The trade between humans and the Shang people was unequal from the beginning, in the beginning, it was only a one-way trade of the Shang people, all the goods were transported to the solar system by the Shang spaceships, and the goods prepared by the human beings were also transported to the Shang people or Atlantis through the Guò Shang spaceships.

After a period of action, the Republic gradually learned about the situation of the Shang people, and began to try to send spaceships to actively sell goods to the Shang people, which the Shang people were happy to see.

However, the portal of the merchant clan is not used in vain, and the portal needs to pay a high toll of 10% of the value of the goods, and if the toll is less than 5 suo, it will be calculated as 5 suo, and just passing through the portal will exploit 20% of the total value of the goods.

In addition, there are no other obvious difficulties, and no one is to blame for the fact that the goods cannot be sold after they are transported to the merchant family.

The first merchant ships on the republican side were all sent by the military, and with the support of the state, even if they made a loss-making deal, it was nothing.

After hundreds of trial voyages, the Republic finally opened up interstellar trade to private capital, and the trade between the Republic and the Shang clan officially entered the bilateral era, and the goods of the Shang clan began to enter the human world in a controlled manner under the control of the high-level.

There are no restrictions on the merchant community, but the goods that can enter the eyes of the merchant family in the republic are really pitiful, and the free trade that is not carried out according to the agreement is an absolute trade deficit, and the consequences of truly opening up the market of the republic are obvious.

In addition to the Republic, the Middle East and other human colonies have also come into the sight of the Shang people, although all of them, including the Middle East, are still in the infrastructure construction stage. So poor that he can't even make a jingle bell, and he doesn't make much money at all. But the Shang clan quickly established portals in these colonies and began a large-scale loss-making dumping.

It doesn't matter if they don't make money now, the Shang clan is not short of these small money, what they care about is the control of these colonial stars!

Originally, the republic also planned to control these colonial stars through guò economy, but after the strong intervention of the Shang clan, the republic, which was too busy to take care of itself, could no longer take care of those colonial stars.

Even the Middle East region no longer purchased the Chinese Aquila-class warships, but instead purchased more advanced warships from the Shang clan!

The warships sold by the Shang clan to the Middle East are actually not much better than the Skyhawk class, but when the Skyhawk class is in the hands of the Chinese side. They are equipped with weapons such as light-speed torpedo crystal missiles. The combat capability is very strong.

But what about in the Middle East? The Republic will not sell advanced crystal missiles, nor will it be possible to sell magnetic missiles, and the price of light-speed torpedoes is high, and the Middle East region simply cannot afford to buy them in large quantities.

There are no such advanced weapons. The combat effectiveness of the Skyhawk class has been reduced by more than half. The Middle East was lured by the Shang clan to sell advanced warships. Naturally, they will make choices that are more beneficial to themselves.

In addition, there is another important reason, that is, the value of gold in the Shang clan is much higher than in the human world, and the price of a Skyhawk-class warship is huàn into gold. You can buy at least three merchant ships.

I don't know how many countries regret this discovery, if they are still on the earth, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they can get some gold, but what about the current colony star? There is no heavy element at all, and even if the planet is blown up, it will not be able to find a single star.

Return to Earth?

Just kidding, nominally the territories on the earth are still individual countries, but the actual control of the earth is in the hands of the republic, and who can spit out the fat in their mouths?

Is the Chinese fleet easy to mess with? Whoever dares to say the bold words of returning to Earth today will surely die tomorrow without a place to bury!

If you want to blame it, you have to blame the Atlanteans in the first place...... Soon after, many countries began to cultivate poisonous plants at the prompting of the Chinese side and began to sell them to Atlantis in large quantities.

The size of the subhumans is much larger than that of humans, and the amount of anesthetic required is much higher than that of humans, and the amount of subhumans used at one time is enough for humans to use ten times or eight times, and the demand of subhumans is too great, and the Chinese side alone cannot meet such a large market, and it is the best choice to pull all the colonial stars together on the Chinese chariot.

In this regard, the Republic has a natural advantage, at least it can place the portal on its own without the Shang clan, and at the same time, it can control the shipping channels of each colonial star.

The trade agreement between the Republic and the Shang clan does not stipulate that humans cannot conduct commercial activities with Atlantis, but the republic does not want the plan to weaken the sub-people to be controlled by the Shang clan, after all, the sub-people belong to one of the technological factions of the Seven Clans Alliance, and the overall weakening of Atlantis is not in the interests of the Shang clan, and the large flow of sub-people's gold to the republic is also not in the interests of the Shang clan.

Over bilateral trade, the republic engaged in a series of confrontations with the Shang clans.

The commercial development of the two sides is entirely the product of political interests, and there is no essential difference between the great powers of the earth and the colonization of the earth in which they opened the door to weak countries with strong ships and cannons.

Although the Republic has always vigilantly organized strict trade barriers and maintained a non-cooperative attitude towards trade between the two sides, it is precisely because of interstellar trade that humanity has begun to understand the universe beyond the range of 700 light years, and has since been confined to a corner of Orion's Arm.

It is for this reason that later historians believe that although the trade between the republic and the Shang clan was full of deceit, it was also the first step for mankind to shake off the shackles and truly move towards the universe!

However, history has the limitations of the times, and the Chinese people in it are far less far-sighted than the scholars of later generations, and take 10,000 steps back to say, if it were not for the high-level of the Republic to try their best to block the economic invasion of the Shang people, the human beings of later generations may have already become weak vassals of the Shang people, and the so-called first step towards the universe will also become the first step to the abyss.

Also planning to weaken the Atlanteans are the Saucers.

Although the Dish Clan had a truce with the Yaren under the coordination of the Shang Clan, how could it be said that there was no hatred that lasted for 10,000 years? It's just a matter of moving from the light to the dark.

According to the information obtained by the intelligence officers of the Second Department of the General Staff who were lurking in Atlantis, the Shang clan was courting the Saucer Clan, hoping that the Saucer Clan would join the Seven Clans Alliance.

Obviously, the Shang clan has realized the strength of the Saucer Clan, and in the case of the half-crippled subhumans and the weak human race, pull the Saucer Clan into the Seven Clans Alliance, and the overall strength of the science and technology faction will completely overwhelm the biological faction!

In the past, it would have been difficult for the Republic to obtain such information, but with the gradual expansion of bilateral trade and the in-depth penetration of humans into Atlantis, information related to Atlantis, the Shang Clan, and the Seven Clans Alliance has been continuously sent back to the base planet.
