2274. Force
One day ago, Core Circle of the Milky Way, Corellia System.
"We will remove the Corellia System's isolation field and hope that the Independent Star Alliance's fleet can enter our system and help us expel the Republic's invading fleet, as well as clean up the Soro Family's rebel army." The 5-Star Alliance's executive officer, Gamm-Bell Iblis, said respectfully to Tang Yu in the guest room.
Tang Yu faintly smiled. It seemed that the 5 Star Alliance had been forced into a dead end. Now that the Soro family's restoration movement was becoming more and more intense, the king's supporters who participated in the rebellion knew that they could no longer turn back. Once they failed, only death awaited them. Therefore, they erupted with unexpected fighting strength and set off the flames of rebellion in various places.
The most important thing was that the anti-gravity device on planet Selonia had been lost. This made it impossible for the central point to fire. The anti-gravity devices on the other four planets could only fire at them, temporarily losing the ability to destroy the planet. The Republic's fleet was outside the Corellia System, outside the range of the planet-level anti-gravity devices. As long as there was a chance, they would pounce on the planet. This way, the longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the 5-Star Alliance.
Especially as a new regime, if they could not show their decisiveness and strength, they would not even be able to convince their own citizens in diplomatic occasions. This way, this regime would not last long.
Therefore, their only choice was to remove the isolation field and let the Independent Star Alliance's elite army come to support them. They would strive to recapture the anti-gravity device on planet Selonia in the shortest time possible, and then let the central point directly fire gravitational waves to intimidate everyone. But the problem was …
Tang Yu's expression started to turn cold. "The 5-Star Alliance doesn't have many battleships now. Previously, Anakin Skywalker easily broke into the central point. Now that you have removed the isolation field and the Republic's main fleet has jumped in, what do you plan to do? "
"So … we ask for help from the Independent Star Alliance, hoping that you can send a fleet …" Before Iblis could finish, he was interrupted by Tang Yu.
"Sending out a fleet to fight the Republic's main fleet to the death? Then, your Five Star Alliance will happily sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for us to help you reclaim the central point and then happily reap the fruits of victory, right? "Tang Yu stood up abruptly, turned around and walked out the door." Goodbye, Your Excellency Iblis. I wish you … a happy independence. "
"Your Excellency Tang Yu, you also know that we are unable to resist the Republic's attack. If you leave now, are you planning to let the Republic take control of the midpoint?" Iblis hurriedly said loudly.
Tang Yu turned his head and said, "The anti-gravity devices of the five planets can't be launched without a midpoint. 100,000 years ago, when the Kiliks moved these planets, they must have had other means to provide help to the midpoint, but now, we have no way to bypass this. Therefore, we only need to occupy one of the planets. As for the rest, we don't care. "
His footsteps paused, and he sneered. "The Independent Star Alliance still has the ability to occupy a planet." After saying that, he continued to walk out.
Cold sweat covered Iblis' forehead. He caught up and said loudly, "We are willing to accept any reasonable conditions you propose!"
Only then did Tang Yu's footsteps stop. He turned around and asked, "Any conditions? Including handing over the midpoint? "
"I mean … reasonable conditions … Didn't you say before that the midpoint can only be assured if it is under the control of the Five Star Alliance?" Iblis said with a smile.
"That was in the past! Now, I realize that you don't have the ability to protect the midpoint! "Tang Yu said.
"Your Excellency Tang Yu … You also don't want us to be re-occupied by the Republic! A complete Five-Star Alliance or a broken Corellia Galaxy. Which one is more beneficial to your Federation of Independent Star Systems? " Iblis did not care anymore. He grabbed Tang Yu's sleeve and said in a pleading tone, "State your conditions …"
Tang Yu then turned around with a serious face and said, "You have to know that the Republic is determined to get the midpoint. Based on what we know now, there are more than 200 warships gathered around the Corellia Star System! In other words, once I make this decision, it means that the Independent Star Alliance will need to bring out the same number, or even more warships to fight the Republic! As more reinforcements arrive, this number will only increase! "
"Yes … Yes … I know …" Iblis kept nodding.
"Of course, I am not an unreasonable person. Our conditions are actually very simple. First, two of the anti-gravity devices on the five planets must be handed over to the Independent Star Alliance to manage, and we must have the right to station troops there. Second, the Independent Star Alliance must participate in the research of the midpoint itself. We will also provide funds and personnel. In other words, every time the midpoint is used, the leaders of both sides must reach an agreement before it can be used. This will prevent the midpoint from becoming a tool for some people's ambitions. " Tang Yu stated the conditions that he had planned for a long time, and then added, "In addition, we also want your guarantee and support …"
Iblis's expression instantly changed. "The midpoint is the foundation of the Five Star Alliance. How can we give it away?! This is equivalent to handing over the sovereignty of our country to others!! "
Tang Yu coldly snorted. "These are the conditions. Do as you see fit!"
"No need, we accept this condition!!" Suddenly, three figures appeared in the middle of the office. It was the Sacoria Triumvirate! They had actually been monitoring the conversation here. Now that they saw the urgency of the matter, they quickly jumped out.
Iblis took a deep breath and said slowly, "I understand … We accept this condition."
"A wise choice. Because you must understand that the power of the midpoint is so great. If it is only controlled by one person, then the war over the midpoint will never end. "Tang Yu nodded and said.
Tang Yu understood that they had to force the Five Star Alliance to this point in order to make them give in. Otherwise, with such a huge cake like the midpoint here, they would not obediently give it up. And if they wanted to completely control the midpoint in the hands of the Five Star Alliance, perhaps this generation of Five Star Alliance leaders would not do anything, but no one could guarantee that the next generation would be like that.
"Then, the guarantee and support you mentioned just now … What is it specifically?" Iblis asked.
"That's a matter for after the war." Tang Yu said, "Now, let's first discuss how to deal with the main fleet of the Republic! Our fleet is ready. When the time is right, we can directly activate the hyperspace jump and arrive at the Corellia Galaxy. "
"Then, when is the time you mentioned?" Iblis asked carefully.
Tang Yu did not answer directly. He only raised his hand to look at the time, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.
There were 37 hours left until General Grievous' fleet arrived at the Lendili Galaxy …
