1090. The war advances
Dawn Star Planet was the first to speak, taking advantage of the war zone changes brought about by the series of battles Eriadu system, and placed the industrial planet Celestia under its own jurisdiction, Western Reaches war zone.
Salust has long wanted to hug Dawn Star Planet's thick, furry legs. After all, compared to Merchant Guilds who is far away from Felucia, Dawn Star Planet, who is stronger and closer, is obviously a better choice.
And what is more realistic is that once the Eriadu system war comes to an end and Dawn Star Planet wins, then the Eriadu reconstruction work that has been turned into a mess will definitely bear the brunt of the Salust side.
This is an order to rebuild a planet! Salust has already been salivating.
Then Fourth Group took another bite and nibbled on Sothropp Corporation.
The arms dealer Sothropp Corporation, who started from Salust, also hit it off immediately. He signed strategic cooperation agreements with Fourth Group and Trade Federation respectively, becoming a cooperative company of the two, and joining Trade Federation.
What I want to say here is that Trade Federation, Technological Alliance, Corporate Alliance, Merchant Guilds, these are all Mega-Trusts and are not composed of one company. Therefore, joining Trade Federation does not mean becoming a subordinate of Trade Federation, but becoming a franchise member.
In fact, Fourth Group also has this meaning now. Its large enterprises such as Tyran Heavy Industries, Hiigaran Aerospace Group, United Mining Group have united to become Fourth Group.
Of course, the biggest difference is that Fourth Group's biggest boss is Tang Xiao itself, which is equivalent to a semi-state-owned enterprise among Fourth Civilization.
Under the intentional guidance and connivance of Tang Xiao, Fourth Group is gradually becoming a giant Trusts.
The companies under Fourth Group have one thing in common, that is, they all rely on the technology in the mothership database to make their fortunes.
Then Quarren Isolation League claimed Freedom Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps, and Confederacy of Independent Systems's largest battleship manufacturing group returned to the hands of Quarren. Although they are still an organization not recognized by the Dak Planet government on the surface, in fact, Dak Planet is already conducting trade with Confederacy of Independent Systems through them.
This is how the order for 500 sets of super-pressure hulls sent to them by Dawn Star Planet came from. Now that Freedom Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps has been recovered, the strength of Quarren Isolation League has begun to further expand.
Forge World Kastel was invested and acquired by the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Association chairman San Hill exempted all the slaves on Kastel, and then established a new political system for them through formal investment management.
The Kastel uprising is an uprising, but they will soon have to face the current situation of financial collapse, material shortages, and industrial, people's livelihood, and agricultural systems that are completely unscientific and abnormally developed. Therefore, even if ten thousand people are unwilling, they must accept the acquisition of the InterGalactic Banking Clan.
And because this planet is no longer under the control of Merchant Guilds, InterGalactic Banking Clan just pays some symbolic hosting fees to Merchant Guilds.
In addition, Merchant Guilds many other industries, as long as turmoil and uprising break out, will be immediately acquired by those corporate giants at a low price on the grounds that they have lost control.
In the end, this forced Merchant Guilds to stop the poison pill operation, admit defeat, and surrender all of his fleet, so that he could retain his last bit of assets.
In this direct Merchant Guilds storm, the Confederacy of Independent Systems military reform was also quietly implemented.
This loose Confederacy of Independent Systems, which had no intention of surviving for more than 5 years from the beginning, finally began to integrate and save itself. With the further regularization and refinement of the administrative system and the further unification of the military industrial system, Confederacy of Independent Systems's industrial capabilities and administrative efficiency will be greatly improved after going through pains.
At this time, in other parts of this chaotic galaxy, the war still continues.
21BBY, July 25th.
Battle of the Delon system finally ended, Confederacy of Independent Systems fleet failed miserably.
In this battle, more than 300 large warships sent by Confederacy of Independent Systems were completely defenseless against Delon system's well-prepared defense line. After several battles, most of them were lost, and less than 20 warships were able to evacuate.
This is almost equivalent to more than half of Confederacy of Independent Systems's mobile fleet!
It should be noted that in fact, both warring parties began to complete the design and finalization of those thousand-meter-level warships and then began construction at most one year before the war began. The only exception was Generous-class frigate.
Only Fourth Civilization started preparing for war very early, so it had the power of 200 kilometer-class warships at that time. But at the same time, because the industrial volume is too small, this number was quickly surpassed by Galactic Republic.
Therefore, most of the fleets of both sides were actually built from scratch, and coupled with the losses from constant battles, the number of large battleships Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems has never been large. In the original plot, Galactic Republic built more than 3,000 Hunter Class Battlecruisers during the entire three-year war, but in fact, at the end of the war, only about 1,000 Hunter Classs were still preserved.
Later, Galactic Empire's so-called 26,000-ship Imperial-class Star Destroyer super fleet, this is their accumulation of more than 40 years.
Therefore, in the battle of Delon system, Confederacy of Independent Systems directly handed over 300 large battleships. This was a complete loss!
After Battle of the Delon system ended, Chancellor of the Galactic Republic Sheev-Palpatine immediately announced to the public that they would launch a full counterattack against Separatists!
Galactic Republic's huge fleet attacked everywhere, starting from several fleet assembly points, and first launched a counterattack against Mid Rim.
At this moment, Confederacy of Independent Systems is completely unable to stop their progress.
After General Grievous ended Kamino's raid, he returned to command the entire Confederacy of Independent Systems military force. He concentrated the remaining small fleet on defense at a few important locations, mainly to delay time and prevent Galactic Republic from advancing too fast and being pushed to the core before the fleet of new warships was formed.
At the same time, Galactic Republic Army finally began to land on several Separatists controlled planets of Mid Rim Territories that were no longer protected by battleships.
However, a large number of robot legions have been deployed on these planets. Although the planetary government immediately expressed its willingness to surrender and return to Galactic Republic, the planetary government was also immediately defeated by the robot legion.
Subsequently, these robots launched a resistance war.
Anyone who dares to stand in front of them, whether it is Galactic Republic Army or a local civilian on the planet, will be shot to death!
