1598. Greedy
"Conditions?" Lila-Blythex raised his eyelids, feeling funny in his heart.
You must know that not long ago, Onana-Kuat specially called her to the central hall of Kuat and made a show of force to show her, but now, he is begging her in turn.
"What conditions do I dare to put forward? Just do your best for Kuat Drive Yards." Lila said sarcastically.
"We are on the same ship now!" Onana-Kuat slammed his hands on the table and leaned towards the screen, "Don't forget, the battleships currently fighting on the front line are also battleships designed by you! Once Kuat Drive Yards is discredited, will you be able to stand alone? Now that you have proposed the Executor-class Star Destroyer plan, can anyone else in the galaxy give it to you for the hundreds of billions of design and construction costs?"
"So I don't have any conditions." Lila-Blythex said calmly, "If this battle succeeds, it will be good for both of us, right? My fiancé Dunn-Vesex has agreed to meet you, so there is no need to come to me. Hyperspace Stabilizer, I will complete it on time."
She is emphasizing the word fiancé, which is actually emphasizing her own status that is different from the past.
"Very good, I will talk to Governor Dunn." Onana-Kuat's face was a little gloomy, but he still nodded and said a few polite words before closing the communication.
After the communication was closed, she immediately cursed, "Lila, you bitch! Bastard!"
Conditions? In fact, the more Lila says she has no conditions at this time, the more she is acting like a hooligan. The price has actually been paid, and this is Hyperspace Stabilizer.
Don't look at Lila-Blythex's nice words, that she will finish the work on schedule... but in fact this is the latest achievement of Kuat Drive Yards's hyperspace research department, and has nothing to do with her Lila! She just came here to supervise a job and take a job, and then she quietly took the credit for Hyperspace Stabilizer.
For this battle with an uncertain future, the invention and construction of Hyperspace Stabilizer itself is a guarantee to maintain the lower limit. Even if the battle fails, with this credit in hand, at least he will not be blamed too much.
Therefore, the acquiescence to leave this project to Lila is actually the condition given by Onana-Kuat.
But even so, Lila still needs no conditions one by one. Is this considered hooliganism? This has two meanings. First, the conditions you gave are not enough. Second, you can't give me the conditions I want.
The more polite Lila is, the more disgusting Onana-Kuat feels. To put it bluntly, Hyperspace Stabilizer handed over such a big project to Lila-Blythex, but all it got in exchange was an opportunity to negotiate with Dunn-Vesex!
On other occasions, the funds involved in this project would have been at least 50 billion credit points! Now, the signature rights of this project are handed over to Lila. For Lila, money is secondary, and it is impossible to give all the proceeds from this project to her. But the reputation it brings is a great benefit.
Onana-Kuat At this time, they can only go to Dunn-Vesex to negotiate conditions with Sector Governor, who is deeply trusted by Chancellor Palpatine, in order to obtain permission from the military to let them participate in this Modell Sector Campaign.
But to her expectation, Dunn-Vesex was actually very easy to talk to. He easily agreed to Onana-Kuat's request, and there were not many conditions.
The first is an investment in the planet Palin-Minor. To put it bluntly, it is a bribe of money. For this, Onana-Kuat and Dunn didn't even discuss the amount. They all knew what the approximate number was most appropriate. Generally, it is several hundred million credit points. For Onana, money is not a problem.
The second is to give Ninth Army a separate battleship order. This thing is actually quite normal. Almost all Sector Governor will order some warships separately to expand their strength. After all, they hold the tax revenue of an entire legion, so it is very easy to purchase some warships. This is equivalent to a private soldier.
By the way, not only Sector Governor, but many powerful planets will also order some warships individually. It's just that the strength of a single planet is limited, and what is generally purchased are second-hand warships or small and medium-sized warships. These battleships are the origin of the local defense fleet.
Therefore, Chancellor of the Republic Sheev-Palpatine nationalized the local defense fleet before. In fact, it was not as simple as integrating the army, but directly taking away the warships that the planets bought with their own money! This is no different from stealing.
The third condition is a bit more subtle. Dunn-Vesex said that due to political position issues, he could not openly take on the responsibility for this battle. He asked Onana-Kuat not to involve him and Ninth Army in the process of this battle. Of course, if the campaign is a success, Ninth Army will not jump out to grab the credit.
This condition, on the surface, seems to have been put forward by Dunn-Vesex to protect himself. Just like if you are looking for connections to do things now, then the connections you are looking for will naturally hope that you can handle the matter quietly, preferably without anyone else knowing about it.
Onana-Kuat Although it feels a little strange, she doesn't have many choices now. So, she agreed.
Dunn-Vesex was not polite. He told Onana-Kuat that the authorization for Supreme Strategic Command would be issued tomorrow. And he will also arrange for some retired elderly officers and some top students from the military academy to go to Quat Planet in their own name to provide support for this campaign.
While Onana-Kuat was overjoyed that she had achieved her goal, she did not see the sneer on the corner of Dunn-Vesex's lips.
Yes, if you think about it carefully, you will find that this third condition is the most dangerous one!
On the surface, this condition is that Dunn-Vesex picks himself out, but in fact, through Lila-Blythex, he can also enjoy the fruits of victory in the battle. And Onana-Kuat has to take the responsibility for this battle. Once something goes wrong, she will be the one to bear the wrath of Galactic Republic!
And by that time, Lila-Blythex may even go one step further! Although she does not have the reputation to become Kuat of Kuat, it is entirely possible to become a pivotal presence among Kuat Drive Yards! By that time, she would even have the confidence to influence Kuat Drive Yards's decision-making!
That's right! Of this pair of men and women, one said there were no conditions and the other said just give them some money, but in fact their conditions were greedier than anyone else's!
What they want is Kuat Drive Yards!
