Chapter 526 Potential S+
"So this Mr. Amber rejected the proposal of cooperation?"
This is a cold and majestic female voice, the 'below the surface' of human lingua franca seems to There is another unique rhythm that makes Baron BASF subconsciously want to surrender even across a screen.
"That's not true. His Highness Mr. Amber is very willing to continue regular cooperation with us on the current basis, but he feels that if we want to have 'deep cooperation', we should be more candid, and No.”
“Instead of what?”
"Instead of 'playing these boring word games'."
After saying this, Baron BASF, standing in front of the screen in the conference room inside the cruise ship 'Szchelbech', felt that his head was Another drop of cold sweat broke down - just like when I heard Amber's second question.
There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and Baron BASF felt that the air here was about to freeze.
The last time he had such a similar feeling was when he discovered that his second wife, the arrogant and charming aristocratic daughter, was not biologically related to the son he gave birth to.
Of course, two months later, the baron married his third wife
However, such a "dusty old story" just popped up in BASF's mind, and he was frightened by the chuckle coming from the other side of the screen.
“Hehe, this person is quite interesting.”
Princess Agnes’s face showed a smile that was not common during this period: “What else? I believe Mr. Amber's 'original words' should be more than this, right?"
"Um, is this allowed?" Baron BASF asked cautiously.
“Don’t worry, Mr. BASF, I won’t blame you for this.”
Baron Basf swallowed, and then said: "Mr. Amber later said, 'The current situation is like I picked a ring from your Highness and put it in my pocket, but His Highness not only did not want to take it back, but also It's just as funny to blush and say that you want to reward me with this ring."
After the Baron finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence for the second time today.
He immediately regretted that he had said Amber's original words so bluntly. No one in the Star Dragon Empire would dare to say such disrespectful words like "teasing", and And let Her Royal Highness Agnes know.
“It has a sense of humor.”
Agnes’s voice was calm, as if what she just said had no impact on her.
Baron Basf also quietly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Agnes speak again, but before he could take a breath, he heard Agnes continue:
"It seems that this Mr. Amber did not directly reject our proposal, but he may need to observe and evaluate it for a while. After all, he is indeed a cautious businessman
Of course, there is another possibility that this Amber Mr. Po is indeed too busy now. Mr. BASF, did he leave directly after the meeting with you?"
"Yes, Your Highness," Baron BASF nodded.
"Mr. Amber didn't even have time to continue communicating with me at the subsequent banquet. He hurriedly left after having a drink with me to apologize, and then seemed to directly enter the jump with Atlas's first fleet. So I I will report to you as soon as possible”
BASF could see that Her Royal Highness Agnes was very interested in their cooperation with the Atlas Group. Because at that time, BASF found out that Her Highness was staying late at night, so it just sent a secret report and waited for Agnes. Let's talk after Si gets up.
Unexpectedly, less than 20 minutes after his secret report was sent, he was asked to communicate directly with Agnes remotely.
“Judging from the invitation to go directly to the core area of Atlas and your conversation, Mr. Amber is relatively friendly to us and did not directly reject our offer of in-depth cooperation. 'Suggestion, but said such a 'humorous' speech~"
Agnes on the big screen crossed her chest with one hand, and held up and pinched her delicate breasts with the other hand. He lowered his chin and glanced at the other side of the screen, thinking while continuing:
"It seems that he really thinks that we are not frank enough or sincere enough. If we plan to talk to Atla If the Si Group continues to cooperate, it will have to change its previous habits of dealing with other forces.”
Agnes paused for a moment, and then seemed to remember something funny:
"Of course, the premise of all this is that Mr. Amber can first solve the troublesome things at hand, Mr. BASF!"
The imperial princess suddenly raised her head and looked at Baron Basf. The latter stood up straight as if he was shaken, and the expression on his face was as determined as if he wanted to accompany the monarch to the burial.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
"The contact with the Atlas Group will be completely left to you. I don't care whether you stay at A. Bawa Ku Fortress or where you go. , in short, I hope you can contact Mr. Amber as soon as he comes back from his busy work, and tell me the results after the new round of talks.”
"Yes, Your Highness!" Baron BASF replied firmly: "I will communicate with the person I am connecting with to see if I can stay here for a while, and also take the opportunity to collect more information."
" That's fine, but you still have to be careful and don't offend the other party."
Looking at Baron BASF on the screen, and remembering Amber's 'original words' that the other party had just spoken about, Agnes spoke again. He smiled lightly, and then continued:
"It's been hard on you during this period. I will go to visit Mona personally. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a long time. I just want to see her. How are you doing after being with you~"
The 'Mona' in Agnes's mouth is the daughter of the former imperial prime minister who has been overthrown by the regent, and she was also her companion when she was young. .
She is also the fourth wife of Baron Basf.
Yes, the fourth.
We will not tell the story between Baron BASF and his third wife for now.
In short, after another failed marriage, with the help of Agnes, the little baron married the daughter of the former prime minister.
Although his title is only baron, Basf is also one of the richest and most powerful nobles in the Star Dragon Empire. With such a status, it is not worthy to marry the daughter of the former prime minister who has become a prisoner. Not to go to each other's place.
In fact, Baron Basf always knew that Her Royal Highness Agnes's 'pulling the strings' was ultimately to hope that the daughter of the former prime minister, who was in a worrying situation within the empire at that time, could receive asylum.
However, he must also admit that this young woman, who is completely different from his first three wives in every aspect, has indeed become his 'good wife'.
It is for this reason that Baron BASF has since become a die-hard 'Princess Party', and has always supported Her Royal Highness Agnes without any complaints
BASF: "Thank you for Your Highness's concern. Everything has gone well since Na married me, and her character is much better than after that incident."
"Well, I will go and ask in person. I will stay here for today, and leave. Mr. BASF, please have a good rest, you will be busy later"
After saying this and watching Baron BASF lower his head respectfully, Agnes cut off the encrypted communication.
As the projected virtual screen disappeared, the surrounding night lights also adjusted their brightness after detecting the change in brightness, and the light in Agnes's bedroom slowly dimmed. The cold moonlight outside the bedroom window shone on her through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, casting a slender and graceful shadow on the ground.
After a while, Agnes, who was staring at the moon outside the window, suddenly said:
"Natalia Qing, what do you think?"
As the footsteps of military boots hit the ground, Natalia, wearing the uniform of a Guards officer, walked out of the shadows of the room and quickly came to the side and rear of Agnes.
"Your Highness, I also think that Mr. Amber should still have some goodwill towards us, but there is indeed something unclear. Please ask Your Highness to clear up the confusion for you."
"Oh. ? Tell me.”
“Why does His Highness think so highly of Atlas and Mr. Amber that he even takes the initiative to show his kindness?”
Natalia is a little confused. asked:
"Xiaguan knows that he has indeed mastered some technologies that are beyond the current level, but if we look at the size, if we want Mr. Amber to participate in the current chaos of the empire, it seems that it is still a little small? And the resistance Risk capabilities may not be sufficient either.”
“When evaluating Atlas Group, you can’t just focus on ‘volume’, Natalia Qing.”
Love Genis turned to look at her captain of the guard, and then continued:
"I know that 'volume' is indeed a very objective indicator when measuring a force, but you Atlas Group cannot be viewed from a conventional perspective, because it is completely different from other forces.
Just from the perspective of growth or expansion speed, this private company has reached a stage where it only exists. At the level of 'imagination'. No, most people can't even imagine such a growth rate.
Therefore, when we evaluate, we should pay more attention to its 'potential'. After all, 'volume' can only indicate the current strength of the company, but 'potential' determines how far the company can develop in the future.
So what I am optimistic about is actually the future of Atlas Group. What’s more, Mr. Amber has always been a man who ‘turns the impossible into the possible’, isn’t he? "
Listening to Agnes' explanation, Natalia nodded thoughtfully, and continued to ask after a moment:
"If His Highness is interested in Art. As for the future of Lars, then this company doesn’t seem to be able to provide us with much help in the coming chaos? "
"Who says it can't be done? Did you forget what I just said about ‘growth rate’? ”
"Is this too fast?"
"No, because we are facing a force whose overall efficiency exceeds our imagination. Judging from the pieces of intelligence we have obtained,' "Efficiency first" is not a slogan at Atlas, but a fact.
So if Mr. Amber can handle the problem of the Lubion system, I think Atlas's development will speed up again. .”
Although Natalia did not expect that His Highness would have such a high opinion of Atlas Group, judging from many previous events, His Highness’s predictions eventually changed. became a reality.
So after hesitating for a moment, the loyal guard leader chose to believe again.
"I understand, Your Highness, thank you for clarifying my doubts," Natalia lowered her head and said respectfully.
"Haha, if Natalia-san really wants to thank me, then go and pour me a glass of ice water. It makes me thirsty~"
Hearing this , Natalia smiled sheepishly, and then quickly went to bring ice water and put it in Agnes's hand.
After taking the cup, the imperial princess drank the ice water in a somewhat uncharacteristic manner, and then let out a sigh of relief.
“Hu is finally saved~”
Natalia was not surprised by Agnes's gesture. After all, the constitutions of the royal family of the Star Dragon Empire were different from ordinary people. It was normal to drink a large glass of ice water at night.
After moving her body a little, Agnes suddenly asked:
"By the way, Sir Natalia, from the A. Bawa Ku Fortress to the Rubian System How long will it take?”
“If it is a conventional fleet jump, it will take about 10 days, but based on the jump speed of the Atlas Group fleet we have observed several times, plus some intelligence With the support of the fragments, I estimate that the Atlas Group's fleet will jump faster, and it may only take 6-7 days to arrive."
Natalia replied after a quick calculation in her mind. He also frowned in confusion.
"This company can actually upgrade the forerunner technology of 'jump drive'. This is something that Xiaguan is puzzled by."
"Hmm, that's why I pay so much attention to them. This company The company, or Mr. Amber, has so many secrets, it’s so fascinating~”
Agnes raised her delicate eyebrows, and then continued:
"There is only a jump time of 6-7 days, but it is still moving so quickly. It seems that the situation in the Rubian galaxy is developing faster than we imagined."
"Your Highness, what do you think of Rubian? Was that incident in the galaxy the work of Norton II?”
"Who knows? But this incident did create a good 'window period' for him."
——
Hyperspace jump route, bridge of the Dawn.
Amber stood in front of the holographic projection platform with a serious look on her face, staring at the three-dimensional image of the Lubion galaxy.
"In addition to confirming that the Federation fleet will soon enter the jump and launch an attack, did the emergency communication from Randall say anything else?"
Cliffs: "He also said that the garrison fleet controlled by the Rubian System Autonomous Government is clearing and suppressing other 'rebel' ships.
And from the action, it seems that they want to ensure The safety of an airspace, he guessed, is most likely the planned jump coordinate of the federal fleet."
After hearing Cliffs' words, Amber immediately guessed Randall's plan.
“So?”
“So he wants to launch a surprise attack on the garrison fleet in this area before the enemy’s forces have an absolute advantage.”
