2006. Invitation, Independent Star System Confederation!
Tang Yu did not care about Count Dooku's powerful aura at all. Instead, he stared at him with burning eyes. After a moment, he said slowly, "You want me to abandon the Galactic Republic, which has just established diplomatic relations with us, and throw myself into your separatist movement?"
"Abandon? Hahahaha … No, it should be the Galactic Republic that abandoned you first, my friend. No matter who assassinated Palpatine, it is certain that they would not want to see you enter the Republic's parliament. There may be many such people, including the Jedi Knights! Think about what they did to the Mandalorians! Just because the Mandalorians had strong combat power, they almost slaughtered the orthodox Mandalorians! And you have the potential that is definitely not inferior to the Mandalorians! "Count Dooku said.
Only a fool would believe you, Tang Yu thought to himself. No one could be a Jedi Knight, but he knew that did not mean that others could see through the dark secrets behind this series of events. Moreover, it could be seen that Count Dooku was definitely an excellent negotiator, and definitely not inferior to Palpatine. However, unlike Palpatine, Dooku's way of talking was more direct. He used his own beliefs to influence the other party, just like a passionate warrior.
"And then? Throw yourself into your separatist movement. At this juncture, the Guardian Planet, which has just experienced the assassination of the Chairman, will definitely become the target of public criticism. It is possible that the day after I make the announcement, the Hunter Class Cruisers will have already surrounded us. At that time, the five Hunter Class Cruisers led by Major General Takin almost paralyzed the entire outer defense line of our planet with electronic interference alone. I don't think we have any ability to resist, "Tang Yu said disapprovingly.
"Please pay attention to my words, Your Excellency Tang Yu. My judgment of the Guardian Planet has always been based on the word 'potential', which also shows your current state of weakness. However, this will not be a permanent situation. Based on the information I have gathered about the Guardian Planet, as well as what I have seen and heard today, I have decided to help you. Stand up! "Count Dooku said.
"Stand up? Hehe. "Tang Yu smiled and asked," What's the price? "
The corners of Dooku's mouth curled into a smile. He walked towards Tang Yu step by step, spreading out his hand with his palm facing up. He said slowly, "Sometimes, a simple action can explain a person's different choices. For example, this current posture represented a request, or even a plea. But … "
He flipped his hand over again, the back of his hand facing up, and continued, "This action, however, signifies giving, bestowing. So, do you choose to pray or choose the gift? "
Tang Yu did not move. He only looked at Dooku with a faint smile.
Seeing Tang Yu's expression, the smile on Dooku's face disappeared, and he said in a low voice, "So, you chose the third path..." As he spoke, he clenched his open palm into a fist!
But Tang Yu still didn't move.
A smile blossomed on Dooku's face again, but this time, his smile was as cold as a thousand-year-old iceberg. "To tell you the truth, an alliance formed mainly by the oppressed galaxies in the Central Circle and the Outer Circle is forming. We are known as the Federation of Independent Galaxies! Within five years, we will have a war with the Republic! "
He leaned over, one hand on the table, and slowly extended his fist in front of Tang Yu. "The corrupt rule of the Galactic Republic should end here! The era of being dominated by the Core Galaxy should also end! And most importantly, the era of non-human races coexisting with humans should also end! A new order will be born in our hands...
"A clean, pure, and straightforward government should replace the Republic! This government should not be fighting to please those inferior races, but should protect the authority of us, the human race! The rotten and rigid Jedi Knights will also be crushed, and replaced by a truly powerful, iron-blooded, and merciless army! They will protect the rights of the government, and the rights of humans! And, they will expand the territory of the country!
"There will be no more overt obedience! No more corruption and bribery! Fairness and justice will be the only axiom of this new order! Only such a government can maximize the power in our hands, and let our civilization move towards another glorious era! In order to achieve this goal, I will sacrifice everything! Even if it's my life! "Count Dooku said fervently, his eyes burning with passion.
After a passionate speech, Count Dooku looked at Tang Yu again. His fist was still in front of Tang Yu, and he slowly said, "To you, my friend, I will not let you down. War is the most effective and fastest way to develop. What do you think? Therefore, on behalf of the Federation of Independent Galaxies, I would like to extend an official invitation to the Guardian Planet! Join us, and fight against power! Fight against exploitation! "
At this point, there was no point in being pretentious anymore. Moreover, joining Dooku's side had already been decided long ago. Tang Yu stood up, clenched his fist, and bumped it against Count Dooku's. A dull thud rang out as the two fists collided. He went straight to the point and said, "State your terms!"
"Hahahahaha!" Count Dooku laughed loudly. "I was right about you! I was right about the Guardian Planet! You are different from those cowards in the Republic! You will choose war without hesitation when the time is right! "
"I have no interest in taking things one step at a time. The fleet that Major General Tarkin brought made me see one thing clearly — in this seemingly peaceful galaxy, strength is still the only thing that matters! In that case, I can only use the method that the Guardian Planet is best at to deal with it — war! "
A glint flashed in the corner of Tang Yu's eyes. "Unlike those in the Republic who wallow in peace, I like war! The development of our planet is built on war! Very soon, you will thoroughly understand this point. "
"In that case, please accept our greeting gift," Count Dooku said, taking out his communicator and pressing it lightly. Count Dooku pressed a button on his communicator and said, "You can inspect the goods now."
In the outer orbit of the Guardian Planet, there was a flash of light, and then seven huge battleships appeared in an instant, quietly motionless!
Tang Yu waved his hand, and immediately a robot walked over, projecting a holographic image from its chest. The optical image was aimed at the fleet! A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "You are indeed too generous, Count Dooku."
"Hehehehe …" Dooku laughed and said, "Four Defiant class light destroyers, gifts from the Trade Guild and the Technology Alliance; four Generosity class frigates, gifts from the Galactic Banking Group; two Providence class cruisers, gifts from the Trade Alliance …
"In addition, I already know what Newt Gunley did before. He hid it from me and tried to extort you, almost ruining my plans. As compensation, I ask that they deploy the planetary shield for you for free, and help you set up the robot factory. Finally, in my own name, I will provide you with 50 million credits as start-up capital. Of course, this is not a loan, but a gift … "
