted here and has become a side news that not many people care about.
Even Zhao Rongcheng himself had no idea that a new war was coming.
When you get used to a comfortable and luxurious life, you lose your sensitivity!
After all, Zhao Rongcheng is not an ordinary person. He did not get angry because of this or blame Wang Chen. Instead, he nodded and said: "Junior Wang Chen, I already understand what you mean. I was negligent."
"Don't worry, people like the Twin Lions Brotherhood and Just will not harass you again in the future, I promise!"
Wang Chen smiled and said: "That's best, thank you."
With Zhao Rongcheng's identity, there is absolutely no possibility of telling him anything, and if he says a guarantee, he will definitely be able to make a guarantee.
Wang Chen didn't want to get involved with people like Just, so he accepted Zhao Rongcheng's favor.
