Chapter 322: Truce

For several months, the Confederation and the Empire have lost a series of wars, not only losing all the territories they had previously occupied, but also losing their troops! On the contrary, the empire robbed the territory of hundreds of star fields!

With such a heavy loss, it is natural that someone will take responsibility, and Federal President Lamit has resigned in disgrace. After Vice President Yan Longji succeeded to the throne, in order to stabilize the situation and win a respite, he had to give in to the empire and lower his attitude to discuss the armistice.

After the failure of the Federation's military adventure, it triggered a series of negative reactions, and the original allies turned back, either to remain neutral or to throw themselves into the arms of the Empire! And those big powers who are eyeing each other and ready to come up and get a piece of the pie are intentionally or unintentionally moving closer to the side of the Federation - the empire can't afford to provoke it, so it's the same to change the target!

Of course, Yan Longji understands the current situation, the fate of his family is currently tied to the Federation, and if the Federation collapses, the family will be finished! Therefore, while bowing to the empire, he also sent many envoys to visit everywhere to look for foreign aid. In any case, the ambitions of the empire at the height of the army must be curbed!

The top of the empire also has its own plans, and it is not exclusive to peace talks! Because the current empire does not have the conditions to swallow this great power in one bite for the time being! It's okay to fight, but the price paid will never be small, and in the face of pressure from other big countries, the empire will be very passive!

Therefore, at the Imperial Council, Gurlons proposed: negotiations can be carried out, but they must be negotiated according to the rules set by the empire! In addition to the territory that the empire has now occupied, the Federation must also cede all the more than forty star fields in the Shangyu system that belong to the Federation! And at the same time pay huge war reparations!

The division of administrative regions in the interstellar era starts with administrative planets suitable for human habitation, and a governor is set up on each administrative planet to coordinate the affairs of the planet and the development of multiple resource planets nearby. Basically, the star system where the administrative planet is located is under its control, and if you encounter a star system with more than one administrative planet, you will make another arrangement!

Above the star system is the star field, with a star field governor, whose jurisdiction varies in size, from hundreds of star systems to hundreds of thousands of star systems! The galaxies, of course, are those with planets! There are countless stars in the universe, but most of them have no planets, and there are basically no wormholes near those stars, so naturally there is no development and utilization value!

And among these star systems with planets, there are very few planets suitable for human habitation! Therefore, most star systems are only idle as strategic resource reserves, and not many can be exploited at this stage!

Above the star fields are galaxies, and each galaxy has hundreds to thousands of star fields!

Since mankind entered the interstellar age, with the rapid development of science and technology, the territory has become larger and larger! Countries have also sprung up! Up to now, the power with the country name in the sea of stars has exceeded five figures! Except for those large countries that have one or several star systems, most countries have only one star field-sized territory, and the proportion of countries with more than ten star fields is not high! There are many countries that even have only one habitable planet!

Of course, these countries are still much older than the Earth Age! At the beginning, there were more than 200 asteroids on the earth! Now it seems that it is really unimaginable.

The territory of the Xuanluo Federation is composed of two galaxies, the Monroe Galaxy and the Shangyu Galaxy. Among them, the 100-star field of the Monroe star coefficient is all owned by the Federation, and the more than 140 star fields of the Shangyu Galaxy are the result of the expansion of the last few hundred years.

Nearly forty percent of the Federation's metal smelting, warship manufacturing, and high-precision instrument processing industries are located in this galaxy, and if all of them are obtained by the Empire, then the blow to the Federation is extremely heavy! As long as there is a glimmer of possibility, the Federation will not be willing to sign such an agreement that humiliates the country!

The Shangyu Galaxy has more than 300 large and small star fields. Before the war, nearly half of them belonged to the Federation, and the Empire owned less than thirty of them, and the rest were all the territory of small and medium-sized states.

According to the deployment of the high-level of the empire, as long as you take these star fields of the Federation, and sweep away all the small countries in the Shangyu Galaxy! Then the empire will get a third complete galaxy in addition to the two major galaxies of Tianhua and Yunmeng! As long as it is digested, the economic and military strength will increase significantly, and the sea of stars will have more abundant capital!

The armistice negotiations lasted for a week, and the peace talks reached an impasse due to the intransigence of the Empire and the reluctance of the Federation to make such large concessions. As a result, the emperor ordered the imperial ** regiment on the front line to launch another large-scale offensive. Put pressure on the Federation!

"Since they are reluctant to give, then we will go and take it ourselves! The result is the same anyway! Fang Xuqi said.

As a result, under the stormy offensive of the Imperial Army, in less than ten days, the Federation Legion was defeated again, defeated all the way, and lost more than ten star fields!

In this battle, Pedrol and Zhu Yin led a detachment of divisions, made a detour and made a sneak attack, successfully attacked the logistics supply channel of the Federation fleet, and destroyed more than a dozen large material reserve bases! Seriously weakened the sustained combat capability of a large number of Federation fleets!

In desperation, the federal legation had no choice but to ask for an armistice again, and reluctantly returned to the negotiating table.

And this time, the conditions offered by the imperial side have been increased again, in addition to the original territorial claims, the war reparations have been nearly doubled!

"Distinguished gentlemen, this is your last chance!" At the negotiation table, Chen Yinjie smiled and said to the negotiators of the federation: "I don't deny it, the conditions are very harsh!" But you have no choice, and if we let our soldiers take it themselves, you will surely lose even more! ”

"If you fail like this once, if you do it once or twice, maybe you won't even have a chance to negotiate! Don't forget, there are many other countries that want to fight your idea! They are no easier to cope with than the Empire! ”

"So, in order to save your country, don't hesitate! His Majesty's patience is limited! ”

"Even if we sign an agreement, will we be able to feed you?" The Federation's negotiator asked rhetorically, "The reason why your empire is willing to talk is just to allow time to digest the results of the war!" Once you're ready, you'll be going to do it again! ”

"To sign or not to sign, isn't the result the same for the Federation?"

"Of course it's different!" Chen Yinjie said with a haha, "Now that you have signed, you can live for a while longer, although this time is not long, it is enough for you to transport your wife and children, as well as the wealth you have looted over the years, to abroad!" The Federation is over, and your good days are not over! ”

"If you don't sign it, then wait until the imperial army comes to the capital, hehe...... It's late! When your lover's daughter is dragged to comfort the soldiers of the empire, I wonder if you will feel distressed? ”

"You...... Shameless! The representative of the Federation slapped the case and said angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about? You have humiliated the federal government, you have disgraced the trillions of citizens of the federation! Is this what a prime minister can say? I protest, I would like to lodge the strongest protest to your Imperial Majesty! ”

"Go, go, go! I hope that Your Great Majesty will accept your protest! Before your federation is destroyed, I will have time to give you a satisfactory answer! "The rogue prime minister looked indifferent.

In the end, the Confederation did not sign the agreement. Because several other great powers joined forces to put pressure on the empire. The Gnaslok Empire and the Tiroa Empire sent envoys to mediate between the two sides, and after many rounds of bickering, a plan was signed that was not very satisfactory to the parties involved, but was still acceptable.

On the territory of the Federation, all the territories that have been occupied by the Empire are under the rule of the Empire! As for the territory that the empire demanded to be ceded separately, it was no longer mentioned, and the amount of war reparations was reduced to one-third of the original!

This made the hard-line generals of the military very dissatisfied, and Xue Chunfeng once complained in private: "The results of our desperate survival on the front line were all easily given away by those politicians at the negotiation table!" A bunch of moths who don't have enough to do and more to lose! ”

However, Yun Haoyu didn't care about this. On the contrary, from his standpoint, the Federation really can't be weakened too much, otherwise it will be a matter of time before the powerful empire unifies this star field!

At that time, if he was unwilling to accept the fate arranged for him by the emperor, he would only have to go to the other side of the sea of stars to develop!

On the map of the power distribution of the Star Sea World, the Shuofeng Empire is located in the northern part of the human territory. There were originally several great powers in this region, but now, the Gardley Federation has perished, and the Xuanluo Federation is now suppressed by the Empire and cannot raise its head! The Shuofeng Empire has faintly become the overlord of this star field!

Of course, in the southwest corner of the Shuofeng Empire, after a few vassal states, there is also the Tiroa Empire! The national strength is not inferior to the Shuofeng Empire, and the king of this generation, Philosis the Great, is a heroic and strategic lord, and he will never watch the Shuofeng Empire sit big and form a strategic advantage that is difficult to compete with himself!

Between these big countries, there is a chaotic area known as the "Prison Soul Star Sea", a large area of small and medium-sized countries, and all kinds of forces are intertwined, and no one can figure out the relationship between them! For hundreds of years, there have been many small wars in this region, and there has never been a day when they have really stopped!

Although the total territory is equivalent to the territory of several great powers, for so many years, the Prison Soul Star Sea has never been unified! The main thing is that the surrounding big countries don't want to see another opponent around them who is difficult to control! Therefore, the strategy of secretly infiltrating, supporting agents, and dividing and disintegrating this area has been adopted!

Although they all had the idea of taking this star sea into their pockets, several major powers were wary of each other, and they didn't want to cheapen each other! In the end, no one can help anyone! That's why the chaos has lasted for so many years!

The reason why Yun Haoyu took this place as his first choice to set up another portal was because he took a fancy to the chaotic situation here! As long as your own people change their faces, first win a small country, and then develop steadily, you can create a foundation in a relatively short period of time!

As soon as the armistice agreement was signed, the task of the imperial army was to garrison the existing occupied territories, and the rest was to sweep away those small and medium-sized countries bordering the empire.

As far as he is concerned, he has to start thinking of a way to get out now, I heard that the imperial capital is already starting to prepare for the wedding of the prince, and if he doesn't leave, I'm afraid he won't have a chance!

"Your Excellency the Marshal, we meet again!" In the secret room, Dronikov, the representative of the Cangling Organization, greeted Yun Haoyu respectfully.
