Xiao Ran was originally in a very luxurious room on the ship, lying on his side on a soft sofa and taking a nap. After the people who reported the situation to him came in, Xiao Ran opened his eyes and sat up straight. But when the leader As soon as the person reported the situation, Xiao Ran's tired eyes suddenly became serious, completely covering up the fatigue.
Xiao Ran frowned slightly and asked without raising his head: "Are you sure it was the message sent by Zovok?"
"Yes." The young man who came to report said with a serious face and respect: "The generals are waiting for the adults to return. At the same time, Zovok hopes to have video communication with the adults. The generals have not made any clear instructions to Zovok for the time being. reply."
"Let's go." Xiao Ran stood up and walked directly out of the room. He left the battleship and headed to the White Star command room. On the way, he kept thinking about why Zovok suddenly requested peace talks. Is there any possibility in this? There might be some conspiracy or purpose.
It was too baffling for Zovok to contact the Earth Defense Force. It was so sudden. Not only the generals of the Earth Defense Force who were sitting in command of the White Star were unprepared, but even Xiao Ran did not expect Zovok to do such a move. After reaching an agreement with the rebel army, Ying Jing ended up swaying with the other party, and now he actually proposed peace to himself. No matter how he looked at it, Xiao Ran found it a bit baffling.
However, the current situation of the team that Zvok came to Earth is quite tragic. The first advance fleet was captured by all members, and the main force was directly shot by Char when they jumped. Without really overdoing it, several troops that went into battle at the same time were all wiped out, and a few commanders were captured.
Finally, there was the previous White Star War. The three-party war between the original species, the Earth Defense Force, and Zovok ended up being flanked by the Earth Defense Force and the original species. So many things happened one after another, but none of them were on the side of the winner, except Failure is failure, loss is loss. As a super power in the galaxy, it failed in every aspect when it faced the earth. I have no idea what the purpose of these guys is. It feels like they are here to repay the society and send warmth. The same.
Not only did Xiao Ran receive a fleet, but he also gave a lot of drone technology and the jumping equipment on the battleships. It was just like in the original plot that he came out to show his sense of existence. It didn't bring much threat to the earth at all.
The successive failures and losses may have left this Zovok fleet with not much combat power left. Coupled with the power shown by the Earth Defense Force, the power shown by Xiao Ran, the existence of the Burning Legion, Zovok's There is no possibility for the fleet to win at all. More importantly, the number of Zovok prisoners currently in the hands of the Earth Defense Force is really terrifying. Taking a comprehensive look at it, it is reasonable to make peace with the helpless choice.
When Xiao Ran entered the command room again, everyone in the command room turned to look at Xiao Ran who walked in. This atmosphere made Xiao Ran feel a little strange. Many people's faces showed excitement or excitement. His expression felt as if everyone in the command room was suddenly inflated, but when Xiao Ran walked into the command room, there was no communication going on.
Several generals walked up to Xiao Ran and immediately began to report: "Sir, the Zovok fleet sent us a request for peace, and also expressed the hope of having a face-to-face video communication with you. We have not given it for the time being because we need to ask for instructions. In response to any reply from the other party, the other party promised to contact us again in an hour.”
"Negotiation?" Xiao Ran sat in his seat and was silent for a while before shaking his head slightly: "Then what do you think?"
The general staff officer glanced at Xiao Ran and couldn't tell from Xiao Ran's expression what his current attitude towards peace talks was, so he said in an uncertain tone: "If we can negotiate peace, I don't think it would be the same for us. It’s a bad thing, but as long as Zvok sincerely negotiates for peace, I think we can accept it.”
"After all, all the information we have on Zovok clearly tells us that Zovok, as a large interstellar alliance at the river level in the universe, has a very powerful power in the entire galaxy, even if they are fighting for power internally and have many factions. , but if we really anger them, the earth today does not have the confidence to really resist such a force. Even if we have the force to fight against them, once a full-scale war really breaks out, even if we can win the final victory, then The result is not worth the loss.”
Xiao Ran nodded and looked at the others: "What about you, do you have the same opinion?"
Several of the Earth Defense Forces, who can be said to have the most power, looked at each other, and everyone nodded very rationally and clearly understood the interests: "Yes, based on our reasoning and discussion results, what the earth currently needs is We need to recuperate, and there are unknown enemies who are eyeing us. It would be very beneficial for us if we could win Zovok as our helpers. At least they won’t become helpers, but we can’t let them become real enemies. .”
But a general added: "However, Zovok's attack on the earth this time is unreasonable, and it also caused us a lot of losses. Your Excellency, you once said that we do not take the initiative to provoke anyone, but We will definitely not be afraid of anyone's provocation and war. In addition, in this fight with Zovok, we won the victory and forced the other party to actively seek peace. I think we can also let them win as winners. Compensate us for our losses.”
"I believe that among such powerful forces in the Milky Way, there must be a lot of technologies, materials, etc. that we urgently need. At the same time, we also need to learn more information and information about the Milky Way and the universe from them. It is helpful to make good friends with them. It is inevitable, but we must make friends with them as equals or victors."
After listening to what a few people said, Xiao Ran also nodded slightly. Xiao Ran on Zovok's side did not intend to offend the other party too severely from the beginning. Otherwise, dealing with those guys in Zovok would not just be as simple as taking prisoners. And to this day, he is still entertaining the captives with good food and drink, in order to one day make those captives a bargaining chip in negotiations with Zovok, thereby gaining more benefits here.
