Chapter 582 Gambler’s Mentality
580. Gambler’s Mentality
Attacking the planet Christophersis is definitely not a simple matter.
The planet Christophsis has a diameter of 9,465 kilometers and is shaped into a blue-green crystal.
This is one of the most economically developed planets in the Outer Rim Star Region. It is located near the Corellian trade route, close to Hutt space, and adjacent to the Tatooine planet, a transportation thoroughfare on the edge of Hutt space. . At the same time, it is also very close to the planet Rodia.
As a planet with almost inexhaustible crystal resources, the planet Christophsis has received great attention from the beginning.
Even because this planet has been hit by asteroids for a long time, 600 years ago, nobles from Tepasi, a commercial center in the core circle of the Milky Way, paid a high price and sold it directly to Christopher West. An artificial moon was created next to the planet Sri Lanka, and the gravity of the moon and the defense system installed on it were used to prevent asteroid impacts.
The huge resource reserves have brought astronomical financial returns. The huge gap in job opportunities has led to an endless influx of immigrants. Various mining companies and trading companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. . And although this planet is still some distance away from the Corellia trade route, and the transportation is not developed, after all, it is not far away from the planet Tatooine, so the smuggling industry on this planet is also very developed.
Many smugglers travel between the planet Christophsis and the planet Tatooine, selling illegally mined crystals into the black market through various channels, and then transporting them to various dark corners of the galaxy.
Many gangs and illegal organizations will recruit some Force-sensitive people who have a little bit of Force talent but are disdainful to the Jedi Order, and then purchase some low-purity Kyber crystals on the black market to make them. They turned into inferior lightsabers and other weapons to show off. The source of many of these Kyber crystals is the planet Christophsis.
By the way, these people's lightsabers are really used to show off. If they really get into a fight over a disagreement, they will throw away the lightsaber very decisively, yell, 'Sir, times have changed...' and then pull it out. Just pull out the blaster and shoot.
On the planet Christophsis, human immigrants account for the majority, about 68%. Due to the unique climate and light on the planet, these humans have very dark skin, and they like to put crystals inlaid in their bodies. Use it on your forehead or body as decoration.
In addition, about 13% of the population are Rodians, most of whom are bounty hunters and are employed by various companies on the planet. There are also 11% of Croydonians. Most of this strong, beast-like race are mercenaries.
Under this basic structure, the total population of the planet Christophsis is——
35 billion!
It can be said that the total population of just such a planet is 20 times the population directly controlled by the entire fourth civilization!
Although the planet Christophersis does not have a very developed industrial system, their economy is developed enough and rich enough to hire enough mercenaries and bounty hunters to fight for them, and this alone is terrifying The population base determines the power of this planet.
A planet full of crystals cannot be a toothless tiger.
......
Admiral Trench went directly to the planet Mulkana, one of the core planets of the Enterprise Alliance. He found the chairman of the Enterprise Alliance, the Kuriva native Pa Ser Argent said to him: "We should attack the planet Christophsis, tsk tsk tsk..." "The planet Christophsis is of high value, but it is definitely not easy to surrender. We must conquer this planet. Planet, we need to pay more," Parcell Argent said, "Unless you have a good plan."
"There is no plan to win...tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk...but this is the only chance." Admiral Trench stroked his chelicerae at the corner of his mouth, "The Republic has just suffered a defeat. Their strength... is not enough, tut tut tut... If we wait for them to recover, we will have to pay more... tut tut tut."
Parcel Argent nodded and fell into it. meditation.
Admiral Trench said again: "The Rodians only recognize money and not people. But the Croydon people can win over...Tsk tsk tsk tsk. We can still find more. Help... I remember that Enterprise Alliance has a good relationship with Retail Clan, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
"Croydon people... you mean Retail Clan, indeed, they. We have a good relationship with the Croydons. However, we are now short of battleships. The fleet originally intended to attack the planet Christophsis suffered heavy losses on the planet Geonosis. Of course, I am not blaming you, but now. Before the new batch of warships leaves the factory, we do not have many warships on hand to carry out this large-scale operation," Parcell-Argent said.
Admiral Trench put a memory on the table and pushed it over, and said slowly: "In business, there is no guarantee of profit without loss...tsk tsk tsk tsk. But if you don't make a bet, you will never make money. tsk tsk tsk tsk... I listen. Said, there are a group of warships among the Semiers, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
After that, he turned and left here.
Parcell Argent opened this memory and saw a long list of data inside. It was the capital flow of the planet Christophersis back then. This series of data was quite large, although he didn’t know how accurate it was. , but it can be seen to some extent how rich this crystal planet is.
Looking at the long string of zeros in the data, Parcell Argent’s eyes became intense.
He pressed the communication button and said eagerly: "Tinaree King, tell me, how many fleets do we have now?"
A female Kuriva with red skin, blue robes, and a bird's tongue on her head appeared in the holographic projection. "I think we don't have any more fleets. We are facing the planet Bothawui." ) and the offensive on the planet Lanuos are locked in fierce battles, especially those of the Bothans. Their resistance is very determined."
"How sure are we if we want to attack the planet Christophsis?" Parcell-Argent then asked.
“This is simply impossible!” Tinari King concluded straightforwardly.
Pacell Argent was still unwilling to give in. He thought for a while and said: "Go and contact the Semiers. They should still have a fleet in their hands! Tell them that I have a big business to do. ! Also, get me the Retail Industry Alliance and I’ll talk to them personally!”
