Chapter 1205: The Timing of War
"You're going to meet a member of the Creators Alliance?" Beya was very surprised, and seemed to think that something was wrong with Zhang Xiaogang's head.
Bei Yang frowned and thought seriously.
"It's a step that has to be taken." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have any hope for negotiations. The Creators Alliance has received the news that we have formed an alliance with Abarca, and the condition of the alliance is that we will deal with the Creators Alliance. Perhaps, I will be able to convince some of the members of the Creators' Alliance, but the vast majority of the Creators' Alliance's members will not be aligned with us. β
"Then why do you want to see them?"
"Time."
Bei Ya was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhang Xiaogang a little incomprehensibly.
"First of all, we are not ready for war. Although 10 billion legions are retained, it is definitely not enough to defeat the Creators Alliance at once. That is, if we want to defeat the Creator Alliance in the shortest possible time, we need more legions. Obviously, this is related to the great integration of intelligent civilizations. Only if we solve the basic problem of the Great Fusion, then we will have enough troops to deal with the Creator Alliance. β
Bei Ya nodded slightly, indicating that she understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.
"Secondly, we have to think in the long term. Even if we had 100 billion legions in our hands, it would take more than three rounds of expansion wars to completely wipe out the Creator Alliance, and that would take a lot of time. If we could wipe out the Creators Alliance in two rounds of expansion wars, we would be able to save a lot of time. To win the war of expansion in two rounds, it is necessary not only to have enough legions, adequate war preparations, but also to have appropriate tactical arrangements. To do this, we need to have a deeper and more thorough understanding of the Creator Alliance and prepare for tactical deployment. Obviously, the best way to understand the enemy is to engage with the enemy, and negotiation is one of the ways to do so. β
"The problem is, it's too dangerous."
Zhang Xiaogang pressed his hand and said, "There is the most important point. If we use the tactics of the past against the Creators Alliance, even if we win, we will have to pay a big price. Moreover, this only proves that we have sufficient military strength, but not that we have strong war power. It is important to know that war strength is not only related to troop strength, but also to the ways and means of using troop strength. β
Bei Ya sighed secretly, she knew that it was almost impossible to make Zhang Xiaogang change his mind.
"What are you going to do?" Bei Yang asked.
"Obviously, Bea is right, if I go to meet the members of the Creators Alliance, it must be very dangerous. To put it bluntly, as long as the negotiations break down, it means that we are at war with the Creator Alliance, and the members of the Creator Alliance will definitely not let me go. Even if it doesn't kill me immediately, it will definitely not let me return to the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations. β
Bei Yang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.
"I don't doubt your ability, under your command and Beya, the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations is also capable of defeating the Alliance of Creators. It's just that I've been in charge of planning and directing the expansion war of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations. If I am detained, the expansion war of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations will definitely be affected. β
"So you're going to bring a bodyguard?"
Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Obviously, you are the best bodyguard." β
Bei Yang immediately tightened his brows, he felt that Zhang Xiaogang didn't mean that.
"I'm here for you, in fact, for this matter."
"Let me be your bodyguard and accompany you to meet the members of the Creators Alliance?"
Zhang Xiaogang shook his head and said, "I have already said that I don't have any hope for this negotiation, and I don't expect to bring the Creator Alliance to its knees through negotiations, and I don't even expect to be able to win over many creators through negotiations. To put it bluntly, negotiations are just a faΓ§ade. β
"This ......"
"Since war is inevitable, we need to solve problems through war."
Bei Yang frowned again, and his expression became more complicated.
"That is, during the negotiations, we will start a war."
Beyan wasn't surprised, he had already thought of it. Bea was surprised, because in her opinion, it was too much.
"Actually, even if we don't start a war, the Creators Alliance will start a war."
"But ......"
Zhang Xiaogang glanced at Beya and said, "Don't be merciful to the enemy, after we issued the most terrible ultimatum, the Creator Alliance became our enemy. β
Bea still doesn't quite understand, or rather can't accept.
"Actually, when Connor brought the news back, I knew that the Creators Alliance, or at least the powerful members, had no intention of forming an alliance with us. They have already begun to prepare for war, and will start it at the right time. β
"When you go to negotiate with them, it's the best time to go to war." Beyan said.
Zhang Xiaogang nodded slightly and said, "What is the key to knowing the Dao?" β
Bei Yang smiled and didn't say anything more. Beya shook her head, indicating that she didn't quite understand.
"Quite simply, the Alliance of Creators has raised a key issue, our relationship with Abaka, and in raising this critical issue, it has deliberately ignored the most fundamental issue."
"What?"
"Why does the Creators Alliance consider Abarca a mortal enemy?" Without waiting for Beya to answer, Zhang Xiaogang said again, "In the final analysis, the contradiction between the Creator Alliance and Abacar is the right to survive, that is, in the war of the intelligent civilization of the Abaca family, the Trulli threatened all other intelligent civilizations, forcing other family members to unite against Abaca, and the Creator Alliance appeared." It can be seen that the basis of the existence of the Creators Alliance is not to be an enemy of Abaka, but to fight for the right to exist for all members. β
Bea nodded slightly, which was easy to understand.
This is a very simple truth, and it is impossible for the members of the Creators Alliance to be unaware. What's more, it's no longer the time for the Wisdom Civilization War, Abaka is no longer their number one threat, and the Trulli are not waging war against their Wisdom Civilization. If Abaka loses the family war and the Trulli people lose, then the Creators Alliance will definitely not be the opponent of other families, and they will also perish and lose their right to live. Obviously, for the Creators' Alliance, the only way to survive is to form an alliance with Abaka against foreign invasions. Of course, if Abaka is committed to the survival of the Creators Alliance, then there is even less reason for the Creators Alliance to refuse to ally with Abaca. In fact, Abaka has already given us a promise, and joining the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations happens to give us the right to live, but the Creators Alliance has rejected our invitation on the grounds that it is an enemy of Abaka. β
"It's weird."
Zhang Xiaogang smiled reluctantly and said, "Obviously, the Creators Alliance just found an excuse to refuse our invitation to form an alliance. β
"The question is, what does this have to do with you?"
"Instead of going to war immediately, we negotiated with the Creators Alliance first, enough for the powerful creators to realize that we have very limited time. That's why we're definitely going to try to negotiate some of the creators. β
"This ......"
"Obviously, after Connor's efforts failed, we would definitely make a bigger effort, and it would make sense for me to negotiate with them."
"In other words, those creators intend to take this opportunity against you?"
Zhang Xiaogang nodded, indicating that this is what he meant.
"In that case, you can't negotiate with them."
"On the contrary, I should negotiate with them."
"For what?"
"It's very simple, as long as I go, those powerful creators will think that the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations will naturally not start a war before the negotiations are over. That's right, they will think that if they can control me, then they can use me to blackmail the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations. β
"This ......"
"Of course, even if they don't plan to destroy the Alliance of Wise Civilizations, they can control the Alliance of Wise Civilizations in this way. To put it bluntly, it's not that they don't know the importance of forming an alliance with the Alliance of Wise Civilizations, but they don't want to be controlled by the Alliance of Wise Civilizations through the alliance. β
"They will control the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations?"
Zhang Xiaogang nodded, and said: "It's just that they definitely don't know what to do, we are ready to start a war, and we will start a war immediately." β
"In that case, you'll have to let me stay." Beyan said.
"Let you stay, then our war intentions will be too obvious. You must know that when the Alliance of Wisdom and Civilization left the Beya family, it was you who stayed behind and commanded the Akula Legion to fight the Trulli on the frontal battlefield. What's more, all the remaining legions we have now belong to the Akula. If you stay in the central system, those powerful creators will think that we will start a war during the negotiations. β
"This ......"
"Obviously, if you're in the negotiations, they're going to let their guard down."
"But if I go to the negotiations, who will command the legion?"
Zhang Xiaogang smiled and looked at Beya.
Bei Yang was slightly stunned, and then showed a look of surprise.
"Bea is also a creator and has experience commanding legions in battle. What's more, those powerful creators don't know Bea very well, and even if they do, they don't think of Bea as a good commander, let alone think that Bea will command the Akula legions. β
"This ......"
"Only in this way can we catch the enemy by surprise. Of course, the main target of the first round of expansion war is only a small number of creators with strong strength in the Creator Alliance, and the attack range will be very limited, and we have invested enough troops, so it should not be very difficult to attack. β
