Chapter 441: Negotiation (5) The Crossroads of Fate

In Shen Chao's view, the enslavement mentioned by the No. 1 Theron is a false proposition at all, although the humans of the 035 plane did regard the mechanical body Theron people they created as slaves before, but this has already become a historical grudge with the end of the First Theron War.

After that, the Theron people were freed from human slavery and embarked on a new path of self-enslavement, in the same way that they hated the humans they hated at the time, and their own society was full of hierarchical differences.

The Humanoid Theron is superior to Theron society, firmly holding the position of dominance, managing all Theron units. The Theron warriors, who are the main body in large numbers, are still mechanical beings, and they are called by their own humanoid Theron "compatriots" due to the removal of their emotional functions, and they are no different from when humans enslaved them before.

Shen Chao himself could not talk about the communication with the fugitive fleet, because so far he had only provided humanitarian aid, not to mention that in a sense, neither of them was really "human".

If the definition of human beings is highly intelligent primates that evolved from apes, then neither the humans in the fugitive fleet nor the humanoids in front of them can be considered humans. The plot of the BSG series has already made it clear that their ancestors are also man-made!

Of course, in their current form, there is no essential difference between their forms and those of humans in the conventional sense. So Shen Chao didn't treat them differently, but the Theron people were not very active in the negotiations. Therefore, it seems that Shen Chao is biased towards the side of the fugitive fleet.

"Since you ask for it, then please listen, this is my condition." From today onwards, the Theron people will give up their pursuit of the humans from the 12 colonies of Kobo, hand over all the human captives in your hands, and establish diplomatic relations with the Space-Time Council on a regular basis......" Shen Chao threw out the conditions he had set.

Contrary to his expectations, the Theron delegation accepted the conditions one by one after a brief silence. He had expected that the Theron would oppose his offer in many details, but now it seemed that he didn't need further deterrence to force the other side.

"We agree to your terms, but we also have our own demands, first of all, we ask not to be discriminated against by your Plane Council. Other words. Your Plane Council must recognize the basic human rights of all Therons. At least be the same as the humans in the fugitive fleet! No. 1 responded after carefully considering the conditions offered by Shen Chao.

He was gambling on the fact that he was making this request, he was betting that the technical level of the Theron people would still be useful to Shen Chao's space-time council, and that although his space-time fleet was strong, he would not have the energy to go to war with the Theron people, and in this way, he asked Shen Chao not to pursue the historical issue of the Theron people's genocide.

I have to say. Number 1 is very sober and sensitive in his observation of the current situation. Although Shen Chao's attitude has always been very tough since the start of the war. But he could detect a trace of impatience in Shen Chao's expression.

Although he didn't know how much energy this space-time council had, and what Shen Chao's impatience was specifically aimed at, he guessed that the current space-time fleet probably didn't have the energy to deal with them Therons. And this part of the demand for human rights is a temptation for him.

If Shen Chao agrees to treat them indistinguishably from the humans in the fugitive fleet, then it means that the Space-Time Council does not have the energy to deal exclusively with the Therons. And if Shen Chao directly refuses, then it is likely that he still has a strong hostility towards them, and it is even possible that he will come back and turn his face in the future when he has accumulated enough strength.

This was the point of greatest concern on the part of the Theron delegation. It's like Shen Chao was worried that the Theron people would rush up indiscriminately and drive him out of this plane. The people of Theron are also worried that the peace talks presided over by Shen Chao are doing superficial work.

I'm worried that he'll tear up the agreement as soon as he closes the space-time gate and leaves, and then come with a large fleet that has always been able to exterminate the Theron people when he comes next time. This fear is very real, the Theron people themselves have carried out similar acts of genocide, and it is really difficult for them to convince themselves that the Plane Council will be more merciful than they are.

As a result of this concern about interaction, the two sides have been tentative since the beginning of the negotiations, and although some superficial consensus has been reached, the basis of these agreements is fragile and can be easily broken. Thinking of this, Shen Chao decided to change his strategy.

"Well, you can see that you don't know some important history. So a lot of misunderstandings between us are hard to dispel, take this back and take a look, and you may have some constructive views after reading it. When the time comes, it's your choice whether to continue peace talks or go to war, or something else......"

Shen Chao handed them another wooden box as he spoke. Like the box given to the Fugitive Fleet delegation, this box contained several hard drives engraved with BSG series HD video. The Theron were sent back to Plane 035 along with the fugitive fleet's delegation.

Like the fugitive fleet delegation, they all felt like they were away from home after leaving the warm sands and passing through the space-time gate back to the cold-hued airport of the Budapest. If it weren't for the wooden box souvenir in their hands, some of them might have thought it was a bizarre dream.

At the Budapest airport, the delegations of both sides left on their own shuttles and returned safely to their respective ships. But their shock has only just begun! The delegations of both sides returned to their respective ships almost synchronously.

After going back, both sides gathered their important people as quickly as possible to observe the contents of the hard drive. Unbeknownst to the video, most of the key characters on the Galactica who have appeared in the BSG series participated in their respective "premieres". Because of the ship's neural network, the people of Theron are even more people on the whole ship watching together.

Many of these people are unaware that these videos will reveal their most secret and dirty secrets, such as Dr. Portal, who is on the run from the fleet. As one of the top scientists among the surviving humans, he was placed in a small premiere in the fugitive fleet.

The key figures of the entire fugitive fleet are basically here, the president's lady, the two captains of the battleship, the chief priest, several public representatives, the translator, and Adama's pit father's son...... These people are there. They all hoped to find something meaningful in the hard drive given by Shen Chao.

As a result, when the video started playing, the worldview of many of them began to crumble! Ten minutes into the show, Dr. Portal's first burst out of the small room where the video was playing amid a burst of insults, and was then chased by an angry crowd and pushed to the ground.

As the first rape in the entire series who can pull hatred, his bad deeds were exposed at the beginning of the plot. When I saw that he was derelict in his duties in the plot, and then buried part of the defense system of the entire colonial fleet. Even he is good at making excuses to get out, and he can't explain it. After being caught, Dr. Portall was kicked and beaten by an angry crowd and eventually put in confinement.

Subsequently, with the number of participants in the premiere reduced, the Fugitive Fleet was able to continue watching the series here. It wasn't until two days of sleepless watching that everyone walked out of the screening room without saying a word.

They now know a lot of things they shouldn't know, and the relationships between everyone who participated in the premiere have become very broken as the truth has been revealed. Except for a few who, like Admiral Kane, found themselves avoiding the death catastrophe in the plot, the rest of them were exhausted.

Adama's feelings are particularly complicated, in the plot he pays the most for the survival of the fleet, but he is betrayed again and again. In the end, he found out that his old comrade-in-arms was also the adjutant of the Calacica, and Colonel Thor, who was actually an unwitting Therlon! Such a series of blows made him, who has always been determined, a little unable to hold on.

Corresponding to their reaction, there are also some people who are mixed after watching the series, because they participated in some very deadly behaviors in the future plot played in the series, and finally really died!

Since it was the first time that everyone saw the future that they were supposed to usher in, everyone had a lot of doubts and puzzles, so before coming out, the President and the two captains issued a gag order, and no one was allowed to say the content of the video they saw in the past two days until further verification of the information in the episode.

The Therons on the other side reacted in a similar way, but their reaction was more violent than that of the humans, as they found that their vaunted organizational system had collapsed in the plot, so much so that they later split within themselves and started a civil war......

Although I don't want to believe the authenticity of these contents, the portrayal of each of them in the series is nuanced and completely their own reactions. So after a heated discussion, the Theron flagship also issued an order to temporarily block the video content.

People on both sides were shocked by the content of the series and knew the end of their respective destinies, and from this, they finally understood the reason why Shen Chao gave them these videos. There is no doubt that Shen Chao gave them a chance to choose their fate again.

The representatives of the Theron were the first to decide, and after watching the episode, their organization split and quarreled over the dramatic changes in Theron's society in the episode.

After finally quelling the internal unrest, they elected a new delegation and immediately set off to return to the Budapest to negotiate a peace agreement with Shen Chao. However, their representatives were not immediately received by Shen Chao, but waited in the reception area for nearly an hour. (To be continued......)
