Chapter 352: Evacuate the United States

Liu Bei's allusion to Jingzhou in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not only a household name, but at least it is widely known. With such an allusion as a warning, if we make the same mistake again, won't we be laughed to death?

But here comes the problem. Although we don't want things like Liu Bei to borrow Jingzhou, everyone knows the situation in the Neptune Palace now. If we don't help, it's like watching Neptune Palace die. Of course, if it is an unrelated guild, then it can just die if it wants to. We will not care at all, but the problem now is that the Neptune Palace has become like this. Although we cannot say that it is all our fault, at least we It is a fact that the contract requirements were not fulfilled despite receiving the money. Therefore, we must not give up on the matter of emotion and reason.

Since this matter cannot be put off, it has to be done, but it is obviously impossible to lend something as important as Essinger Mobile Fortress, so I couldn't agree to it outright, so I could only say to Terry: "Look, we, the Frost Rose Alliance, are certainly responsible for the situation that your Neptune Palace is in now, so we will definitely not ignore you. But what Isinger Mobile Fortress means to us, I think even if I don't explain it, you You should be able to understand it more or less. So, even if I am the president, this matter cannot be settled by me alone."

"Then you mean we just need to vote, right?" Terry asked.

"The main thing is that the main personnel in the guild must be notified, and everyone needs to discuss it. Although I think it doesn't matter if I lend it to you, after all, the Frost Rose Alliance is not my guild alone, so in the end, can I really lend it to you? I said it doesn’t count.”

"Then you should contact me now and have a look."

I nodded and asked Terry for a separate room, then went in and immediately opened the communication and found Rose first, then Red Moon and Eagle. Of course, the people in the guild think tank will also be notified.

When I told Terry's proposal, Hongyue and Ying immediately opposed it and thought it could not be borrowed. But to my surprise, Rose, who I thought was the most likely to object, actually said that she could take Aixin. The Ge Mobile Fortress was lent to the Neptune Palace for use, and the think tank unanimously approved this decision after some discussion.

"Am I saying you are crazy?" Hongyue heard that Rose and Think Tank actually said they could borrow it. He immediately lost his composure.

"Do you think it's incredible?" Rose asked.

Hongyue nodded immediately and said: "Yes! You are usually the best at saving money. You are very careful about everything. Every time we go to war, it is difficult for us to get a copper budget from you. Why do you suddenly become so generous this time? ah?"

"I knew you couldn't figure it out." After Rose finished speaking, she asked me, "Husband, have you figured it out?"

I nodded half-understanding: "I understand part of it."

"Do you really understand?" Hongyue asked in surprise: "Then what do you think you understand?"

I thought about it and said, "I understand a lot about Rose and the Think Tank agreeing to lend Essinger Mobile Fortress to the Neptune Palace. First, the relocation of the Neptune Palace is very important to us. There are benefits. Once we ignore the Neptune Palace, the Rainbow Alliance will definitely completely defeat the Neptune Palace. What Terry can do after that is to either disband the Neptune Palace or surrender directly and join the Rainbow Alliance. But no matter what Terry does decision. At least one thing is certain, that is, once the Neptune Palace is finished, the United States will completely agree, and then the strength of the Rainbow Alliance will increase by leaps and bounds. And we can only watch this powerful enemy. It is growing every day. Therefore, helping the Neptune Palace and leaving a resistance organization for the Rainbow Alliance are very meaningful for the long-term strategy of our Frost Rose Alliance."

"What about other reasons?"

"The second reason is simpler. We owe the Neptune Palace for this battle. What we promised after collecting their money before was to help them get rid of the Rainbow Alliance and make them the overlord of the United States. The guild is here, but now the situation is different from Our original promise can almost be said to be reversed. Such a huge mistake. Even if there is a 'force majeure' worth one trillion US dollars, we are still to blame. Therefore, saving Neptune Palace can return some favors. , in addition to reducing the loss of our reputation. If we tell people, they will say that the Rainbow Alliance invested a trillion US dollars at a time. As a result, our Frost Rose Alliance also preserved the Neptune Palace. This is definitely a positive image, because we Although we did not complete the task, we at least preserved the foundation of our employer even if the other party invested a trillion dollars. This is definitely not a shameful thing, but an act that should be commended. In contrast, if we had not If you save the Neptune Palace, others will not pay attention to that one trillion problem at all. They will only remember that our Frost Rose Alliance not only failed to tie up the boss, but also failed to guarantee the life of the employer. This is the real life. It’s something that damages the image. Therefore, Neptune Palace must save it.”

"Then what's the third point?"

"The third point is that even if we really lend Essinger Mobile Fortress to the Neptune Palace, we don't need to worry about them not paying it back."

"Why?" Hong Yue and Ying are most concerned about this issue, because the biggest reason why they refuse to borrow is that they are worried that the other party will not pay it back. As for the two points I mentioned before, Hong Yue and Ying actually know it. , their only worry is that Essinger Mobile Fortress will never return.

I knew they were going to ask, so I started explaining almost as soon as they asked why.

"There are several reasons why it is unlikely that the Neptune Palace will be borrowed and not repaid. The first and most important point is that the Neptune Palace does not dare to offend us." After I finished speaking, I deliberately paused for a few seconds to let them digest the information. , and then continued: "Think about it! Now the entire United States is under the control of the Rainbow Alliance. Even if the Neptune Palace borrows the Essinger Mobile Fortress from us, they will not be able to counterattack in a short time. And they want to flee to other places to re-establish their power. During this period, their development in overseas areas is naturally inseparable from the protection and support of our Frost Rose Alliance. Therefore, the Neptune Palace does not dare to offend us at this time. Otherwise, let's not cause trouble for them. As long as we ignore them, they will be in bad luck.

This is still one, and the second is that even if we lend them the Essinger Mobile Fortress, we will definitely not completely hand over control.

Essinger Mobile Fortress is the strongest offensive fortress in our guild. Its control system is mainly completed by the cooperation of the large crystal matrix and the city tree. City Tree only recognizes one guild. The ownership cannot be changed, so unless the Neptune Palace can find a new city tree to replace the one they are using, otherwise, they will not be able to control the city tree of our guild at all, and naturally they will not be able to fully control the operation of the city. .

Same thing. The Crystal Matrix is ​​the top-secret technology of our Frost Rose Alliance, and it is our core secret. Even if we borrow Essinger Mobile Fortress, we still cannot tell the people in the Neptune Palace the control method of the Crystal Matrix. They just borrow. It is not for permanent use, and the control can naturally only be operated by people in our guild. It is impossible to teach them how to use it. After all, this is our core secret, and even fools know that it must not be passed on to others.

At that time, we will even lend Essinger Mobile Fortress. The Neptune Palace can only be operated by our people. At most, we can send a few commanders to tell us where to drive and what to do. The operation must still be done by our people, so even if it is really lent to them. At most, it is similar to a taxi, and they are just passengers. The driver is still one of our people. They can tell us where to go, but they can't actually take the car away. Therefore, there is a difference between this kind of borrowing and borrowing in the true sense. "

Hongyue asked doubtfully after hearing my explanation: "Since you have thought so much, why are you still hesitant? We didn't think of this before, but now that I heard your explanation, I think it's not a big deal to borrow it. ”

Rose smiled and said: "He is different from what you are worried about. You are worried that the Neptune Palace will not be repaid if you borrow it, but Ziri is worried that our secrets will be leaked. After all, Essinger Mobile Fortress has always been our guild. In the exclusive area of ​​​​the Essinger Mobile Fortress, people from the lay guild are not allowed to enter the Essinger Mobile Fortress without permission, and even if there are several times where members of the lay guild have boarded the Essinger Mobile Fortress, they were all in designated areas, and this If it is borrowed by the Neptune Palace, considering the scale of the Neptune Palace, we must not be able to limit the area. Although we can use the excuse of guild secrets to prevent them from going to the core area, the secrets on the periphery cannot be kept. Therefore, Ziri is wondering if it’s worth giving up these little secrets to save our guild’s reputation.”

Ying smiled and said: "Zi Ri, Zi Ri, I always thought that Rose was the most economical in our guild, but I didn't expect that you are! You said it yourself, those are little secrets, so of course they are innocuous. Things, in that case, what’s wrong with using these innocuous little secrets to save the reputation of our guild?”

"Those are not all little secrets." I frowned and said, "Some of them are also quite important, but... forget it, it's useless to worry about this kind of thing now. In this case, we decided to lend it to them. "

Rose nodded and said: "Borrow it. However, a favor is a favor, and there should be some restrictions."

Hongyue also reminded: "Anyway, anything that needs attention should be written in the contract in advance. Be a villain before being a gentleman. It will not be easy to hurt feelings in the future."

Since everyone supports this decision, of course I have nothing to say. After finishing the meeting, I quickly moved to Terry's office. It turned out that this guy was explaining things. I waited for him to finish talking to a few of his subordinates before walking over.

After seeing me coming back, Terry immediately looked at me and asked, "How's it going? Do you want to borrow it or not?"

"Borrow it." I replied firmly.

Terry, who was already quite depressed, suddenly became excited when he heard my words.

"Really? Can you really lend us the Essinger Mobile Fortress for temporary use?"

I nodded and said: "Yes, I have discussed it with the people in the guild. Everyone said that our Frost Rose Alliance did not complete your mission this time and caused you such misery. We should help you get through it out of emotion and reason. Overcoming the difficulties. Moreover, there is no need to rush in terms of time. Although we also need Essinger Mobile Fortress, we can still hold on for two or three days, so you can use two or three days to settle the new headquarters. I think this time is enough for you to build a temporary new city and temporarily transfer your base."

When Terry heard this, he quickly took my hand and shook it desperately: "Thank you so much! With the help of Essinger Mobile Fortress, we can definitely find another place to develop."

After hearing what Terry said, I deliberately said with a slightly stiff expression: "Don't get too excited first. Although Essinger Mobile Fortress can be lent to you, there are some things that need to be explained to you first, and then We need to sign a system guarantee agreement, you have to know this. After all, Essinger Mobile Fortress is the property of our Frost Rose Alliance, and its value may not be less than the money Yushina invested. So, such a big one We can’t hand over a piece of property without asking for any guarantee, right?”

Terry calmed down obviously after hearing this, but his expression was still quite happy. "I know this. Tell me what you need to pay attention to."

"Actually, these things are irrelevant to your transfer. They just involve some privacy protection issues of our Frost Rose Alliance."

"you say."

"The first is the issue of control. Although the city will be handed over to you, it is only a transfer of system ownership. You need to set the city control area and equipment area to a state where our guild personnel can enter and exit at will, because we are responsible for AI The maintenance and operation of the Singer Mobile Fortress are our secrets. Although the Essinger Mobile Fortress can be lent to you, these secrets cannot be handed over."

"I understand this, is there anything else?"

"Also, there are some places in the city that are secrets of our Frost Rose Alliance, so even if the city is transferred to you for temporary use, there are certain areas that I hope you will never set foot in."

"Can I ask how big these areas are and where they are located?"

"The location is very messy, but the area is not large, so it will not affect your use."

Terry said cheerfully: "As long as it doesn't affect our transfer base, it doesn't matter what you ask for."

With Terry's cooperation, we quickly completed the signing of the agreement. After writing all the restrictions clearly, the system would make it fair. Then we began to act quickly to quickly move the personnel and materials of the Neptune Palace to Essinger Fortress. More than an hour after we started to transfer people and materials, basically all the flying fleets of our guild were shot down. The only thing that could resist the flying warships of the Rainbow Alliance was the Essinger Mobile Fortress itself. of firepower. Fortunately, our guild's air battleships bought us some time. At least the transfer work on the Neptune Palace side has been completed for more than half, so even if we run away immediately, it won't be a big problem.

"Ziri, we have almost moved here. Let's leave now. It's not worth risking the Essinger Mobile Fortress for the remaining things."

I nodded, picked up the communicator and ordered: "No need to wait, start jumping." (To be continued ~^~)
