Chapter 425 Agreeing to the Proposal
After everyone had discussed for a while, Commander Chen Guoqiang signaled for everyone to quiet down and then said, "Before we discuss whether or not to agree to this alien alliance's proposal, let's first ask Miss Cecily, the representative of the space fleet, to introduce the space star destroyer cannon, and then we can discuss the next issue."
Cecily stood up and said seriously, "Gentlemen, this cosmic planet-destroying cannon is an energy beam weapon, and it is extremely large. According to Earth's units of measurement, the cannon barrel alone is 15 kilometers long, and the caliber is 1 kilometer. As for its power, although I have never seen it, some of our space fleet's home planets have been attacked by the planet-destroying cannon. Based on their descriptions, we calculated that if this weapon were to actually attack Earth, one shot could destroy a quarter of China's area."
Hearing that the planet-destroying cannon was so terrifying, everyone was astonished. Immediately, someone asked, "Then, Miss Cecily, do you know the location of this planet-destroying cannon? Can we try to send someone to destroy it first? With such a terrifying weapon above our heads, even if we agree to their proposal, even if we can defeat them in the end, we can only live in constant fear."
Cecily shook her head with a wry smile: "No, this weapon is their top secret, and we don't know its location. We suspect that this weapon is usually hidden in a special dimensional space and is only taken out when it is needed. In addition, as far as we know, the planet-destroying cannon needs 200 hours to gather energy once, and after firing, it must wait 10 hours before it can gather energy again."
After Cecily finished speaking, Commander Chen Guoqiang said, "Thank you for your explanation, Miss Cecily. That concludes the intelligence on the Star Destroyer Cannon. Now we will discuss whether or not to agree to their proposal. Everyone can speak freely."
General Aizimaiti, Commander of the Northwest Theater Command, stood up and said solemnly, “As everyone knows, we achieved very good results in our previous battles. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was a turning point in our fight against the alien coalition. Now that they have made such a proposal to Earth, it proves that they have indeed suffered considerable losses and their strength has begun to decline. Therefore, I am not in favor of talking to them. Another reason is that those alien coalition members are all powerful beings who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, while Earth has only lived for less than three years. In a real fight, we may not be able to win.”
Ding Hai then stood up and said, “I agree with some of General Aizimaiti’s opinions, but I suggest we give it a try. Please note that this electronic message refers to seven of the strongest individuals on Earth. As far as I know, there are many other strong individuals besides those from China. If we win, we will have an opportunity for equal dialogue. Even if we lose, I don’t think it will make much of a difference. They will attack us whether we reject the proposal or lose the duel. Besides, there’s the so-called Interstellar Alliance acting as a witness. I really think we should give it a try.”
Ding Hai's statement garnered considerable support, including from Li Chenglong, Shangguan Jingyun, Sun Tianlong, and Dongfang Yunbing. Erica further explained the Interstellar Alliance, revealing it to be an alliance comprised of all second-tier civilizations in the Milky Way, somewhat similar to the United Nations on Earth. Its members were representatives from these planets; for example, Elder Lena of Hailan Star was one of them.
The primary responsibility of the Interstellar Alliance is to mediate conflicts between planets and quell wars. Therefore, if the Interstellar Alliance were to intervene, it would be quite effective. If the alien coalition were to renege on its promises, the Interstellar Alliance might even send troops to punish them.
After two hours of discussion, everyone unanimously agreed that both China and the New Human Empire would accept the alien coalition's proposal. Commander Chen Guoqiang nodded, "Good, now that we have a unified opinion, I can confidently attend the international conference tomorrow. I hereby declare the meeting adjourned. You may all leave to eat and rest; those from Dawn City, please wait."
After everyone had left, Chen Guoqiang, Zhao Wannian, Fu Sen, Yao Fang, and other leaders gathered the five people from Dawn City together. Commander Chen Guoqiang said with a smile, "Tomorrow, I will be escorted by more than a dozen Tyrannosaurus Rex fighter jets and will be traveling to Country A on a passenger plane purchased from your Dawn City to attend an international conference to discuss the proposal regarding this alien coalition. Since the aliens have limited time, I estimate that the results will be available soon. If we are selecting contestants at that time, I would like to recommend you, Li Chenglong, to participate. What do you think?"
Li Chenglong stood at attention and saluted: "I am willing to participate in this interstellar competition and contribute my strength to the peace of China and even the world." General Chen Guoqiang said with satisfaction: "Good, with your words, I am even more confident."
After leaving the conference hall, everyone headed towards their temporary accommodations for the conference. Yunlan asked with a smile, "Do you think the international conference tomorrow will agree to the alien coalition's proposal? If so, which other countries will send to fight?"
Li Chenglong, standing nearby, pondered for a moment: "I feel they will agree. Just like Ding Hai said today, according to what the alien alliance said, we are basically in a position where we have no choice but to agree. As for the participants, since there are only 7 people, I think the general list should be me, Emperor Zhao Wuji of the New Human Empire, Syndra, leader of the European Dark Alliance, Henry, the first of the 12 knights of the European Human Alliance, Smith, the strongest in Country A, Andrei, the strongest in Country E, and the last one should be Miss Cecily."
Zheng Yong, standing beside him, nodded: "These seven people are all level 13 powerhouses. If the representatives of the international conference are considering all of humanity, then Li Chenglong's list is probably the most suitable." As the three of them walked, they saw Erica and Cecily standing there, chatting about something.
Seeing Li Chenglong, Yun Lan, and Zheng Yong approach, Erica smiled and said, "Lord Li, I have to congratulate you! Yun Hao is pregnant... Waaah!" Before she could finish, Yun Lan covered her mouth. Then everyone saw Yun Lan pull her aside and whisper something to her.
After the two women arrived, Li Chenglong asked, somewhat puzzled, "Miss Erica, what were you congratulating me about?" Miss Erica paused slightly before smiling and saying, "I was congratulating you on how well Li Yunhao is developing. Both his physical and intellectual development far surpasses the level of a normal person of the same age on Earth." Alice then flew out from Erica's body and added, "Yes, yes, that little guy is so smart. I taught him a little Meral language yesterday, and he learned it in a very short time."
Upon hearing this news, Li Chenglong said, "This is all thanks to Yunlan's excellent upbringing and Su Qian's meticulous care. It's getting late, let's go have lunch, I'm a little hungry, to be honest."
That afternoon, they returned to Dawn City aboard the X2 airship. Some decided to stay in Dawn City to inspect some businesses and sign some commercial contracts. Others were transported to their respective bases by the X2 airship.
The following day at noon, Li Chenglong received a message from Han Fei, the secretary of Commander Chen Guoqiang, who was in Country A. Han Fei stated that although the participating countries had engaged in heated discussions, they ultimately decided to agree to the proposal with the aliens. As for the list of the seven participants in the Interstellar Martial Arts Tournament, it was basically as Li Chenglong had estimated, but Miss Cecily was not on it. The seventh person was a Level 13 warrior who had fled from Country R to Country A.
As for why it wasn't Miss Cecily, it was because of President Trump of Country A. He claimed that no one knew more about aliens than himself, and that those aliens were incredibly cunning and therefore not worth believing. Thus, under his influence, the group, by majority vote, agreed to the inclusion of the warrior from Country R.
