Chapter 2237
2237. Make the best use of the situation
Tang Yu smiled sarcastically and said: "End the war? Ending the war in this way will only cause greater conflicts in the future, and will make it impossible for you to end. Now the Republic and the Confederacy are confronting each other, and all the conflicts It is all on the bright side, which gives us a chance to resolve these contradictions. But if you use the midpoint station to forcefully end the war, the contradictions will not be resolved, but will explode in unexpected places. And ..."
Tang Yu squinted and glanced at Count Dooku, "The midpoint station, once used, will destroy the entire planet. What are you going to do? A rebellion broke out in Umbala, destroying the planet Umbara, and a rebellion broke out in Mon Cala , Destroy the planet Mon Cala... Do you think the riots will stop because of this? Never, in this way there will only be more rebellions. Because of the existence of the midpoint station, everyone loses hope of life. There is no hope, why not give it a shot?"
After finishing speaking, he paused, leaned back on the back of the sofa, and raised his legs, "Besides, there will always be times when you can't make a move. What do you do when a rebellion breaks out in Lasax? What do you do when a rebellion breaks out in Coruscant? Destroy Coruscant? Even if you do this, after a few decades, what is left of the galaxy? Any order imposed by the deterrence of force will not last long. So you should be more rational now, you should not fail to see this of."
Count Dooku closed his eyes to calm himself down a bit. It is true that the halfway point was too tempting for him. When he and Palpatine launched the DS-1 project and started building the Death Star, he had longed for this super weapon, but now, with a ready-made super weapon in front of him, he really almost lost it. sanity.
"Could it be that the Midpoint Station wouldn't be like this in the hands of the Corellians?" Earl Dooku asked.
"They are a group of businessmen. Even a planet with a population of only one million, they don't have the heart to do it. Therefore, it is most appropriate for the midpoint to stand in the hands of Corellia, at least for now." Tang Yu replied, "The reason why now I just told you because I was worried that you would think too much."
Earl Dooku snorted coldly: "How much do you think? Hehe, you want to..."
As he said that, his face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Are you still doubting me? You are still worried that I will hand over all the results of the struggle to Palpatine, so you want to wait until everything is a foregone conclusion, and force me to Not going forward?"
"That's what it means. Now that the Corellian galaxy is independent and the Galactic Republic has cut off its own arm, in such a situation, it's too late for you to go back on your word." Tang Yu said lightly.
"Nonsense!!! If you told me about this matter in advance and let me assist you with the layout, the situation would be much better!! And you gave up this great opportunity because of the doubts in your heart?! Do you think Corelli How long can that group of merchants be independent? Do you think they are Palpatine's opponents?" Earl Dooku said sharply.
Tang Yu was a little silent, he understood that the loophole in this layout was here. In fact, he just brought the rebellion ahead of time in the Corellian system, because the Corellian system has long been prone to isolationism, and they would be more than happy to become independent when the time comes. Therefore, whether they are independent has little to do with who is in power in Corellia, but has to do with their ability to be independent.
But here lies the problem. In the original plot, when the Corellian galaxy launched a rebellion and wanted to be independent, their opponent was the New Republic. As we all know, the New Republic is a regime established by a group of idealists who only talk about ideals, not reality. After defeating the Galactic Empire, she couldn't wait to squeeze out Princess Leia,
Make peace with the remnants of the empire, make peace with domestic oligarchs. But others don't look down on this group of mud legs at all. After the collapse of the empire, the Kuat Power Shipyard ran to support the First Order as soon as it turned around. This is a clear proof.
And the saddest thing is that in the face of Kuat's blatant traitorous behavior, the New Republic dared not attack Kuat Power Shipyard at all. As a result, when the First Order returned, the main battleships of the New Republic remained the Mon Calamari cruisers. This is the New Republic, a powerless regime.
However, the group of wimps in the Corellian galaxy are no match for the New Republic, let alone the more cunning Heev Palpatine? !
But the truth is this, Tang Yu can't be subdued in front of Earl Dooku. He always understood that no matter how much Count Dooku believed in him, he was still a Sith, and an old fox who had been in politics for decades. For such a person, never confide in him, because in the eyes of politicians, there is no emotion. Therefore, even if Tang Yu said that he would tell Earl Dooku all the arrangements, it was impossible for him to tell him that the iron-blooded fleet led by Longya had been lurking as early as when Chen just started his activities in Corellia. Once inside the Corellian galaxy, it is impossible to tell him that the large number of 00 terminators carried in the personal spaces of Chen Gang and Shi Mingdong are enough to turn things around in critical moments.
Tang Yu smiled and said: "Because I know how strong the covenant and agreement between you and Palpatine are, I will only believe the general trend I see, not what I say. The current situation is that because of the independence of the Corellian galaxy, it is no longer possible for you to go back to the past, respect Palpatine as the master, and Palpatine is the Sith Lord, but if you kill him, you are Lord, and because I have taken this step, I can truly be sure that the new order will be born in our hands, and I will also be your most steadfast ally."
Earl Dooku took a deep look at Tang Yu, then changed the subject and said, "Gam Bell Iblis, who had previously served as the first executive officer of the Five-Star Alliance, has secretly sent me a message and asked about our independence. The attitude of the Confederation of Galaxies. Although it seems abrupt to me, I still promise that the Confederation will recognize the independent sovereignty of the Five-Star Alliance. I think you have also guaranteed them in private, right?"
Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Without telling him, Earl Dooku chose to follow the trend and recognize the independent sovereignty of the Five-Star Alliance, which showed that he had indeed seen an opportunity from this incident, and also Strengthened his determination to fight against Palpatine. More importantly, he chose to trust Tang Yu despite the unknown situation.
Tang Yu nodded and said: "The Five-Star Alliance did not publicly announce the existence of the Midpoint Station, which means that they only want to use this weapon to force the Republic and the Confederacy to recognize their independence, and they don't want to make things big, they just want to make a fortune in silence That’s all. Now that the news of the Five-Star Alliance’s independence has not been officially made public, the Corellians should still be bargaining with the Republic.”
Earl Dooku sneered and said: "They are too naive. Regardless of me and the Confederacy, when Darth Sidious knows the existence of the midpoint station, he may let it go? The blocking field will not stop the Republic fleet for too long Time, but before that, I believe Sidious must have already done it!"
