(Thank you to Deng Wei for the 200,000 reward. The achievement of the Storm Alliance Leader. If I had known that one slap would reward 100,000, I would have beaten Lear to death. Haha!)
SIG was actually an advanced version of IG. Regardless of the range of participating students, age, or ability, there was a completely different upgrade. The age limit was 16 to 30, and the competition would also include a portion of "overage students". In summary, it was just a concept.
All in all, it was just a concept. In fact, all these years, the SIG was not as good as the IG. The various countries still paid more attention to the IG. It was mainly a comprehensive evaluation of the young people of each country, and had a strong reference value. However, the SIG was not always about being strong. Some countries felt that it was meaningless. After all, there were special competitions in the military, and the students also had IG. And the SIG, which was in between, was of little value. If they lost, they would lose face. If they won, others would not buy it. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the various countries to participate was not very high.
In the past, SIG was not taken seriously because there was no focus. In terms of individual items, the competition between the various countries' armies was crueler and more direct, challenging the limits of the human body. In terms of individual comprehensive evaluation, the advantage of IG was more obvious. And now, after Elite Academy X had promoted the "Greatest King Competition," almost everyone realized that the focus of SIG should be on small-scale special team battles.
It could fully reflect the military qualities of a military school, as well as stimulate the students' individual leadership and teamwork.
A student who knew how to lead, or who knew how to cooperate, integrated into society and the military, had a higher chance of completing a transformation, and a higher chance of becoming a general.
Well, actually, that was all floating clouds.
The important thing was that this year's SIG host country had changed from the Republic of Boral to the Aslan Empire.
Because of domestic financial problems, the Republic of Boral had not completed the basic infrastructure construction. The country was too lax, and did not even have a place for the delegation to stay. They had also tactfully withdrawn.
Because of this, it was too late for a public election. At this time, the Aslan Empire had taken the initiative to host an unprecedented SIG, to give the military schools of the world a fair stage to showcase their abilities!
What did that mean?
Elite Academy X should not close its doors and call itself king, and treat others like fools. Here, the Greatest King was!
In the past, these kinds of competitions were relatively low-key. Only the relevant people in the industry would pay attention to them. But this time, Aslan's strong public relations power was still very fierce. The hype was shocking. SIG was just a name. Aslan needed such an international name. The rest was completely new.
Because of this, Prime Minister Kashawen held a special press conference, promising that the SIG held by Aslan this time would be unprecedentedly grand, fully demonstrating the power of the Milky Way Alliance.
"Prime Minister Kashawen, I am a reporter from Milky Way Watch. I heard that you have successfully invited the Atlantis Empire and the Maya Empire to send their representatives to battle. In the past, they would not have participated in SIG?"
Kashawen had a peaceful smile on her face. "This SIG will be improved in all aspects. The students and warriors involved are the future core of our Milky Way Alliance. There will be the most comprehensive test, both individually and as a team. As a part of the Milky Way Alliance, the Atlantis Empire and the Maya Empire are also very willing to exchange pointers. At that time, everyone can feel the strongest clash."
Obviously, Kashawen emphasized the word 'strongest'.
"Prime Minister Kashawen, I am a reporter from the Solar System Times. The Aslan Empire has taken over halfway, and the scale is unprecedented. Will the infrastructure and battle arrangements be in time?"
"Please believe in Aslan. This country has never disappointed anyone." Kashawen's voice was very calm, but domineering. The eyes of the Aslan people present were burning.
This was national pride. Aslan was indeed awesome. They had money, technology, and high efficiency. Only Aslan would dare to say this.
Although Arbiter's military power was strong, they were still slightly inferior in this aspect.
There was also a round of applause below the stage. Kashawen had made such a promise, which meant that there would definitely be no problems.
You had to know that you could let people participate. For the sake of Aslan, everyone would be willing to participate. But if it was not done well, then you would offend everyone. Moreover, Aslan had to show some sincerity.
"We have set up a high prize for this SIG. Of course, this is not for the individual warriors, but for the school they represent. It will become a scholarship. As for whether the school will reward them, it is not up to me to decide." Kashawen smiled. Suddenly, the whole audience burst into kind smiles.
The Aslan Empire had provided a high prize worth five billion, and the teams that entered the top eight would receive this prize.
It was fine to say that she was rich and capricious. In fact, she had another intention, which was to expand the influence of the Aslan Empire through the title of the scholarship. This was something that Aslan had always spared no effort in.
"Prime Minister Kashawen, I am a reporter from Roland Garros Spacetime. We are all looking forward to this SIG. I heard that Arbiter, Manalasuo, and other countries have already responded. But how are the quotas allocated for each country?"
"As for the specific quota allocation, we have referred to the results of previous IG competitions. The quota allocation is based on the Da Alliance's participation. We still have to give outstanding talents a chance to showcase themselves."
Kashawen's handling of the media was already at the point of perfection, enough to satisfy everyone.
But this reporter did not stop there. "Prime Minister Kashawen, I have another question. Some people say that the reason why Aslan is hosting this SIG is because the Aslan team returned in defeat in the Elite Academy Competition. They want to use this competition to make a comeback. May I ask if this is true? Have you seen those competitions?"
This Roland Garros reporter was really not afraid of death. But everyone's interest was ignited. In fact, some of the people present felt the same way. Kashawen smiled easily.
"I haven't seen the competitions, but I heard that the Aslan and Arbiter teams have lost to a bunch of youngsters. Frankly, as an Aslan person, I wish I could take the field myself. But as a member of the Milky Way Alliance, I think this is normal. It can make everyone face themselves and improve. This is also the purpose of us hosting the IG, the Special Forces Competition, and the SIG. We can learn from each other and give more opportunities to young people. At the same time, we can also discover more talents."
Kashawen's words immediately drew applause from the audience. Victory and defeat were common in war. It was just a competition, and it did not mean anything. Looking at her magnanimity, and Kashawen's speech was also very artistic. Aslan was not the only one who had lost. Arbiter had also lost. Suddenly, everyone did not feel that it was a problem anymore.
The Greatest King of Elite Academy X had a certain amount of influence in the military school. But in terms of society, it was still quite a minority. They might have heard of it, but who really cared? There were too many big things that happened every year.
Faced with the long guns and short cannons of the various media, Kashawen resolved it. There was no doubt that after this press conference, the various countries would be very interested.
As long as the main dozen strong countries were participating, the other countries would not have a problem. No one would want to miss such a grand event. At the same time, this was also an opportunity.
After leaving the press conference, Kashawen's secretary had already come to her side.
"In the future, ban that reporter from entering. At the same time, personally keep an eye on the Royal College. Only success, not failure."
"Understood, Prime Minister."
The secretary nodded. Kashawen only needed to explain a concept, and he would know what to do.
For example, that reporter. He would definitely have to find a dignified reason.
And a large part of the reason for this SIG was because of Elite Academy X's loss.
The Imperial Glory battle team had lost too badly. It was fine if they had lost, but they had cheated when the two princesses were present. Regardless of whether it was for international or domestic considerations, there was a need to salvage the situation.
Of course, with Elite Academy X's promotion, Aslan could use the opportunity to host SIG and expand their international influence. It was killing many birds with one stone. Otherwise, even if Aslan spent energy to promote, the participation of other countries might not be high. At least Arbiter would not buy it.
This time, Arbiter was also very proactive.
Arbiter was clearly depressed. The Van brothers had made a move, but they had been defeated. All the major military schools in the country were in chaos. The key was that they had lost too badly.
On the surface, they were all cheerful. Friendship first, competition second. But who did not know that they were here to win? Everything else was fleeting.
The only uncertainty now was the attitude of the Atlantis Empire and the Maya Empire. Would they participate like in the past, or would they fight seriously?
There was still some time before SIG. It would not be long before everyone would find out.
Alone in the lounge, he quietly drank a cup of authentic Cloud Peak Mist Black Tea. The market price of this cup was more than a hundred thousand. The key was that there was no market for it. Of course, to Prime Minister Kashawen, it was no different from plain water.
He switched on his Skylink. Although SIG had not started, the information from all the countries had arrived. Elite Academy X was definitely at the top.
Aslan was not interested in the Milky Way Alliance's self-serving behavior. As a parliament for the people, Elite Academy X should be serving with its tail between its legs. They had actually publicized it publicly. Hence, Aslan had mobilized their power to attack the Milky Way Alliance's parliament. The Milky Way Alliance headquarters included the parliament. The only position was that of a public servant. They could not have small group interests or emotions.
This was politics. Kashawen was familiar with it. She could teach them a lesson with one move. But this young man in front of her …
He had actually appeared in front of her once again …
On the spaceship, Wang Zheng sneezed. Not long after, he sneezed again. So many people had missed him recently.
He liked to travel. Relatively speaking, he preferred sunnier places like Titatitan Star. Maklou was too dark. As an old mining planet, beneath the prosperity and extravagance was a planet with declining vitality. Perhaps it was the influence of the Primordial Regression Technique. Wang Zheng was very sensitive. He hoped that Tita Star and Maklou's union would form a very good complement.
It had been a few days. Maklou's situation should have completely stabilized. He had thought that the Saint Church would make a move, but in reality, there was no movement at all. This was an organization that could afford to lose. Once they failed, they would immediately disappear without a trace.
But thinking that they had actually "transformed" Yue Jing into this, Wang Zheng felt an indescribable anger in his heart.
Lear was clearly in the know, but he seemed to be the one who was the least informed.
This guy was like a cobblestone. There was no place to start.
