Prince Solomon of the Kaiser Empire.
The Empire and the Federation had long been in close contact, especially in the area of trade. Both sides had their own needs and wanted to control the other. The Federation wanted resources, while the Empire wanted technology. Wherever there were people, there would be competition.
The Federation had never been willing to give in. To put it bluntly, they were just making things difficult for each other. However, in the face of benefits, the various great families were definitely pushing in the shadows. In the end, they still managed to reach a preliminary agreement. In fact, this wasn't important. What was truly intense was the internal competition. This project would definitely bring in a lot of money, and in the end, the Stuart clan would still emerge victorious.
Next up was the negotiation between the Stuart clan and the Kaiser Empire. The Stuart clan sent Carolyn as this was a test. Currently, the requirements for successors were extremely strict. The reason why such a large project was handed over to Carolyn was because the family already held a great advantage. On the other hand, if they couldn't even handle this properly, then Carolyn's position in the family's hearts would be greatly reduced.
For a family to be able to pass down from generation to generation, they relied on the wisdom of their bloodline.
The Kaiser Empire sent Solomon Rothschild. It was said that he was currently the most valued successor of the Rothschild clan.
Negotiations were negotiations, but face and etiquette couldn't be lacking. The Kaiser Empire was indeed very powerful. Frankly speaking, from the perspective of the family's benefits, obtaining a powerful ally was extremely important for the family to stabilize its position in the Federation.
There were no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits.
The Stuart clan had already prepared a luxurious reception. Just the guards of honor that lined the two sides of the hall numbered over a hundred. They wore luxurious ceremonial uniforms and held sets of glittering musical instruments.
Outside, there were also luxurious carriages, cavalry guards … and sixty rune cannons. This represented the 60th anniversary of the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the Federation and the Empire. At the same time, many citizens had gathered to form a welcoming party.
This implied that they wanted to show their strength to the 'country bumpkins'. They wanted to let them see how prosperous the Freedom Federation was and make them yearn for it.
In comparison, Solomon was rather casual. As an important figure of the Kaiser Empire, there were only six people including Solomon Rothschild. His short black hair and gentle smile made Solomon seem especially spirited and amiable. He didn't seem like someone from the barbarian world.
In the hearts of many people in the Federation, the other continents were still in the dark ages of cannibalism. There was no ethics to speak of, and it was said that humans, mutated beasts, and mutated humans mingled together. Of course, the Kaiser Empire was slightly better, but that was about it.
With a faint smile, Carolyn walked up to welcome him. "Your highness Solomon, I represent the Stuart Family in welcoming you to Stuart City. Your arrival is a testimony to the friendship between the Federation and the Empire. I hope that the friendship between the two sides will last forever."
"Haha. Miss Carolyn, you're too polite. The friendship between the Federation and the Empire is the future of mankind. Solomon is extremely honored to be able to contribute to this hope."
The two young men, who held important positions in the Federation and the Empire, appeared to be particularly elegant.
After the friendly greetings, flashes lit up the surroundings. The honor guards played the Freedom Song of the Hundred Cities Federation and the Marseillaise Song of the Kaiser Empire.
The two nouveau riches of Earth chatted and laughed as they boarded a luxurious carriage that was waiting outside. The outside was already a boiling cauldron of voices and a sea of people. Countless citizens and reporters chased after them, and under the flashes of lights, rune cannons exploded not too far away. The rune cannons, which contained surging amounts of energy, exploded in mid-air, scattering into countless gorgeous splendors, pushing the entire reception process to its climax.
Rune cannons were one of the most important weapons that the Federation could use to defend its territory, and were also a technology that was unique to the Federation. Frankly speaking, in terms of individual soldier strength, the three great empires weren't inferior to the Federation. The only thing they were lacking was their population base and heavy rune weapons.
Rune cannons were extremely expensive to manufacture, and the complex rune energy structure was the essence of rune technology. Every cannon shell was special, and from the raw materials to the structure, they were the pride of the Freedom Federation.
60 rune cannons not only displayed Prince Solomon's noble status, but also displayed the solid strength of the Stuart Family. Only the five great families possessed such powerful equipment.
This was also the disparity between the rich and powerful.
The grand reception had appeared in the eyes of the public, but the true meeting that involved the benefits of both parties had only just begun.
After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Solomon and Carolyn walked on the spacious lawn of the Stuart Manor.
It wasn't necessary for them to sit at the negotiating table, especially since the two of them were youths. The attendants behind them maintained a suitable distance from the two of them and followed them from afar.
The content of their conversation was rather casual. The feeling that Solomon gave Carolyn was rather amiable. Although his sunny smile hid a calmness that didn't match his age, it didn't make people feel disgusted. It had nothing to do with being barbaric. Frankly speaking, if she didn't know his identity, she would definitely think that he was a noble of the Federation.
"Clear skies, passionate citizens, and a bustling city. This trip to Stuart City gave me a huge shock. The Empire is too backward, and the environment is too vile, "Solomon said with a sigh. "The people born here are definitely very lucky, just like the beautiful Miss Carolyn. It's as if she's the favored child of the heavens."
She had always assumed that the first successor to the Kaiser Empire would be extremely arrogant. However, only after interacting with him did she realize how humble and low-key he was.
Carolyn smiled faintly. "Your highness Solomon is too modest. The capital of the Empire is known as the strongest city on Earth. It can defend against millions of mutated beasts. In this era, safety is the number one priority. In fact, I personally don't approve of such luxuries."
A trace of astonishment flashed through Solomon's eyes. It seemed … that this negotiation wouldn't be so easy.
"The development of the Kaiser Empire is very uneven. This is also the predicament of the various continents." Solomon sighed. "Whether a country is strong or not doesn't depend on one or two flourishing cities. Resources are unevenly distributed, and many cities have starved to death. Cannibalism does exist. I hope that more people can obtain the dignity of being human.
The rune train is what we urgently need. The generosity and friendship of the Federation and the Stuart clan can be said to have saved the lives of countless people in the Empire. They have made a great contribution to the progress of humanity. I, Solomon, am filled with admiration for them. "
Carolyn felt a little emotional. This person really knew how to speak. He had directly raised it to the point of saving humanity.
However, when it came to business, talking about feelings and feelings was a luxury.
