Chapter 393: The Birth of A Main Battleship
Planet Dawn, Planet Sy Myrth and Planet Yag'Dhul signed a secret agreement to establish a Freemasonry Alliance, with Tang Xiao, the Governor of Planet Dawn, 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 Givin nor the Sy Myrthians 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 Count Dooku, not only not 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, Freemasonry began a series of extensive collaborations.
They first established a secret team, with Givin 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. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
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.
While the Freemasonry Alliance is operating in secret, the Fourth Civilization still hasn't stopped in Coruscant's Senate of the Republic.
In the eyes of outsiders, since Sheev Palpatine was elected as the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, Francis Underwood attacked Palpatine like crazy, regardless of their previous good relationship.
On the Senate floor, Francis Underwood has been attacking Supreme 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 Region as an example, saying that Palpatine has continued the wrong policy of Finis Valorum and that taxation in the Outer Rim Star Region 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.
Not only that, but Francis also began to strongly support the Senator Ainlee Teem of Planet Malastare. After Teem lost to Palpatine in the election, he was not convinced. He attributed his failure to the betrayal of the member of Planet Ryloth, Orn Free Taa, so he hit it off with Francis.
Francis, ostensibly headed by Senator Teem, used his influence to win over other Senators, mainly the former Ring Faction Senators.
In this way, after several months of unremitting efforts, some of the Ring Faction members who were previously torn apart because of Orn Free Taa's defection are now beginning to reunite in part. They are headed by Francis and Teem, claiming to be the New Ring Faction, seem to have formed a powerful political force.
