Chapter 43, Quadripartite Treaty

In the virtual conference hall, when the main terms were agreed, Bray and Maji breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the treaty was agreed, then it meant that the Han Science and Technology Empire would no longer bombard its own territory indiscriminately, the feeling of watching one river system disappear from the universe, and watching the perfect home they had built was rudely broken by a hooligan but helpless, it was really uncomfortable!

But soon, as soon as the two thought of the content of the agreement, they quickly sighed helplessly, the greed at the beginning was exchanged for the sorrow of the future and I don't know how long, not to mention anything else, the huge war reparations alone are enough for the two civilized people to tighten their belts and live on food and clothing I don't know how many generations can pay off this huge war reparations.

The leader of the abyss civilization also sighed softly, the abyss civilization, which was originally watching the excitement, was also involved, and was forced to sign a treaty on the border line where no troops could be stationed and free trade, but it was still much better in comparison, at least there was no need to pay war reparations, nor did it have to cede land, let alone be garrisoned.

There was a hint of sly eyes looking at Bray, the leader of the Kalsi civilization, and the emperor of the Olisa Empire, Maji, the leader of the Abyss Civilization, and Beda was a little gloating, and Beda knew very well that once this treaty was signed, it meant that in a very long time, these two civilizations would be clamped down by the side of the Han Science and Technology Empire, and they would not have the ability to find trouble on the side of the Abyss Civilization.

However, at the thought of the Han Science and Technology Empire, the smile that Beda had just shown disappeared in an instant, the Kalsi civilization and the Olisa Empire were subdued by the empire, and the abyss civilization was no better, and they also had to live in the shadow of the Han science and technology empire.

With such a powerful civilization around him as a neighbor, he even had to be terrified when he slept, for fear that the neighbor would take himself to the end when he saw that he was unhappy, and under the shadow of a strong shadow, for a long time in the future, all ambitions, all hegemony, and all hatred must be buried deep in the deepest part of the heart.

Liu Yongyuan always had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of forcing the other three civilizations to sign a treaty, but in the eyes of Bray and Maji, Liu Yongyuan's smile was like a smile from the abyss demon, where he wantonly mocked and despised it, as if he was saying to the Kalsi civilization and the Orissa Empire, look, this is the consequence of being inconsiderate.

Having reached an agreement on the main terms, Liu Yongyuan's heart was also lightly relieved, the empire is not the time to bully the weak everywhere, what the empire needs now is to end this war, return everything to normal, and continue to build its own Great Kyushu galaxy cluster.

Although the empire has a strong force, it is still shallow, and the defense of the Kyushu galaxy cluster has never come up with a good plan, let alone the construction of the defense system of the Kyushu galaxy cluster.

Being able to force the Calsi civilization and the Orissa Empire to sign a treaty means that the empire can suck a large amount of blood from the two civilizations for a long time, as much as 1.3 billion standard units of void ore indemnity, plus if the installment payment is calculated with interest in it, the Calsi civilization and the Orissa Empire will have to work for the empire for a long time, and a steady stream of new blood will flow into the empire.

In the virtual conference hall, the leaders of the four civilizations sat side by side and began to sign agreements with each other, this kind of virtual agreement seems to have no meaning, but in fact, it is not, because of the inconvenient transportation in the cosmic era, so the agreement is usually signed in the virtual network.

Of course, as an agreement between the four major civilizations, a real physical agreement is also indispensable, but instead of the leaders of the four civilizations to sign it, they will send a delegation to an agreed place to sign the agreement.

And now the agreement signed by the leaders of the four civilizations is just a general direction agreement, that is, a ceasefire agreement has been reached, as for many small details in the agreement, taking the war reparations as an example, the indemnity period, the annual payment amount, the value of the Void Ore equivalent, etc., these very small things are naturally negotiated by the professional negotiation team to negotiate with each other, and the territory can grasp the general direction.

The vigorous war of the three civilizations came to an end with the signing of the agreement, and the Jizhou army under the command of Marshal Zhang Feiai of the empire began to stop moving, and slowly concentrated into more than a dozen key river systems.

Naturally, the empire will not be stupid enough to withdraw all its troops at once, and the cessation of military operations is just a superficial attitude on the part of the empire, and the same Zhang Feiai's army sitting in the territory of the Orissa Empire is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Olisa Empire, so that they dare not violate every clause in the agreement, and implement it honestly.

The same thing happened on the side of the Kalsi civilization, and the Jingzhou army under the command of Marshal Zhong Nanji also stopped military operations in the territory of the Kalsi civilization and initially ceased fire.

When the ceasefire agreement was transmitted back to the Kalsi civilization, the entire Kalsi civilization was silent from top to bottom, and everyone knew that although peace had come, it was the beginning of the long years ahead of the Kalsi civilization, and the huge war reparations were enough to crush the entire Kalsi civilization.

But at this time, no one dared to come out to oppose this agreement, because once the Kalsi civilization did not fulfill this agreement, the imperial army that remained in the territory of the Kalsi civilization would once again unceremoniously bombard, and peace was more precious in comparison.

…….

The Madazin and Galbera clusters at the junction of the Calsi civilization and the Orissa Empire, two prosperous galaxy clusters that originally belonged to these two civilizations, were ceded to the empire this time, so now it has become the border between the empire and the Orissa empire and the Calsi civilization.

A prosperous river system here, this river system that has just been incorporated into the empire's territory not long ago, it has a poetic name, the Qionglou River system, the empire has specially built 4 advanced 8-level time and space gates here, because the empire, the Kalsi civilization, the Orissa Empire, the abyss civilization, the peace agreement between the four civilizations will be shrouded here for the signing ceremony.

After nearly 10 years of detailed negotiations, the Empire, the Kalsi Civilization, and the Orissa Empire finally reached an agreement on all the terms, large and small, and the Empire and the Abyss Civilization also completed the detailed discussions on the border withdrawal and trade, which means that all the contents of the agreement have been negotiated.

Now it only takes 4 civilizations to sign an agreement here in the Qionglou River system, then it means that a ceasefire has really been reached, and the content of the treaty can be implemented and normal exchanges can start with each other, without saber-rattling.

In order to sign the agreement as soon as possible and let the Olisa Empire and the Kalsi civilization begin to fulfill the agreement as soon as possible, the Empire personally took action and built 4 huge space-time gates, all of which were level 8 space-time gates.

One of them is installed in the nest of the Kalsi civilization, one is installed in the nest of the Orissa Empire, one is installed on the border between Qingzhou and the abyss civilization, and one is installed in the base camp of the Kyushu galaxy cluster of the empire.

With the empire's advanced level 8 space-time teleportation technology, across the distant galaxy cluster, the two-way level 8 space-time gate that has been installed will only take more than 10 years to arrive, if these three civilizations rely on their own space-time teleportation technology, especially the Kalsi civilization and the abyss civilization, the space teleportation technology of these two civilizations is only level 3, and they want to rush to the distant Madajin galaxy cluster Qionglouhe system, I don't know when it happened.

The empire doesn't have the patience to wait slowly, this war reparations empire can't wait to get it all now, the sooner you get it, the better, the empire's Kyushu galaxy cluster construction is in urgent need of massive supplies.

Moreover, this gate of time and space was not built in vain, and most of the war reparations of the Olisa Empire and the Kalsi civilization in the future must be cashed in materials, and no one knows how huge this material will be.

Because according to the agreement, the Orissa Empire needs to pay 1 billion standard units of Void Ore to the Empire, plus a payment period of up to 100 million years, including interest, the Orissa Empire needs to pay a total of up to 2.5 billion standard units of Void Ore or goods of equal value. (Naturally, interest cannot be calculated according to our current annual interest, and the interest in the cosmic era is relatively long, so it is not more true here)

This means that the Olisa Empire needs to pay 2.5 standard units of Void Ore per year, which may not seem like a lot of 2.5 standard units of Void Ore, but if you know that the Abyss Civilization that originally owned the cornucopia of the Space-Time Dam has accumulated only more than 1 million standard units of Void Ore over a long period of hundreds of millions of years, you will know how valuable the Void Ore is.

Although the Olisa Empire has a vast territory of more than ten galaxy clusters, the Olisa Empire does not have a space-time dam, and the production of all the Void Ores of the Olisa Empire itself is very scarce.

2.5 standard units of Void Ore per year is enough for the Orissa Empire to scavenge countless goods to complete, and it is likely that tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of standard units of ordinary goods will be required to pay this war reparation.

With such a huge amount of materials, the empire naturally wants to get it as soon as possible to meet the needs of the construction of the Kyushu galaxy cluster, so this level 8 space-time gate will also be used to transport materials in the future, and it will not be built in vain.

On a 9A-level life planet in a prosperous star field at the core of the Qionglou River system, spaceships descended from the sky, and representatives of missions from the Calsi civilization, the Orissa Empire, and the abyss civilization appeared on this life planet.

The impatient Imperial delegation, which had been waiting for a long time, naturally greeted them happily, and soon entered the topic, all the terms had already been negotiated through the virtual network, and now it was a matter of going through the motions to sign them.

This agreement, known as the "Quadripartite Treaty" or "Qionglou Contract", has finally been signed!
