Chapter 962 - No Choice
"Obviously, we will not surrender and cannot surrender." Zhang Xiaogang paused slightly, and then said, "Even if from another point of view, the representatives of the Debaran people suddenly come to us and tell us that they are willing to surrender, and through surrender in exchange for the treatment of the Arcadians, that is, to become an intelligent civilization dependent on us, I will not agree." The Arcadians accepted our placement after a complete defeat, but the Debarans were completely different, and the creator of the Debaran people is still alive. In order to completely eliminate the hidden danger, we can only kill everything. By the same token, even if we declare our surrender now, the Debarans will drive us to the end. ”
No one objected, because what Zhang Xiaogang said was the truth.
"The key is not the Debarang people, but the creators of the Debarang people." Ali sighed and said, "Again, I'm key. ”
Zhang Xiaogang nodded slightly, this is what he was going to say.
As long as the creators of the two intelligent civilizations exist, and neither is willing to give up, then this war between the intelligent civilizations will not end in the form of one side surrendering.
"It's just that if the war goes on in the way it is, not only will we lose nothing, but we will lose everything."
"That's the most critical issue." Zhang Xiaogang glanced at Chu Tianjiang and said, "Now, we have two choices. The first is to send an invitation to the Debarang people to form an alliance. If an alliance can be formed with the Debarans, even if it is recognized that the Debarans have the same status in the alliance as humans, the war can be immediately ended and common destruction avoided. Provided, of course, that the people of Debarão also believe that an alliance can bring benefits. ”
"An alliance can really bring benefits to the people of Debaran."
Zhang Xiaogang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The problem is that the people of Debarang may not see it this way. ”
"For what?"
"Don't forget, this is an alliance created by us, led by us, and even if we promise to give the Debarão people the same status, it means that the Debarão people join the alliance, which means that the Debarão people are not the dominant force in the alliance, which is equivalent to making the Debarão admit that they have been defeated, and they have to join the alliance only to avoid mutual destruction. For the Debarans, who had long planned to fight to the death with the Omno people, if they had thought that an alliance was preferable, the war would have ended long ago. Don't forget, the Honorians used the same method to make the Debarans let their guard down, and then attacked the Debarans, destroying the Debarans' home system. Even if we are not Ono and show sincerity, we may not be able to gain the trust of the Debaran people, but we may be misunderstood by the Debaran people. ”
"What's the second option?"
"Utterly destroy the people of Debaran."
Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times and glanced at Ali.
"Obviously, the creator of the Debaran people is no better than Buckley, and since you can kill Buckley, you also have the ability to kill the creator of the Debaran people. Of course, he may not have a decisive battle with you, but he must fight you when he has no other choice. ”
"No choice?"
"Destroy all the star systems controlled by the Debarans."
Chu Tianjiang was startled and looked at Zhang Xiaogang in disbelief.
"Admittedly, this is an extreme solution, but in the current situation, it may be the only way we can win the war before we destroy it."
"The question is, what's the benefit?"
Zhang Xiaogang smiled, he didn't think this was a problem.
"Lao Zhang is right, this is the only feasible way at present." Ali sighed and said, "Of course, we will lose thousands of star systems because of this, but we can save more than a thousand star systems of the Ono people. For us, the good thing is that it will not be completely destroyed. ”
"But ......"
"If we don't, the war will soon spread, and we will lose not only all the star systems controlled by the Honorians, but everything we have now." Zhang Xiaogang paused slightly, and then said, "If we can't turn the tide of the war as soon as possible, I'm afraid disaster will come soon." ”
"Disaster?"
"The war has been stalemate for a while, and our military strength has been unable to make ends meet, even if we let the soldiers who have just completed the transformation participate in the battle, we can only barely maintain the current situation." Zhang Xiaogang sighed, "There have been many alliances of intelligent civilizations that have proposed that they should be allowed to join this war and that they should form a military force. Of course, the reason they put forward is that humanity is no longer able to provide adequate security. ”
"This ......"
"Obviously, if we get to this point, the alliance will not exist, at least our dominance in the alliance will disappear without a trace."
Chu Tianjiang was silent, this was indeed an extremely serious problem.
To know the Dao, for those allied intelligent civilizations to form military strength, it is necessary to let them enter the stage of self-evolution, and it is also necessary to let them develop science and technology. For human civilization, this means that in the future, the intelligent civilization of each alliance will have sufficient autonomy. What's more, these intelligent civilizations also need the most important resource, the star core, to build up their military power. If we take a longer view, sooner or later, the relationship between humanity and its allies will break down due to the allocation of resources, and even wars will break out as a result. At that time, human civilization will not face one enemy, but hundreds of enemies, and it will need to fight hundreds of intelligent civilizations.
"Obviously, we need to turn things around immediately." Ali stood on Zhang Xiaogang's side again. "Although for us, the main value of the alliance is not to control other intelligent civilizations, but only by controlling other intelligent civilizations can we obtain the necessary resources to sustain the war, and can we also build a strong enough military force. Losing the lead means that we will lose the opportunity for development. ”
"In that case, the only way is to change the purpose of the war and destroy the people of Debarão once and for all."
Chu Tianjiang sighed, he had no way to raise an objection.
"It's just that there's one more problem that we have to solve."
"What's the problem?"
"Who's going to do it?" Zhang Xiaogang didn't look at Chu Tianjiang, but continued, "Obviously, if we change the purpose of the war, we will soon be discovered by the Debarang people. When the time comes, the people of Debarão will have no choice but to deal with us in the same way, and to try to destroy us once and for all. Unfortunately, we control far fewer star systems than the Debarans, so there's a good chance we'll be the first to finish. ”
"That is, someone needs to stay behind to protect our star system?"
Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "If our enemies are only Debarangs, we can leave enough warriors in the main star system. The problem is that our enemies are not just the Debarans, and those who are capable of dealing with the creators are clearly not human warriors. ”
Ali smiled reluctantly, of course she understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.
"So, I'm going to have to destroy the Debarão star system?" Chu Tianjiang was a little helpless, because in addition to reason, only he had this ability.
Zhang Xiaogang nodded slightly and said, "Ali stays in the second home and opens a space bridge for you." ”
Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and looked at Ali.
"It's a way to go. All you need to do is destroy the main star in the galaxy and enter the space bridge, and nothing else. ”
Chu Tianjiang didn't say much, he knew that this would work.
The problem is that destroying a galaxy is equivalent to destroying ten trillion, or even twenty trillion, Debarans.
"Of course, if there is another way, we can also discuss."
"Perhaps, we should first send an invitation to the people of Debarão to form an alliance." Chu Tianjiang paused slightly. "If the Debarans refuse to ally with us, it's not too late to act."
"It's really a solution, but have you thought about a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"If we send an invitation to form an alliance, will it be regarded by the people of Debarão as the most unscrupulous ultimatum?"
Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this problem.
"What would have happened if the people of Debarão had thought that this had been our worst ultimatum, and they thought that the alliance was just a cover to let their guard down? On the other hand, if we were Debarans, we would definitely strike first. ”
Ali nodded and said, "Lao Zhang is right. If it were me, in this case, I would immediately destroy the second home of human civilization. ”
Chu Tianjiang was silent, and he also knew that there would be such a result.
"As long as we act quickly, we can destroy the major star systems of the Debarão people before they can react, at least hundreds of major star systems, and devastate the Debarão people, so that the Debarão people know that it is impossible to win this war. When the time comes, another invitation to form an alliance may be more likely to make the people of Debarão realize the reality. Of course, it is possible to end the war before total destruction. ”
"We have absolute superiority in order to make it possible for the Debarão people to give up resistance. Of course, it is also necessary to convince the Debarão that our goal is to seize the star system, not to destroy the Debarans, so that the Debarão people know that surrender or alliance is the only way to survive. ”
"As Ali said, this is how we need to make the people of Debarão understand our purpose."
"Obviously, you've thought about it a long time ago."
Zhang Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
Ali Ze didn't say anything, she just agreed with Zhang Xiaogang's point of view and didn't discuss it with Zhang Xiaogang in advance.
"It seems that we have no other choice." Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "That's it, let's start acting immediately." ”
Now that Chu Tianjiang agreed, Zhang Xiaogang didn't say anything more.
He said so much, just to get Chu Tianjiang to accept his proposal.
