"You're willing to share this giant robot called the Titan with us?" A plump high-ranking official of the Federation looked at Karma with his round eyes, a smile of interest on his face. "If it's really as powerful as what this document says, then why do you still want to come to us? As long as you can repair the Titan, I'm afraid that the current Unified Army will not be able to fight against you, and the Zabi family's dream of ruling Earth will be realized."
"Of course, if we can repair the Titan, I don't have to risk coming to Earth. I just have to wait for the Titan to be repaired." Karma glanced at the high-ranking official. He could hear the slight sarcasm in the fat man's tone, but he did not show any anger at all. "But what's annoying is that with Axis' current situation, there is no way to gather enough resources to repair the Titan in the shortest time possible. The lack of technical personnel is also an important factor that restricts us from repairing the Titan."
"If we want to repair the Titan and make it stronger, we will need more new weapons, technology, and even excellent technical personnel, as well as necessary materials. Otherwise, with Axis' current repair speed, I'm afraid it will be too late to wait until the Federation is completely destroyed by the Unified Army. But we, Axis, can rely on the Titan to continue to exist safely far away from Earth."
Although Karma was not angry at the fat man's words, he still had disdain in his heart, so he pointed at the high-ranking officials of the Federation. What he meant was that without Axis' help, the Federation would disappear completely soon, but Axis would not.
No one present was a fool, so they naturally understood the meaning of Karma's words. Another middle-aged man who looked more calm coughed softly, then said, "I understand what you mean. In other words, Axis can't repair the Titan alone in a short time, so we need our personnel and resources. If we can reach a cooperation agreement, this will not be a problem. But I want to know who will be in charge of the Federation or Axis after the Titan is repaired. "
"Of course it will be Axis. There is no room for negotiation." Karma remembered what his sister, Kisilia, said. There must be no concessions in key areas. This key included preserving one's own strength and firmly holding on to the strongest power in one's hands.
Karma's words made many people frown, but then Karma's next words made them relax. "But we will not treat the technical personnel you send differently from our people. Both sides will repair the Titan together, and we will not ask or stop anything we can get from the Titan. We will even share the technology we have analyzed. You can create your own Titan, but the Titan's leader can only be Axis. "
Everyone present looked at each other. It was obviously unrealistic to use cooperation to force Axis to hand over the control of the Giant God, but if they could get the technology contained in the Giant God, it was not unacceptable. It was obviously impossible to snatch the Giant God from Axis. The Confederation's space fleet could be said to no longer exist, and having Axis join their forces to fight against the Unified Army was something that they could not wish for.
The Federation's current situation did not give them much confidence, and they even had to do their best to complete the alliance according to Karma's wishes. After all, Karma's appearance and the news he brought gave them hope of turning the tables. They needed Axis' help, but Axis did not necessarily need their help.
The middle-aged man who spoke before nodded. He asked again, "What are your demands?"
Karma said calmly, "Provide us with all the materials we need, send technical personnel to Axis, recognize Guyon's independent status after the war is won, and after the Federation is restored, Guyon must represent the universe's residents and obtain one-third of the Federation's seats."
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, but the pupils under his eyelids contracted. Karma's request could be said to be quite excessive. After a year of war and the Federation's war, the whole Earth basically did not have the concept of a country, the whole Earth was a Federation. Guyon wanted to become an independent country and obtain one-third of the seats, which meant that Guyon could influence the Federation's decisions in the future, but the Federation could not influence Guyon's decisions, directly making Guyon's status superior.
The middle-aged man was silent for a few seconds before he said, "You mean to become a member of the Federation as an independent country?"
Karma nodded lightly. "Yes."
"With all due respect. This request is very difficult for me. " The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Since Guyon wants to become an independent country, then I'm afraid there is no way to obtain a seat in the Federation's parliament. Guyon is an independent force, and the whole Federation is a complete and independent force. To obtain one-third of the Federation's seats as an independent country. I'm afraid this is not suitable. "
"I was reckless." Karma smiled slightly and said, "Then how about another way? Guyon joins the Federation as an independent area, the Federation recognizes Zabi's family as the Prince of the Duchy, and allows Zabi's family to keep a certain number of fleets. After the war is over, all the troops will be dispersed, and the two sides will work together to form a new army. Based on ability and merit, people will be given positions. Similarly, we will obtain one-third of the Federation's seats."
"After the war, the first president will be a member of the Federation, and the vice president will be chosen by us. In the future, members of both sides will be eligible to participate in the Federation elections, but they must be paired with a president and vice president. The army will be jointly managed by both sides. The Federation will not affect the personnel arrangement of Guyon's government affairs, and Guyon will not affect the personnel arrangement of Earth's government affairs. However, under the circumstances where both sides agree, they can arrange for each other to take turns. Perhaps in a few years, Guyon and the Federation will become a real family."
"Looks like you're preparing to truly integrate into the Federation, or rather, let the Federation integrate into Guyon." The middle-aged man smiled. At the moment when the Federation was on the brink of life and death, when both the Federation and Axis had to unite to face the Unified Army, Karma's request was actually not too much. Speaking of which, it was really a win-win solution for both sides to truly move towards coexistence.
The Federation would carefully consider such a suggestion now, and there was a high chance that they would agree to Karma's request. However, if it was the Federation of the past, there would be no room for consideration. There was a saying that a phoenix that had fallen was inferior to a chicken. The Federation was no longer the Federation of the past, and they no longer had the confidence and strength to reject Karma's suggestion.
If this matter was not settled as soon as possible, to determine whether the Giant God was fake, and whether it could be used to resist the Unified Army, especially the two battleships of the Unified Army, the Galactic Songstress and the Borderlands, they would not even have the chance to agree once the Unified Army had recovered.
Besides, Axis was now the one with the power, and it was an unchanging principle since ancient times that they would listen to whoever had the most power. Whether it was for the sake of the Unified Army or for themselves, the Federation actually did not have the courage to refuse. As for any changes in the future, that was a matter for the future. However, the middle-aged man could also guess that when that time came, it would be a battle of wits and courage between the two sides. How much authority they could gain after the merger would depend on the means and ability of both sides. However, now was not the time to consider such things. The enemy was before them, and the Unified Army was the real enemy of both sides.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I will report these requests. Please wait a few days, Mr. Zabi. We will confirm as soon as possible. In addition, Mr. Zabi, do you have any other requests? How will you arrange for the contact person to stay on Earth after signing the Covenant? "
Karma glanced at the middle-aged man, and the corners of his mouth revealed a smile that seemed to be mocking and self-deprecating. He said, "If possible, when the war is won, I hope that I can personally deal with Xiaya and the man named Xiao Ran. In addition, I need you to help me find someone. As for the contact person, after the two sides reach an agreement, I will personally stay in the Federation."
The middle-aged man's eyebrows twitched twice. He took a deep look at Karma and said with a smile, "I see. There is no problem with these. The person you are looking for should be a beautiful lady. I will arrange for someone to bring her here. Since Mr. Zabi is staying in the Federation, I will arrange for a place worthy of the title of Prince for Your Excellency to use as soon as possible."
Karma stood up and bowed slightly. "I am very grateful."
At the end of the meeting, Karma sat in the car leaving. After there was no one who belonged to the Federation beside him, he lowered his head in disappointment and sighed deeply. Then, he revealed a mocking smile. For the next few days, Karma stayed in the core city of the Federation in a low-key manner.
The Federation was also actively discussing the request made by Karma. Of course, in addition to what Karma said, there were some other reasonable requests in the document, but those were not a problem for the Federation. As long as the war could be won, and if Guyon and the Federation could truly become one, it would not be a bad thing. After a year of war, the appearance of the Unified Army, the Federation's foundation had been almost depleted after these two consecutive wars, especially the war against the Unified Army. If another war with Akesis broke out after the war, the Federation doubted whether its side could continue to persevere. (To be continued.)
