Chapter 144 Above Profits
Just as New Eden was preparing for a new round of arms expansion, a special guest arrived in the Omega Union.
There were only two people in the empty conference room. Barley, who should have been the host, sat on the left side of the conference table, while another middle-aged man sat in the main seat.
"Why, are you surprised to see me, Lord Barley?"
Gray Dasaszo said with a smile as he looked at the fierce man in front of him.
Facing Gray Dasaszo's question, Barley had to squeeze out an ugly smile.
"I thought Dasaszo would send someone, but I didn't think you would come in person, especially at such a special time now."
When he learned that Harry Dasaszo, the first heir of the Dasaszo civilization, was killed by the killing angel on his way back after participating in the Omega auction, he didn't care much, and even thanked the killing angel for not attacking him in his Omega star field.
At that time, he only expressed regret when facing the inquiry of the Dasaszo civilization, because without sufficient evidence, the Dasaszo civilization had to take into account the forces behind the Omega Union, so he was not worried at all.
But when Mu Yunyan left the Omega Union and announced that he would join the New Eden in the neighboring star field as the leader of the Killing Angel, he felt that something was wrong.
The captain, chief instructor, and one of the senior members of his own joint fleet turned out to be a Killing Angel, and he was also the leader. This made the Omega Union jump into the Yellow River and never clear it.
And this situation made the forces behind them very dissatisfied.
"My most outstanding and most beloved child died because of you. How do you think I, as a father, should avenge you?"
Gray Dasaszo looked at Barley. Although his face was smiling, his eyes did not hide his anger.
But Barley just shook his head and sighed.
"Mr. Gray, you should state your conditions. We don't know when the war will break out. Time is limited. After all, you don't want others to know your whereabouts, right?"
The emperor of the Dasaszo civilization came in person, so he definitely didn't come for revenge.
But he had to be prepared for heavy bleeding.
Gray Dasaszo stared at Barley with a pair of sharp eyes like a hawk, and his upper body bent forward slightly.
"Oh? Are you so confident that I won't retaliate against you?"
Looking at Gray Dasaszo's expression, Barley was more certain of his judgment. He leaned back in his chair, took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and said to Gray Dasaszo with great certainty:
"War is just an extension of interests. If you can get enough benefits without bloodshed, why start a war?"
Looking at Barley, Gray Dasaszo gave a sinister smile.
"You are right, but don't forget, that's my son, my favorite and most outstanding son!
What kind of benefits do you think can make me give up revenge?"
Barley looked at Gray Dasaszo and put out the cigar he had just smoked.
"If you want to wage war to take revenge, there is no need to come here in person. You only need a notice or even no notice, so what you are seeking is still benefits.
Besides, you are still young and have many outstanding children. There is enough time to cultivate a satisfactory successor. There is no need to gamble the fate of the entire Dasaszo civilization and go to war with the Omega Union."
Barley said, pointing to the ceiling above.
"You also know that it's okay for you to teach the Omega Union a lesson, but it's impossible to cause great damage or even destruction to the Omega Union. Those people will not really sit back and watch. After all, we are their cash cow."
Listening to Barley's words, Gray Dasaszo also put away his sinister expression just now, showing a gentle smile, with unspeakable sarcasm.
"As expected of a businessman, you have a thorough understanding of interests!"
"Businessmen pursue interests, and so do civilizations. As a leader of a civilization, you should not only consider yourself, but also the entire civilization."
Barley said humbly.
Although the people behind them will not sit idly by and watch the Omega Union be destroyed, they will not mind replacing an agent to calm the anger of the Dasaszo civilization.
As he said, the entire universe is pursuing interests, and having an agent can solve this problem, which is undoubtedly the most beneficial for the people behind them, so he can't help but be humble.
He doesn't want to be a sacrifice.
And Gray Dasaszo is also very wary of the people above the Omega Union.
Behind the formation of the Omega Union are three giants, the Freedom Camp, the Justice Camp, and the Pan-Civilization Business Alliance as a neutral camp.
After the camp war that year, the Freedom Camp and the Justice Camp in the Southern War Zone confronted each other, and the Omega Star Region, as a military detente zone between the two camps, was initially occupied by the survivors of the war and gradually developed.
These people relied on the convenience of this location to start a reselling business and made a lot of money, but then they were spotted by the Pan-Civilization Business Alliance, which sent the Barley family as an agent to share a piece of the pie, and then they grew bigger and bigger with their support.
But after seeing that the reselling business was so profitable, people from the two camps also began to send agents.
At the beginning, the three parties fought hard and formed a three-legged tripod in the Omega Star Region, but the long-term war made their business difficult.
So under the mediation of Barley, the Omega Union, a purely commercial organization, appeared. After seeing that this method was more profitable than fighting alone, the two camps also acquiesced.
Then, in the development of these decades, the Omega Federation gradually broke away from the control of the three forces and became an independent organization.
Of course, Barley and others also knew that their existence was due to the support of the three forces behind them, so most of the benefits of the Omega Federation were still given to the three parties in exchange for protection.
So the Omega Federation was in such an awkward situation that it was neither independent nor controlled by the three parties. It was a bit like opening a store and paying protection fees to the three gangs on time.
Gray Dasaszo handed a list to Barley and said no more:
"If you agree to the above conditions, the matter will be settled. If you don't agree, then be prepared to accept the anger from a civilization."
Barley looked at the list and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Sir, the money and resources are fine, but do you think our business union can provide the manufacturing technology of the third generation of dreadnoughts?"
Although the compensation money and resources in the conditions offered by Gray Dasaszo are huge, they can still be provided with the strength of the Omega Union, but the manufacturing technology of the dreadnoughts is too outrageous.
Not to mention that they don't have it, even if they have it, they can't agree.
The manufacturing technology of the third generation of dreadnoughts is top secret even to the people behind them, so how could they give it to them.
You must know that even the main fleets of the civilization directly under the Angel Civilization are still using the third generation flagships, or even the two and a half generation flagships. The technology of the third generation of dreadnoughts is probably not worthy of the entire Omega Union even if it is sold.
Barley looked at Gray Dasaszo and smiled bitterly: "Let's do this. The other conditions will be increased by 50% on the original basis. Don't joke about the manufacturing technology of the third-generation dreadnoughts, otherwise we would rather accept the war."
Looking at Barley, Gray Dasaszo showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but then disappeared.
Originally, he just wanted to try it, and he didn't have much hope for it, so he replied very simply:
"Deal!"
With this, the two sides settled their grievances.
Shortly after the end of the talks, an Omega Federation fleet escorted hundreds of large transport ships to the Beecher Meteor Region.
The mighty fleet made other fleets along the way avoid it.
In Omega Star City, a pair of eyes narrowed as they looked at the mighty fleet leaving, with a mocking look on the corner of their mouth.
When he turned around and left, he clicked on the communication to send an encrypted email
