2135,arms race

Amidst the noise in the parliament hall, Speaker Sheev Palpatine's impassioned speech, and the deafening applause of the members, the Galactic Republic Parliament quickly passed three bills.

First, immediately borrow 100 billion credit points from Interstellar Banking Group.

Second, add a new order to the clone factory on Kamino, requiring the other party to provide another 3 million clone soldiers. At the same time, provide an order to the Quat Power Shipyard and start building 200 more ships, including the Jaeger-class cruiser. Cheers

A group of warships including the Hunter-class assault landing ship. Provided an order to Urshaus Manufacturing Company, requiring the other party to immediately manufacture 1 million sets of mechanized exoskeletons.

Third, from now on, each theater commander can carry out limited orbital bombing of the planet on the premise of obtaining the consent of the Galactic Parliament. If the war situation is urgent, Speaker Palpatine can also exercise emergency ruling power and directly authorize

Orbital bombing.

Afterwards, Speaker Sheev Palpatine had an interview with the new leader of the Jedi Order, Master Mace Windu, and once again reiterated the Republic's full support for the Jedi Order, saying that victory or defeat is a common occurrence in military affairs, and this failure was not

It will not affect the parliament's evaluation of the Jedi Knights, who are still the pillars of the Republic. At the same time, he said with tears that he hoped to see Master Yoda return again one day.

Then Palpatine and Mace Windu issued a joint statement, once again emphasizing the brutality of the Separatists and their atrocities in provoking wars and causing the death of countless families. They also stated very sternly that the Republic will definitely maintain the security of the galaxy.

Fight for unity, fight for ultimate peace, and never give up until we achieve our goal.

The war machine of the entire galaxy is running faster and faster, and more galaxies are beginning to be involved in the war. And in order to maintain the exponential increase in military strength, the Republic has begun a new round of tax increases, which has made the people who joined the galaxies

The burden becomes heavier and heavier.

Representatives of those powerful planets went to the tax officials with pockets of money, and then told the officials about their poverty with tears in their eyes. Afterwards, they shook hands with the officials with tacit smiles.

And an agreement was reached…

As for the existence of super capitals such as the Kuat Planet, the Corellia Sector, and the Rendili Planet, they just kicked the tax officials out with a kick in the nose, while those officials nodded and bowed in flattery.

Well, the kick was accurate and it was great. I will continue to get kicked next time if I am lucky enough...

On the other hand, some planets that were unable to pay bribes were facing yet another exorbitant taxation. The security forces of the Republic drove those old warships to show off their power in the Central Sector, going from galaxy to galaxy to collect high taxes and took away a ship

A boatload of wealth left only wailing and starving people all over the land...

As for the outer ring, those officials who collect taxes dare not go there because it is now ruled by the separatists, that is, the Confederation of Independent Systems.

But is the Confederation of Independent Systems really a paradise, does it really represent freedom and justice, and represents the cry of resistance to exploitation and injustice? No.

After the Battle of the Guardian Planet, this victory inspired the top leaders of the Confederacy, including Count Dooku. In their view, victory in the war was just around the corner. In such madness, when news of the Republic's further military expansion came, they ignored it.

Without hesitation, he chose to continue to expand his army to deal with it.

The Federation of Independent Systems also borrowed 100 billion credit points from the Interstellar Banking Association, and then ordered an additional 10 Rookery Hook-class battleships, 50 million B-1 combat robots, and 300,000 other robots from the Trade Federation. To the Interstellar

Business giants such as the Banking Association, Technology Alliance, and Enterprise Alliance have ordered 100 warships of various types.

There is no doubt that these increased military expenditures have also been directly spread to every participating planet in the Confederation of Independent Systems. The only difference from the Republic is that everyone in the Confederacy has a share, because the one who truly controls the Confederacy's voice is

Those business giants, not any planet among them.

The high taxes still burdened the Confederacy's participating planets, but due to dissatisfaction with the Republic and the victory in the Battle of the Guardian Planet, the Confederacy's war enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, temporarily covering up many conflicts.

Business giants led by the Trade Alliance, Interstellar Banking Association, Business Alliance, Technology Alliance, and Enterprise Alliance took the opportunity to request loans from some planets that were unable to pay their taxes, forcing them to borrow money at extremely high interest rates, and moving the planets to

resources, industrial capacity, and even population as collateral. Through this method, these business giants turned a large number of star systems into their goods dumping ground and raw material supply place.

Now the war operations of the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the Outer Rim Sector have begun to go very smoothly. The Confederacy's troops have occupied planets one after another. But it is not the same as the freedom and justice they preach. Everywhere those robot armies go,

Burning, killing, looting, and even the slightest resistance, the entire city would be taken away as slaves. Sometimes the commanders of the business giants would just massacre the city if they were in a bad mood!

What the Confederate troops did was as good as the Japanese. The true nature of the business giants was exposed. They did not participate in the war to promote justice for the Confederacy, but for wealth! More wealth!

! They built battleships, robots, and commanders for the Confederacy. Although the Confederacy also paid for these, they were still extremely arrogant because they were the only supplier to the Confederacy.

In order to pull these greedy businessmen onto his chariot, Count Dooku had to give them great rights, because only in this way can the Confederation of Independent Systems be able to compete with the Kuat Power Shipyard and Lundilli Interstellar Power Company.

, Sina Fleet Technology, and the Galactic Republic against these terrifying industrial giants in the Corellian sector.

Fortunately, this war disaster that spread throughout the galaxy has not fallen on Tang Yu yet. Although the guardian planet has just experienced a large-scale battle, after the battle, Tang Yu discovered that,

Everything around me has changed.

Newt Gunlay, the governor of the Trade Alliance, San Hill, the governor of the Interstellar Banking Association, and Walter Tambor, the governor of the Technology Alliance, all took the initiative to contact Tang Yu, and their tone was humble and shameless.

.

Indeed, although the Guardian Planet has just suffered from the flames of war, everyone knows that Tang Yu has found the Blade Fleet. A total of 200 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers have made the Guardian Planet's fleet the strongest in the Federation of Independent Systems.

.

And in the battle that just happened, the army of the Guardian Planet actually confronted the Republic's elite Thirteenth Army head-on without the support of battleships, and actually defeated the Thirteenth Army!

You must know that in previous wars, the Confederacy's robot army was always the one that was beaten when faced with clone soldiers!
