How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 239 Friendly Negotiation

"My name is Huogu, and I am talking on behalf of Amoeba. How do you call them?"

Huogu speaks in Chinese naturally, and he doesn’t worry that the other party can’t understand. The radio conversation between Huogu and the collectors is to communicate in Chinese. Since Serene can use radio to communicate, they can naturally understand Huogu. speak Chinese.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Marvin, next to me is Morian from the Science Society, this one is General Nuo Lei, and Princess Anola, a member of the royal family, we are talking on behalf of the empire."

As expected, with the help of the translator, Marvin and the others could understand Hogu's infrasound spoken Chinese.

Huo Gu's eyes didn't linger on them, the Serin people, for too long, and fell on the whole frozen body beside him. Huo Gu noticed the appearance and life field of the other party, which was similar to a gatherer.

As soon as he came in, most of Huogu's attention was focused on this traitor. He had fangs, but they were not sharp, but rather blunt. They were more similar to the jointed feet of crabs and scorpions, and had a pair of tentacles. However, it is thicker than ordinary collectors. This Hogu has only been seen on collectors who used to carry things.

"Who is this?" Hogu asked.

"It's private, the translator we invited to prevent communication barriers when the translator malfunctions."

"I see."

Huogu didn't care too much about this aspect, betrayers are betrayers, it doesn't regard 'loyalty' as important as perpetuating them.

"Let's start with the bottom line of safety that we are more concerned about. What are you Serenes planning?"

"The empire hopes that you can evacuate the planets you occupy, and promise not to occupy them again." General Norley answered.

"Then what should I do with my compatriots on the planet? That is the life that can cover four planets, where should they go when they leave the planet?"

"In this regard, the empire has already thought about it. With your technology, it is completely possible to survive in space, and it is not necessary to live on planets."

Hogu stared at the Serene general, and was silent for a while.

"According to what you mean, you want my compatriots to float in the universe without a fixed place?"

"Unfortunately, Your Excellency Huogu, this is not my decision. I am just conveying on behalf of the empire that you have a huge amount of resources like five planets, which seriously oppresses the nerves of the empire. If you want to continue the negotiation, this condition must be Agreed."

"...I have a proposal. Instead of completely disabling the resources of the four planets, we should share them equally. We can transform two of them into ecological planets that are absolutely suitable for your life, and the other two belong to us. How about it?"

The representatives of the four Serene people looked at each other, and they could all see the different expressions on each other's faces. No one expected that Hogu would propose such a deal.

Obviously, the deal proposed by Huogu was really something the empire couldn't refuse, and there were three more livable planets. According to the other party's opinion, they were still livable planets with a nearly 100% ecological environment.

Why did empires colonize in the first place? It is not because of the population explosion. Although the population growth is limited due to policy reasons, such as the nobles' small kitchens, the aging population, etc., cannot be fully implemented. The policy only prolongs the contradiction of the population explosion, and does not completely solve this problem.

Of course, this is also an unsolvable problem. After all, not all races can absolutely obey the leader's arrangements like the gatherers.

A few representatives can't decide this kind of thing, they have a lot of authority, but 'restricting the other party's resources' is a strategic bottom line that must be reached, and the deal for a livable planet is so irresistible...

"Your Excellency Huogu, we need to ask the head of state for instructions on this matter, please wait a moment."

"Please."

The request for instructions ended soon, and with the instructions given by the head of state, the attitudes of the few people were no longer as indecisive as before.

"Your Excellency, we can agree to the transaction, but you can't get more than one planet. The reason we have just said is that this is our biggest concession. Can you accept it?"

"...Yes, we can accept it."

This time it was Huo Gu's turn to propose his own strategic bottom line.

"Then let's talk about my requirements. We don't want any unnatural creations near the stars. This is our bottom line of tolerance."

Mo Wen of the Science Society nodded and said, "We can understand this. The energy of the stars is huge, and the power of the Focus Fleet is obvious to all. The military use of the empire will naturally follow your wishes, but can you accommodate it for civil use?"

"Civil?"

Huogu naturally knew what civil affairs were, but Huogu was pretending to be an alien with a culture very different from that of the Serenes.

"Yes, since the colonization has been agreed upon, we need to consider the communication between the planets. Once the two planets of the empire move to the position where the stars are blocked, the radio communication will not be guaranteed. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a radio. relay stations, and radio relay stations in stellar orbits have the smallest delay."

"In addition, some studies on stars also require nearby observations to obtain data, such as stellar flares. This is for scientific research rather than combat."

"Yes, but if it is determined by us to be a threat to us and has the right to implement compulsory expulsion, if you can agree, we can naturally agree to your reasonable request."

Huo Gu thought about it, and agreed to the other party's suggestion, but said that the premise of his agreement was to deploy strategic forces in stellar orbits.

This is obviously unacceptable to the imperial military, so...

"Are you amoebas planning to station in stellar orbit?" General Norley asked.

"Yes, avoid the tragedy of that planet once again."

"this……"

General Norley and several other colleagues looked at each other, exchanged opinions, and then answered.

"Forgive me for the Empire's disapproval. Just as you amoebas are worried, the Empire is also very worried that such things will happen to the Empire's planet."

"If there is no supervision, how can we be sure that you will abide by it? Just based on your side's words? Are you Serene people thinking too good?"

Huogu showed a bit of dissatisfaction, the strategic deployment of Xingxing is determined to win, it must be held in the palm of its hand to be at ease, if the other party disagrees, then there is nothing to talk about.

Marvin suddenly said, "I have a proposal. Why don't we take a step back? Both of us will keep a fleet stationed in the orbit of the star, as the patrol supervisor and the maintainer of civilian facilities. I think you also hope that the space between planets Keep the connection open, right? And some data of the stars are also quite valuable, don't you consider your own scientific research?"

According to the meaning of the other party, do you want to form a strategic deployment where the two sides supervise each other? ——Huo Gu weighed it up and approved the other party's suggestion.

"Yes, we can accept it, but it's limited to two teams. Naturally, we also have two teams. This is fair."

After talking about the main things, the content of the following conversation will be some minor details that are not very important to promote friendly exchanges, such as sending envoys to observe culture, establishing diplomatic embassies and so on.
