Chapter 599 Awarding of Honors

597. Awarding of Honors

Sarabin, the energy planet located in the core area, was once occupied by separatists!

Such news shocked the people of the Galactic Republic. After several days of preparation and planning, Speaker Sheev Palpatine officially held an emergency meeting on June 22 and proposed Resolution No. 426117. .

According to the content of this bill, the local defense forces of each planet will be strengthened. The Republic will dispatch military advisory groups to urge these planets to expand their military scale, purchase warships and fighter jets, and ensure that every soldier in the army accepts After more than 3 months of rigorous training.

However, most of this additional expense has to be borne by these planets themselves. The Republic will only provide about a quarter of the funds as subsidies. Not only that, the ground forces and space fleets established by these planets must accept the Republic's highest strategy. unified command of the headquarters.

This bill is equivalent to expanding the military for all people and imposing war on every planet.

The wealthy planets in the inner and core circles naturally don't matter, but many planets in the middle and outer rings simply cannot afford such high expenses.

As I said before, most of the planets in the middle and outer rings were originally technologically and civilizationally unable to meet star civilization standards. However, after joining the Republic, they were forcibly raised and their productivity could not be satisfied at all. need. Therefore, most planets can only be used as places for dumping goods and exporting labor and raw materials. This approach makes these planets that are already burdened with heavy war taxes even worse.

The council representatives from Kuat Dynamic Shipyard and Corellia Engineering Company couldn't hold back their laughter on the spot. They were so happy. Once this bill is passed, it will be equivalent to another excuse for them to plunder the wealth of other planets. They can also renovate the outdated equipment that has been accumulated for hundreds of years and sell it at a high price. As for whether these equipment can really be used Resisting the separatist invasion is none of my business!

However, this bill was desperately opposed by a group of congressmen led by Bail Organa, a member of the Alderaan planet. For a while, the Republic Parliament was once again in a state of turmoil and the atmosphere was very tense.

On the other side, in the LSX subplanet, the administrative center of the Confederation of Independent Systems, Rosanna Goodes, the parliamentary representative of the Dawn Planet, made an impassioned speech in the Confederation’s parliament with a proud look on her face. word. After Francis Underwood became Prime Minister of the Fourth Civilization, the Dawn Planet’s councilor to the Confederation of Independent Systems was appointed by Rosanna Goodes, who was once an elite business negotiator and the original founder of the Fourth Civilization One of a group of talents awakened, she finally reached the pinnacle of her life.

She conveyed this shocking news to everyone - the soldiers of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, led by General Severance Tann, broke into the core circle of the Galactic Republic and occupied the energy planet Sarabin. And it caused power outages on dozens of planets in the core circle!

Not only that, she also directly took out the Republic's secret weapon - the extractor's data, and handed it to Count Dooku himself as a trophy on the spot.

This is why this move was evaluated as a brilliant move by the wily Baron Helmut Zemo. Once the data on this secret weapon is handed over to the public, the possibility of Count Dooku borrowing the resources of the Confederation of Independent Systems to research this thing and then hand it over to Darth Sidious will be eliminated!

You know, because of Darth Sidious's public identity - Speaker Palpatine is in the public eye after all, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at his position, so he must do it in every aspect. Best, to the extent that it can become a role model for everyone.

At least for now. Therefore, he cannot do a lot of work in private, so a lot of dirty work is actually handed over to the Confederacy of Independent Systems under the leadership of Count Dooku. The most famous project is the DS-1 project, also known as the famous Death Star!

The Death Star is a magnificent project completed by the Geonosians. It has to be said that this insectoid race may be born with a talent for this kind of giant construction, whether it was once prosperous hundreds of thousands of years ago. The Kiliks of the past and the current Geonosians are all very good at completing such super projects.

This huge project was developed by Darth Sidious under the command of Count Dooku. Count Dooku deceived the members of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and told them that it was used to deal with The super weapon of the Republic, so those corporate giants and various Confederate planets who were anxious to lose on the battlefield spent money and effort. On top of the heavy war taxes, the cost of a super project was added, and then it was completed. .

In the end, these secret projects became the possession of Darth Sidious, and those who contributed money and efforts, including Count Dooku himself, all became victims.

Interestingly, the Death Star's powerful super laser cannon, whose energy focusing system is based on Kyber crystals, began with the Extractor project.

Now, Rosanna Goodes directly put the extractor project up, letting everyone know that there is such a thing, but the details will not be made public, and then handed it directly to Count Dooku. As a result, Count Dooku will face many restrictions if he wants to quietly hand over this project to Darth Sidious.

On the other hand, the great power displayed by the Extractor in Sarabin has fallen into the eyes of the Republic. Handing the Extractor to Count Dooku at this time is equivalent to handing him this hot potato.

Finally, the productivity of the Fourth Civilization is tight. Just give this expensive project to Count Dooku and let him organize funds and manpower to research it. Anyway, at this stage, the strength of the Confederacy has only benefits and no harm to the fourth civilization.

This is equivalent to delaying the development and manufacturing of the Death Star. You must know that if the Death Star is really completed later, the Fourth Civilization will now fight to the death, and it will be useless no matter how much territory it captures. The Death Star will directly shoot at the Dawn Planet, and everything will become a cloud.

Count Dooku was on the LS planet at the moment. He took the extractor's data memory with a smile on his face, without any clues.

After that, he announced that he would hold a public medal ceremony for the generals who had won this stage of the offensive, and expressed that he would personally meet with Severance Tann, the general who had fought all the way to the core of the Republic. , and put the medal on her personally.

But Rosanna Goodes said that General Tann was seriously injured due to a shameless sneak attack by the Jedi. He was recovering from his injuries on the Dawn Planet and could not participate in the awarding in time, so he could only let General Tann's Adjutant, Lin Nan came to attend.
