Super God: Rise of Civilization.

My apologies, my apologies.

……

Next.

Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty took the emperor of the Star Empire on a tour of the Ming Dynasty.

He entrusted the internal affairs of the empire to the cabinet, instructing the cabinet to discuss assistance with the foreign minister and finance minister of the Star Empire.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Are you all insane?"

Heshen, the finance minister of the Ming Empire, glared at Ouyang, the finance minister of the Star Empire, and said, "Trading a planetary system for a warship? Do you think my Ming Empire is stupid?"

If you were to say that you would trade one planetary system for one of your main warships, that would be more reasonable.

But you dare to sell me an obsolete warship from an entire planetary system? Isn't your Star Empire's greed a bit too ugly?

"Please calm down, sir."

"When I said one planetary system for one warship, I didn't mean I was selling you an empty shell of a warship, but a fully equipped warship. You're making a profit."

"Even our weakest third-generation warships are equipped with star-destroying cannons and antimatter weapons."

"Moreover, our warships are all readily available. What about yours? The current situation of your Great Ming Empire is not optimistic. How many warships can you build in a day?"

Finance Minister Ouyang gestured with his hand and said, "You can take over our warships and join the battle immediately. We'll also throw in a fully equipped intelligent combat force. You'll make a killing."

"Bullshit! What's the point of sending a bunch of ordinary warships to a Type IV civilization's interstellar war? To send them to their deaths?"

Heshen was furious.

Are you kidding me?

Has my Great Ming Empire gone mad or what?

Taking a bunch of obsolete warships to give away kills and glory to others?

"Based on our analysis of the Ming Empire's warships, the Ming Empire's main warships may not be able to compete with the Star Empire's third-generation warships. In a one-on-one battle, the Star Empire's warships would crush the Ming Empire in every aspect."

"Not to mention the fourth-generation warships. Our fourth-generation warships are equipped with weapons that can destroy planetary systems. You won't lose out or be cheated by buying them."

"How about this! Buy 100 million third-generation warships. I'll decide for you to use an entire river system to supply you with a T1-class combined fleet. What do you say?"

Ou Yang naturally knew that selling a warship to someone in a planetary system was indeed a bit unethical, but in order to recoup resources and funds, he had no choice but to sell the T1-class joint fleet group to the Ming Empire.

Chapter 500 [Trading Warship]

"We dare to sell you third-generation warships because you have a need for them."

"One hundred million warships are enough to ensure that after your Great Ming Empire wins the war, you will still have the strength to deal with other civilizations, or even use them for border patrols."

"Is this all the Great Ming Empire is planning to acquire next?"

"The universe is so vast. The Ming Empire is at least a level four civilization. Does it really only want to have a dozen or so galaxies? That's impossible. A hundred million warships is too conservative."

"If you ask me, we would need at least five billion warships."

Foreign Minister Xu Wen also began to deceive the cabinet of the Ming Empire, saying, "Gentlemen, look, you have spent the cost of two river systems, and no one is willing to help you."

What about us?

"We came with goodwill, and all in all, we don't need two galaxies."

"Without costing the price of two river systems, we can help your Great Ming Empire solve its current troubles. You can decide for yourselves which is more worthwhile?"

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty cabinet fell silent upon hearing Xu Wen's words.

"fart!"

Heshen's eyes were red, and he said through gritted teeth, "It cost two river systems. That was because others helped us fight the war. They had to bear all the subsequent logistical problems themselves."

"We buy your warships to fight, but we have to take care of all the logistics afterwards."

These two are complete liars.

We spent almost two galaxies to buy your warships, but in the end, it was our Great Ming Empire that suffered the most damage.

"But you didn't accept the bounty, did you?"

The next moment, Ou Yang brought up the most practical issue directly, saying, "Whether to buy or not, that depends on your Great Ming Empire."

"Just because you don't buy doesn't mean other civilizations won't buy."

"If you don't buy it, we can sell it to other civilizations. But if the Galactic Alliance buys it, can you handle the addition of 10 billion warships to the battlefield?"

"Furthermore, I promise to sell you a T1-class combined fleet."

Ou Yang waved to his subordinate beside him.

The Ministry of Finance official quickly took a document from him.

Ou Yang glanced at the information and handed it to Heshen, saying, "Lord He, please take a look. These are the parameters of my Star Empire's T1-class joint fleet. It is a super-powerful fleet consisting of 100,000 fifth-generation warships and 1 million fourth-generation warships, equipped with rapid-fire star-destroying cannons, rapidly charged planetary strike weapons, and controllable two-dimensional foil weapons."

"If you buy it, would the Galactic Alliance dare to wage a war of dimensional reduction against you?"

"According to our Star Empire's investigation, the Galactic Alliance dares not engage in a dimensional war with you, nor can it initiate a dimensional war."

"My Star Empire's T1-class joint fleet can initiate dimensional warfare, enter higher-dimensional spacetime, and engage in combat with the enemy."

"If they don't stop fighting, you can go to their universe and carry out a dimensional reduction attack on their three-dimensional spacetime from a higher-dimensional spacetime. They won't even know who attacked them."

"I have placed the documents here. Whether you ministers will cooperate or not, I do not know."

"If it weren't for the friendship between His Majesty the Emperor of my Star Empire and His Majesty the Emperor of your country, do you think our Star Empire would have gotten involved in the mess that is your Great Ming Empire?"

After saying this, Finance Minister Ou Yang and Foreign Minister Xu Wen exchanged a glance, stood up from their seats, and led their entourage out of the Ming Dynasty Cabinet meeting room.

For a dignified Level 6 civilization like myself to come and communicate with a Level 4.7 civilization like yours is already giving you a lot of face.

Not buying?

If you don't buy, does that mean my Star Empire's warships can't be sold?

Haven't you heard the saying that anything produced by Xingchen is guaranteed to be of high quality?

If we dare to sell to you, we dare to guarantee the practicality and durability of our weapons and equipment.

After the two ministers from the Star Empire left, the cabinet ministers of the Great Ming Empire began to discuss the matter.

"Lord He, look at their terms: replacement only, no repairs, and a 1,000-year warranty."

Liu Yong pointed to the contents of the terms and conditions and said, "Which civilization dares to offer a guarantee for a thousand years? And it's only replacement, not repair."

"He didn't specify that it was only for replacement, not repair, during wartime, and it's guaranteed for a thousand years."

Heshen's eyes darted around.

The ministers: "..."

Which company's product was damaged during a battle, and they compensated you?

"Alright, alright, let's report this matter to His Majesty first and see what his decision is."

……

The Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, this is the Star Empire's proposal for purchasing warships."

Prime Minister Sun Chengzong handed over a document and said, "For this reason, Lord He had a quarrel with the Finance Minister of the Star Empire."

"Arguing? What's going on? They're here to help us, not to have us argue."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "If he disturbs me and drives people away, I will take his head."

But the more Zhu Youjian looked at the contents, the more his brows furrowed, and his eyes filled with seriousness. He said, "Buy it."

"what?"

"Your Majesty, are you seeing things?"

Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor in disbelief and tentatively asked.

The planetary system they requested is one that has never been developed.

"I am not blind yet. I say, buy. Don't try to negotiate the price. If they dare to make an offer, then we'll buy," Zhu Youjian said through gritted teeth.

This is an open conspiracy. You have to buy it or not. If you don't buy it, do you believe I'll sell it to the Galactic Alliance?

Given the current state of the Ming Empire, what difference does it make whether we buy it or not?

If we buy it, we might still have a chance to get through this difficult time; if we don't buy it, the Ming Empire might not even have a next year.

"Think long-term."

"Inquire with the Star Empire's Minister of Finance and Minister of Foreign Affairs: if the order is signed, how long will it take to deliver the warships?"

"If a problem occurs during delivery, whose fault is it?"

After Zhu Youjian calmed down, he said...

He still had his eye on the Star Empire's T1-class combined fleet. Any one of these fleets could turn the tide of battle.

In high-dimensional spacetime warfare, the Galactic Alliance in three-dimensional spacetime would only be able to stand still and take the beating.

"Yes."

……

the next day.

"The transportation issue is naturally the responsibility of our Star Empire. If there are any problems? Whoever has the problem, our Star Empire will not be affected."

"I dare to guarantee you that anyone who dares to rob my Star Empire will be taught a lesson: living in this world is a very difficult thing."

Foreign Minister Khaw Mun solemnly assured him.

"Is a 1,000-year warranty too short?" Liu Yong asked tentatively. "How about we add more? After all, we bought it with real money."

"No! But we can offer you discounts in other areas."

"For example: if you purchase 100 million third-generation warships, our Star Empire will give you ten fourth-generation warships free of charge."

"Buy 10 billion third-generation warships, and we'll give you 10,000 fourth-generation warships as a gift."

"Purchase a fourth-generation warship worth one billion, and we will give you a fifth-generation mothership free of charge."
