Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 256: Transformation Period

Chapter 256: Transformation Period

The Eriaduu Business Summit is definitely a very big opportunity for the Fourth Civilization. This opportunity does not mean how important this summit is, but the failure of this summit is very important to them.

A brief overview of what happened after the summit was attacked by terrorists, basically this is the situation:

First of all, because of the failure of the Business Summit, the Senate of the Galactic Republic took the lead in turning the table. Anyway, whether you talk about it or not, I have decided to collect the tax from the outer ring star region.

But the Judicial Fleet of the Republic kept silent, saying that you are free to do so, and it is none of my business what the Republic does.

At this time, the Kuat Drive Yards stood up and said, it's okay, I have built the battleship for you, and you can buy the Republic with money.

Then the major corporate giants followed suit, you have to collect taxes, right? We directly tore up the Russan Treaty and opened up the construction of large warships. If you have the ability, you can come and collect them.

Then the representatives of the outer ring star region said that the Republic is too cruel, we can't afford to provoke, we can afford to hide, goodbye.

The result of this is an arms race. Everyone can see that under the premise that all major entities have begun to treat the Russan Treaty as waste paper, the danger level of the Milky Way is rising linearly.

If we said that in the past, most of us were small spaceships flying around, and at most some tens of meters long spaceships, then now, it is very likely that there will be a few cruisers of 400 or 500 meters riding on your face at any time!

It's like when the Fourth Civilization was attacked by three bounty hunter spaceships just after it came over. At that time, there were only some small spaceships tens of meters in size. Even if the Mothership was opened for them to attack, what could they do? But if three Cruisers came, then the Fourth Civilization would probably have to surrender directly.

So those planets began to pay attention to their own safety issues, especially the planets in the outer ring star region. Because in the outer ring of the Galaxy, to put it bluntly, the Republic basically doesn't care about you. There are local defense fleets, but they are basically useless. Don't bother me with small things.

Those planets in the outer ring belong to the Republic in name but in fact, they are mainly in line with the Republic in terms of economy and people's livelihood, mainly in import and export trade. Therefore, the link between the Republic and the outer ring star region is not the Republic's Judicial Fleet, nor the Republic's administrative system, but those corporate giants.

To put it bluntly, this is how the Trade Federation started.

Under such circumstances, the Fourth Group actually launched a Light Cruiser first, the Revelation-class! You can say that this kind of Cruiser is strong, but it is far from being controlled by the Republic itself. You can say that it is weak, but it is still stronger than any spaceship that can be bought on the black market now.

Coupled with the fact that the Fourth Group was named and criticized by Palpatine at the summit, and showed its face severely, everyone now knows about this new company that uses the video of the Republic's fleet being hoisted to advertise.

Therefore, whether it is the main Assault-class Light Destroyer, Wraith Fighter and Cobalt-class Light Frigate, or the just-launched Revelation-class Light Cruiser that only accepts reservations, they are all very popular in the black market. Received orders totaling over 100 million credits in just one month!

On this basis, Tang Xiao was not eager for quick success, on the contrary, he was very calm.

On the bridge of the Glory Mothership in the Endor Galaxy, Tang Xiao, Minister of Administration Daphne Clement, Chief Engineer of the Scientific Research Department Chi Jianjun, Chief of Staff Qi Jian, Deputy Chief of the Supreme Command Karls Wharton, Chief of the Navy Commander Igor Zavalov and Army Commander-in-Chief Xiao Guanghua are holding a military meeting at the highest level.

"Now you have all seen the changes that have taken place in the Milky Way. It has been 2 years since we came to this universe. During this time, the danger factor of this galaxy has been rising in a straight line. This Eriadu Business Summit It's just to detonate all the conflicts, I can only tell you that this kind of thing will happen many times in the future." Tang Xiao said slowly.

"We are not as defenseless as before. Now we are one of the few forces in the Galaxy that can design and manufacture large-scale warships by ourselves!" Qi Jian was very excited, and the recent skyrocketing sales made him extremely excited.

"But our keyword is still size. You can see this clearly Supreme Commander. I an old man, don't have much to say." Professor Chi Jianjun said.

Tang Xiao nodded at Chi Jianjun, and then said to Qi Jian: "Qi Jian, you must understand that the reason why we are doing well now is not because we are good or strong, but because we snuck away. Being prepared for danger in times of peace is our most basic idea, not to mention that our environment is far from being safe. I can tell you that in one year at most, you will see earth-shaking changes in this Galaxy. At that time, we will It's a real challenge."

"One year? That is to say, the matter of the Eriadu Business Summit may become more serious within a year?" Zavarov asked with a frown.

"That's right, so we must have a clear plan." Tang Xiao stood up and said, "If in the past, our goal was to ensure our own safety, then from today, our goal has really changed to, there's going to be an all-out war!"

Everyone became solemn.

"The residents who are currently hibernating are expected to wake up in half a year at most, except for special talents above the master level. And after 2 years, the first population of frozen embryos will also enter adulthood, and we will usher in the first population explosion. But this is not enough, far from enough... My goal is that when the war breaks out, our planet will have at least 2 billion people!" Tang Xiao said.

"I will work hard towards this goal." Daphne Clemente responded with a nod.

"In addition, we need to make a long-term plan for our star fleet and marine forces in the future. We need to make a clear plan for our fleet. In the war that will break out in 10 years, our main fleet will be how to form it, this time, we need to have a direction." Tang Xiao said, nodding to Professor Chi Jianjun.

Chi Jianjun said: "I sorted out the data of the warships we currently have, and I have listed the warships that may be built in the future. Some of these warships can be used for sale, while others will be used as warships. Our core combat power exists. Then we can discuss this the next time."

After speaking, he pressed the button, and a list of hundreds of warships, large and small, appeared on the holographic screen.
