The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1807. First voyage ceremony

Three Infinity-class super aircraft carriers, two Conqueror-class battleships, and one Ragnarov-class Titan battleship!

The meaning behind such a powerful fleet gathering on the planet Semels is self-evident. You must know that the current planet Semels is surrounded by spies from countless galactic empires and other forces, and countless eyes are staring in this direction at the same time!

Under such circumstances, Count Dooku still brought the Conqueror-class battleship No. 3, the Carnage, which had obviously been modified, to the planet Semels. It was obviously a demonstration.

He wanted to tell the Galactic Empire not to think that it would be a victory if the Confederation of Independent Systems was compressed in the eastern border of the Galaxy when it seemed to have the upper hand before! The current Federation of Independent Systems still has enough strength to keep the Galactic Empire stuck in the military fortress of Salukami planet!

In fact, the Federation of Independent Systems currently does have this strength! Even if the Dawn Principality rises strongly, the second largest force in the galaxy is still the Confederation of Independent Systems!

In fact, after Tang Xiao and Palpatine made peace alone, the Confederacy of Independent Systems has been resisting the offensive of the Galactic Empire alone until now. The Battle of Salukami, even from the establishment of the Galactic Empire, lasted six months, a full 210 days! If we include the Galactic Republic period, this battle has been going on for more than a year!

The Confederacy of Independent Systems resisted more than half of the Galactic Empire's fleet in the Salukami system and remained rock solid!

The Principality of Dawn couldn't even imagine this! Facing the attack of the Galactic Republic, the Principality of Dawn has always been able to win by surprise, and must win in the short term, otherwise it will face a total collapse of the war situation. But the Confederation of Independent Systems has no such concerns. They are going head-on with the Galactic Empire!

You want to ask why?

In fact, as Tang Xiao had told Count Dooku a long time ago - the most powerful thing about the Confederation of Independent Systems is not their large territory or fleets. But they...

Lit that spark!

Those planets that were reoccupied by the Galactic Empire are still finding ways to secretly provide support to the Federation of Independent Systems. Moreover, the current core area of ​​the Federation is backed by the Hutt space, and a steady stream of support and supplies are transported through the Hutt space, but the Galactic Empire is simply beyond its reach.

The Confederation of Independent Systems is now the light of freedom and the light of democracy in the entire galaxy. Those liberals who are hostile to the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn have placed their ideals and beliefs on the Confederation of Independent Systems!

It is precisely because of this belief that the Confederation of Independent Systems has resisted to this day.

After Count Dooku directly decomposed and eliminated the commercial guilds as a negative example to scare the monkeys, along with the reforms within the Confederation of Independent Systems, the Trade Federation, Enterprise Alliance, Interstellar Banking Association, Technology Alliance, Fourth Group, and Retail Federation The largest corporate giants have also begun to gradually change their previous purely exploitative practices and began to consider more sustainable development.

Because these corporate giants now know that it is impossible for them to go back. If they had some hope when the Galactic Republic was still there, but now with the collapse of the Republic, it is impossible for them to get any mercy from the Galactic Empire.

Therefore, the Confederacy of Independent Systems is their last resort.

Therefore, on the surface, the Confederacy of Independent Systems has been blocked in the Eastern Sector of the Milky Way, but in fact the support they can receive is far greater than the number they directly control.

Count Dooku also came to the bridge of the Infinity at this time. Everyone present stood apart on both sides, leaving the middle passage to him, and then bowed and saluted.

Severance Tann also stood aside, but she did not bow, but she still maintained a meticulous stance, expressing her respect for the upcoming head of the Confederation of Independent Systems.

The tall, majestic Count Dooku strode in wearing a black military uniform, a red-topped and black-bottomed velvet cape, and two cranked lightsabers hanging from his waist. His hair was already gray, his hair was neatly combed back, and his beard was trimmed just right. His whole person was as majestic as a lion.

Sometimes, Tang Xiao himself would feel that if he only looked at his appearance, Count Dooku was even more of a leader than himself. This temperament was something that neither Tang Xiao nor Palpatine could match. Of course, Tang Xiao and Palpatine each have their own momentum, which is enough to intimidate everyone.

After Count Dooku came in, he turned sideways and glanced at the captain's office. An imperceptible smile appeared on his lips, and then he raised his voice and said: "The war will continue! We will not be defeated! Victory will definitely belong to us. !”

Tang Xiao, who was watching all this in the captain's office, also knew that Count Dooku was speaking to him, but he just smiled faintly and said softly: "Long time no see, Count Dooku."

Count Dooku had already started communicating with others, and no longer focused on Tang Xiao.

For him, Tang Xiao's secret appearance here at this moment explained everything, and his heart also settled down. Because he understood that Tang Xiao had not given up.

This time the maiden voyage ceremony of the Endless-class super aircraft carrier was very grand, and the assembly of six super battleships also gave the Federation of Independent Systems endless confidence. Although the pressure from the Galactic Empire is extremely huge, they still have enough strength to resist to the end.

Count Dooku also delivered an exciting speech. He now understands the importance of the support of the people, so every speech he makes emphasizes freedom, fairness, and democracy. He packaged the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a fighter for freedom in order to gain widespread support from liberals in the galaxy, and he really did it.

His speech was impassioned and soul-stirring, and his powerful and magnetic voice seemed to be a natural speaker, mobilizing the emotions of every audience. And with the appearance of six giant ships, he successfully ignited the fire in everyone's heart!

Tang Xiao watched this grand event from the captain's office of the Infinity, and he was also very satisfied in his heart, because the situation was developing in the direction that was most beneficial to him - the Federation of Independent Systems resisted to the end, making it impossible for the Galactic Empire to live in peace, and However, he relied on the contract with Palpatine and seized every second to develop and grow.

After the maiden voyage ceremony, Tang Xiao walked out of the captain's office carelessly. Except for Count Dooku, everyone present was confused by his Force the moment they opened the door and had no idea of ​​his existence.

"Even if all the people here put together, they can't compare to the weight of you standing here, Your Excellency." Count Dooku turned around and said.
