2369, Lost Empire
"They were confident that they could defeat Galactic Republic from the beginning? Why?" Taremi couldn't believe it either.
"Just because they are, the forgotten the Empire." Thrawn put his hands behind his back, came to the porthole and looked at the vast galaxy outside the window, and said lightly.
"The forgotten the Empire?" Taremi has never heard of this description.
Thrawn smiled lightly and said, "You started to develop from the core of the Milky Way. Most of the time, you rarely encounter such civilizations. However, in 'Chaos', there are many such existences. For example, Kilik Swarm, such as Rakatan... They once dominated the Milky Way, but then declined rapidly, but no matter what, they also retained some of the essence of their former civilizations."
"I know...Infinite Empire, Rakatan. Many of their Relics have been found in the galaxy, but almost all of them are of little value. Apart from studying their past culture." Taremi said.
"However, Fourth Civilization is different. They almost certainly retained a lot of heritage, especially technology." Thrawn said, "They have successfully fought against galaxy-level natural disasters three times. No matter how tragic the final price is, after all, they are Success. The legacy they carry is probably not trivial to have survived such an intense war. This is why they have been able to defeat Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire. There is a technological gap between you and them."
"I think this matter is already a consensus..." Taremi shook his head with a wry smile.
"No, I think you don't know enough about this matter. Well, including myself, I think I need to learn more about them..." Thrawn said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, more failures will be waiting for us."
"..." Taremi also fell silent.
"This universe is so vast, Colonel Taremi. It's so vast that even with all the strength of our lives, we can't glimpse the truth of even the tip of the iceberg." Thrawn's eyes became deep, "Among 'Chaos', there are Countless races. This place is not the paradise of the Creator. This is the prison of God. Rakatan? Haha, they are just a group of refugees who have been blocked here by the gods in the past. They are all evil, powerful, and weird..."
He took a deep breath, "In our Chiss territory database, there is a category called the 'Legendary Race'. This includes Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal known as God of Decay, Grysk who has the ability to control minds, Korlok who has the ability to illusion... and, what is the legend? Dark Nest that retains some of the genes of Kilik Swarm in its heyday. There are even many sighting reports of Mechanical Lifeforms that are up to 10,000 meters long... These are all races that can be called legendary. The Qidian of each individual race may be the end that other races strive for throughout their lives."
"Didn't Dawn Star Planet say that they eliminated Meng Gal-Meng Gal?" Taremi said.
"If Dawn Star Planet really has the legacy that is enough to fight against the galactic natural disaster, then it is not surprising that they destroyed Meng Gal-Meng Gal, but this does not mean that Galactic Empire It can be done. Because Dawn Star Planet, who has such a legacy, is originally at the level of these legendary races, or even higher... In other words, they should have been a member of this 'Cage of Gods'," Thrawn said.
There seemed to be a strange light in his eyes at this moment.
Taremi was silent for a while, feeling that this topic should not be continued. Because if you continue talking, then I might even want to surrender...
He looked at the direction of the holographic star map and said, "Let's go back to the original topic, General. I think it is very dangerous for our fleet to stay here."
"I know." Thrawn said.
"But..."
"We have stored a lot of supplies and maintenance machinery here. It is impossible to take them away, so we can only make the best use of them and try our best to use the remaining supplies here to rest our fleet. Moreover, many of our warships need to be repaired. At this time, wasting time on transfer will delay more time." Thrawn said.
"But what should we do if they find us?" Taremi asked.
"This is inevitable, but it is not the point." Thrawn's expression darkened, "If we want to continue fighting in Chiss territory for a long time, then I need to confirm some things next."
"Are we in a good situation now? The Empire will ship another 30 Imperial-class Star Destroyer and 40 Vigil-class corvette within a week at the latest. Our strength will be further enhanced! By then, coupled with the local resistance of Chiss territory, we will be completely You can overthrow the current government of Chiss territory, establish a new regime, and form an alliance with the Galactic Empire!" Taremi's eyes lit up, "Didn't Governor Dunn also say that you will be the ruler of Chiss territory?"
As a soldier, there is no greater temptation than now, following a famous general to make achievements.
But Thrawn just smiled unpredictably and said as if he didn't answer the question, "Chiss territory's former family politics should have been completely eradicated long ago. It was just a stumbling block that hindered the development of civilization. It was ignorant, ignorant, and arrogant. Now, it's not a bad idea to let Kingdom of Dawn clean it up."
"General?"
"As long as the Star Gate is still there, Chiss territory will always be subverted, but not controlled. It's useless. What we are doing now is just to hold back Kingdom of Dawn." Thrawn said lightly.
As they were talking, an encrypted communication suddenly came over.
Thrawn looked at this communication and frowned. He handed the encrypted communicator to Taremi, "You pick it up."
When the communication was connected, the greasy face of Formbi appeared. It seemed that because Thrawn had just won a big victory, he looked increasingly oily. "Ah, it's Taremi Chief of Staff. Is General Thrawn here?"
Formbi looks extremely flattering.
"If the matter is important, I will convey it to you. Just tell me." Taremi replied coldly.
"Hehe... That's it, that's it. I've got the news, that bitch Ziyala, she has been demoted, ha..."
"Watch your words! Minister Feng Bi!" Thrawn suddenly interrupted him sharply, "General Chiara has been in the army for 40 years! Guarding the border for the Chiss for 20 years, and training talents for the Naval Academy for 20 years! You have no qualifications to humiliate such a great general who has dedicated his life to the Chiss! Even if she has surrendered to the Dawn Planet now, she is not comparable to someone like you!"
