Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

"The colony ships of your compatriots have sailed away from our fleet."

"Thank you, thank you, Ambassador."

"We are all intelligent races that can communicate with each other. A small friction did not escalate into a war. This is something we have to thank each other for, and thank you too."

Gou Weisa helped the Shui clan ambassador to chat with He Chou.

He Chou found out that his boss and colleagues really weren't coming, so he guessed a lot, and then negotiated with the Shui Clan as a representative.

Because the other party was so cooperative, the conversation went very smoothly.

Having finished talking about the colony ship, the two discussed the issue of galaxy ownership.

He Chou said that the star region needs this galaxy, and the Water Clan ambassador said that they entered the human colony area by mistake, and are now evacuating civilians in the surface colonies.

This ambassador seemed to be a free gift, but He Chou did not relax his vigilance against him, because he felt that this ambassador was actually very sophisticated and was just good at disguising himself as a representative of a weak and well-intentioned race, so that it would be easier for him to give him money in the future. A little surprise or something.

But the future is not yet involved.

In less than twenty minutes, the Tau fleet began to release colonial ships.

In order to avoid further misunderstandings, all ships in the Tau naval fleet shut down their shields, turned their artillery, and aimed at each other among the closer Tau warships.

The Tyrone Navy ships also deflected the aiming direction of their weapons.

However, two cruisers that entered a quasi-combat state left the fleet and approached the returning colony ship.

The colony ship and cruiser stopped at the same time, and then the marines inside the cruiser boarded the colony ship, using various artificial intelligence technology products to check the number of personnel, their physical health, and their recent diet...

This is a fault-finding stage, in the eyes of the Tau.

The fleet commander from the Feng Clan, a clan that is good at managing and controlling warships, stood in the bridge of the flagship, nervously watching the three warships floating in the deep starry sky ahead, as well as the overwhelming number of huge warships further ahead.

Fortunately, the inspection was over quickly.

"Everything is normal." The voice of the Water clan came from the console, "It is because we abide by the teachings of the Greater Good and treat those Homo erectus fairly and mercifully that we can avoid a war."

A burst of cheers erupted on the bridge.

Only the fleet commander of the Feng clan still looked sad: "So, this galaxy belongs to humans, right?"

"Yes, what else?"

"Our new expansion plan has just begun. Will it be terminated immediately? When did you hand over this planet we have colonized?"

"when?"

There was silence on the other side of the communication device.

Then the fleet commander heard the Water Clan ambassador yelling angrily: "From the time I heard you say that our fleet cannot compete with the other party! Now you can either carry the people on the ground to evacuate honestly, or you can attack the colonial ship Fire!"

The commander was silent for a moment and gave the order tremblingly: "The transport ship will pick up the people on the ground, and then we will evacuate."

The commander who was born in the Wind Clan had a very good personal relationship with the ambassador from the Water Clan.

Maybe it’s worry about old friends, maybe it’s regret about drinking so much just now...

"Don't be discouraged. We are only in contact with them for the first time. We still need information and intelligence from the other party."

"The great expansion cannot end like this, but we still need some time to prepare."

"All for the Greater Good."

After listening to his friend's words of comfort, the fleet commander stared at the colony ship ahead with cold eyes.

"For the Greater Good."

…

Seeing the Shui clan ambassador finishing the communication that he couldn't understand, He Chou stood up from his seat and stretched out his hand.

The ambassador also stood up and held out his hand.

"It seems that when I go back this time, I will study human language and culture." Govisa said, "The ambassador said."

"Actually, it's not necessary." He Chou smiled and shook his head, "We all know what the other person is thinking. As long as your words can be expressed through this Govisa, there is no need to study specially."

"Ha." Govisa sneered.

The Water Clan ambassador on the side said a few more words, but his words were obviously not translated.

Gou Weisa looked at He Chou and said calmly: "If you want to condemn people like us on a moral level, then I will look down on you."

"No, I hate you, but I don't condemn you, because I can probably guess what you have been through." He Chou patted Gou Weisa on the shoulder, "The classic oppressed person who suffers a lot and has deep hatred, for the oppressed person who surrenders to the alien There’s a reason and a story to it.”

Gou Weisa looked at He Chou in astonishment.

"Your tragedy is the tragedy of the entire race. This cannot be simply attributed to your personality. I understand your choice based on the facts. I hope that the Tau people can always give you dignity instead of taking it back one day."

"Giving charity to dignity? No, if it's for dignity, I won't be Govisa." This Govisa said with a smile, "I know very well that my dignity is the most useless. If the Tau people give this, there is no way to exchange it. My allegiance, they gave me a drug that would keep the babies in the hive from having to be put into iron lungs, which is useful."

"Gou Weisa!" The Shui clan ambassador spoke for a long time before he realized that his translator was quarreling with He Chou, and scolded him in a low voice with great dissatisfaction.

Then what he said was honestly translated.

"Is there a chance of war between us, in the future? He asked you that," Govisa said.

This question caused He Chou to fall into a brief silence, because he did not feel qualified to answer this question.

But after thinking for a while, He Chou still answered.

"I don't know either. If people in the entire sector clamor for war, then the war will start. Otherwise, it won't."

"I am not the ether of the Tau race. I have no way to exert mental control over my compatriots so that they all have the same idea and the same purpose."

"As your Govisa said, humans are very unpredictable."

After hearing these words, the smile on the Shui clan ambassador's face froze. He looked at the headphones in He Chou's ears and immediately understood how this guy knew the existence of ether.

This is not the first time that the Tau race has come into contact with humans. After so many years, they still understand each other somewhat.

Only the contact with the Tyrone Star Sector was the first time.

"He thanked you for giving him a wonderful first contact. He will remember you as a human friend." After speaking, Govisa turned around and left.

"Send them away." He Chou walked out of the conference room and ordered the guards outside.

Then, after the guards left with the Water Clan ambassador, He Chou quickly ran toward the bridge.
