A few days after Alufemi appeared and disappeared with the primo, the Steel Dragon team received special care from the primo. Although Xiao Ran learned about the situation of the Steel Dragon team every day, there was nothing he could do to help.
As for the matter of the Primo, all they could do was wait and watch the show. As for the true location of the Fey's homeland, Baral, although Xiao Ran had sent out others to participate in the search, they still didn't have any suitable leads. They simply couldn't find out where Baral was.
Xiao Ran could understand this, so he didn't urge the teams to search for Baral. However, Baral was still not found. The ambassadors sent by Zowok arrived on Earth, and Xiao Ran hurried to White Star after receiving the news.
When Daniel saw Xiao Ran hurrying to White Star, he personally appeared at the port to welcome him. The first thing he said when he saw Xiao Ran was, "Sir, I just received a notice from Zowok's army. The ambassadors sent by Zowok's privy council have arrived near Earth's circle. They have applied to enter Earth and hope that we can arrange a meeting location."
Xiao Ran nodded and asked, "What's the size of their ambassadors?"
"It's the same size as one of our standard fleets." Daniel's expression was a little heavy. After answering Xiao Ran's question, he continued, "With Zowok's strength, although it's only one standard fleet, it should represent a considerable amount of combat power. If we don't handle it well and let this fleet join up with the previous fleet, it'll be a moderate threat to us."
"Moreover, we can't be sure if this so-called ambassadors' fleet has any new weapons that belong to Zowok. How sincere are they to come to the meeting? However, based on their current attitude, they have maintained a relatively safe distance from us without our permission. It really does seem like they're here to negotiate."
"Distance is not a problem for organizations that have mastered space jump. It's the same even if they're still outside the solar system. However, they're showing some sincerity by showing such an attitude." As Xiao Ran and Daniel walked, he said, "Did you discuss the location of the meeting?"
"Before Sir arrived, I had a discussion with Lieutenant General Jacob. Due to the special situation in Antarctica, this meeting can't be held in Antarctica. Firstly, it's to prevent the other party from discovering the existence of the sealed door in Antarctica. Secondly, it's to avoid more unsettling factors caused by the Antarctica incident. Whether it's in the Federation or DC, it's not a good choice. so we feel that it's more special to hold the meeting location on Earth.
"As for the other party's fleet, I suggest we send a fleet to meet them first. At the same time, we'll limit the number of people they can send to Earth. No matter how large their fleet is, we feel that one or two battleships should be enough to accommodate the entire negotiation team."
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and then turned to Daniel and said, "Let's do as you said. Inform Kreuzer's fleet to go and meet Zowalker's fleet. The location of the meeting will be at Earth's territory, which is controlled by the satellites. However, we must ensure that all safety measures are taken. We must not let our guard down just because Zowalker is here to negotiate. Also, inform President Gaspar and General Bian to bring people over. After all, this negotiation with Zowalker is a matter of the entire Earth, not just a problem of our satellites."
"Understood." Daniel nodded. Although Xiao Ran led the establishment of the Earth Defense Force, he did not interfere with the internal affairs of the various forces as he had promised. He really did treat the Federation and DC as equals to the Satellites. However, because Xiao Ran was still the commander-in-chief of the Earth Defense Force, his status was higher than Gaspar and Bihan's.
After entering White Star, Daniel quickly followed Xiao Ran's instructions and informed Gaspar of the Federation and Bihan of DC about the negotiation with Zowok. Both of them were considered people with extremely high authority on Earth. The appearance of Zowok's fleet was not hidden from them. They were just waiting for Xiao Ran's final arrangements.
With Xiao Ran's arrangements, the two immediately began to organize a team to head to the Satellites' territory on Earth. It was more like a military base and a transit point than a city.
In addition to Bihan and Gaspar, Cruzet also led a fleet into space from Central Asia after receiving the notice. He then used a space jump and directly went to the vicinity of Jupiter where Zowok's fleet was currently located. This fleet also received news that Earth would send a fleet to welcome them, so they were not too nervous about the appearance of Cruzet's fleet.
The official contact between Earth and Zowok could be considered to have started with Cruzet. The entire Earth also became busy because of the appearance of Zowok's fleet. Rabir, Mary, Xiaya, Jay, and Vry all sent a certain number of military forces to Earth as the main force of the negotiation. The rest of the Earth Defense Force also transferred elite forces to guard the periphery. After a day, the arrangements were almost done.
Before the formal negotiation began, both sides would also have an intention to communicate. This communication did not necessarily require a face-to-face conversation. Both sides would send a document to the other side to express their intentions and demands. In addition to expressing their sincerity, it was also telling the other side that this was their request.
Xiao Ran's side was nothing more than technology, resources, information, and so on. What he wanted was not the finished product of technology, but the actual technology information. Of course, he also wanted Zowok to not take any military action against Earth.
