From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 536: "Imperial Suggestion" Reminds the Imperial Fist

The final outcome of the initial negotiations.

It was the rebel allies, including the Major and Cassian, who, under the "development" of Magnus's psychic powers, felt an indelible sense of identity.

The images and fragments that flooded into their minds seemed to have opened a whole new window for them, allowing them to have a deeper understanding of the Human Empire.

Although there are still some doubts in their hearts, they are "willing" to cooperate with the Human Empire to fight against the tyranny of the Galactic Empire.

However, this was a unilateral decision made by the major.

After all, the real intention of Magnus, or the Empire of Man, is to make the Rebel Alliance its "vassal" rather than a collaboration between equal forces.

The goal of the Human Empire has always been unity and order, and the existence of the Rebel Alliance is nothing more than a chess piece in this grand plan that is "tasteless to eat but a pity to discard."

At this moment, Magnus slowly withdrew his psychic energy, and the golden light in the bridge gradually dissipated, returning to its original coldness and solemnity.

The major took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock and mixed emotions in his heart.

He took a step forward, his voice full of undisguised respect: "Respected Lord Magnus, please allow me to use your communication equipment to contact the top leaders of our Rebel Alliance to reach a cooperation agreement between the two sides."

Magnus nodded slightly: "Of course."

Naturally, he had no objection to the major's request.

Because this is also part of the human empire's plan, through the assistance of the Rebel Alliance, to quickly disintegrate the rule of the Galactic Empire.

"Thank you so much."

With approval, the major continued forward and came to the center console.

only.

Faced with the hard light technology of the main universe, the major didn't know where to start, let alone how to call up the communication interface.

Fortunately, the Blood Raven Company's intelligent AI generated a hard-light screen with a "Star Wars" universe operating interface for it, allowing the major to input a series of encrypted commands with the help of the screen buttons with physical touch.

A moment later, the communication channel was connected, and a holographic image of a senior member of the Rebel Alliance gradually appeared next to the center console.

And a middle-aged woman in a white robe appeared.

She had neat short hair, a dignified face and noble temperament, and her appearance seemed to add a touch of solemnity to the bridge.

"."

Magnus's eyes swept over the woman, and the information provided by his father Sui Yang quickly emerged in his mind.

He immediately recognized the other party's identity——

Mon Mothma, one of the founders of the Rebel Alliance and its supreme commander.

This legendary woman was an influential senator in the late Old Republic and expressed doubts about the policies and decisions of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine during the Clone Wars.

After Palpatine established a series of "dictatorial" systems, Mon Mothma immediately formed a Rebel Alliance with like-minded senators and heroes, and fought against the Galactic Empire for more than ten years.

In this regard, Magnus maintained a certain respect for Mothma in his heart.

Although the Human Empire and the Rebel Alliance have different ideologies, their spirit of resistance alone is admirable.

Her tenacity and wisdom are the key to the Rebel Alliance's ability to survive the oppression of the Galactic Empire.

?

However, Mothma's expression at this moment seemed somewhat puzzled.

Through holographic imaging, she saw that the space where the major was was vast, as if he was in a huge metal palace.

All the pilots and special forces members sent out from Yavin 4 also stood neatly behind the major, with a hint of nervousness and respect in their expressions.

When her eyes swept across the center console

!!!

Mothma had the same look of shock as the Major had just had when he entered the bridge of the Omniscient Arcanum.

She saw the tall Astartes warriors, and also saw Magnus, the "giant" Primarch, who was quietly standing beside the center console, like an insurmountable mountain.

"This is this"

Stunned, Mothma didn't know what to say for a moment.

She is more than 1.5 meters tall, which makes her look "petite" in front of the pilots and special forces.

However, the appearance of those Astartes warriors, Sekhmet Honor Guards, and the Primarch Magnus made her feel as if she had accidentally entered the legendary "Temple of the Gods".

These "giants" are not only huge in size, with complex runes and battle scars covered on their power armor, but what is even more shocking is that they all have human faces.

The existence of this contradiction made Mothma instinctively think that these giants were so-called "gods".

Upon seeing this, the major stepped forward in a hurry, his voice filled with urgency: "Commander, this is the flagship of the Blood Raven Company of the Human Empire, the Omniscient Arcanum.

We have reached a preliminary cooperation intention with the Human Empire, so we are seeking final approval from you and other high-level officials."

Hearing this, Mothma finally came back to his senses from his shock.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner shock.

His eyes swept across Magnus and Gabriel, then looked at Sekhmet and the Blood Raven warriors in the distance.

It was not until this moment that she fully realized that everything Cassian had reported before was true.

The Human Empire does have a group of super soldiers who are worth a hundred at a time. Their existence breaks the boundaries of common sense and cognition.

After a pause, Mothma regained his serious demeanor and his voice became firm and calm again: "Major, please report your situation in detail."

"Yes, Commander."

The Major nodded and quickly gave a brief report on the meeting and the strength of the human empire.

He described the scale of the human empire's warships, the strength of its warriors, and the overwhelming superiority of the Blood Raven fleet in the Battle of Scarif.

At the same time, he also mentioned Magnus's psychic powers and the images and fragments that flooded into his mind.

Mothma listened quietly, lost in thought.

She was shocked by the strength of the human empire, but also had expectations and concerns about future cooperation.

"That's all, Commander."

At this time, the major's closing remarks brought Mothma back to "reality".

She nodded and said, "You did a good job, but..."

Her tone suddenly became serious. She looked up at Magnus who was not far away and said bluntly with a questioning tone:

"Sir Magnus, from what I hear in your request, it seems that you are not seeking cooperation, but rather using the tone of a superior ordering a subordinate to force our Rebel Alliance to obey your command and dispatch, right?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Magnus did not hide anything and also made his position clear. He smiled meaningfully and said:

"The goal of our human empire's involvement in this universe is to achieve the unification of the galaxy in this universe, and to govern it under the jurisdiction of our human empire, leading the people under our command to continue to move towards a more prosperous society.

Therefore, your Rebel Alliance is just an assistant to our Human Empire during the Unification War."

Magnus paused for a moment, his tone darkening:

"If you merge directly into the human empire, you will receive abundant resource supplies and technological support. We can achieve true mutual benefit and help each other and work together for the future of the galaxy."

Hearing these words, Mothma's brows furrowed.

Even though this was her first time negotiating with Magnus, she knew that what Magnus said was not false.

Just through the conversation with Magnus and various summaries, it can be seen that the goal of the Human Empire seems to have always been unity and order.

The existence of the Rebel Alliance is a force that the Human Empire must "absorb" or "eliminate".

Judging from the actions and absolute strength demonstrated by the Human Empire, the Galactic Empire is no match at all.

It will probably not be long before the entire galaxy falls into the hands of the human empire.

Therefore, the Rebel Alliance had few options -

Either choose to follow the human empire's command advice and join it directly; or continue to "go it alone" and face future challenges alone.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, "going it alone" means confronting both the Human Empire and the Galactic Empire, two behemoths at the same time, which is obviously a very unwise move.

Whether in terms of resources, manpower or technology, the Rebel Alliance cannot compare with these two forces.

Continuing to fight alone will only put the Rebel Alliance into a more difficult situation.

or.

In order to return to the original confrontation situation, choose to negotiate with Sheev Palpatine and jointly eliminate the human empire that belongs to the "foreign invaders"?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Mothma decisively suppressed it.

Because her original intention of establishing the Rebel Alliance with senators and heroes was to liberate the galaxy and resist the oppression of hegemony, rather than for her own selfish power control.

Cooperating with Palpatine would be tantamount to betraying the original intention and beliefs of the Rebel Alliance.

There was no immediate response from Mothma next.

A fierce ideological struggle was going on in her mind, trying to find a balance in the complex situation.

After a long while, she spoke again and said, “Sir Magnus, we need time to consider.

The Rebel Alliance exists to resist the oppression of hegemony. If our cooperation only causes the galaxy to shift from one hegemony to another, then what is the meaning of such cooperation? "

There was a hint of expectation in her tone, as if she hoped to get a "positive" response from the Human Empire.

And Magnus' answer will determine the final choice of the Rebel Alliance.

Magnus still maintained a deliberate smile and responded: "I understand your concerns.

But remember, and I don't want to repeat myself, the goal of our human empire is not oppression, but order and unity.

We are willing to cooperate with all forces committed to peace and justice, but the premise is that you must accept our leadership, understand? "

After that, Mothma fell silent again.

However, Magnus did not give her much time to think, and added: “You have two minutes to think about it.

Otherwise, we will end the negotiations, and we do not want to see your rebel allies appear in the next war, otherwise we will take coercive measures. "

"."

With only two minutes to consider, Mothma hesitated for a moment.

Her mind was racing, trying to find a "balance point" within such a tight time frame.

But two minutes was clearly not enough.

The Rebel Alliance is not decided by her alone. She needs to discuss with the governors of planets and galaxies who secretly support the Rebel Alliance, and also ask the senior generals of the Rebel Army for their opinions.

This is a major decision concerning the future of the entire alliance and must not be taken rashly.

And even if she hadn't negotiated with the generals, Mothma could imagine how the generals would react once she conveyed Magnus's original words.

Those passionate warriors, those generals who are willing to sacrifice their lives for freedom and justice, will probably immediately want to "compete" with the Human Empire out of resentment.

They will never easily accept the "commanded cooperation" of the Human Empire, nor will they be willing to become vassals of others.

This put Mothma in a dilemma.

She had thought that the Human Empire would be as "easy to talk to" as other civilizations and forces, and would at least give a certain degree of respect and autonomy in cooperation.

However, Magnus in front of him showed a completely different attitude

Strong, arbitrary, and even with a hint of unquestionable cruelty.

The most important thing is that the base of their Rebel Alliance was exposed to the Human Empire for various reasons.

They simply could not carry out large-scale transfers in a short period of time.

Moreover, even if they completed the transfer at the fastest speed, it would be difficult for them to avoid the lock of the human empire.

Through the major's report, Mothma deduced that the Human Empire was about to build a "defense chain" on key planets such as Eidu, Jedha, and Scarif, and Yavin 4 happened to be in a relatively core and critical position.

This means that whether the Rebel Alliance agrees to cooperate or not, they cannot avoid the fact that the Human Empire is "involved" in Yavin 4.

At this moment, Magnus' voice sounded again:

"Time waits for no one, Commander Mothma, and our goal is unity and order, not endless negotiations.

If you cannot make a decision in a short period of time, we can only regard it as you giving up the opportunity to cooperate. "

At this point, Magnus lowered his voice and reminded: "Our human empire will continue to expand according to the original procedures and steps. If you, the Rebel Alliance, dare to get in the way, we will destroy you as well."

"This"

Mothma instinctively wanted to say "I'm sorry, but when she saw the major, Cassian and others standing on the bridge of the Omniscient Arcanum, she couldn't say a word in response.

Because once Magnus's imperative suggestion is rejected, the few elite troops in the Rebel Alliance will be directly "detained" by the other side, which will undoubtedly weaken the Rebel Alliance, whose combat power is already "stretched to the limit".

Seeing that time was running out and Magnus's intimidation, Mothma had no choice but to calm Magnus down for the time being, reluctantly agreed with a wry smile, and said:

"In that case, our Rebel Alliance is willing to follow your command."

"very good."

Magnus seemed to have known the other party would give such a reply, and he also smiled, preparing to discuss the next direction of attack with Mothma.

At the same time, he also asked the intelligent AI to remind the Primarch of the Imperial Fists, Dorn, to send a company to Yavin 4 as soon as possible for "support".
