Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1649 The Way to Death
"This is the situation. The Prometheus Corps said that they are willing to cooperate, but the price they asked is a bit high. I can't make the decision myself, so I came back." After Carolan arrived at Granton's mansion, he was taken to a secret room by the butler and explained to Granton the negotiation process and results between him and the Prometheus Corps.

"What price do they want?" Grundon's face was a little unhappy, not to Carolan, but to the Promise Legion. In his opinion, agreeing to cooperate was a sign of weakness, which meant that the Promise Legion was not that great, which made him even more conceited.

"The King's Seat, the Grandit."

"Impossible." Grundon refused without wasting any time to think. "The throne machine is the symbol of Free and also the most powerful force. The throne machine is handed over to them. Free is just a piece of meat. They can do whatever they want with it."

There is another very important reason why Granton is unwilling to hand over the royal machine [Grandit]. It is because he values ​​his status and bloodline that he is unwilling to give up the royal machine [Grandit]. When he marries the queen and can activate [Grandit], doesn't this prove that his bloodline is as high as that of the royal family?
"This is the only requirement of the other party. If you don't agree, then we will not agree to cooperate." Carolan deliberately frowned and said to Granton. Although Carolan was not a very powerful intelligence officer, he had maxed out his acting skills.

"Hmph! It doesn't matter if they refuse to cooperate. As long as I get [Grandite], they won't be a problem to worry about." Granton snorted coldly.

"It's better not to be too conceited." Carolan frowned and reminded Grundon, "As far as I know, the Promise Corps has many powerful weapons, such as super bombs that can devour a planet and heavy gamma ray cannons that can kill all living things in an instant. If the opponent really intends to use force, it will not work just relying on [Grandito]."

"Hmm..." After hearing Carolan's reminder, Glendon took back a little bit of the arrogance that had just been aroused, and at the same time he felt more at ease with Carolan.

Carolan is an extreme realist, and she and Gulenton are not in a superior-subordinate relationship. So when some of Gulenton's actions threaten Carolan's interests, Carolan will naturally not remain silent. So it is normal to remind him. If Carolan did not remind him in this situation, but directly accepted his opinion, then there would be a real problem.

"Then how do you think the other party can make concessions?"

"It's very simple." Carolan spread his hands and told Granton his opinion, "The other party wants the throne machine for two things, the complete version of the [Ogon Extractor] and the complete version of the Time Stop Device. The other things are of little use to them."

"You know this is impossible." Although Granton attaches more importance to the symbolic significance of [Grandit], it does not mean that he would be stupid enough to ignore the strategic value of [Grandit]. The complete version of [Ogon Extractor] and the complete version of the time-stop device are the top secrets of Free. Even if he is the general agent of the Knights, he cannot know the detailed information. He originally planned to study [Grandit] carefully after getting it, study the [Ogon Extractor] and the complete version of the time-stop device thoroughly, and then produce as much as possible, and then occupy the earth, and even destroy the Promise Legion and take the Promise Legion's technology for himself.

As a result, how could he possibly give these two things to the Promise Corps? They were his important support for dominating the universe in the future.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Carolan said helplessly. If you can't meet any of the other party's conditions, how can the other party agree to cooperate with you?

"How about this? Promise them first that after I get Grandit, I will give them one of the items first. We also need to add some price. Aren't they almost taking over the Earth now? Give us half, and I will give them the remaining item."

The combination of the [Ogon Extractor] and the complete version of the time-stopping device can exert the most powerful power. If only one of them is used, it is not that valuable. The [Ogon Extractor] is nothing more than a special energy source with huge energy, but the Promise Corps is not without it. The time-stopping device has greater limitations and the energy required is completely incalculable. Moreover, the time-stopping device is very special. At present, no time-stopping device has been found to use energy other than the [Ogon Extractor]. Therefore, Grundon is confident that even the Promise Corps' technology cannot exert the full power of the time-stopping device. "It is unlikely. After all, the initiative is in the hands of the other party." Carolan said to Grundon after a little thought.

"Humph, what initiative? I have the initiative. As long as I can capture the queen and obtain [Grandito], the Promise Legion will not be a problem!"

"... Don't you forget what I just said?" Carolan's face was not looking good. What did he just say, did Grandon forget everything? Even if [Grandito] could gain an absolute advantage in the local battlefield with the time-stopping device, what about the fleet? What about the beyond-visual-range strike?
If the opponent directly sent a Genesis towards Free's position, how long could you stop time? How would you intercept it during the time stop? There was no way to stop that kind of pure destructive energy.

"Of course I remember!" Although Grundon understood the relationship between himself and Carolan, it did not mean that he would always endure Carolan's lectures. "Don't worry, as long as I have [Grandito], I can break into the Promise Legion. Not to mention killing them, it should be no problem to capture a group of high-ranking officials, right? And... I heard you say that Commander-in-Chief Yang Hui is a sentimental man. He has many wives, right?"

"Let's talk about it after you get [Grandito]." Carolan's face was a little cold, perhaps influenced by Cruze. When he heard that Grandon was going to attack Yang Hui and the people around Yang Hui, nameless anger burned in his chest.

"You'll see. The plan can begin. Get rid of Dania."

"Don't worry, I will fulfill my duty, but you'd better keep your promise, otherwise... I can get rid of you the same way I got rid of Dania."

In the end, the secret conversation ended in an unpleasant atmosphere, and Carolan immediately left Granton's mansion.

On the other side, in the palace, Cruze also called Shanamia, Orlando Ziyun, Dania Gad and Fulu Monroe to watch the live broadcast of the negotiation between Granton and Carolan together.

Everything was fine at the beginning. Shanamia and others felt cold all over, but Cruze always maintained an elegant contempt. But when Granton talked about taking action against Yang Hui and the people around Yang Hui, the corners of his mouth rose a little bit, becoming even more terrifying and colder, making Shanamia and others couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Mr. Cruze..."

"Sir Shanamia, I have one more thing to add. I want this Grundon."
