072 Joint communiqué
At the same time, the eyes of the whole world are on another place in the imperial capital, the Great Hall where Iridium Führer Bai Zhongqi held talks with the side of country C. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
For Bai Zhongqi, the ritual significance of such a meeting is greater than the substantive significance. Neither side will discuss any specific issues in depth, but it is similar to the previous 30-member delegation, which is a display of friendly gestures. Including Bai Zhongqi and the other party, they were a little restrained, and the conversation was more diplomatic rhetoric.
After the closed-door talks, there was a joint press conference between the two sides, which was also a real blockbuster message released to the outside world.
“…… I am very pleased to be able to start this meeting with His Majesty Bai Zhongqi, the head of the Iridium United Empire, who has deep roots in country C. The results of this meeting are rich and the impact will be far-reaching, and it will be of great significance for establishing and deepening the bilateral relationship between country C and the United Empire of Iridium. His Majesty Bai Zhongqi and I have officially decided that Country C and the Iridium United Empire will jointly issue a joint communiqué today to formally establish diplomatic relations! ”
This did not surprise the reporters and observers present, and Iridium itself has already expressed a lot of content in choosing country C as the first earth country to officially visit abroad.
Next is Bai Zhongqi's speech, which is the top priority of all journalists, and it is also the attention of people all over the world.
Bai Zhongqi stood on the podium, wearing a white head of state uniform and looking heroic. He adjusted the microphone slightly, his expression was plain and solemn, and with his delicate facial features, it made people feel a special charm. Many reporters were even more at him, frantically taking pictures. Perhaps because of the liberation of genetic advantages, Bai Zhongqi felt that he seemed to have begun to change his body again in the past few days, not only growing taller, but also becoming more handsome.
He also opened with some kind words about undernutrition, such as how happy to be here and thank you for coming. But no one dared to relax their attention to his speech, because a single paragraph, or even a single word, could determine the entire future of the planet.
“…… The cordial conversation made me feel more confident in the cooperation between Iridium and the Earth. I was born and raised on this planet, and Earth is my second home. I also deeply understand how great the creativity of the people on this planet is, and it can be said that in the entire universe, human beings are also no less than other advanced civilizations.
As the head of the United Iridium Empire, and as a half-C-country earthling, I am happy to see the harmonious development of bilateral relations. Earthlings are slowly entering the universe, and the charm and opportunities of the universe attract every civilization to explore unremittingly. Here, on behalf of the United Empire of Iridium, I invite sincere and friendly friends who share similar values to us, can seek common ground while reserving differences, to join the Iridium-Earth Interstellar Alliance, a supranational sovereign political entity I initiated, to go to deep space and to the universe, and the United Star Alliance will not only be committed to uniting the forces of Iridium and the Earth and moving towards other star systems, but also will focus on solving the problems of the Earth, such as climate change, ecological pollution, war, poverty and hunger, and strive to create a more splendid common civilization.
The United Empire of Iridium will open an embassy in the imperial capital of country C, which will not only be responsible for exchanges with country C, but also take into account the development of relations with other countries on Earth. We welcome, willing, and compliant Earth nations to enter into negotiations with the United Empire to join the United Empire. At present, China is negotiating with country C to join the United Nations, and I sincerely hope that country C will finally choose to join the United Star Alliance and work with Iridium to promote and develop civilization. ”
Bai Zhongqi's speech was relatively short, but the amount of information was still quite huge, basically the person just now didn't say any useful information, and now it was all said by Bai Zhongqi. The information he gave is not an exaggeration to call it an apocalypse.
Iridium actually wants to cooperate with the countries of Earth? And the purpose is actually to go to the universe and carry out interstellar development. Almost anyone with a little brain knows how great a benefit this is. The technology in Iridium's hands, brought out from between their fingers, something they can't even look at, is enough for the earth to eat for hundreds of years or thousands of years. After entering the universe, the acquisition of resources with planets as development units, and even the opening up of new territories and new markets, will bring huge profits. Not to mention, the Star Alliance will also help solve some internal problems of the earth countries, if it is a poor country and hugs this golden thigh, then the poor people in the country who could not eat may be able to live a good life in the future. Naturally, this consideration is outside the scope of many developed countries. The people of developing countries are not interested in living or dying or living well.
Thinking on your heels, none of this so-called cooperation can be equal. It may even be a different name, which is actually a way for Iridium to rule the Earth. But this mode of domination is absolutely universally acceptable. Whether it is the group that holds the power of the state on the earth or the middle and lower classes in general, everyone can benefit from this system.
For a long time, many people in the West, especially in the West, have been very incomprehensible about the movement of Iridium. In their opinion, although the Iridium fleet is a little smaller, its scientific and technological strength and force are extremely powerful, and it is not a problem to look at their previous performance in teasing the US military and conquering the earth. Just as centuries ago, when Europeans discovered the New World, they grabbed the lands of the indigenous peoples, plundered all kinds of precious metals and all resources of commercial value. Some people feel that Iridium should have done the same thing as they did centuries ago when it discovered Earth.
But what the Iridium people are doing now is like a group of Europeans who came to America in the 16th century, saw a group of ragged Indians, gave them food, muskets, clothes, and all sorts of things, built them warm houses, taught them the skills of farming, and even gave them sailboats to explore the seas.
Isn't this brain-dead?
But actually, this analogy is very stupid. Because Bai Zhongqi himself is an earthling, the people living in country C are originally his compatriots and even his family. It is the spirit and values of this country and nation that have been inherited for a long time, and it is somewhat similar to the "greater ability, greater responsibility" that has only been passed down in the West in modern times, but it is more subjective.
In essence, the emergence of Starlink exceeded many people's expectations, or because of differences in values and motivations.
Bai Zhongqi holds the supreme command and enjoys the most powerful power and combat power possible on the planet, but this does not distort his personality. After an adult's values are formed, they will be relatively stable. If you get the extraordinary ability and suddenly realize that you are good every day, it is mostly a secondary disease. Before and after receiving the supreme order, Bai Zhongqi may have done things very differently, but he is still the kind senior who will take time out to guide his younger brothers and sisters in their homework before; is still a young man with a normal outlook who is willing to help someone in need. The difference is that he may only be able to open the door of a shopping mall for a disabled person with limited mobility, and may only be able to teach a simple trivia to a motivated child - now, he can lead the civilization of the entire planet, to bring richer material life to more people, and to continue to grow and develop the already colorful civilization.
People who grew up in the civilized environment of the West look civilized on the surface, but in fact they are even more robbers. Force and the rule of law are two of the strongest elements that sustain Western civilization. The strong demand everything seems to be an unbreakable truth. But this is only a time fragment to look at the problem, almost all Western civilizations, when they are brutal and tyrannical, have already buried the root of defeat.
In Bai Zhongqi's view, what is truly powerful is the ability to smash everything, and at the same time the tolerance to assimilate and absorb everything.
For Bai Zhongqi and even Iridium, the benefits that can be brought to the United Empire by brutal means of conquering the Earth, not to mention the trauma and carnage caused, are also limited. Some people who have been psychologically rebelling against the Empire, even if they are intimidated by coercion, assimilation and absorption may take hundreds or even hundreds of years. Bai Zhongqi didn't know if he could live that long. At the very least, the United Empire of Iridium, which has only a few thousand people and technology, may not be able to truly explore the galaxy in this universe for half a century, and its energy will be wasted on constantly suppressing and slaughtering earthlings. It is not impossible to destroy the political superstructure of the earth and reunite the forces of the earth, but the time and energy spent will increase greatly. To re-establish civilization so that earthlings can be used by Iridium, I don't know how long it will take.
The most serious thing is that as a monoracial and multicultural planet, perhaps the greatest value of the Earth to many advanced interstellar civilizations is the rich civilization created by the earthlings over thousands of years, as well as the extraordinary imagination of the earthlings. Iridium destroys this planet, which is equivalent to destroying the most valuable thing. And billions of imaginative people, after being conquered and struck, will also fall in value by orders of magnitude.
Many civilizations in the universe that excel at spiritual and psychic powers have attempted acts such as racial brainwashing and enslavement. But most of these civilizations eventually perished in the long course of history, and most of them fell to an enterprising and progressive civilization like Iridium. Even though the mystery of the consciousness body has been analyzed by many civilizations, there is still no civilization that can decipher why the consciousness body (racial individual) that is forcibly interfered with will lose its most important development potential, and eventually make the entire civilization lose the opportunity to continue to move forward.
People on Earth don't understand why an all-knowing and all-powerful Iridium like God chooses to help and treat an ant well. In fact, they exist not only because of the weakness of ants, but also because of their narrow vision.
At least in Iridium, even excluding the fact that Iridians blindly trust the head of state who has ruled them for 5,000 years, the vast majority of Iridians are broad enough to understand the significance of the Star Alliance to the United Iridium Empire, and they also admire the head of the empire who has put forward such a seemingly grand and tolerant idea.
As long as the Star Federation can officially enter orbit and start operation, Iridium can launch exploration and colonization activities in other galaxies within a year, and even within ten years, it will once again become a great civilization with a powerful fleet and continuous progress in this new universe across several star systems.
