863, the outcast of the times
After ending the communication, Tang Xiao looked at the place where the Bangila-Ulan hologram was projected and smiled sarcastically.
It is not without reason that Lundili Interstellar Power Company has reached this point. They cannot let go of their own arrogance and still regard themselves as the veteran industrial giant in the galaxy, so they have made mistakes in a series of decisions.
road.
In fact, a brief look at the history of the Galactic Republic will tell you that the three giants in the shipbuilding industry at the beginning of the Galactic Republic were Corellian Engineering Corporation, Core Galaxy Systems, Hersch-Koschel Drive Corporation, and Lundilli
Although Star Dynamics has a long history, at that time, they could not compare with the Big Three.
However, during the subsequent disintegration of Hersch-Koschel Drive Company, Lendilli played a big role and annexed many of their industries. After that, they launched the extremely classic Hammerhead-class cruiser, which became popular in the West.
He showed great brilliance in the Sri Lankan war.
After that, together with Kuat Power Shipyard, which also annexed the core galaxy system, they became the three new giants of the shipbuilding industry of the Galactic Republic.
But later, because of their arrogance, they were unwilling to take sides in political situations and fell behind everywhere.
Compared with the other two giants, Corellia Engineering Company is backed by the unique Corellia system, which is a system with five habitable planets, and they also own the Corellia Corridor.
, no matter what happens in the galaxy, their status cannot be shaken.
Quat Dynamic Shipyard has a long-term vision. It has invested in Sheev Palpatine very early, and actively participated in cartel organizations including technology alliances and trade alliances. It is very active in the political and business circles, and even
It can also be said to be radical.
At a time when the political future of the galaxy was still unclear, Kuat Dynamic Shipyard took an extremely important step. They directly ignored the provisions of the Ruusan reform and launched a cheer that trampled every clause of the Ruusan Treaty under their feet.
Hunter-class assault landing ship, and also began the research and development of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser.
In contrast, Rendili Interstellar Power Company actually does not have any core advantages. They do not have the stable market of Corellia, nor the enterprising spirit of Quat, and they are still clinging to the old ground.
When the galaxy is changing, what is Lendili Star Dynamics doing? They are still holding on to the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, making changes again and again, and even the production line of the Hammerhead-class cruiser more than 4,000 years ago has not been cancelled.
Rendili's people believe that the design of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser is sufficient to meet every mission of the Galactic Republic's Justice Fleet, and they can continue to receive stable orders from the Republic's Justice Fleet.
Therefore, they launched an improved version of the Dreadnought, reducing the crew from more than 16,000 to 2,204, and they happily believed that their technological progress was enough to satisfy the Justice Fleet.
And the Judiciary Fleet indeed placed a one-time order for 200 new Dreadnought-class ships to form the Blade Fleet.
However, an accident occurred during the Blade Fleet's maiden voyage, and all 200 battleships disappeared. The Republic's Judiciary Fleet believed that this was an error in the newly installed automation system of the Dreadnought-class, which caused this disaster, so it stopped all orders.
However, the political environment within the Galactic Republic continued to deteriorate, and large-scale conflicts occurred one after another. After the Battle of Naboo, orders for the Republic's judicial fleet began to be transferred to the Quat Power Dockyard.
At this time, Rendili thought that the order transfer of the Judiciary Fleet was due to the disappearance of the Blade Fleet. They spent a lot of money to investigate the location of the Blade Fleet, just to prove that the disappearance of the Blade Fleet was not due to the emergence of their automated system.
Fault.
It was not until later, as the war was getting closer, that Rendili suddenly realized that he quickly hired the talented designer Willix Blissex from the Kuat Power Shipyard and began the design work of the Victory-class Star Destroyer, but it was too late.
.
By this time, Quat Dynamics Shipyard had already quickly occupied the military market with its Cheer-class assault landing ships, Chasseur-class battlecruisers and Aquitens-class light cruisers. Moreover, their political investment had also achieved significant results.
, Sheev Palpatine became the Speaker of the Galactic Republic, and he reciprocated the favor by handing all orders directly to Kuat Power Shipyard without even a hint of cover-up.
It was only now that Rendili discovered with horror that he might be the one abandoned by the times.
They wanted to struggle, and their heritage of more than 20,000 years could indeed allow them to struggle for a long time. However, as the war progressed, they found that the situation had not improved at all.
Even though the design of the Victory-class Star Destroyer was completed half a year after the outbreak of the war, Bandila-Ulan tried every means and even used Tongtian's connections to put the design directly on Chancellor Palpatine's desk, but it still had no effect.
.
Palpatine threw the documents on the Victory-class Star Destroyer directly into the trash can without even taking a look at them.
The orders for warships from the Great Republic Army flew into the hands of Kuat Power Shipyard like snowflakes. The industrial star ring of Kuat Planet was fully started. At any time, thousands of warships could be seen being assembled continuously.
On the contrary, Lundili's side was deserted.
In the end, it was because the performance of the Victory-class Star Destroyers was indeed very superior that they received some orders from the Legion Governor, but the number was still pitifully small.
And even so, some politically sensitive army governors did not hesitate to treat Lundilli. For example, the 18th Army Governor Wilhuff Tarkin resolutely drew a clear line with Lundilli, even if the 18th Army's
The situation was extremely critical, and he would never use Rendili's warships, not even at a discount.
Regarding the current situation of Lundili Interstellar Power Company, Tang Xiao has a clear understanding of the situation. Whether it is the plot setting that he knew before time travel, or the information obtained from various intelligence networks now, this can be confirmed, so he is the one who is getting the
After the Blade Fleet, they used some tricks to fish out Banjira-Ulan.
However, judging from the attitude of Bangila-Ulan, it seems that they have not been forced to a dead end yet, and they still believe that they have the ability to reverse the situation, so Tang Xiao does not want to talk nonsense with them.
The Ulan family is indeed a super wealthy family that has lasted for more than 20,000 years, but because of this, it is difficult to convince them. After Tang Xiao understood Bangila Ulan's attitude, he chatted casually,
At least planting a seed in the other person's heart is enough. Anything more is too much.
Rendili will eventually betray the Galactic Republic, because they will be cornered by Palpatine.
But sadly, their betrayal was already within Palpatine's expectation. It was precisely because of their betrayal that Palpatine was able to hand over Rendili's super cake to the hands of Quat Power Dockyard.
Feed them thoroughly.
This is the reason why no matter what happens to the Galactic Empire in the future, even if it ends up being destroyed, Kuat Dynamic Shipyard has never turned its back on the Empire.
This is the cause and effect that Palpatine planted ten years ago.
What Tang Xiao wants to do now is to see if he can get anything before Lundili's final destruction. Lundili's 20,000-year heritage is the real power that can compete with Quart.
