The Emperor thought along the lines that Zhuge Liang guided, then realized the full extent of the plan.
"Kong Ming... You mean... We accept their offer and don't veto when they ask for country recognition. So that they will keep their end of the bargain while we keep ours. But they still can't be recognized as a country because of this dispute. And in the end, the deal between Astral Corporation and the Ming Federation will not go through, but they still can't be recognized as a country because of the dispute?" The Emperor concluded.
"That's the gist of it, Your Majesty," Zhuge Liang nodded.
"But will they keep their word? We are doing this to them, I don't think they will silently accept this. They might still sell their weapons to the Ming Federation," the same strategist voiced his concern once again, and the people in the room nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang turned to the strategist.
