Chapter 1597 The Last Fight
1597, The Last Fight
I only saw that this uninhabited galaxy has been occupied by a large number of spaceships from the Quat Power Shipyard. And more than a dozen large space stations have been built close to the star, where the workers and engineers involved in the construction live and have fun.
And with this huge number of workers and spaceships, they are building an extremely huge facility!
This facility currently has no apparent function. It is basically in the shape of a dish, with a diameter of over 20,000 meters! It’s completely a super Big Mac!
All projects are carried out in recent orbits. In order to prevent strong stellar radiation from interfering with the construction of the project, more than ten umbrella-shaped spacecraft are deployed near the construction site. These umbrella-shaped spacecraft will support a deflector shield with a very wide coverage. The shield will protect these spacecraft and construction personnel from harm.
Just to maintain the operation of these shield spacecraft, the shield capacitors need to be constantly replaced. The cost of this part alone is already an astronomical figure!
That's not all. There are still several energy extraction devices being built closer to the star, which rely entirely on robots for construction. The energy level of these energy extraction devices is very high. This is definitely not a project to meet the energy supply of this construction area or other planets, but a project with a larger and more concentrated energy consumption!
Looking at the engineering ships that are constantly busy, these ships and the workers, technicians, scientists, and various personnel needed to maintain life, there are more than 5 million people involved in this project. Come among engineering projects. The wages of these people alone are also a huge cost, because in order to maintain confidentiality, all participants are not allowed to leave until the project is completed. There is only one way to make them work with peace of mind—spend money.
With this almost endless supply of funds and materials, such a huge project was completed in this unmanned galaxy in just two or three months! It can be said that in this galaxy, only Kuat Power Shipyard has such terrifying industrial strength!
On the bridge of a Knight-class Star Destroyer stationed on the planet, Lila Blissex was facing the holographic projection of a gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman - who was the current Kuat of the Kuat Power Shipyard. Special, Onana-Quat (this weird title sounds super weird when you read it).
“Ninth Army Governor Dunne Wessex has convinced Chancellor Palpatine for us, and now the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic has officially approved our application for this attack on Model. The combat plan for the sector is hosted by our Quat Power Dockyard. Officers and army and naval combat personnel at all levels have been assembled on Coruscant and will be in place in four days," Lila Blissex said.
“What are the conditions?” Onana Quart asked directly.
She regards this military operation to attack the Model Sector as her last trump card. This is not without reason. Not only because of the political pressure brought to her by Gideon Danu, but also because of the pressure put on her by the Principality of Dawn.
Onana Quart is not a fool. She actually knows that Gideon Danu actually has no ambition to replace her, but the problem is that as Gideon Danu The more she did on behalf of Quart in the Galactic Council, the more favorable comments she received. Under these two circumstances, she herself became a negative teaching material.
If things continue like this, even if Gideon Danu doesn't mean it himself, those who support him will push him up.
On the other hand, there is the Dawn Planet.
On the front line with the Dawn Planet, the fleet of the Galactic Republic was defeated again and again, and many times it was due to the huge difference in the performance of the battleships. Not to mention anything else, there are two models of Titan battleships on the Dawn Planet alone, but there are none on the Galactic Republic side.
After finally building an Eclipse class, the prototype ship was bombed... Onana Kuat herself knew that it was actually a good thing that the Eclipse class prototype ship was bombed. So on the surface she scolded Lila Blissex and gave her a blow, but in reality she couldn't really blame her too much.
This has nothing to do with her judgment of Lila's ability, but because although Palpatine and the laymen on the Council are very fascinated and convinced of this plan, she also knows that she wants to destroy the Eclipse class within a year. It's impossible to do it! No matter how powerful the genius is, it won’t work!
So after this series of failures, there are now some voices in the parliament questioning the warship design and manufacturing capabilities of Kuat Power Dockyard.
If the technological power gap with Dawn Planet cannot be reversed, as the Republic continues to fail on the front line, there will be more and more such voices. When these influences broke out in full force, even she herself didn't know whether she could withstand the pressure of the Republic.
Even if it is the best ending, it may be relegated to the cold palace like Lundili Interstellar Power Company.
With the strength of the Galactic Republic, it is not difficult to build another Quat Power Shipyard. At least the fast-rising Sina Fleet Systems Company is a potential possibility.
Not to mention the Corellian Engineering Company, which can be said to be the oldest industrial giant in the history of the Republic, it can be said that it takes a matter of minutes to replace the Kuat Power Dockyard.
They are just making a fortune in the field of civilian spaceships and small and medium-sized warships in a low-key manner, and they do not want to confront the popular people of the current government like Kuat Dynamic Shipyard.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s not that I can’t.
So for various reasons, Onana Quart had to make a last ditch effort [Note 1]!
Defeat the Principality of Dawn! Get their advanced battleship technology! Only then can we maintain the status of Kuat Power Shipyard!
So after Onana Quart learned through various channels that the Supreme Strategic Command had drawn up a plan to raid the Model sector, she decided to seize this opportunity.
But looking for relationships in many ways, the results are not ideal. Even if she went to the Minister of Population of the Republic, this act of directly intervening in military affairs was still not accepted.
In this case, even if she felt 10,000 unhappy, Onana Quart had to find Lila Blissex and negotiate terms with her.
-
[Note 1]: In fact, in the original plot, although the situation of Kuat Power Shipyard was not so bad, Onana Kuat still failed to bear the pressure from the Republic. Yes, she stepped down sadly at the end of the Clone Wars. If her nephew Little Kuart hadn't been ruthless enough, Kuart Power Shipyard would have been taken over by the Galactic Empire at this time.
