However, for the overlord civilizations of the Meteorite Star Sea Civilization Circle, it is simply impossible to achieve it if they are like the Earth civilization and treat their subordinate civilizations relatively benevolently. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The formation of this kind of ruling order of brutal oppression is a solid structure formed by the contrast of deep cultural inertia, interest base, and long-term power game.
For each hegemonic civilization, maintaining a brutal oppression of subordinate civilizations is not only related to the extraction of huge profits, but also directly related to the stability of their ruling base.
For example, the Arroyo civilization, although as a major overlord of the meteorite star sea civilization circle, the Arroyo civilization can rely on its powerful faster-than-light spaceship production system to establish its own spaceship trade system and political and military alliance system, so as to maintain its interstellar supremacy.
However, due to the limited technological strength of itself and the limitation of the speed of the faster-than-light spaceship, the Arroyo civilization is not able to directly control the vast sea of stars, and his alliance system is not even something that he can fully manipulate and maintain, but needs to rely on one by one slave civilizations to sit in all star fields, and divide power layer by layer with the situation of agents, so as to build a sphere of influence covering one-third of the meteorite star seas.
For the Arroyo civilization, except for some star fields that he directly controls, the other star fields, the farther away from the starry sky under his control, the weaker his sense of existence is, and the more difficult it is for his control to penetrate into the hearts of the people.
In the Aryo civilization's sphere of influence, more than ninety-nine percent of the star fields are controlled by his many slave civilizations, and even the civilizations under the slave civilization, which is equivalent to the Arroyo civilization's sphere of influence, there are a large number of blind spots that are difficult for him to control and monitor.
In this case, the wider the sphere of influence of the Arroyo civilization, the more subordinate civilizations, and the longer the slave civilization exists, in fact, the more unstable the Arroyo civilization's power system is, and the more strength it will have that is not under his control.
Although even so, relying on the production capacity of the core faster-than-light spaceship in its own hands, the Arroyo civilization can still dominate the general order and existence foundation of the entire alliance, but the existence of other overlord-level civilizations, as well as the storage of spaceships in the hands of various forces, will essentially weaken the ruling authority of the Arroyo civilization.
For the Arroyo civilization, if he does not weaken the power of his subordinate civilization as much as possible through cruel exploitation, and weaken the stock of spaceships in the hands of the subordinate civilization forces, then his power base will be shaken more and more as the spaceships continue to be sold.
Once other civilizations have more spaceships in their hands, then they no longer need to be under his control anytime and anywhere, and even those civilizations with a large stock of spaceships can break away from his control and trade with each other to ensure the supply of their spaceships.
In this way, even though the Arroyo civilization still holds the source of the spaceship trade for a long time, for some civilizations, it is no longer necessary to look at the face of the Arroyo civilization, which is undoubtedly something that the Arroyo civilization cannot tolerate.
Therefore, for the Arrowo civilization, it is necessary to squeeze the subordinate civilizations as much as possible, and even let the subordinate civilizations transmit the pressure layer by layer, and keep the shortage of spaceship resources within their own sphere of influence as much as possible, so that he can maintain his power base, and he can maintain control of his own power system as much as possible through his spaceship tradeIt is a necessary means to stabilize order.
If your own civilization is not strong enough, and you do not have the ability and foundation of strong control, then the kindness to other civilizations will instead lay the root of the curse for your own civilization, and many local civilizations in the meteorite star sea are well aware of this, so under the upward and downward effects, each local civilization is within the allowable range, squeezing its own subordinate civilizations as much as possible.
But for the civilization of the earth, this fear of losing control of their subordinates is completely non-existent.
With the mass production of space-time jumping faster-than-light spaceships, as well as the increasing maturity and perfection of the wormhole channel system, the earth civilization has established a direct, The perfect control system, the surrounding star sea is under the direct control of the earth civilization, and the situation of each subordinate civilization is also under control, and the earth civilization has enough chips to effectively maintain the operation of the entire earth alliance, so under the premise of this strong control, the earth civilization naturally has enough strength and confidence, and can slightly relax the suppression of the subordinate civilization, so that they have a certain degree of room for growth.
Other civilizations are worried that if they are not careful, their subordinate civilizations will be full-fledged, and they will disobey themselves, which will lead to a decline in their control, but the earth civilization with advantages in all aspects does not need to worry about this at all, the earth civilization is not only directly controlling many core lifelines of many subordinate civilizations on the one hand, but also has an unpredictable influence on the subordinate civilizations, on the other hand, his strength advantage can radiate to various star fields within the scope of the Earth Alliance anytime and anywhere, and can be suppressed at any time, so the earth civilization naturally has the confidence to maintain its relative benevolence, loose alliance policy.
Under this relatively small exploitation but extremely tightly organized institutional arrangement and maintenance, the earth civilization seems to be relatively less profitable in the alliance system of the Earth Alliance, but in fact the situation is diametrically opposite, even in the same size of the star field, the earth civilization from the alliance is far more than the local civilization overlords.
After all, under the brutal oppression and exploitation system of the native civilization, various hegemon-level civilizations such as Arroyo seem to have seized most of the benefits and values and taken the greatest advantage, but in fact their gains are far less impressive than they seem.
Imagine that they are so poor that they can't even get full of military warships, they can only maintain their own low-consumption operations, and they have been brutally exploited and brutally consumed over the years, and they can't get any development at all.
This kind of policy that seems to maximize benefits, in fact, is just blocking the road of subordinate civilizations at the same time, but also blocking their own roads, the benefits are far from as much as imagined, on the contrary, the losses in all aspects are not small, those local powerful civilizations in the implementation of this policy at the same time, has fallen into the mood of quick success, has completely cut off the long-term development space.
On the contrary, the alliance policy implemented by the earth civilization quickly reaped fruitful results after giving many subordinate civilizations a certain space for benefit and development.
With the support of the loose policy of the earth civilization, the subordinate civilizations can purchase faster-than-light spaceships at a lower cost, and after meeting the security needs of the subordinate civilizations, more of these spaceships have entered the civilian field, which has greatly promoted the integration of forces within these subordinate civilizations, allowing these civilizations to better tap the potential within their respective civilizations and burst out with greater productivity.
In the vast market under the same alliance system, the growth of huge commercial space has further integrated the resources of various civilizations, promoted economic development and resource exchanges, and each civilization not only obtained its own needs in the transaction, but also developed a more huge spaceship market, with more and more spacecraft demand, which further expanded the market space of the earth's civilization.
In such a growing and evolving alliance system, although the tax rate is slightly lower, although the earth civilization cannot be like other local powerful civilizations, it can arbitrarily recruit the fleets and resources of subordinate civilizations, but in this larger, more abundant resources, and more powerful alliance, the human and material resources that the earth civilization can actually control are even greater.
Just like this time to send troops to the Carlo civilization, although the earth civilization cannot recruit fleets to participate in combat operations at will, but just in accordance with the terms of the alliance, within a reasonable range of mobilization of the alliance's power, the earth civilization can mobilize the power of more than 20 million faster-than-light ships in one go, such a mobilization ability, to be honest, is already quite remarkable, according to the proportion of the actual interstellar territory, the mobilization ability of the earth civilization is more powerful than that of the Arroyo civilization.
And if the Earth civilization has not implemented a relatively relaxed development policy for a long time, to be honest, whether the many civilizations under the Earth Alliance can add up to the number of nearly 30 million faster-than-light spaceships is a big question mark. According to the data records of the Earth Civilization, the number of faster-than-light ships they possessed before the many civilizations under the Earth Alliance did not join the Earth Alliance, in fact, was far from such a scale.
In recent years, the number of spaceships sold by the Earth civilization to many subordinate civilizations has been more than hundreds of times the number of ships that are now requisitioned.
And the reality now is that because of the stable order and relaxed environment of the Earth Alliance, as well as the preferential policies of the Earth Civilization to sell the old-fashioned faster-than-light spaceships to the subordinate civilizations in unlimited quantities, after hundreds of years of development, the strength of the entire Earth Alliance has already been unparalleled, with an extraordinary strength base, and every civilization under the Earth Alliance has increased its strength hundreds of times in just a few hundred years?
On the basis of such an alliance's strength, even if the earth civilization only requisitioned fleets within the normal range in accordance with the rules of the alliance, it quickly and calmly gathered such a fleet of more than 20 million ships, and even none of the subordinate civilizations dared to shirk it. Slack, all of them should pay for the money, and all the subordinate civilizations have been active and fast in the implementation of the alliance policy, and the requisition work has been completed far before the scheduled time is over, accelerating the speed of the expansion of the earth's civilization.
Compared with the subordinate civilizations under the strong exploitation of the native civilization, if you want to recruit some fleets, you have to engage in endless bargaining, and sometimes even use violent means, it is really completely two worlds, and the difference is too great!
It is precisely with the help of such a powerful alliance that the Earth Alliance has only carried out the final stage of preparations in less than five years since the official launch of the expansion war plan, and all relevant matters before the army is dispatched have been prepared.
At this time, a wormhole channel was finally completely opened, and after the wormhole channel was completely stabilized, the earth fleet first sent a small-scale reconnaissance fleet through the wormhole channel, and after detecting that everything was normal on the other side of the wormhole, and the Karo civilization knew nothing about the actions of the earth civilization, the reconnaissance fleet returned and sent back the news, and the time-space jump fleet finally took action, and one ship fish penetrated through the wormhole and came to the time and space where the Carlo civilization was located.
The exit of this wormhole is located near an important core star field of the Caro civilization, which is the largest industrial and commercial star field within the Caro civilization, and is surrounded by more than 60% of the main industrial bases, research institutes, etc. within the Caro civilization, which is worthy of the name where the engine of civilization is located, and the surrounding star field has more than 60% of the commercial planets of the Carlo civilization, which is the core window area of the Caro civilization's foreign trade.
The star field where the wormhole exit is located is about five light years away from the core industrial and commercial star field, which is far away from the security warning range of the industrial and commercial star field, and even the defense line of the interstellar security forces has abandoned this place, so it can be said that there is no security defense facility here.
This star field was originally a mineral development zone, the surrounding planets are extremely harsh, not suitable for life survival, even mineral development does not meet the standards, but around the asteroid belt, meteorite belt and other scattered interstellar material convergence belt, with the potential for mining development, the surrounding large and small meteorite stars, asteroids are everywhere covered with traces left after being mined and excavated.
