Chapter 1073: Entrustment in Exchange for Rescue

After Elder Grey Falcon arrived at the Foreign Affairs Embassy, he was invited to the dome hall with a very federal architectural style.

Here he met Captain Xie who was waiting there. He immediately raised the snake staff in his hand, opened his arms, put one hand on his cheek, leaned forward, and performed the traditional greeting of the Chu people.

In the past, when he faced the foreign affairs officials of Dashun, he always upheld the traditional etiquette of the Chu people, apparently for the dignity of his own ethnic group.

However, the Dashun foreign affairs officials standing on both sides all knew that when facing federal officials, he would use a handshake instead.

Captain Xie smiled and bowed. When the reporters from both sides finished taking photos of the meeting, he was invited to sit aside. Their translators and attendants also sat aside. The recorder first nodded and took out a notebook to record.

The two men first exchanged some polite words using foreign affairs terms, and talked about some words recalling their past friendship. Then Elder Grey Falcon stated the purpose of this trip.

"Thank you, Captain. We need a lot of weapons and more implants. Of course, we need more medicines. Lots of medicines."

The Kawatua are no longer the indigenous armed forces that people used to think of. Many of their warriors are equipped with advanced implants and protective clothing, and they have also trained a new army under the guidance of Dashun military and technical officials.

There are now at least two million people gathered on the entire Life Plateau, and all the trained Holy Land warriors are elites, otherwise the West Coast Party would not have been forced to mobilize the Secret Temple fighters this time.

However, the primitive people do not have the technology to build their own industrial system, so so many equipment and implants need to be purchased from outside, especially medicines.

The side effects of implants are very serious. The products provided by Dashun cannot be high-end products. A large amount of inhibitors must be used. They actually bought some through the black market and foreign smuggling channels, but the price is unstable, the quantity is small, and the price is high, which is not enough to satisfy them.

Captain Xie knew that he hadn't finished speaking yet, so he smiled and said nothing, while the clerk next to him was taking notes without even raising his head.

Elder Grey Falcon said, "We also hope that your country can provide more new technology and equipment. Over the years, the Federation's technology has advanced rapidly, with an endless stream of implants. Almost every year, new things appear, which are many generations ahead of us, so we are in urgent need of upgrading. And our Holy Land warriors are also lacking the necessary training drugs due to the Federation's blockade. Some food supplies are sufficient, but many unique things are difficult for us to obtain..."

Captain Xie listened patiently without interrupting him. He waited until he finished speaking before speaking: "I know Elder Grey Falcon's request, but I want to ask, what are you going to use to compensate for these things?"

Although Dashun was providing support, they would not ask for no collateral at all, and Kavatuya also promised that all of this would be returned in the future.

Elder Gray Falcon said: "We are willing to give another Holy Valley."

Captain Xie said, "Elder Grey Falcon, I need to remind you that some of the holy places you said you would mortgage to us are now under the control of the Federation, and there is almost no way to redeem them. So in fact, we have been assisting you for free."

Elder Hui Falcon immediately said, "We appreciate Dashun's support, but our presence is also beneficial to Dashun. We have contained the Federation's power for Dashun. In the past, Dashun was able to gain so many benefits at sea because we were behind them. The Federation had no way to fully project its power outside."

He emphasized: "The stronger Kawartua is, the greater the benefit to Dashun. Supporting us is beneficial to both sides."

Captain Xie looked at him. He did not deny that Kavatua's existence did have its uses, but...

“I need to remind Elder Grey Falcon that in the past, you have always been in a state of retreat, allowing the Federation to attack you without any strategic initiative.

As we acquire the outer islands, if you do not actively make changes, your role in the eyes of Dashun will decrease year by year, unless you can be more proactive. This is not alarmist, nor is it a threat to you, but it is the reality. "

In the past, apart from heroes like Ahtawa, few of the Chu people would take the initiative to attack. Especially after a large number of tribes moved to Kawartua with the help of Dashun and gained a peaceful and stable life, they were rarely willing to fight again. Most of the time, they just waited for the West Coast of the Federation to attack them again and again.

In fact, the small tribes that have been forced to fight over the years have caused greater losses to the Federation, because if they don't fight, they will really die.

Elder Gray Falcon pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "We can send Tanoka Quezka's child to Dashun."

"Ok?"

Captain Xie was a little surprised. Tanoka Quetzka was not an ordinary person, but the high priest of Kavatua. In the beliefs of the primitive people, natural gods were very important, and the high priest monopolized the power of sacrifice, and passed on his bloodline from generation to generation with blood rituals.

And this offspring is almost the next generation high priest. As far as he knows, this child is only seven or eight years old at most and can still be shaped. If he is sent to Dashun... this move will be of great significance.

Moreover, once this condition was proposed, it was not decided by him alone. Based on his understanding of the top management and taking various factors into consideration, it is very likely that the top management will agree to it this time.

He took a deep look at Elder Grey Falcon. This elder no longer looked like a native of the primitive race, but more like a politician. They knew how to grasp the key context and knew what they wanted.

He said, "Elder Huishun, I cannot give you an immediate response to this matter, and I have a lot of things to do today. Elder Huishun and your entourage, please stay in the Foreign Affairs Embassy first. It is safe here and you can rest assured."

Elder Gray Falcon knew that today's conversation was over. He stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Captain Xie, for your hospitality and listening. May all spirits bless you."

Captain Xie thanked them and stood up to see them off. After they left, an officer came up and whispered something to them. Captain Xie asked, "Is everyone still here?"

The officer said: "After the people arrived, they kept waiting outside. They may have been spotted by the Operations Department."

Captain Xie said, "Arrange them to come in through the side door, then call a group of other members of the First People, distribute gifts according to etiquette, and then let them stay for the time being."

The officer asked: "Captain, should we place them in..."

Captain Xie shook his head and said, "Don't put them together with the people from Gray Falcon. We don't need to use these methods."

The clerk understood what he meant and said, "I'll make the arrangements."

Captain Xie had a lot to do. From yesterday till now, people kept visiting him, and he had to sign and confirm various documents. He was busy until after nine o'clock in the evening, when he had a chance to drink some water. He then took a stimulating pill and asked someone to call all the representatives of these small tribes over.

Because there were only a dozen people, they were all invited up, including the child Awan, who was not left outside, and each person was given a chair, which surprised and touched them all.

Captain Xie first asked about the origins of each of them, talked to them about the situation of the tribe, and then asked them about their purpose.

The primitive people, including Tahu, actually seldom interact with the outside world, mainly because the federal people are very hostile to them, and if they go too far, they may be captured or killed.

They had no idea what to ask for help, and they didn't even dare to make too many requests. In the end, what the people of these tribes requested together was nothing compared to what Kawatua asked for. Even the number of weapons and implants discarded by a medium-sized company each year would exceed this number.

Captain Xie said: "I understand your request, but we will not give aid for free. We must exchange things for it, even our support for Kawartua is the same."

In fact, Dashun doesn’t really care about this, especially such a small amount of things, but no one will cherish support without cost, and by doing so, the other party will not feel that it is a charity.

Sure enough, after he said this, the beginners present found it acceptable.

The one-eyed elder immediately said solemnly: "We understand. Akhtawa told us that we brought something to exchange this time."

Suddenly, three people, including himself, Tahu, and a strong man from another tribe, took out three pieces of obsidian and put them together to form an obsidian spearhead with a slight gap.

Interestingly, when put together, the spearheads close on their own, with only a tiny seam visible at the joint.

The one-eyed elder said: "This is the key to our holy land, the Holy Valley of the Throat of the Star Spirit. There are many items dedicated to the gods in the holy land. The priests have promised that when we encounter a crisis, the gods will return them to the descendants of the tribe.

Although the ancient gods no longer respond to us, the first people, they have helped our ancestors, so we will not take them, but we are willing to exchange them for the materials we need."

"Throat of the Star Spirit..."

Captain Xie was a little surprised, because Kawatua had actually mortgaged the Holy Valley to them, and in name it already belonged to Dashun.

Although they have not opened it due to various restrictions, you can't give me something that already belongs to me again.

So he told me about the situation.

The first people present were confused at first, and then the one-eyed elder said excitedly and angrily: "The Throat of the Stars is the holy land of the Isutar people, not the Zarte people!"

The rest of the people also shouted excitedly: "Yes, that is not the Zatai people's thing, they have no right to give it away!"

The Chu people did not have a unified country in ancient history. There were three powerful dynasties: the Zait Dynasty in the north, the Quetzalek Dynasty in the east that fled to Dashun, and the Isutar Dynasty in the south.

Strictly speaking, the current Kawartua are mainly descendants of the Zait dynasty, and everything in the south has nothing to do with them.

Of course, it is also possible that Kavatua, as the largest force among the Chu people today, naturally regarded these as its own things after the collapse of several dynasties, and then mortgaged them without any regrets.

"Besides, they don't have the key!" The one-eyed elder raised the obsidian spearhead in his hand. "Without this, they won't be recognized by their ancestors and gods! It doesn't belong to them!"
