Chapter 636: Pay the price for what you did
With the fall of Alpha V, the sixth activation key was reduced to dust.
Ivan's face turned dark as he looked at the super defense activation progress bar in his hand that instantly dimmed, and punched the command desk.
There was a loud "clang" and everyone shuddered with fear.
"Major General Ivan?"
Ivan took a deep breath and looked at the situation again.
The situation is still one of the enemy being weak and we being strong. The red forces are crisscrossed and have gradually been forced into the eastern theater.
However, the time is no longer there.
Although the federal rescue was "late", it finally arrived, and it was no longer possible to expect them to use up their ammunition depot.
If the fight continues, both sides will suffer.
"Let's negotiate," Ivan said through gritted teeth.
"What a pity! If the sixth key was still there, they would never be given room for negotiation..."
Ironically, there were quite a few familiar faces sitting in the Galactic Empire's holographic conference.
“Yo…”
Nie Guansheng walked casually in the hall and whistled: "Secretary-General, we meet again?"
Gutvis's old face was wrinkled a little ugly, and he couldn't help but glance at the crowd of people from the Federation, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Nie Guansheng had just walked past him when he suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, took two steps back, and leaned over to ask Gutvis, "Who does the Secretary-General seem to be expecting?"
Gutvis wanted him to disappear immediately, so he politely laughed it off, "No, no, the Federation's location is up ahead, Colonel Nie, please..."
Nie Guansheng raised a finger, squinting his eyes with a cheerful expression: "There's an old friend you'd definitely like to meet."
Gutvis' heart skipped a beat, as if he had a feeling that he probably didn't want to see him.
Nie Guansheng liked to see the expressions of these old guys who looked like they couldn't hold their urine, so he sent a meeting invitation to Yun Mo in front of him.
A virtual soldier figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall.
Guttweis's face looked unnatural at that moment.
He knew that encountering this person from the Nie family would be bad luck. Where was their negotiating representative? Why did they have to let this person out?
When they were on the planet Gliese, it was his first time to mediate between Ivan and Lian Yi.
He deliberately favored Alpha, so he picked Yunmo as a soft persimmon and wanted to squeeze her.
Who knew that it was not an easy lamp to use?
He had been cutting leeks for years, and he almost had his pants cut off. Afterwards, he carefully studied the resume of the female soldier and realized that he had made a mistake...
At this moment, seeing this face that couldn't be more familiar, Gutvis felt a little guilty.
The atmosphere in the conference room was tense, with Federation and Alpha sitting on either side, and both sides looked unhappy.
Following this, there are planets such as Shaliya, Tuyendi, Fuso, etc., which are basically representatives of the planets that participated in this Wolf War.
Considering that video conferencing login and logout efficiency is extremely high and will not affect external battles, many planets have even dispatched wartime commanders to directly participate in the negotiations.
As the Secretary General of the Galactic Empire, Gutvis sat in the center and cleared his throat:
"Alpha has submitted a ceasefire and armistice application. Peace and stability are the foundation of the Galactic Empire's development. As the Imperial Council, we agree with Mr. Ivan's proposal that the warring parties should sit down and negotiate. With Wolfe's 20th meridian as the reference point, each side should withdraw one intercontinental missile range unit..."
Nie Guansheng casually flipped through the conditions and curled his lips: "Not allowing the Federation to completely control the East Mali war zone?"
He glanced at Ivan coldly: "Are you dreaming?!"
Ivan's face was also cold. Without saying a word, he possessed and pushed over a light computer with a map displayed on the interface.
Yun Mo tilted her head towards Nie Guansheng, drawing a line in the air with her index finger: "Tsk..."
Ivan twitched his lips and stared at them arrogantly. "As shown on the map, you will give up the Wolfe Western Hemisphere and use the empty space between the 20th meridian as a supplement to my Alpha."
Nie Guansheng threw the laptop back with a snap. "Since you're so confident, what else is there to discuss?"
Ivan raised his eyelids and said, "You've probably forgotten that the Federation's military forces have been infinitely compressed to the East District, haven't you?"
Nie Guansheng folded his arms across his chest, leaned back, and uttered only one word faintly: "Oh."
That look clearly revealed a message - weren't you the one who took the initiative to ask for peace talks?
Ivan narrowed his eyes fiercely and stopped talking.
Neither of them was a good-tempered person, and neither side would give in.
The negotiation room fell into an eerie silence, and the thirty-minute silence made Gutvis very uncomfortable.
He felt as if he was sitting on a burnt potato, and no matter how he moved, his butt would get burned.
If the Federation and Alpha really start a fight and it develops into a war across the entire empire, it will probably be another beginning for humanity to destroy habitable planets and search for a new home.
His eyes swept over Yun Mo intentionally or unintentionally. Although there were several women sitting in this room, they were obviously politicians, and there was shrewdness in their eyes.
Compared with those old foxes with sharp faces, there is only this one who looks young and gentle.
Even though he knew that she might be more cunning than anyone else, at least that slightly childish face allowed him to deceive himself.
Gutvis smiled tentatively at Yun Mo: "Major Yun, is there anything you want to say?"
Yun Mo raised her eyelids. Oh, the old man was looking for her for a breakthrough again?
She smiled faintly and clicked on the map to enlarge it on the screen. "There's a term in the world called strategic abandonment."
"Our Federation retreated to the East District. We were not forced to do so, but chose to give up."
"If Major General Ivan feels he has the upper hand, then I'd like to ask: Why did Alpha take over the Banyi, Wujia, and Xitai lines, only to return? Why did you retreat to the Loomis area and then retreat another hundred kilometers?"
"Let's go even further. The asteroid belt of XJ01-13 is now entirely under the Federation's control. If you can't capture Wolf within an hour, I can guarantee you 80% that the outcome of this battle will be decided by the Federation!"
She paused. "Then, Major General Ivan, do you think you can activate the super defense in one hour? Or, in one hour, can you completely uproot the Federation's garrison in Wolfe?"
"If not..." She tapped the table with her index finger. "We're willing to talk, but we don't want to increase casualties on both sides. I think you can show some sincerity..."
"If not..." She turned to look at Nie Guansheng: "Colonel Nie, what do you think?"
Nie Guansheng snorted, "Hmph," and finally gave Ivan a look, emphasizing each word: "I'll fight you as long as you want. I'll fight you however you want!"
Joseden glanced at Ivan cautiously, "Major General?"
Ivan also twitched his lips: "Okay, since you mentioned the situation, then I will discuss it with you."
"The Wolfe civil unrest has lasted for so many years. Has your Federation ever ended it? Do you have the ability to end it?"
"The five major Wolfe factions are each acting independently. If you add me, Alpha, into the mix, how many lives do you think the Federation has enough to bury here?"
"You've already got the uninhabited planet. Wolf, I only want half of it. If you don't agree, we can set off a few more ICBM fireworks. Do you like that?"
The two sides exchanged words, and both understood that ceasefire was the best option at the moment.
After eight hours of negotiations, they finally settled on the 20th meridian as the baseline, with each side retreating one range unit. No one was allowed to easily tread within these two range units...
However, the Federation had clearly suffered a loss in this confrontation, and Nie Guansheng was naturally dissatisfied. He turned to look at Yun Mo and said, "Since Major General Ivan has agreed to discuss one more condition, what do you think would be a good proposal?"
Yun Mo glanced at Tu Yandi with ill intent. Anyadi's avatar was sitting upright on a chair.
Yun Mo recalled the thrilling experience of being forced to walk through the Tail Flower Star Region, and remembered President Nabaruzang who had made things difficult for Wang Shaojie...
Her hand gently circled a small area on the BPS 01 route: "My Federation will establish a base at coordinates BPS23..."
"Why?" Anyadi stood up.
If I was just watching a show, I feel a little anxious now.
Route 01 was the economic lifeline of his Tuyandi, controlling numerous trade routes within the Tilting Flower Star Region. The Federation's reinforcements were blocked during the Wolfe War, largely due to the blockade here. How could he possibly let it go?
"What did Major General Ivan say?" Gutvis ignored Anyadi.
The location chosen by Yun Mo was not within the territory of Tu Yan Di's planet.
Ivan's goal has been achieved. The advantage of the East Mali war zone is no longer there. All he wants is to use Wolf as a base to offset the Federation's strategic threat to the Alpha capital star.
As for the others... haha, what's more, Tu Yandi is a notorious fence-sitter.
Guttweis breathed a sigh of relief as all parties finally signed the armistice agreement.
The Star Network was in turmoil, and Tu Yandi was jumping up and down in anger: "Why? Why? How can this be possible?"
Why are they fighting over my territory?!
Yun Mo replied calmly, "You'll have to pay for what you've done."
