Chapter 2083 Unlimited Assault War
083. Unlimited Assault War
The outer ring of the Milky Way, the capital of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, and the star of Lasax IV.
"Have you reached an agreement with the Hutts? Your Excellency Tang Yu." Earl Dooku said as he greeted Tang Yu with a table of extremely rich dishes.
"Actually, I've heard from Zhou Qing that you want to entrust him to kidnap Jabba the Hutt's son. But I think it's better to use some other methods than this way." Tang Yu said.
"What did the Hutt say?" Count Dooku asked.
"They are willing to maintain an absolutely neutral position and open their hyperspace routes to us, but correspondingly, they will also put forward the same conditions for the Republic." Tang Yu replied.
After thinking for a while, Count Dooku nodded slightly and said, "You helped us solve a big problem, Your Excellency Tang Yu. After the brilliant victory on Planet Jabim, I originally wanted to visit the Guardian Planet again, but I heard that You went to Nashada, but you actually brought me such a surprise. On behalf of all the participating galaxies of the Federation of Independent Galaxies, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you."
"This is what I should do." Tang Yu nodded and replied.
"But there is a hidden danger in this solution." Earl Dooku changed the subject and said, "From the perspective of the Hutts, everything has a price, so can you really trust them to keep their promises? In other words, What if they are suddenly bought by the Republic when our main fleet passes through the Hutt space? Maybe we will have many ways to make the Hutt people miserable, but if we lose this war, then everything is empty talk .”
Tang Yu nodded thoughtfully. As an old-fashioned politician, Earl Dooku really thought of something more comprehensive and faced the darkness of human nature more directly.
Seeing Tang Yu's appearance, Earl Dooku continued: "The reason why I chose to kidnap Jabba's son is mainly to convey a message that we have the power to threaten their safety. And tell them straightforwardly, who will He is the boss. And Ziro is actually one of the pawns we can use, which can make it easier for us to intervene in the internal affairs of the Hutts. It is actually a loss to hand him over to the Hutts Council directly. But my There may be deficiencies in this plan, but we should follow this line of thinking when dealing with the Hutts, rather than trying to negotiate fairly with them."
"In other words, the agreement I reached with the Hutts made us a little bit tied? Besides, did I actually underestimate the value of Qi Luo?" Tang Yu asked humbly.
"In terms of results, yes. But in terms of process, your approach is not wrong, on the contrary, it is better than what we have done. The reason why I tell you this is because as the war unfolds, the guardian The Raider Planet brings me more and more surprises. I even look forward to the fact that you can become my successor, one day bear the banner of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies from me, and fight for the freedom and justice of the Milky Way. Therefore, I hope you can see further and do better," said Earl Dooku.
Tang Yu was a little surprised by these words. For a while, he couldn't judge whether Earl Dooku was digging a hole for him or what, so he could only politely say: "You are too famous, Earl Dooku. I also said that since Decided to participate in this war, then victory is my only goal."
"Very well, this is actually where your guardian planet is stronger than other planets. Maybe your technology and industrial level are not developed, but compared to these galaxies that have been peaceful for tens of thousands of years,
Your planet is at war. And you just joined the galactic economy, your planet is practically self-sufficient. These two points alone make Guardian Planet the most powerful interstellar fortress. said Count Dooku.
Tang Yu didn't object to this, and he replied with a chuckle: "So I don't mind fighting a war, or rather, I'm looking forward to it."
Earl Dooku nodded approvingly and said, "Because you successfully reached an agreement with the Hutts and won the Battle of Jabim, I decided to reward you. I will ask the Trade Federation to give your planet more help, Let your industry and technology develop faster, and I will give you a dock that can produce 300-meter-class warships. At the same time, I officially appoint you as the general of the confederation, and officially transfer the command of the G theater to you , Admiral Trench will be your deputy."
This reward is not insignificant, and it is also what Tang Yu needs most. Needless to say, the importance of a dock capable of producing 300-meter-long warships, the handover of the command of the G theater to him has given him great convenience. Because no matter how much the relationship between Tang Yu and Admiral Trench is, Trench was the commander of the G theater after all before, and he has the power to mobilize various forces in Tang Yu's hands, which makes Tang Yu very uncomfortable . But now, this problem has also been easily solved.
Earl Dooku continued: "Actually, the recent battle situation is not optimistic for us. The Republic launched a counterattack near the planet Quill, and General Grievous's fleet happened to be in the Fallin galaxy near the Quill galaxy. He has already engaged with the Republic's fleet. However, the Republic's offensive is very resolute and has invested more than 30 cruisers. At present, it seems that General Grievous is likely to lose this battle. You know that we and the Republic's largest Where is the gap?"
Tang Yu frowned and asked, "Where is it?"
"The gap between battleships!" Earl Dooku said: "There are two shipyards at the core of the Galactic Republic, the Kuat Power Shipyard, and the Rendili Star Power Company. They are also the best shipbuilders in the entire galaxy. They began to build warships for the Republic before. Therefore, their warship design is completely for war, and thousands of years of accumulation have allowed their shipbuilding technology to far surpass other companies."
"But in contrast, commercial giants such as the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association also have good shipbuilding capabilities, but the warships they build are all for commercial services. For example, the Generosity-class frigate, the Interstellar Banking Association The main purpose of designing and building this kind of battleship is to intimidate those who owe them money, or to protect their merchant fleet. It is not a good fleet class battleship. The Rookie Hook class battleship of the Trade Federation Not to mention, just five years ago, these warships were really just cargo ships."
"So even if the number is the same, the combat power of the Republic fleet is much stronger than our fleet. A fleet composed of just one type of ship, the Jaeger-class cruiser, can compete with our Disobedient-class destroyers, Generosity-class frigates, and Providence-class cruisers." Comparing with composite fleets, they are often stronger. That is to say, in fact, we are always at a disadvantage on the space battlefield." Earl Dooku said.
On this point, in the judgment before coming to this world, Tang Yu and the others also came to a similar conclusion. He nodded and waited for Earl Dooku's next words.
There was a trace of indifference in Earl Dooku's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The privateer bill proposed by the Peacock Councilor earlier reminded me that I decided to use our power to launch an unlimited assault war within the territory of the Republic. !! We will launch an attack on every spaceship in every lane, no matter whether they are civilian spaceships or military spaceships!!"
Tang Yu frowned and said: "Actually, the Privateer Act is continuing now, and those star thieves are also constantly attacking the spaceships of the Republic. Although the effect has begun to decline since the start of the war, after all, it is the star thieves who execute these. Once by If we make this kind of unrestricted assault war public, I worry that we will lose the hearts of the people."
