Xiao Ran really couldn't figure out what Cruzet and the others were thinking, but he was sure that what they cared about was definitely related to him. But Xiao Ran would never have thought that all of this was just a sudden whim of his.
From the Burning Legion's point of view, a marriage alliance was of course more beneficial. But from a personal point of view, they wouldn't refuse to watch Xiao Ran's show. But who knew that Xiao Ran wouldn't fall for it, and he wasn't prepared to let them negotiate with Vry. But now, they wanted to know what kind of expression Xiao Ran would have when Vry brought up the marriage alliance in a formal meeting.
With this mentality, they didn't tell Xiao Ran about this matter at all. Instead, they left as if they didn't know what was going on.
On the third day, Aselda once again arrived at the Satellite Union. However, this time, it wasn't just Aselda and a few of his subordinates. Instead, he brought more people with him. They formed a formal negotiation team under Frey's name. At the same time, Elelda also returned to the Satellite Union with Aselda.
Xiao Ran originally planned to have a formal meeting with Shanamia the next day. But after thinking that Vry's internal affairs had just been resolved because of his intervention, Shanamia might still be in a daze. So, he gave Shanamia an extra day to contact Vry, negotiate, and send official representatives.
This time, Xiao Ran's attitude toward Frey changed drastically. He didn't try to sneak up on Frey, but he also didn't intentionally announce it. Instead, he welcomed Frey's negotiation team according to normal diplomatic methods, which could be considered as officially acknowledging Frey's position, status, and existence.
Although he didn't deliberately spread the news about Vry, it didn't take long for the people with real power on Earth to know that another alien race was negotiating with the Satellite Alliance and preparing to integrate into Earth. And it wasn't until this time that countless people realized that there was actually a neighbor that had been around for a long time. All of a sudden, the name Vry became a hot topic.
And as long as the arrival of Vry's diplomatic mission wasn't concealed, the news of Vry's diplomatic mission entering the Satellite Alliance would naturally spread quickly. Not only the people with power on Earth, but it wouldn't take long for the vague news to spread all over the world.
The meeting between the Satellite Alliance and Vry was arranged to be held in the Satellite Alliance's capital administrative office. Even the Federation and DC had sent representatives to participate in this negotiation. Although the representatives of these two parties didn't have the right to speak, Xiao Ran still gave them the right to know and participate. Being able to participate in this negotiation was already a great show of respect for these two parties, especially for the Federation. On the other hand, because of Bihan's relationship with DC, they were more concerned about whether Vry would pose a threat to Earth.
A long limousine slowly drove to the entrance of the administrative office, which was already filled with people. As soon as the limousine stopped, someone trotted to the door and opened it. Xiao Ran and the well-dressed Shanamia got out of the limousine. Aselda, who had already arrived and was waiting for them, walked up to Princess Shanamia. After greeting her, she stood behind Shanamia like a guard.
Ten minutes later, the huge conference room of the administrative office was filled with people. The people from Earth, led by Xiao Ran, and the people from Vry, led by Shanamia, sat in their pre-arranged seats. The first official meeting between Earth and Vry officially began.
First, as the host, they expressed their welcome. Then, as Vry's side, they expressed their respect and honor. After both sides had a little understanding of each other, the meeting officially began. All of a sudden, all the people from Earth shut their mouths, making the whole conference room quiet down. Everyone's eyes were on Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran didn't waste too much time on this kind of meeting. Instead, he went straight to the point and said, "Let's skip the pleasantries. Next, we will discuss whether Vry wants to join Earth, and how he wants to integrate with Earth. I personally believe that you really want to integrate with Earth, and I have also told you my conditions. Now, let's discuss what you think of our conditions, and what conditions you will put forward."
Shanamia nodded gently. At this time, as the princess of a country, Shanamia looked a little different from before when she joined this meeting. She looked much calmer and didn't show the slightest nervousness at all. She said in a soft voice,
"We hope to join the big family of Earth. Although we are not native Earthlings, Earth is also a place that has accompanied us for countless years. In this way, Earth is also our home. Being truly accepted by Earthlings is also something we have always hoped for."
"But the president's request for us is really too harsh. Disbanding all military forces is very unfair to Vry, and it will also pose a great threat to Vry because we can't guarantee whether Vry will still be treated fairly after disbanding all military forces."
"After all, to Earth, we are considered outsiders, but to us, Earthlings are like children who we have watched grow up. The unequal views of both sides may bring about a calamity that will destroy Freeh. Looking at Earth's history, humans are filled with the desire to fight, and war has never truly disappeared. Having no power is an extremely dangerous thing. Thus, although I wish to integrate with Earth, I also need to retain enough power to protect myself."
Shanamia said so much to point out a problem. They were outsiders to Earthlings. Even if they integrated with Earth, they would still be outsiders in the eyes of the whole world. They would be ostracized and threatened. Earthlings were a race that liked to fight among themselves. If they didn't have enough power to protect themselves, they wouldn't be able to protect themselves when a war broke out on Earth. What they fought for was the power to ensure that they wouldn't be threatened.
