The Lord of Ashes

"I also support Master Thain's plan to complete the two Dominator-class spaceship groups!" Thain had just finished explaining his decision to the federal senior officials. Hewson, the president of the Icarus Conglomerate, who had been following Thain, followed suit. He immediately agreed.

Compared with other senior federal officials, Hewson only helped Thain to manage the Icarus Conglomerate instead, and the most important economic power of the entire conglomerate has always been managed by Wojin, the goddess of wealth under Thain.

This Hewson is just a person who is apparently in charge of things.

Therefore, he is not considered a real high-ranking member of the Gallente Federation, and can only be said to be barely included in this circle.

The senior federal officials discussing the issue with Thain at this time were either members of parliament, marshals of the military, or the directors behind several other large federal military-industrial conglomerates.

Hewson mentioned to Thain before that if he wanted to obtain the stellar fortress manufacturing technology of several other heavy industry groups, he would basically poach the corners of the other two federal senior officials present.

In addition to this, there is even a federal vice-president who comes on behalf of federal president Joe Nash.

Thain's relationship with the mustachioed president has always been good.

After the end of the Gallente Federation War, the wizarding civilization has always had a good sense of Jonash. It not only protected him from many assassinations, but also allowed him to sit in the position of president for such a long time.

As a result, the Gallente Federation's presidential election regulations and the number of presidential terms stipulated in the constitution are a joke in front of the top leaders of the wizarding civilization.

The wizarding civilization thinks that Jonash is a good person, so he can stay on the throne of the president.

If you feel that he is not good enough, substitution is a matter of minutes.

Considering that the demon tide crisis is just around the corner, the wizarding civilization does not have any extra energy to promote a new president on the federation's side.

Since Jonash has done a good job, let him continue to do so.

When Hewson, the president of the Icarus chaebol, echoed the decision of Thain, the big boss behind the scenes, the middle-aged fat man did not realize that he had already caused the displeasure of many other real senior federal officials present.

It’s not just that Hewson’s status is not high enough and he is not qualified to speak at this level of dialogue.

It was even more because he affected the interests of other high-level federal officials present.

Maybe Hewson noticed it himself, but he didn't care at all.

He doesn't need to offend the so-called real high-level officials of the federation at all.

To put it bluntly, he is just a "part-timer", working for Thain.

Naturally, you have to consider your boss in every aspect.

Even if Hewson provokes other federal leaders, what can he do?

As long as Thain still appreciates and trusts him, no one can knock him out of his position as president.

Even if Thain is well served, it will not be difficult for Thain to give him greater authority in the future, and even help him enter federal politics, have a seat as a member of the parliament, and become a true high-level leader in the so-called federation.

Hewson, who was speaking in front of everyone at this time, did not show that he was thinking about such far-reaching things.

He was still talking about things.

Hewson said: "Master Thain, I strongly agree with your plan to complete the two Dominator-class spaceship groups."

"As an industry under your name, Grandmaster, we, the Icarus Zaibatsu, will definitely fully support Master in your space fleet replenishment work during this process."

"It's not even just spaceships. I think it would be too monotonous for a Dominator-class spaceship group to only have various types of warships."

"From all the types of robot legions produced by our Icarus Zaibatsu, I will select the ones with the highest quality and combat capabilities and add them to your combat cluster, Master."

"Not only that, because our Icarus Zaibatsu has also been involved in fields such as drones, large mechas, and space fortresses in recent years."

"I think the military power of these models should also be added to your mechanical combat group."

"Not to mention those drones, but the operators of the large mechas, including 24 high-level mecha pilots with the rank of major general or above, have just returned from training in the Rose Dynasty civilization in the Wizards Alliance, and have received training from the Rose Dynasty. Teaching and training of civilization’s most elite mecha pilots.”

"Those 24 mecha pilots, and the 12 high-level mechas above level four that they are equipped with, will later be ordered by the chaebol to be incorporated into the battle sequence of your two dominator-level fleet groups."

"Including the three planet-level cosmic fortresses that are being built. It is estimated that after your battleship cluster is replenished, master, these cosmic fortresses should also leave the factory and complete testing." Hewson said to Thain in public.

Thain then nodded with satisfaction and replied: "Not bad."

Hewson is indeed a qualified loser.

He expressed his loyalty to Thain, and even if the other federal executives present were a little dissatisfied with him in their hearts, at least on the surface, they had to smile and agree with Thain, with such a loyal and capable worker.

Hewson's statement to Thain can actually be seen as an extension of his previous disclosure to Thain of the group's chaebol's future development intentions.

Thain pondered for a moment and said to the other federal leaders around him: "At the current crisis of the Demon Tide, we should do our best to survive this crisis."

"Now that Ms. Bev has issued the corresponding mission order, I ask you to pay more attention to the maintenance and expansion of my two Dominator-class spaceship groups." Thain said to other federal senior officials present.

All the senior federal officials in front of Thain naturally agreed at this time.

They couldn't even disobey Thane, so how dare they disobey Ms. Bev's direct order to the Gallente Federation?

"Actually, no matter where these Dominator-class ships are added to in the end, they will enhance the power of our wizard civilization." Thain said calmly.

"Yes, yes..." Many federal senior officials agreed.

Soon, a federal executive who was very knowledgeable about troubles took the initiative and said: "The Dodge Conglomerate, which holds shares under my name, has extremely rich experience in the construction of planet-level cosmic fortresses. Perhaps it can help you, Master Thain." , detecting the three planetary fortresses that the Ikaros Zaibatsu will soon produce.”

"Including the stellar-level cosmic fortress...the addition and strengthening of some main power units and offensive weapons. Our chaebol may be able to cooperate with your Icarus chaebol in certain fields." The federal executive said.

Just as the federal executive finished speaking, another federal executive also proposed some cooperation with the Icarus Zaibatsu in the field of giant mecha manufacturing.

The marshal from the military expressed his position even more directly.

He said that he could temporarily lend two hundred mecha pilots with the rank of Brigadier General to the Icarus Zaibatsu to help Thane replenish the firepower equipment of his two Dominator-class battleship groups.

People from the military are more direct and not so frivolous.

Since it was the order of the wizard civilization, they naturally had nothing to sway.

The statements made by the top executives of other federal heavy industry conglomerates are also interesting. They did not mention what kind of technology and support they gave to the Icarus conglomerate under Thain's name, but only talked about "cooperation".

There are many ways to cooperate.

Anyway, if Thane and the Icarus Zaibatsu want to get something, they must first consider what they have to pay.

Whether it's favors, resources, magic coins, etc.

Seeing that the discussions around him were becoming more and more heated, Hewson, who had previously made a big splash and talked about his views in front of senior executives, now became extremely low-key and was not noticed.

No one knew, but Hewson himself felt deeply relieved at this moment.

The two Dominator-class spaceship groups under his command will be presented in a more complete, powerful, and multi-armed form in the subsequent construction.

A big piece of the big thing on Thain's mind was relieved.

This marks that Thain's personal strength has expanded a lot.

After handling the expansion and repair matters of the two Dominator-class spaceship groups, Thane mentioned casually: "The 27th Wizards Alliance Conference is about to be held. I wonder if your civilization has any plans?"

The fact that the Wizarding World is about to hold the 27th Wizards Alliance Conference is currently only being circulated among some high-level circles, and no announcement has been made to the entire civilization and the entire alliance.

Some well-informed people already knew about it, but among the senior Gallente Federation officials surrounding Thane, there were obviously a few who didn't know about it.

When Thain mentioned this matter, their expressions changed greatly.

In the end, it was the federal vice president who reacted first.

He should be one of the insiders who knew in advance.

Faced with Thain taking the initiative to talk about this matter at this moment, the Vice President couldn't help but ask: "Master Thain, do you have any suggestions for the upcoming 27th Wizards Alliance Conference and for our Gallente Federation?"

Thain smiled and replied: "I can't talk about suggestions, but there is something I can remind you."

"There are some things you want to do, and you have to do them quickly."

"If you miss this opportunity, I don't know when the next one will be." Thain said meaningfully.

The federal vice president's face then showed a look of understanding. He understood Thain's words, then he thanked him and nodded.

"I will take this up with the president and his staff," the vice president said.

The opportunity for the Federation mentioned by Thane was actually an opportunity for them to join the Wizards Alliance.

At the last Wizards Alliance Conference, the Gallente Federation failed to join the Wizards Alliance.

But this time, it is indeed their most promising time.

As long as the top leaders of the federation are not stupid, they should not miss this opportunity.

Of course, in order to join the Wizards Alliance and reduce the constraints and doubts from the top leaders of other wizard civilizations during the alliance conference.

These top federal officials will definitely have to pay some price for this.
