Chapter 504: Explanation?
Although Gao Gao's cultivation is not as high as the Dongmen Leopard on the other side, his posture is not low at all, and he even faintly surpasses the Dongmen Leopard.
This posture is because of the strength of the Tianyuan Star civilization and because of the previous victory!
Look, the captives who have surrendered next to him are the best proof of this.
Speaking of which, when this captive first appeared, he was still wearing the military uniform of the Western Yue Empire, and his costume was also from the West Yue Empire. But at this time, it was changed to the costume of the Tianyuan Star civilization, but in some small details, it still retained the costume of the Xiyue Empire.
In fact, these small details are deliberately preserved, and although the details are small, they are always so eye-catching and dazzling.
This is a formal negotiation, and it would be a bit of a child's joke and disrespectful to the surrendered person himself if he asked Gao Shang to continue to wear the costumes of the Western Vietnamese Empire. But it is impossible not to express it.
Therefore, Gao Shang's arrangement is: the whole is the local costume of the Tianyuan Star civilization, but it is still full of the style of the Xiyue Empire in some details.
In fact, this arrangement looks even more glaring.
At this time, after Gao Gao Shang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the captive again, and ninety percent of the eyes on the scene shifted to him.
As the person in charge of this negotiation in the Xiyue Empire, the third prince's eyes were even more gloomy: Gao Gao Shang actually brought a prisoner and sat in the position of negotiation, this Tianyuan Star civilization is really a bit excessive.
In fact, everyone noticed this captive at first, but they all came and turned a blind eye. But not now, as Gundam Shang shifted his gaze, everyone's eyes were focused on this captive.
However, Lao Gao's bad heart exploded slightly. Seeing that everyone looked at him, Gao Gao Shang smiled and said, "Oh, it seems that I forgot to introduce this assistant next to me."
In order to better engage with your country, we have hired a translator. His name is 'Gong Yi Wen Bin'. Now he is a citizen of the Tianyuan Star civilization. ”
The third prince opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything unpleasant, but adjusted his mentality, and said sarcastically: "We have a conventional law here: a person who has betrayed is only one step away from the surname of the three slaves. ”
Gong Wen Bin's face was not good-looking.
But Gao Shang smiled and said, "I agree with this. But what if a person is abandoned?"
"Abandon?" the third prince didn't react for a while. But he reacted in the next second, his fifth brother (fifth prince) was defeated, but he fled in embarrassment, but he ignored most of the soldiers scattered in the void.
"Ahem!" Dongmen Leopard coughed twice and changed the subject, "This issue can be talked about at leisure." Let's talk about the question we just asked.
In fact, we, the Xiyue Empire, also want to ask about the Tianyuan Star Civilization. We, the Fifth Prince, wandered in the starry sky with a fleet, but we were attacked unprepared and suffered heavy losses. We also need an explanation from you on this matter.
At the time, we didn't know what was going on in the constellations. At that time, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince was lost, and he just wanted to find someone to inquire about the way, and he didn't want you to launch a merciless attack without greeting him.
It not only caused a huge loss to our West Vietnamese Empire, but also seriously hurt our feelings.
In this matter, please also ask Tianyuan Star Civilization to give us an explanation. ”
But Gao Shang was already familiar with this kind of negotiation, so he sneered without thinking about it: "Xiangbang, what you said is not right.
At that time, your country took the lead! We have not yet responded.
By the way, we still have records from the time.
Also, if we get lost, we can run to the range of the constellation of the Celestial Society? We later calculated the distance, and it was 3126 light years!"
Dongmen Leopard retorted quietly: "It's not the first time that our Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has gone out to explore trade routes. Moreover, the records left by our side were attacked by you first, and there was no temptation or communication. ’
Gao Shang frowned slightly: I have met an old fox, and people are just going to be unreasonable. But this is diplomacy, or 'war at the negotiating table', and in such exchanges, deceit is the norm.
Gundam didn't argue anything more, but said quietly, "It seems that there is a big difference between the two of us. In that case, let's stop here today. ”
Things have been negotiated at such a point that it is no longer possible to continue negotiations. If the negotiation continues, it will be a quarrel, and everyone will definitely quarrel over this. And then the point of negotiation is lost.
This was the end of the first day of negotiations, and it was the first time that the two sides had gone head-to-head. The whole negotiation took less than half an hour, and most of the time was wasted on etiquette.
However, this is also a common thing in negotiations, and Gao Shang is very calm.
But when he returned to his residence and thought about it for a while, Gao Dashang gradually came up with a different thought: maybe negotiating with this Western Yue Empire was a mistake at all!
The situation of the Western Vietnamese Empire was one of its consistent self-dominance.
Although the Western Vietnamese Empire has all kinds of problems, there is one thing that cannot be ignored - the Western Vietnamese Empire is still the most powerful empire within a radius of 3,000 light-years and a diameter of 6,000 light-years!
And because it's a bit remote, the big powers and masters farther away hardly pay attention to it. Even if the Xiyue Empire got involved in the relationship with the Tianji Empire, the Tianji Empire did not pay much attention to it.
The only external problem of the Western Vietnamese Empire was the small number of surrounding countries. Or it cannot be called a 'state', but only a 'state'.
Under such circumstances, the self-centered and self-righteous thinking of the Western Yue Empire had become deeply ingrained.
Negotiating with such a country, even if the negotiation is really successful in the end, it is almost impossible to reach many terms that are beneficial to the Tianyuan Star civilization.
Previously, the reason why it was necessary to negotiate with the Western Vietnamese Empire was because of the location here and the opening of a new channel by the Blue Star Group here.
But in fact, the West Vietnamese Empire itself was blockaded by a large number of small countries around it, and it was wrapped layer after layer, making it difficult to get in touch with the outside world.
Then such a Western Vietnamese Empire would have little value.
On the contrary, it may be better to send personnel to contact the smaller countries around the Western Vietnamese Empire.
It's like that joke: add another lock, and I'll see how you ride! But Gundam is still thinking about providing more military support to the surrounding small countries, and I see how you still have to fight in the West Yue Empire!
The people of the Western Vietnamese Empire believed that these small countries had little oil and water, and that sending troops to attack would not be worth the loss. But from the perspective of industry and commerce, this is a vast market!
In this starry sky, which is almost 6,000 light-years in diameter, there are countless small nations. Moreover, there are frequent wars between these small countries, and the demand for materials such as cultivation and war is a bottomless pit. And what they ask for is not high-quality, but cheap. But these are just enough to meet the needs of industry and commerce!
The Tian Yuan Star Civilization can launch a 'Proxy War Wave' here!
As for what to pay with, that's too much. All kinds of medicinal herbs and precious ores are all needed by the Tianyuan Star Civilization.
A starry sky with a radius of 6,000 light years, no matter how barren it is, will not be left with nothing. In fact, even if you don't count the Tianji constellation, the average star density of this starry sky is one layer higher than the stars around the Tianyuan Star civilization.
Once this train of thought was opened, Gao Gao Shang found that he had been staring at the royal family of the Xiyue Empire before, and his brain was really in water!
A decaying empire or an arrogant empire is not of much value in terms of official power.
On the contrary, because of the Xiyue Empire**, contacting nobles and so on in various places may have a good effect.
In the past, the Tianyuan Star civilization was mainly connected with the countries around the Screen Star Constellation. The country here has a characteristic: there is a lot of pressure to survive, and everyone has to huddle together to keep warm. In addition, the stars are dense and easy to rule, so the centralization is obvious.
But the Xiyue Empire is different here, and it can even be said that it is completely reversed! The royal family's control over the place needs to rely on the nobility and so on!
With such an idea, Gao Shang negotiated several times in the next few days, and these times his attitude became more and more perfunctory, and it was natural that he broke up unhappily. Then Gundam Shang took his leave on the grounds of regular replies.
There is a way that the two countries are not at war, and the previous collision also made the high-level of the Xiyue Empire realize rationally: it is not beneficial to fight with the Tianyuan Star civilization.
It's good that the two sides are so confused. So Gundam was able to retreat smoothly.
But the top brass of the Western Yue Empire didn't know that the real trouble had just begun!
