Count Dooku knelt on one knee and said with great respect to the holographic projection in front of him, which was shrouded in a cloak and exuded a cold aura: "Great Lord, our plan is proceeding smoothly. As you expected,
The Guardian Planet is indeed a huge variable. This battle has dealt a heavy blow to the Republic's arrogance. Now we can control the entire Outer Rim Sector and it is just around the corner."
Darth Sidious's thin lips trembled unnaturally, and then he snorted and said: "Everything was as I expected, and the Guardian Planet did not disappoint me. But you should
Understand the meaning of some of my arrangements before this battle. The guardian planet can be used as a sharp sword, but this sword will eventually hurt ourselves. You know what to do..."
Count Dooku lowered his head deeply, hiding the trace of disapproval at the corner of his mouth, and replied respectfully: "Don't worry, Lord. I can hold up the guardian planet, but I will naturally break it. When the situation is over,
When it is completed, the Guardian Planet will not be able to cause any waves."
Darth Sidious nodded and said: "As long as you understand. Now that Yoda has retired, but his whereabouts are unknown, I want you to send people to search for his whereabouts immediately. Once his whereabouts are discovered, shoot him without mercy!"
"Yes, Lord. In addition, I plan to launch a raid on Kamino Planet. If we can successfully destroy the clone construction facilities on Kamino Planet, it will be very beneficial to our next plan. However, Ka
The coordinates of the planet Mino do not appear on any galaxy map, and have been listed as the top secret of the Republic. Please let me know, Lord." Count Dooku lowered his head and said.
Darth Sidious thought for a while and then said, "Now that the Republic has heavy defenses on Kamino, it is not the best time to attack there. You should first stabilize the rule of the Outer Rim Star Region and not let it go."
The results of the Battle of the Guardian Planet were in vain. I heard that on the planet Rodia, you messed up again, right? I tried my best to make the famine there more serious, but the special correspondent you sent there was only focused on
Thinking of making money from the Rodians! In the end, the planet Rodia was returned to the Republic! Should I say that this special commissioner is a fool? Or should I say that you who sent this special commissioner are a fool?"
Count Dooku said with great fear: "This is my mistake. Newt Gunray is a greedy guy, but now we still need his power... Please don't worry, I will definitely invade Rynos next."
During the battle on the planet, the goal was achieved perfectly."
"Planet Rynos, haha... Then, I will wait for the good news from Rynos. If I can see Orn Free Tower appearing in the parliament in the future, I have to say, I really
You will be very disappointed." After Darth Sidious finished speaking, he closed the communication without explanation. [Note 1]
Count Dooku breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground. His expression looked a little gloomy. With his political experience, he could easily see the outcome of Darth Sidious's battle against the Guardian Planet.
He was a little dissatisfied. That's why he caught the insignificant Rodia planet and scolded him. As for the reason for his dissatisfaction, Count Dooku could also guess.
The balance was almost broken.
According to their plan, the direction of this war should have been for the Confederacy of Independent Systems to be aggressive in the early stages of the war with its passion, forcing the Republic to do its best to deal with it. Then, with their strong strength, the Republic would strike later and win in one fell swoop. In this way
, in order to push Darth Sidious, also known as Sheev Palpatine, to the supreme position of emperor!
But... Count Dooku's slender eyes narrowed, and his snow-white and neatly trimmed beard trembled slightly. Less than half a year after the war started, the Republic suffered such a major failure. Is it still because of his own mistakes?
Shouldn't it be a manifestation of one's own ability?
Count Dooku stared at a potted plant next to him. With a thought in his mind, the majestic Force swept out and gently wrapped the green plant inside the pot. Under the influence of the Force, the plant began to become visible to the naked eye.
Branches sprouted, leaves scattered, and flowers blossomed at a rapid speed, becoming more and more lush and thick. But at this time, when he looked at this plant, he was a little distracted...
When he was awakened by a crisp sound, the plant had grown so luxuriantly that it even broke the flowerpot. The crisp sound was the sound of the flowerpot breaking. Looking at the plant again, it seemed like
It was as lush as a small tree. It was like... He couldn't help but look at the flag with the hexagonal emblem on his desk. This mark was designed by him himself. Count Dooku suddenly felt a little irritable. He waved his hand,
Let the cleaning robot come and clean this place up.
After rearranging his clothes and putting on the expensive black velvet cloak, the proud leader of the Confederation of Independent Systems appeared in front of the mirror again. He nodded slightly, walked to another office, and opened the communication.
"Count Dooku." Tang Yu's figure appeared in the holographic projection. He nodded and said, but his expression looked very heavy.
"The battle that has just ended and the battle of the Guardian Planet have shown the determination and will of the Guardian Planet to the entire galaxy, as well as the determination of our Federation of Independent Systems to fight for freedom and justice! I want it from the bottom of my heart.
To you and to the warriors who protect the planet, I say: I admire you!" Count Dooku said loudly, stroking his chest and bowing slightly to Tang Yu.
Tang Yu quickly stepped aside and said quickly: "These are the contributions of our soldiers who protect the planet and everyone who supports us. How can I not dare to take such great credit?"
As he spoke, he sighed again and said: "Leave aside the robot soldiers, the more than 400,000 soldiers who died on the battlefield, the more than 9 million people who died as a result of this war, and the more than 500 million people who were displaced.
He is the real hero of this victory.”
His expression was unusually sad. This was not entirely an act. Although he was bragging about the 400,000 soldiers killed, the number of more than 9 million civilians who died in the war was not false. Because although the guardian planet
They have made complete preparations for the war, built complete and huge underground shelters, and each shelter will always send a common civilian evacuation signal across the galaxy. It is true that the Republic army has never attacked these places, but guns and cannons have no eyes.
Who would take this into consideration in a war?
There are not a few civilians who are accidentally injured in wars.
For example, a falling Cheer-class assault landing ship hit right on top of one of the shelters. Although the strong structure of the shelter did not collapse under the impact, the fall of this huge battleship caused earthquakes and landslides.
However, the entrances, exits and vents of the entire shelter were sealed, and all 500,000 civilians inside suffocated to death!
There were also some civilians who lived in remote villages, far away from the battlefield, and therefore did not enter shelters. They were purged by the Republic army because they spontaneously attacked the supply lines of the Republic forces. One of the iron rules of war is that if a civilian
If you pick up a weapon, you will be regarded as an enemy army, and the other party can shoot them without hesitation. But even so, these civilians still chose to fight for the emperor and the guardian planet!
In general, the number of more than 9 million casualties is due to the perfect evacuation mechanism of the Guardian Planet. If it were replaced by other planets, this would definitely be a disaster with hundreds of millions of casualties! But even so, Tang Yu sees
Seeing this number is still shocking, and my heart twitches.
Even in the previous war when the White Lion King invaded the world of "Pacific Rim", there were not so many civilian casualties. Because that war was mainly fought around the portal, the Lanxiang team had enough time to evacuate and relocate the civilians. But now, this
But there are more than 9 million people!! And these people bluntly said that they died for Tang Yu!!
Because it was Tang Yu's decision to bring the entire planet to conquer the world of "Star Wars"! It was also Tang Yu who sent these people to the battlefield! There is no doubt about this, because just like the name of this world,
This world is a war-torn world. You come here just for the war! Because as long as you participate in the war, the guardian planet will almost certainly be invaded!
Even if Tang Yu felt that he had become a hard-hearted person for a long time, he could not remain indifferent to the deaths of more than 9 million people! Especially when he saw Count Dooku's hypocrisy and Newt Gunray's groveling,
Tang Yu would think that the courtesy he was receiving now was obtained through the deaths of these people! Can he feel at ease?
Yes, he must feel at ease. Because he is Tang Yu, the God of Machinery. Even if he is removed from the throne, he is still the emperor in the hearts of all the people of the Guardian Planet! The Emperor who protects the Empire! He cannot be merciful.
, you can’t feel guilty for this! Because he is the emperor, any weakness on his part is the weakness of the entire empire!
One general's achievements lead to thousands of dead bones, so what if one emperor ascends the throne? Tang Yu knows that Darth Sidious will eventually become the emperor of the Galactic Empire in the plot, and the bones that will be stepped on under his feet are at least tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions!
!
Seeing Tang Yu's true feelings revealed, Count Dooku was also a little moved. He said in a deep voice: "I will assure you that all the sacrifices to protect the planet will not be in vain! I will be on Lasax No. 4 in three days.
The star held a ceremony to commemorate the heroes, holding a memorial service for the heroes who died for the war until now, for the cause of the Confederation of Independent Systems, and for the freedom and justice of the galaxy. This is also for the guardian of the planet..."
Tang Yu nodded. He also understood that Count Dooku could do this because of the strength shown by the guardian planet. If the guardian planet is just a weak existence like the Rodia planet, are you kidding? The sacrifice will not be in vain?
Sorry, it was all in vain! Because even if we win and share the spoils in the future, it won’t be your share! Because you are weak, there is no chance for you! Politics is such a reality!
Count Dooku asked again: "So how many robot armies are there on the Guardian Planet now?"
"60 million!" Tang Yu answered straightforwardly. This number is not a lie. Because with the terrible photon constraint 3D printing technology obtained from Hyperion, it only takes only
It takes less than 1 minute! The Guardian Planet can easily explode hundreds of millions of robot legions, but 60 million is a reasonable number given by Prime Minister Chen Gang. If it is higher than this number, then energy and logistics will become
It's a huge problem, so the number of robots on the Guardian Planet has always been maintained at around 60 million. How much is lost is replenished. As for the 14 million robots lost in this battle, it should be replenished within a month or two.
However, when Count Dooku heard this number, he understood it to mean something else. Because he also knew that the Guardian Planet had an army of 60 million robots before the war, and had lost 14 million in the battle to defend the Guardian Planet. These he
Everyone knows it. So now that Tang Yu still tells him that there are 60 million robots, he naturally does not think that Tang Yu means that he can quickly replace these robots. He thinks that Tang Yu means that no matter how the Republic attacks,
No matter how you bomb, no matter how much you beat the Guardian Planet, the Guardian Planet will never give in, and will always maintain its original determination and enthusiasm!
Thinking of this, Count Dooku was in a good mood, and the trace of haze he had during the previous phone call with Darth Sidious disappeared. He couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Hahahahahaha! Good! Good! Good!!! As expected!"
It’s the guardian planet! As expected of Tang Yu!! Good! Good! Good!!”
He said a long list of good words in succession, and then suddenly said: "Since you and the Guardian Planet are so loyal to me and the Federation of Independent Systems, I will never turn a blind eye! I will never treat such a person badly.
Comrade-in-arms, such a comrade!! Guardian of the planet will become a core member of the New Order, and I will do what I say!"
Tang Yu smiled bitterly and said: "No matter what, the Guardian Planet is now considered crippled, and the Blade Fleet also needs large-scale repairs and maintenance to truly become combat effective. Next, my focus must be on rebuilding my homeland.
But don’t worry, we still retain a large number of robot troops, the fleet’s losses are not big, and we can still continue to participate in the war.”
Hearing about the Blade Fleet, Count Dooku asked: "Speaking of which, how did you find the Blade Fleet?"
Tang Yu threw out the rhetoric he had prepared for a long time, "My men accidentally discovered a semi-crazy beggar in Nashada, and heard him say something like "black tide" and "sharp blade" after drinking. Later,
During the interrogation, we discovered that this beggar had escaped from the Blade Fleet, so we followed the clues and found the lost fleet."
Count Dooku didn't have much doubt, because finding the Blade Fleet really could only be attributed to chance and luck. He no longer dwelled on this, but turned back to the previous topic and continued: "Then this is your destiny.
, your opportunity is very good. And I said that I will never treat you badly, so listen carefully, this time the reward for the guardian planet..."
