1599. The army is ready
A large number of spaceships flew out from the huge industrial Star Ring on Quat Planet. Just a rough count, the number is even calculated in tens of thousands!
Even for Kuat Drive Yards, which is currently at its peak, the dispatch of a spacecraft of this scale is unprecedented.
There are battleships that have just come off the production line, supply ships loaded with various supplies, and a large number of transport ships filled with combat robots.
A single planet can have such a grand occasion, and there are less than ten planets in the entire galaxy that can do it. And don't forget, most of the other planets that can reach such a magnitude are because of their large populations, such as Coruscant with a population of one trillion, Rendili with a population of 600 billion, Nal Hutta with a population of 100 billion, etc. With a huge population base, there are a lot of spaceships coming and going around these planets. This is not surprising...
And Quat Planet has a population of only 3 billion! To maintain the lives of these 3 billion people, it doesn't take too many spaceships, and the tens of thousands of spaceships taking off from here now are purely a reflection of their planet's industrial strength!
In Kuat Industrial Ring, a luxuriously decorated building in the administrative district, stood a young man with a feminine appearance, dressed in rich clothes, a tall hat, and exaggerated earrings on his ears.
Kuat Drive Yards's senior executive, Onana-Kuat's nephew, Little Kuat.
At this moment, he looked at the countless spaceships flying out of the window, his eyes filled with coldness.
"When my aunt sat on this card table, she had already lost." Little Kuat said coldly.
Behind him, four people stood respectfully, all of whom were core management members who held high positions in Kuat Drive Yards.
"Indeed, Onana-Kuat shouldn't be a gamble. Even if the performance of our warships cannot be compared with Dawn Star Planet, the worst thing we can do is take a step back for the time being and let other companies join in. Whoever can join will do it. There is really no need to fight to the end like this." One of the old men said.
"If we lose this bet, Kuat Drive Yards will suffer heavy losses, and we will not be able to suppress the rise of other companies." Another old man said.
Little Kuat still looked at the sky and the engine fires like stars in the sky, and said, "From the perspective of Kuat Drive Yards, it is true. But from the perspective of Onana-Kuat From E's point of view, if she fails in the battleship performance competition with Dawn Star Planet, she will come to an end. Therefore, she is betting for herself, not for Kuat Drive Yards."
"This is even more unacceptable!" said another.
"Get ready. Make arrangements. I will go meet with Gideon Danu to discuss the next step." Little Kuat turned back and looked at those people, "Kuat Drive Yards cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. Whether it is Galactic Republic... or anyone else..."
"You mean... Lila-Blythex and Dunn-Vesex?" said the old man who spoke first.
Little Kuat picked up a glass of wine, took a sip very elegantly, and said, "They did plan a lot, but if they were not stupid, they would not have taken that last step on their own. Cooperating with me is their only choice... and for me, as long as I can get an order from the military, whether this order is because of the excellent performance of the battleship, or because she has climbed to the top of Galactic Republic's political core..."
"But... your step seems to have positioned us too low..." The old man sighed, "Kuat Drive Yards We have put in countless efforts to get to where we are today. Do we still have to rely on the relationship of an outsider in the end?"
Little Kuat smiled. He didn't speak. He just put the unfinished wine glass in the old man's hand and walked out.
This inexplicable action made the old man a little confused. He held the wine glass and didn't know what to do for a while. I don't dare to drink it, I don't dare to throw it away, and I can't find a place to put it...
Waiting for Little Kuat to walk out, the middle-aged man next to him said, "At the peak, if you step back, the only one who can see this level is Little Kuat. Our biggest threat is always Galactic Republic, not Dawn Star Planet..."
As he spoke, he flicked the half-filled wine glass, making a crisp sound, "Look, isn't this us?"
Several people retreated, leaving only the old man who was still meditating.
Three days later, the unmanned galaxy T6652U7X8849L.
Unlike a few days ago when there were transport ships and engineering ships everywhere, at this moment, an extremely large fleet has begun to assemble in the galaxy!
This fleet is very large in number, with more than 150 thousand-meter battleships alone! And this number keeps increasing!
Countless transport ships are busy going back and forth between these battleships, delivering large amounts of supplies into the battleships. The fleet is making final preparations for combat.
In a huge space station, the leader of Kuat Drive Yards, Onana-Kuat, has arrived in person. She and Lila-Blythex are standing together to discuss this battle.
On the surface, the two of them seemed to be in harmony and happy.
At this time, the door of the command center opened. First, two teams of well-trained soldiers trotted in, lined up on both sides, stood upright and saluted, and shouted in unison, "General Tagge is here!"
Onana-Kuat and Lila-Blythex turned back to look at the door, only to see four people walking in surrounded by soldiers.
Two of them were wearing black robes, one was tall and strong, the other was short and fat, but their faces could not be seen clearly under the cover of the hood.
The leader, wearing the Republic General uniform, is about 30 years old and looks very young, but the badge on his uniform shows that his military rank is already lieutenant general!
To become a lieutenant general at this age, one must have great connections, extraordinary abilities and just the right opportunity.
In fact, Cassio-Tagge (Cassio Tagge) does have all these conditions.
He is a member of the wealthy Core Worlds family in the galaxy, Tagge family, and owns the powerful Tagge Company, a company mainly focused on mining. At the same time, he is also a close friend of the Governor of the Ninth Army Dunn-Vesex.
And the other Halo in him is Republic Military Academy's top student, who ranks first in the current period with an absolute advantage, and has the title of tactical genius.
In this military operation, Supreme Strategic Command, under the influence of Dunn-Vesex, agreed to let Kuat Drive Yards implement the plan. However, in this way, generals cannot be directly dispatched from the military to take command, so finding someone from the military academy became the best solution.
Therefore, Cassio-Tagge, with many connections and Halo, was temporarily appointed as lieutenant general and became the commander-in-chief of this operation.
