1987, Economic System (Medium)
Chen Gang laughed and played dumb. "This time, Senator Bell Organa came with sincerity, and we are also willing to join the Republic with the greatest sincerity. Why do you say that it has nothing to do with us?"
"Do you … have money?" Newt Gunley asked.
"Although the population of our Guardian planet isn't large, the wealth we can create is still very rich," Chen Gang said with a smile.
"Hehehehe, you're holed up on your own planet, so I'm afraid you don't know what's truly valuable. If I'm not wrong, you still think that things like gold and diamonds have real value? "Luhn Harko said.
"We heard from Senator Organa that the Republic's currency is something called Galaxy Credits," Chen Gang said.
"Oh! Hehe. " Newt Gunley laughed contemptuously. "It seems that Senator Organa is so eager to pull you into the Republic's sphere of influence, but he forgot to tell you the most important thing — the way to survive in the Galaxy. So, it seems that you're out of money. Do you have an interstellar fleet? Do you have the ability to stop the plundering of the omnipresent Interstellar Pirates? The most important question is, do you have the ability to go to the other star systems of the Republic? "
Even Tang Yu was a little speechless when asked this question, but Chen Gang was a wily old fox. He said calmly, "If you've seen the report of the Jedi Knights establishing contact with us, then you should have the answer to those questions just now."
It was a pun. If Newt Gunley answered this question, it would definitely expose his source of information or the information he knew about the Guardian planet. Even if he didn't answer, bringing up the topic of a Jedi Knight would still indirectly make him feel apprehensive. After the Battle of Naboo, the Jedi Order's attitude towards the Trade Federation was obvious. Newt Gunray was still on trial for starting the Battle of Naboo a few years ago, but because of the corruption of the Republic Parliament and the secret protection of Chairman Palpatine, he was able to continue to sit in the position of the Trade Federation's governor unscathed.
But Newt Gunray wasn't easy to deal with. Although the Neimoidians were cowardly and incompetent in battle, they were natural businessmen at the negotiating table. His round eyes immediately narrowed, appearing cunning and cold. "In that case, the Guardian Planet, a place that doesn't even have a Planetary Shield, is going to join the Milky Way Republic just like that? Do you really have the ability to protect your planet? "
As he spoke, he took out another grape, but he only placed it on the table and continued, "I looked at the twelve pieces of scrap metal around Planet Guardian. Can those things be used for defense? Let me give you an example. If a spaceship piloted by a desperado suddenly appeared next to your planet using a hyperspace jump and then dropped a powerful bomb through a loophole in your defense, what would you do? It's more likely that … "With a puff, the grape was crushed by his fingers.
This was a threat.
"I think this is the reason why you have come to visit me, right?" Chen Gang said.
"Hahahaha, why don't you take a look at this set of products we have!" Luhn Hakow walked up swaggeringly and placed a storage device on the table. Then, countless holographic projections appeared on it. "The latest Planetary Shield. It can generate protection for the planet without any blind spots, and can open and close entrances and exits at any place according to specific needs. You can customize one entrance and exit or up to four entrances and exits. We will also give you a free spaceport that can be connected to the Planetary Shield entrance and exit, as well as metamaterial energy that can be used for the Planetary Shield for half a year. It only costs 55 billion credits, but considering that you are, after all, a civilization that has just entered the era of the universe, we can give you a discount. 50 billion will do. "
As he spoke, he manipulated the screen to switch between different images, and then the images and data of several battleships appeared. "This is a Heaven-class destroyer, 1088 meters long, equipped with four four-barreled turbolaser turrets, 34 double-barreled laser cannons, two ion cannons, 12 point defense ion cannons, and 102 proton torpedo tubes. It can carry 200 Vulture robot fighters. With its existence, your planet will be very safe. The price of a Heaven-class destroyer is only 4 billion credits.
"If you think it's too expensive, we can also help you place an order with the Banking Alliance. The Wai-class frigates produced by them are relatively cheaper, only 1.5 billion credits will do. This is a discounted price because if you go directly to the Banking Alliance, they will at least ask you for 2 billion credits per ship. But if you ask me, the combat power of a Wai-class frigate … Hehe, a Heaven-class destroyer can kill at least three Wai-class frigates. "
This series of numbers in the hundreds of millions stunned Tang Yu. He was not good at this kind of bargaining at all. Fortunately, there were two business negotiation experts, Chen Gang and Shao Liwen, here.
Shao Liwen looked at the battleships on the holographic image expressionlessly and said indifferently, "Since we have joined the Galactic Republic, then the Republic's fleet will naturally provide protection for us, right? Why do we have to make ourselves look like hedgehogs according to what you said? We have just joined the Galactic Republic, and we are already expanding our military. Is this what the Republic wants to see? "
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Newt Gunley's mouth. "Do you really think that the Republic has the ability to protect you? That's why I said that you know nothing about the Galactic Republic. "
"You mean, the Galactic Republic can't protect us?" Chen Gang asked.
Gunley pointed, and Luhn Harko quickly replaced the holographic image with a vast star map of the universe. He pointed to a place in the center and said, "The capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant, and the surrounding galaxies are called the core area. That is indeed the safest place in the Republic."
Then he drew two circles with the core area as the center and said, "This is the Central Ring, the Colonial Area, and the Expansion Area. This is the Outer Ring. The security of these places is decreasing. As for the Outer Ring, it is a paradise for gangsters and pirates. As for the Republic's judicial fleet? Hehe, they won't go to the Outer Ring even in a hundred years. "
Finally, Newt Gunley marked a cloud on the star map, then lit up one of the planets and said, "And this is the location of your Guardian Planet. It is located between the Central Ring and the Outer Ring, and belongs to the Republic's western territory. In other words, if something really happens to you, there is a high probability that the Republic's fleet will ignore it."
After this star map was unfolded, Tang Yu had been communicating with the translation robot through the mechanical domain to translate the names of the vast and boundless planets on the star map. After Newt Gunley marked the location of the Guardian Planet, he also looked around. Suddenly, the name of a planet came into view, and Tang Yu could not help but be shocked!!
Endor!! The Guardian Planet was actually near Endor!!
