Chapter 2007 Cooperation Expands
? 2007, cooperation started
After the initial burst of excitement, Tang Yu quickly calmed down. Was the gift from Count Dooku and the Confederation of Independent Systems generous? generous. is that useful? it works. But in fact it is a hidden mystery!
After the Confederacy of Independent Galaxies really embarks on the track of war, the fleet they gave to Tang Yu will be placed under the unified command of the Confederation's Supreme Command, that is to say, this fleet will still be handed over in the end, they just It's just handing over these warships from the left hand to the right hand.
As for assisting the guardian planet in developing industry and robot manufacturing, of course it is to quickly incorporate the guardian planet's industrial capabilities into the confederation's war machines so that they can exert more power in future wars.
So in this series of meeting gifts, the only useful thing is the planetary shield and 50 million credits.
But such a result is what Tang Yu is happy to see, because he planned to intervene in this war from the beginning, but now he just switched sides. Earl Dooku was very correct in one thing, that is, war is the fastest means of development. And their Lanxiang team, what is their guardian empire coming to the world of "Star Wars" for? develop! !
So after a good start, the next thing is easy to say. The fact that the guardian planet joined the Confederation of Independent Galaxies was kept secret. Only a few people such as Tang Yu and Dooku knew about it. On the surface, they were still in the camp of the Galactic Republic. And Peacock and Svetlana are still running tirelessly in Coruscant, trying to win more support for the guardian planet.
The trade embargo against the guardian planet issued by Newt Gunley is still continuing, but behind this superficial blockade, the real cooperation between the two parties has actually begun. When Newt Gunley set foot on the guardian planet for the second time, his attitude was a 180-degree turn and he became very polite. He kept apologizing in front of Tang Yu, and explained that his previous blackmail was just to take advantage of the opportunity Just make a fortune.
But now that Tang Yu has joined the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, naturally he won't show Newt Gunley the same face as a child. The two sides immediately changed from the previous tense to the current chatter.
From Newt Gunley, Tang Yu also learned a lot. For example, whether it is the Trade Union, the Interstellar Banking Association, the Commercial Guild, or the Technology Alliance, these four super giant business alliances in the galaxy In fact, they are betting on both ends. They not only support the Republic, but also support the Confederation of Independent Galaxies.
From the perspective of these commercial alliances, this war will make them a lot of money, because both sides in the war will eventually rely on their strength in order to expand their armies. So many people have a misunderstanding after watching the "Star Wars: The Prequel" trilogy, thinking that the Clone Wars is the Galactic Republic against the Trade Federation,
Actually this is wrong. Newt Gunley is only one of the governors of the Trade Union, and he can only represent a part of the Trade Union. In fact, the main body of the Trade Union is still on the side of the Republic.
And the secret cooperation between the Confederation of Independent Galaxies and the Guardian Planet gradually unfolded through Newt Gunley. The spaceship of the Trade Federation soon came to the Guardian Planet, sent a planetary shield, and installed it in Australia. In addition, a large number of engineers and technical teams came here to guide the construction of the factory.
It takes a very complicated process to bring the technology of the Guardian Planet and the Confederation of Independent Galaxies into line. Such as the computer operating system, such as the standard weapons used, such as the general energy supply system, and other aspects including medical treatment, currency, language, education, etc., it can be said to be a very large project.
The guardian planet, which had been idle for almost a month, immediately became busy, cooperating in all aspects.
The banks of the Interstellar Banking Association have also begun to open outlets on the guardian planet, and began to circulate credit points based on the bank. In recent years, the currency of the guardian planet is still valid, and the two currencies are temporarily parallel, and the purchasing power of the currency of the guardian planet is guaranteed by the government debt.
Under Li Xinghao's organization, a large number of factories were built on the Guardian planet, and these factories will produce various parts for the Confederation of Independent Galaxies to repay debts. The first orders received were relatively simple parts, such as robot arms, gears, hydraulic transmissions, etc. After the industrial upgrade of the guardian planet, more advanced factories will be opened.
And under the organization of Bolivar Trask, the Guardian Planet and the Trade Union have also carried out a series of technical cooperation, and the Trade Union will help the Guardian Planet develop its own interstellar fighter. And before the guardian planet has the ability to protect its own planet, lease 1,000 vulture robot fighters to the guardian planet.
This series of cooperation alone has left Guardian Planet with a debt of nearly 20 billion credit points, and there will be more debts in the future. On this point, Tang Yu didn't care at all. Anyway, it's like this between countries. Most of the time, it's the uncle who owes money. The current situation of the guardian planet is very similar to that when Huaxia was just founded and received aid from the former Soviet Union. In fact, Tang Yu's calculations are the same as those of Huaxia's predecessors.
It doesn't matter if you owe money or pretend to be a grandson, as long as you can improve your strength, everything is easy to talk about.
However, although everything seems to be going well so far, when Newt Gunley once again asked for product sales, Li Xinghao resolutely refused. What the guardian planet needs is to develop its own strength, not to become a vassal of the trade alliance. It has been some time since I came to the world of "Star Wars", and some inside stories have gradually been learned by Tang Yu and the others. For example, why did the Trade Federation launch a war against Planet Naboo 8 years ago? 1 Starfighter! !
The launch of the N-1 starfighter means that Naboo will have completely independent research and development capabilities, and will no longer be completely dependent on the trade alliance, which will prevent the trade alliance from monopolizing the Naboo market. At that time, Veruna, the king of Naboo, was also eager to get rid of the 30-year control of the trade alliance. He ignored the warning of Palpatine, who was not the speaker at the time, and finally caused a war.
So to put it bluntly, the Battle of Naboo Star is very similar to Zhenbaodao in all aspects. On the one hand, they want to be independent, stand up and be their own masters, and on the other hand, they want to continue to control and want the other party to continue to be a vassal. That's why the conflict broke out.
Li Xinghao still sees this very clearly. With the prestige of Earl Dooku, he sees that Newt Gunley is still afraid to make small moves. Therefore, they began to think of ways to open up their own business routes and sell the products of the guardian planet to other parts of the galaxy, so as to prevent the economic lifeline of the guardian planet from being controlled by the trade union.
In order to strengthen the effect in this regard, under Li Xinghao's suggestion, Tang Yu decided to hold a small-scale military parade on the guardian planet! Show your military power in front of Earl Dooku, give Earl Dooku some chips in his heart who is actively preparing for the battle, and prevent Newt Gunley from making small moves behind his back.
