It was still the familiar virtual conference room, with Lin Zhen, Lin Fan and Aaliya sitting around the table.
Speaking of which, Aaliya seems to have evolved a bit after not seeing her for so many years.
Compared with what I saw during the last interview, the skin that was originally as rough as tree bark is much more delicate, and the still unclear facial features are also a little more refined now.
If this trend continues, Alya will probably evolve into a human form completely, right?
Lin Fan couldn't help but think so in his heart when he saw how Aaliya looked like now.
"Queen Alia, you have caused a lot of trouble to our federation this time!"
"Thanks to you, the Federation is now in quite a mess. It will probably take quite some time to fully recover."
When the three of them sat down, Lin Zhen was the first to speak, his tone full of anger.
To be honest, this was the most troublesome incident after Lin Zhen became president. If it weren't for Lin Fan, in a few years all the top officials of the entire federation might even be controlled by the Zerg, thus completely becoming the Zerg's puppet civilization.
This is not alarmist at all, but something that is very likely to happen.
Every time he thought of this, Lin Zhen couldn't help but get angry.
Of course, this is only what she shows on the surface, but she is actually quite anxious inside.
The Void Raiders' plan to invade the Federation failed, and Verster was facing a complete collapse, all of which made her extremely anxious.
However, no matter how anxious you are, you must not let the other party notice it in this important negotiation.
As a queen whose thinking and logic has been moving closer to humans, Alia is very aware of this.
"Okay, Aaliyah, stop pretending like that!"
"Now, the situation in the Wilster Supercluster is about to collapse, right?"
Seeing Aaliya's somewhat fake calmness, Lin Fan smiled and said.
This suddenly made Aria's heart skip a beat.
You must know that Alia only learned from Ed, who was controlled by the Void Predator, that the Federation used a remote detection technology to know that the Zerg had a war with an unknown civilization in the Wilster Super Galaxy Cluster.
.
However, after all, they are several light-years away. Even if the Federation relies on this technology to get a rough idea of the situation, it is absolutely impossible to know such detailed battle conditions.
But now, Lin Fan looked like he knew the situation in Verster very well, which made Alia feel troubled.
"And I also know that if you continue to intervene with the Federation now, otherwise, within a year at most, you will completely lose the Wilster Super Galaxy Cluster, thus opening the door to the Kebinia Super Galaxy Cluster!"
"By that time, the Zerg race will probably face the crisis of annihilation, right?"
"So, are you sure you still want to waste time here with us? How about being more frank and direct?"
Lin Fan's words could be said to have hit Aliya hard, but for a moment, Aliya didn't know how to refute.
Of course, Alia is the queen of a clan with high intelligence after all. After a brief period of confusion, she quickly recovered.
"Indeed, what you said is correct. If the current situation continues, the Zerg race may indeed face the crisis of annihilation."
"But...if the Kebinia Super Galaxy Cluster is occupied by these purgatory creatures, and you don't have me to help you buffer, then it will not be good for the Federation next, right?"
"So, this time we should help each other, rather than the Zerg unilaterally requesting federal help!"
Pa..paa..paa...
After Aaliyah finished speaking, rhythmic applause erupted in the virtual conference room.
"Her Majesty the Queen is really good at speaking!"
"However, I have to correct a misunderstanding of yours!"
"You're right. Without your buffer, it will indeed bring some threats to our federation, but that... is just a threat!"
"You should know that our Federation controls that thing, the thing that almost wiped out your race a hundred thousand years ago!"
"So, even if you fail, the worst we can do is follow the example of the Saint-Vintian Empire and blast another Boötes hole in the Kempinian Super Galaxy Cluster."
"After all, this is not the territory of our federation. Even if the entire Kempinian Super Galaxy Cluster is destroyed, for our federation, it will only lose the expansion port in one direction, but it will not
It will bring a catastrophic crisis to the federation, won’t it?”
In fact, what Lin Fan said is absolutely correct. Even if the Federation does not form a united front with the Zerg, it will not bring a devastating crisis to its own civilization. At best, it is nothing more than a threat!
Therefore, the Federation does not necessarily have to form an alliance with the Zerg.
Of course, if it were just the Second Purgatory Legion of Ipnos, there would be nothing wrong with this theory.
However, what Lin Fan was thinking about was the force behind Ipnos and the true strength of this force!
After all, no one knows whether the Purgatory Legion of Ipnos is all of this force, or a part of it, or in other words, only an insignificant part of it.
Therefore, the Zerg buffer is still needed for the Federation, and forming a joint front with the Zerg to fight against the invasion of purgatory creatures is a decision that Lin Zhen and Lin Fan have long discussed.
However, even if we have made preparations for such a decision in the end, it does not mean that the Zerg will not have to pay any price and the Federation will help selflessly.
"So, Queen Alia, as I said before, be more frank and direct and tell us what price you Zerg are prepared to pay in order to get the federation to take action?"
Aaliya had a headache as Lin Fan simply closed all the doors.
Can we still have a good negotiation?
But this price makes Alia a little confused. After all, the Federation is a technological civilization, while the Zerg is a biological civilization.
These two civilizations are two parallel lines that will never intersect in normal times. Scientific and technological civilization has things that biological civilization does not need, and similarly, biological civilization has things that scientific and technological civilization does not need.
So the question becomes, what price do the Zerg have to pay to get the two guys in front of them to nod in agreement?
After thinking for a long time, Aliya couldn't figure out what she could give.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Since you can't think of anything, just kick the ball back and let the other party ask for a price.
