Walking into the residence arranged by Phinea and Faltins, Feng Chen began to criticize Ptolemy, criticizing him for disobeying orders, making assertions, being unorganized and undisciplined, etc., etc., all of which were borrowed by Feng Chen from the previous junior high school teacher's criticism of Feng Chen.

However, Ptolemy was just like Feng Chen back then, he just didn't admit his mistake by holding his neck, and in the end Feng Chen had no choice but to use his trump card, sneered, and announced the cancellation of the planned reward for Ptolemy.

Ptolemy was hit the nail on the head, and immediately patted his chest to show that he was deeply aware of his mistake and would never make a mistake next time, which made Feng Chen's face turn from gloomy to clear.

"What do we do next?" Bachar asked.

After coming to Kiel City, although Ptolemy made a fool of himself despite Feng Chen's orders, the overall progress was quite smooth. Without any waves, Feng Chen and his party met Phinea and Faltins, these two people seemed to be important people in Kiel City and even the entire kingdom, so it would be convenient to negotiate in the future. And thanks to Ptolemy's nonsense, the strength of Feng Chen and his party was also fully displayed in front of Phinea and Faltins, which attracted their full attention, and with this foreshadowing, Feng Chen believed that the future negotiations between the two sides would be much smoother.

"Ask them how to manipulate unknown energies, and in exchange, we can help them destroy the monsters out there." Feng Chen touched his chin and said.

"Don't you swallow them up?" Liu Jing said suddenly.

"Annexation?" Feng Chen groaned. In his concept, it is extremely wrong to annex other countries or civilizations, but Feng Chen also knows that morality, including this kind of national morality, will change with the change of the environment, and there is no reason that international law in the 21st century can still bind the New Earth Federation more than 200,000 years later. Therefore, Feng Chen also has an open attitude towards annexation.

After thinking about it for a long time, Feng Chen couldn't figure out whether to annex the Turin Kingdom, so he asked Wang Nan: "How did the Earth Federation deal with this situation back then?" ”

"There are different ways to deal with it at different stages." Wang Nandao: "When the Earth Federation just entered the era of chaos, there was a very serious existential trend of thought in the Federation at that time, and all people of insight were worried that the Earth Federation would be defeated in front of the alien civilization and completely disappear, so the attitude of the Earth Federation at that time towards the alien civilization was endless, not only to wipe out the aliens as a whole, but also to completely destroy the planet they lived on. ”

Later, this radical behavior was gradually curbed, because even in war, the communication between earthlings and aliens was inevitably carried out, and earthlings gradually realized that aliens were also contactable, even assimilated, and due to the different physiological structures, some aliens could even form a complementary relationship with earthlings, and their unique thinking also promoted the development of earth's science and technology to a large extent. At this stage, although the Earth Federation still inevitably starts a war with extraterrestrial civilizations, it is more methodical and patient, and strives to integrate hostile civilizations into the Earth civilization system. Although there were some messes in this method, it was generally smooth and greatly promoted the development of the Earth Federation. ”

"In the late Age of Chaos, the Federation had a well-established system for contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. The first is a first-level civilization that has not yet stepped out of the star system, for this kind of civilization, unless it is particularly potential or evil, the Federation will intervene, otherwise it is generally based on observation. When the first-level civilization develops to the second-level civilization, that is, when it can travel between stars, the Federation will send a mission to contact them and let them join the big family of the Earth Federation. ”

"And what if they don't want to?" Liu Jing asked.

"In the face of absolute superiority in force, no one will be unhappy, not to mention that we are still holding candy in our other hand."

Liu Jing nodded.

Wang Nan continued: "If it is a newly discovered second-level civilization, this civilization has already stepped into the threshold of cosmic civilization, and the main way for the Federation to treat them is to vassalize them, and determine their treatment according to their loyalty to the Federation, uniqueness, assimilation possibility, development potential and other manifestations, and divide the corresponding territories. The symbols of the third-level civilization are light-speed spaceships and antimatter energy, and this level of civilization can already pose a certain threat to the Federation - the Federation was a fourth-level civilization at the time, so the Federation's attitude towards them is mainly to attack until it is completely digested. Later, after the Earth Federation developed to a fifth-level civilization, the main way to deal with the third-level civilization was also changed to vassalization, and the object of the Federation's attack and digestion became a fourth-level civilization. ”

"Although the Kingdom of Turin is only a first-class civilization, it holds the secret of manipulating unknown energy, so I suggest that they be swallowed up. In fact, I've been wanting to make this suggestion since I confirmed that they would manipulate unknown energies. Wang Nan finally said.

The conclusion turned out to be annexation! And listening to Wang Nan's tone, she made this suggestion very seriously.

Mom, didn't you criticize Ptolemy for being good at advocating and firing guns, why did you suddenly decide to annex this country?! Is it so casual?

Finally, Feng Chen had some intuitive understanding of the daily life of the position of the supreme consul of the Federation.

"Archon, what is your opinion?" Wang Nan asked.

Feng Chen's face showed obvious hesitation, in his education, annexation was always associated with the separation of his wife, the destruction of his family, and the heavy casualties, and he had no ambition to unify the universe, so he was naturally not enthusiastic about annexing a country, but from another point of view, the annexation of the Kingdom of Turin did seem to be more in line with the interests of the Federation.

"Can't you communicate peacefully?" He then asked.

"Efficiency! Archon! Wang Nan seemed to really want Feng Chen to decide to annex the Turin Kingdom, and she said seriously: "Now is the weakest moment in the Federation for more than 200,000 years, what if there is another outbreak of unknown energy?" What if this unknown energy destroys even an AI like me? Then the Federation is completely gone. No one knows if the unknown energy will erupt, when it will erupt, and what the intensity of the outbreak will be, it can be said that the Federation is now walking blindfolded on the ridge, and will fall down at any time. ”

"If we communicate peacefully with them, we don't know if they have shared all their knowledge with us, and we won't even know if that knowledge has been tampered with. This will greatly delay the process of our understanding of unknown energies! So, I strongly recommend that you order the annexation of the Kingdom of Turin! Wang Nandao.

Having said that, Feng Chen also realized his innocence. Now that the Earth Federation itself is still mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, who knows when it will be gone, at this time to sympathize with others and not prioritize their own interests, it is simply stupid, outright stupid.

So Feng Chen said, "Okay, I agree with your suggestion. However, I hope to minimize casualties in the process. We are not beasts. ”

"It's nature, Archon! In fact, if done right, the Kingdom of Turin would even be grateful to us for annexing them! Wang Nan said.

"Gratitude?"

"For example, take advantage of those monsters out there." Wang Nan said slowly.
