After dealing with Qian Donghua's affairs, Armenia became Zheng Gan's focus of work during this period.
It is still unknown when Hoglas's second wave of attack will take place, and it is also unclear how many troops will be sent, so the defense system within the galaxy is crucial.
On the other side, the Wandering Earth is also transforming the Earth according to plan. When the transformation is successful, when you look at the Earth from outer space again, the picture that appears in your eyes will be a glowing sphere.
This routine life lasted for about a year. There was no movement at all during the year, which made Zheng Gan a little unsure of what Hoglas's plan was.
Logically speaking, with Hoglas's level of technology, this distance of hundreds or thousands of light years should not be a problem.
In response to this unexpected situation, Zheng Gan also ordered the fleet to be on high alert, believing that it is better to be cautious.
This situation lasted for about half a month, and then the Three-Body Fleet stationed in the Armenian galaxy received an unfamiliar signal.
The frequency of this signal was consistent with the frequency Zheng Gan had previously discovered in the Hoglas fleet that invaded the Armenian galaxy, which meant that the other party had contacted him on their own initiative.
But after translating the received signal, Zheng Gan was a little amused.
This Hoglas civilization is a little different from what you imagined?
Normally, after the fleet you sent out was completely wiped out, wouldn't you be furious and gather your army to fight back?
However, the message Zheng Gan and his team received translated into something like a request for peace.
This is quite interesting. Although four thousand warships is considered a large force, the losses are far from being so great that a civilization should directly seek peace.
Thinking of this, Zheng Gan's merchant spirit instantly ignited. There was something wrong with this Hoglas civilization.
Either there is a problem internally or externally, otherwise it would be impossible for such a message to be sent suddenly after such a long time.
"Try to engage in normal diplomacy with the other side."
Zheng Gan immediately ordered the Trisolarans to start communicating with the Hogras civilization.
It doesn’t matter to Zheng Gan whether it is a civil war or a foreign war. When is the best time for a businessman to make a fortune?
Isn't it during the war? According to previous combat experience and the historical intelligence collected, this Hogras civilization, in addition to being warlike, has not developed FTL for a long time and has room for improvement in all aspects.
This is a business opportunity for Zheng Gan. Whether it is selling weapons or peddling technology, it is a good choice.
Now we need to find out what the situation is on Hoglas's side, whether it is a battle between two armies or a multi-party melee.
In this way, Zheng Gan can serve the dishes wisely. If the battle situation is stalemate, he will sell to more sides. If there is an advantage and a disadvantage, he will support the disadvantaged side first.
The longer the war lasts, the greater the profit Zheng Gan will make.
However, before that, Zheng Gan needs to collect enough intelligence and demonstrate a certain level of strength.
Insufficient intelligence can easily lead to mistakes, and insufficient strength can lead to murder and robbery. How to strike a balance is also what Zheng Gan needs to consider now.
Unlike the previous time when it took more than a year to release a piece of news, after the Three-Body Fleet took the initiative to send out a friendly communication signal, the other side immediately responded with new news.
The content was also much more than before, and a complete set of diplomatic wording was presented to Zheng Gan "elegantly".
"Hello, stranger friend. We are the Hoglas Transcendents. We are very happy to meet you in this vast universe. We are extremely sorry for our previous unreasonable and cross-border behavior.
…”
A group of transcendents? Zheng Gan suddenly had a different idea about this name.
According to previous information, Hoglas's full name seems to be Hoglas, without this strange suffix.
On the contrary, this group of transcendents is a bit like a force that has become independent from the original civilization.
"Rebels? Or something else?"
Thinking of this, Zheng Gan immediately asked the Trisolarans to reply and continue communication. If it was really an independent force of Hoglas, then there would be a lot of room for maneuver.
After half a month of intensive communication, Zheng Gan and the Hoglas Transcendent have become quite familiar with each other.
The leaders of both sides will have their first round of video calls today.
It is not a particularly easy thing to make a real-time video call when you are thousands of light years away.
First, both sides need to select a neutron star as a signal receiving and transmission station, and then perform a special layer of encryption on the signal.
The interference intensity of the neutron center is not comparable to that of ordinary stars. The reason why this plan was chosen is also a way for Zheng Gan to show off his muscles.
As the blurry image gradually became clear, Zheng Gan also revealed a look of understanding.
Zheng Gan had also seen the appearance of this Hoglas man in the warship he had destroyed before. Although the person in front of him was generally similar to the Hoglas man, there were still obvious differences.
Just as different races have different appearances, this so-called transcendent is different from the previous group of Hogras people.
The reason why different forces have to pay for previous invasions is obviously to fight for legal orthodoxy.
After understanding this logic, Zheng Gan instantly came up with a new plan for Hoglas's foreign policy. Of course, the premise of this plan is that Zheng Gan's guesses are correct and can only be implemented.
While the Trisolarans and the Transcendents were fighting fiercely on the surface, Zheng Gan privately ordered the Trisolarans to continue searching to see if they could receive any other signals from Hograth.
Sure enough, the Trisolarans used a signal frequency slightly different from that of the Hoglas Transcendents to connect to a civilization claiming to be the Hoglas Executors.
That’s not all. By comparing and searching different signal frequencies, we finally found a Hogras civilization that looked like the original one.
Wow, a three-way confrontation, so exciting, so exciting.
Currently, Zheng Gan is communicating with the three Hogras civilizations respectively through the Trisolarans, the Wandering Earth United Government and the Armenians.
According to our understanding, the two civilizations of Hoglas Transcendents and Hoglas Executors are two factions that split from the old Hoglas civilization.
The three parties claimed that they were the orthodox Hogras civilization, so they were hostile to each other and wars continued.
But overall, the old Hogras civilization still has advantages in all aspects, otherwise it would not have the opportunity to launch wars against other countries.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Trisolaran fleet still shocked the Hogras people, so when the Trisolarans contacted several Hogras civilizations, these three civilizations showed considerable attention.
