Chapter 739: Prepare for Both Situations
"The current problem is how we can curb the expansion of the Great Yan Empire."
Lu Qingxian's eyes swept across everyone's faces. "If the Great Yan Empire is allowed to expand so rapidly, it will not take a few years for the Great Yan Empire's troops to point to our Human Federation."
"We can only wait for the arrival of the Earth Tree Clan's reinforcements."
A senior member of the parliament said helplessly, "Five level 210 strong men disappeared strangely. It is impossible for Bunil and Blake to run to the Tianling Galaxy again." ❁✯✥
Lu Qingxian shook his head. "I mean the situation where the reinforcements arrive and Yi Chen is still not captured."
Everyone was stunned.
They understood what Lu Qingxian meant.
This made them feel that Lu Qingxian was a little worried.
Subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to their lips, they swallowed them all back.
Worrying about nothing may not be a bad thing.
They were also worried about the big problem that after the Earth Tree Clan's reinforcements arrived, they could not capture Yi Chen.
Since there is a concern, no matter how high the success rate is, it also means that this situation is indeed possible.
The best way is undoubtedly to wait for the Earth Tree Clan to solve this matter.
The problem is, who knows whether the Earth Tree Clan can solve it.
In the past, every time it seemed to be a sure thing, but every time it was unsuccessful.
Seeing that everyone had understood what he meant, Lu Qingxian sighed, "Just like before Yi Chen asked us to collect the second interest, no matter whether the Earth Tree Clan can solve this trouble, we can't sit and wait for the result."
"In fact, it was precisely because of that time that we didn't have much hope for the Earth Tree Clan that we tried to contact Yi Chen through the Renaissance Army again and again. Thus, Yi Chen collected the second interest."
Everyone couldn't help but look thoughtful.
With the current strength of Yi Chen and the Great Yan Empire, the Human Federation has no means of suppression.
Sending troops to the Tianling Galaxy or the Undead Galaxy is purely seeking death.
Moreover, if ordinary soldiers know the information about Yi Chen and the Great Yan Empire, it will be difficult to completely block the news.
Yi Chen has now most likely reached the upper limit of this galaxy group and become the strongest person in this galaxy group.
The people of the Great Yan Empire also used the third generation of the blessed land to reach the human immortal stage on average.
If this news were known to the people of the Federation, who knows what kind of chaos would happen.
The gratitude to the Earth Tree Clan would at least disappear, and even turn into hatred.
The praise of these federal leaders would probably turn into endless abuse.
Because if it weren't for the interference of the Earth Tree Clan, and if these federal leaders were not reluctant to give up their power and try to control Yi Chen, the Human Federation might have reconciled with Yi Chen long ago.
And if they really wanted to reconcile, it is very likely that the strength of the people of the Federation would now go straight to the human immortal stage.
That is a realm with a lifespan of at least 60,000 to 70,000 years.
This alone is enough to kill any benefits given by the Earth Tree Clan in seconds.
Not to mention being inferior to others and being complacent as a vassal race of others.
In this case, it is better to do the opposite, just like last time, and take the initiative to win over Yi Chen at all costs without telling the Earth Tree Clan.
Last time, Yi Chen's second interest request was successfully met.
Yi Chen unexpectedly gave the alchemy technique and various elixir formulas to the Human Federation.
From this, it can be seen that although Yi Chen still hates the Human Federation, the relationship between the two sides is at least not to the extent that Yi Chen is unwilling to trade with the Human Federation.
As long as the Human Federation is willing to pay the price, at least the relationship can be slowly repaired.
It is much better than pinning all hopes on the Earth Tree Clan.
But...
A senior military official said, "The second interest collected by Yi Chen seemed a little strange at the time. But judging from the information of various tribes, the various materials of this interest are probably used to refine the materials needed for the third generation of cave paradise."
"And those materials are all low-grade rare fairy ores. At the beginning, our human federation spared no expense, even exhausted a huge amount of resources and relationships, and made every effort to purchase from all tribes in the entire galaxy group, and barely reached the number required by Yi Chen."
"At this stage, Yi Chen unified the Tianling Galaxy, and the entire Undead Galaxy will soon become his possession. The only thing he can look at is probably the materials needed for the fourth generation of cave paradise."
"And the materials needed for the fourth generation of cave paradise must be medium and low-grade rare fairy ores. Looking at the galaxy group, it is absolutely impossible to collect them. Where can we raise these materials to satisfy him?"
"Can we ask the Earth Tree Clan for it?"
A senior member of the parliament suggested.
"This..."
All the senior officials of the federation looked hesitant.
"Judging from the attitude of the Earth Tree Clan towards our Human Federation, the situation in the Super Galaxy Cluster is bound to become tense."
Lu Qingxian said, "If we ask the Earth Tree Clan for some low- and medium-grade rare fairy ores, it is unlikely to be rejected. But the problem is that the average realm of our Human Federation is not high, and we don't need low- and medium-grade rare fairy ores at all. In addition, the Earth Tree Clan envoys already know the information about Yi Chen and the Great Yan Empire, and they must know that we are secretly contacting Yi Chen."
"In this case, I think it's better to confront the Earth Tree Clan and tell them that we are trying to ease relations with Yi Chen in another way."
"Of course, this is after the reinforcements of the Earth Tree Clan come, and we still can't solve the troubles brought by Yi Chen before confronting the Earth Tree Clan."
"In this way, we can also put pressure on the Earth Tree Clan and make them more eager to capture Yi Chen."
As soon as Lu Qingxian said these words, all the senior federal officials nodded in admiration.
This is truly the best of both worlds.
The only drawback is that even though he took the initiative to confess to the Earth Tree Tribe, it was clear that he did not trust the Earth Tree Tribe's ability.
Although the Dishu Clan has never been able to capture Yi Chen, and it is indeed not trustworthy enough, to show it directly would be a bit of a slap in the face of the Dishu Clan.
This will somewhat make the top leaders of the Earth Tree Clan unhappy with the Human Federation.
But in order to have one more choice and one more path, this price is something the Human Federation can bear.
"In addition, there is actually another condition that Yi Chen desperately wants and that we can get..."
Lu Qingxian was about to speak but stopped.
Everyone present was a smart person, and after thinking about it for a moment, they understood what Lu Qingxian was talking about.
Those babies and toddlers.
What the Great Yan Empire lacks most is population.
As early as the end of Yi Chen's exile on the planet, when he approached the Human Federation to collect the first interest, among the various conditions offered, there was one requirement that made the federation's senior officials very embarrassed.
That’s 50 million infants and young children.
After that, the Great Yan Empire, through the Renaissance Army and the second payment of interest, has successively taken away more than a billion infants and children from the Human Federation in more than ten years.
Whether on the exiled planet or in the Tianling Galaxy, according to various data, Yi Chen has always regarded the human race as the only cornerstone of his empire.
In this case, one billion is not a lot.
But at the current rate of expansion of the Great Yan Empire, the population is still far from enough.
Although satisfying the population needs of the Great Yan Empire is no less than drinking poison to quench thirst, it will only make Yi Chen more determined to destroy the Human Federation.
But at least, this can ease the relationship with him at this stage.
The pros outweigh the cons.
The reason why Lu Qingxian was hesitant to speak and did not say it directly was that this kind of matter was an extremely serious violation of federal laws and could not be explained clearly at all.
Otherwise, if the news leaks out, the parliament building and military headquarters will be overthrown by angry people.
"Find a small race and secretly cultivate a group of dead soldiers to be scapegoats! Once the news leaks, blame it all on the Renaissance Army. If they can't push it away, push this small race out and say that they have secretly defected to the Great Yan Empire ”
A senior member of the parliament suddenly spoke.
A number of senior federal officials remained silent.
