Chapter 822 Peaceful Business Development Route
Although it was expected that Gemini would ask for help for the safety of the mother planet, the people who came were somewhat beyond Nie Yun's expectations.
"Speaker Kruse?"
"Your Excellency, we meet again."
The light and shadow effects of the virtual image are realistic, and you can clearly see the slightly haggard face of Chairman Kruse.
Obviously, the major crisis in the home planet has made him a little bit battered recently.
"Let's get straight to the point, what do you want this time?"
"Sir Speaker, I don't quite understand what that means." Nie Yun was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be stupid.
"Equivalent exchange, isn't this the consistent trading principle of your organization?
If you want your side to keep the Gemini and mother planet, you must have already thought about the asking price in your heart, but it doesn't matter. "Kruse's tone was calm.
"Uh..." I didn't expect the other party to be so direct.
But hold back, smile sincerely, and eat gracefully!
Nie Yun smiled. "As expected of the Speaker."
"Oh! It's just how old you are, plus you can recognize the situation." Cruze said helplessly.
Ants on a hot pot are used to describe Gemini today. The longer the time drags on, the more tormented Gemini will be.
"Presumably, when you sent troops into Gemini, you had already anticipated today's situation, or...today's situation, was it your side who facilitated it?"
"Eh?" Nie Yun blinked innocently.
"Lord Speaker really wronged us. The second prince sent troops to attack us. We cannot control this. To get the news in advance is already the best effort of our organization."
"Hehe..." Cruze smiled noncommittally.
Even if the Second Prince sends troops to attack you and you can't control it, the next development will probably follow your script...
Not to mention anything else, just relying on the iron wall fleet that you can drive out, you dare not fight. With this kind of strength, is it true that you can't defend a wormhole?
There are no more than two possible reasons.
The first is that they don't want the opponent to fight back, destroy the territory of the solar system too much, or cause too many casualties.
The second is naturally to want to divert the trouble to the east, and then watch the fire from the other side and take advantage of the fire to loot!
So the current situation...is it really because the opponent can't catch up with the Iron Wall Fleet?
Politicians are not detectives, and there is no need to talk about evidence. Kruse already has the answer in his heart.
Kruse was not angry because of the opponent's deliberate design. In the contest between power and power, or between civilization and civilization, being able to play with the enemy in the palm of his hand is strength and the most brilliant strategic art.
Skills are not as good as others, and I am convinced!
After dealing with him for so long, Kruse can be considered to have some clues about his style of doing things in a single moment.
This organization is just like what they claim, if they want something, they often don't like to use force, but like to use the "transaction" method.
He obviously has such a powerful military force, but he hides it and seldom uses force directly.
Energy crystal trade, intelligence trade, "vector engine" trade...
Although the several cooperations with Wanwuguiyihui had a certain degree of coercion, Gemini did not suffer much.
From this point of view, the "character" and "reputation" of All Things Guild are guaranteed to a certain extent.
This is why Gemini is more and more willing to deal with this mysterious force in the form of cooperation rather than confrontation.
However, if Kruse knows that the reason why "All things return to one meeting" is so "gentle and low-key" to the outside world is entirely because not long ago, even Gemini was something they needed to look up to. How do you feel?
Pulling the tiger's skin is a bluff, but can you really go up and scratch the other party?
What should I do if I push people into a hurry and really fight with you?
It wasn't that Nie Yun didn't want to be tough before, it was just a guilty conscience!
"Talk about your conditions, as long as it's not too much, Gemini can accept it.
It's just that you have to understand that we don't have such a treasure as the 'vector engine' anymore, and I'm afraid we can't afford too high a price. "After Cruze confessed, he naturally cried poorly.
Anyway, it's not the first time I've paid the protection fee.
I handed this thing in once, and I didn't resist it the second time...
"Sir Speaker, get straight to the point, so I won't hide it. As long as the Speaker agrees to two conditions, we will immediately take action to completely eliminate the threat of the Iron Wall Fleet."
"First, we want the Proxima Galaxy." With the support of his strength, Nie Yun spoke directly and firmly.
Cruze frowned.
Ceded land?
This condition is somewhat beyond his expectation, and there is also a lack of land for this level of power?
And... why Proxima Centauri?
Kruse was thoughtful, but the answer was quite happy. "Can!"
Compared to the importance of the parent star of the twin stars, a wild galaxy that is located in a remote area and has not been developed much, this deal is not a loss!
"En!" Nie Yun nodded in satisfaction.
The other party seemed to have seen the situation clearly, and was very good at it, so he didn't need to waste his words.
"Second, sign the Earth and Gemini Free Trade Agreement, and we will be responsible for establishing a duty-free port in Kara Xing, so that the goods of the two sides can exchange freely!"
Hearing this, Kruse remained silent for a long time.
After the land is ceded, is it forced to open the treaty ports?
Why did he smell a familiar smell...
This free trade agreement is not simply a matter of free circulation of goods. If the other party relies on a higher level of technology and dumps a large amount of goods to Gemini, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on Gemini's own industrial system.
This is like the age of the planet, when industrial countries dump products to agricultural countries, which itself is a kind of resource plundering based on technological advantages.
At the same time, it also negates the possibility of agricultural countries developing local industries and hinders their technological progress.
Of course, nothing is absolute. There are also examples of poor and white flower growers who have gone through decades of reform and opening up and finally turned around and counterattacked.
For Gemini, is it not only a crisis but also an opportunity?
If we can take advantage of the free trade agreement and exchange the market for technology, it might not be possible to quickly improve the strength of Gemini.
The most urgent thing for Gemini at the moment is to improve their own strength, otherwise, what would they use to face such behemoths as the Wulf Empire, the Machine Race, and even the unity of all things?
Haven't you seen that a fleet popping up at random now has already made Gemini tremble?
Nie Yun looked at the tangled Kruse, knowing that the other party was weighing the pros and cons fiercely, so he just waited quietly.
This second condition is actually an attempt by Nie Yun.
Try a...alternative mode of civilization development!
Earth civilization has developed to the point where it is today, and its technology and military systems have entered the top ranks of the surrounding star field, which is enough to compete with the veteran interstellar empires such as Woolf and the machine clan.
But it has a defect that cannot be made up in a short time... that is the size!
The earth civilization with the advantages of "fire source" Nie Yun, mechanical bugs, technology left over from Ayris civilization, and water of life undoubtedly has great potential for development.
But if you want to develop your potential, you need resources, massive resources!
Among other things, just talking about energy, the Woolf Empire has hundreds of star energy systems that have completed a complete "Dyson sphere", and the "Prometheus Project" of the solar system has only progressed to the very end. one.
Even if Nie Yun launches an army of all humans and machines, not to mention the Wulf Empire, it is still far away to catch up with the combined size of Gemini.
Therefore, he can only find another way and take the route of high-end elite soldiers.
However, the elite soldier route also requires resources, especially basic resources such as various rare metals and energy, and scientific and technological research and development is a big resource consumer.
Stone Age, Iron Age, Industrial Age...
The higher the level of technology, the higher the level of civilization, the demand for resources will also increase exponentially!
The manpower that earth civilization can use is only a mere galaxy. If it takes a lot of time to collect these resources, the energy will undoubtedly be dispersed.
What's more, there are many rare resources that cannot be searched in the solar system, or the stock is very small, which increases the difficulty of collection.
The "Kara Star Free Trade Zone" at that time was actually an attempt by the earth civilization to take advantage of the huge market of Gemini and accelerate the development of civilization through complementary resources.
But it is a pity that the level of science and technology of the earth civilization at that time was not the same as that of the twin stars, so naturally it was impossible to use the advantages of science and technology to carry out asymmetric resource plundering.
Therefore, except for the energy crystal trade, the transaction volume between the two parties has always been tepid, and it can be regarded as a "small commodity market" at best.
But it is different now. Nie Yun, who entered the advanced battlefield of the Wulf Empire, made a lot of money, driving the technological level of the earth's civilization to continue to soar.
Electronic products, industrial machinery, even mechs and warships, earth civilization is undergoing amazing technological incubation. These high-end products urgently need a huge market to digest and exchange for massive resources, so as to hit a higher technological peak.
The time is ripe!
Of course, Nie Yun can enslave Gemini directly by force, but there is still the same problem, the size of the earth's civilization is too small.
Maybe a snake swallows an elephant, but a snake swallows a whale?
I am afraid that suppressing the rebellion in various parts of Gemini will make the earth's civilization exhausted.
Therefore, if you want to maximize the value of Gemini, it is best to use a peaceful way and let the other party work for you willingly!
On the basis of absolute force, the low-level industrial chains are transferred to developing countries, while our own side harvests the basic resources of these countries through a series of peaceful means such as controlling high-end industrial chains and patent barriers.
This is the stage of development experienced by almost every developed country, and it is also the background of the era of "globalization" at that time.
At this time, Nie Yun... wants to make the earth's civilization the top of the food chain!
Nie Yun believes that this is the best way for earth civilization to directly advance to a higher civilization in the shortest possible time, with its current size, across the long era of interstellar development!
As long as the earth's civilization can always maintain its technological and military advantages, the trillions of people in the Twin Stars will become "miners" and "farmers" working for them, and become a different kind of vassal.
This development model is suitable for small but extremely powerful civilizations.
As long as it is parasitic on the Gemini civilization, the earth civilization can get a steady stream of blood supply.
parasitic!
This is indeed the evaluation of this civilization development model by several scientists who participated in the discussion at that time.
But Nie Yun doesn't like it very much, he prefers to call this model...
A peaceful business development route with the characteristics of earth civilization capitalism!
