Chapter 821: A Familiar Taste
Although he had expected that Gemini would take the initiative to ask for help for the safety of the mother planet, the people who came were somewhat unexpected by Ma Zhe.
"Speaker Kreuzer?"
"Your Excellency, we meet again."
The light and shadow effects of the virtual image are realistic, and you can clearly see the slightly haggard face of Speaker Kreuzer.
Obviously, the major crisis on his home planet has made him a little anxious lately.
"Get straight to the point, what do you want this time?"
"What does this mean, Speaker, I don't quite understand." Ma Zhe was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be stupid.
"Equivalent exchange, isn't that your organization's consistent trading principle?
If you want you to keep the Gemini Mother Star, you must have already thought about the asking price in your heart, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Kreuzer spoke calmly.
"Uh......" I didn't expect the other party to be so direct.
But hold back, smile sincerely, and eat elegantly!
Ma Zhe smiled. "Worthy of the Speaker."
"Hah! It's just a few years older, plus I can recognize the situation. Kreuzer said helplessly.
The ants on the hot pan are used to describe today's Gemini, and the longer the time drags on, the more tormented the Gemini becomes.
"Presumably, when you sent troops into Gemini, you had already anticipated today's situation, or rather...... Today's situation is what you have contributed to, right? ”
"Huh?" Ma Zhe blinked innocently.
"The speaker has really wronged us, the second prince sent troops to sneak attack, we can't control this, and it is already our organization's greatest effort to get the news in advance."
"Haha......" Kreuzer smiled noncommittally.
Even if the second prince sends troops to attack you and can't control it, I'm afraid the next development will follow your script......
Not to mention anything else, just rely on the iron-walled fleet you can fight and dare not fight, with this kind of strength, can you really not hold a wormhole?
There are two possible causes.
The first is that they don't want the other party to be trapped and fighting, destroying the territory of the solar system too much, or causing too many casualties to themselves.
The second is naturally to want to bring disaster to the east, and then watch the fire from the other side, and take advantage of the fire to rob!
So the current situation is ...... Is it true that the other party can't catch up with the Iron Wall Fleet?
Politicians are not detectives, they don't need to talk about evidence, Kreuzer already has the answer in mind.
Kreuzer was not angry because of the other party's deliberate design, and in the contest between forces and forces, or between civilizations, he was able to play the enemy in the palm of his hand, which was strength and the most brilliant strategic art.
The skills are not as good as others, and the heart is convinced!
After dealing with each other for so long, Kreuzer can be regarded as having some context in the style of acting in the One Society.
This organization, as they claim, wants something, and often does not like to use force, but prefers to use "trade".
Obviously, it has such a powerful military force, but it is hidden and rarely uses force directly.
Energy Crystal Trading, Intelligence Trading, "Vector Engine" Trading......
Several collaborations with the Unification of All Things, although there is a certain degree of coercion, but Gemini has not suffered a big loss.
From this point of view, the "character" and "reputation" of the Association of the Unification of All Things are still guaranteed to a certain extent.
This is why the Gemini are increasingly willing to deal with this mysterious force in a cooperative rather than confrontational manner.
However, if Kreuzer knew that the reason why "Everything is One" is so "gentle and low-key" to the outside world is entirely because not long ago, even the twin stars were still the "behemoth" existence they needed to look up to, I don't know how he would feel?
Tiger skin is bluffing, can you really go up and scratch the other party?
What should I do if I force people to be anxious and really fight with you?
Ma Zhe didn't want to be hard before, but he was completely empty!
"Talk about your conditions, as long as they are not too excessive, Gemini can accept them.
It's just that you have to understand that we don't have a treasure like a 'vector engine' anymore, and I'm afraid we can't afford to pay too high a price. After Kreuzer confessed, he naturally cried poor.
Anyway, it's not the first time I've paid the protection fee.
This thing was handed over once, and the second time it was not so resistant......
"The speaker is straight to the point, then I won't hide it, as long as the speaker agrees to the two conditions, we will immediately take action to completely solve the threat of the Iron Wall Fleet."
"First, we're going to be Proxima Centauri." With strength as support, Ma Zhe spoke very directly and hard.
Kreuzer frowned.
Mowing the land?
This condition was somewhat unexpected, and there was a shortage of land for this level of power?
And...... Why Proxima Centauri?
Kreuzer was thoughtful, but the answer was quite pleasant. "Yes!"
Compared to the importance of the Gemini parent star, a remote and unexplored wild galaxy is not a loss no matter how you look at it!
"Hmm!" Ma Zhe nodded with satisfaction.
The other party seems to have seen the situation clearly, and he is very good, so he doesn't have to bother talking about it.
"Second, sign the free trade agreement between the earth and the twin stars, and we will be responsible for establishing the Karaxing duty-free port, so that goods from both sides can flow freely!"
Hearing this, Kreuzer was silent for a long time.
After the land is cut, it is forced to open the treaty port?
How did he smell a familiar smell......
This free trade agreement is not simply a matter of free circulation of goods, if the other side relies on a higher level of technology to dump a large number of goods into Gemini, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on Gemini's own industrial system.
This is like the planetary age, when the industrial countries dump their products on the agricultural countries, which is itself a kind of resource plunder based on scientific and technological superiority.
At the same time, it castrated the possibility of developing indigenous industries in agrarian countries and hindered their scientific and technological progress.
Of course, nothing is absolute, and there are also examples of the poor and white Huaxia Kingdom that has finally turned around and counterattacked through decades of reform and opening up.
For Gemini, this is a crisis and an opportunity.
If the free trade agreement can be used to exchange the market for technology, it may not be possible to quickly improve the strength of the twin stars.
And the most urgent thing for Gemini at the moment is to improve their strength, otherwise what will they do to face the behemoths of the Woolf Empire, the Cymbin, and even the One Society?
Didn't you see a random fleet popping up now, and it already made the twin stars tremble?
Ma Zhe looked at the tangled Kreuzer, knowing that the other party was fiercely weighing the pros and cons, and just waited quietly.
This second condition is actually an attempt made by Ma Zhe.
Try a ...... An alternative model of civilization development!
The earth's civilization has developed to the point where it is today, and the technology and military system have entered the top ranks of the surrounding star fields, which is enough to compete with the old interstellar empires such as Woolf and the Cymbals.
But it has a flaw that cannot be remedied in a short period of time...... That's volume!
The earth civilization with the advantages of the "fire source" Ma Zhe, the mechanical bug, the technology left over from the Zero-Returning civilization, and the water of life undoubtedly has great potential for development.
But if you want to develop the potential, you need resources, massive resources!
If nothing else, just talk about energy, the Woolf Empire has hundreds of stars that have completed the full "Dyson sphere" energy system, and the "Prometheus Project" of the solar system can only be carried out to one-tenth.
Even if Mager mobilizes an army of all humans and machines, not to mention the Woolf Empire, the comprehensive capacity to catch up with the twin stars is far away.
Therefore, he can only find another way and take the route of high-end elite soldiers.
However, the elite route also needs resources, especially basic resources such as various rare metals and energy, and scientific and technological research and development is a large consumer of resources.
Stone Age, Iron Age, Industrial Age......
The higher the level of technology, the more resources a civilization can claim!
The human resources that can be used by the earth's civilization are only one galaxy, and if it takes a lot of time to collect these resources, the energy will undoubtedly be scattered.
What's more, there are many rare resources that cannot be searched in the solar system, or the stock is very small, which makes it even more difficult to collect.
At that time, the "Kara Star Free Trade Zone" was actually an attempt by the Earth civilization to take advantage of the huge market of Gemini to accelerate the development of civilization through resource complementarity.
But it's a pity that the scientific and technological level of the earth's civilization at that time was half as good as that of Gemini, so it was naturally impossible to use the advantages of science and technology to carry out asymmetric resource plunder.
Therefore, in addition to the energy crystal trade, the trading volume of the two sides has been tepid, at most it is a "small commodity market".
But now it is different, Ma Zhe, who entered the high-level battlefield of the Woolf Empire, has made a lot of money, driving the scientific and technological level of the earth's civilization to continue to soar.
Electronic products, industrial machinery, and even mechas, warships, the earth's civilization is undergoing amazing technological incubation, these high-end products urgently need a huge market to digest, in exchange for massive resources, in order to impact higher scientific and technological peaks.
The time is ripe!
Of course, Ma Zhe can directly enslave Gemini by force, but it is still that problem, the size of the earth's civilization is too small.
Maybe a snake swallows an elephant, a snake swallows a whale?
I am afraid that the suppression of rebellions in various parts of Gemini will make Earth's civilization exhausted.
Therefore, if you want to make the most of the value of Gemini, it is best to use a peaceful way to let the other party work for yourself willingly!
On the basis of absolute force, the low-level industrial chain will be transferred to developing countries, while the own side will harvest the basic resources of these countries through a series of peaceful means such as controlling high-end industrial chains and patent barriers.
This was the stage of development that almost every developed country has generally experienced, and it was also the background of the era of "globalization" at that time.
And at this time, Ma Zhe ...... I want to make the earth's civilization the top of the food chain!
Ma Zhe believes that this is the best way for the earth's civilization to directly promote to a higher civilization in the shortest possible time by spanning the long era of interstellar development with its current size!
As long as the earth's civilization can always maintain its technological and military superiority, the trillions of people in Gemini will become "miners" and "farmers" who work for them, and become a kind of alternative vassal.
This model of development is suitable for civilizations that are small in size but extremely powerful.
As long as it parasitizes on the Gemini civilization, the Earth civilization can get a steady supply of blood.
Parasitism!
This is indeed the evaluation of this model of civilization development by several scientists who participated in the discussion at that time.
However, Ma Zhe does not like it very much, and he prefers to call this model ......
A peaceful commercial development route with the characteristics of the red doctrine of the earth's civilization!
