"Speaker, this is the review report submitted by the escort team on the incident of collaboration with the enemy by the third escort captain."

The secretary handed the document bag with the word 'Top Secret' to Chairman Brown, and continued, "Contrary to your expectation, the escort team has indeed laid all the charges on the third escort captain. At the same time, Chief Zina began The internal cleanup of middle- and high-level generals who had close contacts with the third team in the past involves changes in multiple positions. This has been discussed and approved within the escort team. Several important positions still need to be discussed and approved by the council. The list of changes is attached at the end of the document. Already..."

Brown took the top-secret document from his secretary, without even looking through it, and threw it into the pile of documents on his desk. He sneered, "Oh, it's a very common method. When the important position is free, Then I put my own people in. The Guard has changed so many chiefs over the years, but the method of eliminating dissidents is really the same..."

The secretary couldn't answer this. He opened the speaker's itinerary and asked for instructions: "The 'guest' arrived at the council hotel yesterday. Do you want to receive him as planned?"

Brown closed his eyes and held his forehead with his hands. He took two breaths and waved his hands, "Let's arrange the meeting in the conference hall of the hotel. Remember, security measures must be taken!"

The secretary replied: "It has been thoroughly inspected three times, and the defensive walls and shields have also been upgraded to ensure everything is foolproof..."

After the secretary left, Brown frowned and crossed his hands on his desk.

I've been thinking about it these days, but I haven't been able to make up my mind yet. Now all mankind seems to be standing at a fork in the road, and the two roads in front of it are both unknown.

Should we continue fighting or engage in peace talks? Once you make the wrong choice, you will be a sinner forever.

In the past, he has always been the one who firmly chose to fight to the end. After all, the M people and humans have been fighting for nearly a hundred years, and both sides have paid a huge price for this. If the terms of the peace talks alone can make the grudges disappear with a smile. , he didn’t believe it at first, not to mention that historically speaking, the M people had no credibility at all.

But what can we do if we don’t talk about peace now? The convoys fought continuously, and although they occasionally won, the casualty rate was alarming.

Recruitment orders have been issued three times. The first time there were still people who voluntarily signed up and were willing to go to the battlefield. The second time it required a lot of mobilization work by the people under the command. The third time, there were complaints from the people and very few people were recruited. .

If it happens again, I'm afraid there will be forced conscription...

On the one hand, there were a large number of casualties on the front line, and on the other hand, there was insufficient combat supply in the rear. Brown glanced at the top file.

Nowadays, there are also high-level insiders in the escort team and the replacement of heads of many important departments. It will take time for them to familiarize themselves with the business. If they are asked to command operations now, they may not even be able to call their subordinates by name... Can we really win this battle?

But can peace talks really bring peace?

Brown understands better than anyone else that humans who are not from our species will have different minds. Now that humans have invented new weapons, they have indeed had a deterrent effect on the M people. The battle on the second planet was narrowly won. Otherwise, there would not even be a chance for peace talks.

The M people took the initiative to contact and express their intention for peace talks, but they just wanted to use the excuse of peace talks to temporarily cease the war and recuperate, but humans also need a year or two to buffer.

Several years of war have also consumed a lot of human resources. The finances are in a mess, the economy is in decline, food reserves are insufficient, and all industries are tilted towards military products, leading to serious problems in people's livelihood, the crime rate continues to rise, and social conflicts intensify...

It makes sense when I think of what that person said.

Back then, Zener was the first to propose the existence of M-Star pseudo-human beings among humans at the plenary meeting of the Main Star Council. Now the Guardians have won a great victory on the second star. In the hearts of all mankind, the Guardians are the patron saints, and the Council is a spoilsport. All the credit for the council's command and coordination was wiped out.

It is the Guards who gain prestige and enjoy the praise of heroes from all mankind, while all the infamy for running out of finances, repeated conscription, and economic decline is shouldered by the Council.

Brown persuaded himself in his heart, "It's okay to talk about it for the time being. Wait for a year or two. When human strength recovers, it won't be too late to fall out with the M people." '

-

"We have no intention of starting a war with humans. Just as humans had to set out to find a new place to live after the destruction of their habitat six hundred years ago, the same is true for the M people. The M people cannot watch their last descendants die on a lifeless planet. On the Death Star, it is natural to find a new location.

Humans and Planet M people have gone through a long-term competition for resources because we are all following the way of survival of our ancestors, that is, one species monopolizes an entire planet.

But now the M people have changed their minds. We work hard to learn human language and behavior in the hope of coexisting with humans. In order to prevent humans from being afraid of our appearance, we can even put ourselves in a small skin and become human. Live like that.

The M people show full sincerity and hope to work with mankind to build a home for survival! ” said the peace ambassador sent by M Star.

Brown looked at the M Star delegation opposite with a wary expression. The foreign affairs officer sitting next to Brown snorted, "Is this the reason why M Star people assassinate and replace the top members of the Main Star Council?"

The leading M star had a decent smile on his face, "There have been disputes between M stars and humans for nearly a hundred years. Isn't it tacitly understood by everyone to send spies to each other? Since we choose to sit here for peace talks, Let’s not mention those old things anymore and look forward to a bright future together, okay?”

The Foreign Affairs Officer saw through the M Star people's trick of avoiding the most important and taking the easy way out at a glance. "To put it lightly, the M people occupied the fourth subsidiary planet of mankind, enslaved the humans above, and plundered a large amount of resources. Now they just lightly told us not to mention the past, and then lightly revealed it. It really makes it difficult for us to see you. sincerity in peace talks.”

"It is common for two parties to fight and win or lose. You killed all our defenders on the second star, and we didn't say anything.

Please humans believe that we have come from afar with the desire for peace and full sincerity. In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to hand over control of the fourth satellite to humans. We only need humans to allow the M people to live here with you. On five beautiful planets. "

Brown's eyes flashed sharply when he heard this, "Do you want to join other administrative stars?"

"All we want is survival. In exchange for the control of the fourth star for our right to survive, I think this request is not too much."

The M Star people are willing to give up the actual control of the fourth star. This is really heartwarming. However, once the M Star people are allowed to enter other administrative stars at will, who can guarantee that they will not have other ideas? Even if they take back control of the fourth star The temptation is big enough, but no one is willing to take the risk of inviting a wolf into the house.

The Main Star Council and the M Star delegation conducted dozens of rounds of secret consultations, and finally the two sides reached a peace agreement in 639 New Year, shelving the dispute and coexisting in cooperation.
