Chapter 642: Political career is important
If human sociologists were told about the current situation of the Apollo civilization, they might be shocked. A fourth-level civilization still has a lot of internal friction. This is simply beyond imagination!
But if you think about it carefully, it's not too strange... Most civilizations that have not experienced too many setbacks are like this.
As a subordinate civilization, if the cohesion is too high, it will easily pursue the path of independent development. How can the overlord civilization be reassured? A civilization that is torn apart, with fierce infighting among the top leaders, and the leader stepping down every few years, is an excellent subsidiary civilization.
After investigation, a small number of historians within the Apollo civilization also believe that this civilizational split was deliberately cultivated by the suzerain civilization in ancient times!
A divided civilization is often easier to control than a unified civilization.
There is racial hatred within a civilization, and the more foreign-friendly ideas become more intense, and a large number of talents are naturally lost to serve the master's civilization.
However, these scholars are very quiet and have nothing to do about it. Politicians know this and often turn a blind eye. If they want to repair these wounds, they may be directly overthrown by the civilization of the sect.
This racial hatred will continue for the foreseeable future.
Newborns of the Apollo civilization received education in this area from an early age, and these racial hatreds were written into textbooks.
The best scientists will choose to join the lord's civilization and conduct scientific and technological research.
Due to the historical existence and the close exchanges in modern times, a large number of grassroots personnel are grateful to the suzerain civilization, so even the top executive cannot betray the suzerain civilization.
This is control, the way to truly control level four civilization!
Once you capture its history, you capture all of it!
All in all, these giant squid leaders will be removed from their positions if they make serious mistakes - of course, it has to be a serious mistake. Under normal circumstances, they will still have great autonomy. Only our own people can manage our own people better.
"But the damage to the battle star is definitely a major fault!"
The entire civilization only has two battle stars in total. If one is damaged, their faction may decline as a result. On the other hand, if you leave directly without fighting, your political opponents will definitely seize the opportunity to severely humiliate you, and you will be criticized as a "coward" and a "soft squid" by various media. This is also a naked fact.
If they withdraw their troops directly, their political careers will be completely wiped out!
After discussing it for a long time, these giant squids finally made up their minds: they must fight!
But how to fight, how to intimidate the opponent, and how to gain more benefits is a real art... They don't want the war stars to participate in the battle and suffer too much damage.
At this point in the discussion, these giant squids couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, which was the main reason why they came and went in ink here.
They still hope that the new human civilization will surrender.
"We must seize the benefits before the other party builds the engine!"
…
Three years of constant testing between each other passed quickly again...
For mankind, it is a very precious three years.
Time has never been so precious!
Conflicts continue on the front, and frictions of all sizes begin to occur. It is not known when a full-scale war will break out. However, in this state, engineers are still insisting on production. Whether it is various drones or planetary curvature engines, they are almost all being manufactured at the maximum speed...
All in all, the new human civilization has persisted until now!
The planetary curvature engine is more than 89% complete!
"Oh, finish it quickly, finish it quickly..." Zhang Yuan felt very irritated. Almost every high-level government official is agitated by this prolonged tug-of-war.
Sometimes people even want to pay a few amoeba points to make the other party withdraw their troops quickly. However, this plan was ultimately rejected.
Ye Kaifu looked at the entire engineering drawing and introduced: "There is no point in hurrying. It is estimated that it will take 4 years before the planetary curvature engine can be initially completed and can be barely used. The maximum speed is 1 times the speed of light. "
"When we get to a safe place, we still need to completely perfect this battle star. This is indeed not a good construction site."
"Four years?"
Looking down from the sky on the planet, you can see tall tower-like buildings standing on the surface of the planet, emitting regular light from time to time.
These are planetary warp engines.
Ye Kaifu asked: "What's the situation ahead? How long can we hold on?"
Zhang Yuan said worriedly: "We are not too optimistic. The other party's military deterrence is still continuing. They are unwilling to leave directly without gaining anything, so there are always drones entering the border line to test, and there have been several minor incidents." There was quite a bit of friction, and there were some casualties..."
"Are there any casualties?"
"yes..."
"I estimate that in the end we will have to fight a medium-sized war. Only when it is sure that there is no way to eat us without damage will the other side be willing to leave."
"A medium-sized war!" Ye Kaifu was shocked. A medium-sized war means that humans have to invest half of their troops.
It is better to invest half of the troops than to invest all the troops.
"There is another possibility with a higher probability. The opponent will launch a total attack before the curvature engine is completely completed... This is even more dangerous."
"So we can't be blindly optimistic."
It has been so many years since the new human civilization entered a state of war mobilization, and the people have become a little accustomed to it.
In this high-pressure state, it is indeed a spiritual baptism. At the beginning, many people couldn't sleep well and were worried, but they soon entered a normal working state. Now that they had made up their minds and the non-combatant personnel had left, what else was there to be afraid of?
War is the greatest disaster, but only war can preserve the fruits of human labor!
"The first real military conflict occurred two years ago. As the Apollo civilization became more and more unscrupulous in crossing the human air defense identification zone, some spacecraft even crossed an astronomical unit!"
So after the warning was ineffective, the human military simply came hard!
If you don't do it again, the game won't be able to continue.
This time, humans took the initiative to open fire, directly destroying some enemy spacecraft that broke into the air defense identification zone.
The second time was a small wave of spaceships from the new human civilization. While patrolling the border, they were attacked by the enemy!
It's a revenge!
As for the third conflict, it was a series of retaliatory counterattacks organized by humans after being attacked on the border.
These few conflicts were small conflicts with casualties, but the war did not expand. The only ships that joined the battle were the escort class and the destroyer class, which were not large in scale.
Zhang Yuan sighed, "Judging from the current results, the deterrent effect of that planet nemesis explosion was quite good... so that the opponent's battle stars did not dare to rush in directly and aggressively."
"But if this continues, you retaliate against me and I retaliate against you, it will soon turn into a full-scale war... There must be a series of differences within the Apollo civilization."
"I just don't know how many days this calm can last."
