Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

Thus, in the suitable atmosphere created by the old lady, the Jiangchuan delegation on the ground was ready and arrived at the old lady's residence two days later.

The people who contacted them were former officials of the old dynasty whom the old lady had recently found, as well as the old emperor who was ready.

The old lady naturally appeared before everyone as a bridge. Although it couldn't be called a formal three-way meeting, the fact that everyone was gathered at least proved that they finally had the opportunity to sit down and have a proper discussion.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides got down to business.

"In fact, we have our own views on this kind of idea. I don't know how you all view these things now, but we believe that if we proceed according to these current needs, we will need more and more."

Sure enough, the topic took a turn not long after it began. The reason was simple: the old emperor genuinely craved unprecedented and powerful support from humanity.

"We can support you, but not everything has to be done our way. My point is clear: I'm here on orders from above to seek a proper solution. The most crucial question is: how will you exist on Earth in the future? For example, other civilizations are currently joining the Federation as nations; what are your thoughts on that?"

This probing began directly. The concept of the "Union" indeed surprised the old emperor.

What is the Federation?

Jiang Chuan had no choice but to seize the time and explain the Federation's purpose, founding date, and historical background from beginning to end.

The old lady was quite shocked after hearing this, never expecting that human wisdom could come up with such a solution at such a critical moment.

"Actually, we don't like such large-scale fighting either. Who wants to be at war all day long? Because the ultimate result of war is death. This is not good for any of us. But the problem is that sometimes some people can't control their desires. Think about it, is it appropriate to start a meaningless battle for one's own selfish desires and ultimately achieve ulterior motives?"

Everyone appeared quite calm. Indeed, many issues, before being explained, will inevitably cause numerous conflicts. However, it's difficult to predict what kind of impact such matters will have at this stage.

"It's alright, at least everyone has some feelings about it now. It would be good if we could really make it to the end. Anyway, on the main battlefield, my brother-in-law is seizing the time to lead his troops to fight the enemy. Most importantly, he can fight against the tyrant's entire air force with just his own army."

Therefore, Jiang Chuan had to explain the truth. Everyone was equally shocked upon hearing this; who would have thought the situation would turn out this way?

"Actually, their army is in a similar situation. But the key is that most of the old village chief's forces are warships, which are quite difficult to deal with."

In fact, everyone understands what's going on now. Jiang Chuan has also received a relevant data chart.

"Thank you very much, I will take this information back. But as a member of the Federation, I think it would be best if you joined. Moreover, if so, we would have a common ideology and be able to live in harmony. Our vision is not about one party invading another, but about hoping to coexist peacefully in this world."

Sure enough, this wise statement gave the old lady hope. But the key now is whether Jiang Chuan can maintain this stance.

This was the first exchange, and it can be said that this experience made the old emperor gradually realize that humans were indeed different from them.

"Alright, since you're new here today, I won't say much more. Let's all have a nice lunch together." Actually, the old lady had already prepared for this. At lunch, Jiang Chuan had never tasted such delicious food before. He thought about it carefully, and indeed, the first thing this place developed was its culinary culture.

Although the appearance of a certain person caused everyone some concern, everyone should recognize Jiang Chuan's abilities, so the old lady had been observing him.

Many things are similar at this stage. These delicacies are a real temptation for Jiang Chuan, but in order to maintain the image of a temporary diplomat, he remained extremely calm, only relaxing after returning to his lodgings in the evening.

"Oh my! I never expected their food to be so delicious. But we can't stay here every day just for the food. I think you should come up with some solutions right now. The key is that we can't stay here for too long."

For everyone involved, this was a critical moment. The accompanying personnel remained remarkably calm, as they recognized the region's perception of a respected nation, but its military strength was inherently weak.

"First of all, the civilization here is of great importance to everyone, and its culinary culture is equally outstanding. I think they should first determine the development path of this region in the future."

"What's most worrying is that there are still ambitious people around. Look at how many troops that tyrant is leading to fight us. If we take the old lady's words as an example, the old village chief still has a million-strong army. Once all these troops are exhausted, it's hard to say how many people will still be alive in this country."

"Yes, thousands of years of civilization have been destroyed in an instant, which is unbearable for anyone. Moreover, they now hope to restore their former glory, which is a contradiction."

……

The group chatted amongst themselves in the room, all knowing that this opportunity was extremely important to them. However, Jiang Chuan also understood that these people already had their own ideas, and whether they could be persuaded to follow their own will was still uncertain.

It was nighttime as well.

The old emperor went directly to the old lady's room. It was clear that the two of them were quite conflicted at the moment.

"I don't know what kind of organization this Human Federation is?"

"Are you unwilling to join this organization?"

"I only hope that humanity can help me regain my former status, and then everything will be as it was before. We will remain unknown and not interfere in their world affairs, and they will stop thinking about sending diplomats to us. I have absolutely no interest in these things."

This is the old emperor's current thought. He only hopes to return to the way things were before, where everyone could work peacefully and happily.

“Actually, everyone has this thought, but the problem is that we really can’t go back. You should understand that since the old man and I separated, this situation can never happen again. In these decades, what have we done that they don’t know about? Besides, now that a tyrant has appeared and you have been overthrown, they have been watching you for a long time. Even if you go into hiding in the future, they will not approve of it.”

The old emperor shook his head helplessly.

"The old village chief is truly hateful." (End of Chapter)
