Chapter 108: Flags.h.i.+p and Slave Trade (Part One)
Han’s meteoric rise and his achievement of the champions.h.i.+p place at the exploration event was astonis.h.i.+ng. During the giant c.o.c.ktail party after, he had a very pleasant conversation with Prime Minister Doyle.
“Han, you have to consider carefully. We, the Mang Republic, are one of the 12 permanent management countries in the Milky Way Alliance. Our powerful national strength is not something Earth can be compared to. Stay here with me, and I guarantee that you can have the best resources and top tier benefits.” Doyle drank with Han as they talked about the proposal of inviting Han to join the Mang Republic.
What was most precious resource in the Milky Way these days?
Of course it was the talented youth.
When Han carefully described how he snuck into the core infrastructure of the A-19 relic, how hard the battle was, and how he ultimately destroyed the base, although the vast majority of the plot was purely made up, the story was excitingly told and he got Prime Minster Doyle really hooked and entertained.
Soldiers were also divided into different categories, and Han was the type that has been tested in combat. So many talented espers died in A-19, and he was among the few that survived, so even idiots could tell that Han had skills that were superior to others.
And he was totally different from the soldiers that were made in training rooms. Han was forged on the battle field. Before the event, no one even knew about Han. But after the event, who still haven’t heard of Han?
So, it was very natural for Doyle to hope that Han stayed in the Mang Republic.
The 12 permanent management members had vast amounts of land, accounting for almost one-third of the entire Milky Way, and they also had the most abundant resources and best environment.
Each year, the Mang Republic discovered large numbers of new relics, so it needed a lot more soldiers with the exploring experience to help the Mang Republic activate and explore these relics.
Han has the unique Void End ability and plenty of real combat experience. Particularly how he sneaked into the gene factory on his own and destroyed it, it has never been done before in the entire Milky Way. Doyle really hoped to borrow Han’s successful experience to help his country explore more relics.
Han smiled, “Prime Minister, no matter how small Earth is, it’s still my home. Now that my home country is in a difficult situation and it’s also been eyed by many powerful countries, even if I stay I wouldn’t feel at ease. So, I still need to ask the Prime Minister to rescind the order.
Doyle slightly nodded his head and said as if it’s not a big deal, “You are talking about the “Sally Empire colonizing Earth” issue right? Don’t worry about it, with me here, they can keep on dreaming. Permanent Management countries have veto power. In addition, you are also the winner of this year’s Milky Way Meet, I asked some other colleagues and no one agreed to let Earth turn into a colony.”
“The A-19 is now a safe relic, and we, the Mang Republic, can take the bigger share of the benefits from it, and the other 11 Permanent Management countries will all benefit as well. This is all because of you and no one will forget.”
“I must thank everyone’s support.” Han suddenly changed his tone and said, “Although Earth can temporarily avoid becoming a colony, but as long as Earth does not become powerful, then I won’t feel at ease. So, Prime Minister, please support my decision to go back and construct my home.”
“I can promise that if the Mang Republic needs me anywhere, Prime Minister, don’t hesitate to ask me and I will for sure provide my strength.”
Doyle nodded slightly, since Han already said that it won’t be convenient for him to say anything else. Although Han refused to join Mang Republic, the words he said still made Doyle very happy.
Pan Yulin, who accompanied Han by his side, gave him a hint with his eyes, and they saw Mode and Levi walking towards them and wearing a malicious smile.
After simple greetings, these two sat down on the same table, and Levi opened his mouth, “Sally Empire and Earth Federation are both in the 57th Galactic district. We are all neighbors, brother Han achieving success is also the honor of us 57th district as a whole. It’s definitely something that need to be celebrated.”
Mo sneered and continued Levi’s words, “But aside from celebration, we still don’t know what time Earth Federation intends to open the B-cla.s.s relic, I’m very looking forward to it.”
Han knew clearly, how Mode was not looking forward to the rise of Earth. He was clearly looking forward to Earth being destroyed when the monsters of the B-cla.s.s relic floods out. There was a little riot at the A-cla.s.s relic and it was almost enough to kill all 10 thousand talented espers. B-cla.s.s relics were also very dangerous, and with Earth’s current strength there was no hope that it can be conquered.
Levi said, “In the Milky Way, there aren’t a lot of B-cla.s.s relics so they are very precious, and now the whole Alliance is waiting for Earth to excavate this B-cla.s.s relic. The Sally Empire is still Earth’s neighbor no matter how you look at it. If necessary, we will definitely fully support Earth to explore their relic themselves.”
Han frowned. After talking so much, these two guys were still just waiting to see Earth screw up.
According to the Milky Way Alliance rules, A-cla.s.s relics were way too terrifying, and whether it should be explored will be based on a long-term plan. However, once a B-cla.s.s relic was found, the Alliance will urge the possessing country to excavate quickly, and if they don’t have the ability to excavate, then the relic should be handed to the Alliance as early as possible.
So, for those weak countries, a B-cla.s.s relic was not a benefit but a curse.
As for the joint development plan with the Sally Empire, then it was even less desirable. At that time, the Sally Empire will just take away the majority of the relic output and Earth would end up doing the work but getting barely anything in return.
Perhaps not liking to see Levi and Mode so aggressive, Doyle said in a deep voice, “Han, if you guys have difficulty exploring the relic, you can ask us the Mang Republic for help. A mere B-cla.s.s relic, it would be done if we just send you guys a legion.”
Han smiled and saluted to Doyle, “Thank you Prime Minister for your good intentions, but this time we want to try exploring this site on our own. No matter how small Earth is, it’s still a sovereign country after all. If we always rely on others, then when will we ever grow up.”
Doyle hesitated for a moment, and then gently nodded his head and didn’t say anything. It was Pan Yulin that slightly jabbed Han with his elbow, rejecting Mang Republic’s help. Pan Yulin thought Han might’ve gone a bit crazy.
Mode and Levi’s eyes lit up, and Mode said in a deep voice, “Mark your own words, you little Earth have to explore B-cla.s.s relic on your own.”
Chapter 108: Flags.h.i.+p and Slave Trade (Chapter Two)
“Yep.”
“When? Who knows if you guys are just using some delaying tactics.” Levi aggressively followed up and asked.
“3 years is the limit.”
“Alright.” Mode laughed out loud and stood up, his contemptuous eyes swept across Han and Pan Yulin and satisfyingly said, “Within three years, I will wait and see Earth excavating the B-cla.s.s relic on their own. Levi, let’s go, look at how strong Earth is, they don’t even need our help.”
Hahahahaha~
Mode and Levi walked away, Doyle also had to go entertain other guests, so he got up and went to another table.
Pan Yulin let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice, “Han, you are too impulsive. The B-cla.s.s relic is not something we can deal with.”
Han quietly said, “This time you have to believe in me. Conquering our B-cla.s.s relic is not just a crisis for Earth, but it is also the best opportunity we have to rise.”
“I’ll believe in you.”
……
Miracle System, 6th Star, Mang Republic’s large Military Airport.
Han finally got to see the legendary Flying Dragon Cla.s.s s.p.a.cecraft carrier. It didn’t even look like a s.h.i.+p, but like a mountain. A super huge one that stretched to 854 km.
Yes, the Flying Dragon was currently one of the highest level flags.h.i.+ps in the Milky Way. The most ferocious killing machine with a staggering length of 850 kilometers. When anch.o.r.ed down, one can’t even see the other end.
A flags.h.i.+p was like a city. The Flying Dragon s.p.a.cecraft carrier needed at least 30 thousand crew members in order to take off. As for the maximum capacity, depending on the arrangements, if all the s.p.a.ce was used to carry pa.s.sengers, then it could easily carry millions of people.
Every Flying Dragon s.p.a.cecraft carrier had the standard configuration of 3000 types of unmanned aerial vehicles. There were attacking UAVs, reconnaissance UAVS, unmanned bombers and so on.
The combat effectiveness of an UAV was equivalent to a small frigate, and that meant the Flying Dragon s.p.a.cecraft carrier itself carried the combat strength of a powerful fleet.
And how many s.p.a.cecraft carriers were there right now in the Milky Way?
This, Han didn’t know. Big countries wouldn’t just share this information with everyone, but Han knew very clearly that of the 14 thousand countries in Milky Way, no more than 100 countries actually had a s.p.a.cecraft carrier.
After possessing this Flying Dragon, Earth Federation leaped to become one of the few countries that had flags.h.i.+ps.
After visiting the mighty stars.h.i.+p, Han obviously got really excited. But of course, in order to stop getting bullied, just having a flags.h.i.+p was not enough, Earth still needed an all-round enhancement.
So, after saying farewell with Pan Yulin, Han set foot on his previously planned trip and went to a place no one would’ve guessed.
As for this Flying Dragon, it will need the Mang Republic’s Navy to help return the s.h.i.+p to Earth. The little Earth now doesn’t even have enough crew to control this giant s.h.i.+p, it was actually pretty sad now that you think about it.
Han gave Pan Yulin 300 pink star crystals which could be sold for at least two hundred million and use that money to purchase some the most urgently needed supplies for Earth. In addition, Han also got a lot of second-hand weapons and gave them to Pan Yulin to take back.
Shua~
The Falcon cla.s.s frigate that carried Han and Pan Yulin to Miracle System took off again, this time taking Han alone to the place he wanted to go.
Coming to his room, and connecting the computer to the Galactic Dark Net, Han stood up and looked out of the window.
Although being only a very small star system under the Mang Republic, the Miracle System actually brought tremendous shock for Han. The bustling cities, dense population, well-developed financial and commercial systems.
At the Miracle System alone, the Mang Republic anch.o.r.ed 7 flags.h.i.+ps, and it could be seen how significant the gap was between Earth and the top civilization in the Milky Way.
Dididididi~
After the real-time communication channel with Night Walker was established, Night Walker laughed and said to Han, “I helped you contact Horton already, he’s one of the biggest slave traders in the Milky Way and he agreed to send someone to pick you up at the point of contact.
Han nodded slightly, “Thanks, I also mailed some blood seeps and condensed crystal to you and was hoping you can help a.n.a.lyze them.”
Night Walker waved his hand and said casually, “That’s no problem. My biggest hobby in my life is studying pharmacology. Blood seeps left behind by star beasts, I have never even seen that before and I was actually hoping to study them.”
“But then again, how many slaves are you looking to buy from Horton? The goods on his hands are good quality but they are also very expensive.”
Price?
Han gently touched his dimensional ring which was just something other people could see, and no one even knew about all the babies Han stored inside the Lunar Mark.
Han almost cleared the entire A-19 relic. Just counting blueprints that were worth hundreds of billions GC each, there were more than 13 thousand blueprints and he also had 7000 genetic maps.
The reason Han dared to agree to conquer their B-cla.s.s relic without anyone’s help was because now he had enough cards in his hands.
Problems that cannot be solved through normal channels? Then Han will just go through the dark net and solve them using illegal ways.
On the dark net, nothing can’t be traded.
Since Earth lacks the high-grade warriors necessary for excavating high tier relics, then he will just buy a bunch directly from the dark net.
