1965, Chiss territory (中)
"There is no doubt that we are here for peace." Brent said, "Duchy of Dawn has no intention of launching a war against Chiss territory, and does not need Chiss territory to join our war. All we hope is to make a friend."
"Since it is for peace, I think we can start a dialogue." The speaker was still one of the four people sitting in the middle, a middle-aged woman. She glanced at Brent and them, and added, "I am Csapla family (Csapla family)."
Another middle-aged man next to him also said, "The members of Chiss Cabinet have all given up their names. We represent the entire family, and our title is also equivalent to the name of the family - I am Nuruodo family (Nuruodo family)."
"Inrokini family (Inrokini family)."
"Sabosen family (Sabosen family)."
After the leader of Four Great Families introduced himself, the other five families also introduced themselves. There is no doubt that standing here is the highest authority that rules the entire Chiss territory - Family Cabinet.
"Duchy of Dawn, Second Exploration Fleet Commander, Lieutenant General, Brent." Lieutenant General Brent replied neither humble nor overbearing.
"Very good, then... since Duchy of Dawn has sent a fleet from afar, please tell me directly, what benefits can Duchy of Dawn bring to us?" Csapla family said straight to the point.
"Chiss territory is not directly connected to the outside world. We are self-sufficient, have our own culture and civilization, have enough power to protect ourselves, and have rich products. And Duchy of Dawn, and Galactic Republic, The relationship between the Galactic Empire and Galactic Empire is not stable in our opinion. If we accept you, Chiss territory will be hostile to the Galactic Empire," Nuruodo family said.
"It seems that you are still paying attention to what is happening in the Milky Way. Doesn't this just mean that you are not as isolated as you said?" Brent said with a smile.
"Threats from the outside world are always there. Of course we will not turn a blind eye to potential threats." Nuruodo family said.
Nuruodo family is in charge of Chiss territory's military and diplomacy. Their strength ranks second among Chiss territory Four Great Families, second only to Csapla family, who is in charge of resources and colonial management. This family is also the family that adopted Thrawn.
Brent smiled and said, "Duchy of Dawn is willing to share our economy, technology and culture with Chiss territory. This will broaden our mutual horizons, promote each other's development, and enhance each other's strength. There is no harm in this. I believe that after we establish a communication mechanism, we will soon understand the benefits that each other can bring."
"I think you have overlooked one point. The location where Chiss territory is located is not connected to the outside world." Sabosen family said.
Brent shook his head and said, "I believe you knew Outer Rim Exploration Program from Galactic Republic ten years ago. Do you still think Chiss territory is isolated? And just now, how do you think I got here? Similarly, how did our other Exploration Fleet eliminate Ssi-ruuvi Imperium?"
"Are you threatening us?" Nuruodo family said coldly, "Or do you think that if you can defeat Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, you can definitely defeat us Chiss territory?"
"This is not a threat, but an explanation of an objective fact - Unknown Regions is actually not as isolated and isolated as you think." Brent said, "And if you continue to think so and continue to hide here without contact with the outside world, sooner or later you will be swallowed up by the outside world."
"If you want to come, Chiss territory's fleet is waiting for you at any time!" Nuruodo family seemed a little angry, and he raised his voice and said loudly.
Lieutenant General Brent still maintained a smile, "Indeed, we are here. But, it is for peace. Please see, here is a gift from Duchy of Dawn to Chiss territory."
An attendant handed over a gift list. Lieutenant General Brent handed the gift list to Admiral Qiyala, who handed it to Csapla family.
"Here are some Duchy of Dawn's precious products, plant seeds, animal embryos, etc. Of course, the most important thing is the blueprint of a technology - Warp Drive." Lieutenant General Brent turned on the projection and explained, "You should know the principle of curvature navigation. But it has not developed a mature engine, because Chiss territory still has some relatively stable hyperspace channels. However, the hyperspace here is still extremely unstable, so we believe that Warp Drive can help you further strengthen communication within the territory."
"This kind of Warp Drive is what you rely on to enter 'Chaos'?" Inrokini family asked.
For the residents of Unknown Regions, they call this star field Chaos.
"Oh no." Brent shook his head, "Warp Drive is just a gift from us to show our sincerity... and we, Duchy of Dawn, are currently using at least three technologies that can be used to enter and exit 'Chaos'. And the sharing of these technologies depends on our mutual understanding."
All I can say is that Second Exploration Fleet Commander is worthy of being chosen to come into contact with Chiss. Lieutenant General Brent After taking off his military uniform, he looked like an eloquent diplomat, who was at ease in such situations effortlessly.
Although Brent kept saying that he came for peace, he reminded Chiss in and out of his words that Duchy of Dawn had enough means to enter Unknown Regions. This is enough, because how powerful Duchy of Dawn is, he does not need to tell these Chiss.
Chiss territory The expressions of the nine families became solemn. They looked at each other and seemed to be discussing something in private using a hidden communication method.
After a while, Nuruodo family asked, "Then how can you guarantee that Duchy of Dawn will not invade Chiss territory?"
"We can sign a trade contract, and then start trade, promote exchanges, and strengthen cooperation. As long as the more common interests we both have, once a war breaks out, wouldn't Duchy of Dawn's sword be equivalent to cutting down on ourselves?" Brent said.
"Binding common interests? Then when Duchy of Dawn goes to war with others, will we Chiss territory also be bound to the war?" Csapla family sneered.
"Duchy of Dawn has the technology to enter and exit Chaos, but that doesn't mean that others also have it. And of course... Duchy of Dawn will definitely not hand over this technology to our enemies, right?" Lieutenant General Brent said pointedly, and he deliberately emphasized the words 'our enemies'.
