As always, Yang Tianyi took the space shuttle independently developed and manufactured by Qunxing Group and arrived at the orbital spaceport of the People's Federation, preparing to interview Lieutenant General Anya on some matters.
He is not one of those mediocre people who will be deceived by the media. Since he has reliable sources that can obtain first-hand information, he certainly will not trust those media from various countries who make irresponsible remarks on the screen.
In particular, reporters from the Huanyu Group added fuel to the fire and released unrealistic news such as that the Chinese Federation of Human Rights tortured prisoners of war and built a large crematorium on Tianxi Star to destroy evidence.
Although the real purpose behind it is still unclear, judging from past experience, the World Group just likes to stir up conflicts between countries, because in this way they can make profits from it. Thinking about it this time, it’s just a change of soup without changing the medicine. Even if the war broke out between the two parties, it was not the Qin Empire and the Human Federation, but they would have done the same to any civilized empire in the galaxy.
However, these false news did keep the Federation busy for a while. In order to prove that the various theaters did not abuse imperial prisoners of war, they even had to deliberately slow down the military operations to clear out the remaining enemies on Tianxi Star, allowing all countries to Diplomatic corps and war reporters came to conduct so-called "investigation and evidence collection."
The final result, of course, ended with the investigators returning in anger, but these actions that indirectly caused losses to Human League still angered many federal senior officials.
Army Lieutenant General Wolfgang, who temporarily served as the colonial governor of Tianxi Star, slapped his pistol on the table in front of the media, claiming that sooner or later he would have a "hydrogen cut" with those villains who had ruined the reputation of the federal army. Uranium is good” face-to-face communication.
"But it's all over. The Federation Army destroyed the Empire's last fortress on the Sunset Star a few hours ago, and the Navy controlled all strategic hyperspace lanes in the disputed star belt.
"Finally, we won the battle to found our country!"
After sharing some confidential information with Yang Tianyi that only insiders had permission to know, Lieutenant General Anya laughed heartily for the first time in a long time.
With the Empire's military presence in the star domain bordering both sides being completely eliminated, this meant that the Federation had completely taken the initiative in the war. Regardless of whether the other party accepts the terms of the peace treaty, the military will have enough confidence to defend the enemy from outside the country in the next war that may come at any time.
"The mercenary group you provided played a very important role in the general offensive. Without them to look after the flanks and rear of the assault corps at the forefront and maintain the smooth flow of supply lines, the army would not have been able to formulate such a radical but effective operation. plan."
After receiving the thanks from Vice Admiral Anya on behalf of the navy, Yang Tianyi waved his hand and smiled and said that the future of the Star Group has been intertwined with the People's Federation, and the in-depth cooperation between the two parties in economy, scientific research and military has gone far beyond The level that ordinary partners should have, and the group has always been very sincere in treating its friends.
Moreover, it is not that the People's Federation did not pay for these 500,000 Z-1 robots and thousands of manta ray quadruped robots. The group also made huge profits from this employment business.
Due to the favorable conditions provided by the Federation Army, after the war, the group will not recycle the robot legions currently serving on Tianxi Star, but will directly sell them to the Tianxi Star Colonial Garrison at a price slightly lower than the market price. Help the weak garrison strengthen its defense lines in case of emergencies.
After all, it would be too costly for the group to pack and ship such a large amount of war resources and transport them away from Tianxi Star. A sure-fire deal.
After talking about the mercenary group, Yang Tianyi looked through the peace treaty document handed to him by Lieutenant General Anya. After thinking about it, he said with some surprise: "To be honest, Lieutenant General, I thought your conditions would be better than this." The peace treaty is much more stringent.”
He was afraid that he would make a joke by omitting something, so after he finished speaking, Yang Tianyi read the entire peace treaty carefully again, and only then was he sure that he had not missed any key terms.
"As the victorious party, the Federation does not seem to have a strong desire to claim the spoils of war. If this peace treaty is finally implemented, even if the Empire agrees to all your demands, in my opinion, it will only be enough to make up for the Federation's losses. It’s just the army’s losses in the war.”
Until now, Yang Tianyi did not think that his interpretation of the terms of the peace treaty was exaggerated. The People's Federation's tolerant attitude towards the defeated was indeed beyond his expectation.
According to the peace treaty, the sovereignty of Tianxi Star undoubtedly belongs to the Federation of Humanity, and before the Federation opens the route to the outside world from the system where the planet is located, the Qin Empire is not allowed to interfere in any form with this tropical planet that has nothing to do with them anymore. planet.
The rest of the peace treaty is based on this principle. If the Qien Empire is unconvinced and wants to start another war for Tianxixing, the Federation will accompany it to the end.
Next is the issue of the disposal of prisoners of war that both sides are more concerned about.
According to statistics from the Federation Army, there are currently more than 7 million prisoners held in more than ten large prisoner of war camps on Tianxi Star. In these camps, which are comparable in size to small cities, riots occur almost every day. The method of suppressing ordinary prisoners of war has no obvious effect on the Qien people, but it can easily arouse their rebellious psychology.
Therefore, in order not to waste the naturally strong physique of Qian soldiers and weaken their will to resist, the federal mining agency will supervise the prisoners of war with the assistance of the army, and conduct research on Besserian stone, which has the most abundant reserves outside the surface of the planet. Mineral veins are mined intensively.
It is expected that in one month, the prisoner-of-war camps built around the ore veins will be able to provide the United Energy Agency with tens of millions of tons of unrefined Besserian ore. At that time, these purple-black ores will be a good choice whether they are directly used for thermal power generation or refined and used as spacecraft fuel.
For many underdeveloped civilized empires in the galaxy, purchasing the raw materials and spacecraft fuel required for these "primitive nuclear fusion" from the Human Alliance at relatively low prices is a wiser choice than working hard on their own.
It is foreseeable that the People's Federation will establish stable trade relations with some neighboring countries by exporting cheap Bessarian stone ore and fuel. Perhaps the price of Bessarian stone in the pan-galactic market will also have a rise as a result. Huge turmoil.
After all, for those interstellar consortiums that only have small mines in their hands, the Human Federation is by no means a competitor that they could solve with force in the past. If they don't want to be squeezed out of the market, they have no other choice but to be forced into a price war with Renlian.
However, the People's Federation cannot always use prisoners of war as miners. This will not only have a negative impact on the peace that the two sides have finally reached, but the public opinion in the Star Ocean Community will also make federal diplomats breathless.
Therefore, in the terms of the peace treaty regarding prisoners of war, the federal government clearly stated that it would release prisoners of war in batches according to the needs of the Qin Empire. The priority was arranged in the order of nobles, officers, inner ring soldiers, middle ring soldiers, and outer ring soldiers.
After realizing the true intention of the clause, Yang Tianyi couldn't help but secretly thought.
Although the top federal officials have explicitly agreed to return all prisoners of war within ten years, for the Qien people whose life span is not much different from that of humans, ten years is not a negligible number.
In these ten years, countless Qian families who are waiting at home for the return of their husbands, fathers and sons will witness the hopeless decay of the empire through the return of prisoners of war.
In the best case scenario, the inner, middle and outer three-ring empire system that has been carefully maintained for hundreds of years by the Sazhar royal family and the inner ring princes will be largely disintegrated by the conspiracy of the People's Alliance. Even if the people don't rise up, they will definitely be disappointed with the current situation of the empire.
When irreconcilable conflicts break out between the People's Federation and the Empire again, the war potential of the Outer Rim will be destructively weakened. Even the small half of the Outer Rim Star Territory close to the Federation of People will directly defect to join the Federation. The Qien people on various colonial planets who have awakened their consciousness of resistance will fight for their families and the future of the empire!
The third point, and the last noteworthy major clause in the peace treaty, is the ownership of the disputed star belt and the Cross Nebula.
In the disputed star belt that stretches for hundreds of light-years, although both countries only have many mining or scientific research space stations deployed on the side close to their own borders, after this battle, the Federation will officially send a fleet into the disputed star belt. Daily cruises are carried out in the depths. Their tasks include surveying planets with mining and research value, mapping more detailed star maps, etc.
These dangerous actions were something that the People's Federation could not do before the two sides could decide the outcome. Now with the victory of the war and the shrinkage of the empire's sphere of influence, the controversial star belt development plan personally planned by Marshal Beauclair was finally no longer needed. Continue to stop at the planning stage.
As for the Cross Nebula, the situation is quite special. Federation leaders consider that with their current technology, they are still unable to effectively detect the interior of the mysterious nebula on a large scale. Even if the outposts are fully built, they cannot ensure that the empire does not reach out to the interior of the nebula. Therefore, the Federation's final division of Nebula seemed relatively loose and did not impose too many restrictions on the Empire.
Lieutenant General Anya saw that Yang Tianyi had almost digested the contents of the peace treaty, so she smiled and said that the Federation originally planned to ask for a war compensation from the Empire, but the Generalissimo rejected this suggestion on the grounds that the Empire's power had not been weakened too much. .
As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are anxious. As the Iron-Blooded Generalissimo who has managed the Federation for decades and whose status has never wavered, Sidney Beauclair knows that the Human Federation cannot accomplish all its achievements in one battle.
The greatest significance of the Battle of Tianxi Star is not that the Federation defeated the Empire and demonstrated their powerful force to the entire galaxy, but that it bought precious time for the development of the Federation. Considering this premise, it is best not to be too harsh in the peace treaty, otherwise it will help the empire win people's hearts.
Is it better for the Federation to be a feudal slave empire with three rings of separation and scattered hearts, or is it better to be a Star Empire with one heart and one soul and vowing revenge? The Grand Marshal is not the only one in the People's Alliance who knows the answer to this question.
Putting down the paper version of the peace treaty in his hand, Yang Tianyi expressed his gratitude to the People's Alliance Navy for their strong cooperation during Jatu's evacuation.
When the People's Federation Army advanced the front line to the third line of defense, shortly after Count Cerdi committed suicide, Jia Tu found Yang Tianyi, hoping that the group could give certain support to the Fiery Star Slave Capture Group, which was about to evacuate on a troop transport spaceship. Help, otherwise they would never be able to return to the empire alive except as human prisoners of war.
After learning that the Federation Army was making such rapid progress, Yang Tianyi immediately contacted Lieutenant General Anya. The other party also realized that the People's Federation would probably need the secrets deployed by the Star Group within the empire in the future.
So under her mediation, the Human Fleet responsible for blocking the star system where Tianxi Star was located finally reluctantly agreed to the group's request, and accompanied Jia Tu to put on a good show in front of the Central Inner Ring Army troop transport ship that was evacuating together.
As a fee for their friendly appearance, the People's Alliance Fleet destroyed more than a dozen poorly protected troop transports and wiped out tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers from various planets in the Central Ring in space, including a small transport ship from the Blazing Star Slave Capture Corps. warships and thousands of members.
But even so, Yang Tianyi will not deny the help they provided in Jia Tu's safe return to the country. He can only say that the soldiers on the spaceship were unlucky. Even if they got the friend-or-enemy identification code secretly given by Jia Tu, they could not escape. The People's Alliance Navy intensively intercepted artillery fire.
After chatting about business, Lieutenant General Anya suddenly looked Yang Tianyi up and down with curious eyes, and said jokingly: "Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you on becoming a psychic potential! I just don't know if you can tell what I'm thinking now. What?"
Yang Tianyi was not surprised when he was exposed. He just shrugged his shoulders and complimented subtly: "My mind-reading ability is probably the weakest in the submersible body. I can't see through Anya, a master who is good at mobilizing emotions. .”
Looking at the half-smiling expression on the other person's face, he secretly thought that it was indeed not easy for anyone to become a civilized empire. It is estimated that the moment he entered the orbital airport, someone or an instrument recognized that he was a psychic potential.
Lieutenant General Anya nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, obviously very impressed by Yang Tianyi's impeccable answer.
After staring into those dark eyes and thinking for a while, she slowly said: "There are many young people who have awakened their psychic potential within the Federation, so I probably know some of the special abilities of the subs, and accept them. I have received relevant training. But I don’t know much about the field that only psychics can set foot in. I wonder if Mr. Yang has ever heard of the ‘Sea of Consciousness’?”
Yang Tianyi nodded, saying that he had heard the name "Sea of Consciousness" from the business envoys of the Yongdalim Destiny Empire.
It is a holy place for spiritual practitioners from all over the galaxy. Countless psychic potentials who came from all major empires to make pilgrimages awakened their own psychic powers in the purple-red ocean and soared into the sky.
"So you know it too. In that case, I'll tell you straight away."
Lieutenant General Anya took a document from the adjutant's hand and showed it in front of Yang Tianyi.
The content in the document is not complicated. It is that the Grand Marshal requested that the Tauren Assault Fleet detach part of the warships to join the Federation Expeditionary Fleet that will arrive in Fenhabenis for supplies in a few months to supplement the escort force.
As for the cargo that this expedition fleet is responsible for escorting, they are thousands of federal psychic submersibles who have completed an awakening.
Obviously, neither the Generalissimo himself nor the top leaders of the Federation are opposed to forming a combat force composed of psykers, and are even very interested. Therefore, a naval fleet was specially dispatched to escort these young people with great potential to the "Sea of Consciousness" to complete their second awakening.
The meaning of Lieutenant General Anya showing this document to Yang Tianyi could not be more obvious.
If the other party wants to become a true psyker, the journey to the Sea of Consciousness is not only long but also full of unpredictable dangers. If there is protection from the Federation fleet on the way, this pilgrimage will be much easier.
After lowering his head and considering the lieutenant general's proposal, Yang Tianyi smiled slightly and accepted the kindness that represented the friendship between the two parties.
"Although the fleet escorting the submarine is still some time away from setting off, if you have anything that you have to deal with personally, I suggest that the sooner the better, otherwise the escort fleet will not stop because of one person."
After nodding to show that he was not an unreasonable person, Yang Tianyi straightened the collar of his suit, glanced at the camera in the corner of the room, stood up from the sofa and quickly left the lieutenant general's office.
A few minutes later, a blond girl in military uniform walked in, saluted Anya and said loudly.
"Navy Captain Elizabeth Woodville reporting to you!"
After a moment, she frowned slightly, twitched her small nose and said, "You shouldn't be alone in the same room with that guy. He is a very dangerous person. If something happens, I can't get out of the monitoring room." Came here to protect you in an instant."
As if seeing the girl's confusion, Lieutenant General Anya smiled and asked her to sit where Yang Tianyi had just sat, and explained amiably: "Elizabeth, you just left the United Star not long ago, so you still have no respect for this Federation partner. I don’t know, but I believe you will become very good friends in the future.”
"With him? Absolutely impossible!"
Lifting her delicate chin slightly, Elizabeth played with a strand of soft blond hair wrapped around her fingertips. The way she was relaxing on the sofa made her look confident.
"A tiger will never be friends with a jackal! Even with the surveillance video, I can see that he is not the kind of peaceful person. You don't have to say good things for him. What kind of person is he? Even if I am just a A psychic lurker can also feel it clearly!"
