Thorn Hill, however, had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Unfortunately, this is the decision of the Core Five of the Interstellar Banking Association."
"The DS-1 plan is the key to our victory over the Republic! With this super weapon, we can directly threaten Coruscant and make the Galactic Republic surrender!" Count Dooku's face was ashen.
"But our engineering team has assessed that it will take at least 10 more years for DS-1 to be effective, and the war we are currently facing will not last that long. In other words, investment in DS-1
, it is very likely that we will lose the war." Thornhill said.
"Lord Sidious will never allow something like this to ruin his plans to happen!" Count Dooku said angrily.
"Lord Sidious will definitely understand our decision, because it is for the victory of the war." Thorn Hill's mouth slightly raised, and said slyly, "Lord Sidious, it is also for us to win.
The Galactic Republic is like this, right?"
"I have to say, this is a huge betrayal, Your Excellency, Co-Chairman." Count Dooku had calmed down and said coldly.
Thorn-Hill continued: "In order to make up for the lag in the DS-1 plan, the core five-member committee unanimously agreed to implement a non-exclusive agreement in the outer ring sector and invest 500 billion credits in the form of equity pledges to build
Heavy industry in the Outer Rim Star Region. The first beneficiary of this agreement is the Trade Alliance, and we have already built a new super shipyard in the Outer Rim Star Region."
At this time, even Count Dooku had no reason to continue his attack. He said slowly: "I am naturally very grateful to the Interstellar Banking Association for its kindness, but this still means a very important strategic change. I think, we
We still need to take a long-term approach.”
"And that's why I'm here." Thorn Hill said this, but his tone left no room for negotiation.
…
That night, in a dark conference room, there was a sign like a scale. In the center of the scale, holding two scales, was an open eye.
Under the logo, there is a huge round table with six figures projected around it. Under their holographic projections, there are ornately decorated high-back chairs to show their distinguished status.
Representatives from Planet Semels, Tuunbaq Tula, Representatives from Planet Yag-Durr, Ziggs, Executive Director of the Fourth Group, Gross Shelbia, Governor of Dawn Planet, Tang Xiao, and Governor of Trade Alliance, Newt-
Gunlay, and Thornhill, co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association.
Each of them is wearing a bright red cloak hood. Although their different races make them look like this is even a bit ridiculous, they all have solemn expressions. And probably no one dares to truly believe the power behind these six people.
laughed out loud.
Darth Malsayil stood in the middle of these six projections, wearing a black cloak. His appearance and figure could not be clearly seen. However, the extremely powerful dark side around his body continued to flourish, and was even faintly visible.
There were wailing ghosts passing by, making people shudder.
This is a meeting of several core leaders of the Freemasonry Alliance. As the Freemasonry Alliance secretly becomes more and more powerful, and they control more and more resources, this secret meeting has gradually become an existence that can influence the situation in the galaxy.
.
"My Lord... I have successfully convinced the core five-person committee of the Interstellar Banking Association, and now our investment in the DS-1 program has been terminated." Thorn Hill said respectfully.
"Count Dooku, what's your reaction?" Darth Malsayir asked.
"Angry, unreasonable anger." A sneer appeared on the corner of Thorn Hill's mouth, "Even if I come up with another investment plan of 500 billion credit points, he will still be very angry."
"Investing in something that will take ten years to build is not in our interest at all! Nor is it in line with our purpose of winning the war! Your judgment is correct, Lord Count Dooku and Darth Sidious.
, they have other plans! They don’t want to win the war!” Newt Gunray said, waving his fist.
Darth Malsayir glanced at Newt Gunray. This is what this coward has always been struggling with. No, it is not so much struggling, it is better to say that he has been reminding himself that it is Darth Sidious.
I deceived him so that I could continue to give him the courage to resist.
"This is the first step for our Masonic Alliance to influence the policies of the Confederation of Independent Systems. This is just the beginning." Darth Malsayel said, "Count Dooku will soon find out that he has to follow our path for
The road he paved moves forward. And this road does not lead to Darth Sidious's plan, but to our true victory! Our own victory!"
"Equal trial!" Thorn-Ciel shouted.
"Equal trial!"
"Equal trial!!" Several other people also neatly echoed.
Darth Masayil looked at the six people in front of him with satisfaction, or rather, the four. Because this 'Tang Xiao' was just a clone; and Gross Shelbia was originally his.
Every part of the body is.
He has been gradually implementing this set of rituals in the small circle of the Freemasonry Alliance, just for a subtle brainwashing, so that these members can't help but bring themselves into the Freemasonry Alliance.
They will think that they are different and superior to others. This is the function of this seemingly middle-class mysterious ritual.
Once they develop such a distinctive sense of identity, they will naturally become die-hard believers in the Freemasons.
And the one who is most prone to this now is actually San-Ciel. His previous worship of Hego-Damask II also laid the foundation for his current behavior.
Thunback-Tula is also a very devout member. It's a bit funny to see her body squished into a ball but still shouting slogans hard.
As for the Given people representing Giggs, because the Given people themselves are a race close to absolute rationality, so although he followed suit, it was obviously just for show. This set of things is ineffective against the Given people.
Of course, a sense of ritual is not enough. In order to maintain this alliance, Darth Malsayel also needs some benefits, some benefits that make these elusive, but that only he can give.
"Your Majesty, the investment of 500 billion credit points has been approved, but what exactly will such a large investment be used to build?" Thorn-Hir asked.
"The eyes of God watch all living beings equally. If you give something, you will naturally get something in return. Newt Gunray, accept this gift of equality..." Das-Masayir said.
"This is my honor...ah...oh! Equal judgment!" Newt Gunray has just joined the team not long ago, and he is not familiar with some things. He doesn't know what to say for a while.
"The Eyes of God are the eyes of the God of knowledge and wisdom. This reward is also the knowledge you dream of." Das-Masayir spread his hands, and a memory device appeared in his hands.
On this memory, the silhouette of a square battleship is projected.
Seeing this thing, Newt Gunray suddenly became excited.
Das-Masayir said slowly: "Accept the gift of God's Eye... This is the product of this investment - super aircraft carrier, endless class!"
