"Star Wars: The Fourth Scourge (

228. Industrial Giants

Tang Xiao originally came out from Darth Plagueis, and was in a bad mood. Now that the assistant handed over the target, he immediately wanted to attack.

When he speaks, he is not angry and arrogant. Whether as a Sith or as a leader, his current momentum is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.

The assistant was already trembling with cold sweat and hurriedly fell to his knees and explained: "No... that's not what I meant... Manager. This is technology accumulation, not to build these warships right away..."

"Get up and talk." Tang Xiao said lightly.

The assistant stood up and continued to explain: "The puppet-class drone carrier is for us to build an aircraft carrier to accumulate technology, and the ion cannon destroyer is to further enhance the firepower of our fleet, and the Apocalypse-class light cruiser is for...

"Who reported this plan? Wait a minute, I guess, it wasn't reported by Chi Jianjun, right?" Tang Xiao asked before he finished speaking.

The assistant lowered his head and said in a low voice, "No... it was submitted by Karls Wharton of the Supreme Command... Some of his opinions conflict with Professor Chi..."

Tang Xiao smiled coldly. The Fourth Civilization is not that big, and now there is still a factional struggle? He snorted coldly, "It's good to have different opinions, but what's the situation when it obviously goes against my proposal of the established plan? So, Karls-Wharton thinks that my decision to suspend the development of large warships is wrong. ?"

"No...no! I don't think he would..." The assistant soaked his clothes again in cold sweat.

"Tell me what I said to Karls Walton. The punishment for him is that he will be imprisoned for a week. If he commits the crime again, he will punish himself. That's it." Tang Xiao dropped these words and walked away.

"Yes!"

Coming to the office, after reviewing the urban development strategy reported by the Minister of the Interior Daphne Clement, Tang Xiao looked at the entry message waiting for his instructions, and then connected to a communication.

Francis Underwood's holographic projection appeared, he first bowed to Tang Xiao, and then said: "Finnis Vallen is preparing to hold a trade summit on the planet Eriadu, this trade The summit will bring together the galaxy's major corporate giants and other influential organizations. It aims to resolve current disputes, initiate dialogue, and put the Galactic Republic back on track."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, "This meeting will not lead to any results. You can decide our current diplomatic strategy with reference to the main opinions of the trade alliance at the meeting. My request is only one - let our industrial capabilities be further understood. Tie, don't just use our power in the black market, we need orders from official channels."

"You seem to think this meeting is a victory for the trade union?" Francis asked.

"Yes, no. But what I need to remind you is..." Tang Xiao stretched out his thumb and scratched his neck.

Francis nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Recently, Schiff Palpatine once again revealed the idea of letting us enter the Galactic Council. According to my judgment, he is likely to come for real. ."

Tang Xiao nodded, "According to his plan, the time is beginning to approach. If he wants to impeach Phoenix Valorum and remove him, and then replace him, he must get enough votes. As long as you continue to show your support in this regard. Worth, sooner or later he will hand us the olive branch."

"The opinions of the cyclops are very important, and I have a closer relationship with them at the moment. But in fact, I think the votes of the cyclops themselves are in Palpatine's plan, and what he needs should be the votes of other factions. "

"Like?"

"Quart Planet, Rendili Planet, Corellia Planet...the support of these old industrial planets and the huge industrial giants they represent!" Francis Underwood became serious, "but we must Understand that these old industrial planets simply look down on other political entities in the galaxy, and they don't bother to participate in any factional struggle. Because they know that no matter how the galaxy changes, their own position will always be rock solid. So they participate in politics Their sole purpose is to secure their own interests."

Tang Xiao pondered for a while, and then said: "If I guess correctly, Palpatine should have started his plan for these industrial giants. However, my understanding of this aspect is not particularly detailed, but I know a The general direction. In Palpatine's future plans for his empire, one industrial giant is enough. And he chose Quat."

Francis nodded slightly, "So, are Rendelli and Corellia abandoned?"

"Corellia is okay, because the Corellian system has five abnormal habitable planets. They are a comprehensive and powerful system themselves, and industry is only part of their power. Even if Palpatine becomes emperor, Corellia still has enough ability to guarantee her status~www.mtlnovel.com~ so...you understand." Tang Xiao smiled slightly.

"I know what to do." Francis said, "I may use some small tricks next, and I think the two people on the planet Corellia will be very useful."

"Dryden Voss from Scarlet Dawn, and Mrs. Pixi from White Worm? It doesn't matter, you can go find them. Now my relationship with them is in the honeymoon period. It's pretty good." Tang Xiao replied, " It is a good choice to use them to start the layout in advance. I can also remind you that the highest level of the Corellian system has always wanted to be independent, which is their deeply hidden political inclination. Political leanings tend to favor a grand unified galactic power. Relatively speaking, Lundili is the most businessman-like of the three.

"This is very useful information."

"And what about Yuri Orlov?" Tang Xiao asked with a sigh.

Francis shook his head, "No, the Jedi Order keeps staring at him, and Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundy seems to hate Yuri so much that he takes all his anger out on Yuri. In Master Mundy Yuri was sentenced to life in prison."

"So, Celia Planet's mediation failed?" Tang Xiao said with a meaningful smile.

Francis also smiled and said: "I think Vitaly Olof should know more about this. In recent months, he has been moving around without a sigh of relief, and everyone has lost a lot of weight. Don't worry. Well, manager, now Baron Zemo has a plan, and we are all preparing for it. Yuri, should be able to be released within half a year."

[PS: In fact, the prototype of the Quat Power Dock is the Krupp of Germany, while Corellia is more like California in the United States.
