In the office, Lance described the history of the empire in the past 30,000 years with great emotion.
This was said for a full hour. Chris was not impatient, but listened with interest.
Basically, it's pretty much what I guessed.
The nobles are in power, the common people live like slaves, and there are resistance organizations hidden underground.
"What support do you want to gain? After overthrowing the nobles, what report can you give to the Federation?"
After Lance finished speaking and stared directly at Chris, Chris asked very bluntly.
There is no euphemism, and there is no need to play riddles.
"As long as it can help us overthrow the nobles and re-establish a new order in the empire..."
"We are willing to take your civilization as the main one and become a subsidiary civilization. We will pay tribute every year, but the amount of tribute..."
Lance gritted his teeth and said something he never dared to imagine.
Now he can see clearly that just relying on the current development speed of the civilian faction, even if it takes tens of thousands of years, there is no possibility of overthrowing the aristocratic rule!
As for the civilization level of the Federation, Lance also made some guesses. The seventh-level civilization should not have escaped, and it may even be an eighth-level civilization!
So, it is actually not unacceptable for the empire to be a vassal under such a civilization.
Of course, the premise is that this civilization cannot be too dark-hearted.
Lance knew how the nobles of the empire treated their subordinate civilizations, treating them like cash machines.
Under such oppression, those affiliated civilizations can basically just barely survive.
If the civilization in front of him behaves like this, then Lance will definitely terminate his plan immediately.
Chris smiled...
Isn't this great?
Speaking of which, the Federation really doesn't like the Weiss galaxy group. Except for one galaxy, they are all dwarf galaxies and have no development value.
If it weren't for Ai Luo Metal, the Federation probably wouldn't even bother to come.
So, if the local civilization is wiped out, and then the federation spends a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild it and mine Ailuo metal, wouldn't it be better to control the local overlord civilization and let it do all this for the federation?
Therefore, before setting off for the expedition, Lin Fan told Chris that the overlord civilization of the Vis galaxy group should be conquered if possible, and if it is not possible, then consider annihilating it. This is the reason.
No, before I even took action, someone came to my door...
Can Chris stop laughing?
With a wave of his hand, he brought up the virtual operation interface, and after a few operations, he pushed a document that appeared toward Lance.
"Let's take a look. This is our federation's subordinate civilization policy. If there is no problem, I think we need to have a serious talk!"
Looking at the document that had been opened and displayed in front of him, Lance began to read through it carefully.
However, the more he watched, the more shocked Lance's expression became, and a question that had been asked by countless civilizations flashed through his mind.
Are you sure this is a subsidiary civilization?
At this moment, Lance even had the urge to swear, but luckily he restrained himself.
"Is this true?"
He raised his head and confirmed to Chris with a trembling voice.
"Of course it is true, but this is for a civilization, and you obviously do not represent this civilization!"
After nodding, Chris said.
As Chris said, the Federation's Subsidiary Civilization Agreement is an agreement between civilizations, and Lance...
The display is not representative of the Langton Empire.
Of course, the federation will not be so rigid. It is okay to make special exceptions, but there will definitely be some conditions attached.
"Please speak clearly!"
Lance naturally understood what Chris meant, otherwise, Chris would not have had to show him the agreement and say so many words.
Now that I have said it, there must be other ways, but I don’t know what the cost is.
"The Federation wants ownership of all the Ello metal veins in the Weiss Galaxy Group!"
"At the same time, the Langton Empire will mine these mineral veins on behalf of the Federation in the future, and the mining costs will be paid by the Empire in the form of affiliated civilization points!"
Aiello metal?
What is this?
Lance was confused.
Looking at Lance who was a little dazed, Chris operated on the virtual interface and called up the information on Ai Luo Metal and displayed it in front of Lance.
"Lancer Ore?"
When Lance saw the information, he immediately recognized Ello Metal, which was what was called Lancer Ore in the Langton Empire.
This is a kind of material that is found everywhere in the Ves galaxy group. Because its hardness is much higher than other materials, it is often used by nobles to build houses and other infrastructure.
The Federation actually wants this?
Could it be that...this Lancer Ore has some secret existence that we don't know about?
"You don't have to think too much. If you haven't reached the eighth-level civilization, Ailuo Metal is as useless to you as a stone!"
Looking at Lance who was in deep thought, Chris said calmly.
This is not just nonsense, but it is the fact. Although the Federation has just entered the seventh-level civilization, dark energy technology is a proper landmark technology of the eighth-level civilization. Although the Federation has only mastered a little bit of it,
But there was nothing wrong with what Chris said.
Before reaching level 8 civilization, Ailuo metal is no different from ordinary stones to a civilization!
Well, there is nothing wrong with what he said, and Lance also came back from his thoughts.
Indeed, instead of worrying about the use of this Lancer ore, it is better to seize this opportunity, exchange for the support of the Federation, and completely overthrow the imperial nobles!
As for the Lancer ore, no, it's the Ello metal, what role it plays is not something that I should consider now.
Anyway, whether this thing is available or not has no impact on the empire at all. Since the Federation wants it, it doesn’t matter if it’s all given to them!
"Okay, I agree. As long as the Federation can help us overthrow the rule of the nobles, all the Ai Luo metal veins in the Weiss galaxy group belong to the Federation. Moreover, the newly born Langton Empire will legislate to prohibit any imperial people from digging and using it privately.
Aiello Metal.”
"Okay, now we can have a good chat about how much support you need!"
Chris was very satisfied with Lance's decision and clapped his hands and said.
…
Unknowingly, more than an hour passed again.
Until Lance was put back on the shuttle ship and left the Adam, he was still in disbelief.
I just ended up negotiating like this...
A major event destined to be recorded in the history of the empire!
