Chapter 598 Mysterious Chips
incredible.

Such a proud empire would actually ask them for help one day?
Honestly speaking, if the facts had not been laid out before Vega and Okasos, they would not have believed that such an incredible thing could have happened, even if they were beaten to death.

A hegemonic country.

A country known as the most powerful country on the continent.

Now this country is actually asking for help from an enemy that is many times weaker than it. Has the dignity and glory of the empire been abandoned? Or has the war really become so serious that the empire has no choice but to bow to this enemy country and even ask for help.

So should I help or not?

No matter it is moral or logical, I can't help you.

The reason is very simple. The Holy Dynasty is still a member of the Covenant States, and the Empire is still their enemy. If Vega agrees to the Empire's request, it means directly tearing up the alliance and being considered by the mainland as defecting to the Empire's camp.

By then, it would be useless even if Vega denied it.

Then it can be predicted that when the next war breaks out again, the Free Alliance will think that the Dynasty has allied with the Empire, while the Empire will think that it helped us last time only out of interest, and you are still my enemy.

This is really going to happen.

By then, the Holy Dynasty will be isolated by the continent, and no country will dare to form an alliance with the dynasty.

Neutrals don't last long.

Especially for a big country like the Holy Dynasty, both the Alliance and the Empire would inevitably want to eliminate it as soon as possible before the war. In this case, accepting help would be more cost-effective than gain.

Secondly, the empire was not welcomed by the dynasty’s subjects.

Let the soldiers of the Holy Dynasty travel across mountains and rivers to the Empire to fight against the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Vega could not guarantee whether the soldiers had the courage to fight the next war with their backs against the wall. If they were not careful, the confidence that had been built with great difficulty would be destroyed.

In summary.

Vega believed that he could never agree to the Empire's request for help, no matter what the cost to the Empire.

But the Empire was clearly well prepared. They also knew that if they asked the enemy for help, there was a 99% chance that the enemy would refuse them, so they prepared a bargaining chip that Vega could not refuse.

The envoy glanced at Okasos and Vega and said, "As long as your country can help the Empire overcome the difficulties, our country is willing to remove all technical barriers to your country and send a thousand top talents in the military industry to help your country establish a complete military industry chain."

Okasos was somewhat moved, but Vega remained unmoved.

The envoy didn't care and continued, "I know that your country has mastered the technology of war airships, but it has encountered considerable difficulties in actually manufacturing them. It may take another 40 to 50 years to build a war airship of international standard."

"Oh? You mean..."

"Our country can send 15 senior talents in the field of war airships to assist your country in building the most advanced war airship industry chain in the world, so that the Holy Dynasty can achieve independence in the war airship industry."

After hearing the messenger's bargaining chips, Okasos could no longer hold back.

Just as the envoy said, the dynasty had the foundation of civilian industries but lacked the background of military industries. Even if they had mastered the technology of war airships and were given enough parts, they could build them, but there were no suppliers of these parts within the dynasty.

in short.

The Holy Dynasty has not formed an industrial chain for war airships.

Okasos understood the importance of this matter very well.

Although the Holy Dynasty also had air forces in the past, those air forces were traded from other countries, and after reaching a certain number, both the Empire and the Kingdom would no longer sell them war airships and strictly control them. The importance of war airships to the war situation is self-evident.

When the dynasty was caught in a war between the two countries, what kind of trouble could it cause?
If the Empire helps them build such an industrial chain, the Dynasty will become another country that can independently build war airships. At that time, even if other countries blockade them, the Holy Dynasty will have nothing to fear.

And want to dominate the world.

Such an industrial chain of war airships must be built.

Therefore, Okasos looked at Vega and said, "Your Highness, the matter of the sub-dragon species is probably no longer a war between countries. I think their evil behavior has risen to the level of anti-humanity, so why not support the Empire this time?"

The Messenger and Okasos looked at Vega with hope.

After all, Vega is the commander-in-chief of the three armies and a prince of the royal family. He is the only one who has the right to agree or refuse requests for help.

But Vega finally shook his head.

These chips are certainly tempting, but Vega believes that they are not enough for him to take such a big risk and travel across mountains and rivers to the northwest to fight against the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. He does not want to lose the big picture for the small.

"terribly sorry."

Vega apologized to the messenger: "We are still on opposite sides, and I have no intention of breaking the covenant with the Freedom Alliance and the Principality of Baya, so please go back and tell your superiors that the dynasty refuses to cooperate with the enemy."

"I'm very sorry. We were presumptuous."

The envoy was not angry, he just bowed and left the meeting room.

This actually surprised Vega, because he saw that the messenger had a confident expression on his face and did not show any frustration because of his rejection. Wasn't this a little unreasonable?

Okathos didn't notice this.

He sighed, said hello to Vega and left the meeting room. There was a big piece of fat meat in front of him but he couldn't eat it. Okasos was very depressed. But the decision made by Vega was not unreasonable, and he really couldn't refute it.

But something happened that surprised Okasos.

Vega, who had righteously refused to send troops to help the Empire fight against the Holy Dragon Kingdom yesterday, seemed like a different person today. He directly announced at the meeting that he would temporarily put aside his hatred for the sake of humanity and help the Empire fight against the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

What did that sentence say?

Mmm, it smells so good.

"Your Highness, that's not what you said yesterday."

Okasos made a disdainful sound, but Vega didn't care. He smiled and said, "People will always change. I will think about it for a night after I go back. This time, helping the empire is helping mankind. I don't want to see the Holy Dragon Kingdom continue to grow."

This reason was recognized by most people.

Some soldiers even praised Vega for being so wise and being able to temporarily put aside his hatred for the sake of humanity.

Okasos scoffed at the praise, as this was exactly what he had said yesterday.

Only a fool would believe that the superior has a conscience. Okasos is 100% sure that the messenger must have secretly visited Vega's mansion last night and offered a bargaining chip that Vega could not refuse.

What is this chip?
Okasos was also very curious. After all, even the sky-high-priced chips yesterday could not lure Vega. Could there be any chips more valuable than the war airship industry chain?
