1968, alliance
"Csapla family is in charge of Chiss territory's resources, finances, personnel management and colonies. It is the largest family and has the most stable status."
"Nuruodo family is in charge of military and diplomacy. It is the most powerful family, but because it is controlled by Csapla family, it always ranks second in the family."
"Inrokini family, in charge of scientific research, education and communications."
"Sabosen family, in charge of law, security, education and medical care."
"The above is the Four Great Families of Chiss territory. In addition, there are five other families. The nine major families form the highest authority of Chiss territory - the cabinet. These nine major families are also called the ruling families. However, it should be pointed out that the ruling family of Chiss territory is not static, and the number of cabinet members will often change."
"For example, among the five major families at the next level, Chaf family is a family that has risen very quickly in recent years. They are also considered to be second only to Four Great Families in strength, and may even challenge the strength of Inrokini and Sabosen family. Therefore, in many cases, in order to gain greater political status, Chaf family will put forward some radical and unique proposals."
"You mean they want to kill us quietly? Haha. How did they come up with this method? Do they really think we are fools?"
"You have to understand that they made this proposal out of politics rather than reason. You will find that the older and more powerful the families, the more cautious their proposals are. And only the emerging families who want to challenge the old order will not hesitate to carry out a series of political adventures... because only in this way can they have the possibility of breaking the order."
"So?"
"Haha... So, secretly trap us and hope that Duchy of Dawn doesn't know, is this the lowest cost and highest return plan? If this plan is really implemented and really effective, then the family that proposed this plan will naturally get the maximum political benefits."
"Have they never considered the possibility of failure?"
"As politicians, they will not consider the possibility of failure. Because once they fail, the entire Chiss territory will pay the price, and they will have more ways to deflect conflicts. Do you know why? Because at that time, the main contradictions were Chiss territory and Duchy of Dawn. How much does Chaf family have to do with them?"
"That being said, we need to stay away from Chaf family."
"Don't you think Chaf family is the most suitable person for us to get close to and win over?"
"I understand, so starting from today's dinner, I have to stay away from you. I found that you people who play politics are really too dark..."
"I only have a superficial understanding of politics. If you really want to play politics, you have to go to Prime Minister Grand Duke or Francis. So, if you treat me to dinner as promised, don't think you can escape."
Kace-Maxwell collected all the information in front of him, "Okay, you explain to me the current political situation Chiss territory, but I only understand half of it, so today's dinner is only half."
"I understand half of it. It's your problem, not mine." Lieutenant General Brent, who was sitting opposite him, said with a smile, "A full dinner, this is what we agreed on."
If you only looked at the surface, you wouldn't know that this was a conversation between a lieutenant general and a captain. It looked more like two old friends.
"Ah... Actually, compared to others, I really didn't expect that Chiss territory's corruption and infighting would reach such an extent." Kace-Maxwell fell back and leaned on the soft sofa backrest, "It's not even a planetary standard day yet, but they took the initiative to send this information to my door?"
Lieutenant General Brent smiled and said, "This is an inevitable result. The first is that Duchy of Dawn's power is too strong compared to Chiss. And second, Chiss is not in this star field. There are no natural enemies in the true sense, and all their designated enemies are weaker than them. In this case, the main contradiction will naturally shift to domestic conflicts. And... under a family oligarchy like theirs, the family is absolute, and the interests become relative."
"So you said another long sentence that I couldn't understand." Kace-Maxwell curled his lips.
Brent said, "The result is that for the sake of the family, interests are ignored. As a ruling family, the interests they can involve are often national interests. In other words, family interests are greater than national interests."
"Chiss territory If this is really the case, it would be a miracle that they can exist until now." Kace-Maxwell said.
"So the premise of their existence is that they have no natural enemies." Brent said with a smile, "Remember the story Chiss told us by Grand Duke? They lost too many people during a war, resulting in insufficient labor in the territory, so there were three In order to quickly replenish their labor force and make their own strength stronger than other families, they took the initiative to recruit Kilik Swarm as laborers. As a result, all three major families were assimilated by Kilik Swarm, which almost caused Chiss territory to fall into a crisis of destruction..."
(Actually, this is what happened 50 years later in the original plot.)
Kace-Maxwell waved his hand and said, "Hey, I asked a lot of people, but they don't know about this."
"Whether it's true or not, look at Chiss now, do you think this will definitely not happen?" Brent asked.
Before Kace-Maxwell could answer, a doorbell sounded outside the door. Kace laughed and stood up, put on a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses, pointed at Lieutenant General Brent with a very coquettish gesture and said, "Ahaha! My informants are here! Your Majesty General, I have to go find out the information. Let's talk tomorrow!"
As he spoke, he opened the door with a click, only to see seven or eight beautiful women of all kinds squeezing in outside the door. Chiss Except for their blue skin, they are just like humans in other places. Even by human standards, these women are first-class beautiful. What's more, one of them turned out to be a human and not the blue-skinned Chiss!
Chiss territory are not all Chiss, there are still a small number of other races living in Unknown Regions, and most of them are humans.
Kace-Maxwell laughed and threw herself among the beauties, and was surrounded by them and left.
"General, if I couldn't beat him, I would definitely beat him up." The speaker was a negotiator and consultant of the delegation.
"If you really want it, I can help you contact Inrokini family. They are in charge of education. It shouldn't be a big problem to send you a few student girls." Lieutenant General Brent said slowly.
"Haha, forget it. I don't have the ability to stay rational in front of these beauties with ulterior motives." The negotiator refused with a smile.
"Hahahaha, anyway, just relax. We have the power of Duchy of Dawn as our backing, and we have the advantage brought by the Star Gate. Chiss territory has only one choice to submit." Lieutenant General Brent said with a smile, "Let's get ready. According to the instructions given to us by Lord Tang Xiao, we must focus on Nuruodo family."
"It's the person whose core name is Thrawn... I've seen some information about him... It seems that he cheated in the Chiss Military Academy's simulated exam?" The negotiator flipped through the information.
"Mis-ro-Nurudo. This is his full name. He may be our most powerful enemy and... most reliable ally. I still can't understand what Lord Tang Xiao means." Lieutenant General Brent said.
Facing the extremely powerful Duchy of Dawn who also possesses stargate technology, Chiss territory succumbed so quickly, which was completely beyond the expectations of Second Exploration Fleet Commander and the diplomatic ambassador Lieutenant General Brent.
In fact, strictly speaking, it is still far from surrendering. But after Duchy of Dawn's Second Exploration Fleet entered Chiss territory and directly revealed the existence of the Star Gate, Chiss territory, who was constantly fighting among himself, almost immediately showed his most vulnerable side.
In less than a day after Lieutenant General Brent and the others settled in the luxurious state-level residence, they obtained nearly 20 beauties, bribes worth hundreds of millions, as well as all kinds of intelligence and black materials about each family.
For example, Illyz family, the mortal enemy of Nuruodo family, did not hesitate to reveal everything about Nuruodo family to Brent and the others, and then Myss family, who had always been unhappy with Illyz family, turned around and sold them out.
Sabosen family sent generous gifts and told Brent in a vague way that if you want to build a star gate, Miurani family (Miurani) is a good choice. However, another piece of information showed that the person responsible for the construction affairs in Chiss territory should be Chaf family.
Nuruodo family, who was in charge of the military, quietly sent a representative, saying that if he could help them expand their territory and defeat several surrounding civilizations that were considered threats, Nuruodo family was willing to help Duchy of Dawn get more benefits from Unknown Regions.
Inrokini family said that if they could kill Sabosen family, then they would be willing to build the stargate within three months at all costs. They also said that Sabosen family is rife with corruption and that cutting corners and cheating is what they are best at. If you want to trade, don't look for Sabosen family.
Chaf family came over and said that Inrokini family was organizing LOLI Island secretly to organize school girls to engage in illegal activities. Their head of the family was gay, so this kind of family should be destroyed.
I also saw that Csapla family was a little more reserved. He only sent gifts but did not make any other requests. After all, they control Chiss territory's resources. If Duchy of Dawn wants to build the star gate, they need their support no matter what.
In short, the nine major families are trying to undermine each other and have their own agendas. The result is... the black information Lieutenant General Brent has in his hands is actually shared by all nine major families!
If this was really an invasion, Chiss territory would be riddled with holes by now.
Of course, if it is really a military invasion, it is unlikely that the nine major families will become the same enemy again. Therefore, the current situation where everyone has their own agenda is what Duchy of Dawn wants to see the most.
So in this case, the outcome is already determined.
Two days later, Chiss territory made a decision to accept Duchy of Dawn's proposal and form an alliance with Duchy of Dawn.
At the same time, Duchy of Dawn is allowed to build a forward base and star gate on Masos Planet (Mssoss), which is actually the planet that Second Exploration Fleet first arrived at.
This place was once infected by Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal. Later, in order to ensure the elimination of all Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal, Chiss Defense Fleet carried out nuclear bombing on this planet, destroying all living things on the planet, and the planet was therefore deserted.
Second Exploration Fleet also immediately started building the star gate here, and Chiss territory expressed his willingness to provide an engineering team and various raw materials for the construction of the star gate.
They are so active because they actually intend to collect as many secrets of the Star Gate as possible while participating in the construction of the Star Gate. It's just that such a plot is destined to fail... because Vasari's technology is completely different from Chiss's, even the entire galaxy. Even if the blueprint is placed in front of Chiss, they can't understand it at all.
At the same time, Chiss also agreed to establish a Joint Operations Command to clean up and combat Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal. Headquarters Grand Commander is served by Chiss Defense Fleet Admiral Ziyala, and the two deputy commanders are Duchy of Dawn first, Second Exploration Fleet's Commander Lieutenant General He Ru and Lieutenant General Brent.
After the two sides shared the intelligence of Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal, Chiss marked a large number of planet coordinates where Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal was detected. Some of them were within the jurisdiction of Chiss territory, and some were located in other civilizations.
This seems very interesting... because although Joint Operations Command's target is only Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal, but if Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal appears in the territory of other civilizations... How about fighting them? What about calling him? Or call him?
At the same time, Chiss territory also officially established diplomatic relations with Duchy of Dawn, and the two parties signed a series of economic cooperation agreements. Duchy of Dawn received help from Chiss territory in building the star gate in the form of a loan, and also gave some technological blueprints to Chiss territory as part of the reward.
Many of the technologies chosen by Chiss territory are related to warship manufacturing. The warship technology provided to them by Duchy of Dawn is mainly derived from the shipbuilding technology of Caldari Republic in "EVE".
At the same time, because Chiss's technology in robots is very backward, so out of the need for labor, they also chose the technology of synthetic humans - yes, it is not an engineering robot or a combat robot, Chiss chose synthetic humans.
To be precise, it is Gen 2 synth from "Fallout 4".
It seems that Chiss does not want cold robots to make his society become cold, and "Fallout 4" Gen 2 synth, which has reached a considerable level of simulation, is a good choice.
Under the strong strength of Duchy of Dawn and the direct deterrence of the Star Gate, Chiss territory quickly accepted the existence of Duchy of Dawn, and the alliance between the two parties officially began at this time.
