Chapter 56: Negotiation, Blockade

This is the end of a conflict.

It ended with nearly 100 human casualties and zero casualties among the Protoss.

There is no doubt that the Protoss of the First Conflict took advantage of a lot.

But it was only a small advantage, and then a very fatal flaw was exposed.

Insufficient aura concentration.

Even though it has been nearly ten years since the divine energy was revived, the "aura concentration" on this side of the earth is still only a few hundredths or thousandths of that on the other side of the divine realm.

It is simply not possible to support the continuous consumption of monks above the Dan stage.

For monks above the Dan stage, as long as the output is large, the "reserve" of spiritual energy in the body decreases, and it is difficult to replenish it.

Even if it is a super strong cultivator in the Divine Light Period, it is also a "one-time" combat power, and it is impossible to continuously replenish a large amount of spiritual energy.

Unless you carry a "spirit stone" with you, even if you are a "saint", it is a one-time combat power.

It's just that spirit stones are scarce resources, not everyone can have hundreds or thousands of them, coupled with the overdevelopment of the god realm, in the chaos crisis, the ubiquitous "pollution" has caused the spirit stones to become fewer and fewer, and finally reached the point of being on the verge of exhaustion.

Therefore, the Protoss who came to the earth, no matter how high their cultivation was, was almost a "one-time" combat power.

And what about the human side?

Guns, cannons, airplanes, tanks, and mecha in the hands of human beings can be produced in large quantities as long as there are enough "factories" and enough "raw materials".

In addition, there are consumables such as "robots" that can replace human soldiers, if a large number of them are put into war, under the robot sea tactics, no matter how powerful the Protoss is, they will have to be "piled to death".

……

On the day of the outbreak of the "Protoss attack on the Federal Assembly", it quickly spread to the Internet, causing an uproar.

Human netizens are furious:

"Grace will take revenge! An immature white-eyed wolf. ”

"I shouldn't have taken them in if I knew I wouldn't have taken them in."

"The so-called Protoss, in the final analysis, are just terrorists who don't have any concept of civilization in their heads, and it is too naΓ―ve to think that they can conquer the whole world with their fists and violence! We, the Terrans, will not succumb to the slave society they conceived. ”

"War? Who's afraid of whom?! It's your first move, we can only fight back! ”

"Fight! War! Absolutely not a coward. ”

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if people offend me, cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"

"What about nuclear weapons, why haven't we taken out our nuclear weapons to suppress the arrogance of the Protoss?"

"Upstairs crazy, the destructive power of nuclear weapons is too great, it is not only the Protoss, but also our homeland, and it must not be used easily until the last moment!"

"Anyway, Liangzi is over, a terrible war, come on!"

Most of the netizens are very bloody, and they really can't bear this breath, so they shout and fight back.

There are also netizens who launched a war donation campaign, you donate half a month's salary, he donates a month's salary, and a lot of funds have been raised in a short time, which can be described as very enthusiastic.

But......

Even if public opinion is boiling, there is a shout of war.

But after all, war is a major event, and it cannot be easily launched unless it is forced to do so.

The top of the federal government moved to a mysterious underground command center, and many Terran leaders met again.

A meeting to decide whether war or peace.

In the conference room on the ground floor.

On a large oval table like a football field, the president and vice president of the Federation, and the heads of Z, M, and Mao Bear gathered together to discuss with serious expressions.

Speaker Fang Xiuping, with a white strap hanging on his left hand, he who was accidentally hit by a falling brick and injured his arm, said in a solemn tone: "The thinking and ideas of those Protoss have been on the wrong path with us all these years, and our thinking has always been difficult to influence them, and it is basically impossible for them to accept our set." ”

The idea of two races merging into one is unrealistic.

"Not only that, but they don't accept our set, but they are still doing everything possible to swallow us up and force us to submit, as soon as the information about the failure of nuclear weapons is leaked and the balance is broken, they will immediately take action, almost without hesitation, as if they have been suppressed for a long time."

Bang!

The head of the hairy bear slammed his fist on the table, and said viciously: "It seems that the previous overtures and help are basically useless, just as the Indians are as ridiculous as helping the European colonists, the wisest way is to wipe them out near the gate of that space from the beginning, instead of accepting waves of Protoss immigrants!" ”

"Hey~"

Deputy Speaker Lawrence Forde sighed and said: "We have done our best, for the sake of peace for more than ten years, we have done our best and shown the sincerity that we can, even if it is scolded by the citizens of the Federation, we still persist, as a result, can we only use war to maintain peace?" ”

"If there are only two paths ahead, war and slavery, then I choose war!"

"Not bad! Only one war can be fought! ”

"But ......"

One heavyweight parliamentarian hesitated: "Are we ready for war?" Are we certain of victory? Our opponents are a lot of transcendents. ”

"Congressman Walsh, I can answer my questions about preparations for war."

A burly, thick-eyed middle general, a three-star general of staff named Moredon Peters, stood up, and he turned on a projection screen and said in a loud voice: "In fact, we have been making military preparations for more than ten years. ”

"No matter how peaceful public opinion is, we have been seriously preparing for war."

"In the past ten years, the equipment developed by our military industrial units has all been developed for the extraordinary ability of the Protoss."

"Most of the military exercises conducted by our army in recent years have been conducted with the Protoss as an imaginary enemy, and the soldiers have been strictly trained."

"I can responsibly say that even in the face of very powerful Protoss, our warriors will not panic and lose morale, but fight bravely and fearlessly."

"In addition, with the use of highly realistic virtual game technology, the most elite legions we train can have a 30% chance of killing the monks of the Divine Light Age without using nuclear weapons."

"Of course, the biggest difficulty is that in recent years, the army's military spending has shrunk, more than 30 percent of the military personnel have been reduced, and the training funds and equipment purchase expenses are insufficient, resulting in only 11 of the most elite troops, and the number is seriously insufficient."

Speaking of this, the councillors and leaders present clearly heard the resentment in Morregardan's words.

However, complaining to complaining, Moraidon still adjusted himself very well, and continued: "It takes at least a hundred elite troops to basically resist the powerful Protoss monks, so from now on, the military budget must be increased to ten times as much as before!" In order to complete the training task in a short period of time. ”

"In addition, according to the analysis of our military experts: those Protoss, in fact, have a certain weakness, that day they attacked the first headquarters of the Federation, they originally had the ability to form a formation to eliminate the AST Mecha Regiment, and then severely damage the Third Mecha Division of Country M that came to support behind, and even split a few more Protoss to hunt down those fleeing Federation Councilors to kill or control a part."

"But they didn't, they just hit the AST mech regiment hard, and then left in a hurry, unwilling to dwell too much."

"After the analysis of our elite military experts, the reason why those Protoss stopped their follow-up operations was not because of soft-heartedness or special warnings, but because the simple spiritual energy consumption was too large, and it was difficult to continue fighting."

"The 'aura' on this side of the earth is too thin, and the consumption rate is far greater than the replenishment, even if it is the top combat power, the god who can destroy hundreds of mecha with one blow, in the combat state, the consumption is far greater than the recovery."

"That day may have been the first time that those gods had made a move on this side of the earth, forgetting that this side was not the god realm, and getting carried away exposed a fatal flaw."

"It is this fatal flaw that allows us to see the possibility of defeating the Protoss!"

"As long as we launch a 'war of attrition', no matter how high our cultivation is, we will be consumed to death one day."

"Moreover, taking advantage of the fact that the aura is thin now, the sooner the war is launched, the greater our advantage, if we continue to delay, when the concentration of the so-called 'divine energy particles' reaches a fairly high level, the balance of victory, I am afraid that it will return to the side of the Protoss."

"So, let's do it early! Fight early or late! The longer it takes, the worse it is for us! ”

Moredon issued an offer for war.

The deputies and the heads of state nodded their heads.

The individual strength of those Protoss, after so many years of understanding, most of them know in their hearts that they are definitely comparable to the existence of humanoid bombs, humanoid tanks, and humanoid nuclear bombs, coupled with high mobility, flexibility, and very intelligent intelligence, each of which is difficult to deal with, and is not an existence that can be easily killed.

If we add the characteristics of 'fast recovery' and long continuous combat time, it is estimated that the fate of human beings becoming slaves of the Protoss will not be changed under the premise that high-power nuclear weapons fail.

Fortunately, the current Protoss still has a more fatal weakness.

If you don't seize this opportunity......

"Then let's go to war! There's still a big chance of winning! A lawmaker said.

"Peace has been going on for almost 200 years, and blood and fire cannot be avoided after all!"

"Hit! It can only be war! ”

In the conference room, except for a few silent people, the opinions were basically unanimous.

It was only necessary to officially declare the war and discuss all aspects of the war's planning and deployment.

For example, public opinion control, entering a state of combat readiness, activating all kinds of war machines, carrying out comprehensive mobilization, and so on.

However, only two days have passed.

Just when people's hearts are in a panic.

On the side of the Protoss, there was suddenly news that they wanted to negotiate.

The leader of the Protoss, Ba Qidu, personally made a video call and contacted Fang Xiuping, the speaker of the Federal Assembly, and the two chatted over the air.

"Speaker Fang, stop making unnecessary preparations and sacrifices, be aware of the times, and obediently take the human race behind you to surrender to our Protoss."

Baqi said earnestly: "This time, I will show a little extra kindness, not to treat you humans as slaves, but to give you humans a little status, how about becoming a subject of the Protoss?" ”

"We won't enslave you, we won't kill you at will, as long as you abide by the rules set by the Protoss and serve us sincerely?"

"As long as you perform well, inexhaustible wealth, abundant land, great power, or even becoming a member of the Protoss to obtain the status of the Protoss, it is possible, just bend down slightly and respectfully call 'Lord'."

"How? Tempted? If you can take the lead in setting an example, you will get a lot of reuse in the future, and the future is limitless. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Baqidu's mouth hooked up a range, and his expression was quite proud.

didn't notice that Fang Xiuping looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

And saw through the purpose of his initiative to contact at a glance: "It seems that your Protoss has also discovered that now is not the best time to start a war, right?" ”

"So you softened your attitude and made slightly better demands?"

Fang Xiuping looked disdainful: "But I'm sorry, I'm not interested in the benefits you said at all, and we human beings are ready for war and enter a state of all-out war at any time." ”

"We have simulated with a supercomputer, as long as we are willing to pay about 200 million casualties, we can wipe out all the gods on the earth in about three years and achieve the final victory."

"But we still want to give peace a chance, and we don't want the city to be in ruins, where hatred spreads and lives are lost."

"Therefore, for the attack on the first headquarters of the Federation some time ago, make a solemn apology, and then give a generous compensation to the families of the dead and wounded soldiers, even if the sincerity is not very good, 'we are sorry', you can save peace, stop the next cruel war, and then everything will return to the previous peace."

"How about saying the word 'sorry'?"

"What are you kidding?"

Eight Moments' face became ugly: "Dignified Divine Clan, how can you apologize to the ants?" What are you dreaming about? ”

"Arrogance?"

Fang Xiuping muttered, "Then be prepared to pay the price for your arrogance." ”

With that, he hung up the video call.

Negotiations broke down.

However, two days later, it was noticed that the human side had entered a state of full mobilization and combat readiness, and cut off the water and electricity supply in the Protoss settlement, no longer provide all kinds of material supplies, trade was interrupted, the route connecting the gate to Jupiter's space was interrupted, and a total blockade was implemented.

Just for a day or two.

Many of the Protoss settlements have regressed for thousands of years and have fallen into a state of semi-collapse.

Before the war was fought, the first sanctions war made more than a billion Protoss immigrants unbearable, and there were complaints everywhere.

As for the reason why it was blocked, through TV media and radio broadcasting, most of the Protoss knew that they could only blame the high-level of the Protoss, provoked incidents for no reason, attacked federal parliamentarians for no reason, killed and injured hundreds of Terran soldiers, and committed major bloody crimes.

"We have no intention of embarrassing, and the lifting of the sanctions is very simple: apologize, apologize publicly, and give compensation!"

"As long as you apologize, the blockade will be lifted immediately, and the old suspicions will be released from now on."

Looking at Fang Xiu's righteous words on TV or radio, and looking at the conclusive attack picture, most of the Protoss immigrants fell into silence.

Only a small number of Protoss shouted: "Apologize? Who do you think you are? ”

And in the face of such sanctions, whether it is the god race or any race, it can generally only hold out for three days.

Once the limit of patience of the three days is over, there is no other choice between making a compromise or losing both.

So the "ball" was kicked to the side of the high-level of the Protoss again.
