Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1568 Peace is won through fighting
"This is really unexpected, Mr. Cruze. I thought you would find me, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"I was also very surprised that His Excellency President Midkreed had made preparations to receive me in advance."

Brian Middlecreed, the current president of the Earth Federation Government, is a peace advocate. When the Earth Federation Government and the Universe Unified Government were at loggerheads and even on the verge of a war, it was he who worked hard to maneuver and avoid the war. He is also the core figure in the peaceful independence of the universe's colony satellite clusters.

But he is completely different from those doves who sell out the interests of the Earth. He advocates peaceful dialogue, but that does not mean he will sacrifice the interests of the Earth for peaceful dialogue. Relying on past successful experiences, he is a little arrogant and a little too idealistic. For the Promise Legion, he is a very suitable partner. As long as he understands that the so-called peace is fought for, he can take up an important position, such as... the president of the new federal government.

"After all, I'm the President of the Earth Federation. I have to make the necessary preparations, and there are many things I need to consider." Brian Midcred asked the waiter and the butler to leave the room first, leaving himself and Cruze to talk in detail, while also declaring his importance and status.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm here to kill you?"

"No, I am still useful to you." Brian Middlecreed said calmly, "I really admire Mr. Cruze's courage. There are many people who hate you to the core right now."

"Although I'm not as good as the frontline fighters, I'm still quite confident about my own safety." Cruze responded to Brian Middlecreed's warning or threat calmly. He really didn't worry about his own safety. What he said was not as good as the frontline fighters... It was all fake! Cruze himself was one of the top A-level trump cards of the Promise Corps. Not to mention his special ability to control people without anyone noticing, his mental waves could already cover a kilometer around him. Any malicious intent within the range would be detected immediately, unless... there was a sniper sniping him one kilometer away.

This may not necessarily succeed. Cruze can vaguely sense the malicious intent from a farther distance. As long as he senses it a little, he will turn around and leave without taking any cloud with him.

And... with Cruze's cautiousness, how could he not have sent people to set up control in the surrounding area?
"Then let's get straight to the point, Mr. Cruze. I assume you came to me not just to chat, drink tea, or intimidate me, right?" Brian Midcleed put down his teacup and asked Cruze.

"Yes, Lord Midkreed, you should also know the purpose of my visit this time, right?"

"..." Brian Middlecreed was silent. He had indeed guessed that he was just trying to win him over.

"These two lists were provided to us by DC. You can take a look at them first." Cruz did not hide anything and directly handed the list he had just received to Brian Middlecreed, asking him to take a closer look.

"This is it!" Brian Middlecreed looked at the list and was horrified. Could it be that DC's spies have infiltrated the Federation so deeply?

"If possible, I hope that Lord Midcred can check for loopholes and fill in the gaps to prevent us from wrongly accusing any good person or letting any villain go." Cruze said calmly.

"...With these two lists, Mr. Cruze, aren't you afraid that I will deceive you first, and then inform on you and get rid of you? Or... just based on these two lists, you want me to work for you?" Brian Middlecreed put the list down and narrowed his eyes slightly. Cruze's attitude showed that he was not here to negotiate, but... to give orders.

"First of all, I will personally investigate the accuracy of these two lists. I only want to save some time and effort by asking you to check." As Cruze's fingers were raised one after another, Brian Middlecreed's pressure increased, and his indifferent attitude disappeared. "Secondly, these two lists are not that important. I give them to you to read. I hope that the cooperation between the two sides can be smoother. Then, Mr. Middlecreed, the people on these two lists are confirmed after my verification. If I want to take action, you can't stop me, even if you go to inform on me. Finally... Mr. Middlecreed, I hope you understand that what we are looking for... is a partner who can move forward together, not a puppet. The relationship between us is cooperation, not effectiveness or ineffectiveness. Do you understand?"

"Hehe, I think Mr. Cruze has some misunderstanding about the difference between cooperation and affiliation." Brian Midcred sneered. Although it was called cooperation, he still had to act according to the other party's plan. If he did not comply, he would certainly not escape the fate of being liquidated. Having fought in the political circle for so long, he knew very well how dark and dirty this circle was.

"No, no, no, you have misunderstood us, Mr. Brian Middlecreed." Cruze shook his index finger and replied with some regret, "Regarding your theory, we agree that the earth crisis can be resolved through peaceful dialogue..."

"Humph! You guys just came on the scene and you beat all three forces..." In Brian Midkreed's eyes, the Promise Legion had just arrived in this world and launched an attack on the three forces, which was equivalent to an undeclared war. Isn't this a typical warmonger? What's the difference between this and the war hawks in the government?
Now I tell him that I actually advocate peaceful negotiations. Is this a joke?
"Please listen to me, Your Excellency Midkred." Cruze sighed and continued patiently, "We agree with your philosophy. If civilization is to develop and the world is to progress, it cannot be just about fighting and killing. It is more about human relationships and worldly wisdom. There are many alien races in our legion. We all live in peace and move towards the same goal. This is also the principle we have always followed, peace and communication."

"Then you still..."

"But there are some minor flaws in your idea, Mr. Brian Middlecreed, or rather... you have overlooked some premises."

"What flaws? What premise?" Brian Midcred questioned Cruze. He was the one who made the Universal Unified Government peaceful and independent. How could there be any omissions in his approach?

"Are those foreign forces from Earth?"

"This..." After Cruze's reminder, Brian Midkreed seemed to have thought of something, put away his contemptuous attitude, and chose to continue listening. "Can those foreign forces really communicate? Are they willing to communicate with the people on Earth?"

"..."

"The Promise Corps has an alien race, a silicon-based life form at the level of the universe's overlords. They have the ability to split and reproduce, assimilate and absorb, and learn quickly. The most terrifying thing is that even if it is just a small tribe, the number is counted in trillions. Do you want to know what happened when we first met?"

"I'd like to hear more about it." Brian Midcred asked. He had never sat down to negotiate with aliens before, so this would be a very valuable experience.

"In the beginning, we also wanted to communicate with the other side and avoid war as much as possible. However, after the other side approached the earth, we tried many ways and could not get in touch with the other side. The other side ignored our friendly signals and launched an invasion of the earth. Due to its characteristic of being attracted by mental waves, some small fragments were scattered on the earth and hurt many ordinary people with mental waves. In the end, we had to organize an army to fight the other side.

Honestly, the moment I saw the number of our opponents, I knew it was a losing battle. We realized the possibility of victory, and in fact, we did. We fought desperately, but we were still beaten back step by step. The fate of the Earth was about to reach the end of destruction within a few hours. "

"That you……"

“We chose to communicate.”

"Didn't you say that you couldn't get in touch with the other party?"

"Indeed." The war with ELS was the war that Cruze remembered most vividly. At that time, they were only using scientific weapons that could not go beyond the solar system, and fighting against a race that was at the level of the overlord of the universe. They could not see any hope at all. Yang Hui, who was regarded as their strongest pillar, was also in danger in that battle. All the masters tried their best, but they could not stop the decline of defeat even a little bit!

After taking a sip of tea, Cruze continued to tell Brian Middlecreed: "Because our initial choice was wrong."

"Wrong?"

"Yes, that's wrong. The other party is completely different from Earth civilization and Earthlings. It has an irrelevant cultural system. All the signals we sent out could not be received by the other party. Even if they received it, they could not understand the correct meaning. In the end, we relied on a special kind of light particles, called GN particles, plus special mental wave users, that is, pure-blooded transformers, to build a super-large-scale quantum communication field to communicate with the consciousness of the self, and finally successfully completed the dialogue."

"I see."

"Fortunately, they are also a friendly race. They came to Earth not to occupy or invade, but just to seek help. Their home planet is facing the crisis of destruction, and they are just helping. We also extended a helping hand, so the two sides established a solid friendship. Now thinking back, I can only smile bitterly. After they learned the human language in the field of quantum communication, we asked them what they thought of our achievements. Their answer was to invite them to play."

"...I think I understand what you mean, Mr. Cruz." Regardless of how true everything Cruz said was, Brian Midcreed also understood what Cruz meant.

Alien civilizations are different from Earth civilizations. We cannot impose our own ideas, human ideas, and common sense on others. If we do this, there will be no chance of success in the negotiations.

"But, with all due respect, Mr. Cruze, let's not talk about the BETA monsters. So far, both the Void Messengers and the Supervisors have shown that they understand Earth civilization, speak the same language, and have the possibility of communication."

"Indeed, this brings us to your second negligence, Lord Midcleed," Cruze said with a smile.

"What oversight?"

"A weak country has no diplomacy. The right to speak is not gained through words, but through fighting."
