Let them offer their loyalty

After all, there is a "wilderness" between the Federation and District 25. If the other party wants to implement these "measures", it must have absolute control. After such a long period of assimilation, the Arbitration Bureau has long developed its independence, and it is hard to say whether it will side with the Federation in the next turmoil.

The reason is simple... The Federation's actions this time are really too radical. District 25 seems to be a mess, but if it is under pressure from the outside world and large and small companies unite, the threat they pose is no less than that of giant companies.

Of course, people don’t know that the so-called federal government’s intention to completely interfere in District 25 is just a deliberate attempt by someone with ulterior motives to guide public opinion.

As the instigator, Jonas certainly knew what the Federation was after...or what Dorothy Mison was after.

Crossing the wilderness is not easy. If Miss Dorothy wants to mobilize such a huge amount of resources, she will inevitably have to make promises to those old guys in the parliament.

Of course, she couldn't say that she had mobilized so many troops just for a medium-sized consortium in District 25. The only thing that could make those guys endure such a huge price was even greater benefits.

Therefore, what she proposed in the Federal Parliament was most likely to annex the entire 25th district.

In order not to arouse vigilance, the Federation cleverly concealed this condition and announced to the outside world that at least some "changes" would be made to the measures in District 25.

First, trick people into coming to District 25. As for whether to really annex District 25 or target the Alt Foundation alone, isn't it Dorothy who has the final say?

The plan was a good one, but unfortunately he underestimated the Alte Group's ability to control public opinion in District 25.

The upper echelons of the parliament believed that Dorothy's move was intended to annex the entire 25th District, and the 25th District also believed that Dorothy was trying to annex it, and even her actions seemed to be aimed at this point.

By the time all the businesses in District 25 unite, Dorothy might not be able to change her targets even if she wants to.

And this is exactly the situation now.

Before the federal army arrived, Jonas was ready to unite everyone.

Those who can gain a foothold in District 25 are not fools. Even if some people want to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, most people understand the principle that the death of a rabbit brings grief to the fox, and no one will joke with the interests and destiny of the consortium.

The Federation is definitely a powerful enemy, and the Arbitration Bureau, which possesses the strongest military power in District 25, may turn against them at any time. They can only rely on themselves.

At this time, the Alte Group, as the leader, set off the first huge wave of the storm.

Chapter 409 I Want to Hear More Than Just "I Love You"

Under what circumstances could a group of forces that only care about interests come together?

The answer is when they feel their interests might be harmed.

The pressure from the outside world, the news deliberately exaggerated by the Alte Consortium, and the interest alliance based on virtual reality that Jonas had formed in advance played a very important role at this moment.

With the existence of this alliance of interests, Jonas saved himself the tedious process of persuading each force one by one.

Of course, even if the alliance has been formed, it still faces a rather serious problem.

That is who should lead this alliance.

The reason why the Alte Foundation occupies a dominant position in the alliance previously built by virtual reality is that the interest basis of this alliance is virtual reality, and as the company that developed this technology, the Alte Foundation naturally occupies a dominant position in the alliance.

But now, the foundation of the alliance is built on resisting the invasion of the Federation. In other words, if you want to dominate this alliance, you must have absolute military strength, at least the level of the Arbitration Bureau, a military strength that can convince everyone.

The Alte Group must demonstrate military strength that matches its dominant position, otherwise new rifts will inevitably arise within the Group because of this incident.

So, what was it that Jonas never showed to the outside world from beginning to end?

——The answer is the tactical mecha unit that has been hiding in the Alte Foundation from the beginning.

................................................................

Combining the technology of previous civilizations, it is not difficult to replicate the new generation of tactical mechas.

In fact, the previous tug-of-war with Carol was on the one hand to reduce unexpected situations in the cooperation between the two, and on the other hand to prepare for the current situation.

It is not an easy task to purchase tactical mechas from the Arbitration Bureau, because this technology is only in the hands of the Federation, and in District 25, only the Arbitration Bureau possesses this core technology.

The resources held by other forces are either the mass production technology of tactical mechas that have been eliminated from the previous generation, or the new generation of tactical mechas that they purchased from the Federation across the wilderness at great expense.

It can be said that District 25 is stuck in the technology of tactical mechas.

In fact, the technical content of the tactical mecha itself is not that high. What really makes all parties at a loss is, on the one hand, the nuclear power energy system of the tactical mecha, and on the other hand, the material of the tactical mecha itself. The cost of replicating the composite metal on its surface is too high.

These two points happen to have equal or even superior replacement solutions in the technology tree of the previous civilization.

The nuclear power energy system of tactical mecha has a more streamlined and lower-cost alternative in the technology of previous civilizations.

The composite metal is replaced by a material layer... This not only has a lower cost, but also makes the tactical mecha more maneuverable.

By achieving these two points, the Alte Group will be able to do something that will make the entire 25th District jealous.

——Mass production of tactical mecha.

.................................................. .....

The first person to sign the agreement was Miss Chelsea from the Nason Group.

In fact, given the relationship between the two parties, there is no need to sign the so-called agreement.

Miss Chelsea obviously had other intentions in coming to the Alt Foundation.

Alte Consortium, top floor office.

At the desk, Chelsea was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt, looking quite simply dressed.

Her hair was naturally loose, with slightly curled ends, and her hands were naturally placed on the table.

"Alas, now I have really gotten into trouble with an enemy that even I can only flee in panic after being beaten."

The white-haired young woman spoke in a somewhat resentful tone, but there was a smile in her eyes. It was obvious that the other party was not really complaining, but was just joking.

Jonas, who was sitting opposite her, also laughed and sighed:

"I can't help it. I didn't take the initiative to provoke him this time. I can't just watch him attack me and then passively take the beating."

Chelsea swung her feet, her high heels half hanging on her feet. She swung them very naturally, then rubbed Jonas's calves with her feet wrapped in black silk stockings, and said in a complaining tone:

"At first it was the Dawn Star, then the Void Realm Sect, then Senna Life, and now even the entire Federation has come. I was able to help at the beginning, but now I am completely powerless."

After listening to the other party's last words, even Jonas felt a little ashamed.

In a sense, his initial idea, and even his idea until now, was to slowly develop himself, as long as he could survive in this world.

Who would be willing to work if they could just slack off?

Even if he traveled through time and space and became a capitalist, he would still be destined to be a hard worker, with troubles coming one after another. If this were a novel, Jonas would really want to kill that bastard author with one stroke.

Putting aside the random thoughts in his mind, he pondered for a moment and then said:

"In fact, I can tell you very clearly, Miss Chelsea, that the Federation is targeting me this time, not the entire District 25."

"You can stay out of this completely. If the Nathan Group is also involved, Miss Chelsea will be in great danger."

Jonas said this with all his heart.

In truth, Chelsea had helped him enough, and the risks this time were greater than ever before.

If it was someone else, Jonas could have used them as cannon fodder without mercy, but not Chelsea...

Hearing this, Chelsea couldn't help but be stunned. It seemed that she didn't expect Jonas to say such a thing. After a moment, she realized what he meant by saying this.

She was silent for a moment, then stood up, came over and hooked her arms around Jonas' neck, leaned against his face, and spoke in a gentle tone:

"Then what should we do? We have already boarded this pirate ship and there is no turning back."

"I've said it before, whether it's the Nathan Group or me, the meaning of our existence from now on is for you."

"You stole so many things from me. It's really selfish to say something like this at this time..."

Feeling the warm touch on his cheek, Jonas was silent for a while. He seemed to sense the other party's heavy heart. He couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Feel sorry."

"No need to apologize."

Chelsea sat back in her chair, bringing Jonas forward with her. She looked him in the eye, blinked, and said:

"You know, that's not what I want to hear right now."

Jonas thought for a moment and said:

"Love you."

"Yes, I love you, too."

Chelsea narrowed her eyes happily, and her tone was a little more pleading as she continued:

"So can you say it a few more times?"

"Do you want it to be genuine or perfunctory?"

"All at once."

"I love you."

"This is too perfunctory." Chelsea said, seeming a little dissatisfied.

“This is serious.”

Hearing this, Chelsea got a little angry. She gently bumped Jonas's head with her forehead and said:

"Then I'll punish you by making you say it seriously 10,000 times."

"Ten thousand times is too much. Can it be divided into installments?"

"How many days will it be paid in installments?" Chelsea asked after thinking for a moment.

"Can I say it twice a day?"

"That's subject to interest."

Chelsi tilted her head, and Tiger opened his mouth:

“The interest is increased once a day.”

“That’s too tiring.”

Jonas said helplessly:

"Then I'll just say it once a day."

"Don't give up!" Chelsea was a little exasperated.

"You dog capitalist, I've never seen such high interest rates."

"And since I already owe so much..."

Jonas smiled and said:

"As for the rest, I'll pay it back in this lifetime."

Chelsea was stunned, pursed her lips, looked away, and spoke after a long while:

"Then you are not allowed to go back on your word."

She rarely showed this girlish attitude, and the only times she did so were in front of Jonas.

"Won't regret it."

"Then tell me today's portion first."

Jonas looked into Chelsea's eyes, and saw his own reflection in her eyes. He spoke seriously:

"I love you."

"I knew that what I did just now was just perfunctory."

Chelsi leaned forward and pried open his lips.

After a long time, she parted her lips and said, panting:

"Next time, if you don't want to talk seriously, use this as an answer."

“Is there any extra interest on this?”

"Of course."

Chelsea smiled and said:

"But it's not 'I love you' anymore. That would be too easy for you."

"what is that?"
