Chapter 1662: Kaifeng City Military Alliance Meeting
Xiaolong Interstellar Empire - Kaifeng Galaxy - Kaifeng City
Kaifeng was one of the earliest four cities of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire and held a pivotal position within it.
Most importantly, there are numerous military bases and training grounds surrounding the Kaifeng City star system.
Basically, all interstellar warships that are built and put into service will undergo trial voyages or simulated exercises in the star systems surrounding the Kaifeng City system.
This has led to a popular saying that Kaifeng is the second largest military city of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
Kaifeng, a city that is usually quite low-key, welcomed many visitors on this day.
Many starships from various interstellar civilizations were docked in the shipyard of Kaifeng City, and the delegations from various parties disembarked and headed to their destinations under the guidance of the staff.
Their destination was the first conference room in Kaifeng.
"This is the famous interstellar city of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire."
"This is truly completely different." The Supreme Commander of Burns looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but praise it.
The Supreme Secretary Burns, standing nearby, nodded in agreement: "Yes, regarding this interstellar city, although it was mentioned in the documents earlier."
I've seen some holographic images before, but none of them are nearly as impressive as seeing them in person.
It's worth noting that the Dragon Star Empire has a total of five cities like this.
They even built one for the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group.
This gives a glimpse into the military strength of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
Having said all that...
The Chief Secretary of the Burns Society paused, looked at the Consul, leaned forward, and whispered, "Sir, you are personally attending this meeting this time."
Isn't it a bit too conspicuous?
After all, you are the person of the highest status in our Burns interstellar civilization.
"Meetings like this could easily be handled by the officials in charge of that aspect of our Burns Interstellar Civilization, or even by me."
What the Secretary General of Burns said was actually correct. Although Burns's status as the Supreme Governor was not as high as that of the Dragon Emperor or the five Elf Kings of the Holy Elf Empire.
However, it is also one of the top interstellar civilizations.
It is said that Emperor Xiaolong of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire will not personally attend this meeting they are participating in.
The Holy Elf Empire also only had one Elf King present.
Therefore, their Burns interstellar civilization had absolutely no need to arrange for a supreme ruler to attend.
Burns, the Supreme Commander, glanced at his secretary and said calmly, "I know that the Dragon Emperor will not attend this meeting."
But that doesn't mean we'll never see this Emperor of the Dragons.
Go and make arrangements to apply for a meeting with this Emperor Xiaolong.
The previous meeting was too rushed.
This was our first real meeting.
Prior to this, we had a significant collaboration with the interstellar investment bank of the Dragon Star Empire.
It's time for our two top leaders to meet.
Upon hearing this, Secretary General Burns suddenly realized what was happening.
In fact, this meeting is just a pretext for their own ruler.
He was actually after the Dragon Emperor.
Attending this meeting was just a side event, and also a way to show support for the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
“I understand. I’ll have someone arrange it right away,” Burns, the chief secretary, said immediately.
Soon, under the guidance of the staff of Kaifeng City, they arrived.
Two high-ranking officials from the Burns Interstellar Civilization arrived at the meeting venue.
This is a very solemn place. The interior of the conference room has a funnel-shaped structure and is made of some kind of brick and stone, giving people a solemn and dignified feeling. Several Roman columns stand there.
There are also statues of warriors from different eras, giving the impression that this is not a conference room, but a dueling arena from the ancient times of some civilization.
Stepping into this place, one is immediately struck by a somber atmosphere.
This aligns perfectly with the theme of this conference.
"My lords, your seats are at the very front, and there are nameplates on your chairs."
"I'll drop you off here." The staff member pointed to the front of the room.
"Thank you." The Supreme Commander of Burns was completely unpretentious, nodding with a smile.
Then he walked down with his secretary.
Along the way, the two seemed nonchalant, but their eyes had actually scanned all the people who had arrived in the hall.
"It seems someone arrived even earlier than us."
Fifteen minutes before the meeting is scheduled to begin, the room is already nearly full.
Basically, all the top officials from various factions are here, either the supreme leaders or the representatives with the highest military power. "The Supreme Secretary Burns whispered in the consul's ear.
At least half of the attendees were wearing military uniforms.
As they walked to their seats, the other attendees, who had already taken their seats, were also observing them.
Some of the representatives had contact with the Burns interstellar civilization, knew these two people, and would nod in acknowledgment.
The two of them would nod in return.
The Burns Chief Executive and the Burns Chief Secretary were both seated in [N O V E L I G H T] their respective positions.
Looking around, it's quite obvious that the seating arrangements for the people in the room are clearly differentiated.
The innermost circle consists of prominent figures whose interstellar civilizations, if not T6 level, are at least established T5 interstellar civilizations.
Based on their strength, they will gradually be ranked in the outer circle.
Burns, the chief secretary, glanced around and basically recognized the identities of everyone in the innermost circle.
He glanced at the Supreme Ruler beside him and quietly activated a shielding field, which merely surrounded the two of them.
"It seems that the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire classifies all interstellar civilizations based on their comprehensive strength, not just their military strength."
It is divided into ten levels in total.
This corresponds perfectly to the ten concentric circles that form the inside out of the meeting space.
The inner circle contains T6-level interstellar civilizations and near-T6-level interstellar civilizations, as well as some established T5 interstellar civilizations with top-tier overall strength.
There are exactly six, and if you include the Dragon Star Empire itself, that makes seven.
According to the strength ranking of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, this belongs to level one.
If you look further down...
A Tier 2 civilization is an interstellar civilization with a certain level of technology (T5).
A Tier 3 civilization is an interstellar civilization at the early stages of the T5 technology level.
Level 4 civilizations include near-T5 technological civilizations as well as some long-established, highly capable T4 interstellar civilizations.
A Level 5 civilization is an interstellar civilization with T4 technology.
A Level 6 civilization is an interstellar civilization at the early stage of the T4 technology level.
Level 6 civilizations are interstellar civilizations with near-T4 technology, as well as some long-established interstellar civilizations with strong overall capabilities at the T3 technology level.
A Level 7 civilization is an interstellar civilization with T3 technology.
A Level 8 civilization is an interstellar civilization at the early stage of the T3 technology level.
Level 9 civilizations include interstellar civilizations with T3 technology and those below that level.
Level 10 civilizations are rather unique; they don't qualify as interstellar civilizations, and their technology level doesn't reach T4, but they are still considered quite successful interstellar powers.
Burns, the Supreme Secretary, began to speak.
The Supreme Administrator of Burns scanned the seven positions in the innermost circle, each of which held a small flag representing one of the seven interstellar civilizations.
The Dragon Star Empire and the Holy Elf Empire undoubtedly occupy the two inner circle seats.
The Burns interstellar civilization is a near-T6 interstellar civilization, and naturally occupies one of its places.
The remaining four seats belong to the Mahas Interstellar Empire, although the Mahas Interstellar Empire had some conflicts with the Wyvern Interstellar Empire in the past.
However, the Majas interstellar empire is, after all, an old T5 interstellar civilization, and it does indeed have the strength and status to sit here.
Furthermore, there is the Mohadis Interstellar Empire, which is currently also moving towards becoming a T6 interstellar civilization. The reason it was selected is somewhat similar to that of the Fire Emblem Interstellar Alliance, namely, the influence of the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire behind it.
There's also the Dalaran Interstellar United Civilization, which, as the name suggests, is also a near-T6 level interstellar civilization, which is why it was selected.
The Scorching Holy Hammer Free Federation is the last interstellar civilization located in the inner circle, and it is merely a T5-level interstellar civilization.
In fact, there are quite a few people who have reservations about its placement in this position.
But it does indeed have that qualification.
Although it does not possess near-T6 level technological capabilities, its military strength is also weak.
However, as everyone knows, the Free Federation of Blazing Holy Hammer has a very strong interstellar industrial capability. In addition, with the cooperation between it and the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire, its interstellar industrial capability has been greatly enhanced, and it even has a tendency to surpass the Holy Elf Empire and be second only to the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire.
With the support of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire, it was only natural for the Blazing Holy Hammer Free Federation to occupy this position.
Outside the inner circle, there were also many acquaintances.
Although it is a Level 2 interstellar civilization, the most conspicuous among them is the Fairy Flower Federation tribe!
Logically speaking, this is an interstellar trading tribe, which should be far from being able to sit in this position.
However, with the support of the Dragon Star Empire and the existence of the current Cosmic Trade Alliance, the Fairy Federation tribe has gained an unprecedented status.
It has reached an unprecedented height.
The current economic status of the Fairy Federation tribe alone is enough to shake the market environment of some T5-level interstellar civilizations.
Therefore, no one questions its current status.
Some people might wonder, isn't this a space military alliance?
So why are these interstellar traders here?
Initially, some people had doubts about this, but it was quickly established through discussion.
How could a space military alliance be without interstellar trade? In fact, military trade in this area is inseparable from interstellar traders.
Instead of contacting interstellar traders later, it's better to bring them into our alliance now.
This makes arranging things more convenient.
The Flower Fairy Federation tribe naturally did not refuse such a request.
Representing the Fairy Flower Federation tribe at this meeting were naturally the two CEOs of the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group.
And their location, whether by coincidence or not, was exactly behind the representatives of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire at this conference.
This is as if to declare that the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group and the Fairy Flower Federation Tribe are both under the protection of my Dragon Owl Interstellar Empire.
Looking at other Level 2 interstellar civilizations, it's quite clear that there are some differences in this area. Even among Level 2 interstellar civilizations, there are differences in strength.
This is also closely related to the seating arrangement.
Some of the stronger ones will be located closer to the location of the first-level interstellar civilizations, behind the seven first-level interstellar civilizations.
For example, there is another faction behind the Dragon Star Empire.
That is the Fire Emblem Interstellar Alliance. The main reason why the Fire Emblem Interstellar Alliance was able to enter the second-level interstellar civilization circle is actually because of its huge size.
It is an interstellar force formed by the alliance of numerous interstellar civilizations, and if you were to single out the strongest interstellar civilization among them, it would definitely not be qualified.
Furthermore, the Fire Emblem Interstellar Alliance has made rapid progress in recent years, with all aspects developing rapidly.
Especially after joining the Space Trade Alliance, they were extremely enthusiastic and made a lot of profits from it.
The most important reason why the Fire Emblem Interstellar Alliance can sit in this position is actually because the Fire Emblem Interstellar Alliance was once supported by the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire.
"The Emperor of the Dragons did not come this time."
Although this Cosmic Military Alliance Conference was held in the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire, it was chaired by Saloman, the Flame Elf King of the Holy Elf Empire.
The representatives from the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire attending the meeting were the Empire's Marshals: Zhao Ruyue, Medusa, and Shen Bing. Secretary General Burns looked at the three representatives from the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
The marshals of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire are now household names in the known universe.
Everyone knows it.
Many people's attention will also be drawn to these three marshals of the Xiaolong Empire.
The three marshals of the Dragon Empire sat there calmly, completely unconcerned about the gazes around them.
"Just follow the steps once the meeting starts."
Lord Salamander, the Flame Elf King, will speak first, and then it will be our turn to speak, Dragonflight Interstellar Empire.
Shen Bing, you will come up on stage.
"Just follow the draft we agreed on beforehand." Marshal Zhao Ruyue looked at Marshal Shen Bing, who seemed a little nervous.
Marshal Medusa, standing nearby, jokingly remarked, "Shen Bing, aren't you nervous when you're commanding hundreds of thousands of interstellar warships in battle?"
Why are you getting nervous now that you're about to speak on stage?
Shen Bing said helplessly, "Commanding a battle is commanding a battle, and making a statement is making a statement."
Two different things.
This is the first time I've ever done something like this.
