A Deal Has Been Made

George also told them about his colleague who got transmigrated here in this world. Hoping to get more information about the cause of transmigration. The Empress just nodded and leaned forward. “Hmm, so the seven of you died and got transmigrated here suddenly?” “That’s exactly what I’ve said.” Then the meeting began to turn to serious mode. “Okay, George, I will tell you something that is considered classified to our country.” When she said that, her sister and chancellor were surprised. “Your Majesty, you can't, those are our most guarded secrets. You can’t tell them without the permission of the council.” “No, her Majesty is right. Since they were transported here unknowingly and they sought answers.” “Okay, I will begin. The Empire relied mostly on the summoned. What I meant in the `summoned` is literally what it is. The Empire conducts a ritual that will summon a person from another world. Most of them were dead in their previous world but some of them are alive. Then we will place them in necessary positions that will utilize their knowledge to empower the empire. And so it has become traditional. The summoned people were seen as heroes in our country. They were highly praised due to their extensive knowledge not known to us. They are called the Council of the Summoned Beings. Their age ranges from 16 to 25 years old. In short, they are young people who possess what you call modern knowledge.” Hearing her explanation. There is one thing that he’s certain. They are using those so-called ‘summoned’ to improve the aspect of their lives. The technology they bring gave their country a huge impact. But there is something peculiar in her story. She said that their age is around 16-25 years old which is so young to possess knowledge on creating a warship. Who are just those people? “In addition, those summoned beings came from a modern world but in a different universe. Meaning we came to the same era but different. It’s also the reason why I don’t know you since we came from different universes.” Everything seems to be getting clearer to George. Summoning is common here but how many of them are there? And why’s the eastern continent seems to have the capability to do so? “Then, why can’t this kingdom summon someone?” He asked. “I'm sorry but we cannot tell that to you as that information is confidential.” “I’m sorry” .... George has no choice but to accept. But the truth is just there and they can study the process in the future. For now. “Okay, setting that aside, why don’t we push forward to what your purpose here is?” The real agenda started and Empress Andrea began to speak. “We need your help on two things. Modern knowledge in medicine and technology that the council of the summoned beings doesn’t know. In exchange, we will pay you the amount you wish of.” “Hoh? So you want our knowledge? Well, it can’t be helped since they were just young. But when you proposed modern medicine you created an involuntary reaction. Is there something wrong?” Hearing that Andrea’s eyelid rises. Indicating something like a “How did he know?” expression. “Let me guess, is there a medical situation happening in your country?” But the three didn’t answer. So, George continued. “Okay, staring at me dumbly like that gives me enough information.” He said in a haughty tone. “Is it perhaps, there is a medical crisis?” Then, their eyes jerked slightly. That’s the reaction George wants to see. “Is it an epidemic?” Then boom. George was hinted at with information. “What the? Are you serious?” The three can’t help but sigh. This man is as dangerous as he can predict or read their mind like a book. “It is as you said. It was an epidemic and we need your help to create a cure. We already created countermeasures so they cannot spread throughout the continent. This epidemic is hindering our progress in defeating the demon kingdom.” The Empress concluded but George was not satisfied. “That’s all? I believe you have something to say more right? Please spell it out so we can help.” Really? This guy is really dangerous that his chancellor was trembling in his presence. Just how powerful is the president of the modern world. Or should I say the leader of the free world? His insight and precognition are really dangerous. He then looked to her side. That was her little sister who seems to be silent all the time. Not completely silent though as he voices out his opinion on declassifying the information earlier. “As expected, your sister is feeling ill? I do have a doctor here that can check her up if you don’t mind.” “Really? Then please do so! I don’t care how much the payment is.” With that, George picked his phone and called the secretary of health. John Hughe. “Is that a smartphone?” Kazuma's eyes opened wide when he witnessed the design of the phone. ‘It is, this is a 4G type phone.” He flaunted, “But, they are not yet introduced since we lack the facility to run the 4G phone. But it’s part of our revitalization act that focuses on ‘Digital’.” “You mean you will create cellular towers? Satellites?” “Yes.” His question was answered instantly as if they were confident that it would work. If they were to create those things such as satellites and communications technology. Then the battle for espionage will be one-sided. However, they have a similar enemy that needs attention. The Demon Empire. “What is he talking about Kazuma?” The Empress who heard their conversation can’t help but ask curiously. “Those were the tools in another world that can be used to contact someone despite the distance infinitely. For example, I can contact them using that phone while I’m at the Empire.” “What a powerful device! It is similar to the radio that the council created.” “Yes it's similar but that phone is widely used by the populace. It’s one of the personal items of every individual in the modern world. You can stay in touch with your friends and families and also see each other face thru live-chat.” “Live-chat?” “If you want to see it badly on how it works. Why don't we stand united against the demons by helping each other? This is a time where humanity must unite against common enemies and ideology has no place here. We can exchange information with each other and improve the way of life of our people” George proposed. After he concluded, the three immediately gave him a surprised look. It was quite easy since that was their goal in the first place. To attain their knowledge. But the ideologies of the West and the East are still precarious. But what if the two influential countries were to ally themselves? “That’s right. I’m suggesting an alliance of the Empire of Baharuth and Kingdom of Ametus. In that way, we can push forward on revitalization plans, and heck you can even adapt it. We will do whatever we can to help you modernize and teach you things that the young’uns don’t know “In our previous world. Each country believes that peace is the only way we can move forward. We learned from our mistakes such as world war 1 and 2 where millions were killed because of a certain country that wants to conquer the world and looked at how it got us. Deaths.” “He’s right, your Majesty,” Kazuma added. “Andrea, look. We also want to defeat the demons but due to our capability. We can’t help you yet. We are still in the middle of modernizing the army but after receiving a report where you have world war two battleships. I think you can handle it on your own and utterly defeat the demon kingdom. You have the power to prove that the east is better but you didn’t. I know that you want what I’m proposing and I’m giving it to you.” Still, Andrea is not answering. Maybe pondering her thoughts. Seeing her contemplated expression. George can’t help but sigh. “Then, let me add something in the proposal. We will give you humanitarian aid to battle the epidemic your country is currently facing. My minister of health is talented in different areas of medicine. I’m sure and confident that he will solve your health crisis and create a prevention plan and cure for it. Please, Andrea.” This is the last time that he will offer like this again. If Andrea doesn’t want the proposal then he can’t help them. He can’t help a country that considers them as enemies despite the situation of mankind. Then he urges again. “I have an influence all over the continent in exchange for our technology. I can represent the west while your country can represent the east. I’m sure that would be easy since you’re the world superpower. If the two strongest countries agree on an alliance. Then the rest of the country will move in our actions and will follow. “ Everyone was looking at the Empress, waiting for her answer. If she were to answer yes then it would have a huge impact on the world. But if she says no then an inevitable war between two continents will erupt as soon as possible. Even if there is still a demon empire threatening humanity. Humanity will look stupid to the eyes of demons. Andrea puffed her chest out and began to speak. “Alliances between two continents? Interesting. The Empire of Baharuth agrees to your proposal.” After she said that. An overwhelming victory feels surging in their body wants to makes them jump in joy. A west and the east alliance that is nonexistent in history. This decision will be the major turning point for humanity. The Demon Empire is doomed if humanity stands against one. “Lumi, create necessary preparation to formally declare our partnership to the Empire of Baharuth!” “Yes sir!” She said proudly and went out to carry out her duties. “You too Kazuma, inform the council and the senates that the Empire of Baharuth will ally itself with the Kingdom of Ametus.” “With pleasure!” Seeing her delighted smile on her face. George can't help but smile. “Why are you smiling like that George? Creepy” Andrea attacked. “I can’t believe that we did something that will have a huge impact on both sides. But we can’t rest easy yet as I believe that there will be opposition. But I’m sure that it will work just fine.” “How can you be so certain of that?” Andrea said incredulously. “It's because of the council of the summoned beings. They came from a world similar to mine and peace is a thing there. I also believed that the council is the most powerful council in your country. If you don’t have them then the settings of your country will be in the late medieval ages. Where you will stand no chance against a demon's where brute strength rules.” “I see, I will love to have a partner like you. You’re so intelligent is immeasurable.” “Hah? Sister, what do you mean partner?” “No, It's not what you think it is.” “The agenda will be prepared as soon as possible Andrea” George interrupted. “I understand.” And to this point. The Kingdom of Ametus and the Empire of Baharuth informally declared each other as allies. In the Empire of Baharuth. The Council of the Summoned Beings is having an emergency meeting about the declaration of an alliance of the Empire of the Kingdom of Ametus. “A report came from Kazuma which is the chancellor of the Empire. He said that the Kingdom of Ametus is governed by another person who seems to be from another world. You will be surprised that seven of them are governing the country and are industrializing so fast as we speak” “Eh? Who might that be?” “We don’t know the other six but we are certain that the King of the Kingdom is governed by the former president of the United States of America.” He declared and the members of the council gasped in surprise.
