The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1965, Qisiling (middle)

"There is no doubt that we are here for peace." Brent said, "The Principality of Dawn has no intention of launching a war against the Chisland, and it does not need the Chisland to join our war. All we hope is to make a friend. "

"Since it's for peace, I think we can start a conversation." The speaker was still one of the four people sitting in the middle, a middle-aged woman. She glanced at Brent and the others, and added: "I It’s the Csapla family.”

Another middle-aged man next to him also said: "The members of the Qisling cabinet have all given up their names. We represent the entire family, and our title is also equivalent to the name of the family - I am the Nurudo family (Nuruodo family).”

"Inrokini family."

"Sabosen family."

After the leaders of the four major families introduced themselves, the other five families also introduced themselves. There is no doubt that the person standing here is the highest authority that rules the entire Chisi Territory - the family cabinet.

"The Principality of Dawn, Commander of the Second Exploration Fleet, Vice Admiral Brent." Vice Admiral Brent answered in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

"Very good, then...since the Dawn Principality has sent a fleet from afar, please tell me directly, what benefits can the Dawn Principality bring to us?" The Sipra family said straight to the point.

"The Chisland is not directly connected to the outside world. We are self-sufficient, have our own culture and civilization, have enough power to protect ourselves, and have rich products. And the relationship between the Principality of Dawn, the Galactic Republic, and the current Galactic Empire The relationship is not stable in our opinion. If we accept you, it will attract the hostility of the Galactic Empire to the Chislin," the Nurudo family said.

"It seems that you are still paying attention to what is happening in the galaxy. Doesn't this just mean that you are not as isolated as you said?" Brent said with a smile.

"Threats from the outside world are always there. Of course we will not turn a blind eye to potential threats." The Nurudo family said.

The Nurudo family is in charge of the military and diplomacy of the Chisland. Their strength ranks second among the four major families in the Chisland, second only to the Cipra family, which is in charge of resources and colonial management. This family is also the family that adopted Thrawn.

Brent smiled and said: "The Principality of Dawn is willing to share our economy, technology, and culture with Chisland. This will broaden our mutual horizons, promote each other's development, and enhance each other's strength. There is no harm in this. I believe that after we establish a communication mechanism, we will soon understand the benefits that each other can bring.”

"I think you have overlooked one point. The location of Qisi Ling is not connected to the outside world." The Saberson family said.

Brent shook his head and said: "I believe you were aware of the Galactic Republic's overseas exploration plan ten years ago. Do you still think that the Chiss Territory is isolated? And for now, do you think I am? How did we get here? Similarly, how did our other exploration fleet destroy the Xilu Empire?"

"Are you threatening us?" the Nurudo family said coldly, "or do you think that if you can defeat the Xilu Empire, you can definitely defeat our Qisi Territory?"

"This is not a threat, but an objective fact - the unknown star field is not as isolated and isolated as you think." Brent said, "And if you continue to think so, continue to hide If you don’t contact the outside world here, you will be swallowed up by the outside world sooner or later.”

"If you want to come, Qisi's fleet is waiting for you at any time!" The Nurudo family seemed a little angry, and he raised his voice and said loudly.

Lieutenant General Brent still maintained a smile, "Indeed, we are here. But, it is for peace. Please see, here is a gift from the Principality of Dawn to Chisland."

An attendant handed over a gift list. Lieutenant General Brent handed the gift list to Admiral Chiara, who handed it to the Cipra family.

"Here are some precious products from the Principality of Dawn, such as plant seeds, animal embryos, etc. Of course, the most important thing is the blueprint of a technology - the curvature engine." Lieutenant General Brent turned on the projection and explained: "You should We know the principle of curvature navigation, but we have not developed a mature engine, because there are still some relatively stable hyperspace channels in Chisland. However, the hyperspace here is still extremely unstable, so we believe in the curvature engine. It can help you further strengthen communication within the leadership."

"This curvature engine is what you rely on to enter 'chaos'?" the Inrokini family asked.

For the residents of the unknown star field, they call this star field Chaos.

"Oh no." Brent shook his head, "The warp engine is just a gift from us to show our sincerity... and our Kingdom of Dawn has at least three other technologies currently in use that can be used to enter and exit 'Chaos'. And these Sharing technology depends on our understanding of each other.”

All I can say is that he is worthy of being the commander of the Second Exploration Fleet who was chosen to come into contact with the Chiss people. After Lieutenant General Brent took off his military uniform, he looked like an eloquent diplomat, and he was at ease in such situations.

Although Brent kept saying that he came for peace, he reminded the Chiss people both inside and outside of his words that the Dawn Principality had enough means to enter the unknown star territory. This is enough, because how powerful the Dawn Principality is, he does not need to tell these Chiss people.

The expressions of the nine families in the Qisi Territory became solemn. They looked at each other, as if they were discussing something in private using a hidden communication method.

After a while, the Nurudo family asked: "Then how can you guarantee that the Dawn Principality will not invade the Qisi Territory?"

"We can sign a trade contract, and then start trade, promote exchanges, and strengthen cooperation. As long as we have more common interests, once a war breaks out, wouldn't the sword of the Dawn Principality be equivalent to cutting on ourselves?" Brent said.

"Binding common interests? Then when the Dawn Principality goes to war with other people, will it also bind our Chiss Territory to the war?" The Sipra family sneered.

"The fact that the Principality of Dawn has the technology to enter and exit chaos does not mean that others also have it. And of course... the Principality of Dawn will definitely not hand over this technology to our enemies, right?" Lieutenant General Brent said thoughtfully. He said pointedly, and he deliberately emphasized the words 'our enemy'. (End of chapter)
