Complex Situation

  Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the silent middle-aged man, and finally restrained his complicated emotions.

  Humans are such strange creatures. Even if something planned happens, it is still very difficult to truly accept it. People always expect things to develop in a better direction, but how can life be so easy and satisfying?

  After this meeting, the New Humanity Diplomatic Team was dispatched urgently. They made an impassioned speech at the Dyson Sphere Joint Meeting, violently condemning the "Rehemian" civilization and demanding that it immediately withdraw from the New Humanity Civilization's embassy. The final result was a failure.

  The vast majority of civilizations support it verbally, but have no actual actions at all. They are just watching with a cold eye.

  Ten days later, the leading diplomat Yang Fan stepped off the spacecraft. He touched his head and suddenly felt that talking to each other was actually very hard.

  Facing a bunch of aliens on the stage, he complained that his territory had been usurped. He first stated his inherent rights, and then cursed loudly. It was funny and aggrieved at the same time...

  What a big deal!

  "You failed, Lao Yang!"

  When Zhang Yuan saw him, he asked with a wry smile.

  "...It would be weird if you don't fail! How can you take back your own territory with just a few curse words! Do you think these interstellar civilizations are philanthropists? Doing interstellar charity?" Old Yang shook his head, "Generals are on the battlefield Don't rely on diplomats for things you can't get on the street."

  Immediately after the diplomats returned, all the senior officials gathered back in the large conference room of the Departure.

  "Let me talk about the current situation..." Old Yang cleared his throat and regained his composure, "Actually, our civilization is not the only one that has been oppressed."

  He gave a rough introduction to the political struggle between the three major forces. Six medium-sized forces began to form a new alliance, and some small forces were acting as backers...

  In this state, a complex set of interstellar rules is formed.

  "So each civilization is sending its own chess pieces, constantly testing and provoking. If two forces can't help but provoke and start a war, other civilizations will be able to benefit."

  "And the situation we are currently facing is exactly the same..."

  "Three months ago, a large transportation unit of a certain level-4 civilization was attacked by an anti-matter missile while transporting goods to the Dyson Sphere! Immediately afterwards, a level-4 civilization named Comoros was attacked by several parties... …"

  "Whether this kind of attack is true or false is difficult for us to tell. Maybe it's just a fabricated excuse..."

  "Two months ago, two senior generals of a certain civilization were assassinated during a meeting. One was alive, but the other was dead..."

  "As a result, these two civilizations had huge conflicts with each other, and they accused each other of launching this assassination."

  "We can only hear some rumors so far. What is the truth? We are all blind..."

  It's not that the diplomats are incompetent, it's that there is no channel to investigate this information. Launching a spy satellite? Or implant codes into alien systems? What a joke!

  People can only go to the joint meeting to roughly understand what happened to these civilizations.

  "Fortunately, we don't have many interactions with the outside world and we haven't been involved in various disputes."

  Zhang Yuan was sweating profusely as he listened. The situation in this ghost place was so complicated... Every step he took was like walking on thin ice!

  The troubles humans encounter are just small troubles!

  After understanding the basic situation, everyone started the second phase of the agenda.

  Captain Feng cleared his throat and said first: "...First of all, a simple judgment. Regarding the Rehemian civilization, occupying part of our territory is actually a test of mankind by the forces behind it."

  "Unfortunately, we don't even know who is provoking us."

  "This kind of temptation will become more and more severe, until it completely takes over our land."

  "The other party believes that if we want to get involved in this Dyson ball, there is a high probability that we will not give up our interests in this area. If there are other hidden forces behind us, they may jump out at this moment..."

  "So, the previous judgment is basically correct."

  Li Zhendong suddenly said: "How about we simply declare that we will give up this piece of Dyson Sphere territory! Let the civilizations who want to get involved in this piece of territory fight dog-eat-dog?"

  Zhang Yuan shook his head: "The success rate is very low! It is obviously impossible for us to give up this land at this time. Aliens are not fools. They are targeting us humans, not other civilizations."

  "Being the first to swallow these small fish is the consensus among the big chess players."

  "...and an extra piece of Dyson Sphere land is not of much use to them. Our piece of land is isolated and there are no special buildings around it, so it is of no use. The probability of dog-eating dogs is very low."

  "On the other hand, if we issue this statement, maybe the Rehemian civilization will occupy all the territory immediately."

  "When the time comes, there won't even be any reason to condemn the other party... We gave up on our own, so how can we condemn it? Now it's not bad to just curse a few times!"

  What Zhang Yuan said is indeed reasonable. There are no functional buildings in the territory of New Humanity, and their strategic value is limited.

  Diplomat Lao Yang sighed and added: "However, during the brief contact, some civilizations are trying to win over us. For example, the Ramblers Alliance next door has also been negotiating with us for a while. They hope to Win us over."

  Captain Feng asked: "How do you say that?"

  "Start with technological exchanges to increase mutual trust, and then expand the exchanges...The basic process is like this."

  "As long as we're willing to spend a little money, some amoeba points or technology they don't have. They'll help us speak up and get these territories back."

  The "Ramblers" are a very powerful political force that cannot be ignored. The captain's lady frowned, trying to determine whether there was a bigger trap behind these conditions of "Rambler".

  Lao Yang spread his hands and said: "According to our current situation, do we need to use this Ramblers Alliance to make mistakes for a while?"

  "If we don't take any action, within two months, the territory above the Dyson Sphere will be enclosed by other civilizations. In a year or two, this starry sky may be in chaos. First, some neutral The young chess players were pushed out..."

  "Or the outbreak of a proxy war, these are all possibilities."

  Zhang Yuan looked at the information on hand. Don't look at the starry sky which is still very peaceful. In fact, according to the current situation, the proxy war has already begun.

  The big forces will not fight directly with each other. Instead, the small chess pieces will argue fiercely, and various conflicts will continue.

  "What's the current situation..."

  First of all, he still doesn't think that expanding communication with the surrounding Ramblers Alliance is a good thing.

  Thinking from the most malicious perspective, people don't know if the Rehemian civilization that has occupied human land is a pawn of the "Rambler"!

  What if the other party sent the Rehemian civilization to occupy it, and humans foolishly jumped into the trap? They were asking for trouble, and were sold by others and helped the other party count the money!

  "Ahem...it's not impossible."

  Secondly, the so-called technological exchanges are actually nothing to exchange, because "Rambler" is a very old and powerful level 4 interstellar civilization, and has already begun to explore the technology of level 5 civilization.

  In addition to magnetic field perception, what else can humans covet?

  Yes, the other side is stronger than the new human civilization in all aspects, including military, technology, population, etc.

  Could it be that the other party will give away technology to humans in vain so that humans can  take advantage of it? Of course it's impossible!

  Why do they form gangs here to seize the Dyson sphere? On the one hand, it is because the Dyson sphere produces a large amount of antimatter energy. On the other hand, it is probably the practice of "cosmic governance"!
