Chapter 224 VEGAN Returns to the Federation
The final battle ended perfectly, the Lagramis Fortress was completely separated, the crisis of the Second Moon was resolved, and there was no resumption of the war after the battle.
VEGAN knew that they had lost the war when they received the help of the Federation Army. Although most people could not accept this result, the enemies around them had just helped them save their homes. This kindness made it impossible for them to wield the butcher knife against their benefactors.
Some people on the VEGAN side were unwilling to surrender, and some people on the Federation Army side were unwilling to stop the war, but under the constraints of Gerhardt and Algureas, no more disputes were started.
Moreover, Gerhardt found Mrs. Doreen as soon as the battle ended and told her his thoughts.
VEGAN had already lost and had no chance to fight back. The Second Moon had come to the front of the Federation Army. If they did not surrender at this time, the Federation Army would not let them go. Once the war started again, VEGAN would only be destroyed.
As for the remaining troops on Earth... In fact, if they did whatever it took, there was still a glimmer of hope, that is, to order the VEGAN on Earth to use the cities and civilians in the occupied areas as hostages to force the Federation Army to give in.
But in this case, VEGAN has no other choice but to leave, and VEGAN on Earth will definitely become a discarded child, and peace talks between VEGAN and the Federation Army will no longer be possible.
Gerhardt does not want to see this result, because if he cannot reach Eden, what is the point of escaping?
Mrs. Dorin naturally supports Gerhardt's decision. First, Gerhardt's analysis is completely correct. Second, Gerhardt is the designated heir of Izelkanda and has been recognized by most people in this operation. Mrs. Dorin cannot stand up against Gerhardt and split the already precarious VEGAN.
So, VEGAN surrendered.
Mrs. Dorin stood in the foreground again, first, to express her attitude and firmly support Gerhardt; second, to deal with politicians on behalf of Gerhardt. Politicians and soldiers are essentially different. The top political leaders are all old foxes. This is not something Gerhardt can deal with. In order to get a better result for VEGAN.
However, to achieve this goal, it is necessary to get the help of several people.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Doreen."
"I've heard of you for a long time, Lieutenant General Yang Hui..."
"I'm retired now, just call me by my name." Yang Hui reminded.
"In that case, Mr. Yang Hui, thank you very much for your help for VEGAN."
Yes, the person that Mrs. Doreen and Gerhard needed to ask for help was Yang Hui. Although Yang Hui was retired now, he still maintained a very high prestige. When the war was declared over, even 95% of the civilians called on Yang Hui to serve as the new Speaker of the Federation, and the same was true for the military. It was not until Yang Hui made a public statement that he had plans to retire that the call was put to rest.
Although people felt sorry, they also understood that Yang Hui had devoted almost his entire life to the Federation and spent it all in battle. He was old and it was time to rest.
But this does not mean that Yang Hui's influence is gone. If he really planned to step onto the political stage, people would definitely support him with both hands, and could even directly drive the current Speaker out of office.
So if you want to get the best result for VEGAN, you must get Yang Hui's help.
After announcing the surrender, Gerhardt met with Yang Hui immediately and got his guarantee: "VEGAN is part of the human race, it was, it is, and it will be in the future."
It is precisely because of this guarantee that Mrs. Doreen was able to win frequently in the confrontation with the federal government.
Of course, Mrs. Doreen is also a smart person and did not push it any further.
VEGAN returned to the federation, but as a member country, it has autonomy. The army can be reduced, but it must retain sufficient self-defense power. The people must also obtain the same rights as the earthlings and be willing to assume the same obligations.
This condition is definitely very generous for the defeated country, but even if the federation is greedy, it is meaningless to put forward more conditions.
Science and technology? Although VEGAN is ahead of the federation, EXA-DB is now in the hands of the federation (partially), and it is only a matter of time to surpass VEGAN; resources? What resources can VEGAN have in such a small place? Population? Please, the population of the earth is large enough, otherwise how could it launch a space colonization plan?
After all the calculations, the Federation really couldn't get more benefits. It was impossible to ask VEGAN to be inferior to others. This was completely a step backward in history.
With Yang Hui's support, they finally agreed to these conditions. In any case, at least the century-long war was finally over.
Of course, VEGAN announced its surrender, but not all VEGAN troops surrendered.
After learning that the mainland had surrendered, at least half of the VEGAN troops on Earth did not accept this decision and launched an attack on the Federation again, but under the leadership of the [Tianren] Brigade, these rebellions were quickly wiped out. Even during the rebellion, Gerhardt and Mrs. Doreen sent VEGAN troops to join the counterinsurgency operation in order to express their hope for peace.
Now, the negotiations and counterinsurgency are all over. Gerhardt brought Mrs. Doreen to Earth again and found Yang Hui, one to thank Yang Hui for his help, and the other...
"Mr. Yang Hui, have you made any progress in the research on Martian rays?" Gerhardt asked.
The Second Moon has not returned to the Martian sphere for the time being, but the disease caused by Martian rays has become a genetic disease. If this problem is not solved, VEGAN will perish even without war. Although Yang's Enterprise has been helping VEGAN to make more inhibitory drugs, inhibition cannot be treated after all, so developing methods to treat diseases has become their biggest concern.
"There is progress. Combining the technology of the AGE system and EXA-DB, we have initially found the direction. The next step is a large number of experiments to verify the results. This matter still needs your help." Yang Hui said to the two.
"Please say, Mr. Yang Hui, as long as we can do it, we will do our best." Mrs. Doreen and Gerhardt were very excited when they heard this. The research has found a direction, so it will not be far from completion, and the people of VEGAN will soon not have to suffer from illness.
"I hope you can gather a group of volunteers to participate in the experiment. Of course, it is best to be voluntary. The ultimate goal of the experiment is to cure diseases and save lives." Yang Hui said.
"I see. I will return to the Second Moon immediately to issue a call for volunteers as soon as possible."
"Thank you."
"We should thank you, Mr. Yang Hui. You are a great man."
Mrs. Doreen left. Yang Hui stood in front of the window and looked at the scenery. Thinking of Mrs. Doreen's praise for him, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Great? Haha, I'm just afraid of having nightmares."
"Sure enough, Mr. Yang Hui hasn't changed."
Jehart stayed and did not return to the Second Moon with Mrs. Doreen.
"If you are staying to monitor me, you don't have to." Yang Hui teased.
"How could it be? If you can't even be trusted, then there's no one on Earth that can be trusted." Gerhardt said with a smile, "Although the negotiations are over, my work on Earth is not over yet. It's enough for my wife to preside over the Second Moon, and I still have a lot to learn from you."
"Learn from me? What? Are you planning to change your career to become a scientist?"
"No..."
"Then what are you learning from me? I won't deal with those old foxes."
"Uh..."
Gerhardt's mouth twitched, and Yang Hui made him speechless. Under his influence, Yang Hui seemed to have never been involved in politics, but how to say it...
Although Yang Hui had never touched politics and even kept hiding, it seemed that every time a major event occurred, there was Yang Hui's shadow, or... it was all moving in the direction Yang Hui hoped for.
"Is this 'Only because he does not fight, no one in the world can fight with him'? Awesome!" Gerhardt suddenly thought of an ancient book he had seen recently, and the famous sayings in it. He didn't understand it at the time, but now that he saw the examples, he realized that he had really learned it!
Now it was Yang Hui's turn to be depressed. Why did Jehart start to become so disloyal? He just didn't want to cause trouble for himself. Besides, the mission was about to end, and he would have to leave eventually. If he sat at the top, what would he do if he left? What excuse would he find to leave?
So it would be better not to participate directly, saving a lot of trouble.
"Okay, you go and do your thing. I have to go to the laboratory and get the results as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mr. Yang Hui..." Just as they were about to separate, Jehart suddenly thought of something and called Yang Hui, "Please wait, Mr. Yang Hui."
"Anything else?"
"Qiao's coming-of-age ceremony will be in a week. Can you go?" Jehart asked.
"..." Yang Hui, who cared about his family, rarely answered Jehart immediately.
To be honest, he hated Qiao, especially because his naivety almost killed You Lin, but he didn't hold a grudge, he just didn't want to contact him and was cold.
In the past few years, Yang Hui had only met Qiao very few times, and he would never give him a good face.
Asem and others have been trying to ease the relationship between the two, but have not made good progress.
"Asem said?" Yang Hui asked calmly.
"No, it was Ms. Yulin who said it."
"Yulin?" Yang Hui was stunned for a moment and looked at Jehart.
"Yes, Ms. Yulin." Jehart nodded sincerely, his eyes sincere, letting Yang Hui know that he was not lying.
"...Okay, I know."
"Then I'll leave first."
After Jehart left, Yang Hui did not go to the laboratory immediately, but came to the window again and looked at the scenery.
"Is this what you mean? Yulin, I really am... Hehe."
Shaking his head in self-mockery and smiling bitterly, Yang Hui understood what Yulin meant.
On the other side, Jehart sent a text message to Asem after getting in the car: "He agreed."
Then he leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes, sighing that Asem and others finally got smart once and found Yulin as the middleman.
"Lord Jehart, where are we going now?" asked Fram Nara, who was sitting next to him.
"Well... let's go to Asuno's house."
"Yes."
"Dor, Offa, Dieter, you will take a holiday later and come to pick me up the day after tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"No, Lord Gerhardt, our mission is to protect you." Dol Frost, who was driving, replied, and Offa Dieter and Dieter Lance, who were also bodyguards, nodded in agreement.
"The war is over, I..."
"No, Lord Gerhart."
"You guys...well, forget it, come with me to Asano's house."
"Yes, Lord Gerhart." The three people who answered had relaxed smiles on their faces.
