Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"Miss Linda's visit this time isn't just for reminiscing about the old days, is it?"

Peace talks?

Since the last World War I, "UNSC" has disappeared, and Li Meng is not interested in looking for it.

As long as "UNSC" does not appear, as long as the base camp of "UNSC" is not found by the exploration fleet, everyone can live in peace.

Now that the exploration fleet has been withdrawn, the "UNSC" sent envoys this time should not be stimulated by the empire.

What is that for?
Linda asked: "I don't know if your power knows what happened in the S-01904 star system?"

S-01904 star system?
Looking at Linda's beautiful face, Li Meng thought quickly in his heart.

Linda didn't talk about the S-01904 star system for no reason, did something happen?

Li Meng speculated with great interest: "It can't be some idiot who has occupied the S-01904 star system."

Hearing this, Linda froze for a moment, showing a strange expression.

Did he know it in advance, or did he just guess?
Linda smiled and said: "Your Excellency is really smart, you really guessed it, the "Xinjing Shogunate" occupied the S-01904 star system a month ago, and declared that the S-01904 star system is the territory of the "Xinjing Shogunate", Anyone who enters or leaves the trade mall must pay toll tax, as well as a 10% transaction tax."

"Xinjing Shogunate"?
This is the first time Li Meng has heard of this force.

However, judging from the name, it should be a Japanese force.

After all, the shogunate comes from Japan's history, and people from other countries would not take such a name.

When he thought of the Japanese, Li Meng thought of Gundam.

Thinking of this, Li Meng asked, "Is the "Xinjing Shogunate" the one that owns the Mobile Suit Gundam technology template?"

Linda nodded and said, "That's right, it's them..."

It's really them...

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Meng's eyes.

In just two years, it was unexpected that the "Xinjing Shogunate" had the ability to control the S-01904 star system.

Confidence or stupidity?
Linda said again: "This time I am here to discuss with your forces about the crusade against the "Xinjing Shogunate". If your forces are willing, "UNSC" is willing to put aside all conflicts with your forces, work together, form an alliance, The Shinkyo Shogunate "expels the S-01904 star system."

After the words fell, Linda looked around calmly.

Why is he alone?
What Linda said made Li Meng ponder.

Form an alliance?

Is this the purpose of Linda's trip?

Naturally, Li Meng was very afraid of the "Xinjing Shogunate"'s occupation of the S-01904 star system.

Because the trade mall is the place where all humans on earth unlock technology.

Who would want to pay a large amount of taxes once they are controlled by others?
Also, it's not a matter of willing or not.

Most importantly, the behavior of the "Xinjing Shogunate" in collecting taxes is undoubtedly announcing to others that in the S star area, the "Xinjing Shogunate" is the only overlord, and other people must pay tribute to enter the S-01904 star system .

"UNSC" couldn't bear it, so naturally Li Meng couldn't bear it either.

but……

"The "UNSC" has aggressively attacked our base camp, and now it only wants to eliminate all conflicts based on the will of the "Alliance". You are very calculating."

Facing Li Meng's half-smile look, Linda showed embarrassment.

The act of "UNSC" attacking the S-01888 star system is a fact, and sophistry is useless.

Putting away the embarrassment on her face, Linda smiled and said, "Your Excellency Li Meng, there are priorities, why don't you temporarily put aside the conflict with the "UNSC" and give priority to solving the common enemy of "Xinjing Shogunate", I think, Your Excellency Li Meng is also unwilling to see the "Xinjing Shogunate" gain a firm foothold in the S-01904 star system."

This woman is indeed very smart.

She knows what's most important.

And the content of the conversation also revolved around this key point.

As Linda said, Li Meng certainly does not want to see the "Xinjing Shogunate" gain a firm foothold in the S-01904 star system.

Do you want to promise?

With a thoughtful look on his face, Li Meng fell into deep thought.

Right now the Empire is fighting head-to-head with the "Federation of Freedom and Democracy".

If the fleet is dispatched on a large scale, the safety of the S-01919 star system cannot be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Li Meng sighed in his heart.

Why didn't this woman come earlier, if she came one day earlier.

Regarding the "free and democratic federation"'s demarcation line, peaceful coexistence, and joint development requests, he will not refuse so casually.

But is that really the case?

Could it be that just because the "Xinjing Shogunate" occupied the S-01904 star system, he would choose to draw a line with the "Freedom and Democracy Federation", live in peace, and develop together, in order to be able to get away from dealing with the "Xinjing Shogunate"?
No, even if Linda arrives first, he will not agree.

If you agree, the S-01919 star system will not be able to become the new base camp of the empire.

Set aside disputes, jointly develop, draw boundaries, once agreed, it will become a fait accompli.

The S-01919 star system will no longer belong to the Empire, but will belong to both the Empire and the "Federation of Freedom and Democracy".

Li Meng thought of the "Federation of Liberty and Democracy" again.

The fleet of the "Freedom and Democracy Federation" suddenly withdrew from the S-01919 star system. Li Meng has been thinking about why they did this.

Is it related to what happened in the S-01904 star system?

If this is the case, then the "Xinjing Shogunate" really poked a hornet's nest this time.

Thinking of this, Li Meng made a decision in his heart.

As Linda said, there are priorities, and he must join in the fun.

Just as Li Meng was about to agree, Linda's voice sounded again.

"If we can defeat the "Xinjing Shogunate", the alliance will be able to occupy the S-01904 star system. If your forces are willing to join the alliance, "UNSC" is willing to give you a share of the profits as a sign of apology. In this way, it is very beneficial Among them, UNSC accounts for three points, and noble forces account for four points, with the highest profit. I think this is enough to prove the sincerity of "UNSC."

It is indeed very sincere, and the gap between the three-point profit and the four-point profit is still very large.

"UNSC" is willing to give up profits. This is an attitude, an attitude of bowing your head.

However, "UNSC" takes [-]% of the profit, the Empire takes [-]% of the profit, and where does the remaining [-]% go?

Li Meng asked again: "Are there other forces joining the alliance?"

Linda smiled and said, "Of course, apart from your power, the Dawn Council has joined the alliance. Like your power, this power is a Chinese power and has the "Second Galaxy" technology template."

"Second Galaxy" technology template?

As a game fanatic, Li Meng is very familiar with this mobile game.

No wonder the "UNSC" would look to the Empire as the third force to join the alliance.
