Chapter 587: Compromise?

This is not to say that Shen Chao's psychological quality is poor, and he can't accept the destruction of his ship, and wants to take revenge on the Theron people. In fact, not long after he ordered the Pegasus to blow itself up, he accepted the tactical defeat he had suffered in this battle intellectually and emotionally, and admired the opposite One's ability to seize such a small fighter to try to turn the tables, and finally forced himself to blow up the ship.

However, this admiration is a manifestation of his personal feelings, and how to deal with the relationship with the Theron people is a matter of business. The process and outcome of this battle are related to many people and things, and it is not his feelings that can be influenced by his feelings. Even if Shen Chao was able to accept such a defeat personally, it did not mean that he would immediately accept the Theron people's request for peace talks.

First of all, as Shen Chao's ship, the Pegasus is not just an ordinary warship, it is also a symbol, symbolizing the undefeated force of the Space-Time Council. If they want to have actual control over Plane 035 in the foreseeable future, they can't afford to lose such a symbol.

Because the current size of the Space-Time Fleet is far from sufficient to control the overall situation in the galaxy of Plane 035, only Jace's racial credibility and his own undefeated record can force the Theron to accept all of their terms.

But now, this symbol no longer exists, and the Pegasus has exploded in front of everyone's eyes, and the Temporal Council has lost not only an ordinary warship, but also the fear of the Theron people.

The previous time when Shen Chao led the team to the 035 plane, the size and strength of the space-time fleet were not even as good as now, but at that time, they successfully frightened the Theron people, and even forced some of the Theron people to surrender, and scared the No. 1 at that time to make a desperate move.

And this time, although they won a fleet battle battle. But the Cerron people's request for an armistice did not contain an apology or a clause like handing over the war's sponsors. This shows that they were not intimidated by the previous battle, but faced them with a bargaining or even tentative mentality.

Once their request for peace talks is accepted now, the Space-Time Council will be considered to have given the truth. It is likely that the Theron will believe that their abilities are limited and they are unable to restrain their own side's behavior, and then use their home position to play hide and seek with the Plane Council.

When Shen Chao changed ships a few months ago, it was to prevent a situation like this from happening in any plane, and the Budapest at that time was decisively abandoned by him just because of its weakness in the unexpected battle between the Mass Effect plane and the Reaper battleship.

And now it turns out that way. Not long after the Pegasos became his ship, the battleship that carried his great hopes ushered in the end of self-detonation. This was both a failure of his own tactical deployment and a hint to replace the new ship.

However, before he can embark on a journey to find a new ship, he needs to find a place to get back and subdue the Theron people. After all, it is a very faceless thing for his ship to be blown up, although the interstellar navy has never had a tradition of the captain and the battleship living together, and Shen Chao can also justify that he sacrificed the ship for the sake of the overall situation, but these reasons cannot save the loss of face, let alone make the Theron people make a compromise that they are satisfied with at the negotiation table. Therefore, further expanding the scope of the war has become the most reasonable option in front of him.

Of course, the above reasons for expanding the war were not the overt reasons he gave, and the belligerents that the Council of Time and Space later announced to the public in the rear planes were actually artistically processed versions, not mentioning these things at all, but talking about the destruction of the surface.

In general, this is the case, because the intense light radiation when the Pegasus blew itself up in the previous battle was too close to the Earth, and a large number of mammals and reptiles were blinded on the ground. Many are still permanently blind. The same is true of many primitive tribes on the ground.

And this is just the beginning, as the intensity of light radiation once reached a very high level. Far beyond the limits of the cellular endurance of ordinary organisms, the genes of many surface organisms are also affected by different processes, just like a sun bath for too long, which will produce large-scale cancerous changes in the foreseeable future. The surface biosphere is estimated to face a wave of extinction of large organisms.

This means that half of the Earth's biosphere has been affected by the previous battles, and the Plane Council's final belligerence is based on this. Officially, the Spacetime Fleet is "punishing" the Theron for a disaster in the surface biosphere.

Of course. The space-time fleet does not engage in punishment in the sense of cannons, their punishment refers to actions. And in order to do this, Shen Chao had to stop the overhaul plan of the Long Night supercarrier, which had just started not long in the rear.

As the vehicle with the largest tonnage and the strongest carrying capacity in the current space-time fleet, only by bringing it into the battlefield can Shen Chao achieve the tactical effect that Shen Chao needs. Words without it. The pursuit of the Theron fleet can only be a dream.

During the previous war, a small number of Jace landing forces boarded the Theron ships and installed positioning devices. These locators can pinpoint the current position of the Theron fleet, but this does not mean that the Jace fleet can directly pursue it.

Because while the Theron are in weaponry and the tactics they use are quite old, their jump engine is far stronger than that of the newcomer Jace. By this time, the Theron fleet had evacuated to a distant star sector that was 1,200 light-years away from the solar system.

The number of ships equipped with the BSG jump engine in the Space-Time Fleet is not enough to effectively strike the Theron fleet, so they need a large vehicle to help them achieve a fleet-level rapid transfer.

Otherwise, with the regular jumping method of the Jace fleet, and without the help of the Mass Effect repeaters, it would have taken them at least a month to reach that far away. Therefore, in order to mobilize enough Jace ships to fight the enemy, he must use the Long Night Horn, which has not yet been repaired.

Shen Chao's decision was not entirely rational, but it was quickly implemented, and although many of the shipyard's technical experts objected to the decision, the Long Night quickly ended the planned overhaul and left the factory ahead of schedule to start new work.

While Shen Chao's side was actively preparing for the second battle, the Theron people were anxiously waiting for a reply from the Space-Time Council. After overthrowing One's rule, they formed an emergency committee to deal with the affairs of the Therons.

And the most urgent of all the affairs at the moment is naturally the peace talks with the Plane Council, and a group of leading figures of the Theron society who were imprisoned in the rear prison by No. 1 before the departure have been released and joined the emergency committee.

Under the joint consultation of these Theron people, the political route of suing for peace with the powerful Space-Time Council was quickly decided. However, since none of them knew the specific strength of the Plane Council, they also left a "special advisor" to help them make decisions.

This "special advisor" was the No. 1 Theron who had waged all the wars, and at this point he had been thrust from his leadership position, his limbs handcuffed and shackled to the chair of the conference room of the temporary command ship.

Most of the Theron of his model have also been sent to cryopreservation for hibernation. He was left to serve as an adviser to the Emergency Committee, who had started the war. He is the only one of the existing Theron fleets to have participated in all of his contacts with the Planar Council. From the earliest conflicts to the latest campaigns, every conflict between the Theron and the Plane Council has been presided over by this One.

The other Theron people in the fleet had just learned about such an interdimensional organization as the Space-Time Council, and they needed such a person who had talked to Shen Chao face-to-face to help them determine the situation. Of course, the advice given by No. 1, who was temporarily imprisoned by them, was by no means the kind they were willing to listen to at this time.

"You're dreaming, you know! The Temporal Council will not accept your request for peace, and your only option now is to split up your fleets and wage a long war with them, forcing these alien humans to get out of the way, or the future of our race will be out of our control......"

Number One was very excited in the command room and gave a bunch of his own opinions. As he spoke, he struggled, causing a screeching noise from the chains at his wrists and ankles. He anxiously wanted to get the attention of the other Theron people in this way, and it was better to listen to his own opinion.

Of course, given that his personal credit had just gone bankrupt in Theron society, most of the various types of Theron people on the scene just turned their heads when they heard it, and then went back to their own topics, completely ignoring his words, and some of them still laughed and ridiculed after hearing his words.

"Don't put on a show, One, we all know it's just your pride at fault. As you yourself admit, every time the Council of Time and Space comes into contact with us, it is you who have repeatedly pushed our entire race into the flames of war! ”

One of the No. 4 Theron retorted to One's words, and after most of the day's interrogation, they learned the whole story from One. After learning about the origin of the Space-Time Council and the conditions it had previously offered, most people thought it was acceptable.

Although their previous goal has always been to exterminate humanity and build a harmonious and efficient new civilization ruled by the Theron people without human "pollution" and "chaos". However, the emergence of the Space-Time Council clearly blocked this possibility.

After all, no matter how much they boasted of their racial superiority, they would not be able to defeat a cross-dimensional organization that was stronger in force than them and could advance and retreat at any time. Under these circumstances, most of the Theron people agreed to make a compromise, and it would not be the first time they had made a peace agreement with humanity. Anyway, according to their previous "successful" experience, they can break the contract at any time if they are unhappy...... (To be continued......)
