Listening to Xia Xiu's words, Villoch Zal, the representative of the Gith philosopher, did not fluctuate much, but a trace of indescribable complex emotions appeared in the amber pupils.

He lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about his words.

After a moment, he spoke calmly:

"Any race isolated by a city wall will one day forget what the other side of the wall looks like.

Time gradually fades their memories, and reality makes their cognition deviate.

The foreigners of Gis were born from the same origin as our guis philosophers. However, today, our culture, beliefs and ideas have long gone against each other.

We all want ‘unification’, but the problem is – we want them to return to reason, and they want us to surrender under the sword and the throne.”

The voice represented by the Gith philosopher is low and calm, as if he is stating an inevitable reality.

He looked at Xia Xiu and continued:

“We have never stopped conveying our ideas to the Gis foreigners. We hope that they will escape from Vlakis’ rule and return to a truly based society on wisdom and order, rather than being controlled by the necromancer by tyranny and fear.

However, as you said, "peaceful reunification" is just a self-deception in their eyes. We regard them as family members, but they regard us as enemies.

Under Vlakis' rule, the foreigners of Gith actually called us with insulting words when the Spirit Sucker Empire enslaved the Gith race - they didn't even know it was shameful!

The contradictions have become increasingly intensified, and peaceful reunification has become a delusion. The expectations of both races for the other have been exhausted due to the repeated intensification of the rulers. Moreover, the biggest problem of unification is…”

Villoch Zal looked at the Lord of the Courtyard and said:

“——Both want to achieve unity, but neither wants to be the party to be assimilated.”

Xia Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, tapped his fingers gently on the table, his eyes with a touch of meaningful playfulness. He took the words of the representative of the philosopher of Gith and sighed.

"Yes, so are the major human regimes in Terra..."

He put away the smile on his face, his tone became calm again, bringing the topic back to the topic:

"Before I propose cooperation, I have to open the skylight and speak out loud - the Kingdom of Heaven is indeed extremely exclusive, and you cannot not know this.

As a subordinate institution for secularization of the heavens, the courtyard is more tolerant in comparison due to secularization, but it still adheres to the core principles.

We are based on human supremacy, and this will not change.

In the ideal blueprint of heaven, the existence of non-human races is not unacceptable, but only if they must have strategic, economic or military value.”

Xia Xiu paused for a moment, his eyes slowly swept across Villoch Zal, and then said:

"And more importantly, they must accept the 'Qiming dictatorship system' formulated by the Administration."

The fingertips of the representative of the Gith Philosopher tightened slightly, and his palm fell on his knees. On the surface, the Gith Philosopher's usual calmness and restraint were still maintained. However, deep in his heart, a complex and intense thinking was quietly going on.

.

Although Xia Xiu's words were not threatening, the political meaning contained in them was as precise as a sharp knife to stab the most sensitive nerves of the Gith philosopher.

[Qiming Dictatorship System] - This political system founded by the Lord of the Courtyard has been studied countless times by the Gis philosopher's parliament.

The representative of the philosopher, Zar, recalled the political plan he collected in the secret network of the heavens and the Lord of the Courtyard.

Under this system, Hugh Abraham, the Lord of the Courtyard, was not just a ruler, but a true supreme ruler, an absolute tyrant who carried power with his crown.

The fundamental principle of [Qiming dictatorship system] is to use Hugh Abraham, Director of the Administration, as the only decision-making core, and all administrative, military and legal powers are all in one and not constrained by any parliamentary, religious or aristocratic system.

This not only means that the order of the plane is forced to be promoted by the will of the kingdom of heaven, but also means that all opposition voices will be quickly suppressed. Any form of separatism, independence tendency and political autonomy of non-human races are absolute taboos.

On the surface, this political system is extremely inclusive at the economic level.

In order to promote economic prosperity and stability in various planes, the Earthly Garden has implemented open market liberalization under the permission of the Kingdom of Heaven, and even allowed non-human races to enter the economic system and share resources, technology and markets with humans.

Yet, even so, the core principle of [human supremacy] is always unbreakable.

Under this system, non-human races can gain certain economic and social rights, but they will never have real political autonomy.

They must accept the relative management of the kingdom of heaven and recognize the dominance of angels. They only have the power to participate in politics and have no power to govern.

Even in some cases, tribes need to abandon some of their cultural traditions to adapt to the social order established by the kingdom of heaven.

“—Although humans have a dominant position in politics and military positions, other friendly races enjoy equal rights as humans in economic and social affairs.”

The official propaganda of the Administration has always emphasized this point, creating a fair and enlightened secular image of the heavens and all worlds.

[Qiming Dictatorship System], this is an extremely realistic system, an imperial system full of power calculations and macro-control.

The "equality" given by the kingdom of heaven has always been based on equality based on "obedience".

Villoch Zal knew very well that he could not make decisions for the Philosopher Council without authorization.

The position of the philosopher of Gith has always been to "be cautiously close to" the kingdom of heaven, rather than to completely surrender.

Their action was indeed with the attitude of kneeling down and licking the kingdom of heaven and the earthly courtyard, but this does not mean that they are completely unwarranted of angels.

There are many factions in the philosopher parliament that support the "eliminating the spiritual sucking empire with the help of the power of heaven and unifying the Gith race". However, at the same time, some members of the parliamentarians are worried that the Gith philosophers will eventually be included in their ruling system and completely

Deprive them of their autonomy.

——The tragedy of the foreigners of Gis is a living lesson.

The silence of the philosopher, Villoc Zaar, of the Gis philosopher, continued for several seconds, knowing that he could not show any hesitation or anxiety in front of the golden tyrant.

He slowly raised his head, his deep amber pupils contracted slightly, and finally, he maintained his usual respect and spoke slowly:

"We have heard of your hospital's system for a long time, and we are well aware of its stability and strength."

"However, our philosophers also cherish the thousand-year inheritance of our clan.

Any cooperation proposal needs to be balanced in the way our clan continues.”

His words are still full of caution, neither expressing clear rejection nor directly expressing surrender.

Instead, it uses "balance" as the core concept, implying that the Gis philosophers hope to maintain a certain degree of autonomy.

Villock Zal slightly adjusted his sitting position, as if he was eased his inner tension.

He thought secretly in his heart that the next words would determine the future direction of the philosopher of Gith, and the lord of the courtyard in front of him, the fourth sword-holder of the kingdom of heaven, was definitely not an existence that could be fooled at will.

The representative of this philosopher of Gith adjusted his demeanor and finally met the golden eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, with a solemn and respectful tone:

"Our philosopher Council is willing to use the power of the courtyard to recapture the foreigners of Gies and realize the true unity of our clan.

At the same time, we are willing to work with the courtyard to completely expel the threat of the Spirit Sucker Empire in the astral realm and clear the long-defiled territory."

He has expressed the vision of the philosopher:

They do not want to be just a bystander hiding in the corner of the astral world. They want to reshape the unification of the Gith race, and the courtyard is the fulcrum for leveraging history in their eyes.

As he finished speaking, his palm flipped slightly, and a shimmering light flashed, a piece of white paper appeared in his palm.

The texture of the paper is different from ordinary parchment paper, but it is more like a special medium processed by magic. Its surface has extremely subtle silver patterns, which appear faintly under the light of the astral world.

Villoch Zal respectfully handed the paper to Xia Xiu, his voice still calm and solemn:

"This is the covenant contract drawn up by our parliament."

Xia Xiu gently stroked the cover of the contract with his fingertips, feeling the imperceptible patterns on the surface of the paper. This is a standard human document material that has been specially processed, with a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy remaining on it, which is obviously in the Philosopher of the Gith Philosopher.

Prior to delivery, the contract had been carefully reviewed and confirmed countless times by them internally.

He slowly opened the first page, and the golden pupils quickly passed through the text, with scrutiny and speculation in his eyes.

The title of the contract is printed on the cover:

"Humans-Gis Philosopher's Country Agree"

Xia Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to look down. The long agreement can be summarized as follows:

First, Xuebang recognizes the culprit status of the courtyard and accepts the overall leadership of the courtyard, including science and technology, military, diplomacy and other fields. The courtyard will provide protection, while Xuebang needs to provide scientific and technological support to promote knowledge within the galaxy.

shared.

Second, the Philosopher of Gis needs to provide 85% of the research results to the courtyard unconditionally, and the courtyard has the right to obtain priority, and can also specify the direction of technical support and pay a certain technology transfer fee if necessary.

The courtyard can also set up a [Xuebang Research Center] to further deepen the cooperation between the two parties.

Third, the courtyard provides corrections as scientific research subsidies every year, and sends senior scientific researchers to support the research work of the Gis Philosopher.

Xuebang needs to open key facilities such as orbital research stations, high-energy experimental fields, dark matter analysis centers, etc. to ensure maximum research efficiency.

Fourth, Xuebang's fleet size was reduced by 50%, and "offensive military forces" were not allowed to be developed. Only a minimum self-defense force could be retained, and the construction of cruisers and battleships was prohibited. All large ship manufacturing must be approved by the courtyard.

In terms of defense, the courtyard promises to "establish military garrison fortresses" around Xuebang territory, deploy patrol fleets, and provide strategic support in emergencies.

Fifth, Xuebang must provide scientific and technological support when war breaks out, including weapon upgrades, shield improvements, ship optimization, war simulation data and other military scientific and technological support.

At the same time, they are not allowed to declare war alone, and all military operations must be approved by the courtyard.

Sixth, Xuebang must pay the scientific research results of the Ivy Science Tree to the courtyard every month, and the specific strategic resources of the heavens and all worlds are used as tributes. The courtyard promises to ensure the economic stability of Xuebang and provide it when Xuebang encounters a financial crisis or research stagnation.

Necessary assistance.

Seventh, Xuebang shall not sign military treaties or alliance agreements with any third-party empire, and all diplomatic decisions must be approved by the courtyard. However, they may cooperate with other vassals or scientific and technological forces in scientific research if the courtyard allows.

Eighth, the premise for signing the above treaty is: the foreigners of the Gis and the philosophers of the Gis were unified, and the Spirit Sucker Empire was defeated in the astral realm.

Ninth, the contract is valid for ten standard Terra years, and the contract will be automatically renewed after the expiration of the period unless either party proposes modification or termination.

If Xuebang's future scientific and technological development meets the standards of the courtyard, the two parties can negotiate and adjust the vassal relationship and even give Xuebang higher autonomy.
