Chapter 30: Unconditional Surrender
When Lockhee arrived at Lilia in a Z-20, looking at the large construction site below, Lockhee couldn't help but sigh. I thought that the last time I came here, I was still the commander who commanded an army of 100,000 to recover Trixis. However, this time, on behalf of the Empire, he came to discuss the surrender of the expeditionary force.
After getting off the Z-20, in the face of this huge steel monster, Lockhee was speculating whether the Chinese with such a powerful power could be dealt with by the empire for decades or even hundreds of years.
The two-moon flag fluttering at the head of Lilia's city has long been replaced by the five-star red flag of Huaxia, and various buildings below that have never been seen have also been built.
When Locke arrived inside Lilia City, he got off the helicopter. Look at the surrounding Lilia residents, their faces are full of happiness. Compared with the rule of the Empire, it seems that they are more willing to accept the rule of China. Much of the work of carrying stones and goods fell on the inhabitants of Lilia, but they were not disgusted, nor did they see any disgust, and their faces were happy. And those imperial women who don't usually go out much, at this time, also hold baskets of vegetables to comfort these hard-working Lilia men, and happily want the Chinese people to throw their eyes.
Lockhee couldn't help but ask curiously the magicians of the Chinese Association Army next to him: "What's going on?" Lilia's inhabitants seem to be happy to enjoy this kind of labor, right? ”
The magician glanced at Locke and said, "Who doesn't want to work?" The Chinese lords are paying the workers RMB, 500 soft per month. You can buy a lot of things from the Chinese lords, everyone wants to make money, and then go to buy the good things of the Chinese lords. After doing a good job, there is also a meal, and the dishes of the Chinese lords are simply the best dishes in the entire galaxy. ”
Locke pointed to the people next to him who were still wearing Imperial uniforms, black and black, and happy to carry goods, and asked, "What about these Imperial soldiers?" ”
"Them?" The magician smiled: "The prisoners of war have worked hard for the Huaxia masters, in exchange for freedom, and then they will be able to live in Lilia." ”
"Lilia is so good?"
The magician nodded and said, "See, there are rows of 7-story buildings over there, and they are all the residences of the old men of Huaxia." Look over there, row upon row of 5-story buildings, this is the residence of us outstanding members of the Huaxia Assistance Army. Look at the 3-storey buildings over there, which are all sold to the residences of Lilia's residents. Don't underestimate these residences, the Chinese lords have brought us advanced civilization. The nozzle that comes out with hot water when you twist it allows you to take a hot shower every day, and you don't understand high-tech. The stove that can be lit with a twist allows you to make a fire and cook at any time, fully automatic and understandable. ”
Lockhee wanted to ask a little more, but the magician said, "Marshal Lockhee, it's time to go, Commander Luo wants to see you." ”
But when Loxey was taken to Lilia's castle, Luo Yu was waiting for him in the conference room. There were many soldiers of the expeditionary force standing in the conference room, and beside Luo Yu, Albert, Vivi, Nia and Gudraci were also sitting upright on their seats.
When Locke looked at a few people, he saw Luo Yu's indifferent face, and he didn't care about Lockhee's gaze. And Albert was somewhat ashamed, perhaps because he had taken refuge in the Chinese and felt sorry for his father. Weiwei's eyes when she looked at Lockhee were more excited and expectant, after all, Weiwei was Lockshee's daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door in theory. As for Nia, the girl looked at Lockhee with just curiosity, as if she was curious about why Lockshee was here. As for Gudraci, he has a proud face, and after taking refuge in Huaxia, his body is also a lot straighter, Empire? Inferior civilization, go away, I am a senior cadre of the Chinese Association Army.
After the door of the conference room was closed, Luo Yumo rubbed his chin, and then said: "Marshal Lockhee, I have recently learned a little bit of the simple lingua franca of the empire, let's go straight to the point." Luo Yu smiled lightly and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"Peace talks." Lockhee spat out these two words very heavily.
Luo Yu hugged his hands together, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, you should surrender, with the current situation, the expeditionary force does not accept peace talks, we only accept unconditional surrender." ”
"Unconditional surrender!?"
"That's right, unconditionally." Luo Yu nodded, and then listed the content of the surrender: "One, Emperor Afis must abdicate and give up the throne to His Royal Highness Albert. ”
This one, when Lockhee was expected, Emperor Afis was ready to give way.
"Second, hand over the Class-A war criminal Hassim who started this war and the ten senators of the Senate. Of course, there are only seven of the ten senators left in the Senate, Brown has unfortunately died in the war, and the senators Bell and Le Pen have been arrested by us. As for Afis, because of His Highness Albert, we will not hold Afis accountable for his crimes, forgive him for being blinded by Hassim and the Senate. ”
Lockhee breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this was what Albert had won for His Majesty Afis, and His Majesty Afis now had no worries.
"Third, to compensate for the losses caused by the aggression against our country."
Locke nodded, this is a reasonable thing, but how much this loss is, it is unknown, Lockxi has already made a plan in his heart, and was opened by the Chinese lion. Who knew that as soon as the Huaxia Lion opened his mouth and directly asked for all the taxes of the empire, Locke was even more remorseful.
"Fourth, compensate for all the expenses incurred by our country in this war."
Lockhee thought that the war would not cost much. After all, there was a war in the empire that didn't reach the point of economic devastation. However, Locke obviously does not know the truth that in modern warfare, a cannon fires ten thousand taels of gold, and a missile, I am afraid that it is a Lamborghini.
"Fifth, hand over the emerald green star to the Huaxia government."
This is acceptable to Lockhee, after all, the Emerald Star is only a colonial star of the Empire. There doesn't seem to be much else on that planet other than slaves for the Empire. As for opening mines, so many mines in Shuangyue Star have not yet been opened, how can they have the energy to open Emerald Green Star. However, the current men of Emerald Star seem to be about to be persecuted by the Empire, and there is no labor force to speak of, so the Chinese people will not take advantage of those women. Lockhee was a little secretly happy, in his opinion, the Emerald Star had no purpose other than providing free labor. However, when Luo Yu took over the Emerald Star, Luo Yu burst into laughter, the ratio of men and women in the Emerald Green Star dared to reach 1:5 under the oppression of the empire, which was simply creating an excellent immigration environment for the Republic.
"Sixth, cede the area currently occupied by the expeditionary force to the Huaxia government."
This Lockhee was naturally expected, if the empire defeated Huaxia, such conditions would also be offered, and Lockhee did not object. As long as Afis does not die and the empire does not perish, everything still has a chance.
"Seventh, the empire is only allowed to keep an army of no more than 100,000 men."
This one, Lockhee and Afis discussed, let's just steal a living, and then resist them when they learn the techniques of the Huaxia people. 100,000 people, plus the prestige of the emperor, should be enough.
"Eighth, the empire and Huaxia signed an alliance agreement, forever Qin and Jin, Huaxia will help the empire to defend, and at the same time Huaxia has the right to recruit troops in the empire."
Lockhee couldn't help but be stunned, are the Chinese still so good? But it helps the empire, and Lockhee doesn't care anymore. However, it was Huaxia who had the right to conscript troops against the Empire, and later in the war between Huaxia and the alien planet, these special administrative region defense forces served as the vanguard of the anxious, and many men of the Double Moon Star died on the alien battlefield, but these people thought that they died a glorious death.
"Ninth, in view of the backwardness of the empire, China will provide large-scale assistance to the empire, infrastructure construction, industrial construction, culture and education, etc."
Lockhee was completely stunned at this time, and the Huaxia people were sure that they were "invaders"? I have never seen an aggressor who will help the object of aggression, even if Lockhee agreed to Luo Yu's this. However, a few years later, he regretted it greatly, and saw that the people of Shuangyue were proud of speaking Chinese, living various traditional festivals in China, eating various Chinese foods, and everything in China was the most noble. The so-called infrastructure construction is nothing more than paving the roads and increasing the speed of troop transportation. As for industrial aid, it is mining, mining, and mining, an insidious stroke by the Chinese.
After Luo Yu finished speaking, he said: "Just these nine points, either accept them, or the war continues." ”
It is impossible to continue, the empire can no longer afford to spend it, civil strife has begun. Two of the seemingly unequal nine covenants were for the construction of the empire, and Lockhee didn't blink an eye, and even agreed to it. The next thing was a truce between the two sides, the abdication of Afez, and the change of power in Albert's accession to the throne, which needed to be carried out by returning to Vinya.

PS. The Galaxy Conquest Handbook is worthy of the word conquest, and the current alliance or vassal relationship is only a transitional stage, and it will definitely be annexed later, because this book is about the story of human conquest of the galaxy, not the story of human beings engaging in peaceful diplomacy and peaceful coexistence.
