In the end, it felt like we broke up on bad terms. Although Xiao Ran was smiling the whole time, less than ten people out of more than a hundred people expressed their friendliness and willingness to cooperate to Xiao Ran. Most people They all walked away, and the most indifferent ones were only the seven leaders. They nodded calmly to Xiao Ran, a man of unknown origin who appeared from nowhere, and followed the servants away calmly under the arrangement of Cardias.
Xiao Ran has kept those less than ten people in mind, and can still be friendly to himself in such a situation. Usually such people are smart people who know how to assess the situation, and the smarter they are, they know exactly how to choose. For Xiao Ran, the smarter they are, the greater the possibility of cooperation.
Under the arrangement of Cardias, the seven leaders each went to their own small building. Cardias did not rush to take Xiao Ran with them after they arrived at the resting place. went there, but it was delayed for two hours. During the two hours, Cardias and Xiao Ran had been discussing who should be used as the breakthrough point.
Choosing a breakthrough point must be a very cautious matter, even if the other party is likely to be attracted by your side and enter the camp, because if it fails, Xiao Ran will have to kill ruthlessly in order to keep the secret, and this will also cause twists and turns in future plans.
The two discussed it and concluded that among the seven people, those from the privileged faction were definitely not allowed to come into contact, and there were too many members from the military faction. It was impossible to contact the veteran faction because they were too involved, and there were three people who were easiest to win over. The first one was a ruthless man from the civilian faction, a man named Maxi, who was a federal general and also had his own power in the military.
The remaining two are members of Moderate Faction. The members of Moderate Faction are more interested in the stability of the situation. A stable situation can bring greater benefits to the companies, families and consortiums behind them. They have the highest economic strength and are typical wallflowers. But it is precisely such wallflowers who control the economic lifeline of the entire Federation and do not really conflict with anyone from any faction.
And for the sake of profit, and it is tangible benefit, endless benefit, the possibility of winning over Moderate Faction's people is also quite high. After all, in this year's war, Moderate Faction suffered the biggest blow due to the plunder of the war.
Xiao Ran thought for a long time. After Cardias thoroughly analyzed the situation of several factions, he lightly tapped the table with his hand. "Then contact Moderate Faction's people first. Since they are interested in peace and interests, The general situation is the most powerful for them, and Super Space Jump Engine is also a temptation that they cannot refuse, and it will not be a real conflict with any faction, so even if they do not agree to us immediately, they will maintain goodwill towards us and leave the possibility of cooperation."
"As for Marcus from Commoner Faction, he must be a sensible person to have climbed from a civilian to the present level. If we want to win him over, we must let him see the possibility of our success. We must also give him benefits and rights that he cannot refuse. We can promise him to control two large exploration fleets after the war subsides."
Cardias nodded and said, "Then the other people also need to paralyze them. Even if we don't talk about soliciting cooperation, we still need them to know the existence of Super Space Jump Engine, so as to buy us some time to calm down the anger of those people. In the process of development, we also need them to act as a protective umbrella for us."
Xiao Ran smiled and glanced at Cardias: "You should know the methods of businessmen better than I do. It doesn't matter if the things are not in their hands anyway. I will reveal something from time to time to whet their appetite. After a while, I will continue to win over. Now Char still needs time, and we are not in a hurry."
Cardias nodded and stood up. "Then let's arrange the two adults first."
Cardias and Xiao Ran walked out of the reception building, got into a car that didn't look very conspicuous, and drove towards the place where the two Moderate Faction were currently resting. Cardias also made special arrangements for the resting spots for the seven people. Even if they were separated, they had a way to enter the resting place for the seven people without being discovered by others.
However, since we have decided to make something like Super Space Jump Engine public, there is no need to be secretive. Everyone will know it in the end anyway, so we placed the two Moderate Faction people openly.
At this time, two members of Moderate Faction were discussing what was going to happen at the meeting today. One was named Bill and the other was named Jos. They heard Cardias and Xiao Ran looked at each other and smiled when they came to visit. They didn't think there was anything strange. They seemed to have concluded that the two of them would come to see them. However, they didn't expect that they would have to wait for a full two hours.
It was these two hours of buffering that allowed Bill and Jos to have no idea who the first person Cardias and Xiao Ran were to visit fell to the ground. It also gave them the illusion that Cardias had been in contact with someone else., this illusion is precisely what Cardias and Xiao Ran want. Once they propose cooperation, they will reflexively think about whether someone has already agreed to Cardias and Xiao Ran, thus putting psychological pressure on them.
Bill and Jos greeted Xiao Ran and Cardias at the door. They looked quite friendly with warm smiles on their faces, and they didn't mention it at all at first. The purpose of Cardias's visit was to talk to Xiao Ran and Cardias about the application of M1 Astray and the possibility of popularizing it in Earth Federation.
Xiao Ran answered some questions for the two of them, but after all, he did not come with the purpose of being polite. Since the other party did not bring the topic to the main topic, Xiao Ran had no time to waste time with the two of them. After looking at Cardias, Cardias took out a tablet computer from the handbag he carried and handed it to the two of them.
Xiao Ran also spoke at this time, "Although it is very presumptuous, but before the conversation that is going to take place next, can you please ask all the people around you to leave?"
Jos and Bill looked at each other and nodded with a smile. Bill raised his hand and shook it. Soon several people appeared in Xiao Ran's eyes and left in a hurry. As for whether there is anyone left behind, Xiao Ran didn't want to go into too much detail. He just said, "If there is anyone left, it must be the two of you's close confidants. I don't think it matters if you know some secrets. So please take a look at the information on the computer first."
Bill picked up the tablet on the table while maintaining a smile, but after taking a first look at it, the smile on his face instantly froze, and his mouth opened unknowingly.
Jos looked at the change of expression on the face of his friend Bill, and snatched the tablet from Bill's hand in confusion. After a quick look, the expression was almost exactly the same as Bill's. Xiao Ran looked at the expressions of the two people and smiled slightly, and said, "You two may have had doubts about me controlling so many shares of Anaheim Company before, so I wonder if you have any other questions after you saw this thing?"
"Is this true!" Bill immediately leaned forward and looked at Xiao Ran excitedly. "How could this kind of technology appear at this time? Are you sure you are not trying to make fun of us two?"
"Of course not. I can tell you with certainty that products based on this technology have already started their first experimental exploration some time ago. If you don't believe it, Anaheim Company can also create a second super Space Jump Engine. You just need to wait for a short period of time."
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, and then said, "Well, you two, I think this technology can bring about huge changes in the world, and the future will inevitably be an era of great exploration of the universe. I wonder if you two are willing to join in and share a share of this vast and unknown universe?"
Bill was about to nod, but Jos stopped him. Although Jos's face was also indescribably excited, because he knew very well how much such technology could bring to the world. How much benefit will they gain from the changes, but Jos is more cautious, and wants to know the real purpose of Xiao Ran and Cardias using this technology.
Jos asked cautiously, "With such technology, even if we only hold 3% of the shares, it will be a huge benefit that cannot be counted. I want to know why you would come up with such a thing to invest in Anaheim, and what is your purpose."
"It's easy to talk to smart people." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "I wonder what you two think of the bombing at the beginning of Earth Federation's establishment."
Jos and Bill frowned. The impact of that incident on Federation and even the entire world was too great. Until now, there has been no real conclusion on the cause of the explosion. Even if the two of them were in Earth Federation The power in is extremely powerful, but after all, it happened more than seventy and nearly eighty years ago. They were not born at that time, and there are no more than ten people in Earth Federation who know such a secret. It is completely normal that the two of them don't know about it.
But although the two of them were not sure about the true cause of that incident, they were in high positions after all, so some information would still reach their ears, but they were not so sure. And I also vaguely know that that time seems to be related to Anaheim Company, otherwise Anaheim Company would not be taken care of by Federation from the top to the bottom.
Xiao Ran looked at the expressions of the two people and knew that they were not clear about the world at that time. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid you two don't know the real situation at that time, so let me explain it to you."
"The time of the explosion was the day when Earth Federation was actually announced. On that day, a document that should have been published was covered up by history..."
With a smile, Xiao Ran spoke out the explosion in his own words and description bit by bit. With the mention of Original Constitution, especially the appearance of some clauses in Original Constitution, Bill and Jos immediately widened their eyes, and there was a trace of panic in their eyes at some point.
How the two of them wished at this time that they had never heard these things at all, and also hoped that Xiao Ran and Cardias had never been here at all, because the secrets they learned now were too heavy and too terrifying. If they did not do it right, it would implicate the entire Earth Federation, the current situation of the earth and the universe, and directly implicate the lives of them and their families.
Jos swallowed a sip of saliva, his throat moved, and he lit a cigarette for himself with trembling hands. After taking a deep breath, he said in a dry and slightly trembling voice, "Why are you telling us this? What does this have to do with you."
"Let's put it this way, Super Space Jump Engine is one core, and the other core is Newtype. As early as the establishment of Earth Federation, the leaders at that time had already concluded the emergence of Newtype, and the emergence of Newtype to lead a completely war-free earth into the universe was a plan that had been made a long time ago."
"So at that time, Special Treatment was the fundamental charter for the inhabitants of the universe. After humans entered the universe, changes in the environment would inevitably lead to human evolution. The visionaries at that time discovered that if human consciousness could not be unified and the war could not be ended, then even if If humans set foot in the universe, it will only bring more wars to the universe. Between humans and humans, and between humans and Alien Lifeforms, if humans set foot in the universe at that time, the scale of the war will only become larger and larger, and in the end it will only lead to the extinction of humans."
"The emergence of Newtype has enabled these people who are speculated to have the ability to communicate with each other to become a bridge between humans and between humans and other living beings. If they continue to develop, they will eventually become old humans who cannot evolve and are led by Newtype, even if there was no real mention at the time. There is no concept of space development, but the Special Treatment mentioned in Original Constitution affects the interests of many people, so an explosion occurred, causing the real Earth Federation to be controlled by a group of Rebels."
"The real Earth Federation, Inheritors, has been hiding in the darkness and silently completing the visionary's plan, until now it finally came to fruition." Xiao Ran smiled at the two people again and continued, "Actually, the M1 Astray shown today is just It was only after the appearance of the MS that the technology developed by Inheritors was gathered. The original design was not like this, but a deformable fighter with the ability to jump through space and break through the atmosphere. However, the emergence of the MS also allowed us to see the combat performance of this MS, so it was developed as a supplement."
"I said so many things that sound insignificant. I think you should understand what I am talking about. A technological development that transcends the times cannot be developed without strong support, firm belief, and a long enough time. Now the war between Federation and Zeon has affected the entire human race, so... this battle should be over, and the authority of Earth Federation... should also be returned."
