"But …" Banjira Ulan wanted to say something, but when he saw Tang Yu raise his hand, he immediately shut his mouth.
Now that the situation had developed to this stage, it was a 180-degree reversal from when he had arrogantly approached Tang Yu and offered to help him maintain the newly reclaimed Blade Fleet for free. Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Company had become a fish on the Republic's chopping board, and could become food for the Kuat Kinetic Dock at any time, giving birth to the largest warship manufacturing company in the history of the Milky Way.
On the other hand, the Independent Star System Confederation, whether it was the Battle of Mulkana, the Battle of Umbara, or the Battle of Mon Carra, had all caused the Republic's fleet to suffer heavy losses. They had even successfully instigated Mandalore to rebel, causing the entire Neutral Alliance to collapse. And now, even the Corellian Star System had become independent!!!
Banjira Ulan was not a wise man with great foresight, but Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Company had developed for tens of thousands of years. Naturally, they had their own resources. When the entire Milky Way was still in the dark, he was one of the first to know about the independence of the Corellian Star System. He immediately understood what Tang Yu meant!!
At that time, Tang Yu had told him that when the time came, he would definitely look for him again. At that time, Banjira Ulan had thought that Tang Yu was just being stubborn. He did not expect that when the independence of the Corellian Star System happened, he immediately understood that this was what Tang Yu was talking about! Even if Tang Yu did not say a word, as a veteran in the business and political world, he naturally knew about the mysteries of politicians! Yes, once the Corellian Star System became independent, the Republic would suffer a fatal blow. Defeating the Independent Star System Confederation would immediately become a dream, and the end of the war would be far in the future!! At this time, Lendili had to make a choice. Otherwise, no one could guarantee what the crazy Republic would do!
As for the option of joining the Corellian Star System, Banjira Ulan did not even consider it. The Corellian Star System's shipbuilding industry was second only to Kuat and Lendili, so they naturally did not need their participation. Furthermore, they did not have the power to protect Lendili from leaving.
Tang Yu was now forcing him to make a choice!! Banjira Ulan knew that if he waited for Tang Yu to make everything clear, what awaited him would be a different treatment. This was his last chance!!
"We, the Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Company, hope to join the Confederation of Independent Systems and become a part of it, fighting for the goals of the Confederation …" Banjira Ulan said softly. For some reason, when he said those words, he instantly felt a lot more relaxed, as if the mountain that had been pressing down on his heart had disappeared.
Yes, it was different now. He had someone he could rely on …
A bright smile instantly appeared on Tang Yu's face. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Black Orchid, it should be us. Yes, we should fight for our goals! Independent Independent Star System Four Ulan "One Three Six"
Banjira Ulan forced a smile and said, "Yes … Yes, we …"
Tang Yu's expression turned serious. He said in a low voice, "Perhaps you still feel uncomfortable about not having the right to vote in the future and not being able to participate in politics. Let me tell you something from another perspective. What kind of environment do you think a business can achieve the best development? "
Banjira Ulan's mouth moved. He could easily say countless situations, but his instincts told him that these words would only make Tang Yu laugh at him. So, he chose to keep his mouth shut.
"Possessing countless political privileges, using government decrees to attack their opponents, not being bound by the law. Such a business would indeed be very powerful and profitable, but there are two points …" Tang Yu raised two fingers. "First, even if you have privileges, can you guarantee that others don't? Think about how you were squeezed out of the market by Kuat Power Dock. If the Confederation follows the Republic's system, how can you guarantee that such a thing won't happen again? "
Following that, Tang Yu paused, retracted his finger and continued, "Second, a country is like a tree. Be it a business, an army, or a political or economic entity, they are like the branches and leaves of this tree. "And once the branches and leaves are too lush, then the nutrients in the tree trunk will decrease. "Lastly, what will happen to a tree with a weak trunk but lush branches and leaves? "And when the tree falls, how long can those branches and leaves survive? "Don't you think that the Republic is such a tree? "Do you think that the appearance of the Independent Star System Confederation, and even taking over half of the Republic, is a coincidence?"
Banjira Ulan took a deep breath and retorted, "But a business that is being held back everywhere will never be able to grow stronger!!"
"Is that so? Then if this tree grows into a towering tree, do you think its branches and leaves will be small? "Tang Yu said calmly.
"Then do you think that the Independent Star System Confederation will be able to grow into a towering tree?" Banjira Ulan retorted.
Tang Yu suddenly sat up straight and leaned forward. A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his face. "So, aren't you worried that Lendili will be at a disadvantage after joining us? What I'm going to say next is where your interests lie … "
…
"Ding." Chen Gang gently placed the teacup on the porcelain tray, making a crisp sound. He then stood up, adjusted his loose sleeping robe, and walked to the window to look outside. In a spacious private swimming pool in front, Talon Calder was hugging a few beauties in swimsuits and teasing them. Shi Mingdong was sprawled on the artificial beach, enjoying a massage from the beauties.
Chen Gang smiled, turned around, and looked at the two naked women who were still lying on the bed. He waved his hand, and they quickly carried their clothes and walked out.
From Corellia's point of view, the past week could be said to have gone smoothly. After the highest level announced the establishment of the Five Star Alliance, Corellia very wisely kept a low profile. They separately made private calls with the highest leaders of the Republic and the Confederation, informing them of the deterrent power of the Midpoint Station and requesting them to recognize Corellia's independence.
At the same time, the various higher-ups returned to their respective spheres of influence and began to consolidate their power, fight against dissidents, and prepare for the public declaration of independence. Moreover, they were also preparing to rope in the other galaxies of the Corellia Sector to join the Five Star Alliance and strengthen their power. After all, the only galaxy that was confirmed to be independent was the Corellia Galaxy.
But Chen Gang knew that things would not be so simple. The Corellia Galaxy had lived under the leadership of the Republic for tens of thousands of years. No matter how dissatisfied they were with the Republic, the Republic's power was still deeply rooted here. Most importantly, Palpatine was not the future New Republic. He would definitely not be intimidated by the Midpoint Station!!
But for now, he could only wait and see. The Midpoint Station was now guarded by those professional technicians and the defense forces led by Girard Pelayne. Other than them, no one else was allowed to approach. Everything seemed to be so impregnable …
Is that so?
