Chapter 272: Judgment
Like Mai Er, these aliens also had a head shape that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. In other aspects, they resembled humanity, but there were obvious differences.
Unlike Fox’s appearance which was extremely similar to a fox, the Hans Civilization’s physique was more like dwarves.
Their bodies were not tall, averaging around 1.3 meters.
With their strange head shape, although their hands and feet were similar, the overall appearance gave people a comical feeling.
Of course, these Space Force members who boarded the ship did not show any mocking emotions.
There was not much conversation between the two sides. The inspection work followed the exemplary rules made by the Galactic Alliance, so humanity also did not conduct inspections outside the scope.
All inspections were conducted in accordance with Galactic Alliance rules.
After all, this was a ship that had been properly registered within the alliance and was only responsible for envoy missions to befriend civilizations.
If this ship violated regulations and secretly carried prohibited items such as military equipment, then once reported, the Hans Civilization would face relevant sanctions within the alliance.
Therefore, Wang Wei from the Azure Dragon Legion did not make a big fuss about its appearance.
He merely reported it routinely to headquarters, and it happened to be known by Fan Ren who was working in the Solar System, which was why he appeared to make such a solemn display.
The spaceship inspection work ended quickly, and several Sky Force members subsequently withdrew.
“Hello, respected Hans Civilization envoy delegation. The inspection has passed. Your civilization’s envoy spaceship complies fully with alliance regulations and is permitted to pass.
Afterward, I will send the coordinates of our civilization’s department responsible for handling foreign affairs to your side. Please do not linger in the non-transit areas we have listed.
Otherwise, in accordance with relevant alliance laws, our civilization has the right to detain your ship.”
Wang Wei’s speech was not fast. For the first time an alien civilization was visiting human civilization with a formal official envoy delegation identity, he was extremely calm at this moment.
As one of the committee members, he was one of the few who knew the process of that interception battle.
Regarding the Hans Civilization’s expeditionary fleet, he believed their combat will was not strong.
This could be seen simply from the performance of Legion Commander Officer Mai Er after being captured.
In the previous combat analysis meeting, the meticulous Staff Department had discovered that in that interception battle, those cruisers and below-level nearly ten thousand various specialized small ships in the Hans Civilization expeditionary fleet did not play any active role on the battlefield.
At the instant of engagement, they directly began scattering and fleeing due to the large number of battleship fleets that appeared.
Accordingly, the Staff Department had analyzed that if these specialized small ships could have played their corresponding roles, then in that campaign, aside from the Conqueror Titan as the decisive factor, the war result might not necessarily have been humanity’s victory.
Taking the simplest example, humanity had numerous Young Dragon cruisers, but these spaceships’ main functions were in anti-air combat.
In contrast, the thousands of cruisers in the Hans Civilization expeditionary fleet were spaceships equipped with medium-range attack missiles.
If these missiles were used properly, although they would not pose much threat to battleship-level armor, they would be more than sufficient for attacking ships of the same level or destroyer tonnage.
And yet these key pieces that decided the war’s victory or defeat fled at the instant of engagement.
Of course, part of this was also due to the sudden timing of the Punisher’s appearance.
In lengthy interstellar navigation, the vast majority of combat personnel would enter hibernation pods and pass the meaningless long time in hibernation.
And humanity’s fleet’s sudden appearance was an extremely sudden surprise for them.
At that time, most of their fleet’s combat personnel were in deep hibernation and fundamentally unable to muster effective counterattack capabilities.
Therefore, under urgency, Mai Er simply issued the order to deviate from the route and pull away distance.
Only after a certain time when the combat personnel in these hibernation pods recovered could they organize resistance forces.
And this was verified in the subsequent war of attrition.
The Hans Civilization’s heavy attack missiles truly caused great damage to the assault fleet commanded by Liu Shengzhan.
At that time, if these small specialized ships had joined in, paired with various combat ideas including but not limited to electronic and interception, then in that interception battle, humanity would have had difficulty winning.
And these did not appear on the battlefield at all.
Wang Wei thought of this, a slight mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, then his expression became serious again as he turned his gaze toward the Star Gate.
He was not worried that this Hans Civilization, which appeared peaceful on the surface, would bring any crisis to human civilization.
They had already defeated them once.
So now, after human civilization had even stronger combat levels, no matter what happened, human civilization would inevitably stand on the victorious side of the scales time and again, always defeating them.
“Chairman, before we had completed civilization registration, the Hans Civilization had already taken a strong interest in our star system. For this, they spared no funds to collect Solar System-related information in the Galactic Alliance. Only after confirming we had no civilization registration did they initiate the expeditionary offensive.”
Xu Hongwei’s face similarly showed no worry. He knew the ins and outs of the interception battle’s occurrence.
Fan Ren nodded to indicate to continue.
“The other side has had no reaction at all to the annihilation of their expeditionary force. I think they may have already classified that loss as an accidental emergency.
After all, a portion of their small ships successfully escaped.
And due to our fleet entering via delivery, a combat method only advanced civilizations have, these escaping spaceships certainly would not associate that incident with us, a ‘low-level’ civilization.
After all, even now, we not only have no excess development funds, but we also owe the Central Bank 100 due to the Star Gate.
Moreover, our civilization currently has no viable products on the Starfield Market.
And this composition can also well prove that our human civilization is currently just a low-level civilization that has just stepped into second level civilization status.”
Xu Hongwei glanced at the earnestly listening chairman, and upon finding no rebuttal from the other, continued:
“And now, we have completed registration, and they have lost the intention and opportunity to ‘freely’ occupy us.
So, I think this time they have come, given their civilization’s current situation, to do something very key and also the most important point.
That is to probe the resource reserves here in our civilization, as well as our civilization’s current military strength.
Thereby making the most accurate judgment of our civilization’s current state, and using this as the basis for the decision on whether to declare war on our civilization.
After all, from much information, the Hans Civilization has already reached a dead end. Internally, it has led to a series of unstable situations due to this issue.
If development continues, a major collapse-level transformation is very likely to occur.
In that case, their leadership will inevitably lose their current status.
Similarly, if joining the Sirius Civilization, their leadership would also lose that status.
And in that case, if it were me.”
“Go all out?”
Fan Ren took over the other’s words and nodded with a smile.
