Solar system, Pluto Domain, Space City.

Negotiations between the Earth Federation and Gaia civilization continue, and there has been a decision within the federal government regarding Gaia's views on the last war, and this decision is to disagree with Gaia's views in no way.

The disasters and losses brought by the invasion of the Gaia civilization to the earth civilization are obvious, even if there is a convention in the galaxy that the primitive civilization does not belong to the protection of the cosmic civilization, but in the minds of all earthlings, this is absolutely unacceptable.

The explanations made by the Gaia civilization, including the claim that one of the Gaia civilization's families acted on its own, seemed to the Earth Federation to be nothing more than an excuse or cover-up. The Earth Federation government believes that if the Gaia civilization really has the sincerity to carry out normal exchanges and exchanges with the Earth civilization, then its first point is to make a characterization of the previous war, which is to admit that the war was a war of the Gaia civilization invading the Earth civilization, and the Gaia people who are mainly responsible for this war will inevitably be punished.

As for the Gaian side's proposal to release Gaian prisoners of war captured in the war, the Earth Federation is even less likely to agree to this. These prisoners of war have committed serious crimes against Earth civilization from that point of view, and according to the laws of the Earth Federation, even if they are executed, it is a matter of course, and some of the surviving prisoners of war are still being held, most likely until the end of their lives.

This is not only about the dignity of the laws of the Earth Federation, but also about the series of problems that these prisoners of war will bring to the civilization of the earth once they are released. You must know that these prisoners of war were captured by Su Yichen through the earth base of the Rand civilization. And after the capture, some of these prisoners of war suffered a lot, plus they stayed on Earth for a long time. I already have some understanding of the Earth civilization, and even the situation inside the Earth base has seen a part, and for the sake of secrecy, these people cannot be returned to the Gaia civilization under any circumstances.

Of course, the Earth Federation Government is also well aware that once the Earth Civilization rejects this proposal of the Gaia Civilization, then the possibility of the two sides continuing to negotiate is already very small. In other words, if the earth does not make concessions to this, it is tantamount to closing the door to peace talks. One can imagine the consequences of such an approach.

Such a decision is helpless, painful, and even more necessary. After all, the Earth Federation has not been in existence for a long time. The earth's civilization used to be an existence that has been home to various countries for thousands of years. If the Earth Federation Government only takes into account the feelings of Gaia civilization and disregards the bottom line to sign this agreement, then there will be an indelible rift within the Earth Federation Government that has just formed a cohesive force, which will lead to the division of the Federal Government.

The two results are on a par. The latter is more serious. And once you do. The Earth Federal Government, from the president to all officials, will become the object of scorn for all mankind, and none of the heads of the Earth Federal Government will dare to take such a risk.

After receiving the decision of the Earth Federation Government, the delegation headed by Tian Lao proposed to meet with the representatives of Gaia Civilization, which was half a month after the two sides temporarily put on hold negotiations because of this issue. That is to say, within this half month, the negotiations have reached an impasse.

Jerry and Cabakas and the others walked into the venue with relaxed expressions, these days, as representatives of the Gaia civilization, Jerry and they can't have more freedom of movement in Space City. As an elite person sent by the Gaia civilization, Jerry's subordinates naturally have professionals who can determine the technological level of today's Earth civilization through the ordinary settings of this space city.

Judging from the information provided by these professionals. It can be preliminarily concluded that it is only a fluke that the earth civilization has entered the cosmic civilization, that is to say, the science and technology of the earth civilization is not fully developed, and the scientific and technological composition of the earth civilization that has just become a member of the cosmic civilization has great defects, and its real strength is far inferior to that of the Gaia civilization of the second-level civilization, even if it is other old first-level cosmic civilization.

That's right, the earth civilization now has curvature technology, and has also made achievements in space technology and military technology, but this is only the first step in the door of the first-level civilization, and the earth civilization still has a long way to go to gain a firm foothold in the cosmic civilization. In this case, the Gaia civilization still occupies a great advantage, this structure makes Jerry very happy, and he firmly believes that the earth civilization will eventually succumb to the Gaia civilization, and they will gradually influence the earth civilization through this method, so as to obtain the information of the Rand civilization from the hands of the earthlings.

Today, Jerry and the others walked into the conference room with confidence, but they didn't expect that when Tian Lao announced the final decision of the Earth Federation Government in his thick voice, Jerry's eyes were about to pop out in shock.

"What! Did I hear me right? Jerry asked incredulously.

"You heard you right." Tian Lao looked at him deeply and said, "The Earth Federation Government unanimously believes that without characterizing the causes of the previous war between the two sides and the losses caused to the Earth civilization, and at the same time your civilization has failed to treat this war correctly and show sincerity, the Earth Federation Government will suspend all negotiations with you, and at the same time reject all your demands!" ”

"Crazy, you're crazy!" Jerry couldn't help but stand up and said excitedly, "Sir, do you know what it means for you to do this?" The great Gaian civilization extended friendly hands to you, but you slapped you back? I hope that as a cosmic civilization, especially if you have just become a cosmic civilization, you will be cautious! ”

"Thank you for the reminder, but we don't need to!" The representative of the military replied coldly, saying that he said it very loudly, and there was a hint of pride in his expression.

"Don't need it? Don't you need it? Ha ha! Hahaha! Jerry suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "It's really ridiculous, a mediocre civilization actually uses this method to threaten our Gaia civilization, aren't you afraid of causing another war?" ”

"We've already been through a war, Your Excellency." Tian Lao replied bluntly.

Tian Lao's attitude is very clear, the earth civilization has already experienced a war. Therefore, the earth civilization is not afraid of another war, since the other party does not know how to respect the earth civilization, then the earth civilization will let the other party know what respect is in the war. The guidelines of the Milky Way. But it is not the norm of the earth's civilization, and although the earth's civilization is weak, it also has its own pride and persistence.

He stared at Tian Lao and the other two members of the delegation with angry eyes, but what he saw was still persistence and determination. Jerry's heart couldn't help but sink, he knew that his mission had failed, but the frustration of failure was no match for the anger and humiliation brought to him by the attitude of the civilization of the earth, yes. It was anger and humiliation that, in Jerry's view, humiliated him deeply with a stubbornness that he could not understand. humiliated the entire Gaian civilization.

"You're going to regret it!" If the words are not speculative, then there is no need to talk about it, Jerry gritted his teeth and dropped the sentence and turned to leave, and the representative who followed him hurriedly followed Jerry away, but Kabakas was the last to go. He looked at the three earthlings in front of him with strange eyes. There was a mysterious expression on the corner of his mouth.

Back at the quarters, Jerry gave the order to leave immediately, and his subordinates hurried to pack their things, when Kabakas walked in.

"How dare these primitive civilizations like bugs treat me like this? How dare you treat our Gaian civilization like this? Jerry's heart burned with rage, and he yelled angrily in the room, lifting his foot and kicking a chair into the corner.

"Your Excellency, there is no need for this." Kabakas stepped aside. Bend down and lift the chair up.

"It doesn't have to be like this? Cabakas, do I have to accept it? Did you know? Once I return to my home planet I'll be the laughing stock of the Senate, and I don't know how many of the Senators will see my jokes about it. Jerry waved his hands, looking extremely excited.

"So what? Everything you did was done exactly as the Senate decided, you just did everything you were supposed to do. Kabakas comforted him, and shook his head with a long sigh.

Jerry gritted his teeth and cursed a few more words, then shook his head in frustration, he turned to look at Kabakas who was leaning back in his chair and said, "It seems that your warning is right, this Earth civilization really can't imagine how they think here." ”

As he spoke, Jerry stretched out his finger and pointed to his head, looking unwilling.

Kabakas did not show the slightest joy, but said solemnly: "Your Excellency, I have never given you any warning, but I have only spoken my own judgment. What's more, you can't control the decision of this matter, everything is the decision of the Senate, so I suggest that you report it to the Senate truthfully. ”

"Looks like that's the only way to do it." Jerry had returned to normal at this time and nodded helplessly, and after a short time, his subordinates came to report that all the luggage was ready, and they could evacuate anytime and anywhere. Subsequently, Jerry asked Kabakas to directly inform the Earth civilization side on his behalf, asking him to leave Space City now. This request was quickly agreed to by Earth, and as with the time of arrival, the Gaian civilization quietly boarded the shuttle from the air port, and then took the shuttle back to their warship anchored in space.

Soon after Jerry returned to the battleship, the battleship that had been in synchronous orbit with the space city began to break away and gradually increased its speed, and when its speed increased to a certain extent, the other party did not hesitate to enter the curvature navigation, with a distortion of space, the huge battleship plunged into the distorted space, just a blink of an eye, the battleship completely disappeared in front of people's eyes.

"The Gaians are gone." In a corner of Space City, Tian Lao was standing in front of the projection screen looking at the dark universe, and the direction of this universe was where the Gaian warship was just now, and now the Gaian warship had disappeared from this position, and the breakdown of the negotiation caused the Gaians to leave the solar system as quickly as possible.

Hearing the voice behind him, he didn't need to turn around to know that the person who spoke was his deputy Jedidia, who was standing not far behind Tian Lao, also silently watching the scene of the Gaia people leaving just now.

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let's go......." Tian Lao suddenly said something that a great man once said, and this sentence was so appropriate for this occasion. As for what will happen after the Gaia people leave the solar system and return to their home planet, or what kind of decision the Gaia civilization will make on the earth civilization, Tian Lao does not know for the time being, but he knows that this will be a severe test for the earth civilization after entering the cosmic civilization, and this test will also be related to the future of the entire earth civilization.

"Do you think we can really defeat the Gaia civilization again if the war breaks out again?" Jedidia is one of the very few people in the government who knows about the existence of the Earth base, although he also agrees with the decision of the Earth Federal Government, and it can even be said that with the pride of the Earth civilization or the people of the Earth, this decision does not surprise him. However, for the war that is likely to break out again, Jededia has no bottom in his heart, although the earth civilization is stronger than before, but the gap between the earth civilization and the Gaia civilization is still obvious, coupled with the dormancy of the earth base and the uncontrolled Pluto base system, the real power that can defend the earth in the earth civilization is the space fleet.

The space fleet that is not what it used to be has more powerful force in the past, and even has dark matter strategic weapons as a deterrent, but can it really protect the earth's civilization in the confrontation between the two sides alone? For this answer, Jedidiah had no idea at all.

"We've got time, don't worry, boy." Tian Lao's attitude was more optimistic, he smiled and said to Jedidia: "It takes a lot of time for the Gaia people to come and go, so we still have at least ten years to prepare, I think that in these ten years, the earth civilization is enough to have the power to protect itself, even if it can't win a complete victory, but it won't be too much of a problem to hit the other party hard." Besides, don't forget that we still have the Vanguard, maybe the Pioneer will come back by then, as soon as the Pioneer returns, then our planet will ....... ”

"Earth Base!" Jedidia's eyes lit up.

Tian Lao nodded slightly, with a very determined look in his expression. Tian Lao's explanation and analysis made Jedidia feel at ease, if the earth base can be activated again, then there will be no problem in dealing with the Gaia civilization. Oh, yes! Why didn't he think of the Vanguard? As soon as the Pioneer returns, won't everything be solved?

Compared with Jedidia, who suddenly realized and relieved his heart, Tian Lao's smile on the surface was extremely heavy, because he didn't know if Su Yichen would come back safely, let alone when the Pioneer would come back, not to mention that even if they came back, with his understanding, it was clear that Su Yichen couldn't order the Earth Base at all, he didn't have this authority, and these were all things that Jedidia didn't know.
