Peace came so suddenly that no one was even the slightest bit prepared for it, and the Atlanteans and the Republic signed a peace agreement on Earth in the presence of the Shang people.

To tell the truth, from top to bottom of the republic, whether it is ordinary people or high-level state leaders, they have not pinned peace on a few words on paper, this thing is just a psychological comfort, something that can be destroyed in one sentence is just a formality.

The sober understanding from top to bottom has enabled the several major fleets that have just completed the reorganization to clearly understand their own position, and not only have there been no signs of swords and guns entering Kuma to release Nanshan, but on the contrary, they have stepped up their running-in fleets and are ready to enter the next war at any time.

Peace is the greatest praise for soldiers, but only peace achieved with life and blood is real peace, and now?

Although humanity has some powerful new weapons, it lacks a sufficient population, a powerful fleet, and more importantly, a lack of understanding of this dangerous universe!

Looking at Atlantis on the other hand, although the huge star country is divided, the foundation still exists, and the overall strength far exceeds that of humans, and the chaotic situation after the division has made every star field belonging to Asia have full strength and military force, except for a very few barren star fields, the number of warships in most subhuman star fields can exceed that of the Republic.

And war is the best catalyst, if a large-scale war breaks out between the various star fields of the subhumans, then soon a large number of new weapons and new tactics will emerge in the subhuman world, and the consumption of resources will also reach a new height.

The war is fought for resources, and the probability of the star field involved in the war hitting the head of the republic is 100%.

But the interior of the Atlanteans is no longer monolithic. Thousands of years ago, the ancestors all understood the principle of linking horizontals and verticals, and the people who inherited the wisdom of the ancestors could completely take advantage of the contradictions between the various star fields of the subhumans to fight against hostile forces.

There are also uninvited Shang people, nominally the Shang people accompany the Asians to testify, but in fact?

Shortly after the Shang people arrived in the solar system, the energy fluctuations of the negotiator Tong Guò portal were accurately detected by them, thus locating the location of the solar system portal.

In the subsequent negotiations, the Shang people constantly persuaded the Asian representatives and the negotiators of the republic to resolve the focus of the conflict between the two sides. There was no effort from the Shang clan. Although the negotiations between the sub-people and the republic will not be terminated, it will certainly be a little bit to say that it will drag on for ten days and half a month.

After the formal negotiations between the two sides began, the Shang people also played an important role, and they participated in the peace negotiations between the two sides like a catalyst.

They never mentioned the attack on the Shang clan by the Seed Source. But secretly constantly through various channels to learn about the human condition. When a peace agreement is reached. The Shang clan immediately signed a free trade agreement with the human race.

This commercial agreement was completely overshadowed by the glow of the peace agreement, but for the top of the republic, the commercial agreement was more important than the peace agreement!

It's not that the top of the republic doesn't value peace. Rather, the peace agreement itself is built on the basis of the unequal power of the two sides, and is essentially a castle in the air.

This is not the case with commercial agreements, which on the surface are the basis for trade between the two sides, but the very word free trade means a huge crisis.

Although the Republic has some advanced technology, these technologies were developed in war, and they are not numerous and all are of strategic importance, and the military does not allow and cannot sell these military technologies to the Shang clan.

And what about the Shang people? With a huge star field and goods from all sides of the Seven Clans Alliance, both the quantity and quality of goods far surpass those of the Republic.

Once the two sides carry out real free trade, the goods from the Shang clan will flood the republic and even the entire human world, and it will not be long before the human world will become a dumping ground for the commodities of the Shang clan, and the original industrial system of mankind will be dealt a fatal blow.

At that time, the economic system of mankind will be in the hands of the Shang people, and without spending a single soldier, they will be able to completely control the human world and complete the goal that the division of subhuman countries has not been able to accomplish.

After all, the Shang clan is not a simple businessman, they are just more diverse than the means of the Ya people, and only if they have a problem with their nerves, they will regard them as businessmen who are not profitable and cannot afford to be early, and are only born for profit.

Fortunately, whether it is economic invasion or peaceful evolution, it is something that human beings have played for hundreds of years, and the top level of the republic is very vigilant about this.

It is precisely because of the sober understanding of the high-level that when the Shang clan proposed to open a few more galaxies as trade ports, the negotiators adhered to the bottom line and only agreed to open the earth as the only trade port of the republic.

Just kidding, with the Yunzhou Star, there are only four galaxies in the hands of the Republic, and they are all open, don't you take the initiative to open your own backyard for outsiders to enter casually?

The Shang clan was also fully prepared for this, and after several failed efforts, they retreated to the second place, not only striving for more favorable terms in other aspects, but also testing the fact that human beings are indeed a small race.

The Shang clan has long known the details of the human race from the sub-people, but the information obtained from indirect channels must always be discounted, and the accuracy of the rumors must be confirmed.

Although the contact time between the provenance and the Shang clan was very short, the combat effectiveness of the provenance left a deep impression on the Shang clan, and a single ship dared to disguise itself as a subhuman to blend into the Shang clan's galaxy, and the daring adventure of the provenance made the Shang clan mistakenly believe that human beings were a powerful interstellar race, rather than a small race that only owned a few planets and had just entered the interstellar era.

It wasn't until the Shang clan entered Atlantis that they learned from the Yaren about the course of several major wars between the two sides, and they had a certain idea of the military strength of the republic.

The Shang clan originally planned to pull the human race into the Seven Clans Alliance and become another member of the science and technology faction, completely overpowering the biological faction. However, even if an interstellar civilization with a shallow foundation has a powerful fleet, it cannot change the fact that they belong to a low-level interstellar civilization.

So the Shang clan immediately changed their original intentions and pulled humans into the Seven Clans Alliance, changing it to completely control the human world!

Unlike the Subhumans, the Shang prefer to use indirect means to control the smaller races in order to achieve their own ends.

The Shang people believe that human beings will soon fall under the power of money, and then human technology will become the products of the Shang people, human warships will become the armed forces of the Shang people, and human warriors will also fight for the interests of the Shang people!
