256,Transformation period
The Eriadu Business Summit is definitely a very big opportunity for the Fourth Civilization. This opportunity does not mean how important this summit is, but the failure of this summit is very important to them.
To briefly summarize what happened after the terrorist attack on the summit, this is basically the situation:
First of all, because the business summit failed, the Galactic Republic Council took the lead in overturning the table. Regardless of whether you talk about it or not, I have collected the taxes in the Outer Rim Star Region.
But the Republic's judicial fleet didn't say anything, saying that you are free to do whatever you want, and it's none of my business what the Republic does.
At this time, the Quat Dynamic Shipyard stood up and said it doesn't matter, I have built the battleship for you, and you can just use the money to buy it for the Republic.
Then the major corporate giants followed suit and raised the table. You want to collect taxes, right? We tore up the Rusang Treaty immediately and opened up the construction of large warships. If you have the ability, come and collect it.
Then the representatives from the Outer Rim Sector said one after another that the Republic is too cruel, we can’t afford to offend you and can’t afford to hide, bye bye.
The result of this is an arms race. Everyone can see that under the premise that major entities have begun to treat the Ruusan Treaty as waste paper, the danger level of the galaxy has skyrocketed.
If in the past, the most we could do was fly around with small spacecrafts, or at most some spacecrafts with a length of tens of meters, then now, it is very likely that there will be several 4,500-meter cruisers riding in your face at any time!
Just like when the fourth civilization just came over and was attacked by three bounty hunter spaceships. At that time, they were just small spaceships of tens of meters. Even if the mothership opened up to attack them, what could they do? But if
If three cruisers came, then the Fourth Civilization would probably have to surrender directly.
Therefore, those planets have begun to pay attention to their own security issues, especially the planets in the outer ring star region. Because in the outer ring of the galaxy, to put it bluntly, the Republic basically doesn’t care about you. There is a local defense fleet, but they are basically bosses, and they don’t care about trivial matters.
The kind that bothers me about big things that I can’t care about.
The planets in the Outer Rim belong to the Republic in name, but in fact they are mainly in line with the Republic in terms of economy and people's livelihood, mainly in import and export trade. Therefore, the link between the Republic and the Outer Rim Sector is not the Republic's judicial fleet.
It's not the administrative system of the republic, but those corporate giants.
To put it bluntly, this is how the Trade Alliance started.
Under such circumstances, the Fourth Group actually launched a light cruiser first, the Apocalypse class! You can say that this cruiser is strong, but it is far from the point where the Republic will personally control it. You can say that it is weak.
, but it is really better than any spaceship that can be bought on the black market now.
In addition, the Fourth Group was named and criticized by Palpatine at the summit, and its face was severely exposed. Now everyone knows about this emerging company that used the video of the Republic's fleet being beaten to advertise.
Therefore, whether it is the Revenge-class light destroyer, Phantom fighter and cobalt alloy-class heavy frigate that are currently the main products, or the Apocalypse-class light cruiser that has just been launched and only accepts pre-orders, they are all very popular in the black market. In just one month,
Received orders totaling more than 100 million credit points!
On this basis, Tang Xiao was not eager for quick success. On the contrary, he was very calm.
In the Endor galaxy, on the bridge of the Glory mothership, Tang Xiao, Minister of Administration Daphne Clement, Chief Engineer of the Scientific Research Department Chi Jianjun, Chief of Staff Qi Jian, Deputy Minister of the Supreme Command Karls Wharton, Chief of the Navy,
Commander Igor Zavalov and Army Commander-in-Chief Xiao Guanghua are convening a highest-level military meeting.
"You have all seen the changes that have taken place in the Milky Way. It has been two years since we came to this universe. During this time, the risk factor of this Milky Way has been rising linearly. This Eriadu Business Summit
It just exploded all the conflicts. I can only tell you that this kind of thing will happen many times in the future." Tang Xiao said slowly.
"We are no longer the defenseless people we were before. Now we are one of the few forces in the galaxy that can design and manufacture large warships on our own!" Qi Jian was very excited. The recent surge in sales made him extremely excited.
"But our key word is size. Managers, you can see this very clearly, so I, an old man, won't say anything more." Professor Chi Jianjun said.
Tang Xiao nodded towards Chi Jianjun, and then said to Qi Jian: "Qi Jian, you must understand one thing. The reason why we have a good momentum now is not because of how good and powerful we are, but because we sneaked away.
Being prepared for danger in times of peace is our most basic idea, not to mention that our current environment is far from safe. I can tell you that in one year at most, you will see earth-shaking changes in this galaxy. At that time, we will
Here comes the real challenge.”
"One year? In other words, things like the Eriadu Business Summit may become more serious within a year?" Zavalov asked with a frown.
"That's right, so we must have a clear plan." Tang Xiao stood up and said, "If in the past, our goal was to ensure our own safety, then from today on, our goal has truly changed to
There’s going to be a total war!”
Everyone became solemn.
"It is expected that all residents who are currently hibernating will wake up in half a year at most, except for special talents above the master level. And in 2 years, the first batch of frozen embryos will also enter adulthood, and we will usher in the first batch of frozen embryos.
A population explosion. But this is not enough, far from enough... My goal is that when the war breaks out, our planet will have a population of at least 2 billion!" Tang Xiao said.
"I will work hard towards this goal." Daphne Clement responded with a nod.
"In addition, we need to make a long-term plan for our interstellar fleet and marine forces in the future, and we need to make a clear plan for our fleet. In the war that will break out in 10 years, our main fleet will be
How to structure it, this time, we need to have a direction." Tang Xiao said, nodding to Professor Chi Jianjun.
Chi Jianjun said: "I have sorted out the warship data we currently have, and I have listed the warships that may be built in the future. Some of the warships can be sold, while others will be used as
Our core combat capability exists. Then we can discuss this in the coming time."
After speaking, he pressed the button, and a list of hundreds of large and small battleships appeared on the holographic screen.
