The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1082. Confederation Summit (Middle)

"...Our warriors, fight on Planet Rishi!"

Boom! Boom! The AT-TE All-Terrain Tactical Assault Walker strode forward with heavy steps. The anti-infantry scattering laser guns in front kept firing, and the heavy howitzers on top also fired powerful grenades.

In the direction of the mountains and mining area ahead, countless black shadows flew over, like locusts!

But these are not locusts, but hundreds of thousands of Geonosians!

Armed with specially-made sonic blasters, they flew flexibly in the air, and then condescendingly rained artillery fire on the Republic's positions.

At the same time, all the guns and missiles of the Republic's position were also fired at the sky, and countless Geonosians who were killed fell from the sky, as if it was raining...

"...they are still fighting in the Yago-Dur galaxy!"

Two huge Argonev-class interstellar bases are slowly rotating, and the energy core in the center of the base is like a glowing deep well, emitting dazzling light all the time. The powerful pulsed lasers installed on the four corners of the base irradiated rhythmically, leaving long burn marks on all the invading Republic warships.

The fleets of both sides were arranged in strange formations, and they did not dare to cross the barrier at all. Even the fighter formations were very cautious in their actions, as if they were flying and fighting along invisible passages.

The battle became a competition of pure firepower between the two sides.

This is because the complex gravitational force and magnetic field in the three-body galaxy Yago-Dur made the entire battlefield area unpredictable, and they had to keep their battleships and fighter formations fighting in a safe area.

Even so, such a battle is still extremely cruel.

In addition to being destroyed by the opponent's powerful artillery fire, there are always battleships and fighter jets accidentally rushing out of the safe zone because they are eager to avoid the opponent's attack, and then get caught in the ever-changing magnetic field and gravitational trap and lose control.

The battleship is okay, maybe there is a chance to come back after struggling a bit. But fighter jets will be torn to pieces almost instantly.

"... They are fighting in every corner of the galaxy!" Earl Dooku said loudly at the Laxus sub-planet, the independent galaxy confederation summit meeting.

"But now, I am very honored to announce that our supreme military commander, General Grievous, has won a decisive victory in the battle on Kamino! He destroyed the clone factory of the Galactic Republic and obtained clones. DNA data! Now, the clone army will be nothing to fear!"

Following Earl Dooku's voice, tens of thousands of representatives raised their hands and cheered. The scene was extremely enthusiastic.

"At the same time, our Confederation of Independent Galaxy will also carry out the first round of military reforms! Newer and more powerful warships will come off the production line! Put them into the battlefield! Completely defeat the evil Galactic Republic!" Earl Dooku continued.

In the huge holographic projection, the battle images of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser, Martha-class heavy missile cruiser, Dunov-class battlecruiser, and Doomsday Battlefield-class heavy cruiser began to be played, and even the imaginary supercarrier of the Endless class appeared Graphics and construction process.

These powerful new warships immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the venue became lively again.

"At the same time, we will also reintegrate our power! We will face conscription from all joining planets, use military service to offset the pressure of war taxation, and will build factories extensively, integrate logistics, and make our power more concentrated! Confederation of independent galaxies, Victory will be won!" Earl Dooku raised his arms and shouted.

In fact, most planets are not interested in these slogans of victory and so on, but the words of offsetting war taxes are real, and this is what they really care about.

The war has been going on for more than a year, and now these planets have been hollowed out by heavy taxes. They have to issue bonds year after year, mortgage resources and production, and let themselves owe more and more debts to those super corporate giants. more. The result that can be met is to mortgage their entire planet, and then let the people of the planet be taken away by these corporate giants.

However, when the representatives of these planets were full of excitement, several people's faces became a little ugly in the seats of the core members.

Enterprise Alliance Chairman Passel Argent, Technical Alliance Foreman Walter Tamber, Business Guild Leader Shu Mai, Geonosis Planet Grand Duke Bogle-Inferior and others looked around. Look, when they saw each other with the same blank faces and the leaders and representatives of the Interstellar Banking Association, Trade Federation, Dawn Planet, Fourth Group, and Semiles Planet with calm expressions, their faces sank even more.

At this time, Shu Mai, the leader of the commercial guild, finally couldn't bear it anymore. She pressed the speaking button, stood up and said loudly: "Then, may I ask Earl Dooku, before we cheer for victory, should we explain this so-called reform?" !"

"I will answer all your questions, respected Mrs. Shu-Mai." Earl Dooku saluted politely.

"The disobedient-class light destroyer, as a powerful support destroyer of our commercial guild, why didn't it appear in the planning of the new generation navy?" Shu-Mai was not polite at all, and asked directly.

Count Dooku smiled and said: "Ah, this is normal. Because from the actual combat performance, the Disobedient class cannot compete with the Galactic Republic's Jaeger-class battlecruisers, and our intelligence personnel also know that the Galactic Republic is preparing Designing and building a new generation of warships, so we must also plan ahead.”

"This is impossible! The Disobedient class must be produced! This is one of the prerequisites for us to join the Confederation of Independent Galaxies!" Shu Mai said firmly.

"Oh, dear Mrs. Shu-Mai, the times are constantly advancing, and the commercial guilds can't stand still. If you can design a new generation of warships, we are naturally very willing to order production." Earl Dooku said "You see, including the Generosity-class frigate of the Interstellar Banking Association and the Rookie Hook-class battleship of the Trade Federation, as well as the Higra-class battlecruiser of the Fourth Group, they have also been canceled from our shipbuilding plan. of."

Shu Mai gritted his teeth and growled: "That's because they got the Beast Class and Endless Class!"

Earl Dooku pretended to be stunned, "Oh, then since they have set an example, I believe the commercial guild will naturally take action, right?"

Shu Mai raised his voice sharply, and said sharply: "You clearly know that this is impossible!! The Merchant Guild is a trading group, and our focus is not on warship design! But we still provide a lot of funds and resources! Besides, there is no such thing as a war that needs to be replaced after a year of fighting!!"
