"Wait, Commander Weinforth, since the Gigite civilization is a part of the Order Association, which has a mutual defense alliance, if Gigite Star needs coordinated defense, it should also be declared to the Order Association for coordination," General Caesar couldn't help but interject.

Even though he had clearly understood that Earth's civilization might be a powerful high-level civilization—the recent annihilation of the Teizene was still vivid in his memory—he could not stand by and watch the Gigite civilization abandon the Order Association, which he saw as a faith, to become a vassal to Earth's people.

Bai Zhongqi smiled without speaking, but the Capybara-like creature's face turned cold as it said to Caesar, "General Caesar, I believe there is always room for flexibility in everything. We've seen in this battle, Earth's civilization is not only excellent but also responsible. What's more, our proximity to Earth's civilization is closer."

This wasn't entirely true; Gigite Star was about three hundred light-years away from Earth, and there were several other civilizations of the Order Association at a similar distance, though they were of a lower class. The most powerful Ape Planet civilization was nine hundred light-years from Gigite Star.

At this point, Bai Zhongqi could already see Gigite Star's intention to separate from the Order Association. He thought it was very realistic—Gigite Star's military power was destroyed, and the strongest nearby combat power belonged to the Star Alliance alone. The Order Association had been the weakest throughout the war, incapable of protecting the people of Gigite. If the Gigite people didn't want to become prey to the Teizene or lost souls under Earthling's guns, their only option was to ingratiate themselves with Earth.

Chancellor did not plan to directly include Gigite Star into the Star Alliance for the time being, but adding Gigite to the defense perimeter of the Star Alliance was not too problematic. He had also heard of the Gigite people's construction project capabilities, which they even use as a source of interstellar currency and technology. Bai Zhongqi thought, if the negotiations went smoothly, it might be possible to offer some outsourced construction contracts to the Gigite people, allowing them to help in building some of the Alliance's projects.

After all, places like Earth and Emerald Sea Star, where Iridium Star's engineering power was undoubtedly the main force, but some minor planetary projects or other Administrative Stars or Resource Stars' projects could be taken care of by them when the Star Alliance was not able to.

At this moment, the person feeling the worst was Caesar. Ape Planet civilization held a key position within the Order Association, but the Gigite civilization was also an important part. Now that Gigite showed signs of secession and was considering aligning with the suspected high-level civilization of Iridium Star's Earth, this put Caesar in a difficult position.

Bai Zhongqi did not continue to waste words with the people of the Order Association. He quickly began more in-depth talks with Weinforth and the other Gigite people.

To be honest, sitting together with a bunch of short, chubby, and even naively cute Capybara-like creatures was quite a comical affair. Gigite civilization was at level 18, with few points on their tech tree in military technology, but they had expertise in construction.

Realizing that the Chancellor of Earth's civilization was sitting in front of him, Weinforth knew he must seize this important opportunity. Clearly, Bai Zhongqi was a person with absolute authority within his civilization; if he could gain his favor, then the future for Gigite would be quite promising.

"...To express our gratitude for Iridium Star Earth's civilization's assistance in this war, we of the Gigite civilization are willing to provide an annual contribution to Iridium Star Earth. Gigite Star and the Gigite Galaxy are abundant in high-value minerals, including heavy metals and helium-3. We hope this will help cement the friendship between our two civilizations."

For many ordinary mid-level civilizations, resource provision was still a valuable approach. The functioning and development of any civilization require resources, and reducing access to resources will inevitably impact development. Hence, many civilizations deliberately demand large amounts of resources after subjugating another civilization to limit their development. And civilizations that gain more resources can provide more goods to their people and carry out further development and research. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

However, for high-level civilizations, acquiring resources depends more on their own needs. They can explore and mine resources on a much wider scale, and they can manufacture very easily, so overmining is unnecessary.

But now, Earth's civilization still had a significant appetite for resources. Bai Zhongqi did not expect the resources provided by the Gigite to be transported for use on Earth, but if he wanted to develop places like Lingge Star, the additional resources provided by Gigite Star would undoubtedly save him some trouble.

Therefore, Bai Zhongqi stated, "Regarding the provision of resources, we can discuss this long-term. We are currently developing Lingge Star and may need some resources, but the types and amounts of resources we require need to be carefully considered in relation to Gigite Star's carrying capacity and the proportion we provide. We cannot let this resource provision agreement become something that restricts Gigite Star's development."

Weinforth was greatly relieved to hear Bai Zhongqi say this and asked, "Let's proceed as Chancellor has proposed. Besides providing resources, is there anything else the Gigite civilization can assist Iridium Star Earth with?"

Bai Zhongqi spoke with a smile, "As I mentioned earlier, Lingge Star has joined our Alliance, and we have a series of development plans for it to gain stronger combat power and resist Teizene's invasion. The Gigite civilization has strong fortification construction abilities, and we hope to cooperate more with Gigite in engineering projects."

Weinforth readily agreed; after all, Gigite people were already accustomed to engineering outsourcing, and being contracted for projects by Earth's civilization was not a challenge for them.

Bai Zhongqi also stated frankly, "In this star sector, Iridium Star's Earth civilization will expand its influence and resist the Teizene Empire. As a common adversary of the Teizene, Earth's civilization can provide military support and protection for the Gigite civilization. This military protection is comprehensive, including the defensive perimeter of Gigite Star's orbit, fleet support, joint exercises, and even the transfer of weapons to Gigite Star."

Weinforth was elated upon hearing this, "What? Including the transfer of weapons as well?"

Bai Zhongqi nodded, "Yes, if the Gigite civilization is willing to establish close military cooperation with Iridium Star Earth, weapon transfers are certainly on the table."
