Chapter 332 Final Judgment

"In this way, you humans will not suffer too much loss, which is considered to be a win-win situation.

The Hongyang side received compensation and apology, which saved face and was considered to be a reasonable explanation to the inside. In this way, internal public opinion can be calmed down and the war can be eliminated."

The envoy's face was serious.

Liu Yuan's expression gradually became serious.

He could not agree to the request of the Yunguang civilization envoy. Because from the beginning, the Hongyang civilization blocked the way for out-of-court settlement, human civilization to get the inside, and Hongyang civilization to get the face.

The key lies in the four clauses.

If the initial request for the lawsuit was only to ask for compensation for personnel pensions, then this plan could still be discussed.

But with the addition of the subsequent three clauses, this has already forced humans into a dead end, and they can only fight to the end and cannot give in.

Hongyang civilization was so excessive at the beginning, and you humans actually gave in in the end?

Once you give in, how can human civilization deal with it?

The most critical point is that it was the Hongyang people who took the initiative to escalate the situation to the current uncontrollable situation where they cannot step down.

This could not help but make Han Yang feel a sense of conspiracy.

But he did not directly reject Envoy Yun Guang, but said: "I need to discuss it with my colleagues. I will give you an answer tomorrow."

"Okay."

He directly summoned all the ruling committee members and told them what Envoy Yun Guang said, and everyone fell into contemplation together.

Something is wrong, something is wrong.

At this moment, Han Yang's brain was running wildly. One model after another was established, and one after another was overturned.

"We have reason to believe that the Hongyang people knew that we could not agree to their out-of-court settlement conditions, but they still took the initiative to escalate the situation, so that it is now out of control.

I think the essence of this incident is that the Hongyang civilization is looking for an excuse for war.

The Hongyang civilization wants to start a war against us."

But... what is the reason? Why?

If it is said that it is because humans have robbed the Hongyang people's business and the Hongyang people cannot swallow this breath, this reason will not be believed by children.

Even...

Now Han Yang suspects that this incident was a trap from the beginning.

At the beginning, the Hongyang people asked humans to participate in the planet transformation project in order to let humans know that they planned to supply biological resources to the Yunguang people on a large scale;

Later, in the Hongyang galaxy, the incident that caused the death of more than 20 human engineers, Han Yang also had reason to suspect that it was intentional by the Hongyang people, and the purpose was to stimulate the desire for revenge in humans.

Even the loopholes in the contract signed between Hongyang and humans regarding icy asteroids and non-icy asteroids may have been left intentionally, in order to relieve the worries of humans' revenge.

In this way, the three parties acted together, and the human side really fell into the trap and retaliated, venting their anger while snatching the business of the Hongyang people.

Thus, an excuse was created for the Hongyang people to escalate the situation. They chose to sue the Silver Alliance Court and deliberately created public opinion within the civilization.

At this moment, as long as humans rejected the mediation of the Yunguang civilization and the Silver Alliance Court ruled that the Hongyang people lost the case, the reason for the Hongyang people to launch a civilization war would be ripe.

Could it be that... all of this is paving the way for the final war?

But it's still the same question, what's the reason?

Before participating in the planetary transformation project of Hongyang Civilization, human civilization and Hongyang Civilization had no contact at all, and there was no so-called hatred at all.

Han Yang recalled the strange star disappearance incident in Ophiuchus when human civilization was about to join the Silver Alliance.

In that incident, Han Yang suspected that there was a shadow of Level 6 civilization behind it.

Now, Hongyang Civilization deliberately launched a war. Is it related to the strange incident at that time?

"At this point, we still need to be vigilant about another possibility."

A ruling committee member's tone was slightly heavy: "We can't rule out the possibility that Yunguang Civilization also played a role in this."

Han Yang also had this idea.

At the beginning, it was you Yunguang people who showed interest in the three creatures on Earth, rabbits, sheep, and elephants, that we retaliated against Hongyang people.

Your Yunguang civilization has always maintained a good relationship with Hongyang civilization. Hongyang civilization has purchased a lot of technology from you, and has almost become half of your vassal. Now, you are helping Hongyang civilization to propose mediation conditions to us.

Could it be that the Yunguang Civilization is behind all this?

But the question remains, what is the purpose?

At the current stage, there is too little intelligence, and Han Yang really cannot see the future situation clearly.

Even the speculation at this moment is just a speculation, and it is impossible to determine its authenticity.

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Han Yang finally made a decision.

"Out-of-court settlement is not feasible."

He shook his head: "Let alone the issue of international impact, we cannot explain it within the civilization alone.

Now the civilization is developing well and the spirit is high. Once we agree to the out-of-court settlement conditions of the Hongyang people, our civilization will also suffer a major blow. Once this spirit is leaked, I don’t know how long it will take to get it back in the future.

Even... maybe this is the purpose of the Hongyang people."

The ruling committee members nodded heavily.

Even if all this is a conspiracy of the Hongyang people, or even the Yunguang people, they did not leave any other choice for humans.

There is only one choice, if you Hongyang people want to fight, then fight.

We will know what your conspiracy is after the war.

Or do you Hongyang people really have the confidence to defeat us?

At this moment, with the birth of the dwarf planet-class battleships, and with the full-scale purchase of scientific and technological data and self-development over the years, the comprehensive strength score of human civilization has reached about 3.62 according to Han Yang's own estimation.

Han Yang believes that the public data score of Hongyang civilization is about 3.6. Counting their hidden strength - almost every civilization must have hidden strength, then the comprehensive strength of Hongyang civilization is about 3.7.

This is certainly higher than humans, but Han Yang is not worried at all. Because he is here.

Of course, this does not mean that Han Yang can underestimate Hongyang civilization. Because since Hongyang civilization is so deliberate in launching a war, it should have a certain degree of victory and should have more trump cards.

As for what the trump card is, Han Yang does not know.

But it will not be a technological creation of a fourth-level civilization, nor a battleship or weapon of a fourth-level civilization.

Advanced civilizations can sell technology and services to low-level civilizations, but the Silver Alliance strictly prohibits the sale of specific products.

This is probably considered by the Silver Alliance from the perspective of promoting the development of low-level civilizations. After all, if this ban is not made, the war between low-level civilizations will become who has more money and who can afford more advanced civilization weapons. Who will work hard to develop themselves?

If you don’t develop, it’s like the leeks are unwilling to grow. Where can we harvest the leeks?

After the ruling committee members finally made this decision, the next day, Liu Yuan gave his own reply to the Yunguang civilization envoy in a formal occasion.

"The responsibility for the escalation of the situation lies entirely with the Hongyang side. They should deal with their own problems instead of shifting the blame to us.

There is a proposal for an out-of-court settlement with the Hongyang civilization, but I'm sorry we can't agree to it."

The Hongyang civilization envoy looked directly into Liu Yuan's eyes, and after a long time, he sighed: "We really don't want to see you go to war."

Liu Yuan said solemnly: "We have no intention of starting a war. The initiative to start a war is in the hands of the Hongyang civilization."

"I understand. Then, goodbye."

The Hongyang civilization envoy stood up and left.

From this moment on, the development strategy of human civilization quietly made some adjustments. More industrial forces began to lean towards shipbuilding, and large-scale conscription work was started again.

This time, all the recruits were human warriors, and there were no people from the other three civilizations.

The reason is very simple. At this stage, even if the Hongyang civilization wants to start a war, it only has an excuse for the human civilization.

If the other three civilizations are involved, it means that Hongyang civilization also has an excuse to start a war with the other three civilizations, and humans will definitely not sit idly by, which means that the defense zone will increase dozens of times out of thin air.

Now, we only need to defend our own galaxy.

The risk of war appears, and the war machine is quietly turned on.

"I hope all these preparations will eventually be in vain."

Han Yang sighed in his heart.

On the other hand, Han Yang is also closely following the progress of the Silver Alliance Business Arbitration Court.

This day, the final trial has finally arrived.

The fifth-level civilization life who served as the judge finally made a ruling on the lawsuit that has been entangled for hundreds of years: "It is now ruled that Hongyang civilization has insufficient evidence and cannot prove that human civilization has violated the Silver Alliance Business Terms and cannot prove that human civilization has adopted unfair competition methods.

Therefore, the lawsuit request of Hongyang civilization is rejected. The total litigation fee is 230,000 silver coins, which shall be paid by Hongyang civilization within a time limit."

After hearing this ruling, the short Hongyang people all turned pale.

Then the communication was cut off.

Before long, people who had been following the reaction of Hongyang Civilization through public channels saw that the Hongyang Civilization account had issued a declaration of war with extremely fierce words.

"Hongyang Civilization declares war on human civilization from now on!

More than a hundred years ago, human civilization used despicable means to seriously affect the commercial development of our civilization.

And through the bad way of exploiting loopholes, the Silver Alliance Court was unable to uphold justice for us.

We have no intention of questioning the judgment of the Silver Alliance Court, and we fully obey the judgment of the Silver Alliance.

However, escaping the sanctions of the Silver Alliance law through despicable means does not mean escaping the judgment of justice!

We will take back what has been stolen by humans!

We hereby solemnly warn human civilization: surrender to us immediately and make due compensation. Otherwise, you will pay many times the price!" (End of this chapter)
