2137 、 Butterfly Wings
The Poison Fang Battleship was now wandering at the edge of the central sector. After half a month of rest, this super-large warship, which was nearly 5000 meters long, had been refilled with fuel, supplies, and ammunition, and was once again engaged in unrestricted raids. In these few days, the Poison Fang had captured a few more transport fleets. Under the powerful electromagnetic pulse cannons, these transport ships and escort warships were destroyed without any resistance.
General Grievous was commanding the battle on the bridge, and in the conference room of the Poison Fang, Tang Yu was standing in front of the communicator. In front of him, Count Dooku's projection was speaking with confidence and assurance.
"… In view of the good performance of the T-2 combat robot, I have decided to place an order with the Guardian Planet in the name of the Independent Star Confederation. The quantity is ten million units, and the price of each robot will be based on the Trade Federation's B-1 combat robot, which is twice the price of the B-1," Count Dooku said.
Tang Yu was overjoyed. An order of ten million T-2 robots, calculated according to the price of one B-1 robot of 100 credits, was a huge sum of two billion credits! Although the Milky Way was currently in the midst of war, the economic system had not collapsed, and there was no inflation. The purchasing power of credits was quite strong. The price of a Rukri Hook-class battleship was forty million credits. In other words, this deal alone was enough for Tang Yu to order fifty doughnuts!
In addition to the price of the robot itself, the subsequent parts, maintenance, energy, and other aspects would also continue to generate profits. This made Tang Yu sigh. Sure enough, the most profitable business in the world was still war.
Moreover, the share of this deal was far more than the five percent share promised by Count Dooku. It could be said that it was far more than that. This also conveyed a message — the Guardian Planet was now also an arms supplier to the entire Independent Star Confederation! Based on the structure of the Independent Star Confederation's war machine, this meant that the Guardian Planet would indeed enter the core of the Confederation!
Tang Yu nodded calmly and said, "After our spaceport is rebuilt, we can immediately deliver the ten million robots."
Count Dooku continued, "You don't have to worry about the reconstruction. The Enterprise Alliance will assist you in the reconstruction work, and the Confederation will bear thirty percent of the reconstruction costs. Very soon, Passel Argent will contact you. "
"In that case, on behalf of all the people of Planet Guardian, I thank Count Dooku and the Independent Star System Confederacy for their help," Tang Yu said with his head bowed.
"Very good. The sooner you recover your battle prowess, the higher our chances of victory will be. Also, I have arrangements for the Vanguard fleet. Someone is willing to help you with the maintenance of the fleet, free of charge, "Count Dooku said.
"Free? Who is it? "
"You'll know soon enough."
Tang Yu nodded in confusion and asked, "What's our next goal after this battle?"
Count Dooku replied, "I agree with the plan you mentioned to me before. There's no need to continue the battle on Kristovsis. Withdraw your troops from there first, free up your forces in Battle Zone G. After you've reorganized, go help Emma Frost take down the Chazwah System. Once the goal is achieved, several main hyperspace routes to the Outer Ring will be under our control. At that time, the entire Outer Ring will be ours! "
Tang Yu frowned and said, "Isn't this goal a little too much? After the battle on Planet Guardian, the Republic's strength in the Outer Ring has fallen to its lowest point. Even if we don't use the forces in Battle Zone G, we can still take down the Outer Ring. Why don't we carry out some more radical battles? That way, we can maximize the results of this great victory! "
"I originally wanted to attack Planet Camino directly because according to the intelligence, the Republic's clone army was cultivated here. However, the High Lord rejected this proposal. He wants us to first ensure that the Outer Ring is taken down, then we can consider other things. "Count Dooku took a deep breath.
Tang Yu was shocked! The amount of information Count Dooku had inadvertently revealed was too much! It would not matter if anyone else heard this, but Tang Yu was different. He knew how the plot would develop in the future!
The Battle of Camino! This battle took place half a year after the outbreak of the Clone War. It was a battle in the early stages of the war. As the coordinates of Planet Camino had always been the Republic's top secret, it was impossible for the Independent Star Confederation to find Camino in the early stages of the war. Therefore, the outbreak of this battle could only have been caused by Palpatine revealing the coordinates to Count Dooku.
However, the proposal for this battle had been rejected by Palpatine! In other words, he originally agreed to carry out this battle, but when Tang Yu, the butterfly, flapped his wings, it actually resulted in such a result! The battle of Camino would not break out!
This battle was something that Tang Yu and Deity Fox had discussed before. Among the few key factors that were likely to affect the outcome of the war, the battle of Camino was one of them! If Tang Yu could help the Independent Star Confederation capture Camino, then the Republic would lose the source of clone soldiers. They would have no choice but to recruit natural soldiers to fight. This way, the outcome of the entire war was still unknown.
In other words, Shive-Palpatine, who was also known as Darth Sidious, had changed his mind … He was starting to worry that the Republic would not be able to win the war in the end, so he rejected this battle plan and refused to reveal the coordinates of Camino! This was an important signal. This was going to be a 180-degree change in Palpatine's attitude!
In the past, Palpatine had secretly helped Count Dooku many times in order to put enough pressure on the Republic so that he could obtain more power in the war. Now, it was very likely that he had decided not to help Count Dooku anymore. In fact, he might even be more of a hindrance! This was because the war had just begun. Palpatine's plan to use the war to consolidate his power was far from being achieved. Moreover, if the Republic were to suffer a crushing defeat at this time, forget about obtaining power, he might not even be able to sit firmly in his position as chairman!
Tang Yu let out a long sigh and muttered softly, "Opportunity knocks but it doesn't come again …" Then, he put on an expression as if he knew that he was at a loss for words and changed the topic. "In that case, let's go with this plan. We'll withdraw from Kristosis first, then we'll complete the reconstruction work as soon as possible and strive to return to the battlefield as soon as possible. I'd like to stay on Venom Fang for a few more days. Recently, the Republic has begun to mobilize its fleet to encircle Venom Fang. I think I can help more or less. "
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Count Dooku nodded and turned off the communication.
Tang Yu sat down and drank a mouthful of water. Then, an unfamiliar call came in. Tang Yu only thought that it was the governor of the Enterprise Alliance, Passer-Argent, contacting him to discuss the reconstruction work of Planet Guardian. However, when he saw the caller's name clearly, he was stunned. Banjira Ulan.
Who was this person? He frowned and began to think about this very unfamiliar name in the world of Star Wars. Then, his heart skipped a beat. F * ck! It's actually this person! He came directly to me at this time! There were far too many hidden meanings behind this!!
