Chapter 427 A bosom friend is hard to find
425. A bosom friend is hard to find
The Airu people have about 100 warships guarding the capital planet Annaji, 20 of which are Defender-class frigates about 100 meters long and CR-12 frigates, and most of the others are small spacecraft bought from the black market.
In the Airu people's plan, they believe that the one hundred or so spaceships on the Vathian planet are the entire main force of the Dawn planet.
After all, a planet with a population of only about 5 million, if nothing else, just fill these 100 battleships, and count the 300 ghost fighters, there will be almost 20,000 people. Others Don’t you need people for logistics and other things?
But when the Hiigaran-class battlecruiser appeared, all the illusions of the Aru people were shattered.
The Hiigaran-class battlecruiser is 1,009 meters long, with a flat body and a streamlined shape, which looks very eye-catching. The main gun of this warship is two twin-mounted heavy particle beam cannons, which are installed on the upper and lower sides of the bow. The secondary gun is eight quadruple-mounted turbolaser cannons, arranged on both sides of the warship. In addition, there are close-defense laser cannons. With 20 seats, there is almost no blind spot for firepower.
Although there are not many turrets, the two main guns in the front have a very powerful and sufficient energy supply. Although the power is slightly inferior to the turbo laser cannon of the same power, it does not require explosive gas after all. Considering that if the imaginary enemy is the Galactic Republic, the supply of explosive gas will probably be limited, so the designer still retained this design.
If you exclude the more than 4,000-meter treaty battleships of the Republic's Judicial Fleet and the kilometer-class battleships that are still on the drawings, the Higra-class battlecruiser is built in defiance of the restrictions of the Rusan Treaty. The first kilometer-class battleship is now the most powerful battleship in the galaxy!
When he saw the Hiigaran-class battlecruiser's main gun blasting a Defender-class frigate from head to tail with a single shot, the extremely excited Newt Gunray raised his head and filled the A glass of wine poured into his mouth.
"Hahahaha! Your Excellency Tang Xiao, with this powerful Higra-class battlecruiser, and in the future with the Shenyi-class cruiser that we cooperate with Lundili Interstellar Power Company, our fleet will be invincible in the entire galaxy. ! Hahahaha!" Newt Gunray held his hands in excitement.
"We still have a long way to go, Mr. Governor, especially Kuat Power Shipyard, never underestimate the power that such an old industrial giant can explode." Tang Xiao waved, and a robot came over to help Gang. Lei filled up the wine, "Actually, I didn't want to send the Hiigaran class here like this. It would be terrible if the news leaked. But Sidious is big...cough cough cough cough!!"
< br>Tang Xiao realized he had lost his words halfway through speaking, pretended to be choked by wine, coughed violently, and then began to talk to him, "Well, when are we going to negotiate with the Queen of the Airu people?"< br>
"There is no rush to negotiate. Anyway, the Semires people also have a fleet here, but..." Newt Gunray approached Tang Xiao with a strange expression. He asked softly in a voice that only two people could hear, "Did you just say, Sidious?"
"No! No! What, why are you obedient? I said that It's the Ailu councilor Mulasis!" Tang Xiao denied it.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency Tang Xiao. I also have the support of Lord Sidious. It is also because of him that I was able to become the Governor of the Trade Alliance after the attack on the Eriadu Business Summit. He has been very kind to me. "Yes!" Newt Gunray said mysteriously.
"Nonsense! I have never known Darth Sidious!" Tang Xiao denied again, but did not go away, as if he was speaking out of integrity.
"I understand, I understand. That Lord is the Lord of the Dark Side, and naturally his name cannot be mentioned casually." Newt Gunray said, "I understand even if you don't talk about it." He said, "I now understand why the Fourth Group was so generous and came up with the blueprint of such an advanced Hiigaran-class battlecruiser. It turns out that this was all arranged by that adult. It seems that we are all that great Where are the participants in the plan?"
Tang Xiao looked at Newt Gunray in confusion, but still shook his head, "I haven't seen Darth Sidious, but I have seen him. "Darth Maul! We fought together on the planet Naboo!" Newt Gunray kept getting closer.
Because he is so lonely!
Darth Sidious showed up in person to pull him into the chariot, but he never saw anyone. He didn't know what Sidious was planning, so his heart was filled with fear. You know, as far as he knows, the two times Sidious took action were the terrorist attack on the Eriadu Business Summit and the other the Battle of Naboo. And he also knew that the Battle of Naboo was just an obvious part of a series of conspiracies, and that alone was enough to shock the entire galaxy. So what is Sidious's real purpose? Newt Gunray trembles all over just thinking about it.
But he still couldn't tell anyone. Apart from him, the only ones who knew about Sidious were Rune Harkor and Doltai Dauphin. These two people were even more cowardly than him. , not to mention that Daltair Dauphin has died on the planet Naboo.
He had told Count Dooku about Sidious before. Although Count Dooku promised to tell the Jedi Order, he didn’t know whether he said so or not, and it was hard for him to ask. this matter.
In the midst of such depression, another person who seemed to be supported by Sidious suddenly appeared. Could Newt Gunray be unhappy?
However, Tang Xiao shook his head, "It's not Darth Maul. After Darth Maul died, Lord Sidious found another apprentice, who was stronger, younger, and..."< br>
He stared into Newt Gunray's eyes and said seriously: "Even more handsome."
Newt Gunray took a breath of cold air, "Another disciple appears? In the galaxy. How many Sith Lords are there?”
“Maybe there are more Sith Lords than Darth Sidious, but it is impossible for us to know this dark information. I don’t know the name of that apprentice, but I just know that this apprentice is active in many things now," Tang Xiao said softly.
"Then what are they planning?" Newt Gunray humbly asked for advice as if he had found a close friend.
"Subverting the Galactic Republic may be just the first step. He must have other plans after that, but even I don't know." Tang Xiao looked around and said cautiously.
"Then we should..."
"Let's settle things here first. The Model Star Sector is a key part of 'that Lord's' plan." Tang Xiao said.
Newt Gunray nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, the massacre of one against a hundred outside the planet Annaji finally ended. Nothing could be seen in the outer orbit of the planet except the wreckage of countless battleships.
"Inform the battlecruiser 'Ganglei' to leave here as soon as possible after collecting combat data and return to the Golden Nice Shipyard." Tang Xiao gave the order. .
Soon, the Hiigaran-class battlecruiser named 'Ganglei' started its hyperspace engine and disappeared in an instant.
