2168. War Begins Again
Under such circumstances, pretending to be profound and playing riddles was useless. Count Dooku had been in politics for half his life. Before he left the Jedi Order, he had been handling all aspects of politics and diplomacy. After leaving the Jedi Order, he could even use his influence and charisma to persuade thousands of galaxies to leave the Republic and form an Independent Star Confederation. Against such a political veteran, all of Tang Yu's tricks were useless.
It was better to be direct.
"If the war continues, even if there is a winner, there is no guarantee that the Milky Way will become a better place," Tang Yu said after some thought.
Count Dooku did not respond. He only nodded and motioned for Tang Yu to continue.
"Because the Milky Way Galaxy is used to democracy and peace. They are used to making a ruckus in the Senate when their own interests are at stake, and they are used to being indifferent when other galaxies are in trouble. This is the isolationism and egoism that breeds under absolute democracy. Everyone will only think about themselves and not the Republic. With this mentality, if the Independent Star Confederation finally defeats the Republic and unifies the Milky Way, will things become better? "Tang Yu directly pointed out the key question.
He then shook his head and answered his own question. "Definitely not. The Trade Confederation, the Technology Confederation, the Galactic Banking Association, the Enterprise Alliance, and the Commerce Confederation that contributed the most in this war … These five commercial giants will claim to be the main contributors. They will demand all kinds of privileges from the Confederation, allowing themselves to be above everyone else and become a privileged class. They will control the military, politics, and economy of the Confederation, and they will never put the interests of the Confederation first. Because they will feel that if they can help the Confederation unify the Milky Way Galaxy, they will naturally be able to help other Tom, Dick, and Harry do the same. So with such privileges, they will only think about how to make themselves stronger, and not how to make the Confederation stronger. "
As he said this, Tang Yu slowly stood up and put his hands on the table. He approached Count Dooku and looked him straight in the eyes. "So the entire Milky Way Galaxy will become a colony for these commercial giants, a dumping ground for their goods, and a source of raw materials. Such an outcome is even worse than letting the Galactic Republic continue to rule. "
Count Dooku's face darkened when he heard Tang Yu's criticism of the Confederation. He unsheathed his lightsaber with a swoosh! The red plasma blade stabbed toward Tang Yu! However, Tang Yu did not dodge at all. The blade instantly stopped one centimeter away from Tang Yu's head. Even at this distance, he couldn't feel the temperature of the lightsaber at all. Only when he came into contact with it would the terrifying temperature instantly erupt.
"Are you trying to say that the Independent Star System Confederation that I single-handedly created was a mistake from the very beginning?" Count Dooku snapped.
"You should know the answer better than I do." Tang Yu met Count Dooku's gaze fearlessly.
Swoosh. The lightsaber retracted, and Count Dooku put on a calm expression again. He said slowly, "If you think that the Confederation is so unbearable and has no future, why are you fighting so hard for it?"
"I'm fighting for the Confederation, not for the commercial giants," Tang Yu answered.
"What do you think should be done to prevent what you just said from happening?" Count Dooku continued to ask.
"Someone needs to tell them what they should do and what they should think. For people who are used to being selfish and undisciplined, they don't need to think for themselves because they never think from the perspective of the collective. In that case, there's no need to think. When everyone understands how to think, everything will naturally fall into place, "Tang Yu said calmly.
"You're talking about a dictatorship," Count Dooku said coldly. Count Dooku said coldly, "After so long, have you still not given up on your identity as the Emperor?"
"It's not a complete dictatorship. We can call this a dual constitutional monarchy. Keep the parliament, but the parliament is responsible to the monarch, and all the final decisions are made by the monarch. This is to complete the transition. This is the only way to build a powerful brain for the galaxy, and not a pile of loose sand, "Tang Yu answered.
"Hahahahaha …" Count Dooku suddenly laughed. He then asked, "Then tell me, how are you going to deal with these five commercial giants?"
"Let them make money with peace of mind, make money happily, and let everyone know the prestige of the five commercial giants. Then … "Tang Yu made a chopping gesture." Then the blame will be theirs, the notoriety will be theirs, and the rest … haha. "
Count Dooku's smile suddenly disappeared. He stood up and said, "Next, we will have two directions to attack. First, Planet Umbara, cut off Kashick's supply line, and besiege this place for a long time. Second, Planet Mulkana. The attack on Planet Umbara will be led by General Grievous, and the attack on Planet Mulkana will be led by Sector G, where Planet Guardian is located. Emma Frost's army will also come to assist you. "
After saying that, he paused and continued, "As for you, your political thinking is too one-sided and childish. For this period of time, follow me. I will give a speech in the Confederation Parliament in the afternoon. You follow me and watch. "
Tang Yu was stunned and asked, "Watch the speech?"
"Hahahaha, I never need a speech." Count Dooku smiled and walked out.
...
Ten months after the Milky Way's civil war broke out, the war machine of Planet Guardian, which had been silent for three months, was activated again! In the outer space of Planet Guardian, twelve Generosity class frigates, four Defiant class destroyers, and four Heavenly Will class cruisers were ready to go! Although the Guardian Planet also had some Hunter-class cruisers and the like, considering the convenience of supply and maintenance, they would still only send out these battleships of Confederate origin when the fleet went out to battle. This was also Admiral Trench's intention.
On the surface of Planet Guardian, five spherical nuclear battleships were parked at the three main military centers of Yu City, Australia, and the Sahara. An army of 100,000 Zealots, 700,000 T-2 combat robots, and a large number of armored troops had already begun to board the ships!
The people who were still rebuilding their homes spontaneously came to the army's assembly point to see off the army that was about to go on an expedition. Even some mechanical lives that did not participate in the war came here and joined the ranks of the send-off.
Rows of combat robots entered the huge hull through the hatch, and there were three special conveyor belts at the side that transported heavy units such as Ceratosaurus tanks, Tyrannosaurus tanks, Black Tortoise self-propelled artillery, and war loaders into the cargo bay inside the hull. After the battle of Planet Guardian, the Amaterasu class mecha had officially been introduced into the battle order of Planet Guardian. The engineers of the Scientific Research Department were working overtime to design and build a new heavy land combat walker.
In the command center of Yu City's palace, Jane Connor and Frans were bidding farewell to Peacock and the others.
"In the original plot, I have uploaded all the information about the battle of Planet Murkana into Remi's database. The rest is up to you." Immortal Fox smiled at the short duo in front of her, who were still wearing the mighty Confederation Admiral's uniform.
"Ha, the opponent this time is Wilhoff Tarkin … Hahahaha! I'll kick his eyeballs until they explode!! "Jane Connor's face revealed a sinister smile.
"It would be best if that could be the case. Tarkin is one of the key people we have to kill. But once the invasion begins, Palpatine will definitely understand our strategic goals, and I'm afraid we will not have enough troops at hand. Before the Blade Fleet completes their maintenance, we must hold the front line, "Peacock urged.
