Chapter 861: Peace Talks
In the third month of Gao Yuan's return, the news that shocked the entire earth came, and the Imperial Peace Talks Mission came!
As early as the time when Huang Enhao was assassinated, the war on the front line was turned upside down.
The autocracy of the empire allows them to wage war at all costs, without the need for parliamentary authorization, democratic discussion, and arbitration to reach the most reasonable outcome.
But once the dragons are leaderless, the previous advantages become fatal disadvantages.
Losing the emperor, the army that was originally loyal as a commander suddenly became a plate of scattered sand, the marshal could not control the general, the general could not control the captain, everyone had their own thoughts.
Some people heard that the eldest prince had taken control of the imperial situation, so they only obeyed the orders of the eldest prince.
Someone heard that the second prince had led his troops back to Jinding City, so he announced his obedience to the second prince.
There are also people at both ends of the rat, watching left and right, nominally neutral, but in fact waiting for the price on both sides, whoever opens the highest price will follow whom.
The officers have become like this, and the soldiers are even more panicked, and they don't even know who their sacrifice is for, how can the war be fought in this situation?
Before the earthlings could counterattack, the Empire's position had already collapsed.
When the Earth Alliance launched a counterattack, the Imperial Army was immediately defeated and retreated, and all positions were abandoned without any resistance. It took more than a year before, and the empire spent countless manpower and material resources, sacrificing hundreds of thousands of troops to capture the Earth Star Domain, and it only took half a month to lose it cleanly.
Next, the Earth Alliance was like a rainbow, and successively captured the buffer zone between the two civilizations, and then entered the star field of the empire.
All the resource stars that were lost before have been snatched back, and all the territories that were lost before have been snatched back, and then it is time for the earthlings to counterattack and liquidate.
After entering the Empire, the offensive of the Earth Alliance Army slowed down.
Divisions also arose within the coalition forces.
Some countries want to take revenge and demand to capture the land of the empire, hand over the culprit of the war, and come up with a large amount of war reparations, otherwise they will sweep the empire and turn the empire into a colony of the earth.
On the other hand, some countries are tormented by the war, and they don't want to continue fighting, they just want to end the war as soon as possible, and it is better for the empire to compensate for some of it, and if it can't compensate, it can cede land.
Despite the great differences of opinion between the two sides, there was a common idea: the Imperials should not be pushed too hard.
The situation of the empire was already very bad, two princes were vying for power, warlords everywhere were self-reliant, rebellions were rampant everywhere, and the whole empire was in dire straits.
In this case, even if the Earth Alliance does not attack, the empire will face division and a long civil war.
The attack of the coalition forces may make the imperial people unite with the enemy, but it is in the best interests of the earthlings to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
The observation of the earthlings made the imperial people feel like pins and needles, but all the imagiles who were a little sane knew that they could not continue to fight like this, otherwise the fate of the empire would only be conquered by the earth.
However, there are not many sensible people in the Empire, and most of them only focus on a small piece of immediate interests. They took advantage of the troubled times to grab territory and strengthen their power, and the major nobles desperately looted resources, grabbed star fields, plundered population, and divided the empire into small vassal states, hating and confronting each other, and wars were continuous.
In this case, even the eldest prince and the second prince are powerless to return to the sky, in addition to competing for the throne with their own brothers, they also have to worry about the division of those nobles, and they also have to worry about the prying eyes of the earthlings, how can they clean up such a big mess.
Under these circumstances, the second prince, Emperor Mingwei, finally made the first compromise on the part of the empire, sending a delegation to visit the earth, hoping to reach a peace agreement and restore order to the empire with the help of the power of the earth.
The visit of this mission meant that the first war between the two civilizations ended with the Earth gaining the upper hand, and when the news came out, the earthlings cheered and were extremely excited.
Gao Yuan is very calm.
The empire is now like a huge tumor that can only be treated with heavy hands, but it is impossible to recover by relying on its own strength, and it must be restored with the help of external forces.
Earth, once the enemy, is now the only savior of the Empire.
But whether the sick man of the empire should be saved, how to save it, and what kind of benefits should be obtained from it in order to save it, this is another huge problem, and it will even affect the development of the earth for hundreds of years in the future.
Gao Yuan couldn't think about this kind of problem thoroughly, and he didn't need to think about it, so naturally the heads of state of 19 countries would argue and discuss it. Anyway, with the efficiency and manipulation between the governments of the earth, there will be no results in discussions in three or two years.
The question of the empire, with the arrival of the peace mission, gradually ceased to be a problem, or rather became a happy annoyance. The earthlings are thinking about how to slaughter the empire in order to obtain the maximum benefits.
And the decline of the empire also brings the question of whether the military control imposed on the countries of the whole earth can come to an end?
It is not clear to other countries that the distribution of benefits after the war has already begun within China.
The struggle between the prime minister and the Qin family gradually entered a white heat.
Whether the military will continue to control power or restore the atmosphere that once had a more liberal atmosphere is a matter of disagreement, and there is a struggle in the court, in the rivers and lakes.
Gao Yuan stayed out of the matter.
After experiencing the empire, Gao Yuan has different perceptions of life and death, fate, and a higher level of life.
It was difficult for the world to bother him, and more energy was focused on Gao Wu's research.
In the fourth month of his return, Gao Yuan's soul was fulfilled and he came into contact with the edge of the gods
In the seventh month of his return, Gao Yuan completely digested and fused the medicinal properties of the 10,000-year-old vermilion fruit and the colorful exquisite flower, and his force skyrocketed again, and he finally succeeded in joining the gods.
In the twelfth month of his return, Gao Yuan's divine soul had completely converged, and he finally stood on the edge of the realm of voyeurism.
The outside world is disturbed, and the world is changing.
Some people cry, some laugh, some people quarrel, some people make trouble, some people live, some people die, some people are promoted to make a fortune, and some people take root.
There are tides, there are tides, there are wind and clouds, and there are vicissitudes.
In just one year, the world has changed, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the pursuit of martial arts.
But if a person is obsessed with something, immersed in something, devotes himself wholeheartedly, does not like things, does not feel sorry for himself, and pursues the great road, he will feel that everything else is not important.
What really matters is the true meaning of the avenue.
Standing on the edge of voyeurism, Gao Yuan realized that the truth he had told others before had become a burden at the moment.
Only when you really face the realm of emptiness can you appreciate the vast abyss of martial arts.
With this step, the sky is no longer the sky, the earth is no longer the earth, and I am no longer me!
