Speaking of this, Gong Yun paused and looked at Qin Yao with a twinkling expression.
What's wrong? Why are you staring at me? Qin Yao was very puzzled and didn't understand why Gong Yun suddenly stared at him as he spoke.
Yao'er, have you ever thought about subduing the enemy's army without fighting? To conquer them economically without force? Gong Yun prompted.
Through the economy? Qin Yao asked in a daze, he really hadn't thought about this question.
You see, these alien bases didn't resist when we captured their surrounding territories, right? But why? Not to mention that ancient humans once ruled the entire planet, that was all a long time ago.
For now, this planet has been dominated by them for hundreds of years, and there is no reason to be so tolerant to a declining indigenous civilization that has just emerged. They are fully capable of confronting us, or even annihilating us, but they do not, and have not even fought a decent war with us. Take the Suokumo civilization as an example. Last time, our experimental attack directly destroyed the dimensional world they relied on for survival, and it also affected several Enming bases.
But they all chose to be patient. Except for the mechanical civilization, all biological civilizations almost didn't respond at all. Isn't it strange that they chose to suffer such a huge loss at the same time?
Although the Kingdom of Hope has never stopped fighting, it has always been fighting mutant beasts. It has never had a head-on confrontation with any foreign civilization. Even this time the mechanical civilization escaped from the battle. There must be something wrong with it. Gong Yun explained.
I am also confused about this. Qin Yao nodded. According to the cute sister, the survival structure in the universe is that the big fish eats the small fish. So with so many alien civilizations stationed on the earth, why hasn’t humankind become extinct for hundreds of years?
Peace is established in a state of roughly equal force values, and only at this level can communication be achieved. If our level is enough now, what about before? They only occasionally bully humans, but they do not exterminate humans. Why is this?
Gong Yun nodded. This is indeed something that needs attention. No matter why, there must be a reason. It is okay to bully each other, but it cannot be exterminated. Take the Black Sea side, they are actually on the verge of extinction. It would be easy for an alien base to destroy them, but they have not done so, as if they have been forcing us to go there.
So you think there is a problem here, whoever breaks this pattern first will have unpredictable things happen? Qin Yao asked thoughtfully.
It's very possible, Gong Yun nodded.
But how can the master and Xiaohong explain this information for us now? Aren't they suggesting that we start a war? Qin Yao asked.
This is even more strange. They have been silent and contented for so many years. It is unusual for them to be so active this time. Yao'er, even if we are all experimental subjects, we should take our own precautions and not be affected too much. Gong Yun pointedly reminded.
Well, how about we try the attitude of each base? They must know that you are back and should take action. If they ask for trade, we will agree to it, but the transaction model must be carefully considered. Qin Yao said.
This is of course, but the war is not impossible. After all, these bases may not give us high-end technology, and the things they trade must also be low-tech things.
If we don’t have so much time to rely on our own research and development, we can try the strategy of attacking from far away and close friends. We don’t want to use our unprovoked massacre as an excuse when the alien master civilization arrives on a large scale. These alien bases in the Land of Hope have actually agreed with our expansion. In other words, they have chosen to compromise. At this time, attacking them would be untrue.
Although there is nothing benevolent and righteous between different civilizations, we cannot do things too badly. We just follow this rule. If they compromise, we will give them a chance. Let them live safely in the territory. If we want the technology, we can get it elsewhere. We won’t break this pattern, at least not until we figure it out. Gong Yun explained.
Okay, my husband really didn’t expect that you have made a lot of progress in the Black Sea over the years and have plans. Qin Yao praised.
Planning doesn't count. I just think that fighting at home may not be a good thing. Since we didn't choose to go to war with them directly and got to this point, we should try to maintain it as much as possible. This will also be very beneficial to our future wars. After all, our goal is to grab technology. Before there is a real force to compete with alien civilization, it is best not to completely break up with any civilization and leave no room for relaxation. Gong Yun smiled.
What happens next? If we want to achieve rapid technological development, war and plunder are the only way. Qin Yao asked.
When we are stable, we will naturally want war. Without war, there will be no development. We can be flexible and start wars, but we should not fight to the death with any base. We need technology. If we only need one, we will stop fighting if it is given. They want to preserve themselves, we want to develop, and both sides leave some room for the other. Gong Yun smiled.
Then let's use the disaster they caused to ancient humans as an excuse to attack them and ask for compensation with their technology. Qin Yao smiled knowingly.
This can only be used as a backup plan in case someone wants to fight with us. In short, I will go when the time comes. Don't start a war without authorization, and don't be influenced. Gong Yun reminded.
snort! After all, are you waiting for me here? I still blame me for starting a war with mechanical civilization without your consent, right? That was passed unanimously, not just by me. Qin Yao said aggrievedly.
Who are you trying to fool? Who will oppose you if I'm not here? If you don’t tell me, who would know that it’s your own attention? Who knew you hadn't discussed this with me? Gong Yun curled his lips and asked lightly without any intention of blaming.
As expected, Qin Yao stopped talking, obviously taking advantage of this. Without Gong Yun, she was the supreme commander in the country of hope. No one would question whether she had discussed her decision with Gong Yun.
It doesn't matter. I believe the decisions you make are well-founded. You're not the kind of person who doesn't consider the consequences, right? I just say that the strategic direction is better for the three of us to decide together. If we really fight against mechanical civilization this time, even if we defeat the Country of Hope, the losses will definitely not be small.
I think you must have weighed this point, but in order to develop, you still have to take certain risks, so your direction is right and your decision is not wrong. It's just that our directions are different.
For us, development is the first priority right now. We can reduce losses if we can. As for the possible risks that these civilizations may cause to us internally, we can only be careful to prevent them at the moment. If we are absolutely sure in the future, we can eliminate them in one fell swoop. It may not be impossible to do. Gong Yun said with relief.
