The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

392. Birth of the Main Battleship

Dawn Planet, Semiles Planet and the Ji Wen people signed a secret agreement to establish a free aid alliance, with Tang Xiao, the governor of Dawn Planet, as the leader.

Because among the three planets, it is still the Dawn planet that actually masters the core technology. Population can be born, factories can be built, but the core technology, this thing does not invest tens of billions or hundreds of billions, and there is no sound at all.

In addition, Tang Xiao is an advocate, and the terrifying Titan battleship outside is also owned by him. As the leader of the alliance, neither the Ji Wen people nor the Semiers people have anything to say.

After that, the diplomatic and political steps of the three planets began to move in unison.

They began to take a nonchalant attitude towards the separatist movement advocated by Earl Dooku, not only expressing their support for his ideas, but they have been unwilling to take any actual actions.

Count Dooku only thought that these planets were going to sit on the fence because of their own strength, so he didn't think too much about it. There are too many planets to lobby for what he needs to do, and he doesn't have time to keep staring at these few planets.

At a time when the Republic's full attention was being drawn to the Separatist movement, the Freemasonry began a series of extensive collaborations.

They first established a secret team, with Ji Wen as the core, and the members were all senior engineers who had previously participated in the analysis of the Ragnalov-class Titan battleship. This project is currently only in the preparatory stage. The total number of the team is not large, only about 200 people, but it will be equipped with the most advanced experimental and computing equipment, and a secret experimental site.

Their goal is to launch a new, terrifying project.

The project was classified as top secret, so that all relatives of the entire team were restrained to ensure that no information would be leaked. And this project now has only an inexplicable name - Ankylon project (Ankylon project).

Afterwards, they concentrated their greatest strength and began to analyze their future main battleship project - the Kol-class Battleship (Kol-class Battleship)!

This battleship is the main battleship of the Traders Emergency Alliance in "Original Sins of a Solar Empire". It is 1,100 meters long. According to the battleship classification of the Fourth Civilization, the battleship is downgraded to a battlecruiser.

The Cole-class battlecruiser is a fairly good ship, with almost all of its heavy firepower focused on the front. At the forefront, there are 4 heavy laser cannons and a large electromagnetic railgun with a diameter of 40 meters. This railgun is a semi-axis base gun, and the length of the whole gun reaches more than 670 meters.

In addition, the Cole-class battlecruiser also has a complete close-in defense system. There are two quadruple-mounted close-in defense laser cannons on the rear and starboard sides, three on the port side, and two on the top of the front section. It is a dual-mounted medium-sized turbo laser cannon that can be used for short-distance defense and can pose a sufficient threat to large and medium-sized warships.

And the Cole-class battlecruiser also has a very powerful shield system and a solid and unusual armor and structure, but as a sacrifice, the hangar of the battleship is not large, and can only carry 12 ghost fighters or 30 vulture robot fighters. The battleship has a crew of 2,500, including 500 marines.

In general, the Cole-class battlecruiser has powerful firepower and solid defense. It is a very standard large battleship for fleet decisive battles. With a strong energy supply, the four heavy laser cannons and the terrifying 40-meter-caliber electromagnetic railgun can deal a devastating blow to the opponent's warship.

Not only that, a nuclear bomb launcher for orbital bombing is also installed under the battleship, which can launch a fusion nuclear bomb with an equivalent of 50 million tons and has 60 rounds of bombs. Basically, if there is no other resistance, this one battleship can cause terrible damage to a planet.

The Cole-class battlecruisers will be built by the Semiles. The first order is 100 ships, 25 for the Dawn Planet, 40 for the Semiles, and 35 for the Givens. This is also because there are as many as 10 billion people on the planet Semiles, and the stall is very large, and more warships are needed to protect itself.

The analysis of this kind of battleship is expected to be completed in 3 months, because the main technology has been overcome during the previous development of the Ragnalov-class Titan battleship, including the 40-meter-caliber large electromagnetic railgun in front of the battleship is also Ragnar A miniature version of the 500-meter-diameter super electromagnetic gun on the Love-class Titan battleship.

These 100 warships are expected to have a construction period of 10 years. After that, the Masonic Alliance will build more warship factories. In this case, the output will gradually increase.

...

While the Freemasonry Alliance is operating in secret, the Fourth Civilization still hasn't stopped in Coruscant's Congress of the Republic.

In the eyes of outsiders, since Schiff Palpatine was elected as the Speaker of the Republic, Francis Underwood attacked Palpatine like crazy, regardless of their previous good relationship.

On the council floor, Francis Underwood has been attacking Chancellor Palpatine, saying that he manipulated the election for personal gain and tried to divide the Galactic Republic.

At this time, Palpatine would retort, saying that it was you who colluded with a large group of planets to sing against the Republic.

Francis will soon take the tax policy of the Outer Rim star area as an example, saying that Palpatine has continued the wrong policy of Phoenix-Valorum, and that taxation in the Outer Rim star area is the exploitation of these planets.

And Palpatine asked back, how is tax collection a split? It is obviously a policy that is conducive to the unification of the Republic.

Francis' impassioned statement, if it is to be beneficial to the unity of the Republic, then please ask the Republic's judicial fleet to show courage to clear up the pirates in the Outer Rim and give the Outer Rim star region a stable environment, then the tax policy will naturally be will be enforced.

Each time, the two parties will use their own means to quarrel for half an hour on this issue. The most powerful thing is that because they are well prepared and eloquent, although it is a topic every time, the words they say are still different every time. Heavy sample.

Not only that, Francis also began to strongly support the councilor Ainle-Tim of the planet Marathal. After Tim lost to Palpatine in the election, he was not convinced. He attributed his failure to the betrayal of the member of the planet Reinoth, Aoun Free Tower, so he hit it off with Francis.

Francis, ostensibly headed by MP Tim, used his influence to win over other MPs, mainly the former ring faction MPs.

In this way, after several months of unremitting efforts, some of the ring faction members who were previously torn apart because of Aoun Free-Ta's defection are now beginning to reunite in part. They are headed by Francis and Tim. , claiming to be the New Ring faction, seems to have formed a powerful political force.
