Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 599: Honor Award

Chapter 599: Honor Award

The Energy Planet Sarapin located in the Core Worlds was occupied by Separatism!

Such news shocked the people of the Galactic Republic. After several days of preparation and planning, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine formally held an emergency meeting on June 22 and proposed Bill No. 426117.

According to the content of this proposal, the Local Defense Forces of each Planet will be strengthened, and the Republic will send a Military Advisory Group to urge these Planets to expand the size of their Army, purchase Warships and Starfighters, and ensure that every Soldier in the Army has received more than 3 months of strict training.

However, most of this additional expenditure has to be borne by these Planets themselves, and the Republic will only provide about a quarter of the funds as subsidies. Not only that, the Ground Forces and Space Fleets established by these Planets must accept the Republic's High Command.

This motion is equivalent to the expansion of the Army for the whole people, imposing war on every Planet.

Those wealthy Planets in the Core Worlds and Inner Rim naturally don't matter, but many Planets in the Middle Rim and Outer Rim simply cannot afford such a high cost.

Most of the Planets in the Middle Rim and the Outer Rim were originally a low Technology Civilization that did not meet the standards of an Interstellar Civilization, but they were forcibly elevated after joining the Republic, and their productivity could not meet the demand at all. Therefore, most of the Planets can only be the dumping places of goods and the exporting places of labor and raw materials. Such an approach is tantamount to making these Planets who are already burdened with heavy war taxes even worse.

Representatives from Kuat Drive Yards and Corellian Engineering Corporation couldn't hold back their laughter on the spot, they were so happy. Once this proposal is passed, it is equivalent to another excuse for them to plunder the wealth of other Planets. They can also slightly refurbish Outdated Equipment that has been accumulated for hundreds of years and sell it at a high price. As for whether this equipment can truly resist Separatist invasion, it's none of my business!

However, this proposal was desperately opposed by a Group of Senators headed by Alderaan Senator Bail Organa. For a while, the Republic Senate was once again jittery, and the atmosphere was very tense.

On the other side, among the Administrative Centers of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Raxus, the representative of Dawn, Rosanna Goods, made a speech in the Confederacy's Senate with a proud face. After Francis Underwood took office as the Prime Minister of the Fourth Civilization, Rosanna Goods, who was once an elite-level business negotiator, served as a Senator of Dawn in the Confederacy of Independent Systems. She has finally reached the pinnacle of her life.

She conveyed this shocking news to everyonethe Soldiers of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, led by Admiral Sev'rance Tann, invaded the Core Worlds of the Galactic Republic, occupied the Energy Planet Sarapin, and caused hundreds of Core World Planets to go without power!

Not only that, but she also directly took out the Data of the Republic's Secret Weaponthe Decimator Tank, and handed it to Count Dooku himself on the spot as a spoil of war.

This is why it is said that this behavior was evaluated as a wonderful move by the wily and calculating Baron Helmut Zemo. Once the Data of this Secret Weapon is publicly handed over, it will directly cut off the possibility of Count Dooku secretly borrowing the resources of the Confederacy of Independent Systems to research this thing and then handing it over to Darth Sidious!

You know, because of Darth Sidious's public identityafter all, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is under the watchful eyes of everyone, and I don't know how many eyes are staring at his position, so he must be careful in every way. At best, he can be a role model for everyone.

At least for now.

Since he can't do a lot of work in private, a lot of dirty work is actually handed over to the Confederacy of Independent Systems under the leadership of Count Dooku, and the most famous project is the DS-1 Project, which is the famous Death Star!

The Death Star is a magnificent project completed by the Geonosians. It has to be said that this insect race may be born with a talent for this kind of giant structure, whether it is the Killik who once flourished hundreds of thousands of years ago or the current Geonosians, who are very good at doing this kind of super engineering.

Darth Sidious ordered Count Dooku to develop this huge project. Count Dooku deceived those High Ranks of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, telling them that it was a Super Weapon used to deal with the Republic, so those who lost on the battlefield were anxious. The established Corporate Giants and the Confederacy Planets have contributed money, money, and effort. On top of the heavy war taxes, the cost of a Super Project was added, and it was completed.

In the end, these Secret Projects became Darth Sidious's pockets, and those who contributed money and efforts, including Count Dooku himself, all became ghosts under the sword.

Interestingly, the Death Star's powerful Super Laser, and its Energy-Focusing System based on Kyber crystals, started from the Decimator Project.

But now, Rosanna Goodes directly put up the Decimator Project in the Senate to let everyone know that there is such a thing, but the details are not made public, and then directly handed over to Count Dooku. In this way, if Count Dooku wants to quietly hand over this project to Darth Sidious, he will face many restrictions.

On the other hand, the great power shown by the Decimator Tank in Sarapin has fallen into the eyes of the Republic. At this time, handing the Decimator Tank to Count Dooku is equivalent to handing over this hot potato to him.

In the end, the productivity of the Fourth Civilization was tight, and it was enough to give this hugely expensive project to Count Dooku and let him organize funds and manpower for research. Anyway, at this stage, the strength of the Confederacy has only advantages and no disadvantages for the Fourth Civilization.

In this way, it is equivalent to delaying the research, development and manufacturing of the Death Star. You must know that if the Death Star is really completed in the future, the Fourth Civilization will be fighting life and death, and it will be useless to occupy more territories. The Death Star will directly shoot at Dawn, and everything will become clouds.

Count Dooku is currently on Raxus, and he took over the Decimator Tanks Data Memory with a smile on his face, without any clues.

Afterwards, he announced that he would hold a Public Award Ceremony for the Generals who won the offensive at this stage, and said that he would personally meet Sev'rance Tann, the Admiral who fought all the way to the Core Worlds of the Republic and personally present to her a Metal of Honor.

But Rosanne Goods said that Admiral Tann was seriously injured because of the shameless sneak attack by the Jedi Knights.
