The aliens will have to learn that earth goes hard. People have been offering other people a similar deal for eons. We predictably return with a counteroffer of violence. In the most dire of scenarios, "subjugate yourselves or die"...we've been known to burn our own houses and salt our own fields, to kill our loved ones, and then ourselves.
Ultimately, one could draw an inference from this as to why any dictatorship..no matter how powerful the despot or how sweet the offer is taken to be, is doomed to failure. Some may be interested, even willing...all never have been, and never will be. In conflict between the interests of the fundamentally complacent and the zealously defiant....the former is not equipped to withstand the latter, no matter how many troops the emperor provides.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
