Star: Every enemy makes me stronger

Liu Cheng nodded. He remembered that Augustine had mentioned this to him before, and replied:

"I remember. It seemed that the alien creatures attacked too fiercely that time, and the United Government also wanted to help the Empire improve its strength, so as to serve as a barrier to consume the alien creatures.

Later, because the intensity of the alien creatures' attacks slowed down, the conflict between the Empire and the Alliance increased again, and the United Government did not allow you to provide dissection services for the Interstellar Empire."

Augustine said:

"Yes, that's right.

However, after the outbreak of the Third Total War, the conflict between the United Government and the Interstellar Empire eased, and the United Government encouraged us to do so again.

A few days ago, I received an invitation from the Interstellar Empire.

I was invited to help dissect the bodies of alien creatures and provide star cores for their generals. The reward was not cheap.

But I am not short of money now, so It was rejected.

I think if we change the content of the reward, will it help us solve the trouble we are facing now? "

Liu Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked:

"Senior Augustine, are you saying that we provide dissection services to the empire in exchange for their fleet protection? "

Augustine replied:

"That's right.

The fleet protection does not need to be very strong.

Because just because of the identity of the empire, even if the regular army fleet of the United Government came, they would not dare to act easily.

If they did so, it would not be an internal dispute between the member states of the United Government, but a war between the two largest forces of mankind.

Even if those interstellar nobles had a hundred courage, they would not dare to act against our Black Gold Alliance. "

Everyone in the conference room heard this and thought it was a very good idea.

Especially for people like Ryan and Fu Yan who knew certain deep secrets.

In terms of dissecting alien creatures to produce star cores, their Aocheng Group dares to say that they are second, and no one dares to say that they are first.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Cheng made the decision and said:

"In that case, then please, Senior Augustine, contact the Interstellar Empire to see if they can meet our compensation needs."

"Okay."

Augustine agreed and prepared to go back to contact them, and everyone dispersed.

Augustine and Liu Cheng came to the former's office, and Augustine began to send a cross-star communication request.

Soon after, a military secretary connected the communication.

The holographic projection projected the upper body of a female secretary wearing an imperial military uniform. She was a beautiful blonde woman with a good figure.

When she saw Augustine, she recognized him and asked politely:

"Sir Augustine, do you agree to our request for help?"

Augustine nodded and said:

"I agree to go to the Interstellar Empire to help you dissect the star core, but I want to talk to your superior in person about the remuneration."

The female secretary smiled and said:

"The general is a little busy now. You can tell me your request first. As long as the change is not too exaggerated, I can make the decision."

Augustine denied:

"This matter involves the fleet's sailing. I'm afraid you can't make the decision. You should call your superior."

If an ordinary person said this, the female secretary would have turned off the communication and ignored it.

But the other party was Augustine after all, the record holder of the success rate of star core dissection among all mankind, so their general had to negotiate with him in person.

So the female secretary smiled and said:

"Okay, Mr. Augustine, please wait a moment, I will go and inform the general."

Augustine and Liu Cheng had nothing more urgent than this matter, so they just waited on the communication video.

After all, the other party was a general of the Interstellar Empire, and there were many things to deal with, so it was normal to wait a little longer.

After about half an hour, the holographic projection image on the video returned to normal again.

But this time it was not the beautiful female secretary who appeared, but a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a senior general of the empire, with a majestic temperament.

Although this person did not look as old as his father, Liu Cheng knew that the more powerful the superpowers were, the longer their lifespans were.

The weakest of these people were all level seven or eight superpowers, and their lifespans were almost a thousand years.

Since he already looked like a middle-aged man, the other party must be at least more than five hundred years old.

The other party didn't waste any words and immediately stated his identity:

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Augustine. My position is Lieutenant General of the Interstellar Empire, and I am also the person in charge of coordinating the alien biological dissectors this time.

I heard from the people below that you have some requirements for compensation. You might as well tell me."

Augustine said:

"No need for money for compensation. I am not very short of money now.

On the contrary, we are in the marginal star field of the United Government, bordering the star field controlled by the Terra Zerg.

I am also a strong man in our star field. If I leave for the Interstellar Empire, it will more or less affect the combat power of our star field.

Therefore, I want the military to send a fleet to help defend our star field as a reward for my dissecting of the star core for your Interstellar Empire.

What do you think, General?"

The general did not think that Augustine's request was too much, but explained:

"This matter involves the military deployment between the two countries, which is somewhat unreasonable.

Although Mr. Augustine has a very important position in the alien biological anatomist industry, we have invited quite a few anatomists this time.

Would you like to change your request? "

Augustine and Liu Cheng frowned slightly when they heard this, knowing that the other party did not want to send troops.

It's not that sending troops would have a big impact on the Interstellar Empire. The Interstellar Empire was founded on military power, and it doesn't lack their troops.

It's mainly a political issue between the two countries.

Liu Cheng nodded to Augustine, signaling him to increase the stakes.

Augustine signaled Liu Cheng to come over and appear with him in the holographic communication video.

Augustine took the initiative to introduce to the Lieutenant General of the Interstellar Empire:

"This is Tucheng, my partner, and the honorary president of the member country of the Black Gold Alliance where we are now.

The company we founded together is called Aocheng Group. You should have heard of it, right? "

The lieutenant general on the other side nodded upon hearing this. He was responsible for the coordination of the alien biological anatomists this time, and he must have understood the information in the industry.

Although the Aocheng Group is not one of the companies with the largest performance flow in the industry, and the number of tissues and organs it provides is not huge.

But it is known for being able to provide a large number of high-quality star core fragments.

As for the complete star core, it goes without saying that they keep it for their own use first and rarely sell it.

The Interstellar Empire Center showed a look of realization and said:

"Excuse me, it turns out to be Chairman Tucheng.

I have heard about your Aocheng Group.

It's just that I didn't associate it with Mr. Augustine before. I didn't expect that the Aocheng Group was actually your industry. "
