1969, Chiss territory's choice
Prime Minister of the Cabinet Helmut-Zemo walked into Tang Xiao's office, handed over a document very respectfully, and said, "Grand Duke, Second Exploration Fleet, Brent has already received a reply."
"Ah, it seems that they have already taken care of Chiss." A mocking smile appeared on Tang Xiao's lips, "If my guess is correct, Chiss has already started to mess up."
"It's true. We can get Chiss faster than we thought..." The smile on Helmut-Zemo's face was also full of sarcasm. "Those Chiss who boasted of being extraordinary couldn't wait to hand over Brent that night, and then they used various infighting methods among themselves. It was simply ugly."
"It's expected. Chiss is an oligarchy with a family as its core and has no natural enemies, so it naturally focuses on internal fighting." Tang Xiao leaned on the backrest and sneered, "Sefrans-Tann, and Mis-Ro-Nurudo, these two are top-notch super geniuses even within the scope of the galaxy. Such people will be expelled due to the struggle between their major families, so you can imagine what it is like inside Chiss territory."
He looked at the portable terminal in his hand and had no interest in carefully checking the recorded content. He threw it on the table and said, "You can report directly what agreements we have signed with Chiss territory."
Helmut-Zemo walked to Tang Xiao, bowed down and said at the right speed, "The first is the construction of the star gate. We provide Chiss territory with goods worth 2.5 billion Currency Number Four, of which the technical blueprint is priced at 1.27 billion, and the remaining 1.23 billion is for rare metals. Chiss territory provides us with a construction team of 5,000 people and supporting engineering spacecraft. They will provide all non-core materials for the construction of the star gate. The estimated completion time is 7 standard months."
"So slow?" Tang Xiao frowned, "We only spent two standard months on Levik planet's star gate, right?"
"That's because Lieutenant General He Ru has occupied the industrial core of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, which is equivalent to Ssi-ruuvi Imperium's nationwide efforts to build it. At the same time, Pia'ek people has also sent more than 200,000 workers to assist in the advancement of the project." Zemo said, "In comparison, although Chiss's construction Engineering Corps team is much more advanced, the scale is still too small. The reason they gave is that they themselves are also facing a serious labor shortage problem."
Tang Xiao smiled coldly, "Chiss still has reservations. They are still afraid that we will steal the show. That's all. They just need to feel at ease and become our agents in Unknown Regions. Don't worry about anything else. After the star gate is repaired, knock it if necessary."
Zemo smiled and nodded, "I will start making arrangements immediately. In addition, the technical blueprint selected by Chiss mainly includes ecological simulation farm, Gen 2 synth, and bionic chip. And in the Caldari Republic we provided Among's battleships, they chose Merlin-class frigate (Merlin-class), Heron-class electronic warfare frigate (Heron-class), and Cormorant-class destroyer (Cormorant-class)."
Tang Xiao said, "Their choice is very smart. These technologies are not particularly high-precision technologies, but they can just make up for their current shortcomings."
Zemo smiled and said, "Indeed. Chiss's talents in all aspects are still very professional. Lieutenant General Brent's report also mentioned that their representatives struggled for a long time with the Phoenix-class battleship we deliberately put on, and their eyes almost fell off. In the end, they still chose those small battleships with tears in their eyes."
(The Phoenix class with a long axis of 3826 meters belongs to the battleship class according to the Fourth Civilization classification, not the dreadnought class in "EVE".)
"If my judgment is correct, the value of these technologies is far more than 1.27 billion Currency Number Four." Tang Xiao's voice turned cold.
Zemo quickly said, "Lieutenant General Brent also mentioned that Cormorant-class destroyer's technical blueprint was privately provided to Csapla family as a political donation. And this generous gift also made Csapla family very fond of us... Of course, this gift is semi-public - although it is concealed, every other family knows it."
Tang Xiao's cold expression softened, "Smart choice. He did not choose Chaf family who wanted to come from behind, but Csapla family who was in a stable position. It seems that he let Brent be this Commander is also a representative of the mission. Chaf family can only be used as a knife, but he is not suitable for being a dog. Of course, Csapla family is not suitable for being a dog. They can only be used as a transition..."
Zemo showed a sly and gloomy smile, "The real choice of being a dog is currently determined to be Sabosen family. This needs to be taken slowly over the long term. Lieutenant General Brent has already started making arrangements according to your great strategy."
He was not surprised that although Tang Xiao didn't read much information about Chiss territory, he was very aware of this phenomenon among several major families of Chiss. In his opinion, this was due to Tang Xiao's power to see through everything. Because since waking up from the mothership 20 years ago to now, Tang Xiao has demonstrated its power to know the future countless times.
Zemo continued, "In addition to technical exchanges, Chiss territory has also signed a series of intentional trade and economic cooperation agreements with us. These agreements will take effect after the stargate is completed. Their main needs are agricultural products and electronic automation products. One party On the one hand, the robot technology in Chiss is not developed. On the other hand, due to the instability of the hyperspace channel, large-scale exploration and expansion are impossible, making the planets suitable for the development of agriculture in Chiss territory very precious and rare, so their demand for agricultural technology is also very large."
"None of this matters, just let Brent take care of it." Tang Xiao waved his hand.
"Then, Joint Operations Command was established. The commander-in-chief of this headquarters is Admiral Ziyala from Chiss. She is a member of Illyz family. Therefore, we also deliberately alienated Illyz family according to the plan." Zemo said, "After the star gate is completed, We will investigate and purify the planets infested by Gal-Mongolian Gal provided by Chiss one by one, and believe that we can get closer to the core of Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal. And Nuruodo family, who is in charge of the military, is very interested in this planet."
Tang Xiao said slowly, "Chiss's military strategy is based on defense. They stipulate that their fleet must not become the offensive party first, and have formulated a series of laws for this purpose. This is why The basic strategy of generals from the Chiss Military Academy is to strike later, including Sefrans-Tann. But there is only one exception to this defensive strategy-Meng Gal-Meng Gal."
Zemo nodded, "That's true. Only when facing Mongar-Mongar can the Chiss fleet be in an offensive posture. As a family in charge of the military, all of their merits and strength should be based on offense... But that series of defensive regulations has become a chain around their necks... They are eager to use the chisel of Mongar-Mongar to cut off this chain. And the joint combat headquarters established with us is the hammer that beats this chisel."
"Satisfy them." Tang Xiao closed his eyes, waved his hand to indicate that it was enough, and signaled Zemo to leave.
Zemo bowed and walked backwards.
During the entire reporting process, he did not open the information, but kept it all in his mind like a treasure trove. And in the process, his report was not just based on the script, but also added a lot of his own understanding. This makes Tang Xiao very comfortable.
Maybe in the eyes of many other people, Helmut-Zemo is a sycophant, but to Tang Xiao, it is an existence that makes him feel very comfortable and convenient.
In this seemingly peaceful process, the future of Chiss territory has gradually begun to be bound by Duchy of Dawn.
For Duchy of Dawn, this is an expansion and an invasion, but for Chiss territory, they have no choice. The existence of the Star Gate is not just a convenient travel tool, it is a technology that can change the future of countless races and civilizations!
Galactic Republic, who does not have stargate technology, can only look at Unknown Regions and sigh helplessly. Even if they can organize a large-scale exploration operation, it will be of no avail - because they have no ability to bring anything back from here, and they have no ability to maintain their power here.
But Duchy of Dawn, who owns the Star Gate, is able to bring Unknown Regions into his sphere of influence step by step. This is the power of Star Gate!
Among the races and civilizations among Unknown Regions, even the most powerful Chiss, their sphere of influence is limited by hyperspace turbulence, and the range they can radiate cannot be compared with the outside world that can freely use hyperspace channels. As long as the traffic problem can be solved, outside forces can easily make several rounds here.
And from the moment the Star Gate began to be built, Unknown Regions was already destined to be Duchy of Dawn's bag!

A Hutt was arranging his clothes under the service of more than a dozen female slaves. The gorgeous and expensive clothes covered his pale and smooth skin, making him show a softness and morbidity that was different from other Hutts.
Yes, as a race born from the swamp, Hutt's skin is rough and wrinkled, and it is mainly dark green, brown and other colors similar to swamps.
However, this Hutt, although he is still as pot-bellied, bloated and clumsy as other Hutt, his skin is white and has no wrinkles. By Hutt's standards, this look is disgusting.
However, disgusting is disgusting, even among the powerful Hutt, there are almost no people who dare to laugh at his appearance.
Because this white Hutt is the leader of the Goresla Family (Gorensla family), the third most powerful family among the countless families of Hutt, Oruba (Ourba)!!
Among Hutt, the undisputed largest and second largest families are naturally Desilijic kajidic and Besadi kajidic. Although Goresla Family is also a family with a very long history, it has only been in recent years that they have truly become a force that can influence the situation of Hutt Space.
The struggle between Hutt's largest family, Desilijic kajidic, and the second largest family, Besadi kajidic, has lasted for nearly 20 years.
Of course, Hutt is, after all, a race that relies on smuggling and crime, and most of the struggles between these criminal families are at the business level. Except for the large-scale armed conflict that broke out in Tatooine between Hutt Jabba of Desilijic kajidic and Hutt Gaddula of Besadi kajidic, in the past 20 years, although conflicts between Desilijic kajidic and Besadi kajidic have continued, they have not risen to the level of war.
Most of their struggles involve competition for territory, destruction of business, plundering of smuggling channels, etc. Although it is equally brutal and bloody, the scale is still limited.
However, starting from the large-scale conflict at Tatooine, the fuse of the family conflict that was ignited finally burned the core interests of the two families. The two families originally had very sharp conflicts, and they became even more irreconcilable after the conflict between Jabba and Gaddula.
Coupled with the outbreak of Clone Wars, Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, in order to win the support of Hutt so that their fleets can navigate in Hutt Space, have also put their power deep into Hutt Space to find their respective agents.
However, at the beginning, Kiliak, the leader of Desilijic kajidic, and Aruba, the leader of Besadi kajidic, actually limited the penetration of external forces very well. Even the nail that Fourth Civilization drove into Hutt Space very early - Calamity Legion, was also excluded.
But at this time, the enemy still appeared inside.
Over there, Desilijic kajidic, Jabba's uncle, Hutt Ziro got Desilijic kajidic, the supreme leader, Jabba and others' father— —The support of Zorba, and after Zorba was assassinated, he took over as the leader of Desilijic kajidic, which caused Desilijic kajidic to begin to fall into division.
At the same time, Ziro seemed to be going crazy, using the power of Desilijic kajidic she controlled to launch a crazy attack on Besadi kajidic!
On the other side, although Besadi kajidic has become more and more powerful under the management of Aruk, Hutt Gaddula also has a strong influence. Facing the crazy attack of Desilijic kajidic Ziro, Gaddula was also out of control and responded in a very extreme and violent way.
Under the influence of these two people, the dispute between Desilijic kajidic and Besadi kajidic began to gradually get out of control.
At this time, Oruba, the leader of the Goresla Family, took the opportunity to rise. Using Terminus Planet as his base, he began to expand his power crazily.
