2110, Seed, and Hope
Hutt Space, near the Assen galaxy.
The gigantic Venomfang battleship was quietly parked in the shadow of a barren planet's moon. The cargo platform in the middle of the battleship was greatly expanded, and hundreds of transport planes were continuously transporting supplies from Assen to this place. The B-1 robots would then transport the supplies to the hover train in the middle of the battleship, and then transport them to every corner of the battleship.
Tang Yu stood on the cargo platform, looking at the hover train whizzing past in front of him while checking the cargo accounts on his personal terminal. General Grievous stood beside him, but his attention was clearly not on the goods. He was only staring at Tang Yu.
"Alright, reduce the number of B-1 robots and B-2 super combat robots belonging to the Marine Corps by 10000, and redeploy 2000 Destroyers. The replacement parts for the hyperspace engine have been sent over. Not bad. Also, where are the Quarren engineers I asked for? "Tang Yu asked as he looked down at the list.
"Seven Quarren technicians, all here." General Grievous waved his hand, and a few B-1 robots brought over seven people wearing black hoods.
Tang Yu walked over and pulled off their hoods one by one. As a race that lived in the ocean, these Quarren looked like squids. Their heads were very sharp, and their chins were full of tentacles. After their hoods were pulled off, they looked around in fear.
"Very good. Welcome to this great voyage. You will work in the damage management department to ensure the normal operation of this battleship. Your families have been properly settled, and you have been provided with a salary that is more than ten times your original salary. As long as you work hard, you will receive even more. But if you have any other thoughts, not only you, even your families will die! "Tang Yu said calmly as he looked at these people, but his tone was full of murderous intent.
The Quarren technicians hurriedly nodded in agreement, then followed the robots to their respective posts.
"I don't quite understand. Why aren't you worried at all now that the Guardian planet is under attack? Are you even interested in discussing the distribution of goods on the Venomfang battleship with me?" General Grievous asked as he stared at Tang Yu.
"Judging from the combat power that Planet Guardian has displayed so far, it's only a matter of time before the Republic attacks us. I've already come up with the biggest contingency plan, so it doesn't matter if I'm there or not. Because a long time ago, when I discovered that I didn't have the talent to lead an army in battle, I gave the job to someone else. Besides, the key to the victory of the Guardian Planet battle doesn't depend on me, right? "Tang Yu nodded and said with a smile.
"You've seen it quite clearly," Grievous said.
"This war is not that simple, General Grievous." Tang Yu put down the list in his hand and waved his hand to let the last hover train leave. He then continued, "Have you ever thought about why we didn't even receive any information when the Republic was about to launch an attack on Planet Guardian?"
General Grievous replied, "No one would have thought that the Republic would temporarily abandon the Hutt Dimension and free up the Thirteenth Army. Are you questioning Count Dooku's decision? "
"Hehe." Tang Yu shook his head and said, "There are some things that only you and I know. Sometimes, even Count Dooku himself might not be able to see what's behind this war. Just like when you were a warrior of the Kali, it might not have been the Republic fleet that shot down your shuttle. "
"What are you trying to say! Tang Yu! " General Grievous's beast-like golden eyes flashed with a fierce glint. His huge body sat in front of Tang Yu and he bent down to stare at him.
"What I want to say is that I know very well why I'm fighting this war. That's why I can remain calm when Planet Guardian is under attack. But in contrast, you don't understand why you're fighting this war. You don't even know whether your chessboard is chariots, cannons, or soldiers … "Tang Yu said slowly.
"Don't talk in riddles with me, Tang Yu. You should know that what you're doing now is trying to bewitch one of the highest military commanders of the Independent Star System Confederation! "General Grievous said sternly.
"There's one thing I can guarantee you. I'm definitely an enemy of the Republic. There's no turning back. And I'll definitely be an ally of you and Count Dooku. I'll never betray you. It's just that the way I act and understand things is different from what you usually know. For example, why do I insist that you change the Venomfang Battleship's cargo ratio? "Tang Yu suddenly changed the topic.
General Grievous was now very wary of Tang Yu. He said coldly, "Speak."
"First of all, the Poison Fang's current position is to attack, so there won't be any large-scale landings. There's no need for a large number of marines. But the other problem is the internal defense of the ship. You know what a Jedi is capable of. If there's anyone who can board the Poison Fang, it's almost certainly a Jedi. That's why I added 2000 Destroyers. These robots can effectively stop the Jedi from advancing. "
"Also, considering the Poison Fang's combat mode, we rarely engage the enemy in direct combat. There are only two forms of combat. Either the Poison Fang fires at a fleet paralyzed by electromagnetic cannons, or we're being chased by the enemy's superior forces. So the most important factor is to ensure our mobility and damage control. That's why we need a few real engineers to lead those dumb B-1 robots. "
Tang Yu spread his hands. "Do you understand now? I'm definitely the one who doesn't want you to die the most. If you don't believe me, we'll see. "
General Grievous glared at Tang Yu, then suddenly flung his cloak and turned around. "I'll pretend that today's conversation never happened, and it better not happen again! Otherwise, I'll hand you over to Count Dooku! Also, I'm not interested in the matter of you shooting down my shuttle back then, but that doesn't mean I'll never be interested! When the time is right, I'll ask you again! You'd better not play tricks with me! "
"I don't intend to deal with an idiot who doesn't understand after hearing it once. Next, I'll prove it to you with facts. Prepare the remote conference room. I think someone important will come looking for me soon. "With that, Tang Yu boarded a hover train and headed for the rest area.
After the train entered, Tang Yu turned his head. He could still feel General Grievous's gaze on him from afar. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There were many things that could only be said when one had a sufficiently important position. Otherwise, it would be suicide. Just like how he absolutely did not dare to say that Palpatine was Darth Sidious to anyone. Even if he said it to Master Yoda, it would still be the path to death.
But now was the best time to plant a seed in General Grievous' heart. This was because Tang Yu understood that General Grievous himself did not know why the Confederation would withhold the information about the impending attack from the Guardian planet and not let Tang Yu leave.
"Since you want to plot against me, then I have to do something, right …" The corner of Tang Yu's mouth slightly curved up. He took out a communicator from his pocket. There was a secret message sent in Morse code on it. General Grievous did not restrict Tang Yu's communication with the Guardian planet. He only reviewed every message for confidentiality reasons. This set of Morse code hidden in the normal content only had one sentence, but it revealed a chess piece that he had been planning for a long time!
