Chapter 4308 Punishment
What happened this time made Barry Rand feel a lot of emotion, and at the same time, he did some self-reflection.
And let his thinking change quite obviously.
Among them, the biggest change is undoubtedly the recognition of the concept of "community of common destiny".
This time it really made him feel deeply.
At the same time, through the battle against the Soul Eater, Barry Rand also fully realized that in front of the entire universe, a country, even if it is as strong as their Black Iron Empire, is still weak.
Some things may really require a large number of countries to unite and face them together.
Of course, how long Barry Rand's ideological consciousness will last after experiencing a catastrophe, and then he has a great understanding, has to be questioned.
After all, forgetting the pain when the scar is healed is not a human patent.
This time, the Soul Eater incident was a big deal, and their Seven-Star Alliance's combat power could be said to be mobilized on a large scale.
However, at this stage, this matter has been resolved after all, so there is no need for representatives of all parties to gather together to discuss this matter.
Let's hold an online meeting, just talk about it.
Aside from the sudden change, Gao Qian, who was trapped inside and couldn't get out at all, didn't mention it. As the first country to discover the existence of Soul Eater, the Black Iron Empire must be to blame for this incident. of.
However, considering that this is an old thing many years ago, and the Black Iron Empire did not join their Seven Star Alliance before this.
So there is no need for excessive accountability.
And this time, the Black Iron Empire has made great efforts, which can be regarded as making up for it.
In the end, with Ye Tianxiong, the chairman of the alliance, as the core, the representatives of the alliance, after a brief discussion, made a decision to let the Black Iron Empire pay half of the military resources consumed by the countries in this operation.
Even if this is the case, when added together, it is already an astonishing astronomical figure.
Even a first-class powerful country like the Black Iron Empire may not be able to bear it all at once, and must choose to pay in installments.
This is also one of the reasons why the Black Iron Empire was not allowed to pay for all the consumption after everyone's discussion.
If the Black Iron Empire needs to pay all the money, it might not be necessary to force the Black Iron Empire to go to Liangshan on the spot, throw the table and leave.
That said, hyperbole is exaggerating a bit, but that's pretty much what it means.
In the case of halving, although that number is still amazing, Barry Rand also knows that everyone has let him go.
As soon as this matter came out, he owed a favor to all the allied countries present. If he didn't know good and bad, it would be a bit unreasonable.
After confirming the punishment for the Black Iron Empire and the Gu Yue Empire, after confirming the other party's attitude, they will naturally ask the other party for an explanation.
After all, to be honest, including the Black Iron Empire, they are actually victims. Gao Qian's grandfather, who caused this change and led to the birth of the Soul Eater, is the culprit of all this!
Of course, Gao Qian's grandfather had already died for many years, but the Black Iron Empire carried half of this pot, so wouldn't your Gu Yue Empire have to carry half of it?
But the more troublesome thing now is that the Gu Yue Empire is not a member of their Seven Star Alliance, so they can't directly discuss and decide this matter like they did with the Black Iron Empire.
It is necessary to send an envoy to negotiate with the Gu Yue Empire.
In the eyes of the representatives of various parties, this is undoubtedly a troublesome matter. Different from business talks and cooperation talks, this wave is strictly for debt collection, and the negotiating strength of the other party, the representatives of all countries have experience Well, no one wants to take this trouble now.
In the end, these guys made a bad move and jointly elected Ye Qingxuan as the alliance representative to be in charge of negotiating this matter with the Gu Yue Empire.
This matter finally fell on Ye Qingxuan's head.
"These guys..."
At this moment, Ye Qingxuan, as the person involved, has every reason to suspect that these guys just want to avenge the 'one arrow' of the previous interview.
But she doesn't care anymore, just talk about it! Just taking this opportunity, they also talked about some initial cooperation projects between Ye's Chamber of Commerce and Guyue Empire.
And during this period of time, their contacts between the Ye's Chamber of Commerce and the Gu Yue Empire are actually quite close.
The main reason for this was undoubtedly the special friendship between Gao Qian and Ye Chongshan, the third president of the Ye's Chamber of Commerce, and the fact that the other party was actually the seventh star of the Seven Star Alliance.
By the way, during this process, those members of Ye Feixing, Li Ke, Xu Ji, and Jessica who stayed in the Gu Yue Empire before have also been officially picked up. Temporarily placed on the side of the Black Iron Empire, they will return to the base camp with the fleet of the Ye's Chamber of Commerce.
In a short period of time, seeing Gao Qian again, Ye Qingxuan didn't want to play tricks with him. She also knew that Gao Qian was not interested in this way, so she directly explained her intentions to her.
Gao Qian, who understood the situation, also nodded very simply, indicating that there is no problem.
There is no headache at all in the minds of the representatives of various countries.
In the previous interview, they were talking about cooperation and interests, which even involved their own positions. Gao Qian may not care in her heart, but he is the emperor of a country after all, and he still has a sense of responsibility for the future of the Gu Yue Empire. Even with this in mind, it is impossible for him to let the representatives of various countries speak loudly there.
But this time things were different.
Tracing back to the source, his grandfather can indeed be said to be the chief culprit, and as Emperor Gu Yue, he is also to blame.
It is appropriate to give this compensation, Gao Qian has nothing to say.
After that, Ye Qingxuan maintained her efficiency, and had a good talk with Gao Qian about the current situation in the universe and society, as well as some things that are best not to be done, lest Gao Qian and others who just got out of trouble, be completely unaware of the situation. Come on, what unnecessary troubles are caused.
Regarding these, Ye Qingxuan spoke very sincerely, and naturally Gao Qian would not take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and listened seriously, which made the whole conversation go very smoothly.
until the end of the conversation...
After closing the completed and signed cooperation documents, Ye Qingxuan exhaled a long breath, then looked up at Gao Qian who was sitting there.
"One last thing."
Hearing these words, Gao Qian who was sitting there raised her head slightly.
Even though Ye Qingxuan hadn't said anything out yet, in Gao Qian's mind, she already had some guesses about what Ye Qingxuan was about to say, and it could even be said that she had already guessed almost to a close.
Ye Qingxuan vaguely felt that Gao Qian should have guessed what she was going to say next, but this would not hinder her.
"One last thing, do you want to join the Seven Star Alliance?"
