615. Testing
"... You did a great job this time, Yuri." Tang Xiao said lightly.
"This is just business, Mr. Governor." Yuri-Orlov in the holographic projection took a puff of cigar and said, "Anakin wanted weapons, and he achieved his goal. Obi-Wan wanted mercenaries, and he got them. Jedi Knight wanted to attack Tull Planet. I wanted to make money, and I got it. As for what you did in the middle, it was not part of the business."
"I know that I can always trust you in this regard." Tang Xiao said.
"Of course, I also broke my own principles. To be honest, there are many mercenaries who want to take over Tull Planet's job, but I still recommended Titan Security according to your request. So, can we talk about the reward?" Yuri said.
"What do you want, tell me." Tang Xiao smiled slightly.
"I... want Vitaly." Yuri thought about it and put forward a condition.
"Vitaly? Your brother?" Tang Xiao frowned, "Indeed, he has disappeared since the outbreak of Cerean civil war."
"He has joined an anti-war organization and is lobbying those planets to leave the war and remain neutral. As far as I know, this is very dangerous. I hope you can bring him back." Yuri said.
"Where is he?"
"I don't know."
"I can't make a promise to you, Yuri. I will let people from the Intelligence Department search for him, but whether he is willing to come back depends on his wishes, unless you plan to kidnap him."
Yuri-Orlov took a long puff of cigar and said in a deep voice, "He is my brother."
Tang Xiao looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, so be it."
The next day, Tang Xiao had arrived at the other end of the galaxy where Raxus Secundus and Confederacy Parliament were located.
Grand Elder Jacinda represents Selurite and appears among Confederacy Parliament, officially announcing the existence of Selurite. She provided the Confederacy of Independent Systems government with Selurite's DNA characteristics, lifestyle, language and other data, which will be officially entered into the Confederacy of Independent Systems large database.
At the same time, the planet Cave-Bill is also recorded as Homeworld of Selurite. Their origin is claimed in the data to be from Unknown Regions. Gnoll was also reported as a vassal race of Selurite, but because it is a vassal, it does not have independent administrative power.
After that, Selurite Muira was officially sworn in as a member of Confederacy of Independent Systems, and settled in Raxus Secundus with his delegation.
The emergence of Selurite also brought a lot of shock to the political arena of Confederacy of Independent Systems, not least because of the two Enforcer-class heavy destroyers brought by the delegation.
This kind of warship, which is completely different from the existing warship style in the galaxy, reflects very strong racial characteristics. In fact, even Selurite himself is very satisfied with the warship style of the Amarr Empire. This shows that Selurite, a newly added race, has its own warship manufacturing system.
Not only that, the length of 266 meters also shows that the scale of their industrial system is definitely not small.
You must know that the manufacturing of warships includes a series of fields such as materials science, aeronautics, electronics, fuel science, etc., including almost all of a society. Races that can independently build warships are all races with considerable strength in scientific research and industry.
This alone actually surpasses at least 90% of the races in Confederacy of Independent Systems.
The addition of such a 'high-end' race naturally injected more vitality into Confederacy of Independent Systems's parliament, and of course attracted a lot of attention.
Merchant Guilds, Corporate Alliance and other corporate giants extended an olive branch to Selurite, especially Technological Alliance. Their big foreman Watto-Tambo offered 50 million credits to buy a Enforcer-class heavy destroyer on the spot, but was rejected.
But Trade Federation and InterGalactic Banking Clan did not show too much excitement because they got the hint from Das-Malthael.
After the meeting, Count Dooku personally came to find Tang Xiao, invited him to his private reception room, and after chatting for a while, said, "Your Majesty the Governor, Selurite should be the race discovered by your Unknown Regions exploration plan a few years ago, right? That is, when Sefrans-General Tann came here."
Tang Xiao smiled and nodded, and said, "I did have an expedition team that explored Unknown Regions, and they helped Selurite find the hyperspace channel away from Unknown Regions. Therefore, Selurite does have a good relationship with us."
Count Dooku nodded, but unlike Watto-Tambo, he didn't pay much attention to Selurite. Instead, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "I saw Archangel of Death."
Tang Xiao was slightly shocked, and then his expression became a little fanatical, "Did you see him? Lord Archangel of Death?"
Count Dooku carefully observed Tang Xiao's expression and said, "Yes, his strength and wisdom left a deep impression on me."
"Yes, Lord Archangel of Death is indeed the most powerful person I have ever seen." Tang Xiao said, "He also wants to establish a new order in this galaxy, and his ideals are consistent with yours. If we join forces with him, we will definitely achieve our goal!"
Count Dooku's expression turned serious, and he asked, "So, what do you think of the relationship between this Archangel of Death and me?"
"I don't quite understand what you mean, Count Dooku."
"During this meeting, he wanted to kill me." Count Dooku said.
A puzzled expression appeared on Tang Xiao's face at the right time, "I was skeptical about your theory at first. It was only after I met him that I strengthened my belief. That's why I was willing to join Confederacy of Independent Systems. Shouldn't he want to kill you?"
Count Dooku's expression began to become a little angry, and he said slowly, "If one day, Archangel of Death and I have a conflict, what choice will you make?"
The expression on Tang Xiao's face gradually turned into a somewhat unpredictable smile, "I fight for New Order of the Milky Way. If you and Archangel of Death have a conflict, it only means that one of you two has deviated from this path. Dawn Star Planet will choose this entire galaxy with great determination."
Count Dooku suddenly relaxed. He smiled and changed the subject, "Actually, I came to you today to make a merciless request." His expression changed very quickly, as if the oppressive atmosphere just now had never existed.
"Please speak." Tang Xiao said.
"Sefrans-General Tann is the only genius general I have ever seen in my life. I hope to transfer her to Confederacy of Independent Systems's High Command and lead a larger fleet to fight. I wonder if you are willing?" Count Dooku said with a smile, "I believe that she can become Galactic Republic's nightmare together with General Grievous."
But Tang Xiao refused without thinking, "General Tann was attacked by a Jedi Knight in the previous battle and was seriously injured. Therefore, she needs a period of recovery, both physically and mentally, and the war zone I am in also needs her command very much."
Count Dooku nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I won't force others to do anything. One more thing, I have already researched and copied Extractor's technology, and built a Extractor secret production base in Krant Planet (Krant). I hope that General Tann will take charge of this project."
