Chapter 980 Mutual Assistance Agreement Reached
And so, the entire meeting proceeded amicably amidst gasps of surprise from both sides.
Both sides are considering what price they need to pay to obtain the much-needed technology from the other.
At this point, their stance was more like that of businessmen than soldiers.
After more than three hours of intense bargaining, the two sides finally reached a preliminary consensus on technology exchange.
Qin Zhong gave up tactical detection goggles, energy field shields, and the manufacturing technology of rudimentary biological weapons in exchange for all the technology possessed by You Keliang's military intelligence department.
Although You Keliang was somewhat dissatisfied with failing to obtain the Destruction One technology, based on the information currently available to the Military Intelligence Department, obtaining this was already considered a concession by Qin Zhong.
Moreover, Qin Zhong did not make any absolute statements. He promised that as long as the military intelligence department's technology department developed technical data worth exchanging, other unexchanged data could also be exchanged at an equivalent price.
Although Qin Zhong acquired X-planet technology in Suzhou, giving him a significant advantage over the military intelligence department of the Chongqing military government, he was far inferior to the Chongqing military government, which had grown with national support, in terms of resources.
Although the Tiangang organization has occupied some mineral resources and started production, it is still extremely lacking in many rare resources.
Especially during this period, thunderstorms have been slow to appear, and Qin Zhong has not received a summons from Sun Xiaoyan in the real world, so many resources cannot be obtained from the real world.
In the end, Qin gritted his teeth and traded two Destroyer Ones for a large amount of needed supplies.
Of course, both Destroyer Ones were equipped with anti-theft and self-destruct mechanisms. Anyone who attempts to analyze their manufacturing technology will face the terrifying self-destruction of the Destroyer One.
For this reason, Qin Zhong specifically reminded You Keliang that if he dismantled Destruction No. 1 without authorization, any consequences would be unrelated to the Tiangang Organization.
Of course, if You Keliang could preserve Destruction One from the power of a near-small nuclear explosion and decipher its manufacturing data, Qin Zhong would have nothing to say.
After reaching a consensus, both sides signed a complete alliance agreement, marking the formal signing of a written treaty between the Tiangang Organization and the Military Intelligence Department of the Bayu Military Government, signifying a commitment to mutual assistance and shared destiny.
Of course, the agreement did not specify how they would help each other.
As everyone knows, this agreement is like a law in the apocalypse, with limited binding force; the only thing that can motivate both parties to cooperate is mutual benefit.
However, judging from the current development trend, as long as no major changes occur, the two sides should be able to cooperate for a long time.
After handing the signed alliance agreement to Sun Xiaoyan, Qin Zhong smiled slightly and said to You Keliang, "Alright, Major General You, now that we are allies, we should keep our information synchronized. I'd like to ask, what is the situation in Bayu City?"
"What's the situation in Chongqing?"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's question, You Keliang paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either. Perhaps our minister would know more. However, I can tell you that although we are the military intelligence department of the Bayu military government, we are actually not aligned with the Bayu municipal government. You could say we were ousted, and Bayu city is controlled by local gangs..."
……
"What? Even you can't get into Bayu City?" Qin Zhong was greatly disappointed when he heard You Keliang's words. He had originally hoped to make a deal with the local forces in Bayu through You Keliang.
If they could successfully obtain information about their uncle and complete the transaction, that would be ideal. However, unexpectedly, even You Keliang and his group were unable to enter Bayu.
Moreover, Qin Zhong had previously captured those spies sent from Bayu, hoping to learn about the current situation in Bayu City from them, but he only discovered this after the giant eye devoured their memories.
These spies were all stationed in satellite cities surrounding Chongqing. Even though they didn't know anything about the city, they only knew that internal power struggles were raging and the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic.
"Among the forces in Bayu City, there are former Bayu City soldiers and local gang members who band together to resist us. We, on the other hand, were originally soldiers stationed near Bayu, so we're not part of the same system and it's common for us not to unite!"
You Keliang explained, then asked with a puzzled look, "Lord Qin, why are you suddenly interested in the Bayu city area? They're currently under lockdown, so they shouldn't offend you, right?"
"Closed-off? Heh, I doubt it." Hearing You Keliang's words, Qin Chong smiled coldly and told You Keliang about the spy affair. Of course, he didn't mention a word about his uncle, not wanting too many people to know that his uncle was in Bayu City, lest he become a tool for others to threaten him.
"I see..." After listening to Qin Zhong's explanation, You Keliang nodded and said with a solemn expression, "However, Lord Qin, if it is not necessary, I advise you not to provoke Ba Yu."
"Why?" Qin Chong frowned and said coldly, "Does that mean I can only sit and wait to die when the other side attacks?"
You Keliang smiled wryly, "Lord Qin, perhaps I haven't explained myself clearly enough. As far as I know, there are at least twenty million survivors gathered in Bayu City. Even with only a one in a thousand evolution rate, there are still at least twenty thousand evolved individuals. Therefore, Bayu's true strength is no less than that of the Kyoto government. Don't be fooled by their current low profile; if you provoke them, you'll likely face a terrifying counterattack." "Hiss... twenty million survivors..."
Upon hearing You Keliang's words, Qin Zhong couldn't help but gasp. He finally realized that he seemed to have seriously underestimated the power of Bayu City.
Regardless of the strength of the evolved beings in the city of Chongqing, the twenty million survivors alone constitute an extremely terrifying force.
However, no matter how powerful the opponent was, it could not shake his determination to rescue his uncle.
After all, Qin Zhong's goal in fighting has always been for his family and brothers. If he were to give up rescuing his uncle because of some difficulties, how could he sustain himself to keep moving forward and becoming stronger?
Moreover, with Qin Chong's current strength, he can no longer be dealt with simply by numbers.
"Thanks for the reminder. We're not warmongers, so why would we provoke them?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Qin Zhong smiled again and said, "In order to improve the combat capabilities of both sides as soon as possible, I will send someone tomorrow to transport Destruction One to accompany you. Similarly, I hope that the ten combat mechs and five auxiliary mechs that you promised to send can be delivered as soon as possible. After all, the situation outside is becoming more and more chaotic. The sooner we improve our strength, the greater our chances of survival in the chaos will be."
