21st Century Necromancer
Chapter 827 - 823: Interests

The conditions proposed by the Americans made Chen Yu's eyes flicker. Regarding this highest scientific research award for humanity, he had planned to win it when he decided to study medicine.

Although, with his current research achievements, winning the award is already a certainty, it wouldn't hurt to save some effort, would it? What's more, there's Hiromi Jounouchi on the other side; women do have some disadvantages when it comes to winning the Nobel Prize.

"If it's just about exchanging patent licenses, that's negotiable." Chen Yu gave a positive response, but his attitude towards the other two conditions was firm: "However, I will not give you the method to summon a demigod, just like countries would never give away their nuclear launch codes; there's no room for negotiation on this point."

In the face of such a firm refusal from Chen Yu, the two envoys were not surprised. In fact, this condition was listed knowing it would be rejected. Their real aim was to restrict Chen Yu from summoning any more demigods, at least to make him outwardly acknowledge the P5's oversight.

After all, if Chen Yu continued to summon demigods, then it would be meaningless to distinguish between Russia and the United States; he would have more demigods under his command than the rest of the world combined unless a World War III broke out. Otherwise, the P5 have no means to control and limit him.

So, even knowing that the so-called oversight might eventually turn out to be merely symbolic, Russia and the United States, after discussions with the other three major powers, still wanted to obtain this oversight authority, or at least in name. This way, when Chen Yu summons new demigods, they would have an excuse to intervene.

Although everyone knew that having an excuse to intervene and having the capability to intervene were two entirely different matters.

"We can forego the method for summoning demigods, but please accept the oversight of the P5, as being able to increase demigod combat power at any time is indeed too great a threat to world peace and stability." The U.S. Special Envoy adopted a high-sounding attitude, trying to coerce Chen Yu under the guise of world peace.

However, Chen Yu merely glanced at him askance and said irritably, "When you Americans stop causing trouble worldwide, then the world will truly be at peace."

Chen Yu's words left the U.S. Special Envoy speechless, but he really couldn't find a reason to refute. Diplomatic rhetoric might fool the uninformed public, but anyone with a bit of political analytical ability knows that the United States is the source of global unrest. To use such rhetoric to fool a demigod?

That's not the right way to court death.

Seeing the American fall silent, Chen Yu turned his gaze to the Russian envoy and asked, "The Akula-class attack submarine, your Tsar is really generous, but what if I want the Typhoon instead?"

"That's absolutely impossible!" Even before the Russian could speak, the American exclaimed, "That's a strategic nuclear submarine! That is..."

The U.S. Special Envoy couldn't finish his sentence because both Missouri and Kirov, standing beside him, were looking at him with dangerous eyes, their unabashed demigod-level aura oppressing him to the point that even breathing felt difficult, his face turning as purple as an eggplant.

"Enough, let him go, after all, this is someone else's place, killing someone would be unlucky." Chen Yu casually stopped Missouri and Kirov from suffocating the U.S. Special Envoy, then turned his gaze to the Russian. He was still waiting for the Russian's answer.

Facing Chen Yu's gaze and the two ship-girls beside him, the Russian envoy didn't look at the U.S. Special Envoy, who was still gasping at the table, but wiped the sweat off his forehead with his handkerchief before replying, "Sorry, I haven't been authorized regarding the Typhoon-class strategic nuclear submarine, but before coming here, His Majesty the Tsar said everything is negotiable."

"Everything is negotiable? Truly worthy of the Great Emperor, truly bold and broad-minded!" Chen Yu praised, but did not pursue the matter further. He just tapped the second article on the document with his finger: "Summon two demigods for both your countries? Has this condition been agreed upon by the other three major powers?"

In fact, the question almost didn't need an answer, as there was no way the UK, France, and China would agree to terms that would drastically alter the balance of top strategic forces.

Indeed, in the previous discussions, if the British hadn't acquired Britain's Guardian God HMS Victory, there was no way Russia and the U.S. could have listed this condition. How could the other three countries allow Russia and the U.S. to add four demigods?

But with the example of HMS Victory, Russia and the U.S. had enough excuse to write this condition in the terms.

As for why Russia and the U.S. each get two demigods? Well, there should always be some room for bargaining, right?

"We have already obtained the principle approval of the three countries for this." The U.S. Special Envoy, who had caught his breath, was diligently pulling at his collar, as if doing so would make breathing easier, but he still answered Chen Yu's question in a rather weak and hoarse voice.

"Principle approval? Haha, I see." Chen Yu nodded slightly, looking again at the Russian and American envoys, and said, "Do you still have warships worthy of summoning? Just to clarify, if you want a demigod, give me a renowned historical warship, those that shone over the centuries and are repeatedly mentioned even today, or ships of significant historical importance.

Otherwise, modern warships can be summoned too, but the result would only be legendary."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he didn't wait for the two envoys to answer, and left the conference room with Missouri and Kirov. But before leaving, he turned back to the two envoys and said, "By the way, I can help you summon one demigod, but only one. As to whether it's for the United States or Russia... haha..."

Leaving behind a meaningful smile, Chen Yu left the conference room. Outside, a representative sent by the Japanese government bowed to him respectfully, clearly having waited for a long time: "Your Excellency the Demigod, His Majesty the Emperor wishes to invite you to dinner. May I ask if you would honor us with your presence?"

"The Emperor? The new Emperor or the old Emperor?" Chen Yu playfully asked in response to the invitation.

However, he didn't wait for a reply, instead, he directly said, "Where is the location? I'm not really in the mood for Japanese food today. Is there Western food?"

The person sent by the Japanese government hurriedly led the way, gesturing invitingly: "It's His Majesty the Emperor of Reiwa, after the Emperor of Heisei's abdication, he no longer involves himself in state affairs. As for the location of the dinner, it is at the Rentei Pavilion in the Imperial Palace."

"Rentei Pavilion? I thought it would be the Houmei-den, but it doesn't matter, lead the way." Chen Yu chuckled and followed the Japanese government representative, leaving the building where the conference room was located, while behind him, the Russian and American envoys, once united against a common adversary, had now turned wary of each other.
