Chapter 2234 Wait Time

2234. Time to Wait

The outer ring of the Milky Way, the Lassex Galaxy, Lassex IV.

"The Interstellar Banking Association is going to add another 100 billion credits to our war loan." Earl Dooku sat on a sofa wrapped in red velvet, with several light screens displayed in front of him, covered with various economic data , he said to Tang Yu without looking back.

"If we continue to expand the loan, we will have to further increase the war tax. In this case, the morale that has been boosted by the continuous victories will drop to the freezing point again." Tang Yu shook his head and said.

"No, in fact, this loan and the previous loan do not have to be repaid." Earl Dooku said: "I am working on this matter. Sang Hill is going to use this condition in exchange for our status after the regime reform, and also That said, he still wants to monopolize the banking industry."

"It's impossible for him to monopolize the banking industry. In fact, we can gradually implement the anti-monopoly bill after the Lundili Interstellar Power Company turns against water and joins the Confederation of Independent Galaxies," Tang Yu said.

Earl Dooku glanced at him with great interest and asked: "Let's not talk about Thorn Hill, are you so sure that you will let Rendili join us? I heard that last time Bangira Ulan told you Is the talk broken? And I have to remind you that the Lundili Interstellar Power Company is one of Palpatine's pawns, and he knows Ulan's thoughts."

Tang Yu said without raising his head: "That's why I failed to negotiate with him. Naturally, negotiating with a person who is destined to fail will not lead to results. The most important thing is that he doesn't think he will succeed. "

"Then what's your plan? If Rendili can take over completely, we will have the confidence to solve our internal problems." Earl Dooku asked.

"That's why you defaulted to a fleet decisive battle on the planet Marathal? But we are not sure of winning this decisive battle, and even said that we have a higher chance of failure." Tang Yu put down the data in his hand and looked at Earl Dooku .

Count Dooku smiled, "I know you've been making small moves recently, but no matter what you're doing, the Republic doesn't know anything about it. This is what I value about you, the previous layout of Darth Plagueis Very large, Darth Sidious and I are only enforcers. So we are all included in the whole plan, and our actions will inevitably be affected. But you are different... your actions are not in the plan, Darth Sidious can't judge you either. Just as he first forced your guardian planet to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, he didn't even know what your joining meant to the Confederacy."

"So the situation of concentrating the fleet on the planet Marathal to make a decisive battle, no matter what I am planning, can help draw the attention of the Republic." Tang Yu nodded.

"So where's your plan?"

Tang Yu was just laughing, but he didn't say the answer. He raised his legs and shook his legs very easily, "Anyway, it's probably already...hehehehe, 70% sure."

"You still don't trust me, worried that I'll break the news to Palpatine?"

"It's natural to deal with a Sith." Tang Yu waved his hand, "Then again, how to deal with the new type of weapon used by the Republic on the Marathal battlefield, the electromagnetic proton bomb? If it is a decisive battle in the fleet If we lose in the middle and the ground battle is stopped by this kind of bomb, I am afraid that we will not be able to defend the outer ring defense line."

Earl Dooku called up an analysis report and passed it to Tang Yu, saying, "The Technology Alliance has come up with some plans.

This kind of bomb can only be delivered by missiles and bombers, so it only needs to intercept these two. Moreover, this kind of bomb is very expensive and should not be used on a large scale. "

Tang Yu rubbed his chin and thought of something, "Speaking of interception, there is an almost obsolete weapon in our planet's science and technology library, called the Interceptor, which is an airborne aircraft that uses a large number of laser weapons to intercept missiles. Maybe It can be used after some modern modifications. As long as it can occupy low-altitude air supremacy, it will not be so easy for the Republic to drop this kind of bomb.”

"Then call Walter Tambor from the Technology Union to come to you." Count Dooku said.

Tang Yu shook his head and said, "It's better to be a trade alliance. In the current situation, the trade alliance is easier to control than the technology alliance."

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"When the first step is taken, I will naturally tell you everything. Because by then, we will truly have the power to control our own destiny." Tang Yu said with a smile. If you are not stupid, you will naturally not refuse the power in your hands, he added in his mind.

So far, Tang Yu's relationship with the five major business giants is actually pretty good. He cooperated with Newt Gunray of the Trade Federation to inject mechanical life into the robot and make huge profits. The two parties are currently cooperating very happily. And Walter Tamber of the Technology Alliance also has a lot of cooperation with Tang Yu, especially in helping Guardian Planet build its own warship production dock. And the president of the Enterprise Alliance is Passel Argent, who is the Kuriva from the planet Murkana, who liberated the planet Murkana for the guardian planet, and captured Wilhuff Tarkin alive. The fact that the admiral avenged the victims of the orbital bombing also greatly increased his affection for Tang Yu.

However, the relationship between Sang Hill, the chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association, and Shu Mai, the president of the Commercial Guild, and Tang Yu is relatively ordinary, but they will not provoke the Guardian Planet. After all, Tang Yu can be said to be Du One of Earl Ku's most trusted confidantes, the military strength of Guardian Planet is also relied on by the entire Federation of Independent Galaxy.

Relying on these relationships, in addition to continuously expanding the strength of the guardian planet, Tang Yu also planted a lot of hidden threads in it, only to explode in one fell swoop.

Now all Tang Yu's layout is waiting for that one fuse to be ignited, and once it is ignited, a storm will sweep across the entire galaxy, and this storm will involve everyone and all forces. Among them, there is no turning back! !

...

Corellian system, midpoint station.

This is a huge man-made space station between Talus and Tellus, a twin planet in the Corellian galaxy, built by the Turut tribe, a branch of the Killik people, 100,000 years ago. This huge space station has a cylindrical shape as a whole, with a total length of 350 kilometers. The two ends are thinner, with a diameter of about 40 kilometers, and the middle section is thicker, with a diameter of 130 kilometers.

The Corellians discovered this giant space station very early on, and they have been studying the functions of the space station, but they have never been able to do so. For a long time, a small scientific research town with a population of about 50,000 people was even formed on the midpoint station. But now, as the role of the midpoint station was revealed by Chen Gang, the Sakoria Big Three started a project to study their own giant battleship on the planet Corellia, using this as an excuse to move the town away.

At the same time, in order to cover up their large-scale excavation behavior, and also to prevent the Republic from noticing the internal changes in the Corellian Galaxy, the Sakorian Big Three also launched a massacre on several major planets in the Corellian Galaxy. A series of nationalist movements.

The three main races in the galaxy, the humans, the Drals, and the Seronians have established their own nationalist organizations, which are the Human Alliance representing the humans, the Dralists representing the Drals, and the Drals representing the The superior point of the Seronian [Note 1]. Under the secret control of the three giants of Sakoria, these three organizations began to attack and abuse each other crazily, accusing that it was because of the existence of other races that the economy of their own planet was in chaos, and further development was delayed. .

From the Republic's point of view, such quarrels seem to mean that there is some division and instability within the Corellian planet. The three major races should not break out in internal strife.

Under the mediation of Representative Organa, the war of words between the three organizations subsided a bit, but then they began to launch large-scale archaeological operations on their respective planets, trying to prove that their own race has lived here since ancient times , other races need to pay high taxes to set foot on their own planet.

Of course, the real purpose of these archaeological activities is to find the control center of the anti-gravity device buried inside the planet. Contrary to the fact that the Republic is worried that there may be disunity among the three major races in the Corellian galaxy, they are now united and want to do a big event, a big event that will shake the galaxy! In such a contrast, it is impossible for the Republic to think of this.

In the control center in the center of the midpoint station, Chen Gang and Shi Mingdong are in a very huge meeting room. Outside the panoramic windows around them, the beautiful scenery of the twin planets Talus and Tralus is reflected. The two beautiful planets happen to be On either side of the midpoint station, the distance is just right, just outside the Roche limit.

Corellian MP Gam Bell Iblis and another female MP Sheila Mericop were also in the conference room, as was the holographic projection of the mysterious Sakoria Big Three. In addition to the leaders of the three organizations, and the five grand dukes representing the five planets in the Corellia galaxy, the highest level of the entire Corellia is here. And these people are about to decide the future of the Corellian galaxy.

"Hasn't the anti-gravity device on Planet Draal been found yet?" Senator Iblis asked.

"Not yet. We don't have enough super-heavy drilling equipment on the planet Delal, which is rarely used on this planet." Grand Duke Delal said.

"It's too slow! We'll just wait for this planet now! Otherwise, send our drilling equipment there." The leader of the upper acupoint said impatiently.

"This is absolutely not possible. Don't forget that we are slandering each other on the surface! Isn't it fun to support a batch of instruments at such a time?" The leader of the Delalists shook his head, "Don't worry about things, we The team is almost approaching the last few possible locations. We have been waiting for so many years, do we still care about these few days?"

The human among the three giants of Sakoria coughed and asked: "How much has the fleet of the Kean Bureau recalled?"

The Grand Duke of Corellia replied: "Recently, the pirate activities around Corellia's hyperspace channel are very rampant, and the main fleet of the Republic is heading towards the planet Marathar, so there is no time to encircle and suppress the pirates. The event caused us heavy losses, but we just used this as an excuse to recall 110 warships. However, they are mainly small and medium-sized warships such as cr-90 multifunctional support ships, and we have no right to mobilize large warships."

"Planet Marathal now has more than 1,000 large warships assembled by both sides, and the entire galaxy is looking at Planet Marastal. This is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!!" Grand Duke Talus seemed a little excited , after all, the midpoint is between the planet Talus and the planet Tralus.

Suddenly, the communicator on Grand Duke Delal's body rang. He turned on the communicator and listened for a while, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn. He slowly put down the communicator, took a deep breath, and looked around at everyone around him. And everyone in the conference room was staring at him at the same time.

"Gentlemen, the anti-gravity device on Planet Delal has been found. Scientists are now cleaning up the site and preparing to activate the device." Grand Duke Delal said slowly.

The air in the entire meeting room suddenly seemed to condense, and everyone present sat down slowly. They all felt difficulty in breathing, looked at each other, and didn't speak, but there were very complicated emotions in their eyes, including excitement, fear, apprehension, and excitement... except for the heavy breathing Other than that, there was no other sound.

At this moment, Garm Bell Iblis, a member of the Corellia Star District, stood up, and he first bowed deeply to the Sakoria Big Three. The three giants glanced at each other and nodded slightly, then turned their heads to look at Senator Iblis at the same time, and saluted with their hands outstretched, which is an ancient etiquette in the Corellian sector.

Councilor Iblis came to the center of the conference room, pressed the remote control, and the entire conference room became dark immediately. The planets Talus and Tralus outside the panoramic window were reflected in a blue sky by the star Corellia of the Corellian galaxy. Green, and this soft light is projected into the conference room, which looks quiet and soft, making people unable to help but indulge in the beauty of the universe.

Perhaps the creator of the midpoint station also enjoyed this rare beauty here 100,000 years ago. The heavy atmosphere in the meeting room also relaxed a bit. At this time, Councilman Iblis said slowly: "Our Corellian galaxy has been waiting for this day for too long..."

[Note 1]: The Seronians are a race that lives underground. They are used to naming their organizations as xx cave, oo cave and so on.
