Chapter 14: The Messenger of the Seamen (Part II)
Kabayashi took the letter from his uncle and opened it, the letter was a white plastic film, and the text was printed by machine.
Kapok glanced at the letter in Shanglin's hand and said, "Hey, Shanglin, read it to us, I'm curious about what the people of the sea wrote to make King Gran pay so much attention, they may want us to give up a piece of territory to the people of the sea and land in the prairie." ”
Agu immediately chimed in: "Yes, Shanglin, listen to my father's wishes, and the people of the sea will make peace with us." ”
Kabayashi unfolded the letter and read it aloud: "Your Excellency the Five Kings of the Prairie, Honorable Prince Kabayashi, Prince Kapok, Princess Yama, when you receive this letter from Your Excellency the Venerable King Gran, our dream of building a peaceful coexistence on this purple planet has shown the light of hope for success.
I am the Governor of the Eastern Alliance of the Underwater World, and first of all, on behalf of the people of our Alliance, I would like to express my deep apologies for the harm caused to you steppe people over the past forty years. However, when you read this letter, you will find that our actions were forced to do so, and that the history of the development of this planet will prove that our actions have saved all planetary people, including your savannah.
The archaeological discoveries of our undersea people in the history show that you landers and our seabed people have the same ancient ancestors, and our common ancient ancestors originally lived in the underwater world, and later your ancestors entered the land life and became land people.
Although it has evolved over a slow period of time, our scientific tests have shown that the genetic mix of our modern undersea and your terrestrial people is less than 2 thousandths.
Because our underwater world has developed faster in science and technology than you landers in the past 100 years, we seafarers began to surface in the sea to reconnoiter the land world more than 40 years ago, and you landers still have no technical means to enter the seabed to explore.
So allow me to give you a brief overview of the state of our underwater world.
Although the surface of the planet is four times the size of the land, the area that can be inhabited by humans is actually smaller than your land area due to the complex topography of the seabed.
According to the information we have, the total population of your prairie is nearly four million, the population of the Qizhou Continent is one million, the total population of the Xizhou Continent is close to 10 million, and the total number of people in our underwater world is now more than 20 million.
Different from your terrestrial social form, although we undersea people also have more than a dozen kingdoms, these kingdoms have joined the East and West alliances respectively. Due to various reasons, the two major alliances of the East and West of our underwater world have been in a state of mutual confrontation and mutual checks and balances for nearly 100 years.
Although this state of our Underwater East-West Alliance has caused constant wars in the underwater world, the pressure of competition has caused our undersea people to rapidly improve their scientific and technological level in the past hundred years, and your prairie and the Xizhou Qizhou continent are separated by the ocean and are far away, and there is neither competition nor trade between them, so you landers have developed slowly because there is no survival pressure.
Just as you landers yearn for the starry sky, we undersea people yearn for land. Moreover, for us undersea people, the dream of landing on land is not only out of the instinct of intelligent human beings, but also the need for future survival and development.
Because with the growth of population and the continuous depletion of seabed resources, we seabed people have to seek resources from the land to maintain survival and development, and the continuous development and improvement of science and technology have made our seabed people's yearning for land can become a reality.
As early as fifty years ago, we, the underseamen, had already drawn up a clear strategic plan for landing on land, but we, the Eastern Alliance and the Western Alliance, each chose two completely different landing paths.
Because our Eastern Alliance occupies the undersea area between your steppe and the Qizhou continent, we have been keeping an eye on the development of your steppe people.
Fifty years ago, when we learned about the Heavenly King and his descendants who lived in Princess City, our Eastern Alliance leaders at the time believed that if the descendants of the Heavenly King made contact with the starry world in the future and received the support of their families in the outer world, then the technological and military strength of the steppe people would be abruptly improved. If we rely on force to conquer the land in the future, the outcome of the war will be that both our Eastern Alliance Seamen and the Prairie People will be defeated, and the Western Alliance Seamen will take the opportunity to destroy both of us, and then the Western Alliance Seamen will be able to dominate the planet.
Sure enough, just as we expected, your two princes, Kabayashi and Kapokko, as well as Princess Yama, have been studying and living in the Star World for more than 20 years, and now, you have enough strength to pass our test to obtain this letter from the King of Gran, which shows that you have received strong support from the Star World, and proves the foresight of our former leader of the Eastern Alliance.
Therefore, we are very glad that we chose the strategy of cultivating sea and land people to land on land, as you can understand now, sea and land people are the common descendants of our sea people and you land people, and we have a common obligation and responsibility to give them the opportunity and space to survive and develop.
The Western Alliance undersea people have chosen to mass-produce genetic humans who can live on land through genetic engineering, and they will arm these genetic people to use force to conquer the continent.
The different consequences of the two different choices for you landers should be self-evident.
On the surface of this planet, in addition to your steppe, the three continents of Qizhou and Xizhou, there are thousands of large and small islands, most of which are uninhabited. The total number of second-generation Hailu people we have cultivated is only more than 5,000 so far, and it takes more than ten years for each generation of Hailu people to reach adulthood from birth to adulthood.
So in the next 100 years, we, the common descendants, will be able to survive and develop as long as we occupy these islands.
According to the information we have obtained, the total number of genetic humans has exceeded 50,000, and they are still stepping up to create more genetic people, and design and manufacture gunpowder guns and armored combat vehicles with great lethality for these genetic people in land warfare.
According to the information we have obtained, although the Xizhou continent is vast and has a large population, the existing six countries of their existence are constantly strife, and their military strength is limited, and the gunpowder guns they make are still very low-level. What's even more serious is that the people of Xizhou are too busy fighting each other to realize that the genetic people will bring disaster to the Xizhou continent.
Based on the above information, we can be completely sure that if there is no strong external military force to suppress it, the gene people will soon occupy the Xizhou Continent with more advanced weapons and combat effectiveness, and then they will occupy Qizhou, and finally, they will use the resources of Xizhou and the Qizhou Continent to quickly become stronger, and will also use force to occupy your prairie.
Therefore, all of your landers, as well as our land-and-sea people, will lose their space on land for the foreseeable future.
Not only that, the undersea people of the Western Alliance will use the land resources obtained by the genetic people to quickly become stronger, and then they will not hesitate to launch a war of aggression against our Eastern Alliance, and then our Eastern Alliance undersea people will also lose their living space, and this planet will become a world dominated by the Western Submarine Alliance and their genetic people.
By now you should understand the significance of this Governor's request to King Gran to convey this letter.
The Governor hereby solemnly puts forward our propositions and proposals for living in peace and jointly preserving the human world on this planet:
1. We will immediately establish a communication channel for the exchange of information, with King Gran as the messenger between us.
2. We promise each other to live in peace and not to launch any form of attack on each other.
3. You have pledged to give our common descendants the right to live on all uninhabited islands on the surface of the sea and to protect their interests, while our Eastern Alliance has opened all the seas to you landers for free navigation and fishing.
4. Together, we develop a strategic plan to deal with the impending conquest of the land by the genetic people.
I look forward to hearing from you soon, and on behalf of the Kings of the Seven Kingdoms, the Governor pays you the most sincere tribute. ”
After reading the letter, there was a brief silence in the car, and everyone was carefully reviewing the information revealed by the undersea man.
Kapok Zi spoke first, he looked at King Gran and asked, "Uncle King Gran, do you think what this Governor of the Sea Man said is true?" ”
King Gran said with a serious look on his chin, "I think it's true, because the things he mentions in this letter about the underwater world are exactly the same as those in my little sister's letter." Once you reach a peace agreement with the governor, they will withdraw from the island of Gran and go to the Kuril Sea to establish a military training base. ”
Kapok said to Kabayashi: "It seems that our real opponents are those genetic people!"
Shanglin nodded in agreement, "Our original plan has to be revised, and the strategic focus is not on the prairie but on Xizhou!" ”
"Shanglin, are you saying that we are going to Xizhou to help the people of Xizhou fight? However, the iron ship of the steam turbine built by your father has not yet been completed, and there are some key technologies that you and Kapok have to come back to solve. "Agu Road.
Kabayashi said, "Yes, if the information provided by this undersea governor is true and reliable, the genetic people will attack Xizhou at any time. We must help the people of Xizhou to defeat the genetic people, or we will face even more powerful attacks in the future. In addition to stepping up the construction of warships, we also need to build a batch of tanks as soon as possible.
Shanglin paused here when he said this, and then said in a decisive tone: "We are going to send an expeditionary force to Xizhou to prepare for war before the genetic people launch a full-scale war against Xizhou!"
