Chapter 2220 Secretly Communicated the Song
2220 , Dark Tong Song
The peace talks between the Federation of Independent Galaxies and the Galactic Republic finally collapsed after a month of wrangling. Although the collapse of the talks was within everyone's expectations, the negotiation process that was originally planned to drag on for three months has now only lasted a third.
There are many reasons. First of all, it is a shame that Garm Bell Iblis, the representative of the Corellian sector, proposed this kind of negotiation in the parliament, because the representative of the Republic has no sincerity in the negotiation. He said that if such negotiations were spread, it would be a serious blow to the prestige of the Republic.
In addition, the peace negotiating representative sent by the Republic was exposed to scandals. Some people reported that he had accepted bribes and was instructed to sabotage the negotiation process. At the same time, the negotiator of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Minna Buntelli's son, Lux Buntelli, was kidnapped. The kidnapper asked her to terminate the peace negotiations, but the kidnapping was finally foiled by the Confederate Guards and Lux was rescued.
Not only that, but representatives of some industrial planets also made their own unique moves to oppose this peace negotiation. The representatives of these industrial planets hide themselves very well, and it is difficult to find out who they are instructed by.
The failure of the peace talks once again caused an uproar between the Republic and the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. The two sides had another war of words, accusing the other party of playing tricks, not wanting to negotiate, not wanting peace. However, compared to the undercurrent on the Republic side, the Confederacy's reaction to the failure of the peace talks was not that great.
Because Minna Bonteri really wanted to go to the peace talks, and after the negotiations failed, she also made public appearances, condemning the war actions of the Republic. And the representative of the Republic was taken away by the police immediately after returning to Coruscant...
The war broke out again, but even so, after the breakdown of the negotiation, neither side took action immediately, and the whole battle situation presented a strange tranquility.
...
"Thank you for your help, Your Excellency Bangira-Ulan. It is thanks to your efforts that the farce of this peace talk can be ended early." Tang Yu held a crystal wine glass in his hand and raised his hand to the holographic image in front of him. .
Bangira Ulan shook his head slightly and said: "For us military enterprises, war is of course the best way to make money. But even when the Republic wants to delay the time through negotiations, we still only received a small number of orders , Palpatine's partiality to the Kuat Power Dock has reached the point of blatantness. So since the continuation of the peace talks is not good for us, I will naturally not support it."
"During the Battle of Murkana, Admiral Wilhof Tarkin organized the so-called S Fleet, using specially-made shield ships to cover fire support battleships against my Blade Fleet. However, the firepower they chose The support warship is not your Lendili's latest Victory II Star Destroyer, nor is it a Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, but an old broadside-class guided missile cruiser.
Hehe... Quarter Productions. So it seems that your Lord Speaker is really not very good..." Tang Yu said unhurriedly, shaking his wine glass.
In fact, if it is really a leader with great ambitions, he will never do such a stupid thing between the two industrial giants, but Palpatine did it, even if it is obvious that it will cause the Lundili Interstellar The power company's centrifugal betrayal has already happened in the original plot.
This is actually a manifestation of the republic's corruption to the root. Kuat Power Dockyard was able to buy off officials and reach a political agreement to squeeze a Lundili Interstellar Power Company similar in size to them out of the market! Such an approach is unbelievable. Therefore, it can only explain one problem. The official that Kuat bought was Palpatine himself.
From this point, it can be seen that although Palpatine told Earl Dooku that he wanted to establish a new order and a clean and efficient government, but in fact he didn't intend to do so at all. Not only did he have no intention of cracking down on corruption, but he continued to use it for profit. He sold out the interests of Rendili Interstellar Power Company in exchange for the full support of Kuat Power Dockyard. This support may even include supporting him to become emperor in the future!
For Palpatine, ** doesn't matter, as long as he can be the emperor. If he wins over the Kuat Power Dock, he will have an endless supply of warships, and with countless warships, his throne will be extremely secure.
Tang Yu thought for a while, and continued: "I heard that Yingkang also took action in this incident?"
Bangira Ulan nodded and replied: "It's because of the 'Titanium Project'. Incom's Z-95 and Arc-170 fighters are excellent, but the Republic has given the main order to the V-wing produced by Kuat Power Shipyard. fighter jets. The proposal of the 'Titanium Project' is more like a political compromise between the Kuat Power Dockyard and the newly emerging Sienna Fleet System. In the future market, Kuat will be responsible for the construction of battleships, and Sienna will be responsible for the construction of the Titanium series fighters. , there is no room for other companies to survive, so it is not surprising that Yingkang has other ideas."
"Then what are your plans?" Tang Yu asked.
Bangira Ulan smiled and said, "Of course it's for the market, for the order, for the money..."
"I can continue to order Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers from you, with the Blade Fleet as a cover, I don't think it will be suspected by the Republic." Tang Yu said with a smile on his face.
Bangira Ulan's complexion changed and he said, "I've already said what I said. Are you still playing around with me? Your Excellency Tang Yu. I've already talked to Earl Dooku about this matter, but he suggested that I come Listen to your opinion."
Tang Yu took a sip of the red wine, then put the glass aside, and Christina came over to fill it up for him. These small moves are not entirely for pretense, but to create a kind of pressure in the negotiation. He said slowly: "Yingkang Company is not eye-catching. As long as it acts a little more secretly, there will be no major problems. Just transfer the core technicians and core data quietly. The Confederation of Independent Galaxy can provide A lot... but you Rendili are different..."
He raised his head and stared at Ulan, "As long as you show the slightest sign of dishonesty, the Republic will take action immediately, without any suspense, you will be occupied immediately, and then the people of Kuat will happily come to receive all your industries. In addition, as a company, do you really think that the interior is monolithic and everyone hates the Republic? Please, it’s the same wherever you go to work, why guard your Lundili? Kuat needs talents to expand..."
He didn't say anything else. In fact, Lundili's interstellar power company's betrayal was already in Palpatine's calculations, and there is no doubt that Lundili must have been reserved by Palpatine as a balance between the two parties. A chess piece of strength. Once the confederation is vulnerable, he will turn a blind eye and let Lundili join the confederation, but once the war is in full swing, then Lundili will be useless. On the contrary, maybe Palpatine is quite looking forward to Lundili's betrayal. After all, in this way, the Kuat Power Shipyard can be further developed, making his emperor's road stronger.
