Following Ali to the first star, Chu Tianjiang first found Iska.

As Zhang Xiaogang said, in addition to collecting as much intelligence as possible, Iska has been negotiating with representatives of intelligent civilizations near the second home of human civilization.

Of course, there is no secret to this.

After the human civilization launched the Charunt War, the all-out war of the intelligent civilization broke out. It is the intelligent civilization created by Delia that keeps up with the pace of human civilization. The star system where this intelligent civilization was born is very far away from the solar system, about 5,000 light-years, almost on the other side of the galaxy. Before its expansion, this intelligent civilization had more than 100 star systems and more than 500 billion individuals, making it the most powerful intelligent civilization in the region. In the first round of external expansion, the intelligent civilization captured more than 30 nearby star systems, resulting in the complete destruction of more than 10 intelligent civilizations. By the end of the Charent War, the intelligent civilization had more than 500 star systems under its control. Obviously, in terms of the rate of expansion, this intelligent civilization far surpasses that of human civilization, and is more barbaric.

It's just nothing.

Throughout the galaxy, on this spiral arm where the Becca family is located, to be exact, war is everywhere. By the end of the Charent War, tens of thousands of intelligent civilizations had become history, and thousands of intelligent civilizations had tasted the sweetness of the war. Even some weak intelligent civilizations have embarked on the path of expansion, hoping to increase their strength through expansion and become a powerful intelligent civilization.

It's just that the situation is not out of control.

The Bekaa family is home to hundreds of billions of star systems, the largest of which are all in the hands of the Beka and the members of the family council.

Not to mention, Becca has tens of thousands of massive star systems in his hands.

In addition, about one-third of the star systems belong to the common property of the family. That is, in these star systems, either there is no intelligent civilization born, or there is only an intelligent civilization in the natural stage of evolution. Because these star systems are governed by a family council, they have not been invaded.

At least, no family member had dared to go against the family meeting led by Becca.

As long as Beka's position is not shaken, and the members of the family council remain united by his side, then the war between intelligent civilizations will not shake the foundation of the family.

In a sense, this is also the main reason why Becca let human civilization go to war.

It is important to know that the star systems controlled by Becca and the members of the family council account for more than one-third of the total number of galaxies, and almost all of them are the largest and most resourceful star systems. If you use resources, that is, the number of star cores, Becca and the family council members occupy more than half. In this way, even if all other star systems are controlled by a family member, it is unlikely that it will have more power than the family council led by Becca. If other star systems are controlled by two or more family members, it is even less likely to pose a threat to Bekaa. From this point of view, the ultimate result of this all-out war is nothing more than the re-emergence of a ruling order with the Bekaa at its core. Although many family members will be finished, the family will not be finished, and neither will Becca.

From another point of view, after the end of the war, the strength of the Beka family will not weaken, but will increase.

That is, the family members who persisted until the end of the war were definitely stronger than the current family members, and even if the number decreased, the overall strength could increase.

As long as the position is not shaken, Becca can accept such an outcome.

Because of this, Becca did not intervene to prevent the war.

The problem is that this is not the case for many family members, especially those of low status. They are cannon fodder for this war, and most of them will not live to the moment when the war ends, but no family member is willing to accept such an ending.

No one wants to die, all family members want to live.

Zhang Xiaogang took advantage of this.

For low-status family members, the only way to survive is to find someone to rely on, or hug each other and face the war together.

Iska is not good at negotiating, it just doesn't matter much.

Human civilization has waged two wars and wiped out two intelligent civilizations, one of which is the Chalunt civilization with a similar difference in strength.

More importantly, human civilization has not exterminated other intelligent civilizations.

Even the Charent civilization was retained after the end of the war, gaining the power to live and reproduce, as well as the space and resources needed to live and reproduce.

Comparatively speaking, human civilization has a more civilized approach in expansion wars.

You must know that the wars waged by those powerful intelligent civilizations are all wiped out, and they will definitely not leave room for other intelligent civilizations to survive.

This also became Iscar's main bargaining chip in the negotiations.

That is, as long as it is allied with human civilization, human civilization will provide security for the weak intelligent civilization, as well as the space and resources necessary to maintain life and reproduction. What a weak intelligent civilization has to do is just to give up some resources and make human civilization stronger.

The problem is that this has also become a major obstacle to negotiations.

In the eyes of many representatives of intelligent civilization, Iskar's proposal has nothing to do with the strength of human civilization, but shows that human civilization is not strong enough.

That is, if human civilization is strong enough, why should we negotiate terms with weak intelligent civilizations?

Those truly powerful intelligent civilizations will never negotiate terms with weak intelligent civilizations, and will not even give weak intelligent civilizations a chance to surrender.

In the vast majority of wars, there is simply no such thing as "surrender".

The winner gains everything, and the loser loses everything.

As a result, after Iskar's conditions, representatives of intelligent civilizations close to the solar system and their second home put forward more conditions.

Zhang Xiaogang has already mentioned these.

Most intelligent civilizations have proposed that even if an alliance is formed with human civilization as the core, it should form an alliance to face possible invasions together, and to wage expansion wars together, and to divide the benefits of war according to the amount of military power provided.

Obviously, this exceeded Zhang Xiaogang's bottom line, and the negotiations did not make much progress.

Only one thing is certain, even the most expensive intelligent civilization knows that around them, human beings are the most powerful intelligent civilization. Regardless of the final discussion, the only way for these intelligent civilizations to survive is to ally with human civilization. If the negotiations break down, they will become the enemies of human civilization, and they will be wiped out in the war of expansion launched by human civilization.

It is precisely because of this that the negotiations did not break down.

When Chu Tianjiang arrived, negotiations were still ongoing.

"We have convinced several intelligent civilizations, and they have basically accepted our conditions. It's just that the vast majority of intelligent civilizations believe that as long as the stalemate continues, they can get more benefits. Iskar sighed and added, "Perhaps, we should start a war." ”

"That's for sure, and we're starting to prepare."

"When does it start?"

"Soon."

Iskar nodded and said, "If those intelligent civilizations can be made to understand the situation through this war, maybe the negotiations will soon be fruitful." ”

"We're going to show our strength and give them no choice."

"Just to show your strength?" Kisstis glanced at Chu Tianjiang and said, "I think we should teach a lesson to those intelligent civilizations that don't know the height of the sky. ”

"For what?"

"If they don't let them suffer, they won't be able to recognize the importance of an alliance with us."

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "If necessary, we will do it." Only now, we must first demonstrate the war power of human civilization. ”

"Anyway, without being taught a lesson, they won't cherish what they have now."

Iskar glared at Kistis, telling her to shut up.

"Okay, you all go get busy, I want to rest for a while."

"I'll report back to you when there's news."

Chu Tianjiang nodded and watched Iskar and the others leave.

Ali and Clara did not leave, they were not representatives of human civilization and did not participate in the negotiations, so they did not express their opinions when discussing the negotiations.

"Ali, what do you think?"

"Everyone is fighting for their own interests, but the benefits that can be distributed are limited, so we can't satisfy everyone's appetite."

"So, you agree with Kistis's proposal?"

Ali smiled and said, "The war has broken out in full swing, and Becca is still silent. Obviously, until the moment when the war ended, Becca would not come forward. In that case, we should let go of it. What we are encountering now is only some of the most basic problems. In the future, we will encounter even greater challenges. Whether it is an alliance or an annexation, human civilization must develop and grow at the fastest speed. ”

"Well, we're going to have to do something meaningful."

"What?"

"If we could, we would need more science and technology."

Ali nodded, indicating that he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.

Chu Tianjiang let out a long breath and said, "Of course, we still have to do something that can promote the formation of the alliance. ”

"What?"

"For example, let those members of the family who want to get more benefits from us know how powerful you are and realize that joining you is the only option."

Ali was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to understand what Chu Tianjiang meant.

"If you can, you have to give them a chance to see what you're capable of. I believe that what you see with your own eyes is more convincing than any hearsay. ”

"You mean, let them watch the war?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "Show your strength in front of them and let them know the cruelty of the war, maybe you can help them make a decision." ”

Ali nodded slightly, then smiled.
