Originally Xiao Ran was in a very luxurious room in the ship, lying on his side on a soft sofa and taking a nap. After the people who reported the situation to him came in, Xiao Ran opened his eyes and sat up straight. But when the leader explained the situation, Xiao Ran's tired eyes suddenly became serious, completely covering up the fatigue.
Xiao Ran frowned slightly and asked without raising his head, "Are you sure it was the message sent by Zovok?"
"Yes." The young man who came to report said with a serious face and respect, "The generals are waiting for the adults to return. At the same time, Zovok hopes to have video communication with the adults. The generals have not given any clear reply to Zovok yet."
"Let's go." Xiao Ran stood up and walked directly out of the room, leaving the battleship and heading to White Star Main Command Center. On the way, he kept thinking about why Zovok suddenly requested peace talks, and whether there might be any conspiracy or purpose.
Zovok Contacting Earth Defense Force was simply too inexplicable. It was so sudden. Not only did Earth Defense Force's generals sitting under the command of White Star have no preparation, but even Xiao Ran didn't expect Zovok would actually make such a move. He had reached an agreement with the Rebel Army and Yingjing before, but in the end he went along with the other party, and now he actually proposed a peace deal with himself. No matter how you look at Xiao Ran, you find it a bit baffling.
However, the current situation of the team that Zovok came to Earth is quite tragic. The first advance fleet was captured by all members. The main force was directly shot by Char during the jump without really getting over the head. Several troops that participated in the battle at the same time were all annihilated, and several commanders were captured.
Finally, there was the previous Battle of White Star. Native Species, Earth Defense Force, and Zovok ended up being flanked by Earth Defense Force and Native Species. So many things happened one after another. But not once was he on the side of the winner. Nothing but failure was nothing but loss, nothing but loss. As a super power in the galaxy, he was defeated in every way when facing the earth. I had no idea what the purpose of these guys came out. It felt like they were here to repay the society and send warmth.
Xiao Ran was given not only a fleet, but also a lot of drone technology, and the jumping equipment mounted on the battleships. It was just like in the original plot that they came out to show their presence and did not bring much threat to the earth at all.
Continuous failures and losses may have left this Zovok fleet with little combat power left. Coupled with the power shown by Earth Defense Force, the power shown by Xiao Ran, and the existence of the Burning Legion, the Zovok fleet has no possibility of victory at all. What's more important is that the number of Zovok prisoners currently in Earth Defense Force's hands is really terrifying. Taking a comprehensive look at the helpless choice to negotiate a peace, it can be justified.
When Xiao Ran entered the command room again, everyone in the command room simultaneously turned to look at Xiao Ran who walked in. This atmosphere made Xiao Ran feel a little strange. Many people had excited or excited expressions on their faces. It felt like everyone in the command room had suddenly been inflated. However, when Xiao Ran walked into the command room, there was no communication going on.
Several generals walked up to Xiao Ran and immediately began to report, "Sir, the fleet of Zovok sent us a request for peace, and also expressed the hope to have a direct video communication with you. We did not give the other party any reply for the time being because we needed to ask for instructions, and the other party promised to contact us again in an hour."
"Negotiation?" Xiao Ran sat in his seat and was silent for a while before shaking his head slightly. "Then what do you think?"
General Staff Officer glanced at Xiao Ran and couldn't tell from Xiao Ran's expression what his current attitude towards peace talks was, so he said in an uncertain tone, "If we can negotiate peace, I don't think it would be a bad thing for us. As long as Zovok is sincere in negotiating peace, I think we can accept it."
"After all, all the information we have on Zovok clearly tells us that Zovok, as a large-scale interstellar alliance at the level of the universe, has a huge power in the entire galaxy. Even if they are fighting for power internally and have numerous factions, Many, but if we really anger them, the earth today does not have the confidence to truly resist such a force. Even if we have the force to fight against them, once a full-scale war really breaks out, even if we can win the final victory, the result will be more than worth the loss for us."
Xiao Ran nodded and looked at the other people. "What about you, do you also have this opinion?"
Several Earth Defense Force people who can be said to have the most power looked at each other, and everyone nodded very rationally and clearly understood the interests. "Yes, based on our reasoning and discussion results, what the earth needs now is to recuperate. Moreover, there are unknown enemies that are eyeing us. It would be very beneficial to us if we could enlist Zovok as our helpers. At least they would not become helpers, but they would not become real enemies."
But a general added, "However, this Zovok attack on the earth is unreasonable, and it has also brought us a lot of losses. Your Excellency, you once said that we do not take the initiative to provoke anyone, but we will never be afraid of anyone." Whose provocation and war, and in this fight with Zovok, we finally won and forced the other party to actively seek peace. I think we can also ask them to compensate us for our losses as the victors. "
"I believe that among such powerful forces in the Milky Way, there must be a lot of technologies, materials, etc. that we urgently need. At the same time, we also need to learn more information and information about the Milky Way and the universe from them. It is inevitable to make friends with them, but we must make friends with them as equals or winners."
After listening to what a few people said, Xiao Ran also nodded slightly. Zovok Xiao Ran had no intention of really offending the other party too hard from the beginning, otherwise he would deal with The guys at Zovok are not just prisoners, but they are still treating the prisoners with good food and drinks. The purpose is to one day make those prisoners a bargaining chip in negotiations with Zovok, so as to gain more benefits from it.
