"That's the second thing you're going to say?"

"And the last thing."

Zhang Xiaogang let out a long breath and said, "I admit that you have a point, and I will also consider the method you proposed, but I can't give you an answer now." ”

"For what?"

"We have more important things to deal with." Zhang Xiaogang smiled reluctantly and said, "Of course, I will give an order to the regiments fighting on the front line to temporarily stop military operations. It's just that you should know that just my promise can't change the fate of those Arcadians. If they cannot surrender and accept our arrangement, I will have no choice. If you want to save them, you'll have to think of something else. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Make good use of the Acadians' 'daughters of God.'"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

"Alright, if nothing else, I'll go get busy."

"Lao Zhang ......"

"What, there's a third thing?"

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before."

Zhang Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You and me, do you still need to say this?" Besides, after getting to know you, we have a lot of misunderstandings, right? ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled and sighed, this is the truth.

"Alright, you'd better talk to Arley. It's just that it's not too late to make a decision on how to deal with it after the alliance is formed. ”

Chu Tianjiang didn't bother Zhang Xiaogang anymore and went to find Ali.

After he proposed the method Zhang Xiaogang said, Ali agreed to it, but instead of objecting, he thought that it was the most ideal way. It's just that like Zhang Xiaogang, Ali also believes that the affairs of the alliance should be dealt with first, and then decide what to do with the remaining Arcadians.

It's just that Ali spoke more thoroughly.

That is, after the alliance is established, the Arcadians can be used as a subordinate civilization of mankind, and the status of human civilization in the alliance can be enhanced.

The point is, the scale of human civilization is too small.

It is important to know that among the dozens of civilizations that have formed alliances, two-thirds of the intelligent civilizations have more individuals than human civilizations. Human civilization is very small in terms of the number of individuals. Obviously, it is very difficult to get so many intelligent civilizations to obey the command of human civilization. To put it more bluntly, if the military strength of human civilization is questioned in the next war, the alliance will fall apart. If the Acadians had become an integral part of human civilization in the form of a subordinate civilization, this problem would have been solved.

Of course, there is an added benefit.

That is, for those intelligent civilizations that have not yet joined the alliance, but are very close to human civilization, becoming a subordinate civilization of mankind is also one of the ways to protect themselves. In other words, it is equivalent to giving these intelligent civilizations a second choice, which will have a stronger attraction.

Of course, only the more powerful intelligent civilization has this choice.

If it is a weak and intelligent civilization, then forming an alliance with human civilization and becoming a member of the alliance is still the only option.

All in all, forming an alliance first is a top priority.

In Ali's words, whether or not an alliance can be formed in time will most likely have an impact on the next expansion war. The point is that the size of human civilization is seriously disproportionate to the star systems it controls, so human civilization has become fat in the eyes of many powerful civilizations.

You must know that after defeating the Arcadian civilization, there are seventy star systems controlled by human civilization, and if you count the undeveloped star systems that Ali obtained, there are close to two hundred. In the region where human civilization is located, this is definitely a very large scale. If it were to be replaced by other civilizations, there would be at least a trillion individuals, and it would take so many individuals to control and develop these star systems, and defend against invasions that could come at any time. The problem is that human civilization has a total of less than two trillion people. In addition, even the military strength of human civilization is not enough to protect so many star systems. Human civilization needs at least seventy legions based on one legion to protect a star system, and close to two hundred legions if you count unexplored star systems, and human civilization now has less than thirty legions. This bit of military strength is far from enough to even protect itself, let alone expand externally.

Obviously, if human civilization remains on its current scale, it is only a matter of time before it is invaded.

Now, here's the problem.

Even if Zhang Xiaogang gave up his intention to kidnap human civilization, it would take decades, or even centuries, for the scale of human civilization to reach the minimum level of self-preservation. If Zhang Xiaogang had not given up this idea, then human civilization would never have reached this scale.

Obviously, forming an alliance is the only way out.

In fact, this is the key reason why Zhang Xiaogang actively promoted the establishment of the alliance.

Although the scale of human civilization has not expanded, the total number of individuals has exceeded 200 billion if other intelligent civilizations in the alliance are counted. For the more than three hundred star systems owned by the entire alliance, this scale is not small, at least it is more than enough for self-preservation.

The point is that for those powerful intelligent civilizations that covet human beings, they see an alliance, not a single intelligent civilization in the alliance.

The size of the alliance, if not enough to instill fear among these powerful and intelligent civilizations, will at least make them give up the idea of invading human civilization.

Obviously, this is precisely the main point of the formation of the alliance.

You must know that neither Zhang Xiaogang nor Ali expected to launch an expansion war through the alliance, nor did they think of letting other intelligent civilizations in the alliance participate in the expansion war. All human civilization needs is the security provided by the alliance and resources from other intelligent civilizations.

With this, human civilization can begin to transform.

That is, after the formation of the alliance, human civilization will develop in the direction of full-scale militarization.

Although before the full militarization, human civilization still needs to develop star systems and exploit the resources in star systems, but this internal production capacity will gradually decrease, and the degree of dependence on other intelligent civilizations in the alliance will gradually increase, and finally achieve the purpose of no longer participating in production and labor, only engaging in foreign wars, and providing security guarantees for other intelligent civilizations, so as to make human civilization a thorough military civilization.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang also realized this.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Tianjiang proposed to Zhang Xiaogang to keep the remaining Acadians and let the Acadians serve human civilization.

Obviously, a subordinate civilization with 15 billion individuals is very valuable.

At the very least, this subsidiary civilization can provide most of the resources in the early stage of the transformation of human civilization, so that human civilization can expand its military strength at a faster rate.

Zhang Xiaogang must have seen this, so he will adopt Chu Tianjiang's suggestion.

Of course, the first priority is still the formation of alliances.

Interestingly, when dealing with matters related to the formation of the alliance, Zhang Xiaogang and Ali were extremely cautious, even more careful than Chu Tianjiang expected.

At that time, the first thing Ali did was to open a two-way space bridge.

Zhang Xiaogang is not idle, he will send the newly formed legions to the star system where the intelligent civilizations that have agreed to join the alliance are located, and then control the entire star system, and let these intelligent civilizations accept the transformation work led by human civilization according to the agreement reached by the creator.

As a result, more and more intelligent civilizations are under control.

It's just that Zhang Xiaogang didn't immediately organize the colonization and development work, but just asked the sent legion to start collecting the star core and send the star core back to his second home.

In a sense, human civilization is also not capable enough to colonize these star systems.

The Acadian War is not over yet, and there are already many colonists in the star systems that were previously occupied. What's more, it is now an ally, not an enemy, that is being faced. Even if these allies are not much better off than their enemies, they cannot engage in colonization activities with great fanfare.

Progress was very slow, and neither Ali nor Zhang Xiaogang had any intention of rushing.

It took half a year for all allied intelligent civilizations to be controlled.

According to the agreement reached by the creators, the next step will be to formally form a coalition.

For creators who have given up their autonomy, there is no room for manoeuvre. They had no choice but to follow Ali's orders and arrangements.

The alliance ceremony is scheduled in the second home, not on the first star.

This was Ali's idea, mainly because he didn't want to make it too public, so as not to attract the attention of those powerful and intelligent civilizations, and avoid the possible blows.

To put it bluntly, there must have been a lot of problems in the early days of the alliance, and it was also the most vulnerable time.

If a powerful civilization sees the Alliance as a major threat, even if it is only a potential threat, it will start a war at this time and destroy the Alliance once and for all.

Wait until the alliance is consolidated and then announce the news, so there is no need to worry about this.

Fortunately, the Arcadian War is not over yet, and almost all powerful intelligent civilizations are waging war, so not many powerful intelligent civilizations have noticed this. As for those creators leaving the first star, it's not a big deal. They may have returned to a galaxy of their own creation, or they may have gone somewhere else. Besides, they have been in contact with Ali and have been discussing alliances with human civilization. Even if they went to their second home, it wasn't a strange thing.

In a sense, time is more important than anything else.

According to Zhang Xiaogang's arrangement, it will only take half a year at most to complete the transformation of the alliance's intelligent civilization, and then the news will be announced.

has been waiting for half a year, Chu Tianjiang obviously won't care about waiting for another half a year.

Zhang Xiaogang also fulfilled his promise and temporarily stopped the war operations in the Acadian civilization, waiting for the alliance to stabilize and make a decision on the fate of the participating Acadians.
