Chapter 355 Negotiation Deadlock
Although both sides have a sincere desire for peace, just like travelers groping in the dark longing for light, some key issues on the negotiation table are like stubborn reefs, preventing the ships of both sides from moving forward smoothly. These issues involve the core interests and deep values of both sides. Each one is like a tangled thread. Once pulled, it may cause the entire negotiation situation to fall into chaos.
On the issue of security, the two sides had serious differences. The mysterious race had suffered a catastrophe before, so their security requirements were almost harsh. They hoped that the Universal Alliance could provide an absolutely reliable and powerful defense system that could not only resist attacks from external unknown forces, but also ensure that the location of their planet would not be leaked. They proposed that the Universal Alliance should share the most advanced concealment technology and ultra-large-scale energy shield technology, and ensure that these technologies would not be used against them under any circumstances.
However, there are great concerns within the Cosmic Alliance about sharing such critical technologies. These technologies were obtained by the Alliance after a long period of research and development and countless tests, and are an important line of defense to ensure the safety of each planet. Once leaked or abused, it may cause irreparable damage to the security architecture of the entire Cosmic Alliance. Some military experts in the Alliance are worried that although the mysterious race currently shows a willingness to make peace, after all, they do not know enough about it. If they change their attitude after obtaining these technologies, the consequences will be disastrous.
The resource exchange issue has also become a major obstacle in the negotiations. Due to the long-term seclusion and lack of resources, the mysterious race urgently needs a large amount of rare resources to restore the development of the race, including special metals for repairing and upgrading defense facilities, special genetic materials for medical and biological research, etc. They hope that the Universal Alliance can provide them with these resources at a low price or even free of charge as compensation for their past suffering.
But the representatives of the commercial planets in the Cosmic Alliance strongly opposed this request. In their view, the mining, transportation and trade of resources all follow market laws and business principles. If these rules are broken to meet the needs of the mysterious race, it will have a huge impact on the economic order within the alliance. Moreover, these rare resources are in short supply within the alliance itself. If they are provided to the mysterious race in large quantities, many development projects within the alliance may be affected, leading to an increase in the imbalance of development between the various planets.
There are also disputes over cultural integration. The mysterious race hopes to spread their cultural elements deeply into the Cosmic Alliance while maintaining their own cultural independence. They believe that their culture is a unique treasure in the universe, with extremely high value, and should be respected and promoted on all planets in the Alliance. For example, they hope that the education system in the Alliance can incorporate their cultural courses so that residents in the Alliance can understand and learn their history, beliefs and art.
However, some conservatives in the Cosmic Alliance are worried that the large-scale spread of this culture will have an impact on the original cultural ecology of the Alliance. They are worried that the younger generation in the Alliance will be overly influenced by the culture of the mysterious race, which will lead to the decline of the local culture. Each planet has its own proud cultural traditions, which are the spiritual pillars of the planet's residents. If the culture of the mysterious race is introduced in large quantities in a short period of time, it may cause confusion in cultural identity and destroy the cultural harmony within the Alliance.
At the same time, different voices emerged within the Cosmic Alliance, and there were disagreements on the way to communicate with the mysterious race. This disagreement was like an undercurrent, causing waves within the seemingly calm alliance.
Some people advocated a tough attitude. They believed that the mysterious race was a potential threat and should not be contacted from the beginning. During the negotiation process, they felt that the interests of the Universal Alliance should be given absolute priority, and they put pressure on the mysterious race to accept the conditions proposed by the Alliance. Most of these people came from planets with strong military backgrounds. They were used to using strength to safeguard their own security and interests, and were full of distrust of the mysterious race.
Another group of people believe that peace talks should be promoted more actively, and some concessions can even be made. They see the value of the unique technology and culture of the mysterious race, and believe that through peaceful coexistence and in-depth cooperation, huge development opportunities can be brought to the Cosmic Alliance. This group of people are mainly representatives from the fields of scientific and technological research and development and cultural exchanges, and they pay more attention to long-term development and the diverse coexistence of the universe.
There are also some centrists who are wavering between being tough and moderate. On the one hand, they worry that an overly tough attitude will lead to war, and on the other hand, they are worried about the risks that may come from concessions. They hope to find a compromise, but in the face of complex situations, they seem to be at a loss.
Under such internal disagreements, the negotiations reached a deadlock. The representatives of both sides sat at the negotiation table, and the atmosphere was as heavy as a black hole in the universe, as if it was going to swallow up all hopes. Every speech was cautious, but it could not break the deadlock, just like knocking in vain on the hard ice.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan knew that if they could not break the deadlock as soon as possible, all their previous efforts would be in vain. They actively worked within the alliance, trying to coordinate the opinions of all parties. Gu Qianning used her connections and influence on various planets to organize several internal meetings so that representatives with different opinions could fully communicate and exchange ideas. She explained the importance of peace talks to everyone in a gentle but firm tone, emphasizing that the mysterious race was not an enemy, but a partner with whom they could cooperate.
Chu Mohan analyzed each point of disagreement in depth and proposed some possible solutions from a professional perspective. On the issue of sharing security technology, he proposed that a joint defense mechanism could be established, with both parties jointly participating in the research and development and management of technology, and ensuring the safe use of technology through mutual supervision and restraint. Regarding the issue of resource exchange, he suggested that a special resource allocation fund could be established within the alliance to meet some of the needs of the mysterious race through donations from all parties and a reasonable distribution mechanism, while not causing too much impact on the economic order of the alliance. In terms of cultural integration, he advocated starting with cultural exchange activities, gradually deepening the understanding between the two sides, and then considering deeper integration methods such as incorporating the culture of the mysterious race into the education system when appropriate.
However, these plans were not recognized by everyone. Internal differences still exist, and at the external negotiation table, the mysterious races have also raised some doubts about these plans. They are worried that the joint defense mechanism may limit their control over their own security, they are skeptical about the fairness and sustainability of the resource allocation fund, and they are not satisfied with the slow progress of cultural exchange.
