Deep Space Fleet

After discovering the fact that the new human civilization might have allies, the skins of more than 20 giant squids all turned black and blue. At the beginning, the squid who swears that the new human civilization is bluffing makes a sound every now and then.

It was obvious that they were in a very bad mood, as bad as it could be. This color seems to be able to pollute the entire pool of water.

However, it is extremely impolite to spit ink into the pool water, just like spitting into someone else's cup in human civilization, and no squid has done this yet.

"Why did they show their cards?"

"I should still...don't want to start a war."

"Find out who their allies are?"

"It's hard! This starry sky is too complicated... There are many, many civilizations, all of which are fictional."

Of course, the Apollo civilization can continue to increase its military strength and continue its own strategic blackmail plan. They also have another battle star, but this other battle star is not directly controlled by their political force. If you ask for help, you will pay a great price.

They can even ask for help from the big forces in the rear... It is only a matter of minutes to crush the new human civilization.

But if there are too many legions gathered in this starry sky, and a decisive battle is fought in advance, it will be completely cheap for other big forces...

With so many civilizations staring at them, they can't wait for the big forces behind the Apollo civilization to get involved. !

"The suzerain civilization will not agree."

"But if we just leave, our political careers are over... We will be called softies."

In this type of civilization, class and class divisions are very strict. It is easy to fall down, but difficult to climb up. And once he falls from this position, it is likely to implicate a series of subordinates behind him, and some people may lose their lives because of it.

They are still unwilling to fail directly.

One of the big squid suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Actually, we don't necessarily have to bear the infamy. We have won a big victory now... Ahem, at least the people have begun to believe in this victory. As long as we get more Military merit, even if you don't get the battle star, you won't be infamous."

"Even if we withdraw our troops, we should blackmail them severely before we leave! The other party exposed their hole cards, indicating that they are unwilling to go to war directly. As long as we have enough spoils, our position can still be preserved."

That's true!

As long as they don't return empty-handed, have enough records, and add a plausible excuse, withdrawing troops is actually not a big problem.

"Then... send them a signal for political consultation!"

...

In the past few days, Zhang Yuan spent almost all of his nightmares. He had no intention of working during the day, and wandered around the room restlessly all day long, in a state of trance. Every time I sleep, I have nightmares. After waking up suddenly, I found that I was still alive, so I patted my chest with palpitations.

The other party didn't reply, as if they fell into silence like this, not knowing what happened.

Sometimes, in order to sleep better, he would choose to take some sedative drugs to force him to sleep.

This is also a last resort, because the human nervous system has limits, and it is better to take a good rest when it is time to rest, otherwise the work efficiency of the brain will drop significantly. If you feel drowsy at a critical moment, then you will be in real trouble...

And the soldiers in front have been on emergency alert all the time, closely monitoring the reaction of the enemy spacecraft to prevent a full-scale war that may occur at any time.

For now, there is no specific news.

Seeing him fidgeting, Lin Xuanxuan sighed: "Another day has passed...the planetary curvature engine has been completed a little bit more."

Zhang Yuan also sighed: "Yeah, I don't know how many more days to suffer. I really hope that these four years will pass sooner."

"...Do you think it will be successful?"

"have no idea."

This time Zhang Yuan really didn't know, and it was difficult to judge.

As for the statement of condemnation after the ultimatum, it was a way that the high-level human beings racked their brains to deliberately exaggerate their own battle damage to test the opponent's reaction...

For now, it seems good news that the enemy did not attack immediately? Is it following the steps deliberately fabricated by human beings?

He looked up to the direction where the "Qicheng" Titan-class spacecraft was leaving. Li Zhendong and other scientists had been away for many years.

As expected, Qiqi had arrived at its destination one or two years ago.

The meeting place agreed at the beginning was about 20 light-years away from here. I don’t know how their situation is. They must be concerned about the front line, so it’s impossible for them to develop with peace of mind.

At this time, Zhang Yuan received a short message from the captain's room: "The other party replied with an ultimatum and requested political negotiations!"

When Zhang Yuan saw this line of text, Zhang Yuan immediately put down the hanging heart, waved his arm fiercely, and even couldn't help turning his mouth up a little bit!

Since political negotiations are required, it means that the other party's response is in line with expectations!

All in all, the probability of peace negotiations is higher.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xuanxuan asked quickly.

"Haha! Good news! Good news, I'll go out first!" Zhang Yuan picked her up and walked around the room. Then he got dressed again and ran out in a hurry.

At this moment, the captain's room was already full of people, and the face of the captain's lady looked a little better than before. The captain of this term has used the latest life extension technology, so the term of office has also been extended appropriately. The Scientific Council is considering extending the term again to adapt to the interstellar era represented by the fourth-level civilization.

Seeing that all the senior officials had arrived, the captain announced the short message sent by the Apollo civilization to mankind.

"..."

Zhang Yuan frowned, reading a series of text on the screen.

As expected, the Apollo civilization will definitely not withdraw its troops directly. How can there be such a good thing in the world!

In the announcement, as before, it strongly condemned the false thesis of the new human civilization selling "extra color perception", and demanded compensation for a certain degree of amoeba points. The Apollo civilization requires the new human civilization to execute the original interstellar court trial and compensate for losses before withdrawing its troops.

Of course, this is just an excuse for negotiation between the two parties.

It's still the same excuse, but it's been there for a while.

More than 4,000 amoeba points, human beings don't have so many, and it is impossible to compensate.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Hey, I talk about fake papers and fake papers here every day. In fact, not a single word is fake! You can be a good boy if you get it cheap! If I had known, I wouldn't have sold this knowledge to this damn Apollo civilization. .”

The diplomat Lao Yang shook his head: "If you don't sell it to this civilization, who will you sell it to? We can't predict foretelling, maybe the same thing will happen if we sell it to another civilization. Well, it's always good to negotiate first. s Choice."

The captain said: "Then let them show their sincerity first, withdraw the troops further away, and then negotiate at the border. The specific conditions will be discussed at that time!"

"Because of the ultimatum issued this time, we must take the initiative!"

"That's the truth."
