Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

No one paid any attention to Momo's complaints. Soon, a shrill voice came from Charles's phone.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Gao Hai, currently the Consul General of the Chinese Federation in Japan. I wonder what business Your Majesty the Emperor of Britannia has with a eunuch like me? I am but a humble eunuch, though I am still a person of some influence throughout the Chinese Federation."

Before even seeing him, Mo Mo heard his voice. Listening to those flattering words, he could already foresee what kind of person Gao Hai was.

The other party was the emperor of Britannia. Although a eunuch was required to show respect to the other party, Gao Hai's attitude was almost as if he were treating the other party as his own emperor.

Or perhaps this was the true intention of powerful eunuchs like Gao Hai. For them, it didn't matter who their master was; what mattered was ensuring their own wealth and status. They were willing to betray not only the emperor but even the entire country.

"By the way, I have also witnessed the powerful army of Britannia. As the Consul General of the Chinese Federation in Japan, I am fortunate to have witnessed the strength of Britannia. When I return, I will definitely convey this to my colleagues. Your Majesty's majesty is truly awe-inspiring."

Faced with Gao Hai's flattery, even Charles's mood improved considerably, which made him realize that the eunuch system of the Chinese Federation indeed had its reasons for existence.

"No need for further explanation. There is a person here; you only need to state his identity. After Britannia occupies Japan, it will be renamed Area 11. During this process, as the ambassador of the Chinese Federation, Britannia will protect your safety in accordance with international conventions."

Upon hearing this, Gao Hai grinned and said, "No problem, no problem. Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty. If there's anything I can do, I'll do it immediately."

Gao Hai had no intention of directly obtaining any benefits from the Emperor of Britannia. Being able to ensure his safety in war-torn Japan was already a fortunate thing.

After Charles finished speaking, he threw the phone to Momo, who caught it casually and saw Gao Hai's dead face covered in powder on the screen.

"what!"

After adjusting the phone's orientation, Gao Hai, who was on a video call, naturally saw Mo Mo's face, Mo Mo's typical Eastern face.

"You are……"

"Yui, initiate a remote transaction."

"I understand, Dad!"

Yui quickly initiated the trade, upgrading her Momo Trade Authority to LV6, enabling remote trading.

Remote trading: As long as you can contact the other party, you can ignore the distance and conduct remote trading directly. The items traded can also be transferred directly across distances.

This was an additional skill that Momo had been eyeing for a long time. After missing it twice, he finally succeeded in obtaining it thanks to his good luck (A).

Unlike Momo's previous face-to-face transactions, from now on, Momo can conduct transactions directly as long as she can contact the other party.

“Use three years… no, one year, one year of life force to trade with him. No, don’t use life force anymore, trading life force with him feels like a disgrace.”

"Tell him to confirm that I am a Qilin, the guardian of the Chinese Federation, and then throw him ten kilograms of gold as a gift."

"Dad, it's all my fault. If only I had been more careful..."

"Alright, Yui, isn't everything resolved now?"

Although Gao Hai on the other side wielded great power, he was a relatively young figure among the powerful eunuchs. To reach such a position at such a young age, he must have had his own methods.

At the same time, being relegated to the position of consul general in Japan meant he was being marginalized; after all, such a young and ambitious eunuch was never favored by the older generation. To return to the Chinese Federation, and to Luoyang, the center of power within the Federation, he would inevitably need a large sum of money to pave the way.

The transaction request was sent out, and as expected, Gao Hai agreed without even a second thought.

Then, amidst a slight smile on Mo Mo's lips, Gao Hai's shrill shout came from the phone.

"Lord Qilin!"

Upon hearing this, Charles and VV on the other side exchanged a glance, already understanding what was going on.

"Lord Qilin!" Gao Hai's performance continued. Although exaggerated, it seemed that such an exaggerated tone was in line with people's image of a eunuch.

"Lord Qilin," Gao Hai said, repeating the name three times as if emphasizing that Mo Mo was indeed a Qilin, before continuing, "Lord Qilin, what are you doing with His Majesty the Emperor of Britannia? I had no idea you were going to visit Britannia. Those damned old bastards kept such an important matter from me. They've really gone mad. Do they even consider me one of the Grand Eunuchs anymore?"

Seeing Gao Hai jumping up and down in a frenzy on the other end, Mo Mo shrugged and tossed the phone back to Charles. Charles hung up the call without a second thought, refusing to listen to Gao Hai's annoying, high-pitched voice.

"It seems my identity has been verified. So, can we start negotiating now?"

Charles nodded and said, "Interesting. Can you represent the Chinese Federation? If you can, I don't mind negotiating the future of the Chinese Federation with you."

“In that case,” Mo Mo grinned, thinking that it was probably the right thing to do at this moment to plagiarize the great ideas of a great man.

"As a peace-loving nation, the Chinese Federation has decided to sign the following agreement with Britannia. In this way, we believe that both of our great empires can get what they need without having to fight unnecessary battles."

"I believe this suggestion aligns with your wishes, doesn't it?"

As he spoke, Mo Mo reached out and took out the documents that Yui had just prepared.

The title of the document features several large, typical Chinese red characters.

The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.

021 Getting something for nothing

In Mo Mo's previous life, there was a country called the Celestial Dynasty, which produced a great man surnamed Zhou who proposed diplomatic principles that were renowned throughout the world.

The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.

The original five principles were mutual respect for territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference in internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. Later, the wording was revised to: mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference in internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.

At that time, the Celestial Empire had just been liberated and was beset by internal and external troubles. As the saying goes, a weak nation has no diplomacy. It was extremely difficult for the new Celestial Empire to carry out diplomatic work when it was beset by internal and external troubles and even its national name was not recognized.

The biggest challenge is finding a way and a tone that can ensure the newly established Celestial Empire can conduct diplomatic work with other countries with dignity and respect, while at the same time not damaging the already fragile diplomatic relations between the Celestial Empire and other countries.

Simply put, it's about how to avoid losing face, not upsetting others, and still get everyone to sit down politely and discuss how to make a little money.

Thus, the great man surnamed Zhou created and proposed the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. In modern terms, these five principles can be understood as follows: We agree on the boundaries, and then you don't attack me or interfere with me, and I won't attack you or interfere with you either. We sit down and chat peacefully, discussing how to make some money from the clutches of imperialism.

Such a policy not only occupied the moral high ground, but was also loved by other countries that, like the new China, faced the indifference of imperialism, and successfully opened up new prospects for China's diplomatic endeavors.

Momo is a businessman, and his understanding of politics and the workings of a nation is limited to a superficial knowledge. Therefore, Momo certainly wouldn't interfere in the operation of the entire country at will. However, with powerful figures as his backers, Momo can still wield considerable influence and experience the thrill of being a political elite in this rebellious world of Code Geass.

Sure enough, Charles was a discerning man; his expression subtly changed after seeing the agreement proposed by Momer.

Charles, as the world's strongest man, is probably one of the most powerful emperors in the history of Code Geass. Under his rule, Britannia developed from almost nothing into the world's strongest nation, with a strong tendency to unify the world.

Despite Charles Geass's assistance, his talent is undeniably world-class. His theory of the survival of the fittest, though despised by all other nations, has allowed Britannia, transformed into a ferocious beast, to gradually erode the world.

Those in the world who reject Britannia's theory of the survival of the fittest, such as the EU and the Chinese Federation, would probably be astonished if they knew that Charles's unification of the world was merely a step in his ideals!

Therefore, upon looking at the document, Charles instantly understood its significance. If this document became the mainstream of world diplomacy, then Britannia's conquest policy would inevitably face even greater obstacles.

After all, although this document does not explicitly state it, it is not merely a useless piece of paper that promotes hypocrisy and false morality, but rather a true compass for establishing a behavioral order among nations.

"Charles, let me see!"

VV took the file, glanced at it briefly, and then tore it into pieces.

"Are you kidding me, Chinese Federation people? Do you think that signing this meaningless document will guarantee the safety of your Chinese Federation?"

Instead of Charles remaining silent, VV took the initiative to play the bad cop.

VV wore a mocking smile, while Momo's smile remained unchanged. He said, "Of course not. Maintaining the security of a nation ultimately relies on the strength of the entire country, not any agreement. However, although Britannia is currently powerful and has the potential to continue conquering the world, but..."

Momo struck a pose reminiscent of Commander Ikari, and if one disregarded the fact that Momo was only wearing boxer shorts, he might indeed possess eight or nine tenths of Commander Ikari's imposing presence.

"Is Britannia truly prepared to launch operations simultaneously with the EU and the Chinese Federation?"

VV's face darkened, and he said, "Who do you think you are, that you can so easily persuade the EU to join the war? Let alone the EU, it's still unknown how much weight your words carry within the Chinese Federation."

Faced with VV's rebuttal, Momo stopped talking and instead smiled and remained silent. Sometimes silence is the best weapon to fight back.

Britannia as it is now is different from what it is seven years later when the story officially begins.

At this point, the world had been divided into three major parts.

Britannia occupies the entire Americas, the EU occupies the entire Europe and Africa, as well as half of Siberia near the Arctic Ocean, while the remaining Asian part is all the territory of the Chinese Federation, making it a true tripartite balance of power.

If Charles and VV want to continue their ideals, the war must continue. Although there are no ruins of the gods within the territory of the Chinese Federation, there are several ruins within the territory of the EU.

At this time, Knightmare had only recently entered mass production and use. When Britannia attacked Japan, they used the fourth-generation Knightmare Glasgow. Compared to the various next-generation Knightmare that would later fly, burrow underground, and destroy everything in one shot, the Knightmare at this time was more of a highly mobile close-combat humanoid weapon.

Only after Knightmare's technology continued to advance and they were deployed on a larger scale in Britannia did Knightmare achieve overwhelming superiority over traditional combat equipment, leading to a change in the entire combat paradigm of the world.

Simply put, at this point, Britannia had only mastered the core technology, but had not yet fully transformed it into a powerful fighting force.

This is also one of Momo's trump cards in the negotiations.

The reason why the Chinese Federation and Britannia did not go to war until the very end in the original work was not only because there were no divine relics in the Chinese Federation and the Chinese Federation's eunuch group was weak and compromising, but also because Britannia did not want to provoke the Chinese Federation while provoking the EU.

After all, no matter how advanced Britannia's technology is, cultivating talent requires time and effort. The only outcome of going to war with two superpowers is that Britannia's powerful military and technological advantages will be dispersed, and it will be overwhelmed by the EU and the Chinese Federation, which have lower technological levels, through sheer numbers.

After all, war is not a duel between two knights, nor is victory determined by who has better skills or equipment. In real war, the means to achieve victory are ruthless.

Perhaps seven years from now, Britannia will disregard Momer's document, but for Britannia now, this agreement is not a humiliation, but rather a potential benefit.

After all, the Chinese Federation had no technology, no Sakura Stones, no relics of the gods, only a billion Chinese people who believed in their emperor. For the emperor they had never met, they could charge into the Britannian Knights of the Round Table as cannon fodder in the mass-produced Knightmare Steel Skulls of the Chinese Federation, which had no escape measures.

The thought of the Chinese Federation mobilizing hundreds of millions of combatants, and the endless steel skulls, even made Charles touch his egg roll.

Currently, the Britannian Knightmare might not even have the strength to fight ten against the mass-produced Steel Skulls of the Chinese Federation. Where is Charles going to find ten million Britannians to deal with the Chinese Federation?

The three fell silent, but the matter was now essentially settled.

This was perhaps the shortest negotiation ceremony in history, as the document was exactly what both sides wanted.

"Dad, is this alright...? It seems we don't even have a Chinese Federation ID card yet..."

Yui's hesitant voice rang in Mo Mo's ears, saying, "I know Daddy is playing a game of getting something for nothing, but isn't this game of getting something for nothing going too far?"

Momo's scheme of getting something for nothing is more than grandiose. He has only been in this world for five minutes, yet he has already represented the Chinese Federation and, together with the Emperor of Britannia, established the basic national policies for the two super-empires, Britannia and the Chinese Federation, for the next few years.

However, Mo Mo is not a member of the Chinese Federation at all, and the Chinese Federation's attitude towards this agreement is still unknown.

"Don't worry, Yui," Mo Mo secretly gave Yui a thumbs up and said, "With Egg Roll Head's approval, we are important figures who shoulder the responsibility for peace between the Chinese Federation and Britannia. Next, we can use Egg Roll Emperor's tiger skin to have the eunuchs grovel before us, and then swagger back to the Chinese Federation!"

Yui was stunned. Only then did she realize that Momo was not only getting something for nothing in Britannia, but after the Egg Roll Emperor was trapped by Momo, Momo also wanted to use the Egg Roll Emperor's reputation to trap him in the Chinese Federation.

In other words, Momo, an undocumented immigrant, suddenly became an important figure responsible for the peace between Britannia and the Chinese Federation. Both countries treated Momo as an honored guest, and Momo's contribution... was merely a few words.

Yui's eyes were already sparkling; she really was her father!

"Ok."

Charles finally spoke, saying, "This is indeed a good thing. Although we Britannia advocate the law of the jungle, we respect the strong. The Chinese Federation is also a strong force in the world."

"I will send a formal invitation to the officials. As for the specific details of the agreement, let them handle that. However, I have only one small request: this peace agreement is a matter between our two countries, Britannia and the Chinese Federation, and it must not be disclosed to any third party."

Who is the third party?

There is only one third party in the entire world: the EU.
