Chapter 1931: One Hundred Million Starships
Hearing the request made by the other party.
Zhao Chen was mentally prepared for this kind of bargaining before he arrived, and the secretariat had also made many contingency plans in advance.
"Regarding the compensation for survivors and damaged starships, we can appropriately increase it a bit."
The original value has been increased by another 30%.
However, a reinforcement force of only 30 million interstellar warships is not enough.
Like this.
"Two hundred million interstellar warships!" Zhao Chen proposed his idea.
"We really can't gather 200 million ships."
"Fifty million, that's the most I can get," Venerable Puyu said from the side.
Zhao Chen remembered what Grand Marshal Charlotte had said before.
The Venerable Civilization Alliance will most likely provide assistance, but they will definitely try to negotiate the number of interstellar warships they provide.
We should start by proposing a number that the other party definitely won't agree to.
Then pull it.
We will not require these reinforcement starships to be deployed on the battlefield of the final battle, but mainly on the flanks.
Ideally, the number should be between 100 million and 200 million ships.
I estimate that 200 million ships is quite a stretch.
But one hundred million ships is the minimum.
We can also make a few more small requests.
"Fifty million ships is definitely not enough."
This quantity, when placed on our battlefield, is like a stone thrown into the ocean; it only causes a ripple.
How could you possibly bring out that shark called the Conqueror from the ocean?
Let's do this.
I understand that you can't gather 200 million interstellar warships in a short period of time.
I have an idea.
It is divided into three batches, with each batch spaced no more than one month apart.
The first batch consisted of 100 million interstellar warships, followed by two batches of 50 million interstellar warships each.
However, there is a prerequisite.
That means the first batch of interstellar warships must include those Dragon-class interstellar warships that we delivered to you before.
On our battlefield, these JF-17 interstellar warships work even better with our combat systems.
In addition, regarding your concerns that mobilizing a large number of your starships would lead to insufficient combat power.
I can give you a promise.
I only need these interstellar warships for a maximum of four months.
Four months from now, I will be able to return at least one hundred million of these interstellar warships.
This is my bare minimum requirement.
Even if you're willing to give me the lowest price, that's all.
"What's the point if we can't win this battle?" Zhao Chen stated his final thought.
Upon hearing Emperor Xiaolong's suggestion...
The four venerable ones exchanged glances; this was actually quite similar to what they had expected.
"Okay."
It's settled then.
"Three batches of starships, the first batch of one hundred million." With that, Venerable Shining's words sealed the deal.
With the main details finalized, the remaining issues are mainly timing.
These are no longer the key points.
The time allotted for this discussion.
The first batch of interstellar warships was assembled within a week and dispatched to the Xiaolong Space Cluster battlefield, completely under the command of the Xiaolong Emperor.
The next two batches of interstellar warships were spaced at most one month apart.
Apart from the strategic supplies carried at the time of departure, all subsequent strategic resupply for these interstellar warships was handled by the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
And the strategic resources it carried, some of which were consumed.
The Dragon Star Empire will then provide compensation in various forms.
From this point on, Zhao Chen's trip can be considered a complete success.
He successfully obtained reinforcements from the Venerable Civilization Alliance.
