Chapter 1730: Dawn Agreement (Part 2)
1730, Dawn Agreement (Part 2)
Since Palpatine wants to overturn the table, he must have enough reasons.
Although most of what politicians say is empty talk, for things like proclaiming emperor, you still have to come up with something convincing enough to prove that your own ideas are correct.
Otherwise, who would believe you, Palpatine, after being defeated again and again on the battlefield, and then turning around and saying that you are the only way out for the Galactic Republic?
If it is in the original plot, Palpatine still controls Count Dooku. He induces Anakin Skywalker to kill Dooku, and then kills the five major corporations including Thorn Hill and Newt Gunray. The leader of the giant ended the war within a few days, which was naturally a great achievement.
But what now? Count Dooku had already seen through Tang Xiao's conspiracy under Tang Xiao's influence, and he simply went solo. Among the five major corporate giants, San Hill and Newt Gunlay have also become Tang Xiao's allies. The corporate alliance is trembling, the business alliance is directly divided up, and the grass on Shu Mai's grave is two meters high.
The last Technology Alliance is secretly collaborating with the Galactic Republic, but under the current circumstances, how can it still attack the Technology Alliance? It’s too late to win over.
The Galactic Republic has achieved a lot of results against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In previous counterattacks, they cleared a large part of the Northeast, and on the battlefield in the East, they also defeated the Independent Systems in the first two years of the war. The Central Sector captured by the Confederacy has all been liberated, and is now besieging the key planet leading to the core of Confederacy's rule - the planet Salukami.
But there has been no progress at all in the direction of the war zone in the Principality of Dawn. So if you look at it from this perspective, you will find that the end of the war is far away.
So, what leverage does Palpatine plan to use to reorganize the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire?
This bargaining chip is now handed to him by Tang Xiao - the surrender of the Dawn Principality!
If that were the case, that would be great!
First of all, there are explanations for the disastrous defeats in the Model Sector Raid and the Yago-Dur System Battle. You see, Planet Dawn really surrendered. I was right when I said that Casio Targ and Gideon Tarkin beat Tang Xiao until he cried for his father and mother, right? Don't you believe it yet?
So Palpatine's biggest problem now instantly became his biggest political achievement, and through this, he was able to accomplish too many things. For example, what he wants to do most right now is to turn over the table.
Okay, so now the bargaining chip Tang Xiao has given is big enough, what's the price?
Palpatine looked gloomy. After being silent for a long time, he slowly asked: "What do you want?"
"I want a lot of things, Palpatine. Just It's up to you whether you want to give it or not." Tang Xiao also spoke at a fast pace.
"Say." Palpatine's expression softened relatively. It wasn't because he had figured something out, but because he had begun to calm down and think about the problem from the perspective of interests.
Indeed, he and Tang Xiao have been fighting to the death for a long time, so the only thing that can make them sit down and make peace is the interests.
Tang Xiao smiled slightly and said: "First of all, this war is almost over for us, so I suggest that we sign a ten-year peace agreement."
"This is naturally possible. "Palpatine agreed immediately. In his opinion, with the size of the Galactic Republic, not to mention ten, twenty years of peace is enough. The longer the time drags on, the greater the gap between the two sides. It just depends on whether he wants to wait so long.
After all, if Palpatine had a choice, he would want Tang Xiao to die immediately, and it would be best not to delay for a second.
However, he also knew that this was impossible.
Not to mention that both sides are now the leaders of a huge force that dominates one side. Their personal strength is also about the same. Now both of them have begun to try to avoid fighting alone, so during the raid in the Model sector, he sent Jan Droga, who had a soul connection with him, to deal with Tang Xiao.
Of course, what Tang Xiao doesn't know yet is that people like Zhan Droga are still very desirable and cannot be found casually.
Palpatine is also a very tolerant person. For ten years, he felt that he could wait.
He also believes that in ten years, his Galactic Empire will be able to survive the initial chaotic stage and will have more time to integrate its forces. By that time, not to mention hundreds of capital ships, he will directly send out a super fleet of thousands of battleships to plow the Dawn Planet to the ground in one fell swoop!
"Then you won't have only one condition, right?" Palpatine sneered.
Tang Xiao continued: "Then, let go of the blockade on the Lundili Galaxy, the Cato-Neimoidia Galaxy, and the Balmorra-Neimoidia Galaxy."
"Of course not. Question, my fleet will retreat from these galaxies." Palpatine also laughed. Now that the two sides have completely entered the bargaining mode, there is no need to brag and glare.
When it comes to money, be direct.
"I think you seem to have misunderstood..." Tang Xiao shook his head, "I mean, including the blockade of Lundili's trade route, it has also been opened."
Palpatine's expression became extremely cold again. Tang Xiao's condition could be said to reveal his thoughts clearly!
Unblock the Lundilli trade routes!
Palpatine knows very well what this condition means!
The Rendili Trade Route is an exclusive route opened by the Rendili Interstellar Power Company. It is used to import a large amount of raw materials from other areas of the galaxy, and then transform these raw materials in a large number of interstellar shipyards. For powerful battleships!
The Lundili trade route is the main artery of Lundili Interstellar Power Company!
Because of this, after Rendili Star Dynamics betrayed and joined the Confederation of Independent Systems, Palpatine immediately ordered the blockade of this hyperspace channel. He asked the Republic fleet to set up checkpoints along the way, build hyperspace blockers, and completely blockade the entire trade route.
In this way, the huge industrial volume of Lundili Interstellar Power Company, one of the three major industrial giants in the galaxy, will not be used by the Principality of Dawn.
But if Lundili trade routes are opened up, it will be equivalent to Tang Xiao directly owning the entire production capacity of Lundili Interstellar Power Company!
Although Rendili Star Power Company has been surpassed by Quat Power Shipyard in the subsequent competition, and it is difficult to compare with Corellian Engineering Company, which has long dominated the field of civilian ships, after all He is also a super industrial giant with a foundation of more than 25,000 years.
If such power is obtained by Tang Xiao, then there is no doubt that the power of the Dawn Principality will be greatly improved!
