1598. Insatiable
“Conditions?” Lila Blissex raised her eyelids, feeling just funny in her heart.
You must know that not long ago, Onana Kuart specially called her to the central hall of Kuart and showed her a severe show of power. But now, in turn, she wants to Come and beg her.
"What conditions do I dare to offer? Just do your best for Kuat Power Shipyard." Lila said sarcastically.
“We are in the same boat now!” Onana Quat slammed her hands on the table and leaned towards the screen, “Don’t forget, you are also the one fighting on the front line now. The designed battleship! Once the Quat Dynamic Shipyard is discredited, can you stand alone? Now that the Executor-class Star Destroyer plan you proposed has hundreds of billions of design and construction costs, can anyone in the galaxy give it to you? ?”
"So I don't have any conditions." Lila Blissex said calmly: "If this battle succeeds, it will be good for both of us, right? My fiancé Dunn Wessex has already agreed with me. If you agree, then there is no need to come to me. I will complete the hyperspace stabilizer on time."
She is emphasizing the word fiancé, which is actually emphasizing her own different status. .
"Very good, I will talk to Governor Dunn carefully." Onana Quart's face was a little gloomy, but she still nodded and said a few polite words before closing the communication.
After the communication was closed, she immediately cursed, "Lila, you bitch! Bastard!"
Conditions? In fact, the more Lila said she had no conditions at this time, the more she acted like a hooligan. The price has actually been paid, and this is the hyperspace stabilizer.
Despite Lila Blissex's nice words, she will finish the work on time and so on... But in fact, this is the latest achievement of the Hyperspace Research Department of Quat Power Dockyard, and it has nothing to do with Lila at all! She just came here to supervise a job and take a job, and then quietly took the credit for the hyperspace stabilizer.
For this battle with an uncertain future, the invention and construction of a hyperspace stabilizer is itself a guarantee to maintain the lower limit. Even if the battle fails, with this credit in hand, at least he will not be blamed too much.
So the acquiescence to leave this project to Lila was actually the condition given by Onana Quart.
But even so, Lila still insisted that there were no conditions. Is this considered hooliganism? This has two meanings. First, the conditions you gave are not enough. Second, you can’t give me the conditions I want.
The more polite Lila spoke, the more disgusted Onana Quart felt. To put it bluntly, entrusting a project as big as the hyperspace stabilizer to Lila Blissex only resulted in an opportunity to negotiate with Dunn Wessex!
On other occasions, the funds involved in this project would have been at least 50 billion credit points! Now, the authorship of this project has been handed over to Lila. For Lila, money is secondary, and it is impossible for all the proceeds from this project to be given to her. But the reputation it brings is a great benefit. At this time, Onana Quat could only go to Dunn Wessex and negotiate terms with the sector governor who was deeply trusted by Chancellor Palpatine, in order to obtain the military's permission to let him They participated in this Battle of the Model Sector.
But to her expectation, Dunn Wessex was actually very easy to talk to. He easily agreed to Onana Quart’s request, and the conditions were not many.
The first is an investment in the planet Palin-Minor. To put it bluntly, it is a bribe of money. Regarding this, Onana Quart and Dunn did not even discuss the amount. They both knew the approximate number that was most appropriate. It usually costs several hundred million credit points. For Onana, money is not a problem.
The second is to give the Ninth Army a separate battleship order. This thing is actually quite normal. Almost all regional governors will order some warships separately to expand their own strength. After all, they hold the tax revenue of an entire legion, so it is very easy to purchase some warships. This is equivalent to a private soldier.
By the way, not only the regional governor, but also many powerful planets will order some warships individually. It's just that the strength of a single planet is limited, and what is generally purchased are second-hand warships or small and medium-sized warships. These battleships are the origin of the local defense fleet.
So the Republic Speaker, Sheev Palpatine, nationalized the local defense fleet before. In fact, it was not as simple as integrating the army, but directly taking away the warships that the planets bought with their own money! This is no different from open grabbing.
The third condition is a little more subtle. Dunne-Wessex said that due to political issues, he could not openly take on the battle. He asked Onana-Quat not to involve him and the Ninth Army in the process of conducting this battle. Of course, if the battle is a success, the Ninth Army will not jump out to grab the credit.
On the surface, this condition seemed to be put forward by Dunn Wessex to protect himself. Just like if you are looking for a connection to do something now, then the connection you are looking for naturally hopes that you can handle the matter quietly, preferably without anyone else knowing about it.
Although Onana Quart also feels a little strange, she doesn't have many choices now. So, she agreed.
Dunn Wessex was not polite. He told Onana Quart that the authorization from the Supreme Strategic Command would be issued tomorrow. And he will also arrange for some retired elderly officers and some top students from the military academy to go to the planet Kuat in their own name to provide support for this campaign.
While Onana Quart was full of joy that she had achieved her goal, she did not see the sneer on the corner of Dunn Wessex's mouth.
Yes, if you think about it carefully, you will find that this third condition is the most dangerous one!
On the surface, this condition is that Dunn-Wessex picked himself out, but in fact, through Lila-Blissex, he can also enjoy the fruits of victory in the battle. And Onana Quart had to shoulder the responsibility for this battle. If something went wrong, she would be the one to bear the wrath of the Galactic Republic!
And by then, Lila Blissex might even go one step further! Although she does not have the reputation to become a Kuat of Kuat, it is entirely possible to become a pivotal presence in the Kuat Power Dockyard! By that time, she would even have the confidence to influence the decision-making of Kuat Power Shipyard!
That's right! Of this pair of men and women, one said there were no strings attached, and the other said just give them some money, but in fact their strings were greedier than anyone else's!
What they want is Kuat Power Dockyard!
