Chapter 953: Not as Good as Toilet Paper
The two parties who signed the contract were Dexa and Visalani.
The two of them represented the two forces, and they shook hands at the negotiation table with each of them smiling.
Photos of this scene were also taken. I don't know how the Dark Eldar will deal with it, but on the human side, the relevant information will be reported in the news.
Another thing worth mentioning is the background of this photo.
If we remove the two smiling ambassadors shaking hands in the middle of the photo, the overall background of the photo appears to be an execution ground.
At the execution ground, there were twenty-three bodies that could be counted, hanging on the gallows, already dead.
The hanged bodies that were farther away were not very clear, but the one in the front had a clear face.
According to human time, a few weeks ago, she was still a general of the Dark Eldar, calling the shots in the real universe and in the heart of the Alliance. This Eldar general played an indispensable role in changing the Alliance from the arrogant attitude of demanding the Dark Eldar's unconditional surrender to an attitude of willingness to negotiate.
She is the Archon of the Dusk Fang - Isara. The unrestricted warfare she leads in the heart of the Alliance is, to be honest, the biggest source of loss the Alliance has suffered since the start of the Comoros War.
During the peace talks, the Alliance put forward an additional condition: asking the Dark Eldar to hand over Ishara and hang her on the spot during the negotiations.
In the words of the Alliance, 'This is a war criminal hated by all the people of the Alliance', and they demanded that he be publicly executed for war crimes.
Although the two sides were at war, the war was a fight between soldiers. The biggest factor in Isara's numerous crimes in the heart of the alliance was that she attacked civilians and carried out various brutal extermination operations, resulting in more than 7 billion civilian casualties.
The crime is heinous and unforgivable!
Of course, the Dark Eldar could not accept this.
At least they were unwilling to accept it at first.
They certainly realize how vicious this alliance's request is.
The condition for signing the peace talks was to sell out one's own "war heroes". It was such an irony that when the peace treaty was signed, the bodies of the war heroes were hung behind them.
This was definitely a huge blow to the morale of the Dark Eldar and all the forces supporting Victor.
This was completely different from Victor's execution of disobedient people. It was a demonstration of his power, even if it was in a horrific way.
But selling out Isara to humans is a completely different matter.
Victor was forced, and gave in.
This would certainly be a huge loss of authority for a leader who relies on internal authority to rule.
Viselani strongly refuted Dexa's request at first.
She retorted, saying that humans had committed many crimes during their attack on Comoros, especially the several times they used the Earth-blasting Star Destroyer, an extinction-order weapon, to destroy several urban areas and cause a large number of deaths...
But this statement was ruthlessly refuted by Texas.
What civilians do the Dark Eldar have? None.
They are either the ruling class like government officials, or combatants, or slave owners, or secret agents... According to the human definition of civilians, that is, those who have nothing to do with the war, there are really not many of them among the Dark Eldar.
Of course, the Dark Eldar also need to eat, wear clothes, and consume goods, and of course, these require producers.
But in the Dark Eldar society, the producers are not civilians, but slaves, alien slaves.
Among them, more than half of the slaves were humans.
Who makes humans the most numerous and largest race in the real universe?
Dexa took advantage of this incident and made an angry speech, saying that the trial and execution of Isara was a prerequisite for peace talks and could not be compromised. In addition, according to the content of the agreement, the Alliance had extraterritoriality in the "concession" of Comoros. If the Alliance committed a crime or did something wrong, it would be handled according to the laws of the Alliance. If the Dark Eldar committed a crime that had nothing to do with humans, the Dark Eldar would handle it themselves, but if it was related to humans, such as murder or being murdered, or other crimes, it would be under the jurisdiction of the Alliance.
This is not the most humiliating thing. What is more direct is that in Queen Rose Port and Bodhisattva Port, these two places are completely under the jurisdiction of the Alliance. They are regarded as Alliance territory. Whatever the Dark Eldar do in them, they must follow human rules. Humans also have every right not to allow the Dark Eldar to enter these two ports.
According to the treaty, Isara and her troops committed a serious crime in the Alliance's territory. The Alliance did not require all soldiers who participated in the attack on the human world in the real universe to be tried, which was already considering the other party's face.
Now, the alliance has made a huge concession by simply asking for the elimination of the chief evildoer, and it even feels a bit ashamed for the seven billion innocent souls of civilians!
If the Dark Eldar don't even agree to this, it means they have no sincerity in peace talks, so there's no point in talking!
In the end, Veselani, or the dark ruling class behind her, agreed with reluctance.
Isara is a powerful psyker who has undergone Haemolect transformation all over her body, and is also a powerful warrior.
She has the strength to kill an ordinary chapter champion.
Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to "hang" such a being. First, they captured her, injected her with drugs, basically destroyed her body, and then put on magic-proof handcuffs. Under these multiple methods, Isara was already tortured to death.
The final execution was nothing more than a formality.
But formalism itself is very important.
Ishara's death itself was not a big deal. It was a pity that a champion-level individual fighter died, plus an excellent commander, but there was no shortage of replacements among the Dark Eldar.
What the Alliance wanted was her death, to bring negative political impact to the Dark Eldar and to set a big hole for Victor.
In addition to Isara, the other twenty-two hanged bodies were all on the list of "war criminals" provided by the Alliance.
Anyway, even the great general Ishara had been sent out, so the Dark Eldar would naturally satisfy all the remaining needs.
…
Once the peace treaty was signed, the war was indeed settled.
Both sides withdrew their troops from the current battle line. When the alliance army received the order, they began to retreat and handed over several city districts that were in conflict. Even some city districts that were completely captured by the alliance were handed over.
These urban areas themselves are of no significance to the Alliance - as long as they are not in a state of war.
However, some urban areas were not handed over, and the alliance maintained garrisons there.
This is the content of the peace treaty between the two parties.
The Dark Eldar promised to grant eight ports as concessions and promised the Alliance that they would be allowed to unify their control areas of these ports.
The urban areas and blocks preserved by humans or handed over from the Dark Eldar are the ones that connect the eight ports to the Queen's Rose Port.
Before the peace talks, the area occupied by humans in Comoros was about 4% of the entire Comoros. After the peace talks, after the territories were transferred to each other, the area occupied by humans remained at about 4%.
However, the shape has changed. It has changed from being centered on Queen Rose Port and extending to Bodhisattva Port, which looked like a fist as a whole, to now being like a chain, connecting a total of eleven ports as a ground transportation line.
Of course, this is just to facilitate the transportation of materials, personnel and traffic on the road.
If the war breaks out again, such a controlled area is actually quite fragile and can easily be cut off, divided and surrounded by the Dark Eldar.
It's normal to have such concerns.
It is true that a treaty has been signed, but can that piece of paper guarantee peace?
Not even close.
Based on the current conditions, from the perspective of the alliance, Gu Hang is actually barely satisfied.
Satisfied means that the strategic goal has been achieved; reluctantly, it is because he still wants more.
But the alliance also needs to take a breath.
The current alliance can be said to be fighting on five fronts.
Although internal operations are quite good, internal pressure caused by military pressure also exists.
The alliance needs to issue a higher level of mobilization order.
At the same time, the league also needs to come up with some solutions to the two major problems that previously blocked their offense.
But fortunately, I have some ideas.
The Dark Eldar will definitely continue to cause trouble in the real universe, and the size of the Alliance's "hunting fleet" will have to continue to expand.
To this end, the Alliance's domestic warship production line will make some adjustments to its orders. The construction plans for various high-speed ships have been greatly increased to a limited extent.
In addition to the Western Front that has already advanced to the other side of the Empire, efforts must be made to deploy more high-speed ships on the other fronts.
The 'hunting fleet' strategy has shown in previous confrontations that it can significantly reduce the damage caused to the Alliance's hinterland by the Dark Eldar's excessive warfare.
Logically speaking, as long as the hunting fleet strategy is strengthened and implemented, the effect will be even greater.
Then, the defense information will be notified to all alliance territories to make military preparations.
That’s about it.
Of course, this cannot completely solve the Dark Eldar's attacks on civilians and weakly defended areas. After all, it takes a thousand days to steal, but it takes a thousand days to defend against thieves. To maintain the current defense strategy, the Alliance will have too many troops dragged into the real universe and its own homeland to defend, and the financial pressure will be relatively large.
The only way to solve the problem once and for all is to find a way to completely destroy the Dark Eldar and capture Comoros.
Then you have to find a way to solve the maze.
Humans believe that the Blood Rose Maze is a super-giant living weapon, and there is a professional research team that is researching and developing some counter-devices and technologies that can target this kind of living weapon.
At the same time, the military and various war groups of the alliance have already gained a lot of experience in fighting in the Blood Rose Labyrinth. After these valuable experiences are refined and summarized, part of them will be provided to technicians to develop weapons, and the other part will be used by the commanders and staff of the army to think about how to optimize their own combat strategies. Before the war starts again, they must come up with appropriate tactics to deal with this big trouble.
In short, although the Alliance still desires more for Comoros, it is always a good thing to stop the war for now and have more time to prepare.
As for the Dark Eldar, they need time to lick their wounds.
The invasion of Comoros this time was, to put it bluntly, an active attack by them, but it went wrong. The Dark Eldar were not fully prepared for the current situation.
The current situation of the war is too passive, and the sudden losses are also particularly large.
However, the dark-skinned people were stunned and hurt.
But are they scared of being beaten? Maybe a little bit, otherwise they wouldn't be so eager to hold ceasefire talks.
To say that they were defeated is definitely a far cry!
Not to mention being convinced in the heart, even words may not be so convinced.
They also need time to catch their breath, time to heal their wounds, solve some internal problems, accumulate strength again, and come up with some practical strategic plans.
From this perspective, this peace agreement is quite fragile.
The party that made money from the agreement felt that it didn't make enough; the party that lost money was completely unconvinced.
In this case, it is called a peace treaty, but in reality it is at best a temporary ceasefire agreement, and its effectiveness is no different from that of a piece of toilet paper.
Gu Hang was 100% certain that these completely unconvinced Dark Eldar would tear up the agreement without hesitation and start a new war once they were ready.
And coincidentally, the alliance was prepared in this way.
Eight new leased ports were acquired, and the territorial exchange within Comoros was also completed. Of course, the newly acquired areas were relatively scattered and not conducive to defense.
However, there is also an advantage: the alliance can make greater use of their military advantage.
As long as troops can be quickly sent in from several ports, since the actual controlled area will become wider, when the alliance launches a full-scale offensive next time, there will be more areas that can be attacked at the same time.
In general, risks and benefits complement each other.
For the black people and humans now, this is a tacit temporary truce.
Both sides are preparing for war under the illusion of peace.
Once either party is ready, they will tear up the agreement immediately.
If the war breaks out again, it will probably be much more brutal than the war in the past six months!
In order to cope with the war that is bound to break out again in the future, the most important thing for the alliance at the moment is to speed up the deployment of troops to Comoros.
It would be best to make use of the eight newly acquired "concession ports".
But the league encountered two big problems in this matter.
Due to the restrictions of the treaty, Robert's Terra expeditionary force is leaving.
These two points, at present, are difficult to overcome.
