What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table. This is a very simple truth.
But Luo Hai's answer made several novice colleagues even more confused.
"It's impossible that they don't know this truth, but why are they still so determined? Why don't they retreat at all? Aren't they afraid that we will beat them again?"
"So, this is a routine." Luo Hai sneered: "Starting a fight if we can't reach an agreement on an issue? It's not such a child's play.
They just raised an issue that we would never agree to - they also knew that we would never agree to it. They first put on a firm appearance, and when necessary, left the meeting in anger to put pressure on us until the negotiations actually started.
When you can't go on, take the initiative to make concessions, bring up next-level issues, press again, make gestures, and give in again, until we agree.
This process may be repeated several times, or even dozens or dozens of times. Their true bottom line is hidden in these setbacks. It is a pity that the leader prohibits us from using technical means to eavesdrop, otherwise, we will know their secrets in advance.
Bottom line, there is no need to be so long-winded in negotiations."
The novice colleagues looked at each other: "So, our coming here this time is completely meaningless? It is impossible to achieve results in this negotiation?"
"It's meaningful. What does it mean to be meaningless?" Luo Hai said immediately: "You ate five steamed buns before you were full. The first four steamed buns were meaningless? Without this time and again, how could the final agreement be reached?"
A colleague admired: "Team Leader Luo, you are so awesome."
"Learn more."
This day's negotiation ended here. The next day, the second negotiation started again.
As expected, today's talks still yielded no results. The final outcome still ended with the negotiator of the Basil Tisza civilization leaving the meeting angrily.
Returning to Xiatandi, at the regular meeting, Luo Hai discovered that not only his own group, but also other groups were facing situations similar to his own.
After killing time like this, for a full half a month, this round of negotiations officially ended. After that, Basiltisa Civilization held a grand farewell banquet, and issued a joint communiqué of the eight major civilizations at the banquet.
The communiqué stated that all parties to the eight major civilizations held multiple rounds of talks in a friendly atmosphere. Each party frankly stated its position and exchanged views on a series of major issues. All parties agreed to maintain smooth communication and discuss issues when appropriate.
It is an opportunity to once again start negotiations on "comprehensive trade" matters.
After that, the negotiation team led by a government member of the human civilization set out to return. After that, Basletissa and the other six civilizations jointly announced that in order to better play the role of the "United Civilizations" in maintaining peace in the nebula,
At the same time, to strengthen exchanges and communication among civilizations and enhance mutual trust, the seven major civilization coalitions will launch a joint military exercise at the edge of the galaxy in seven days.
The announcement specifically emphasized that this is a peaceful military exercise, a united military exercise, everything is for peaceful purposes and does not target any civilization or force.
At the same time, human civilization has also publicly announced that, also in seven days, human civilization will conduct a test of a new type of weapon in a certain specified area. In order to prevent accidental injuries and ensure safety, it is required that during the test period, any unrelated aircraft are strictly prohibited
near.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, more than 30 high-precision full-band remote observation equipment, including the Deep Space 7 optical telescope and the Deep Space 7a large radio array telescope, were simultaneously aimed at the joint military exercise area of the seven major civilizations.
In addition, many spy satellites and detection ships have sailed very close to conduct on-site detection.
In the Space Force Strategic Research Office, all the staff members looked angry after the relevant information was sent back.
The reason is very simple. Under the various observation equipment of human civilization, this military exercise was watched by humans almost from beginning to end. So people discovered that the script of this military exercise turned out to be three fleets of mediocre spaceships.
An exercise to encircle and suppress an elite fleet with outstanding spaceship performance.
During the military exercise, the fleet with outstanding battleship performance clashed left and right, and even relied on its tyrannical performance to almost forcefully open a gap. However, although the performance of the three battleships was mediocre, the fleet had three times the number.
With their exquisite cooperation, they finally relied on their numerical superiority to slowly squeeze the elite fleet's space for movement. In the end, they relied on the elite fleet's shortcomings of insufficient logistical supplies to defeat it in one fell swoop.
"The total number of troops of the seven major civilization coalitions is almost three times that of ours."
"Our logistical supplies are far inferior to theirs."
"This is clearly a show for us!"
"Didn't we already know this?"
"These stupid aliens dare to scare us with their numbers!"
At the same time, military scientists, strategists, tactical analysts, senior generals, staff officers and others from the seven major civilizations gathered together at the military flagship of Basiltisa Civilization.
Regardless of their physical structure, everyone showed intense anger behind the space suit.
Through long-range observation equipment, short-range spy equipment, etc., the detection forces of the seven major civilizations clearly observed the entire process of this new weapon test by human civilization.
It was a new type of weapon that was used by human civilization to win the battle in one fell swoop in the battle to defend Planet 16 - it was called a nano cloud, and it was a test of an improved model of this weapon.
In this weapons test, the targets were about 300 warships with relatively backward performance. The targets were 100 warships with relatively advanced performance equipped with new weapons.
During the weapons test, the three hundred warships tried to squeeze the activity space of the advanced warships through cooperation and containment, relying on their numerical advantage. But during this process, new nano-cloud weapons were released,
Under the attack of nanorobots, the performance and combat power of these 300 warships were once again weakened. The 100 warships relied on this to forcefully break through the encirclement, launch a counterattack, and finally win the victory in one fell swoop.
"Snapped!"
An officer from the Basilissa Civilization slapped his scaly palms hard on the table.
"This is humiliation, serious humiliation!"
"Human civilization is demonstrating against us!"
"Our total number of warships is almost three times theirs!"
"Hmph, it's great to have new weapons!"
"What a lousy human being!"
The military exercises and weapons tests were both over. Almost half a month later, the eight major civilizations issued another joint announcement.
The second round of negotiations has begun.
This time, human civilization is the home field.
Seven large passenger spaceships set sail from their respective civilization bases and arrived at the spacecraft specially used by human civilization to receive other civilizations.
This time, the human side was still received by the previous government member. Luo Hai was still one of them.
"On behalf of human civilization, I warmly welcome representatives of civilizations who are also members of the Iron Blood Nebula. This will definitely be a successful negotiation, a friendly negotiation..."
For these visitors, the human side also gave them extremely high courtesy. After that, Luo Hai greeted those very familiar faces with a smile on his face.
In the first round of negotiations, these people left the meeting angrily several times, forcing the negotiations to be temporarily suspended. During the negotiations, the two sides were at war with each other several times, just like enemies.
But now, everyone is filled with an aura of friendship. Everyone uses a standard handshake to express greetings to Luo Hai, just like old friends they haven't seen for a long time.
But all the cordial and friendly atmosphere disappeared once again after the negotiations began.
"The use of Human Coin as the settlement currency cannot be changed! But as compensation, we are willing to open up the purchase rights for a batch of high-precision equipment. You can then use Human Coin to purchase directly."
"Basil dollars must be used as the settlement currency! As a step back, we can tolerate the inclusion of human coins into the settlement currency, but we just need to agree on the exchange ratio between the two currencies."
…
"You have no sincerity in conducting this negotiation!"
"We have made enough concessions!"
Luo Hai slapped the table angrily and led a group of colleagues to leave the table angrily.
The second round of negotiations once again ended without any resolution.
However, in this second round of negotiations, compared to the first round of negotiations, the price tags of both parties were unknowingly loosened.
If in the first round of negotiations, the conditions for human civilization are 10, and the conditions for Basiltisa civilization and several other civilizations are 1, and the difference between the two is 9, then in this round of negotiations, the conditions for human civilization will change.
It became 9, and on the side of Basiltisa Civilization, it became 2. The difference between the two sides was only 7.
After this, the third round of negotiations started again at the edge of the galaxy. Then came the fourth round, the fifth round...
In the fourth round, the two sides finally reached an agreement on some marginal issues. Although this does not have much practical significance, it is full of symbolic significance. At least, the negotiations finally made substantial progress.
In the subsequent rounds of negotiations, new issues continued to be agreed upon.
It was not until the seventeenth round that the most core issues were finally discussed and conditions acceptable to both parties were reached.
For example, in terms of settlement currency.
The two parties finally agreed to use human currency as the settlement currency, but the human side also made many concessions. For example, the purchasing power of human currency must be guaranteed. At the same time, an average of no less than 1 trillion human currency needs to be imported from the Basiltisa civilization every year.
Materials other than basic resources, etc.
After his "little brothers" finally completed the negotiations, Zhao Changxing, the "boss", could finally come forward.
In a neutral area on the edge of the Basil Tissa galaxy, civilization leaders such as Zhao Changxing, Basil, and Salik finally gathered together and signed their names on the agreement in the standard way of their own civilization.
This scene was transmitted to every corner of the Loletisa galaxy through ubiquitous media, and also to the residences of other civilizations such as Dark Moon Civilization, Moyun Litar Civilization, Moto Civilization, and also to those who have not joined the Iron Blood
Where is the civilization of the Nebula Civilization Federation?
"Finally, we can integrate the technology trees of many civilizations in a peaceful way."
