Chapter 418 Negotiation
When everyone left the Batarians' home planet and returned to their original place, everyone was silent as if dead.
"Mr. Judge, I didn't expect you to be so............"
Even Li Longcheng didn't know how to evaluate Duanmu Huai's behavior for a while, and Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.
"The Tribunal is only responsible for protecting humans. Other aliens besides humans are unnecessary for us. If it was a human planet, I might use the extinction order when I had to, but since it was an alien planet, there is naturally nothing to say."
This is also the reason why players in the game use the extinction order as a big move and explode at any time.
In fact, this era is different from the human empire period. Most places are planets inhabited by aliens. There is no psychological pressure at all. Just throw the extinction order.
"Okay, let's talk about it when you calm down."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai cut off the communication. At this time, the senior executives of the Star Alliance looked at Li Longcheng, who smiled helplessly.
"Everyone, I know you have a lot of questions, come with me."
Afterwards, in a top-secret conference room, facing Kislev and other colleagues, Li Longcheng told the whole story of the Inquisition, including his attack on the New Shanxi Colony, the Inquisition's rescue, and what he learned afterwards about the history of the Human Empire, the existence of the Inquisition and its responsibilities.
It must be said that after listening to Li Longcheng's story and reading the Inquisition records sent by Duanmu Huai, everyone present was really confused.
"It's unbelievable, is this true?"
"I also know you won't believe it, but what about now? Can you not believe it?"
"This..............."
Hearing this, those Star Alliance executives who had doubts were speechless. If it was before, they would never believe Li Longcheng's words, but now, when they witnessed the destruction of the Batarians' home planet by the extinction order, no matter how unwilling they were to believe it, they had to admit the facts before their eyes.
After all...if it was a scam, using a planet as bait was too big a scam.
"So does that mean we might become the next human empire to rule the galaxy?"
Some high-level officials were also very excited about this. After all, they were all human beings, and they heard that they were descendants of the human empire that once ruled the galaxy. Of course, they also hoped to be able to do the same feat as their ancestors.
"As long as there is the help of the Inquisition........."
"The Inquisition will not interfere in the political affairs within human civilization."
However, Li Longcheng shook his head.
"According to the Inquisitor, the existence of the Inquisition is to save humans from the threats of heretics, aliens and demons. Therefore, they do not have a preference for the political affairs within human civilization. Whether you are a monarchy or a democracy, as long as it can help humans develop, it is good. They don't care about such trivial matters."
"This............"
Hearing this, everyone was speechless. They also listened to Li Longcheng's classification of aliens, heretics and demons defined by the Inquisition. Among them, Duanmu Huai played a little trick on the classification of demons. He directly called demons subspace creatures (strictly speaking, it is actually correct), rather than gods or the like.
In simple terms, Duanmu Huai told Li Longcheng that demons are creatures with special powers that live in a space called "subspace". They like to play tricks and use their unique abilities to deceive humans, making them recognize them as demons or gods, and use this to manipulate human actions.
This is also Duanmu Huai's attempt to define demons. The Emperor's imperial truth has completely failed. The reality that completely denies objective existence will naturally be slapped away by reality. But as long as the definition of reality is differentiated, there may be a chance to destroy it.
As long as humans do not regard subspace demons as a certain belief, there is no way to fight against them.
In addition, Duanmu Huai has another attempt, which is... online novels!
That's right, there are naturally online novels in this human civilization. Duanmu Huai's idea for Li Longcheng is to let Li Longcheng vigorously support those online novels. After all, there are many online novels that are about killing gods and destroying Buddhas, and my life is determined by me, not by God. If you read too much, people's subconscious will naturally shift to this aspect.
As long as there is a setting in these online articles, that is, trading with any gods or demons will not end well in the end, and only relying on human's own strength can become Long Aotian, then once you read more, when you encounter similar situations, humans will subconsciously develop similar tendencies.
Therefore, Duanmu Huai also proposed three elements.
First: The so-called gods or demons are actually just creatures that are more powerful than humans, which is nothing big.
Second: Any temptation from gods or demons is just to use humans to achieve their own goals. No matter how high-sounding it is, it cannot change its essence. Humans are essentially just their tools.
Third: As long as humans insist on the pride and glory of being human, they can kill gods and Buddhas, have a harem, and become Long Aotian.
Yes, this is the brainwashing plan of online articles. As long as these online articles can be circulated in the Star Alliance, then anyone who has read these online articles or adapted TV series will subconsciously use this method to treat those subspace demons. Then, won’t it be much easier to deal with them next?
So the emperor, you don’t understand human nature.
Of course, this does not require the Star Alliance to issue an official regulation or something. After all, people have a rebellious mentality. If you do this, it may arouse the dissatisfaction of the people. And there is no need to do it so blatantly. Just unite the websites and ban all novels that worship gods and demons on the grounds of promoting feudal superstition, and then only promote those novels that slaughter gods and destroy Buddhas. When people see that this routine makes money, they will naturally write it.
If you write a lot, find a few fine works, and then adapt them into movies and TV series, and play them in the Star Alliance, won’t it slowly brainwash people?
This is better than the Imperial Truth!
In the game, players also want to do similar operations, but unfortunately it is very difficult, but in reality... Duanmu Huai plans to try this brain hole.
This can also be regarded as fighting poison with poison.
Apart from anything else, at least this will not turn humans into spineless people who kneel on the ground and can't get up when they see the evil god.
In the end, the Star Alliance's top leaders decided to hold talks with the Tribunal.
It must be said that Duanmu Huai chose the right time. Humans walked out of their own galaxy and just encountered alien races, and just happened to be threatened. At this time, they urgently needed an old predecessor in the universe to assist as a guide, and the emergence of the Tribunal was naturally a big advantage for the Star Alliance.
Both sides are in the human camp, and the Tribunal is strong. Under their protection, the Star Alliance can also develop more freely.
So after receiving Li Longcheng's response, Duanmu Huai also said that he would send representatives of the Tribunal to negotiate. Not long after, a Night Raven Black Star arrived on the Star Alliance battleship. And Li Longcheng also went to greet it with the top leaders of the Star Alliance. To be honest, looking at the dark fighter in front of them, everyone was also drumming in their hearts. After all, just seeing Duanmu Huai's face on the screen scared them a lot. Although Duanmu Huai will not come in person, it is possible that the representatives of the Tribunal are all those ferocious and scary people.
"Puff......"
Soon, the hatch opened, and then Li Longcheng and others saw several tall figures in black armor walking out with guns in hand, standing on both sides. Seeing this scene, everyone became more and more nervous.
Then... they saw that under the protection of these giants, several girls walked out.
"……………………???"
It must be said that the contrast is so great that the top leaders of the Star Alliance are a little confused. They have already prepared themselves to negotiate with these people who are taller than ordinary people.
But they didn't expect that the other party would send such a beautiful girl after a feint?
"Hello, Mr. President."
An, who was leading the group, was wearing a royal dress, and following behind her were the smiling Zhen Jiling, and Lumiel and Eclair, who were dressed as maids.
"I am the representative of the Tribunal, the first princess of Manalia---An. Hello, nice to meet you."
"……………………"
Looking at the group of beautiful and lovely girls in front of them, all the high-level executives of the Star Alliance, including Li Longcheng, were confused.
The Tribunal... There is such a thing?
In fact, this was also Duanmu Huai's idea. The Tribunal itself gives people a very strong feeling. If he comes forward, then the Star Alliance will definitely endure it even if they are not happy. But doing so is not a good thing for the cooperation between the two sides. Therefore, Duanmu Huai specially dispatched An and Zhen Jiling as negotiating representatives of the Tribunal.
As a princess of a country, An has the most experience in politics, and she is also one of the members who has followed Duanmu Huai for the longest time. Duanmu Huai wants to do something, and An's intelligence and wisdom certainly will not understand.
As for Zhen Jiling---does she understand what is called superior charm!
You know, in the game, when Duanmu Huai's character is full of charm, it is enough to make others willingly open their hearts to him!
This is the horror of full charm, okay!
Duanmu Huai has decided to let Zhen Ji Ling be the diplomatic and propaganda representative of the Tribunal in the future.
After all, the reason why she followed Duanmu Huai was to make the whole world - no, the whole universe feel her cuteness.
The world - no, the cutest Zhen Ji Ling in the universe!
Well, this is not bad, isn't it?
At least it is much better than some crazy evil or lustful demon.
Look at what kind of bastards the latter are, ugly as hell!
Of course, as for whether this will make people look down on the Tribunal, Duanmu Huai is not worried.
After all, the Batari's home planet has just been blown up, and their memory should not be as short as that of fish.
In fact, just as Duanmu Huai thought, perhaps An and Zhen Ji Ling's charm is great enough. It only took them half a day to negotiate a cooperation agreement between the Tribunal and the Star Alliance with the Star Alliance executives.
In simple terms, the content of the agreement is that the Inquisition will escort the colonization and expansion of the Star Alliance. For example, if the Star Alliance colonized a planet before and was attacked by the Turians, if it encounters such a thing again, the Star Alliance can directly ask for help from the Inquisition. In addition, if they encounter a difficult problem that they cannot handle on an alien planet, they can also seek help from the Inquisition.
Considering that the technology of the Inquisition may cause some unknown chaos pollution or influence on the Star Alliance, Duanmu Huai did not reach an agreement on the technology exchange between the two parties. Of course, he does not mind exchanging some technologies from the Guardian Planet, the Orc Planet, or the Hell Planet with the Star Alliance.
But the technology of the Inquisition... It is better not to use it if you can. After all, the Star Alliance has just started to enter the universe. Giving them these things now is like giving primitive people nuclear bombs. When they die, they will not know how they died.
Of course, Duanmu Huai also helped Dardanelle negotiate a deal by the way—that is, the atmospheric transformation technology mastered by the Dardanelle Chamber of Commerce!
For the Star Alliance, this technology can be said to be a timely help. Now the Star Alliance is developing outer space, and the biggest worry is that it can't find a suitable planet suitable for human survival. If there is atmospheric transformation technology, then all these problems will naturally not be a problem. As long as the location of those planets is superior, even if they are just a piece of stone, they can be transformed into an environment suitable for human survival through atmospheric transformation technology!
Dardanelle, who learned of this news, was naturally very grateful to Duanmu Huai. In fact, Dardanelle's Chamber of Commerce has basically become a follower of the Tribunal. It can be said that wherever Duanmu Huai goes, Dardanelle will follow. At present, the reconstruction of the Guardian Civilization, the Orc Planet and the Hell Planet is also handled by the Dardanelle Chamber of Commerce.
However, compared with a truly grown interstellar civilization, these are child's play!
This also made Dardanelle determined to hold on to the big tree of the Tribunal!
This is his own fortune tree!
In comparison, the Star Alliance can give the Inquisition little in return, but Duanmu Huai doesn't care much. After all, the Inquisition rarely interferes in human internal affairs, and if it involves heretics and demons, then whether you admit it or not, the Inquisition will take action, so the Star Alliance's statement is more of a political exchange and communication method.
Of course, in general, the negotiations between the two sides were carried out in a friendly and warm atmosphere, and a series of cooperation agreements were reached.
At the end, both sides were smiling, and Li Longcheng was also jubilant.
With such an agreement, he will be more confident when facing the Citadel Council.
