Chapter 409 You Need to Pay More!

Normally, the two warring parties in an interstellar war will have a certain tacit understanding.

Unless there is a full-scale war, we will not do this kind of sneak attack on the opponent's weak star system.

This is of no benefit. It will not cause much damage to the opponent's strength. Instead, it will anger the opponent's civilization, create public opinion within the opponent's civilization, and force the opponent's civilization to increase the scale and intensity of the war.

In a full-scale war, if the strength is similar, both sides will actively shrink their territory and will not leave the other side the opportunity to sneak attack on their own weak points.

However, at this moment, several civilized coalition forces thought that they would have an absolute advantage over the human side, making the human side unable to sneak attack on their own side, so they did not shrink their territory. However, the human side actually still had the power to make a sneak attack, which created the current situation.

Then... shrink the territory?

This seems to be the only way at the moment.

The five heads of state had to change their decisions. In addition to harsher condemnations and claims of larger-scale campaigns on the battlefield in retaliation, weak star systems on the edge of the territory have also launched large-scale migrations.

All galaxies with a population of less than one billion will be cleared out. If the scale is more than 1 billion, the size of the garrison fleet will be increased to more than 3,000 ships.

In this way, even if it is not as good as the sneak attack fleet, it will at least have the ability to delay time and wait for rescue.

As for the impact of shrinking territory... there is no other way. We can only choose the lesser of two evils.

Fortunately, because it does not involve important galaxies or core galaxies, although this migration and territory shrinkage involve multiple galaxies, and although the scale is huge, the impact on the civilization as a whole is still within an acceptable range.

But the next development of the matter once again exceeded the expectations of the five heads of state.

Our own territory has shrunk. The human sneak attack fleet did not sneak attack on our own galaxy that has strengthened its defense power, but they began to launch sneak attacks on smaller-scale settlements of intelligent life...

Just like the RX-774 Galaxy. There wasn't even a decent town in that galaxy, just a scientific research base, with a total population of only about 3,000 people. Such a tiny target actually received a sneak attack from humans.

The scientific research base was destroyed and everyone died.

When he first received the news, Head of State Joao almost stared out of his eyes.

With such a small number of people and such a small number of facilities, is it worth your special trip? Is it enough for fuel money and soldiers’ wages? Is it enough to rent the space carrier?

Or the RY-6525 galaxy. There isn't even a big planet there, just more than 1,000 workers from an interstellar mining group, filtering stardust there and collecting a rare mineral.

There is no one else, let alone any high-value goals.

But for such a galaxy, humans also specially dispatched 100 warships to wipe out all the Joao people here.

For a normal civilization, in addition to regular residential galaxies, there are many scientific research bases, industrial bases, etc., which range from hundreds of thousands to dozens of people. There are also many, many galaxies, and it is impossible to defend them one by one.

But this is an important part of a civilized industrial power, scientific research power, and even the economy, and it is impossible to withdraw all of it.

If you withdraw them all, it will be equivalent to sealing off your entire civilization, and the impact will be much greater than just migrating to the galaxy.

It was obviously just to carry out the task of a superior civilization. The previous territorial contraction had already paid a huge price. Head João was really unwilling to pay a greater price and withdrew these external forces.

"Are these humans all a bunch of lunatics?"

Head of State João was furious and gnashed his teeth: "Which civilization would be so boring as to clear these targets!"

"Führer, you don't have to be angry. In fact, in an absolute sense, when humans sneak attack on our targets, we gain, while humans lose...

Assuming that the total value of the target of the RY-6525 galaxy mining base is 1, the human fleet spends a lot of time to dispatch the fleet, and has to rent a level 5 civilized space carrier for transportation. To sneak attack this galaxy, the price they need to pay is at least 5.

We only paid one share of resources, but consumed five shares of human resources. In the long run, the more sneak attacks humans do, the more profit we will make..."

"Shut up!"

For this subordinate, Head of State João became even more angry: "Am I not clear about these things? Is this the key to the matter?

Public opinion, public opinion! Our people will not see how much resources humans have consumed for sneak attacks. They will only see that our people are dead! Brutally massacred! Human beings have nothing to do!

The most important thing is that there is nothing we can do! "

Subordinate Nono shut up.

If I discuss interests with you and you discuss public opinion with me, there will be no discussion.

The five heads of state gathered again and began to discuss countermeasures.

It is not feasible to allow human beings to consume at least five times our own resources and continue to engage in this kind of "loss-making business". The pressure of public opinion within our own civilization is too great to bear.

Sue humans and ask them to stop such despicable sneak attacks?

Not feasible. The Silver Alliance Court will tear us apart.

Withdraw all external forces?

It's feasible. However, in order to implement the superior civilized order, we have already paid a huge price by shrinking our territory in the early stage. We are really unwilling to pay more price now.

Destroy the human fleet?

How to destroy the human fleet riding on the fifth-level civilized space carrier? Setting up an ambush in a certain galaxy? There are so many external targets, how do we know which one humans are going to attack?

Several plans were all rejected. For a time, with the wisdom of the five heads of state, they were all at a loss.

After thinking for a long time, Head João suddenly became energetic.

An excellent idea emerged from his mind.

“The reason why humans unscrupulously launch sneak attacks on us comes from the ultra-high mobility of the Level 5 Civilized Space Carrier that can be rented at any time.

Once this mobility is lost, the distance between two galaxies is often more than ten light-years, and a little further is more than a hundred light-years. It will take several years for the human fleet to maneuver once, plus the time consumed by regular navigation, it will be completed The time required for a sneak attack will be greatly increased, and the radius of activity will be greatly restricted. It is even possible for us to predict in advance where the next sneak attack target of the human fleet will be, creating conditions for us to deploy an ambush.

All in all, once the support of the fifth-level civilized space carrier is lost, human sneak attacks will be unsustainable.

The key point lies in the space carrier of the fifth-level civilization!

Then...can we find a way to make humans lose this support? "

The other heads of state also cheered up and instantly realized the feasibility of this plan.

yes……

Although it is customary for high-level civilizations to provide services to low-level civilizations, at the fifth-level civilization level, of course, there is no scruple about wars between ordinary low-level civilizations, but for the current war between one's own side and human civilization, the "political impact" will inevitably be considered.

In other words, if one's own side shows enough strength or qualifications to make the Luotu civilization give in, then there is a high probability that the remaining fifth-level civilizations will not take a trip into this muddy water and will not provide services to mankind.

Just solve the Luotu civilization.

As long as we find a way to prevent Luotu civilization from providing services to human civilization, mankind will be faced with a situation where there are no space carriers to rent, and will have to stop such sneak attacks, and our own dilemma will be solved.

So, how to make Luotu civilization stop serving human civilization?

"We do not have enough qualifications and status to do this. Only high-level civilizations can do this."

"Then apply to Blue Mountain Civilization and let them help us solve this matter!"

Head of State João immediately issued a call.

He was very confident in making this call. After all, it was in carrying out your mission that we suffered such heavy losses.

We even had to shrink our territory before, and we paid a huge price for this.

Now that there is trouble again, if your Blue Mountain Civilization doesn’t come forward, who will?

Things developed just as the five heads of state had expected. Faced with the reasonable and reasonable demands of our own coalition, the officials responsible for connecting our own Blue Mountain Civilization immediately stated that they would definitely help our five civilizations resolve the matter, and we must prevent the Luotu Civilization from providing services to human civilization.

As long as the Blue Mountain Civilization shows this attitude, the remaining fifth-level civilizations will have to consider the attitude of the Blue Mountain Civilization when they want to provide services to human civilization. However, it is really not worth it to offend the Blue Mountain Civilization with just a little business dealings.

The official in charge of this matter from the Blue Mountain Civilization originally thought that it would be very simple to complete the matter. He only needed to hold some negotiations with the Luotu Civilization and pay some price at most to make up for the commercial losses of the Luotu Civilization.

But unexpectedly, Luo Tu Wenming refused.

"For a long time, we have always maintained good cooperation with human civilization. Not only do we have a large number of commercial exchanges, but we also maintain good cooperation in biotechnology, mineral resources, culture and art, etc.

The leaders of the two major civilizations have maintained good personal contacts and have a profound friendship.

Also, providing five-level civilized services to external parties is related to our business reputation. Breaking the contract rashly will cause damage to our reputation.

Therefore, it is difficult for us to stop providing services to human civilization. "

After more than ten consecutive consultations, the Luo Tu Civilization side was still prevaricating with such empty words. The Lanshan officials finally lost their last bit of patience and couldn't help but angrily yelled: "Then put forward your conditions! What on earth do you need to do to stop doing this? Human civilization provides services!”

Luo Tu Wenming's business staff said seriously: "We have to pay more."

The Lanshan official was startled.

If you had told me earlier, wouldn't it have been fine if you had told me you didn't have enough money? Spending so much effort and wasting so much time...

"How many?"

"3 billion silver coins."

Luo Tu officials directly gave a figure: "If it is less than 3 billion silver coins, there is no need to discuss it."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to freeze there. Official Lanshan looked at Official Luotu in disbelief and was speechless for a long time.

I have seen lions with their mouths wide open, but never such a wide mouth.

3 billion silver coins!

For such a trivial matter, you actually dare to offer a price of 3 billion silver coins! Although level five civilizations are generally not short of silver coins, it will take a long time to earn 3 billion silver coins!

Seeing the dumbfounded expressions of the Lanshan officials, the Luotu officials also sighed inwardly.

There is no way, humans have given too much...

According to the current human order amount and our own cost calculation, we can earn a total of about 1.5 billion silver coins in this mission.

Although I don’t know why humans suddenly became so generous and started to spend money on such a large scale, it doesn’t matter. We just need to make money.

The expected income of 1.5 billion silver coins, plus the estimated loss of our invisible business reputation, is 500 million silver coins, plus the impact of the diplomatic relations with human civilization on future orders, which is also 500 million, plus a little premium...

3 billion silver coins, not too much, right? Not too much at all, right?

This is still based on the fact that your Blue Mountain civilization is also a level 5 civilization, and the extra profit we earned from you last time!

At this moment, the Blue Mountain officials finally confirmed 100% in their hearts that the Luotu civilization had no sincerity to negotiate with them.

In this case, what is there to talk about!

The Blue Mountain officials were so angry that they walked away directly. The Luotu officials just curled their lips.

If you don’t talk, we are too lazy to talk.

The matter was finally brought to the head of the Blue Mountain civilization.

"Oh? Luotu civilization is asking for 3 billion silver coins?"

Hearing this news, President Lan Shu was a little surprised.

From the position of the head of civilization, 3 billion silver coins is not too much, but not too little. The most important thing is, why should we be treated as a fool?

Closing his eyes, President Lan Shu thought silently.

First, the dilemma of the five fourth-level civilization alliances must be solved. Otherwise, why should we ask our younger brothers to work for us?

Second, it is not feasible to sue human civilization directly. And at this moment, solving the problem through negotiation with Luotu civilization has also been proven to be unfeasible.

So...

President Lan Shu opened his eyes and made a decision in his heart.

"Tell the heads of the five fourth-level civilizations to go to the Silver Alliance Court jointly and sue Luotu civilization on the grounds that 'high-level civilization participated in the massacre of its own civilians'!"

The subordinate was surprised. But after a moment of stunned, he also reacted and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Great..."

Not suing human civilization can avoid the Silver Alliance Court from falling into a dilemma.

If we turn to sue the Luotu civilization for participating in the massacre of its own civilians, we can legally prohibit the Luotu civilization from continuing to participate in this matter in the name of the Silver Alliance Court.

As for whether the lawsuit can be won, President Lan Shu did not think much about it.

What a joke, from the plaintiff to the Silver Alliance judges, the deliberation team, the trial team, etc., they are all my people, and there is also the creator civilization as a backer behind them, how can I lose?

Don’t tell me that "it is customary for high-level civilizations to provide interstellar transportation services for low-level civilizations. It does not count as participating in the war of low-level civilizations, let alone participating in the massacre of low-level civilization civilians." It’s useless to talk about these things.

Just tell me whether it is because of your participation that humans can massacre our civilians.

Putting aside the rest, just talk about this point, you can tell whether it is true or not. (End of this chapter)
