Vol 4 Chapter 1323: Delicate alliance

After the Duke of Arden's Fleet Turtles retracted into the Alpha 217 Scutum fortress, the pattern of the Milky Way has quietly changed.
In terms of fleet strength, the Palestine Galaxy Far Star Empire is already weaker than the combined fleet of the Carbon-based Alliance and humanity.
However, with the Duke of Arden's fleet, the planet fortress of Alpha 217 Scutum is still resisting.
The control star field of the Palese Galactic Far Star Empire began to shrink rapidly, and could only barely control the star field of Alpha Scutum.
The other three spiral arms of the Milky Way, the Perseus, the Rectangle and the Sagittarius spiral arms, are no longer within Palese's control.
The Carbon-based Alliance began to expand its spiral arms to the Perseids and the Rectangular constellations, to control more resource stars, and deepen the star field.
...
After destroying the intergalactic star gate of the Palestine civilization, the core members of the military scientific research team held a secret meeting.
The number of people attending this meeting was not high, only nine people, plus Yang Yuping, who participated in a remote communication meeting.
"Palace has fallen into a slump in the current battle of the galaxy. Next we need to plan for the future strategic goals." Fang Yuan gave the meeting a head.
In this secret meeting, the number of participants was very small.
Because the content to be discussed at this meeting is not suitable for publication.
"The main issue for discussion is whether to accelerate the destruction of the Palestine Galactic Far Star Empire." Fang Yuan pointed out the most critical question.
According to ordinary people's thinking, of course, the Palestine Galactic Empire should be destroyed as soon as possible, but this may not be the most beneficial choice for mankind.
"If humans and the carbon-based alliance are regarded as a whole, naturally the sooner the Palisades Galactic Empire will be destroyed, the better, but the problem is..." Han Youwei actually knew what Fang Yuan wanted to say when she heard half of it. .
This question is very real.
The carbon-based alliance is not a whole, let alone human beings are not a member of the carbon-based alliance.
Under this circumstance, the choices that are favorable to the carbon-based alliance may not be favorable to mankind.
"Sometimes, the situation of the multi-civilization alliance is actually very similar to the relationship between nations in the earth age, and even the relationship between civilizations and civilizations is even more cruel..."
Fang Yuan has been thinking about this issue for a while, crossed his hands and ten fingers, and proposed a discussion direction:
"Let’s first assume that if the Palestine Galactic Far Star Empire is now annihilated and the Palestine civilization completely withdraws from the stage of the Milky Way, what will happen next?"
"It's very simple. The three advanced civilizations in the carbon-based alliance have begun to compete for resource stars." Lang Xiaonian said the answer that everyone has in their hearts.
"Yes, but we are not a member of the carbon-based alliance. When we compete for resource stars, we will inevitably be excluded and jointly suppressed." Fang Yuan said this very realistic problem.
"Our relationship with the photosynthetic civilization is actually quite good..." Eve interjected.
"In fact, it is not as good as it seems on the surface. We do cooperate very happily with the photosynthetic civilization, and even cooperate with the mechanical empire very happily, but..."
Fang Yuan shook his head and continued: "However, in the face of interests, this pleasant experience of cooperation can only be a bonus item, and it is difficult to become a major factor affecting the results.
"Actually, just think about it.
"We have a good relationship with the photosynthetic civilization. In fact, it is mainly reflected in the photosynthetic race of Piggs.
"When the war in the galaxy is over, Piggs will definitely be promoted, then he should choose to return to the home planet without hesitation.
"At that time, another galactic administrator will come over to take charge of galactic affairs. At that time, the photosynthetic civilization will not be as easy to talk as it is now.
"There is one more important point.
"Although the three-eyed civilization has squeezed the photosynthetic civilization a lot in the past tens of thousands of years, the two civilizations have cooperated closely for tens of thousands of years after all.
"These two civilizations can cooperate for tens of thousands of years, and their relationship is certainly not something we can fully understand.
"Let's put it this way.
"Do you think that the photosynthetic civilization will be separated from the three-eyed civilization and unite with us instead?"
"This..." This question was raised, and everyone was silent.
Han Youwei thought for a while and said: "I find it difficult, but the photosynthetic civilization should hope that we humans will continue to exist, so it should provide some help, but it must be on the premise of not sinning against the three-eyed civilization.
"From the standpoint of the photosynthetic civilization, their choice should be to use us to remind the three-eyed civilization and let the three-eyed civilization reduce their oppression.
"In other words, we will probably become the tool people of the photosynthetic civilization."
Speaking of the last, Han Youwei helplessly spread her hands.
Although this inference is very uncomfortable, it is likely to be the case.
No matter how much the human fleet pays in the war, it cannot change the fact that human beings are a primary civilization.
It is impossible for photosynthetic civilization to really offend a higher civilization just because of a primary civilization.
Therefore, in the eyes of the photosynthetic civilization, human beings are indeed the most suitable tool for reducing the oppression of the three-eyed civilization.
Even if there are some high-level photosynthetic people who want to unite with humans, it is almost impossible for them to completely separate from the three-eyed civilization.
In the past tens of thousands of years, the development of the three-eyed civilization and the photosynthetic civilization on the resource star has basically been inseparable.
Therefore, no matter how much humans and the photosynthetic group of plants can get together, it is impossible to replace the status of the three-eyed civilization, unless one day the three-eyed civilization does not exist.
On the bright side, tool people also have the benefits of tool people, at least photosynthetic civilization will not let mankind decline, after all, tool people also have the value of existence.
"Then what should we do? Why is the situation so complicated, it seems that the destruction of the Palestine Galaxy Far Star Empire is even worse for us?" Eve held her cheeks and frowned, feeling that this level of complexity is not what she likes to think about. degree.
"If you think about it from a vertical and horizontal line of thought, in fact, maintaining a balance of the overall situation is more beneficial to a relatively weak civilization." Zhao Anya actually communicated this topic with the highest council of the earth.
The current pattern of the Milky Way is indeed very delicate.
Obviously the Palese Galactic Far Star Empire is the enemy, but once this enemy is destroyed, the result is not necessarily beneficial to him.
In fact, this delicate situation also exists within the carbon-based alliance.
In fact, the main reason why the three higher civilizations in the carbon-based alliance can form an alliance is because of the existence of the Palestine civilization as a powerful enemy.
When the Palestine civilization is destroyed one day, the three higher civilizations in the Carbon-based Alliance may not be able to maintain the current relationship.
You know, these three civilizations were all born in the Triangulum galaxy, and there is a conflict between them.
When they have no common enemy, what happens next can actually be guessed.
