249. The Failed Summit (Part 1)

The business summit on Planet Eliadu was held as scheduled. At 10:00 a.m. local time on the planet, representatives from all walks of life came to the Cesvenna Hall - this was newly built for this business summit, and it can be said to be the top-level and most luxurious venue.

The guards from all sides were also in full force, and even the Republic Army, which was usually loose and slack, was in good spirits at this time, and looked around the venue with round eyes.

100,000 B-1 battle droids are also programmed into the guard sequence, and these droids, although rigid, can serve as a good supplement to the guard force. Putting a team of robots in some corners and nooks will make you feel more at ease.

On a road outside the venue, several Republic Army soldiers whispered, "Hey, how much property do you think those people in the venue have today? Do you have one trillion credit points?"

"Don't think about this kind of thing, you don't know the concept of one trillion credit points!" Another soldier rolled his eyes at him.

"I just want them to finish the meeting as soon as possible! We have to stand for 6 hours every day these days. I have never been so tired in my life..." said the third soldier.

"Who said no? And we actually want us to control our bodies and not be too fat. I don't dare to eat meat these days..."

"Hey, look at the robots over there, what do you mean by this level of meeting with so many robot guards?"

"What are you doing? They are the real main force! Do you think you can use them when there are enemies? With your chubby figure, it is estimated that a B-1 can hit you 5 times."

"Okay, thanks to these robots. Why don't you stand guard in public toilets? What a joke."

"That's right. Look at the guys in Group H. It's fun to use that team of B-1 robots."

"Who gave them permission? I heard that the second lieutenant in Group H, his brother is in the Sesvenna Sector Defense Fleet. It seems that he is also in charge of a consul-class cruiser! It has something to do with..."

"Hey, another car is coming! Quickly stand up!"

A convoy passed slowly on the road. Judging from the markings, it was a car represented by the Technology Alliance. There were hundreds of B-1 combat robots running on both sides of the convoy. Due to traffic restrictions during the summit, all vehicles are not allowed to be more than 1 meter above the ground, and no aircraft is allowed to fly over the city.

After all the delegates had gathered here, the summit was officially held a day later.

In the spacious and bright conference hall, seats are arranged according to the economic strength and political status of each organization. The Galactic Council, which presided over the meeting, was naturally at the top, followed by the delegation of the most powerful trade alliance and the Interstellar Banking Association, as well as the military representatives of the Republic's judicial fleet.

The trade alliance is a trust group of a large number of enterprises, among which the relatively large enterprises include the Quarter Power Shipyard, the Corellian Interstellar Engineering Company, etc., and their delegation also has more than 50 people.

It is worth mentioning that a super-industrial enterprise such as Quarter Power Dock is not only a member of the Trade Alliance, but also a member of the Technology Alliance. So there are also two groups of representatives they sent.

Continuing down are the Techno Union and the Enterprise Union, then the Business Guild, the Stark Veterans Association, and representatives of the Hutts.

In addition, Damask Holding Group is also in the meeting, but their position is relatively backward.

After that, there are the representatives who are in attendance. These are basically people who are listening in, and there is no room to intervene in the affairs of the galaxy. Some companies, including the Fourth Group, are here, but even so, being able to have a seat at this level of summit is already a supreme honor, which is equivalent to the entire galaxy acknowledging your status .

It is very interesting that Claire Underwood, as the founder of the Milky Way Outer Ring Planet Mutual Aid Fund, also received an invitation and had a seat. And even Francis Underwood is not eligible to participate, because Dawn Planet has not yet entered the parliament, so he has no official political status.

Of course, this should also be the olive branch that Schiff Palpatine extended to Francis and to the planet Dawn.

However, the summit did not go well at the very beginning. As the opening remarks, Phoenix-Valloran made some remarks about the Galactic Economic Community, the Great Prosperity, etc., and then put forward a major motion.

The Galactic Republic requires major commercial and economic entities to assist the Republic in completing the economic census in the Outer Rim region and formally taxing the Outer Rim region.

In exchange, the Galactic Republic is willing to loosen shipbuilding restrictions on these participating commercial and economic entities. That is, depending on the size and size of these economic entities, it is possible to build large warships with dimensions, firepower, and hyperspace performance that exceed the specifications set by the Russan Conference.

In Phoenix-Valloren's vision, these corporate giants should have welcomed the proposal. After all, the Russan Conference was very stubborn about the specifications of the spacecraft. Except for the Republic's judicial fleet, no organization was allowed to build and own warships over 200 meters. And the power of warship weapons is also strictly regulated, and the hyperspace engine level cannot exceed 1.0.

If this restriction is lifted, the trade alliance will be able to build no more than 150 large warships with no restrictions on size, weapon power, and hyperspace engine level, which greatly improves the strength of these enterprises.

According to this proposal ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the Interstellar Banking Association can build 120 large warships in addition to the already unlimited generous-class communication frigates, the Technology Alliance can also build 100, and the Enterprise Alliance can build 80 50 ships can be built by commercial guilds.

Once this bill is passed, it can be said that the business ecology of the galaxy will be rewritten. With the provisions of the treaty, the status of these enterprises will be more stable.

However, this proposal, which was given high hopes by Phoenix Valorum, was only exchanged for a sneer from the representative of the trade union.

"The current Milky Way is not very peaceful, and the interstellar pirates are one after another. I believe everyone has seen the dispute on the planet Tatooine a year ago. During that time, no caravan dared to pass near Tatooine. Because around Among the pirates in the world, there are even Hammerhead-class cruisers! Therefore, it is imperative to release the shipbuilding restrictions of the Ruusan Treaty. So I ask your Excellency Speaker, why do you use a certain thing as a bargaining chip , trying to make us pay more?" said the trade union representative coldly.

"The agreement of the Russan meeting came from the personal order of the speaker of the Galactic Republic at the time. This agreement cannot be questioned until an administrative order of the same level is obtained!" Phoenix-Valloren said loudly.
