1082. Confederation Summit (Part 2)
“...Our warriors are fighting on the planet Lixi! ”
Boom! Boom! The AT-TE all-terrain tactical assault walker moved forward with heavy steps. The anti-infantry scatter laser cannon in front kept firing, and the heavy howitzer on top also fired powerful grenades.
In the direction of the mountains and mining areas ahead, countless black shadows flew over like locusts!
But these are not locusts, but hundreds of thousands of Geonosians!
They held special sonic blasters, flew flexibly in the air, and then rained down artillery fire on the Republic positions.
At the same time, all the guns, artillery and missiles in the Republic's positions were firing at the sky, and countless killed Geonosians fell from the sky, as if it were raining...
"...They are still fighting in the Yago-Dur galaxy!"
Two huge Agniev-class interstellar bases are slowly rotating, and the energy core in the center of the base is like a deep luminous well. Always exudes dazzling light. The powerful pulse lasers installed on the four corners of the base irradiated rhythmically, leaving long burn marks on all invading Republic warships.
The fleets on both sides were arranged in strange formations, and they did not dare to step beyond the thunder pool. Even the fighter formations moved very cautiously, as if they were flying and fighting along invisible passages.
The battle turned into a competition of pure firepower between the two sides.
This is because the complex gravity and magnetic field in the three-body system Yago-Dur makes the entire battlefield area unpredictable. They have to always keep their battleships and fighter formations fighting in a safe area.
Despite this, such a battle is still extremely cruel.
In addition to being destroyed by the opponent's powerful artillery fire, there are always battleships and fighter jets that accidentally rush out of the safe zone because they are eager to avoid the opponent's attack, and are then involved in the ever-changing magnetic field and gravitational traps and lose control. .
The battleship is okay, maybe there is a chance to come back after a struggle. But a fighter jet would be torn into pieces almost instantly.
"...They are fighting hard in every corner of the galaxy!" Count Dooku said loudly at the summit of the Federation of Independent Systems on the sub-planet of Laxus.
“But now, I am very honored to announce that our supreme military commander, General Grievous, achieved a decisive victory in the battle on the planet Kamino! He destroyed the clones of the Galactic Republic The factory has obtained the DNA data of clones! Now, the clone army will have nothing to fear!”
With Count Dooku’s voice, tens of thousands of representatives raised their hands and cheered, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic.
"At the same time, our Federation of Independent Systems will also implement the first round of military reforms! Updated, more powerful warships will come off the production line! Enter the battlefield! Completely defeat the evil Galactic Republic!" Du Earl Ku continued.
In the huge holographic projection, combat images of Behemoth-class battlecruisers, Masha-class heavy missile cruisers, Dunov-class battlecruisers, Doomsday Arena-class heavy cruisers, and even a hypothetical Infinity-class super aircraft carrier appeared. Pictures and construction process. These extremely powerful new warships immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the venue became lively again.
“At the same time, we will also reintegrate our forces! We will face conscription from all participating planets, use military service to offset the pressure of war taxes, and will build factories extensively and integrate logistics , let us concentrate our power more! The Confederation of Independent Systems will surely win!" Count Dooku shouted with arms raised.
In fact, most planets are not interested in these slogans of victory, but the statement of offsetting war taxes is real. This is what they really care about.
The war has been going on for more than a year, and now these planets have been hollowed out by heavy taxes. They have to issue bonds year after year, mortgage resources and production, and make their debts to those super corporate giants more and more. More and more, more and more. The result that can be encountered is to mortgage their entire planet, and then allow the people of the planet to be taken away by these corporate giants.
However, while the representatives of these planets were full of excitement, several people in the seats of the core members turned a little ugly.
Pasiel Argent, chairman of the Enterprise Alliance, Walter Tambor, the foreman of the Technology Alliance, Shu Mai, the leader of the Commercial Guild, Bogle-Inferior, the Archduke of the Planet Geonosis, and others. Everyone looked around, and when they saw each other with the same confused expressions and the leaders and representatives of the Interstellar Banking Association, the Trade Federation, the Dawn Planet, the Fourth Group, and the Samirs Planet who looked calm, their faces changed. It sank even more.
At this time, Shu Mai, the leader of the commerce guild, finally couldn't bear it anymore. She pressed the speak button, stood up and said loudly: "Then, Count Dooku, before we cheer for victory, should we explain? Let’s talk about this so-called reform!”
“I will answer all the questions you raised, Dear Mrs. Shu-Mai.” Count Dooku saluted politely.
"The Disobedient class light destroyer, as a powerful support destroyer for our commercial guild, why didn't it appear in the planning of the new generation navy?" Shu Mai asked directly without any politeness.
Count Dooku smiled and said: "Ah, this is a normal situation. Because judging from actual combat performance, the Defiant class cannot compete with the Jaeger-class battlecruisers of the Galactic Republic, and our intelligence personnel also learned that the Galactic Republic is preparing Design and build a new generation of warships, so we must also plan ahead."
"This is impossible! The Disobedient must be produced! This is one of the prerequisites for us to join the Federation of Independent Systems!" Shu-Mai said firmly! .
“Oh, dear Mrs. Shu-Mai, times are constantly moving forward, and the commercial guilds cannot stand still. If you can design a new generation of warships, we are naturally very willing to order and produce them. " Count Dooku said, "You see, including the Interstellar Banking Association's Generous-class frigates and the Trade Federation's Rookery-class battleships, as well as the Fourth Group's Higra-class battlecruisers, are also from ours. The shipbuilding plan was cancelled."
Shu-Mai gritted his teeth and growled: "That's because they got the Behemoth-class and Infinity-class!"
Count Dooku was pretending. Suddenly, "Oh, so since they have set an example, I believe that the commercial guilds will naturally take action, right?"
Shu Mai suddenly raised his voice and said sharply: "You know this is impossible!! The Commercial Guild is a trading group, and our focus is not on battleship design! But we still provide a lot of funds and resources! Besides, there is no way to say that the war needs to be updated after just one year!”
