Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 45: This plan failed because it was fate~
"But, Uncle Shui, are we really just going to let it go like this?"

Sun Jing couldn't help but ask, with a hint of unwillingness in his tone.

Shui Shuheng smiled slightly, with a deep light flashing in his eyes: "Of course not."

"But Lan Jia is right about one thing. Our East Sea Corps is really a loophole!"

"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Shrek."

Shui Shuheng's old, turbid eyes once again showed a gleam of light, and a hint of hatred flashed across them. He continued: "Since it cannot be contained, then accept it, and then drive the tiger to devour the wolf, and then clean up the inside!"

Sun Jing was able to take the position of deputy director of the Mecha Department not only because of his strong strength, but also because of his exceptionally clear mind.

Shui Shuheng gave him a gentle nod, and he immediately understood the deeper meaning. A flash of enlightenment flashed in Sun Jing's eyes, and then a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Uncle Shui, do you mean to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

"Don't say it so harshly~"

"It's a win-win situation at best."

"The forces behind Blue Armor can continuously expand the market and amass funds. They will definitely not tolerate the impact on Shrek Academy's soul guide market. We can also follow the clues and find the 'leakers' within our ranks!"

Shui Shuheng took a sip of tea, his eyes revealing a hint of shrewdness. He put down the teacup, slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance, as if thinking about something.

"Sun Jing, you have to understand that although our East Sea Corps is nominally a Federation Corps, in reality, the internal factional struggles have never stopped. Shrek Academy's influence has penetrated too deeply, even affecting our core decision-makers. If we don't take action, sooner or later, the East Sea Corps, and even the entire Federation! Will completely become Shrek's puppets."

Sun Jing frowned and clenched his fists unconsciously when he heard this. He knew that what Shui Shuheng said was true, but it was precisely because of this that he felt even more powerless.

The power of Shrek Academy is too great, and it has penetrated almost every corner of the Federation. How easy is it to fight against it?
Although the Sun-Moon Federation had created the War God Temple in an attempt to suppress the Sea God Pavilion, which rivaled Shrek Academy, as high-ranking officials, they all knew that the War God Temple was just that, and was not far from being completely shattered.
"Uncle Shui, do you mean that we use the power behind Lan Jia to contain Shrek?"

Sun Jing asked tentatively.

Shui Shuheng nodded, turned around, and looked at Sun Jing with a sharp gaze: "That's right. The power behind Lan Jia is obviously not simple. Being able to establish a soul guide production line so quickly and bring the product to market is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Instead of making enemies with them, why not cooperate with them temporarily and use their power to weaken Shrek's influence."

Sun Jing was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. "I understand. But will Lan Jia be willing to cooperate with us? His attitude just now was quite tough."

Shui Shuheng smiled slightly, a sly glint in his eyes. "Although Lan Jia is arrogant, he's not a brainless man. The reason he dares to act so recklessly is simply because he has powerful backers behind him. But even so, he can't completely ignore the existence of our East Sea Legion. As long as we offer enough benefits, he will naturally consider cooperating with us."

"Benefit?"

Sun Jing was a little confused, "What benefits can we give him?"

Shui Shuheng smiled, walked over to Sun Jing, and patted him on the shoulder: "We are the first organized legion in the Sun-Moon Federation with mecha units. What benefits do you think we can gain?"

A Deputy Minister of the Mecha Department and a Minister of Information, in some respects, completely controlled a portion of the East Sea Legion's power. Shui Shuheng's words made Sun Jing's eyes light up, and he immediately understood the hidden meaning behind Shui Shuheng's words. As the first fully-fledged mecha unit in the Sun-Moon Federation, the East Sea Legion possessed vast resources and influence, especially in the field of soul guides. The East Sea Legion's technological reserves and production lines were among the best in the Federation. If they could use these resources as bargaining chips to cooperate with the forces behind Blue Armor, a win-win situation was indeed possible.

"Uncle Shui, what you're saying is that we can outsource the development and production of the mechas within the East Sea Academy in exchange for allowing the forces behind Blue Armor to fight against Shrek?"

Sun Jing asked in a low voice, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Shui Shuheng nodded, his tone carrying a hint of meaning. "That's right. The forces behind Lan Jia clearly have a very high demand for soul guide technology, otherwise they wouldn't have established a production line so quickly. And our East Sea Corps' technical reserves in the fields of mecha and soul guides are exactly what they need. As long as we are willing to share some of our technology, or even provide some production lines, they will definitely be willing to cooperate with us."

Sun Jing's mind suddenly cleared up when he heard this, but then he became a little worried. "But, Uncle Shui, if we share this technology, won't it become a disaster? What if they come back to bite us in the future? Wouldn't that be more trouble than good?"

Shui Shuheng smiled slightly, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes. "Sun Jing, you're right. But you have to understand, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. He knows what we want to do, and we also understand what they need, so it's best if we keep our minds to each other."

"Mecha technology, soul guide technology, those sons of bitches from the Sun-Moon Federation Research Institute can't defeat Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect anyway?"

"Since we can spend money to buy the scraps that the Tang Sect deliberately sells to us, why can't we find an ally with enough sincerity to break this situation?"

"Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and even the Spirit Pagoda have all taken root in this land for tens of thousands of years!"

"How many people still remember the glorious days when the Sun-Moon Empire dominated the continent?"

Shui Shuheng is like an old tiger ready to die. He wants to sharpen his blunt claws and re-set his loose fangs. He wants to make the East China Sea Legion, and even the entire Sun-Moon Federation, regain its former glory.

Sun Jing looked at Shui Shuheng's determined eyes, and a surge of pride rose in his heart. He knew that Shui Shuheng's plan, while risky, was the only way to break the deadlock. Rather than sit and wait for death, it was better to take the initiative, even if the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, to fight for a way out.

"Uncle Shui, I understand." Sun Jing took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. "I will carry out your plan. However, on the Lanjia side, we need a suitable middleman to facilitate this cooperation."

Shui Shuheng nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Indeed, the fact that you can have such an idea shows that your decades as deputy minister have not been in vain."

"Isn't there still a Chenzhou in Donghai College? Maybe that mysterious force has already thought of this before us and exposed Chenzhou to us."

"He's truly an opponent with great strategy~"

Shui Shuheng couldn't help but sigh.

"If this plan succeeds, the glory of the Sun-Moon Federation will be great again!"

"This plan failed. It's really fate~"
