"Gestalt believes that the iconic, powerful Titan-class battleship is necessary. It is a symbol of technology and national status, and it is also a deterrent."
"For example, your country's Burning Heavenly Arms has destroyed far fewer planets than the battleships, but its existence symbolizes strength."
Seeing that his words had no effect, Wendak was not angry.
"Okay, as for the second set of proposals, I agree as the Grand Consul. The specific contents will still be submitted to the Parliament for review. If nothing else, there won't be any big changes."
"Gestalt likes to communicate with straightforward politicians like you. Some individuals like to use meaningless modifiers too much. Gestalt has basically agreed to the deal. Your parliamentary system is too inefficient. I will wait patiently for your news."
"Are there any other diplomatic proposals? Your Majesty the Grand Consul?" Leader No. 1 asked.
"No, I'm glad to communicate with you Leader No. 1. I hope our future cooperation will be as pleasant."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two ended the call. Wendak did not say any polite words. He really liked cooperating with the Silicon Alliance. This is a powerful civilization with great potential.
In the past, when the Milky Way did not face the threat of the natural disaster Swarm, the Zeluo people hoped that there would be as few countries as possible in the Silicon Alliance. A thousand civilizations in Stellaris Council seemed like a lot. In the Milky Way with a diameter of 60,000 light years, even more civilizations perished.
It is not easy to join the council if you can maintain the independence of your own civilization.
Things are different now. The more civilizations there are on the Council, the better, and the more powerful the better. Various recent reports indicate that the Council is facing military defeat.
Both the Fortress Plan and the Super Soldier Plan were successfully passed, and the countries in the Council also gathered a fleet and resources to eliminate the Swarm natural disaster.
When Antilians was speaking in the council, the real-time picture played really shocked most civilizations. Super soldiers are being produced on a large scale and are playing an increasingly important role on the battlefield.
The three permanent members of the Security Council thought that things would develop for the better for everyone, but the reality was that Swarm's strength severely slapped their confidence in the face.
When attacking the first key galaxy, Antilians thought he was unlucky. He encountered a galaxy heavily defended by Swarm, and the battle losses he incurred far exceeded expectations, which was normal.
Then, they discovered that every galaxy is difficult to fight, and it is getting harder and harder to fight. The battle loss ratio between the Swarm fleet and the council fleet is getting closer. Swarm is carrying out targeted weapon evolution, and they are adapting to the council's tactics.
The glory of the past when hundreds of fleets could wipe out a small Hatchery is gone forever. The current situation is that even tens of thousands of warships may be dispatched and they may get into a bitter battle in a galaxy.
The shipyard is building day and night, but it still cannot make up for the losses caused by the attack on Swarm.
The council's main fleet, led by three Titan-class battleships, is not invincible. Two of them have been damaged and are being repaired. The battle losses of the entire fleet exceed one-third.
The attack had only started a month ago, and only a dozen star systems had been cleared. Crucially, there were only three star systems where fortresses could be built.
Looking at the Swarm occupation zone covering more than a thousand star systems, the fortress plan seems to be going bankrupt.
Swarm, Wendak didn't even dare to think about the potential of this civilization, which may have a history of more than 100 million years.
Putting aside his worries, Wendak turned on his computer. He still had a lot of work to do and a lot of information to understand. It was very difficult to govern a huge civilization.
The economy is in recession, food is scarce, and quite a few robots are missing. There are many things to worry about.
I wonder if the holy civilization near the center of the galaxy has witnessed the rise and fall of many civilizations. Will they help the ordinary civilization of the galaxy survive the crisis at a critical moment?
Shaking his head, Wendak threw his unrealistic fantasies out of his mind.
The closer to the interior of the Milky Way, the more dangerous it is. The rotation speed here is faster, and the stars are not as healthy as the outer ring. From the perspective of nurturing life, it is far less vibrant than the outer ring of the Milky Way.
Even the civilization born here will try its best to colonize the outer ring of the galaxy.
Except for the Stagnant Holy Power and their vassals, there is very little civilization here.
Following the ancient waterway, a fleet of only a dozen ships sailed in a swarm of meteorites. Their speed was very slow because the meteorites were too dense, and if they were not careful, the ship would be destroyed and people would be killed.
These are the Randal people of Star Starfish. They are unwilling to accept the loneliness of their country and want to come here to find the Holy Power of Stasis and ask for their help.
They originally thought that the difficulty lay in the negotiation. For example, how to protect their country's sovereignty while asking for help, and what to do if they were rejected, these conventional difficulties were all involved.
But just the waterway is full of dangers. Only about a week after leaving hyperspace, two battleships were lost.
The Randall envoy was commanded by Ambassador Meta and General Gufu. The two men on the flagship were seriously looking at the image on the optical radar and comparing it with the waterway in the computer.
"Your Excellency, Ambassador, the position shown on the waterway map is correct. Either the waterway itself is so dangerous, or there is a situation that the superiors did not tell us." When Gu Fu spoke, his tone was quite polite, but his expression was not so good.
"Please don't be impatient. We have the trust of civilization on our shoulders. Even if the mission is really dangerous, we will continue." Meta comforted Gufu.
"If we give up here, we will be sinners to the entire civilization. Let's move forward."
It seemed that luck was on Randall's side this time. As soon as Ambassador Meta finished speaking, the radar operator reported, "An unknown gravitational reaction was found. It may be a wormhole. We have found the wormhole mentioned on the waterway!"
"Attention of the entire fleet, start to slow down, use the giant meteorite in front as a cover, and maintain parallel speed. The fifth ship sent two teams of drones to the possible direction of the wormhole to conduct reconnaissance."
After carefully observing the radar image, Gufu was extremely excited and immediately issued a series of instructions.
"General, do you still suspect that the higher-ups are treating us as cannon fodder?" Meta asked Gufu with a smile.
No doubt, these three words came to his lips, and Gu Fu swallowed them down. "Everything depends on the investigation of the reconnaissance team. What if it is something else? It is difficult to say anything in the universe."
Two hours later, the drone arrived at the designated location, and a blue wormhole appeared on the big screen on the flagship bridge. All the starfish cheered for this beautiful wormhole.
