Chapter 2135 The Trade Alliance’s Abacus
2136. The Trade Alliance’s Abacus
However, hearing this time, Ling Liang just shook his head and said coldly: "My hope is that you can support To eight months. That is to say, at least until next year, and this is only our request for the relatively peripheral planets such as Deco-Neimoidia and Kru-Neimoidia..."
Her eyes were extremely sharp, she looked at Newt Gunray, and then said slowly: "For the planet Balmorra, Cato Neimoidia and your home planet Neimoidia, My hope is, at least two years."
"This is impossible!" Newt Gunray suddenly raised his head and said, "We simply don't have the power to last for so long! The planet Neimoidia has a large incubation pool for our species. The planet has a large population. If the war lasts for a long time, the casualties will be extremely heavy!"
Seeing his appearance, Ling Liang just sneered.
As expected, even though Newt Gunray is making a lot of noise here, in fact he is making trouble for everyone to see. Especially making trouble for the Principality of Liming and Grand Duke Tang Xiao.
Xian Hui, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, saw this matter very accurately just now. Is this really hotter than old?
Newt Gunray said this, but he was actually making his own calculations. He probably wants to make the Trade Federation surrender, so that sacrifices can be avoided to the greatest extent.
That’s why he knew that it was impossible for the Principality of Dawn to send troops to affect the Trade Alliance far away in the core circle of the galaxy, but he still came here to make a fuss, crying for help.
He just hopes that after being rejected here in the Principality of Dawn, he will then have an excuse, so he can say that it is your Principality of Dawn who refused to send troops, don't blame me, and then surrender. In this way, the Principality of Dawn can't say anything wrong?
And anyway, the Trade Alliance has actually been split into two, and a lot of industry and wealth has been transferred to the northern border, so no matter what, there is no problem in maintaining at least a lower limit.
Now that there is a way out, what he is thinking about is how to avoid sacrifice. If we can negotiate terms with the Galactic Empire on the premise of surrender, even if it involves massive bleeding, at least we can still keep something more or less.
"So what is your plan? Newt Gunray." Ling Liang already had the answer, but she still asked in a pretentious manner.
“We in the Trade Federation have devoted everything we have to your Principality of Dawn. You can’t just ask us to persist for two years without doing anything! In this way, our planet will flow into a river of blood!” Newt Gunray shouted, "If Dawn turns a blind eye to our invasion, then we will have to figure it out ourselves."
"For example?" Ling Liang asked with a sneer.
"We will reach a certain degree of compromise with the Galactic Empire in order to preserve our planet." Newt Gunray said this. He glanced at Tang Xiao secretly again, hoping that Tang Xiao would not He immediately became furious.
As expected, Tang Xiao changed his sitting position, staring at him with terrifying eyes, which made him feel frightened and his whole body trembled. Newt Gunray quickly explained: "My lord, please rest assured that my loyalty to the Principality of Dawn will never change! Even if we lose those industries in the core circle, we will still support the Principality of Dawn wholeheartedly!" This is Their trade alliance's plan - after a wave of resistance, surrender directly, and then split into two. Some surrendered to the Galaxy Empire and continued to retain their status, while the other part was divided and stayed in the Principality of Dawn, continuing to enjoy the benefits given by the Principality of Dawn.
Then they can hedge their bets.
As for why they resisted from the Galactic Empire, the main reason was to let the Galactic Empire see their power, so that they could bargain with them.
In fact, the Trade Federation does have the ability to make the Galactic Empire uncomfortable. They still control a large amount of navigation data in the outer ring star areas, and still have countless human resources within the empire. At the same time, they also have very strong defenses on their core planets.
On the planets of Balmorra and Cato Neimoidia, an Infinity-class super aircraft carrier is deployed each, although it is a castrated version without a Forerunner engine.
As for why it was not deployed on the home planet of Neimoidia, it is because in fact, the race and culture of the Neimoidians are not particularly affectionate towards the mother planet. The reproductive method of the Neimoidians is similar to a beehive. When they were young, they also grew up in centralized beehives, where it was an environment where the weak and the strong preyed on each other. Therefore, Neimoidians who grow up will never have any good memories of their childhood lives.
For the Neimoidians, the planet Neimoidia is just a place to raise offspring (I won’t go into details, in short, the way this race breeds and survives is quite disgusting) .
But Ling Liang said coldly: "This is our proposal for the Trade Alliance. You must persist long enough and deal a big enough blow to the Galactic Empire. And we will try our best to help you. And the borders of the planet Rendili will also be opened so that refugees from the Trade Federation can go to the planet Rendili for resettlement.”
In fact, even this involves taking a lot of risks. Although the planet Rendili has stars. The gate exists, but after all, it is also a planet in the core circle, and now it is also surrounded by the Galactic Empire. What prevents the Galactic Empire from attacking the planet Rendili is the huge fleet surrounding the planet, dominated by Victory II-class Star Destroyers and numbering more than 1,500 capital ships.
But if the planet Rendili opens its borders, it will be difficult to stop the Galactic Empire from infiltrating the planet. This may cause the secrets of the Stargate to be leaked, and it may also give Imperial agents some opportunities to destroy the stable environment on the planet.
However, this alone could not move Newt Gunray at all. He said loudly: "Of course we will do our best to resist, but the Galactic Empire has used at least two thousand capital ships for this offensive. Strength! You can't ask us to persist for two years with such strength! The only result of this is that our planet will be plowed to the ground!"
He looked at Tang Xiao again and begged: "Your Majesty the Grand Duke! You will not sit back and watch this result, right? Only if we preserve our strength can we continue to serve the Principality of Dawn during the future counterattack, Your Majesty the Grand Duke!"
Newt Gunray is still here pretending to be crazy, crying and making trouble, almost hanging himself.
However, Tang Xiao also said coldly: "That's what I mean."
Ling Liang snorted coldly and said, "Then, how about we make a bet?"
