Chapter 704: Galactic Progressivist Alliance
Zhang Yuan nodded: "Then the Unreal Lab is not a problem, it is technically feasible." ”
The diplomat continued on his topic: "And the third point that follows, the civilizations within the military alliance have independent political rights, do not interfere in each other's internal affairs, and do not export ideologies. ”
"In the event of a major accident, hemispheric civilization will have the right to make its own choice......"
This article means that everyone's political system is still equal, and they develop their own affairs in peacetime, and do not interfere in internal affairs. Retain the necessary exchanges and be consistent with the outside world when fighting wars.
But if you encounter any major special events, or if one side is not having a good time, you can also choose to leave this military alliance and live your own life, which is almost like this.
This condition can also be understood, the two sides are a cooperative relationship, not a vassal relationship, and they can naturally choose to leave.
However, once cooperation is established, it will not be easy to break up peacefully, and various scientific and technological projects will continue, industry will cooperate, and people-to-people exchanges will be expanded, and it will be difficult for these people to evacuate for a while.
According to the current investigation, the political systems of both sides attach more importance to the sentiments of the people, and if they have been in harmony with each other for hundreds or thousands of years, it is not easy to separate.
Moreover, the "peaceful breakup" must at least settle the previous bills. If hemispheric civilization wants to take a war star, then it will have to pay the price of trading 10% of humanity's dominance away. If humans want to run away, it may be easier, but they also have to abandon many of the benefits they already have.
The probability of such a thing happening is not too great, provided that both sides do not go crazy and do not encounter an irresistible catastrophe.
"That's the general framework, and the specific details are yet to be discussed."
Zhang Yuan thought about it for a while and didn't find a particularly big loophole, but he thought that there was still something a little worse in this big framework.
He raised his hand and signaled: "Since the two sides want to form an alliance, they must still have something of a programmatic nature, and an alliance without an ideological program is not reliable." ”
"Ideological program?" Foreign Minister Yang frowned and said, "Lao Zhang, you are giving us a problem, an ideological program is equivalent to the output of ideology, and there will be a big contradiction between the two sides!" ”
Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said: "The role of a program can not only guide the members of the alliance, but also guide the people within us to determine its justice and legitimacy. If we talk about the so-called alliance, everyone's first impression is that various civilizations come together to survive, and this first impression is too low-end and narrow-minded! ”
"Survival is important, but survival is only the bare minimum, and the alliance that was born out of this is not a good first impression. If the question of survival is solved, will the alliance be dissolved immediately? ”
"If the people within our new human civilization feel this way, then how can the whole alliance last, so I think a program that can fully mobilize moral justice is indispensable."
Zhang Yuan's meaning is very simple, in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, and they had to hide the banner of "Da Chu Xing, Chen Sheng Wang" in the belly of the fish, and the people at that time already knew this, you can't say that you can't survive to rebel.
The slogan of the Xinhai Revolution was "Three People's Principles"; The slogan of the Autumn Harvest Uprising was "Down with the Great Powers, Down with the Warlords."
Every time a major event at the historical level occurs, there needs to be a slogan of justice, otherwise it will be untenable just for survival.
But in fact, aren't these uprisings and revolutions just to solve the problem of survival? Why are they shouting slogans, not just "we want to live"?
This slogan makes sense. Human beings are not animals, and it is not enough to simply live, and this kind of ideological program can bring strength to people.
It's the same in the interstellar era, how can an alliance make people feel justice, right? When talking about this alliance, it is better to have a better impression than "oh, we are all together to survive, to run away"!
This incident made it a bit difficult for the diplomat.
What humans think of as "justice" may not necessarily be the case for hemispheres, and the goals pursued by human beings may not be pursued by hemispheres.
"This is especially true of other civilizations, if a third party, a fourth party, is added to the alliance in the future, will they approve of this ideological program?"
After a long day of discussion, everyone unanimously agreed that all freedom and democracy are nonsense, and only "progress" can be regarded as a good program.
Just like the standard interstellar etiquette "May your civilization always progress", this is not a simple slogan, but the common pursuit of all aspiring civilizations, a struggle to get rid of the ultimate fate.
Then, there is no problem with using "progress" as the program of the alliance.
The two sides are united so that they can make progress together, which seems quite righteous.
Moreover, the banner of this program is large enough that as soon as the people hear this term, they can develop a certain sense of mission in their hearts, or at least it is impossible to feel disgusted.
"Galactic Progressivist Alliance!"
Zhang Yuan was also satisfied with this, "Very good, this name is very good." However, we need to refine it a little bit, not too general, and it is better to come up with a detailed charter that regulates the activities of the members of the alliance. ”
It includes the definition of the civilization of the sinkers, what is progress, why it should be progressed, etc., and answers to various basic questions. After all, when it comes to the next few hundred or thousands of years, if you think about it more carefully, you will be able to avoid a lot of troubles in the future......
By the time all these issues had been discussed, it was late at night.
The captain's lady came to the stage and said, "Then, the whole big frame is decided. ”
"Do you have any different opinions on the overall cooperation between the two sides? Now that all the pros and cons are clear, do we really want to form a semi-military alliance with hemispheric civilizations? ”
In this treaty, humanity has obviously taken a relatively large advantage, getting a lot of technology and a serious battle star. In this way, the human race has two battle stars, and the foundation is instantly doubled.
And the hemisphere people have suddenly obtained the military strength of the fourth-level civilization, and the range of activities is not limited to the vicinity of the cosmic strings, which can be regarded as a great gain. Moreover, in the future scientific and technological exchanges, they can more or less make a little cheaper, which can be regarded as a potential benefit.
So, it's a win-win situation.
But...... Do you really want to cooperate?
Zhang Yuan felt his heartbeat gradually accelerate, which was a strange feeling.
When the matter came, everyone hesitated, and even Comrade Li Zhendong, who had always been very supportive and used the phrase "they have the potential of a fifth-level civilization," was silent for a while and did not speak.
According to the calculation and deduction of various formulas, the benefits of this cooperation to the entire new human civilization also outweigh the disadvantages.
But even so, there is no way for humans to make up their minds right away......
An unknown path is laid out in front of you, and once you set foot on it, there is no turning back.
