Chapter 397, Gardner Treaty (If You Like Ni's Smile, You Will Be Rewarded with More Chapters)

"Sincerity is good."

Luo Xiaoyao nodded lightly.

"I don't think we need to discuss the issue of whether the Oaks civilization should bear all the responsibility for this war?"

"We, the Oaks civilization, are willing to bear all the responsibility for this war."

Oye nodded. He had already figured out the matter. It was indeed the Oaks civilization's Aldridge Fleet that first attacked Japan among the earthlings, and then swept through the autumn wind, and finally captured tens of billions of earthlings and sold them as slaves to the interstellar space.

If the war was won, it would be nothing at all, but now it is not only lost, but also a complete defeat. Naturally, even if it was not a war that was provoked by itself, it still has to bear all the responsibility. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

"Yeah."

Luo Xiaoyao nodded with satisfaction.

"As the party that provoked the war and was defeated, the Oaks civilization must cede 200 galaxies in the center of the Gardner galaxy to our Yanhuang Empire as compensation."

It was still a big ask. In fact, the bottom line of the empire was to be satisfied with 50 galaxies at one time. Of course, negotiations are similar to doing business, bargaining, and asking for 200 first.

"200 galaxies? That's too many. Although our Oaks civilization was defeated, it doesn't mean that our Oaks civilization is completely at the mercy of others."

Anyone with a discerning eye can hear the current embarrassment of the Oaks civilization from Oye's words. What does "too many" mean? It's not completely at the mercy of others. The meaning of the words is to bargain.

"Then I wonder how many galaxies your Oaks civilization is going to cede?"

Luo Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, and he naturally heard the meaning of the other party's words.

"30 star systems, all 30 star systems near the Beichuan star system will be ceded to the empire as compensation. Our Oaks civilization is very sincere."

Oye spoke slowly. He had set a bottom line before coming. The Oaks civilization could actually cede hundreds of star systems at most. Because it is now surrounded by enemies, it must deal with the strongest Yanhuang Empire as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Yanhuang Empire destroys hundreds of fleets of the Oaks civilization, the Oaks civilization will be in real danger.

"30 star systems? Too few, too few. The gap between us is too big. I don't think there is any need to talk anymore. I think it might be more appropriate for me to lead my fleet to the central star system of your civilization to talk to your President Augusta."

When Luo Xiaoyao heard this, his face darkened on the spot, and he looked like he was going to leave in anger. In his words, he even threatened to attack the central star system of the Oaks civilization.

"This is easy to negotiate, easy to negotiate. We can cede 50 star systems to your empire."

Seeing that Luo Xiaoyao was about to leave, Oye hurriedly raised the price and added 20 star systems.

"The gap between 50 star systems and 200 star systems is too big. It's a waste of time to talk about it."

Luo Xiaoyao was slightly happy in his heart. At least the bottom line task has been completed. It seems that as long as the negotiation continues, it is entirely possible to get the Oaks civilization to cede more star systems.

"Sir Luo Xiaoyao, our Oaks civilization is really sincere in making friends with your civilization, but these 200 star systems are too many. Why don't we both take a step back?"

Oye was also anxious and had no choice. Who told him that his army didn't win the battle? He was not strong enough, so he naturally said so when he spoke.

"In that case, your civilization only needs to cede 150 star systems to our empire. If it's less, I can't report to our empire."

Luo Xiaoyao pondered for a while, and nodded slowly, lowering his requirements.

"150 galaxies? That's still a lot. In the war on our secondary spiral arm, we never talked about ceding 150 galaxies at once. Our Ox civilization cannot accept such a huge demand for ceding territory."

Oye looked very embarrassed. 150 galaxies were still a long way from the bottom line, so he had to continue the discussion. It seemed that Luo Xiaoyao was willing to bargain.

"Then how many galaxies are you willing to cede? If it's still 50 galaxies, I think I will go to your President Augusta to negotiate in person. I think he should be happy to accept the conditions proposed by our empire, and by that time it won't be ceding 150 galaxies."

Liu Xuling spoke softly, still the same trick, showing his fist directly, letting the other party know who is the winner now.

"100 star systems, one more star system, even if we have to sacrifice everything, our Ox civilization will fight you to the end."

Oye was filled with anger, but he had no way to vent it. The other party was not negotiating at all. He kept saying that he wanted to attack the Ox star system and negotiate with Augusta in person. Every sentence was full of threats, but Oye felt helpless because he didn't dare to take risks. If the negotiations failed and the Yanhuang Empire attacked the Ox star system...

"100 star systems, a big profit."

Luo Xiaoyao, Liu Xuling and others were all ecstatic. The Oaks civilization actually agreed to cede 100 galaxies, which was far beyond their expectations.

"100 galaxies? Well, just 100 galaxies, but you, the Oaks civilization, need to evacuate all your people from these 100 galaxies within 5 years, and the other 100 galaxies must be centered on the Gardner galaxy and close to the Beichuan galaxy."

On the surface, Luo Xiaoyao pretended to ponder, then slowly nodded and agreed, and put forward some additional small conditions. 100 galaxies were obtained, but the Oaks civilization empire on these 100 galaxies did not want them.

"I can agree to these conditions."

Oye breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, the negotiation was more difficult to negotiate, but the other conditions were relatively easier to negotiate.

"Second, the Oaks civilization needs to pay our empire 100 trillion yuan worth of goods as war reparations to compensate for our empire's losses this time."

Next, let's talk about the issue of reparations. Because their currencies are different, and the other party's currency is definitely useless, so goods must be used to pay war reparations.

"100 trillion yuan of goods? I don't know if we can use our Oaks civilization currency to pay. Our Oaks civilization currency is universal throughout the sub-spiral arm, and many civilizations are very welcome to use our Oaks civilization currency."

"And if you pay with goods, settlement will definitely be very troublesome. We don't know what goods your empire needs, and it may take a long time."

Oye used his politician skills and knew that paying with Oaks civilization currency would definitely reduce the loss to the minimum, but if you use goods to pay, this is not all goods that the Yanhuang Empire will accept. At that time, the 100 trillion yuan of reparations may require 200 trillion, 300 trillion, or even 100 trillion goods to complete the war reparations.

"We only want goods, and the value of all goods is determined by our empire. Your civilization must also transport enough goods to the galaxies designated by our empire within three years to complete the war reparations."

Although Luo Xiaoyao is a soldier and does not understand these things, there are experts from the empire who have given Luo Xiaoyao special explanations and instructions in advance, so he also knows that the knowledge in interstellar war reparations is very profound, so he must strive for the right to set the price.

"In this case, we have no objection to this one."

Oye frowned and finally nodded in agreement. Even 100 galaxies have been ceded, so this amount of reparations is nothing. After all, the Oaks civilization is a huge civilization with thousands of galaxies, with vast land and resources. The war reparations of 100 trillion goods can still be easily completed.

"Soon, since you have agreed to our conditions, as long as you fulfill this contract as soon as possible, our empire will no longer attack your empire."

Luo Xiaoyao smiled, with a very satisfied look on his face.

However, Oye felt it was very unexpected, because there were only two conditions, one was to cede land, and the other was to pay compensation, and there were no other conditions. Oye thought that the Empire would put forward other conditions, but he didn't expect that there were only two conditions. This was too unexpected.

"Does your Empire need us to send the captured Earthlings back to their original galaxies and planets?"

Oye thought for a while and asked, fearing that Luo Xiaoyao would forget this important matter and find an excuse to raise troops again in the future.

"No need for this. Since they were defeated by you and became interstellar slaves, it means that this is their fate and they can't blame others. You can do whatever you want."

"However, please ask if there are any descendants of Yan and Huang. If there are, please help send them back to our empire. We will be grateful."

Luo Xiaoyao thought about it and added one more thing. Luo Xiaoyao would not care about the life and death of non-descendants of Yan and Huang. He even hoped that the Ox civilization would slowly kill these people. However, the incident happened suddenly at that time, and there must be more or less descendants of Yan and Huang who may have become interstellar slaves. After all, there are still foreigners in China and several other countries, so it is better to help as much as possible.

"Of course there is no problem. I wonder if there are any other terms?"

Oye nodded and agreed, and then asked again.

"As long as you can complete the above requirements according to the contract, our empire will not attack your civilization again."

Luo Xiaoyao shook his head. It was enough to get 100 galaxies and 100 trillion war reparations.

Soon, Oye, Osweid, Oren and others represented the Oaks Civilization and Luo Xiaoyao, Liu Xuling, Li Wandu, Lin Xiaolin, Han Guangbo and others represented the Yanhuang Empire. The two sides signed the "Gardner Conditions" and officially announced that they had reached a settlement.
