Unexpected allies

  Soon, these giant squids received this [ultimatum]!

  "...The ultimatum actually asks us to withdraw our troops?! Who do they think they are? And what does this sentence mean?"

  After being attacked by a wave of sneak attacks and blowing up a large drone transfer station, a group of senior leaders of the Apollo civilization gathered together to discuss the problem.

  Each of these big squids was so angry that their faces had turned a dark green color.

  This is a sign of an impending outbreak! These giant squids do indeed spray ink at each other when extremely angry.

  However, they will indeed not launch an attack immediately before they understand the situation. This is still rational, because once the all-out war fails, they cannot afford the consequences!

  These giant squids who wanted to preserve their status finally slowly calmed down and carefully considered the contents of this [ultimatum].

  Now that it has suffered a defeat, internal pressure has begun to increase sharply. Some political opponents are taking the opportunity to cause trouble, claiming that these managers have done nothing and demanding that they step down.

  Appeasing people's hearts has become the most important thing. Apollo civilization is a civilization that advocates freedom and democracy, which means that politicians can easily step down.

  How to appease?

  If there is no special reason, you must severely retaliate against the other party!

  "It's just a bluff...I'm sure they are just bluffing!" One of the largest squids waved his tentacles and said: "They must be bluffing!"

  Another squid said: "Don't worry yet, Planet Five. At the end of this ultimatum, they asked to negotiate...an extra color paper? Don't we know that it is just an excuse to deceive the people?"

  "I'm wondering, is it really possible to negotiate? If we can really get some benefits during the negotiation process, it's actually not bad. At least we don't have to bear the risk of war."

  This big squid interrupted the opponent's words: "What else is there to negotiate? Let's attack directly! I don't believe they have any trump cards! As long as we attack directly, they will definitely escape!"

  "No, the risk is too great. I firmly oppose it!"

  Unconsciously, the noise of these squids became louder and louder, and then their tentacles circled each other and started fighting in the swimming pool. This is also their daily discussion.

  At this time, suddenly a screen next to the swimming pool automatically jumped to a screen: "Reporting to the commander! The new human civilization has sent some communication information!"

  "What other communication is there?" Several squids fighting hand to hand suddenly stopped moving. "Didn't you say there was an ultimatum? Why is it endless?"

  "The new human civilization strongly condemned us, stating that this war has brought them huge losses... and then made a list of losses, demanding compensation from us!"

  List of losses?

  Are you actually asking for compensation? !

  These giant squids were simply puzzled. It was clearly a sudden attack by a new human civilization, but they actually claimed that they had suffered huge losses. How could they be so shameless!

  After carefully looking at the various lists on the screen, he suddenly realized that the Apollo civilization did not seem to have destroyed so many things. The other party was naked blackmail!

  "Attack them directly and let them know how powerful we are!"

  "Wait a minute, Planet Five, this list is still very beneficial to us..."

  One of the big squids suddenly seemed to think of something, and his voice suddenly dropped. His dark eyeballs rolled a few times: "Since it is a loss statement issued by the New Humanity, we will directly regard it as our own military merit... If this list is released to the media, we will seem to have become a big Win the battle."

  "This military merit can at least silence the mouths of those who make trouble!"

  The rest of the Apollo planets were immediately speechless.

  This method seems... feasible?

  Now the pressure from within the civilization is too great. The soldiers of the Apollo civilization feel that they have lost the battle because the managers are incompetent. As a result, with this list, it became a serious victory again!

  Although it is indeed complicated to operate, it is still very feasible...

  "Really do this?!"

  "With our control capabilities, is it possible?"

  "Of course you can, as long as you control the media! It is impossible for the new human civilization to know our internal affairs... Since it is the battle damage list issued by the other party, it is impossible for our internal personnel not to believe it."

  It's really like this!

  It's impossible for those damn political enemies to directly say that they are collaborating with the enemy, right? If you say something like this without evidence, you will get backlash!

  These big squids all immersed themselves in thinking, analyzing the pros and cons, and increasingly felt that this plan was feasible.

  "Then let's decide like this!" After a while, the atmosphere relaxed again.

  Another giant squid turned over the ultimatum and suddenly said: "I found... they used a new term, alliance? Does the new human civilization have allies?"

  The largest squid cursed: "I'm sure they are just bluffing us... How could there be an extra ally on the way?"

  "Don't be impatient yet!"

  "You all shut up!"

  "Okay, okay, let's stabilize the interior first!"

  …

  In this battle star of the Apollo civilization, a TV speech was quickly broadcast. The supreme leader of the Apollo civilization, "Al Planet Six", claimed that in the just raid war, the soldiers did a good job and obtained A great victory that brought huge damage to the enemy.

  They want to give rewards to soldiers who perform well.

  It even showed the condemnation issued by the new humans.

  The harder the enemy scolds, the happier the people of Apollo's civilization will be.

  The list of losses quickly shut up the mouths of some internal troublemakers... It can't be said that the new human civilization colluded with the high-level officials of the Apollo civilization to issue a false list, right?

  With one operation, a defeat really turned into a victory, and the internal public sentiment finally stabilized.

  On the other hand, out of caution, the Apollo civilization relied on the forces behind it to start investigating whether the new human civilization had any so-called allies.

  This news is very important!

  The result...beyond their expectations, there were actually clues!

  Twelve hours later, about 20 giant squids gathered inside a swimming pool and began a very important internal meeting in a serious manner.

  A deputy reported from the front of the swimming pool: "First of all, this new human civilization seems to... indeed have an ally."

  The squid, which at first believed that humans were just bluffing, was shocked: "How do you know? Where did you get the news?"

  "It's news from the Curvature Organization..."

  "Curvature tissue? What curvature tissue?"

  It is the organization that signed the "Warp Non-Proliferation Treaty".

  When New Humanity explained the source of its curvature technology, it said, "New Humanity civilization and another civilization jointly accelerated the collision of neutron stars."

  "So, the so-called other civilization has a certain probability of being an ally of the new human civilization."

  The information that was inadvertently exposed at that time has now shocked the Apollo civilization.

  All the giant squids had dark green faces and were silent.

  This possibility is extremely high. Obtaining curvature technology together is indeed a very deep friendship.

  "Could it be fake news? They deliberately spread fake news?"

  "impossible!"

  It was the new human civilization that signed the "Warp Non-Proliferation Treaty" first, and it was the military threat from the Apollo civilization that was encountered later. It is impossible for new humans to predict the future and spread false news from the beginning.

  Therefore, the senior leaders of the Apollo civilization have great trust in the source of this news.

  This news scared them to death. Think about it, if another level 4 civilization appeared when the two armies went to war, then the Apollo civilization would have suffered heavy losses...
