Chapter 384: Ultimatum
The Norma Empire, the third galaxy, is located near the periphery of the Silver Blue Star Field.
A bizarre spaceship rushes out of subspace at superluminal speeds and sails rapidly towards the star circle, the capital of the Norma Empire.
As soon as the ship appeared, it broadcast a message to the Norma Empire.
"The Norma Empire obeys orders, we are the diplomatic corps of the Silver and Blue Empire, and we have been ordered to come to negotiate diplomatic matters! No armed spacecraft is allowed to come within a light-year radius of the mission's spacecraft, and violators will be killed! ”
This radio message quickly spread to the entire Norma Empire within a radius of ten light-years.
The spacecraft along the way that received this broadcast signal were afraid to avoid it.
Even the warships patrolled by the Norma Empire's military had to take shelter for the time being.
No way, for the Silver Blue Empire, any small vassal country is an inferior force, and enjoys inferior treatment to ordinary civilians in the empire.
Although, there is only one spaceship.
However, as far as the Norma Empire is concerned, it does not dare to have the slightest disobedience and dissatisfaction.
Even, according to etiquette.
The Norma Empire also sent the Royal Escort to pilot the ship and clear the way for the ships of the envoys in front.
Of course, as the empress, Lina also knew that this was not the time to fight with the Silver Blue Empire, so she had to follow the example of her father and greet the spaceship of the Silver Blue Empire's envoys with the highest courtesy.
Moreover, Lina also personally led the team, aboard the battleship of the Royal Guard, and led the team for the envoy spacecraft.
"In the Lower Norma Empire, the fifty-ninth Empress Norma Lina, I don't know who is the head of the envoy?"
Linna's royal frigate took the initiative to fly out of the capital circle and greeted the envoys of the Silver and Blue Empire.
The top representative of the opposing legation is named Florence, a newly promoted diplomat of the Silver and Blue Empire.
Soon, the other party's communication signal appeared inside Linna's frigate.
"In Lower Florence, I took over the Norma Empire on the order of my emperor, the original old diplomat Steele is old, and he has been disarmed and returned to his hometown planet to retire, from now on, I am the envoy of the Silver Blue Empire to your country, I am ordered by the emperor, Empress Linna, please accept the order!"
The communication screen distorted and turned into a special upload signal.
After receiving this signal, the Norma Empire's spaceship system began to download it automatically.
After downloading the information, an encrypted message appears.
It is shown as the edict of His Majesty the Emperor of the Silver Blue Empire.
Although this is an electronic edict, it is uploaded and downloaded through special encryption means.
It is only possible to receive it by means of a special receiving instrument.
The Royal Guard spacecraft of the Norma Empire was able to receive this encrypted electronic edict because it was installed with this kind of receiving instrument in advance.
After reading the edict, Linna's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
In this electronic edict, the order of the Emperor of the Silver Blue Empire was issued.
Ordered Empress Lina to hand over the magic shield to the diplomat within three months from the date of receipt of the edict and send it back to the Silver Blue Empire.
And a series of 'new protocols' are listed!
To say that it is a new agreement is in fact a means of intimidation and exploitation.
For example, the Norma Empire is not allowed to impose tariffs on the export goods of the Silver Blue Empire, the quota of machinery and equipment exported to the Silver Blue Empire is increased, and the Norma Empire is not allowed to restrict outstanding students from studying in the Silver Blue Empire, etc.
All kinds of strict protocols!
These agreements are all full of threats and exploitation.
Once Lina agrees to the agreement. Niuniu Chinese Network
Then, it is foreseeable that in a very short period of time, the Norma Empire will rapidly decline in national strength, accelerate the outflow of talents, become more dependent on the Silver Blue Empire, and stagnate in science and technology......
Looking at the content of the agreement on the edict, Linna's face became more and more embarrassed!
"Why? Why did the Silver Blue Empire suppress and coerce us so much? Aren't we Norma people? Could it be that we Norma people are wrong to join the Silver Blue Empire? ”
Lina was furious.
However, there is not the slightest sign of negative emotion.
These new treaties that have lost power and humiliated the country are secondary, and the most unbearable thing for Lina is that the Emperor of the Silver Blue Empire actually covets his own 'magic shield'!
You must know that this 'magic shield' is a treasure that condenses the countless efforts of the ancestors for the Norma family, and it is the spiritual pillar of the Norma family.
If the Norma family loses the 'magic shield', it is equivalent to humiliating the ancestors and losing the family's 'roots'!
Although, the current Norma family is only one of Linna's alone.
But Linna, as the only clansman of the Norma family and the only head of the Norma Empire, the meaning of the magic shield to her is far more than her own life!
As long as she can keep the magic shield, Lina can even sacrifice her life without hesitation.
"What to do? It's only the last three months! ”
"The Emperor of the Silver Blue Empire has given me an ultimatum for the last three months, and if I don't make a choice, I may be in danger of the destruction of the entire empire! If I hand over the magic shield and sign the agreement, I am afraid that the end of my Norma Empire will be even more tragic! At that time, my Norma family and even the entire country will be useless garbage, degraded as a slave country by the Silver and Blue Empire, and sent to the starry sky battlefield to be used as cannon fodder......"
The thought of a tragic fate coming to the future!
When I think of my people, I am about to accept the most miserable future for myself......
The anger in Lina's heart continued to accumulate.
"Nope! I can't hand over the magic shield! I can't lead my people to destruction! ”
"Ancestor, why were you so stupid in the first place, why did you believe the sweet words of the gluttonous ministers and join the command of the Silver Blue Empire, if it weren't for that, we wouldn't be so passive, still mermaids!?"
"Why? My Norma family is going to be treated so unfairly! Why? ”
The universe is a dark forest!
In the face of powerful hunters, every critter in the forest must learn to hide itself.
Faced with the ultimatum sent by the envoys of the Silver Blue Empire, Empress Lena fell into a deep silence.
After passing the ultimatum to Empress Lina, the ship of the envoy was quietly hovering at the edge of the Capital Circle, with no intention of going deep into the Capital Circle.
"Your Excellency the Ambassador of Florence, I have prepared a sumptuous feast in the Imperial Palace, and I invite you and your entourage to enjoy the fine food, and as for the content of the new agreement, I think we can wait until we have had enough food and drink, and then discuss it slowly, I wonder what do you think, Mr. Honorable Ambassador?"
Lena was at a loss for what to do and didn't know how to proceed next.
In the end, he was forced to ask the guardian spirit for help.
So, I said the above invitation.
According to the analysis report of the Guardian Spirit, based on previous data analysis, the probability of the Silver Blue Empire's envoys going to the palace for a banquet reached 80%.
As a result, it turned out to be.
After Empress Lina sent out an invitation to the banquet, the envoys of the Silver Blue Empire couldn't hold back their throbbing hearts and urged the ambassador representatives to agree to the empress's invitation.
In fact, anyone who understands knows that this is a simple abnormal feast.
It is clear that the empress wants to bribe these diplomats in order to seek protection and maximize the interests of the Silver and Blue Empire!
And these diplomats are also as clear as mirrors in their hearts.
The two sides are responding to an old saying, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer!
