Chapter 413 The Gears of History

Colonial Planet No. 35——New Shanxi.

Standing in front of the porthole, Li Longcheng looked faintly at the ruins of the destroyed colony outside the window - these were the traces of the first battle between humans and the Turians. Their colony was attacked by the Turians and occupied, and then

The Star Alliance fought back and recaptured the colonial planet from the Turians.

But now, it is still a dilapidated scene. The once vigorous reclamation and construction have completely disappeared. In order to escape those terrible alien invaders, most people have fled back to their home planet. Because of this

, the usually bustling colony has now become like a ghost town, and all this is due to an invasion, an attack from an alien race.

"Look here."

Li Longcheng pointed out the window.

"This is the humiliation brought to us by those barbarians, and we will never surrender."

"But that guy John doesn't think so."

Hearing what Li Longcheng said, an old man sitting next to him chuckled.

"They have long been accustomed to groveling, and they simply do not understand what a unified civilization needs. It is no wonder that since the disintegration of the Roman Empire, it has always been a chaotic battlefield."

Li Longcheng was not surprised by this. After all, this has always been the case in the West. When they want to integrate into a certain circle, any humiliation and loss are worth it. Just like a rich man who wants to become a decorated noble.

However, this is obviously completely different from his idea. However, for those white-skinned people, they obviously don't care about their own losses.

In fact, in the game, most of the criminals who attack the human border are criminals funded by the Batarians. Moreover, the Batarians actually hate humans, so their appearance here is not unexpected to Duanmuhuai.

.

However, persisting in the war also requires courage.

"Look, how stupid."

While a group of people were discussing, suddenly, a battleship emerged silently from the depths of the dark universe. It stopped at the edge of the planet, and then several transport planes emerged from it and headed towards the colonial base.

fly in the direction.

But once the war breaks out, the destruction of life is just around the corner.

Eclair was sweating profusely and didn't know how to refute. In the end, she chose to raise her hands and surrender.

"Uh...this..."

Duanmu Huai looked at the screen in front of him and curled his lips.

"Humanity is facing a powerful enemy, but they are still fighting among themselves?"

The dilapidated colonial base seemed unaware of the arrival of these transport planes. They saw these transport planes parked not far from the colonial base, and then the hatch opened, and then a group of alien aliens wearing space armor and holding weapons came out.

Come out. They have green skin, locust-like heads and four eyes.

This time, he came here not just for the past, but for the future.

A unified civilization has never been polite. Iron and blood are its fuel. Without the strength to resist external enemies, what is a prosperous world?

"This is not the same thing..."

Just like this time.

Because they are facing not only the Turians, but also the allied forces behind the Turians - the Citadel Council.

Is it worth it?

The Peacekeepers keep talking about the survival of mankind, but what is the survival of mankind?

Live like a beggar? Or die like a hero?

The only problem is those stupid bureaucrats who are no different from those in the Southern Song Dynasty... It depends on whether they can be saved this time.

"Batarian, well, that's not surprising."

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. He still knew the races of this alien alliance very well. In this alien alliance, Asari, Salarian and Turian are the "permanent members" and have the entire

The Alliance Council has the greatest power. Asari are good at resolving political disputes, Salarians are good at scientific research, and Turians are military experts.

Facing this invitation, the Lord Harmony Faction was ecstatic, but Li Longcheng looked gloomy. He knew very well that what the representatives of the Citadel Council brought was not mediation, but a threat - if the Star Alliance really wanted to reject the Citadel Council,

The proposal of the Fort Council means that they will completely break up with the huge force composed of more than a dozen alien races and start a war.

If they can't hurt each other, how can they respect humans?

The carrier-based aircraft landed firmly on the ground. Li Longcheng withdrew his gaze and stood up.

"Well……………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Eclair was speechless.

"Why must we start a war..."

"However, no matter how powerful this civilization is, it is impossible to defeat so many alien races."

But it's different for Li Longcheng. Although humans have formed a unified Star Alliance, there are still factional disputes internally. The battle between the Asian Alliance and NATO has never stopped. Now that the Asian Alliance's power is damaged, NATO

But if you want to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to power, politics... has always been a headache.

But on many issues, Li Longcheng felt that he was out of tune with his Western colleagues.

The Lord Harmony faction questioned Li Longcheng more than once.

Just a few days ago, the Citadel Council sent representatives to the Covenant. They showed humans a picture that was completely beyond their imagination - a coalition of more than a dozen powerful alien races in the vast galaxy.

, and they come here to mediate, and hope that the Star Alliance will also join it with humans as representatives.

New Shanxi is the territory of the Asian League to which Li Longcheng belongs, not the colonial planet of the Main Peace faction. Therefore, for those white guys, this is not their loss, so they don't feel bad about it. They may even celebrate secretly.

That's why they used the excuse of "for all mankind" to coerce the Asian Union into swallowing this tone, and even hoped that by taking this opportunity, the influence of the Asian Union would be greatly weakened.

An also raised her own questions. As a princess, although there is a huge difference in technological civilization, when it comes to politics, there won't be much change in a few thousand years.

Duanmu Huai stared at the screen silently. The second reason why he chose to intervene was that Duanmu Huai wanted to cooperate with this civilization. After all, both the Guardian civilization and the UNSC were too busy to take care of themselves before.

, On the contrary, the Star Alliance not only has advanced technology, but also has online military capabilities. If we can cooperate with them, the natural benefits will be much stronger than other civilizations.

The Turians attacked their fleet and their colony without warning. Li Longcheng, as a representative, insisted on going to war with them and beating them painfully. After all, the long history of their civilization had told Li Longcheng that in the face of the barbarians,

Invasion, there is no other way except to fight.

Is it worth starting a war for the sake of illusory dignity and letting human beings die in the war?

Is it worth it?

This question seemed very funny to Li Longcheng.

"That's right."

Of course, it's not that they don't understand this principle, and Li Longcheng also knows the reason why they don't do this.

The future of mankind.

However, the group of Western representatives did not think so. They did not value human dignity, but only the benefits. In their view, the war with aliens was an opportunity. They could use this platform to make the Star Alliance leap forward.

It has become one of the few forces that ranks among the best in the entire galaxy.

And all of this, of course, cannot escape Duanmuhuai's eyes.

"yes."

"Well, I was wrong."

Among other races, the most disliked ones are the Batarians. This is a race of cosmic rogues. When mentioning the Batarians, everyone’s first impression is that of criminals—well,

Only Wocha has a worse reputation than them.

"Indeed, it is unrealistic to completely eliminate it, especially judging from the current situation of this civilization. But the problem is that the opponent must be beaten painfully. Only in this way will they know that humans are not easy to mess with, and they are not you.

A yes man is what he says. In this regard, a firm attitude and a firm will are necessary.”

"That's the same thing. If you think about it carefully, other people's goal is only your body. If you resist, it will kill you, so you just need to lie still and let the other person enjoy it, right? Why do you want to do it?

Why risk your life with your meaningless dignity?"

However, Li Longcheng did not see it. Shortly after he entered the base, the fleet wandering outside the planet left quietly.

"Order the fleet to be on standby above."

"In order to tell others that you are not to be trifled with, it does not matter whether it is a country, a civilization or a person, or the next time someone harasses you, you should not fight back but clean yourself up and then take the initiative to show up at your door?

"

This is especially true since they finally abandoned the restrictions between countries and formed a unified human civilization star alliance after discovering extraterrestrial forces.

Without dignity, what value does a human being have in this universe? Are they just begging for a living?

Dignity is not free.

Eclair sighed helplessly, while Duanmuhuai glanced at her.

Li Longcheng nodded. As the representative of the main war faction of the Star Alliance, he has always been under a lot of pressure.

Of course it's worth it.

In their view, taking the initiative to show friendship can make these aliens have a good impression of humans and join the other party's camp. But in Li Longcheng's view, even if they want to negotiate peace, it must be the other party who asks for it.

Only in this way can we gain the initiative.

Duanmu Huai is even certain that behind this mission there must be the acquiescence and support of the representatives of the three major races on the Citadel Council. It is a pity that no one from the three major races came forward this time, otherwise he could seize this

, I want the three major races to bleed.

But Batarian...it's better than nothing.

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai packed up his belongings.

"Okay, everyone, let's go."
