Chapter 1095: Summit of the Kingdom's Destiny
Chapter 1095: Summit of the Kingdom's Destiny
In the East Coast, El-Karvinyas, Lunovira Central City, Aurelium Palace, the seat of the Federation Executive Government.
Today, the Executive Government is hosting its annual year-end reception banquet, inviting many political and business leaders, as well as delegations from various countries.
After the new Governor took office, while paying attention to the Federation's military traditions, he devoted a large part of his energy to diplomacy. Over the past year, the invited visitors were not only the Dashun Republic but also the Corporate Federation, various regional powers, and the Continent Alliance, for which a series of negotiations were held.
The topics of discussion included global defense security and crisis management, which are actually old issues. However, picking them up again does not mean abandoning the pursuit of interests but rather that their strategic direction has started to shift from the original to global order reconstruction.
Although there is no official announcement yet, many countries' analyses generally believe that this major strategic adjustment may be based on the breakthrough of certain key technologies. One of them is the high-energy algae, which had previously sparked widespread speculation and may have been successfully researched.
In fact, the Dashun Republic also attracted a lot of attention at the exchange meeting, following the Federation's technological breakthrough path. However, internal structural adjustments are also underway in Dashun, and the Horizon Plan is progressing, attracting global attention. Just last month, another Central City joined the plan, and the speed of this merger may become faster and faster over time.
The fastest estimate is that within two years, most of the Central Cities in Dashun can be merged into one for information exchange, and once this integration is completed, it will greatly enhance Dashun's administrative efficiency and resource utilization capabilities.
The two world powers have made significant progress on their respective paths, although they have not yet completed them and there is no sign of who is more advanced. This undoubtedly puts great pressure on other countries and regions.
Many countries are trying to find their position in this technological and strategic competition to avoid being marginalized and weakened in the future international situation.
However, the time actually spent by the representatives on negotiations is not long. Most of the time is spent on feasting and playing, because several world powers have not yet reached a clear conclusion in this diplomatic meeting, and they are still in the observation period.
In the West Wing of Aurelium Palace, the Valori Reception Hall, the floor is made of a complex and solemn pattern with black obsidian and golden marble tiles. The hall is softly and brightly lit, and a huge Federation emblem flag hangs on the wall, shimmering with light.
At this moment, three people are sitting in the middle of the hall.
Xiang Boqing, the Security General Advisor of the Proto-Humanity Company, sits on the west side. He is wearing a black fitted suit, leaning against a thick armchair, with his legs crossed, and his posture appears very relaxed.
He rests one hand on the armrest and holds a book in the other hand. The pages of the book turn automatically every three seconds if you pay attention.
And sitting opposite him are two other people.
One of them has a relatively narrow head, and just sitting there is enough to be four meters high, about fifty years old, with a slightly curly golden beard down to his chest, and his hair is also scattered, falling to the shoulders, but it is very neat.
He is wearing a very old-fashioned black dress, like a kind and long-lived person, and next to his shoes is a very docile sheepdog, but compared to his body, it looks like a small toy.
This is the Chief Security Officer Severth Delarckhom from Norlann, and his company, the Tower Whale Company, is headquartered in Norlann, and like the Proto-Humanity Company, it is a world giant enterprise.
And Igor Karnelov from Noralos Theocratic Kingdom, the Tower Whale Company, is a national enterprise, so he also has the title of the Guardian Corps' leader.
Igor does not give the traditional sense of Noralos as a rough and unrestrained feeling. Instead, he is the smallest of them.
His face is feminine, with slender limbs and white hair, and he has green eyes. At this moment, he rests his chin on his hand, half-squinting his eyes, and his body looks scattered, feeling like a drowsy ice wolf.
Those who can sit in this circular reception hall are all top-ranked martial artists in the world. It is difficult to evaluate the combat power of martial artists because there is no authoritative institution that can objectively and comprehensively evaluate all martial artists in the world, and these martial artists will not leak out their data and body information at will.
So the most intuitive characterization of these martial artists is their influence, which is the analysis and evaluation of the active consciousness of the Federation and the world's major powers, and it is now accepted by various countries and regions.
After all, martial artists recognized by giant enterprises and countries must first win in internal competition; otherwise, it is impossible to come to the position they belong to. And only strong countries and giant enterprises can provide the resources they need, so this system has its own reasonable place.
Of course, influence does not directly equal combat power, but it is a very important evaluation standard, which plays a crucial supporting role in the confidence and market of various countries.
At this moment, Igor suddenly spoke to Xiang Boqing: "I've been paying attention to you for a long time. That's Fourier's Cipher Book, right?"
He gestured to the book in the latter's hand and then tapped his own head.
"An ancient technique, by reading information into your head, can enhance resistance to external pollution.
He spread his hands, "But I feel it's useless."
Although he spoke in Federation Language, it was with a thick Noralos accent.
Xiang Boqing didn't even lift his head and said, "There's no harm in trying."
"What's the point of trying? I said it's useless."
Igor leaned forward, his hands resting on his knees, staring at Xiang Boqing, and said provocatively, "Since it's boring anyway, why don't we give it a try? Believe me, that book is more useful than you think."
Xiang Boqing glanced at him and said, "I'm not interested."
Just as he was saying this, his book-flipping rhythm slowed down slightly, almost imperceptibly, yet both of them seemed to notice something. Igor, in particular, showed a keen interest.
Xiang Boqing had just felt that the power he had sent out had disappeared.
Now, his half-arm was actually only a layer of skin existing there, with the flesh and bones inside being empty, but even so, using it was no different from a normal arm.
After the flesh and blood disappeared from that part, the flesh and bones inside the skin regrew, filling it up once again, and he himself only slightly narrowed his eyes.
In the East Wing Hahov Hall, Tu Haisheng, the deputy commander of the Dashun First Delegation, was talking with several officials from the Executive Government Secretariat, among them was Olin, a senior government official who had just returned from Dashun.
Tu Haisheng said, "Gentlemen, as you know, the West Coast is full of sectarian elements everywhere. When we travel in that area, for our own safety, we also have to exercise our right to self-defense. The Federation has also promised us in advance."
"Yes." Olin spread his hands, "The West Coast is a gathering place for lunatics, fanatics, and religious fanatics. It's not surprising what they do."
Tu Haisheng emphasized, "So this time, it's not our fault, and we haven't violated the Federation's laws. Our team members are only conducting a sightseeing trip on Federation territory, but we have suffered an unjustified attack. This is not what we should encounter as guests, and we deserve respect."
"No mistake, those West Coasters are really impolite."
Olin looked at him with agreement.
"I have personally contacted Mr. Chen, and he is a very courteous, polite, and likable fighter. So I believe this is not an impulsive act of his. But it's indeed a result of real coercion."
But Mr. Tu, the Executive Government attaches great importance to this matter. No matter what those people did, it still belongs to our Federation's power.
This time, several free media from the fighter groups reported the incident in advance, and the Governor was very concerned about the life of every Federation citizen. He must give an account to the public and the media, a decent one.
Tu Haisheng said, "I respect and understand your handling, but I think that in this matter, we can always find a proper way to end it, so as not to affect our cooperation."
"Yes, yes."
Tu Haisheng said, "We will compensate the families and close relatives of the victims reasonably."
Olin asked, "Is that all?"
Tu Haisheng looked at the other party, "Please tell the Governor that we respect him and are willing to help him calm the incident, but we represent Dashun, so please also respect us."
Olin glanced at him, shrugged, and then looked at his watch, stood up and said, "In ten minutes, I'll go and meet the Governor and convey your opinion to him."
Tu Haisheng also stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with him, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Just as the two were discussing outside the door, two accompanying military officers from Dashun stood there, the one on the left asked, "Why is the Eastern Coast Faction so fixated on this incident? The Western Coasters lost power, shouldn't they be happy?"
The person on the opposite side said, "After all, they are Federation people. United externally, internally consistent, well, I heard that this time, a high-ranking member of the Primitive Sect also disappeared." His tone was filled with schadenfreude.
"Tsk tsk."
The military officer on the left obviously knew that the Primitive Sect was a different kind of sect. He thought for a moment and said, "If it's just the West Coasters, it's fine, but if it involves this sect, that's a bit tricky."
But that person is really bold and powerful. I heard that this time, he single-handedly killed three Eternal Life Realm fighters. He really did it beautifully..."
"Cough cough."
The etiquette officer on the opposite side spoke up, reminding them that they were in someone else's capital, and that the two of them shouldn't continue discussing so freely.
Just then, the two military officers saw a tall figure approaching, and immediately straightened up and saluted.
Fan Zhentong came from the opposite side, standing at the door, took off his hat, and smoothed his hair, asking, "How's it going?"
The officer immediately came out and said, "Commander Tu is inside discussing."
Fan Zhentong said, "Just tell Commander Tu that you don't need to be too polite to them. We are from Dashun, and they can do whatever they want..." He put on his hat, "We'll accompany you to the end."
