1544. Kuat Drive Yards's internal fighting
"Opportunity? What opportunity?" After hearing Onana-Kuat's words, Little Kuat frowned and asked.
From what he knew about his aunt, it was usually not a good thing if every conversation started like this.
In fact, he knew some inside stories about Kuat Drive Yards. At least one thing he understood was that his aunt, who seemed to be aloof, was actually not that stable under her buttocks.
This is why she puts on airs in front of Lila-Blythex, and why she cares so much about what happened recently.
In fact, it is just the design of Star Destroyer, how could it be put online to the point where the survival of Kuat is affected. Making her feel that her position is threatened is the biggest problem.
"As far as I know, Republic Supreme Strategic Command is preparing to launch a second round of offensive against Modell Sector of Separatists. This is our opportunity." Onana-Kuat said.
Little Kuat was shocked, "Are we going to interfere in the military's operations?! This is a taboo!"
"I have already conducted an investigation. The technologies of Dawn Star Planet must be foreign! It is impossible for them to develop them one by one step by step!" Onana-Kuat said, "Although there are many obstacles, I have investigated a lot of information. In fact, even some Dawn Star Planet locals have legends that they come from another galaxy."
"But this is not the reason for us to intervene in military operations!" Little Kuat looked solemn. "The most important reason why we, Kuat family, have been able to reach this point as a rising star is that we have a very clear definition of what we can do. And among the countless restricted areas, the military is something we must not touch."
"I don't need you to remind me of Kuat's tradition!" Onana-Kuat raised his voice, "Haven't you figured out the key to the matter? Now Sheev-Palpatine is also eyeing Dawn Star Planet! He has his own intelligence agency, and he must know better than us that the incredible technologies of Dawn Star Planet and Tang Xiao were definitely not developed by himself! Don't you know what Dawn Star Planet was like 15 years ago?"
"This should be something Republic military should consider. We are only responsible for building warships." Little Kuat stood up suddenly and confronted his aunt, completely ignoring that he was currently doing the following.
"No! This should be considered by us!" Onana-Kuat said loudly, "If Galactic Republic gets the technical reserves of Dawn Star Planet, then they can create the second Kuat, the third Kuat, and the fourth Kuat! And by then, what is the value of our existence!?"
"This matter has obviously crossed the line. Please go back." Little Kuat said, "At least, we should discuss it with Congressman Giddean Danu."
But as soon as he said those words, he immediately regretted them.
Gideon Danu, he is Council Representative assigned to Republic Senate by Quat Planet, but at the same time, he is also the political enemy of Onana-Kuat.
This enemy is not the hostility that replaced it, but the difference in philosophy between the two sides.
Although Gideon Danu was single-handedly supported by Onana-Kuat, but unlike the original situation where he just thought this person was honest and easy to control, Gideon Danu was actually an ambitious person with a very open-minded and kind-hearted outlook.
Onana-Kuat are actually the same as the previous Kuat of Kuat, they are all the typical Core Worlds aristocrats: luxury, corruption, corruption and glitz are synonymous with people like them.
But Gideon Danu is completely different. He is more consistent with Jedi Order. He sympathizes with Jedi Order, the poor people, and even sympathizes with those Outer Rim backward planets. It was precisely because of his efforts that some of Kuat Drive Yards's behaviors at the end of Galactic Republic were not so extreme.
Otherwise, with the personalities and demeanor of Onana-Kuat, Kuat Drive Yards's reputation in the galaxy may now be similar to that of Trade Federation, both of whom are like street rats.
It's just that Onana-Kuat not only doesn't appreciate it, but instead regards Gideon Danu as his biggest threat. She felt that Gideon Danu was confronting her on almost every issue. She wanted taxes, she wanted slaves, she wanted plunder, she wanted monopolies, but Danu stood in his way every time.
This makes Onana-Kuat unbearable.
In fact, Gideon Danu can indeed become a threat to Onana-Kuat, because as a member of Quat Planet, what he says represents the entire Kuat. And not only that, he is also very close to the members of the Padmé-Amidala and Bail-Organa factions.
Once he exerts pressure from the parliament, Onana-Kuat's position may really be shaken.
Because no matter what, Kuat Drive Yards is still just an industrial enterprise among Galactic Republic, and Galactic Republic is their heaven.
Sure enough, when she heard the name Gideon Danu, Onana-Kuat became even more angry. She said loudly, "Congressman Danu has nothing to do with this matter! All he cares about is his position as a congressman. He has never thought about us Kuat! In short, it has been determined We, Kuat Drive Yards, will participate in this military operation of Modell Sector! Even if we use battleships, we will completely defeat Dawn Star Planet! The technology of their battleships should belong to us Kuat!"
Speaking of this, there was even a hint of madness in her eyes.
"If you insist on doing this, then this will be the beginning of the end for us Kuat Drive Yards!" Little Kuat stood up and turned away without looking back.
"Get out! Get out!" Onana-Kuat was already furious.
Lila-Blythex looked at the situation at the scene, his eyes flickered, and he began to make constant calculations in his mind. She saluted Onana-Kuat and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I will continue to serve Kuat wholeheartedly and design a battleship that is no less powerful than Separatists."
Onana-Kuat no longer wanted to hear this. She just waved her hand and told Lila to get out of here.
Lila-Blythex returned to her luxurious residence. After letting all the servants go away, the mansion seemed a little empty, which made her recall the years she had spent with her father.
She strolled to a room in the center of the mansion. The room was filled with models of various parts and components, as well as several powerful hosts. After turning on several holographic projections, people could almost immediately feel like they were inside the battleship she designed.
But these things have become a thing of the past...
After her father left, she had not set foot here for a long time. Even when designing and researching battleships, she mostly carried out her own powerful design team in the laboratory specially equipped for her by Kuat Drive Yards.
But... this is not enough... this is far from enough!
She had already begun to have a strong hunch that the battleship she designed could never be Separatists's opponent! Even if Eclipse-class's plan is brought out now, it will not really turn the situation around.
After pondering for a long time, she connected to a frequency band - Willix-Blythex.
