The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1085. The military reform of the Confederacy of the Independent Galaxy (Part 2)

In fact, Tang Xiao has long been planning a transformation.

The main battleships, drones, and fighters are all preparing for transformation, because the old battleships have been consumed a lot in the battle of the Eliadu galaxy.

And because the Salarians have digested most of the battleship technology of the Emma Empire in "EVE", now the Fourth Civilization has the conditions to fully replace the battleships of the Emma Empire. Among them, the prototype ships of the Disaster-class and Hell's Angel-class battlecruisers have been finalized and ready for sea trials.

Of course, these things are naturally impossible to get the Confederation of Independent Galaxies to talk about everywhere, and they are all later.

Going back to the Confederation of Independent Star Systems, after the naval battleship model is finalized and the production is unified, the Confederation's army currently has no plans to reform. On the one hand, the Confederate Army will be an important force to resist the invasion of the Galactic Republic for at least the next half a year. On the other hand, if too many reforms are made at one time, it will cause even greater internal chaos.

The political system of the confederation has also begun to change, and many new departments have been established to coordinate and manage many specific affairs in the entire confederation territory.

And the most important point is to reform the current war taxation policy that is the most hated by all the planets.

In the past, all planets had to pay war taxes, and they had to pay in money, and corporate giants would never accept anything else for profit. When some planets really can't afford the money, they can only borrow money from corporate giants through mortgage loans, and then use the borrowed money to continue to pay war taxes.

In the middle of this process, the final converted price of the mortgaged resources and properties can only be half of the original market price. This is naked robbery and plunder.

Moreover, the corporate giants did not even allow these planets to participate in the war, did not allow them to send troops, send spaceships, and did not even allow them to serve in the limited administrative organization of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies at that time.

To put it bluntly, the previous war was actually a war waged by these corporate giants united against the Galactic Republic.

Enterprises naturally cannot fight against the country, so they support their own war process by plundering the resources and wealth of these planets. This kind of war mode is not only anti-society but also anti-human, and it is useless except to drive the people to a desperate situation.

No wonder he won.

But now, although the Confederation of Independent Galaxies did not directly abolish war taxes, it has added options that can be directly mortgaged with materials or factory production capacity, and has set up a notary office to unify prices to prevent black-hearted companies from maliciously lowering prices.

And, open the channel for all joined planets to join the army, and agree that these planets send troops to offset part of the war tax.

Then build non-commissioned officer schools on many planets to train natural soldiers.

In this project, the Fourth Civilization, which has accumulated a large number of officer resources because it took the lead in using the natural army, benefited again. Many soldiers who retired due to injuries went to these non-commissioned officer schools to become instructors, which also brought the influence of the Fourth Civilization. force.

Therefore, the Confederation of Independent Galaxies reduced the war tax by allowing those corporate giants to reduce their profits, brought more soldiers, and also reduced the cost of war.

And in order to compensate these companies, that is to go back to what was said before - exchanging power for money.

Give corporate giants more political power to make compromises, and at the same time, behind the scenes are the efforts of the Freemasonry Alliance established by Tang Xiao.

However, this is naturally an expedient measure. In Tang Xiao's long-term plan, the ultimate goal is to nationalize all these corporate giants one by one.

But now, this knife will be cut on the commercial guild first!

As expected by Tang Xiao and Earl Dooku, Shu Mai, the leader of the commercial guild, was the first to strongly oppose the military reform, and his attitude was very firm.

This is inevitable. Compared with others including Interstellar Banking Association, Trade Union, Technology Union, and Fourth Group, commercial guilds do not have their own core competitiveness at all.

To put it bluntly, they actually do not have the strength to match their current status at all. Even the enterprise alliances that are further behind have a large number of their own robot factories, but the equipment of commercial guilds basically relies on OEM, that is, stolen designs. The plan to create a disobedient class light destroyer is barely a little bit of a card.

And this time the military reform directly tore off their only card, it's no wonder Shu-Mai agreed.

In this military reform, every other corporate giant has some way to survive, but for the commercial guild, there is no way to survive.

Of course, there is the most important point, that is, although there are many idiots among the leaders of these corporate giants, Shu Mai is definitely the stupidest and worst one. It is absolutely impossible for Shu Mai to accept such a huge gap! And those profit-seeking businessmen in the commercial guild are absolutely impossible to accept!

Before the summit was over, Shu Mai had already left early. After returning to his headquarters on Felucia, he began to claim that if Earl Dooku did not withdraw the military reform, then the commercial guild would withdraw from the Confederation of Independent Galaxies , to rejoin the Galactic Republic.

But this is absolutely impossible!

Before Shu-Mai could react, Tang Xiao and Earl Dooku's long-planned combination punch came down.

You must know that Shu Mai only found out that Tang Xiao and Earl Dooku were going to attack him in the past few days, but the two foxes, one big and one small, had been planning for several months!

Not long after Shu-Mai returned to the planet Felucia, the Freedak Volunteer Engineering Group, which originally joined the business guild, announced its withdrawal from the business guild.

The Free Dak Volunteer Engineering Corps is an engineering company established by the Quarren Isolation Alliance. After the Quarren Isolation Alliance rebelled against the planet Dak (Mon Calamari planet), they were accepted by the commercial guild at that time, and they were allowed to work in Parman Settle down on the special planet, and build huge docks and factories.

The price was that the Free Dak Volunteer Engineering Group joined the commercial guild and handed over a series of warship designs stolen from the Dak Star Ship Design Bureau.

For a long time, the Freedak Volunteer Engineering Group has also accepted large-scale investment from several other major corporate giants, and has become the largest shipbuilding enterprise in the Confederation of Independent Galaxy, but their division of affiliation is still a business guild.

But things changed after the civil war on Dak!

After the civil war on the planet Dak, Prince Lee Char of the Mon Calamari temporarily abdicated, and Nosori, the leader of the Quarren, ascended to the position of acting king of the planet. At the same time, the theory of the planet Mon Calamari was also abandoned, and the traditional The name of the planet Dak.

In this way, the political legitimacy of the Quarren Isolation Alliance was effectively recognized. Because every one of their political demands has actually been realized, so normally speaking, there is no need for the Quarren Isolation Alliance to exist.

However, in order to deceive people in public opinion and create a political situation on the surface of Dak that is neutral on the surface but actually pro-confederacy, the Quarren Isolation Alliance can continue to exist.

However, what does this have to do with your business guild?

That's right! The Quarren Isolation Alliance no longer needs the support of the commercial guild! They are no longer an exile organization that is not recognized by the mother planet!
