2237 、 Making the best use of the situation
Tang Yu smiled mockingly and said, "End the war? Ending the war this way will only lead to greater conflict in the future, and you won't be able to end it. Now that the Republic and the Confederation are facing off against each other, all the conflicts are out in the open. This gives us a chance to resolve these conflicts. But if you use the Midpoint to forcibly end the war, the conflicts will not be resolved. On the contrary, they will erupt in unexpected places. And … "
Tang Yu glanced at Count Dooku from the corner of his eyes. "Once the Midpoint is used, it will lead to the destruction of an entire planet. What are you going to do? A rebellion breaks out in Umbara and destroy planet Umbara. A rebellion breaks out in Mon Carra and destroy planet Mon Carra … Do you think the riots will stop because of this? Never. This will only lead to more rebellions. Because of the existence of the Midpoint, everyone has lost hope of survival. Since there is no hope of survival, why not take a gamble? "
After saying that, he paused, leaned back on the sofa, and crossed his legs. "And there will always be a time when you can't do it. What will you do if Rathax breaks out in rebellion? What will you do if Coruscant breaks out in rebellion? Destroy Coruscant? Even if you really do that, what will be left of the galaxy after a few decades? Any order that was forcibly established by force would not last long. So you should be rational now. You shouldn't be unable to see this. "
Count Dooku closed his eyes to calm himself down. Indeed, the temptation of the Midpoint was too great for him. When he and Palpatine started the DS-1 project and started building the Death Stars, he had been longing for such a superweapon. Now that a ready-made superweapon was right in front of him, he almost lost his mind.
"Wouldn't the Midpoint be like this in the hands of the Corellians?" Count Dooku asked.
"They are a group of merchants. Even if it's a planet with a population of only a million, they won't have the heart to do it. So, the Midpoint is the most suitable in the hands of the Corellians, at least for now, "Tang Yu answered." I only told you now because I was worried that you would overthink it. "
Count Dooku snorted. "Overthink it? Hehe, you are thinking … "
With that, his expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "Are you still doubting me? You're still worried that I'll hand over all the fruits of the struggle to Palpatine, so you're waiting for everything to be settled to force me to move forward? "
"That's what I meant. Now that the Corellia Galaxy is independent and the Milky Way Republic has cut off one of its arms, it's too late for you to regret it," Tang Yu said calmly.
"Nonsense! If you had told me about this in advance and let me help you set it up, the situation would have been much better!! And you gave up such a great opportunity just because of your doubts?! How long do you think the merchants of Corellia can remain independent? Do you think they're a match for Palpatine? "Count Dooku snapped.
Tang Yu was speechless. He understood that this was the flaw in the plan. In fact, he had only brought forward the Corellian Galaxy's rebellion because the Corellian Galaxy had always had an isolationist tendency. When the time was right, they would be more than happy to be independent. Therefore, whether they were independent or not had little to do with who was in power in Corellia. It only had to do with whether they had the ability to be independent.
But here was the problem. In the original Plot, when the Corellian Galaxy revolted and wanted to be independent, their opponent was the New Republic. As everyone knew, the New Republic was a regime built by a group of idealists. They only talked about ideals and not reality. After defeating the Milky Way Empire, they could not wait to push aside Princess Laurel and make peace with the remnants of the Empire and the domestic oligarchs. But others did not care about this group of peasants. After the collapse of the Empire, the Kuat Power Dock turned around and went to support the First Order.
And the saddest thing was that in the face of Kuat's blatant act of betrayal, the New Republic did not dare to do anything to the Kuat Power Dock. In the end, when the First Order made a comeback, the New Republic's main warship was still the Meng- Carra Mali cruiser. This was the New Republic, a weak and powerless regime.
However, the bunch of good-for-nothings in the Corellian Galaxy were not even a match for the New Republic, let alone the even more cunning Shive-Palpatine!
Even so, Tang Yu could not admit defeat in front of Count Dooku. He always understood that no matter how much Count Dooku trusted him, he was still a Sith, and an old fox who had been in politics for decades. Never confide in such a person, because in the eyes of a politician, there was no such thing as emotion. Therefore, even though Tang Yu said that he would tell Count Dooku all his arrangements, he could not tell him that when Chen Gang first started operating in the Corellian Galaxy, the Predator fleet led by Dragon Fang had already been lurking in the Corellian Galaxy. He could not tell him that Chen Gang and Shi Mingdong carried a large number of T-X and T-1000 Terminators in their personal spaces, enough to turn the tide in a critical moment.
Tang Yu smiled and said, "It's because I know how strong the alliance and agreement between you and Palpatine are that I only believe in the general situation I see and not what you say. The current situation is that because of the independence of the Corellian Galaxy, you can no longer go back to the past and respect Palpatine as your Lord. Palpatine is a Sith Lord, but if you kill him, you will become a Lord. And it's because of this step that I can truly believe that the new order will be born in our hands, and I will be your firmest ally. "
Count Dooku gave Tang Yu a deep look, then changed the topic and said, "Garm Bell Iblis, who has been appointed as the first executive officer of the Five-Star Alliance, has sent me a secret message and asked about the attitude of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. Although it seems abrupt to me, I promised that the Confederation would recognize the independence of the Five-Star Alliance. I believe you have also given them your guarantee in private, right? "
Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Count Dooku had chosen to go with the flow and recognize the independence of the Five-Star Alliance without him telling him. This showed that he had indeed seen an opportunity in this matter and had strengthened his determination to fight against Palpatine. More importantly, he had chosen to believe in Tang Yu in this unknown situation.
Tang Yu nodded and said, "The Five-Star Alliance has not publicly announced the existence of the midpoint station, which means that they only want to use this weapon to force the Republic and the Confederation to recognize their independence. They don't want to make a big deal out of this. They just want to get rich quietly. The news of the Five-Star Alliance's independence has not been officially announced yet, and the Corellians are probably still bargaining with the Republic. "
Count Dooku sneered and said, "They are too naive. Putting me and the Confederation aside, when Darth Sidious knows of the existence of the midpoint station, will he let it go? The isolation field will not stop the Republic fleet for too long, but before that, I believe that Sidious will definitely make his move! "
