Chapter 455 Cooperation Agreement
Macado!
This name means a clear character image for Qian Feiyan and others who understand the information of "Warhammer 40K".
Makhado, formerly known as Brahm al-Khadour.
People call him the Last Sealbearer, the Cursed Wanderer, and the Hero Malcador. During the Emperor's reign, he served as the Regent of Terra, Minister of State, and Chairman of the Terran Council.
Not only that, Malcador was also the founder of the Inquisition and the first Grand Master of the Assassins.
His position in the Imperium of Man is of great importance, and because he has the trust of the Emperor himself, he is almost as powerful as one man and more than ten thousand. Not even the Primarchs can compare with him.
In modern society, he is equivalent to the prime minister or prime minister in a constitutional monarchy. In the name of the monarch, he acts as the de facto head of government, performs relevant functions, and manages the entire human empire.
The only difference is that the Emperor is not a mascot without real power, but has other more important things to be busy with.
However, because Malcador's status in the empire was too high and he could even issue orders to the Primarchs in the name of the Emperor, the Primarchs disliked him very much.
But it didn't matter to Malcador, as long as the Emperor liked him.
"Guests from afar, the Emperor has other things to deal with now. As the Minister of Government, I will work out a cooperation treaty with you in the next time that is satisfactory to both parties."
"Please follow me, everyone."
Malcador appeared from the air.
In addition to being an excellent politician, Malcador was also a powerful psychic. He had been listening secretly when the emperor was talking to Qian Feiyan and others.
Of course, this was with the Emperor's permission.
Malcador led Qian Feiyan and others towards the outside of the palace. When he was about to leave the palace, the emperor's voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.
"Makado, make a deal as soon as possible."
The four subspace gods are slow, not dead.
Many people now know that humans from outside the galaxy came to Terra with navigation technology that has nothing to do with the warp.
In order to maintain their own power, the four gods of subspace will never allow humans to easily sever their connection with the subspace, which means that they will find ways to undermine the cooperation between the human empire and humans outside the galaxy.
Changes may come at any time, and they must seize the opportunity.
Malcador nodded imperceptibly.
"If you can finish it in one day, don't wait until the next day. If you can finish it in one hour, don't wait until one hour and one minute. Do you understand?"
Malcador was startled.
Is the situation so serious that even adding or subtracting one minute is worthy of the Emperor's special emphasis?
【Yes, I understand】
He responded to the Emperor inwardly, wordlessly though he believed the Emperor could hear.
The cooperation agreement was completed so smoothly that Qian Feiyan and others felt that the emperor had no intention of fulfilling the terms of the agreement.
Malcador, on behalf of the Human Empire, agreed to the coalition government's study of any relic of the Golden Age held by the Human Empire - this alone is incredible enough.
Although the glory of the Golden Age has gone far away, there are many relics of the Golden Age in the human empire.
Many of them were dangerous things that posed a major security threat to the entire galaxy. The Emperor sealed these things in warehouses, preparing to never see the light of day again.
But Machado agreed to take these things out for the coalition government to study.
"The negotiation went so smoothly. Malcador refused almost anything. He just restricted the number of relics we could borrow at the same time to no more than fifteen, including no more than one high-risk relic."
"He also promised to let us choose ten STCs ourselves. Isn't he afraid that the Adeptus Mechanicus on Mars will fight against him?"
"For the first time, I felt uneasy because the negotiations went so smoothly. To be honest, I felt that Malcador had no intention of fulfilling these agreements at all. This agreement may only be valid until the moment we hand over the navigation technology to them."
"No, I think it's until the moment they prove the technology is successful."
Diplomats in the coalition government felt very strange.
The entire negotiation process lasted only twenty-nine minutes, and the coalition government got everything it wanted at the negotiating table.
If I had to say there was anything bad about it, it was that Machado was in a hurry.
Malcador demanded that the negotiations be concluded in the shortest possible time, and that the coalition government hand over the technology in the shortest possible time, on the grounds that the Four Subspace Gods might intervene to block their deal at any time.
The reason is quite tenable, but the conditions offered by Machado are still too generous.
Qian Feiyan said calmly: "Fifteen relics and ten STC modules, this is what Markado is really willing to give us. As for whether we will continue to fulfill the agreement in the future, I am afraid it depends on our strength."
There are many things written in the agreement, but what the coalition government can get immediately is fifteen relics and ten STC modules.
According to the agreement, after obtaining these, the coalition government will hand over the interstellar navigation technology to the human empire.
Theoretically speaking, only by holding back the Human Empire and delaying the transfer of technology can the value of this agreement be maximized.
But the basis for the existence of this agreement is that the coalition government will transfer technology to the human empire in the shortest possible time.
Before that, both the coalition government and the human empire need to fulfill their agreements, and neither side has much room for maneuver before that.
But after this.
If the coalition government can demonstrate the strength to frighten the Human Empire, the Human Empire will naturally continue to fulfill the agreement.
But if the coalition government cannot show sufficient strength and the human empire is temporarily freed from the threat of subspace, the previous agreement will become a piece of waste paper.
Anyway, from the secret conversation to the conclusion of cooperation, there were only two people, the Emperor and Malcador.
As long as they deny that they ever reached an agreement with the coalition government, no one will believe that that seemingly unbelievable agreement ever existed.
Thinking about it carefully at this time, Qian Feiyan felt that Macado agreed to their conditions without hesitation during the negotiation, as if he was preparing for betrayal in the future.
You see, this agreement is so outrageous, how could I, Malcador, sign it? Even if I did, the Emperor wouldn’t be able to sign it!
What! Do you think this is tacitly approved by the Emperor?
Someone is coming!
Catch this disloyal blasphemer!
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the coalition government selected fifteen relics and ten STC modules. Among the high-risk relics, a hateful intelligent host from the golden age was chosen.
This abominable intelligence originally belonged to a Golden Age cargo ship.
The cargo ship was attacked, but it narrowly escaped and floated in space for an unknown amount of time before being discovered by the Imperial Navy.
Its ability is to rewind time on a massive scale.
The reason why the Emperor did not install this hateful intelligence on his flagship was partly because it was a hateful intelligence, but also because this hateful intelligence did not listen to him.
This human, who hated intelligence and disliked the Emperor, had too few genes and refused to communicate with the Emperor. (End of chapter)
