1969. Chisling’s Choice
The chief minister of the cabinet, Helmut Zemo, walked into Tang Xiao’s office, handed over a document very respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, the Second Exploration Fleet, There is already a reply from Brent."
"Ah, it seems that they have already taken care of the Chiss," a somewhat mocking smile appeared on Tang Xiao's lips, "If my guess is correct. , the Chiss are already in chaos."
"It's true that we can defeat the Chiss faster than we thought..." Helmut Zemo also had a sarcastic smile on his face. , "Those self-proclaimed Chiss people couldn't wait to confess Brent that night, and then various internal fighting methods among themselves emerged one after another, which was simply ugly."
"It's expected. The Chiss are an oligarchy with family as the core, and they have no natural enemies, so they naturally focus on internal fighting." Tang Xiao leaned on the backrest and sneered: "Severan Si-Tan and Mis-Ro-Nurudo, these two are top-notch super geniuses even within the scope of the Milky Way. People like this will suffer due to the struggles among their major families. Being expelled, you can imagine what it is like inside Qisi Territory.”
He looked at the portable terminal in his hand and had no interest in checking the recorded content in detail. He threw it on the table and said, "You can report directly what agreements we have signed with Qisling."
< br>Helmut Zemo walked to Tang Xiao's side, bowed and said at the right speed: "The first is the construction of the Star Gate. We provide Qisling with goods worth 2.5 billion No. 4 currency, including technical blueprints. The price is 1.27 billion, and the remaining 1.23 billion are rare metals. Chisling will provide us with a construction team of 5,000 people and supporting engineering spacecraft. They will provide all non-core materials for the construction of the star gate. "Seven standard months."
"So slow?" Tang Xiao frowned, "We only spent two standard months on the planet Levik?"
" That's because Lieutenant General He Ru occupied the industrial core of the Xilu Empire, which was equivalent to the entire Xilu Empire's efforts to build it. At the same time, the Piaik people also sent more than 200,000 workers to assist in the advancement of the project," Zemo said, "In comparison, although the Chiss construction engineering team is much more advanced, the scale is still too small. The reason they gave is that they themselves are also facing a serious labor shortage problem."
Tang Xiao smiled coldly, "The Chisi people still have reservations. They are still afraid that we will usurp the guest. That's all. They just need to feel at ease and become our agents in the unknown star field. Don't worry about anything else. After the star gate is repaired, Beat it if necessary.”
Zemo smiled and nodded, "I will start making arrangements immediately. In addition, the technology blueprint chosen by the Chiss mainly includes ecological simulation farms, second-generation synthetic humans, and bionic chips. Among the Caldari Republic warships we provided , they chose the Kitty Hawk-class frigate (Merlin-class), the Heron-class electronic warfare frigate (Heron-class), and the Petrel-class destroyer (Cormorant-class)."
Tang Xiao said: "Theirs. The choice is very smart. These technologies are not particularly sophisticated, but they can just make up for their current shortcomings."
Zemo smiled and said, "Indeed, the Chiss people are still very talented in all aspects. Professional, Lieutenant General Brent also mentioned in his report that their representatives struggled for a long time on the Phoenix-class battleships we deliberately put on, and their eyes almost fell down, but in the end they still chose which ones with tears in their eyes. Small battleship. "
(The Phoenix class with a long axis of 3826 meters is a battleship class according to the classification of the fourth civilization, not the dreadnought class in "EVE".)
" If my judgment is correct, the value of these technologies is far more than 1.27 billion No. 4 currency." Tang Xiao's voice turned cold.
Zemo quickly said: "Lieutenant General Brent also mentioned that the technical blueprint of the Petrel-class destroyer was privately provided to the Cipla family as a political donation. And this generous gift also made Cipla The family is very fond of us... Of course, this gift is semi-public - although it is hidden, every other family knows it."
Tang Xiao's cold expression softened, "Smart. Choice. He did not choose the Chav family who wanted to come from behind, but the Cipra family with a stable position. It seemed that Brent was very qualified to be the commander and representative of the mission. Only the Chav family. It can be used as a knife, but it is not suitable for being a dog. Of course, the Cipra family is not suitable for being a dog. They can only be used as a transition..."
Zemo showed a hint of cunning. With a gloomy smile, "The real choice to be a dog is currently determined to be the Saberson family. This needs to be taken slowly and in the long term. Lieutenant General Brent has already started making arrangements based on your great strategy."
He was not surprised that although Tang Xiao didn’t read much information about the Chiss Territory, he was very aware of the phenomenon of several major families of the Chiss people. In his opinion, this was due to Tang Xiao’s ability to see through everything. . Because since he woke up from the mothership 20 years ago, Tang Xiao has demonstrated his power to know the future countless times.
Zemo continued: "In addition to technical exchanges, Chisling has also signed a series of intentional trade and economic cooperation agreements with us. These agreements will take effect after the Stargate is completed. They The main demand is for agricultural products and electronic automation products. On the one hand, the Chiss' robotic technology is not developed. On the other hand, due to the instability of the hyperspace channel, large-scale exploration and expansion are not possible, which makes the Chiss territorial. Planets suitable for the development of agriculture are very precious and rare, so their demand for agricultural technology is also very high.”
"None of this matters, just let Brent figure it out." Tang Xiao waved his hand.
"Then, the Joint Operations Command was established. The commander-in-chief of this command is the Chiss Admiral Chiara. She is a member of the Eliz family, so we also followed the plan , deliberately alienating the Eliz family," Zemo said, "After the star gate is completed, we will investigate and purify the Mongar-Mongar infested planets provided by the Chiss one by one. I believe we can get closer step by step. Menggar - the core of Menggar. The Nurudo family, which is in charge of the military, is very interested in this planet."
Tang Xiao said slowly: "The Qisi people's military strategy is based on defense. . They stipulate that their fleet must not be the first to attack, and have formulated a series of laws for this purpose. This is why the basic strategy of generals from Chiss Military Academy is to strike first, including Severance Tann. . But there is only one exception to this defensive strategy - Mongar Mongar."
Zemo nodded, "That's true only when facing Mongar Mongar. The fleet can be in an offensive posture. As a family in charge of the military, all their merits and strength should be based on offense... But that series of defensive regulations has become a chain around their necks... They We are eager to use the chisel of Mongar-Mongar to cut through this chain, and the joint combat command established with us is the hammer to hammer this chisel."
"Satisfy them." Tang Xiao closed his eyes, waved his hand to indicate that it was enough, and signaled Zemo to leave.
Zemo bowed and walked away backwards.
During the whole reporting process, he did not open the information, but kept it all in his mind like a treasure trove. And in the process, his report was not just based on the script, but also added a lot of his own understanding. This made Tang Xiao very comfortable.
Perhaps in the eyes of many other people, Helmut Zemo is a sycophant, but to Tang Xiao, he is an existence that makes him feel very comfortable and convenient. In this seemingly peaceful process, the future of Qisi Territory has gradually begun to be bound by the Principality of Dawn.
For the Principality of Dawn, this is an expansion and an invasion, but for the Qisi Territory, they have no choice. The existence of the Star Gate is not just a convenient travel tool, it is a technology that can change the future of countless races and civilizations!
The Galactic Republic without stargate technology can only sigh helplessly as it looks at the unknown star field. Even if they can organize a large-scale exploration operation, it will be of no avail - because they have no ability to bring anything back from here, and they have no ability to maintain their power here.
But the Principality of Dawn, which owns the Star Gate, is able to bring the unknown star field into its sphere of influence step by step. This is the power of Star Gate!
The races and civilizations in the unknown star field, even the most powerful Chiss, their sphere of influence is limited by hyperspace turbulence, and the range they can radiate is not the same as those who can freely use hyperspace channels. The outside world cannot compare at all. As long as the traffic problem can be solved, outside forces can easily make several rounds here.
And from the moment the Star Gate began to be built, the Unknown Star Territory was already destined to be in the possession of the Principality of Dawn!
……
Within the territory of the Principality of Dawn, on the edge of the Sethwenna sector, the planet Terminus.
A Hutt was arranging his clothes under the service of more than a dozen female slaves. The gorgeous and expensive clothes covered his pale and smooth skin, showing him a different look. The softness and morbidity of other Hutts.
Yes, as a race born from the swamp, the Hutt's skin is rough and wrinkled, and it is mainly dark green, brown and other colors similar to the swamp.
However, this Hutt, although he is still as pot-bellied, bloated and clumsy as other Hutts, his skin is white and has no wrinkles. By Hutt standards, this look was disgusting.
However, disgusting as it is, even among the powerful Hutts, there are almost no people who dare to laugh at his appearance.
Because this white Hutt is the leader of the Gorensla family, the third most powerful family among the countless Hutt families, Ourba! !
Among the Hutts, the undisputed largest and second largest families are the Desiligic family and the Besadi family. Although the Gorensla family is also a family with a very long history, it is only in recent years that they have truly become a force that can influence the situation in the Hutt space.
The struggle between the largest family of the Hutts, the Desiligic family and the second largest family, the Besadi family, has been going on for nearly 20 years.
Of course, the Hutts are a race that relies on smuggling and crime, and most of the struggles between these criminal families are at the business level. In addition to the large-scale armed conflict that broke out on the planet Tatooine between Jabba the Hutt of the Desiligic family and Gadula the Hutt of the Bethadi family, in the past 20 years, Desili has Although conflicts between the Ligic family and the Besadi family continued, they did not rise to the level of war.
Most of their struggles involve fighting for territory, destroying business, plundering smuggling channels, etc. Although it is equally brutal and bloody, the scale is still limited.
However, starting from the large-scale conflict on Tatooine, the fuse of the family conflict that was ignited finally burned the core interests of the two families. The two families originally had very sharp conflicts, and they became even more irreconcilable after the conflict between Jabba and Gadula.
Coupled with the outbreak of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems, in order to win the support of the Hutts and allow their fleets to navigate the Hutt space, also put their power deep into the Hutt space. Find their respective agents in the special space.
However, in the beginning, Kiliak, the leader of the Desiligic family, and Aruba, the leader of the Besadi family, actually limited the penetration of external forces very well. Even the Scourge Legion, the nail that the Fourth Civilization had penetrated into the Hutt space very early, was also excluded.
But at this time, the enemy still appeared inside.
On the side of the Desiligic family, Jabba's uncle, Ziro the Hutt, received the support of Zorba, the supreme leader of the Desiligic family and the father of Jabba and others, and After Zorba was assassinated, he took over as the leader of the Desiligic family, which caused the Desiligic family to fall into division.
At the same time, Ziro seemed to be going crazy, using the power of the Desiligic family she controlled to launch a crazy attack on the Besadi family!
On the other side, although the Besadi family has become more and more powerful under the management of Aruk, the Hutt Gadula also has a strong influence. Facing the crazy attack of Ziro of the Desiligic family, Gadula was also out of control and responded in a very extreme and violent way.
Under the influence of these two people, the dispute between the Desiligic family and the Besadi family began to gradually get out of control.
At this time, Oruba, the leader of the Gorensla family, took the opportunity to rise. Based on the planet Terminus, he began to expand his power crazily. (End of this chapter)
