401. Grievous's surrender
"Are you still staring at Caladan Planet and those Yamrii?" San-Hir said with a sneer, "A mere Caladan Planet is nothing compared to the fate that is about to be handed over to you."
[I must return Caladan Planet! The sooner I destroy those Huks, the less damage will be done to Caladan Planets! Everything is still recoverable!]Grievous roared.
"Of course I can let you go back. But I must remind you that the blood transfused into your body will still be effective for 4 hours. After 4 hours, you will die worthless. As a general and a demigod, you will die in this humiliating Bacta tank." San-Ciel said.
[I am a glorious warrior!]
"So you should be lucky, because Geonosians happens to have the latest bionic mechanical project, and you are the perfect experimental subject. And you, great general, this will allow you to return to the battlefield!" Thorn-Hill said.
[But I am already a useless person, so what's the use of going to the battlefield?]
"Oh, that's the charm of this technology. We can guarantee to give you a state-of-the-art mechanical body and appendages that can replace this heavy life-support device. Moreover, it will also give you power far beyond Jedi Knight!" San-Ciel opened his hands and said loudly.
He seemed to be intoxicated with his own longing, and continued, "Why did the tragedy of Caladan Planet happen? In the final analysis, the culprit of everything is Galactic Republic! And you will lead the way Lead the largest robot army in history, sweep across Galactic Republic, and bring a new order to this galaxy! After that, you will be free and become the greatest hero of the galaxy... and return home."
[What you call New Order means nothing to me.]
Thorn Hill's expression became ferocious, "If this is the case, maybe you will face a humiliating death..."
Grievous was silent, and Tang Xiao also understood that in fact, if Caladan Planet and Yamrii were not involved, he was actually very flexible, otherwise he would not have resolutely joined InterGalactic Banking Clan as a collection agent in order to get rid of Caladan Planet's fine debt.
So Tang Xiao said, "Do you still remember me? Grievous."
[I can't see your face from my perspective, but I remember your voice. You helped us.]
"You must understand one thing, Grievous. What we have handed over to you is not just an army, but the power of life and death. In fact, you should think about why the tragedy of Caladan Planet happened? Isn't it because of Yamrii's bribery and Galactic Republic's Officials? Why can Galactic Republic officials sit in the office and decide the fate of hundreds of millions of Caladanian? Because they have the power given to them by Galactic Republic. "Do you understand what I mean?" Tang Xiao asked calmly.
Grievous fell silent again.
"Think about it, Grievous. This is the last chance for you and Caladan Planet." Tang Xiao dropped this sentence and turned around before adding, "But no matter what, I will continue to provide assistance to Caladan Planet. Next week, I will visit Caladan Planet in person."
Next, Tang Xiao did not continue to stay here. He left Geonosis and returned to Dawn Star Planet. Soon after, Thorn-Hill also sent a message, saying that Grievous had accepted their request and the renovation work would begin soon. After the transformation is completed, Count Dooku will personally train Grievous and turn him into a truly terrifying killing machine.
But Tang Xiao's focus is no longer here, because he has further consolidated his relationship with General Grievous, which is very important in future work together.
What he really needs to pay attention to now is Dawn Star Planet's own preparation process. During this period of time, Engineering Science Department continued to produce results, and many times Tang Xiao also needed to pay attention to it in person.
Because the team established by Hego at the Givin completed the analysis of Ragnarok-class Titan warship, allowing them to master more than 70% of the technology of Trader Emergency Coalition, many types of spacecraft have also entered the stage of production and construction, and what is needed now is more choices.
The main reason is that there are still many spaceships in Trader Emergency Coalition that are not practical at present. After all, among the three races in "Sins of a Solar Empire", Trader Emergency Coalition's fleet is indeed at the bottom in terms of overall strength, so it cannot waste its precious production capacity on some irrelevant aspects.
Trader Emergency Coalition's spaceship is mainly to cope with the next Clone Wars, and in the course of this war, Galactic Republic's military technology will make a leap from scratch.
After Rusan Reforms, Galactic Republic has stagnated in military technology for a thousand years, but this does not mean that their technology has stopped advancing. On the contrary, in other aspects of technology, Galactic Republic is still developing by leaps and bounds.
Clone Wars is an opportunity to plunge Galactic Republic into war again, and they will also start learning how to fight again - including military tactics, officer training, warship design, logistics support, etc. The main battleship has evolved from the unlikeable Hunter Class Battlecruiser to the terrifying war weapons Imperial-class and Victory-class Star Destroyer. This is a clear development process.
Therefore, in the Clone Wars period, the Trader Emergency Coalition battleships could still compete with the Hunter Class Battlecruiser of Galactic Republic, but in the later stages of the war and even later in the Galactic Empire period, they were completely insufficient.
After determining Kohl-class Battlecruiser as the main battleship in the next 10 years, Fourth Civilization Navy also needs to find more suitable other types of battleships as auxiliary for its fleet - such as aircraft carriers.
Trader Emergency Coalition does have an aircraft carrier - Sova-class Carrier (Sova-class Carrier), which is 1,400 meters long and can carry 400 Wraith fighter. Its performance is quite satisfactory for a large aircraft carrier of this scale.
However, the other two members of the Cooperative Alliance, the Givin and Semirians, are not very interested in this kind of aircraft carrier. They believe that this large spacecraft, whose main purpose is to carry fighter planes, is easily attacked by the enemy and will pay the price due to its weak defense. You must know that once one Sova-class Carrier is destroyed, the loss of a large warship also means the loss of 400 Wraith fighters. This is really a big loss.
Tang Xiao finally used his identity as Cooperative Alliance Executive Officer to pass the aircraft carrier project. However, because Cooperative Alliance's current strength is still limited, the project was temporarily postponed to three years later, with the first batch of orders for 20 ships.
