Chapter 1463: Flower Fairy Federation Tribe
Lilith also scanned the faces of the ten people.
If Zhao Chen wasn't mistaken, Lilith should already have information about the mercenary fleet behind these ten people in her mind.
"Everyone is here. I am the person in charge of this mission, Hua Ya Nini."
You are the mercenary fleet members we selected for this escort and transport mission.
Next, I will send you relevant information and details about what needs to be done for the escort.
"As for the bounty, it will proceed according to the procedures we agreed upon earlier," said the woman named Hanaya Nini.
At this moment, a fat man with big ears raised his hand on the other end of the video window and asked, "Wait a minute."
"Miss Hanaya Nini, do you mean that for this escort mission, all ten of our mercenary fleets have been selected?"
"That's right."
"In the previous mercenary mission, it was clearly stated that the number of legion fleets hired would not exceed three, and the total number would not exceed ten thousand interstellar warships."
But from what I understand, the mercenary fleets behind these ten groups currently present also number at least over 50,000 interstellar warships here.
Flower Bud Nini, the Flower Fairy, said with a smile, "I was just about to explain this to you all."
Some details of the hiring process have changed, but your workload remains the same.
However, the amount of goods we are escorting this time has increased significantly.
Therefore, the number of hired legion fleets has also increased.
"Is it really just a matter of changing the content?" the man questioned again.
Seeing the worried and doubtful expressions on everyone's faces, Fairy Flower Sprout Nini could only feign helplessness and say, "Since everyone is worried and doubtful about this matter..."
Then I will tell you more information, but I'm sure you all know the rules.
From this moment forward, all information you hear will be kept secret.
Whether you accept this task or not, you are not allowed to publicize it outside.
Otherwise, once we discover that you have violated the spirit of the contract, our Fairy Federation tribe will refuse to cooperate with this mercenary fleet that has broken the contract.
Don't be fooled by Hanaya Nini's gentle and cute words; the underlying threat is quite obvious.
Because now, thanks to the status and connections of the Flower Fairy Federation tribe, if any mercenary fleet is rejected by them, it's equivalent to offending 90% of the population.
It will be difficult to get a share of the intergalactic trade after that.
Some may wonder, can these mercenary fleet commanders who control the legion fleet really just swallow their anger?
The main reason for this is that the Flower Fairy Federation tribe holds these rights, but they will never use them lightly.
They understand a fundamental truth: once a deterrent is overused, it ceases to be a deterrent.
So far, the Flower Fairy Federation tribe has only used this method twice.
On both occasions, they made all the relevant information public, convincing everyone that the Flower Fairy Federation tribe was the one being harmed and threatened.
As for the two guys who offended the Flower Fairy Federation tribe, one was a mercenary fleet that was quite prestigious at the time and ranked among the top ten in terms of strength.
The other is an interstellar force within a certain interstellar civilization's universe.
Both of them paid a heavy price for their foolish actions!
Let's get back to the present.
Upon hearing Hanaya Nini's warning, everyone present nodded in understanding.
Afterwards, Hanaya Nini explained the reason for the changes in this mission.
This transport mission was actually initiated by an interstellar power currently embroiled in war, which ordered a batch of military-grade spare parts and starship modules.
You should know that the interstellar traders of the Flower Fairy Federation tribe can do all kinds of business, except for one.
That is the trade of finished interstellar warships.
The reason for emphasizing the trade in finished interstellar warships is that the Fairy Federation tribes are not completely detached from the trade in military industry and arms.
They handle the sales and transportation of items such as individual armor, interstellar shuttles, individual weapons, and military parts.
They only sell finished interstellar warships; they never touch them.
Even though many people have hinted at the idea of selling their interstellar warships to Fairy Flower's interstellar trading group, or cooperating with Fairy Flower to establish a starship interstellar trading group.
Without exception, all of them were rejected by the Flower Fairy Federation tribe.
Even though everyone knows that the sale of interstellar warships is the most profitable segment of arms sales.
The Fairy Federation tribe wouldn't do this either.
This is seen by many as cowardly, timid, and hesitant behavior.
However, Zhao Chen was well aware of the reason.
Zhao Chen understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
Once a space trader within the Fairy Federation tribe gains control of the interstellar warship sales channel, people will begin to fear and be wary of the Fairy Federation tribe.
If you sell my enemy finished interstellar warships instead of selling them to me.
Or, to put it another way, you sell finished interstellar warships to both me and my enemy.
The Fairy Federation tribe may claim to be permanently neutral, but their finished interstellar warships have undoubtedly crossed the line for many interstellar powers.
Therefore, from these points, it can be seen that the Flower Fairy Federation tribe are cautious people. They are never greedy, and they know very well what they should and can do!
What absolutely must not be touched.
It is through this understanding that the Flower Fairy Federation tribe has been able to reach where it is today.
"Is it just that the amount of cargo being transported has increased?" someone questioned.
Hanaya Nini replied, "At least that's the case based on the information we have so far."
However, we cannot rule out the possibility that within that target universe, there might be military forces intentionally attempting to attack us.
Hanaya Nini's words were quite clever.
But no one present was a fool; they understood some of the meaning behind it.
It's simply that the goods they're transporting have infringed upon the interests of some interstellar powers, so they're highly likely to be attacked.
Attacks on the interstellar transport fleet of the Fairy Flower Federation tribe are actually quite common.
Especially in some high-risk universes that are in a state of prolonged war.
Because in such high-risk universes, there are often many interstellar forces.
The Fairy Federation's external relations network is mainly divided into several types.
The core customers are nothing more than the upstream manufacturers that can provide goods, and most of these upstream manufacturers are high-level interstellar civilizations living in a relatively peaceful environment.
The Fairy Federation tribes often sign a non-aggression agreement with these core clients. The content is very simple: both parties to the contract agree not to attack each other's interstellar fleets.
In return for signing this contract with the Fairy Flower Federation, the Fairy Flower Federation will also offer some benefits, such as concessions in interstellar trade.
This naturally pleased their core clients, since they didn't have any enemies at the moment.
In addition to these, there are also midstream and downstream customers.
The explanation of mid- and downstream customers is quite simple: they are customers who can provide goods and also purchase goods, as well as customers who can only purchase goods.
The latter are often located in high-risk universes, so these clients naturally wouldn't sign such contracts with the Fairy Federation tribe.
Because their enemies might purchase the necessary supplies from the Fairy Federation tribes, as long as they haven't signed such a contract.
Even if they did attack the Flower Fairy Federation's interstellar transport fleet, the Flower Fairy Federation would not retaliate afterward.
Of course, there is a default condition in this.
In non-combat situations, it is forbidden to harm members and staff of the Flower Fairy Federation tribe without cause.
This led to a situation where, in some attacks on interstellar transport fleets belonging to the Fairy Federation tribes, these interstellar transport fleets only needed to surrender.
The attackers will treat the staff of the Flower Fairy Federation tribe very kindly and send them all back safely.
The contract with the Fairy Federation tribes also stipulates that if it is confirmed that there is no ability to resist during the delivery of goods, the delivery mission can be considered a failure, and the relevant personnel can abandon the goods and surrender directly.
It is these rules and regulations of the Flower Fairy Federation Tribe that have allowed it to develop to this day.
Some might ask, what about the customers who placed those orders? Won't they be angry about this?
There was definitely anger.
However, there is more helplessness than anything else. But the Fairy Federation tribe will also provide some compensation, such as refunding all payments after deducting costs.
With this compensation, everyone naturally tolerated this.
Do any of you still have questions?
"If not, then we will send you all a formal contract," Hanaya Nini said, looking at everyone.
"I have no objection."
"I can accept it."
Let's set off early.
"Hehehe, when the escort is completed, can you give me some extra money?"
Most people have accepted these conditions by default.
Lilith naturally did not refuse.
Soon, contracts were sent to the commanders of the ten mercenary fleets.
Lilith glanced at him and then looked at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen nodded.
Lilith then signed the contract.
"This escort contract is for a total of half a month."
Half a month.
Zhao Chen thought about it and figured that Lilith and Charlotte were doing it at the same time anyway.
If we can really form an alliance with the Fairy Flower Federation tribe, then these two weeks won't be a big deal.
"What is the identity of this Hua Ya Nini?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
Lilith pulled up a document and explained, "The younger sister of the head of the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group, a major interstellar trader in the Fairy Fairy Federation tribes."
Upon hearing about the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group, Zhao Chen immediately understood Lilith's intentions.
Because the person in charge of this Bailan Interstellar Trade Group was one of the candidates previously recommended by the Azure Water Elf King.
