"In fact, Earth is also interested in contributing to the Milky Way." Crocodile's smile continued. "But as you can see, Your Excellency Erini, our level of technology is not advanced. The Star Field we are in is also very barren. "
Li Jie was telling the truth, and Erini nodded after listening to these words. Li Jie continued, "But we understand very well that it is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy in this world."
"We have no intention of invading other Star Field civilizations, and we don't have this ability. After Star-Lord came back last time, he said something about the Milky Way Alliance and the Nova Corps. So we have been thinking about what we can do for the Milky Way Alliance. "
"We are just a civilization that has just entered the universe. For some reason, we have obtained some Armed Technology that allows us to build Interstellar Battleships. But our overall level of technology is still low, and we are like people who walk on one foot. "
"Some progress in military technology does not explain the overall civilization of the earth. We still have a long way to go before we become a real Interstellar civilization. We hope to join the Milky Way Alliance and get more exchanges and development in it. "Li Jie first set the position of the earth civilization in a very low position.
Because the things he was plotting were not suitable for the earth to be in the limelight too much, especially in terms of technology. The earth is actually still very weak.
Look at the Zetari attack this time. Li Jie and the others had been planning for so long, and they still had the initiative in the entire battle, and they had set up an ambush circle in advance, and they even had reinforcements from the Nova Corps behind them.
Although the Zetari fleet was completely annihilated, the Venus fleet still lost almost a quarter of its Battleships. Where there is war, there must be casualties, and a record of zero casualties can only be a legend by chance or a one-sided crushing.
And he was only facing a small division of the Zetari, and this Zetari was hired by the Skorus. It can be said that this wave of Zetari that attacked the earth was only responsible for the mercenary business among the Zetari pirates. It was not the main Zetari fleet.
Li Jie and the others had expended so much energy just to deal with one division. What if it was the main fleet of the Zetari or even the Skuru fleet? Even if he really wanted to ask for help from Asgard and let the Ancient One take action.
Therefore, Li Jie was now very clear about Earth's current position. He could not be complacent just because he had won a war. The victory of this war had more of a political meaning.
After the Earth joined the Nova Corps, they would have the right to speak and tell the other members of the Star Alliance that they had once defeated the Zetari and that they were not pushovers.
But of course, he could not show this attitude to Eleni now. Li Jie was counting on her to help him persuade the other higher-ups of the Nova Corps. Of course, as one of the 50 Decurions in the Nova Corps, Eleni was one of the higher-ups.
"You're right, Nightcrawler." Eleni nodded. She agreed with Li Jie's words. "Star-Lord has reported to me about the level of civilization on Earth. Except for the Interstellar Battleships, your overall level of civilization is not particularly high. You have just entered the interstellar era. "
"And joining the Star Alliance requires a standard. It is impossible for us to accept all civilizations into the Star Alliance at will, because civilizations that enter the Star Alliance have obligations that they need to bear, and naturally, they also have the rights to enjoy in the Star Alliance. " Eleni's expression became a lot more serious when she said these words, and the happy expression on her face dissipated a lot. But at least she was still in a good mood now, so the timing of Li Jie's conversation was still very good.
"After joining the Star Alliance, the Nova Corps is obligated to undertake their defense tasks. For example, the attack of the Space Pirates, such as this time's attack by the Zetari, or the scattered attacks of other small groups of pirates. The Nova Corps will also open up some of the scientific and technological projects that can be made public for the members of the Star Alliance to browse and study. "Eleni was talking about the benefits of joining the Star Alliance and accepting the jurisdiction of the Nova Corps.
"Of course, the rights and obligations are equal. The Nova Corps maintains the peace of the Milky Way Galaxy and even the wider Star Field, and forbids massacres and wars that destroy civilizations. But there will always be conflicts between civilizations, and some conflicts will inevitably escalate to the point where war is needed to resolve them. The Nova Corps can't endlessly mediate these wars, because the more intense the suppression of some wars, the more ferocious they will be when they suddenly rebound. "
"We agree to limited armed conflicts to decide the ownership of some things, but we will prioritize the interests of the members of the Star Alliance." Eleni's words were very straightforward. As long as there were people (including aliens), there would be conflicts, and these conflicts could also be interpreted as politics.
"As I said before, the Nova Corps formed the Star Alliance from a good point of view. The members have rights, and naturally have obligations. This includes providing resources to the Nova Corps, opening ports, allowing members of civilizations to join the Nova Corps as elite warriors, and so on. And all of this has a threshold. "Eleni got to the point. This was also the main purpose of Li Jie's conversation with Eleni this time.
"If the level of a civilization is too low, then it will be difficult for it to provide everything I've said to the Nova Corps. The Nova Corps strictly prohibits advanced civilizations from attacking low-level civilizations that have not yet entered the interstellar era. This is an iron law. The development of a civilization must conform to its natural laws and should not be forcibly destroyed by external forces.
"And when a civilization enters the interstellar era, this protection will slowly disappear because at this time, conflicts of interest between interstellar civilizations will slowly occur. You can think of it as the newbie protection in the games on Earth. At this time, he will not have the newbie protection, but his level is not high, and his equipment is not strong, so it will be easy for high-level players to kill him. "Eleni seemed to have played games on Earth before.
"Yes, Your Excellency Eleni," Li Jie interrupted. "This is exactly what I'm worried about. Right now, Earth's civilization is only protected by a fragile layer of eggshell. Before we spread our wings and become eagles, I hope our civilization can be sheltered under the wings of the Nova Corps. "
People had to learn to give in. Right now, Earth had no way to deal with the powerful Nova Corps. And no matter what, the Nova Corps was a lawful good camp, so joining them was still a guarantee.
"But, as I have said, you are not alone. Earth is now in a very awkward stage, and its level is not high nor low. It's hard to say whether the Nova Corps will meet to discuss whether it will accept Earth's civilization. Because for a very long time, Earth may only take from the Corps and not be able to give back. You have to understand, a virtuous chain of benefits is an equivalent exchange between two parties, "Eleni voiced her thoughts." Only an equivalent exchange, and not a one-sided demand, can both parties maintain a happy and long-lasting relationship. "
"And the Corps also needs to consider the thoughts of other GAL members." What Eleni said was a very practical problem.
And when the topic came to this, Li Jie nodded and said, "That's why I proposed to His Excellency Decurion before that Earth should provide logistical entertainment services for the Nova Corps."
Eleni pondered for a while and said, "But the Corps may not be willing to pay for these high-priced entertainment facilities. This is not a necessity." Although Star-Lord opened an Earth Entertainment City after returning to Xandar, the fee is not high, but it is not low either. And even so, Star-Lord said that this is already a low price that does not include the transportation fee.
It is a universal recognition that good entertainment products are expensive, even on Xandar.
And in the face of Eleni's inquiry, Li Jie immediately said, "Your Excellency Eleni, we can promise. We will provide all services at cost price, without earning any fees. We can even provide some services for free! And this will be our contribution to the Nova Corps. "Li Jie said confidently.
