853. Next stage
As for the arrangement of Alto Gunther Octavius, or to use his other more impressive name - Doctor Octopus, Tang Xiao currently doesn't have much relevance.
In fact, the awakening of Legendary Class's character is very random, because he doesn't know who is awakened at all, and can only watch after awakening.
For example, the conditions required by Ling Liang are that the force has a complete range of arms, a total strength of more than 1 million, and a certain degree of mechanization. At the same time, the army is built with the personnel of the Yanhuang Empire in "Command and Conquer: Generals" as the core, and the national philosophy is inclined to militarism (JGZY).
The conditions for Doctor Octopus are that the force's research level in engineering, basic physics, energy science, and electronic automation has reached a certain level, it has the ability to build a super-large controlled environment experimental base and a picometer-level industrial machine, and the leader of the force tends to be extreme.
At that time, Tang Xiao was stunned by the last condition of Doctor Octopus. In fact, thinking about it carefully, the last condition of Ling Liang also has a strong tendency. Therefore, this means that the characters of Legendary Class actually have requirements for the tendencies of leaders and forces.
No wonder... If it is a peaceful farming force, then Ling Liang cannot be awakened. As for Doctor Octopus, Tang Xiao can only understand that Dark Side Force is attractive to such a villain. Otherwise, just looking at the previous requirements, it wouldn't be surprising if you say that Tony-Stark comes over.
But for this, Tang Xiao doesn't matter. Doctor Octopus is also a very powerful scientist. His achievements in engineering and energy science have also reached a considerable level. He is very much looking forward to what Doctor Octopus can bring to him after thoroughly understanding the technology of Fourth Civilization.
He did not give Doctor Octopus any actual topics, because now all Fourth Civilization's scientific research projects are being done by teams. Inserting a person out of thin air, even if this person is Doctor Octopus, can only be a side effect, not to mention that he is not an easy person to deal with.
So Tang Xiao allocated an experimental base and more than a dozen scientific researchers to Doctor Octopus, and then gave him 1 billion credit points, and then waited for him to do it on his own.
The main reason is that Tang Xiao is also unprepared for the awakening of Doctor Octopus. This is different from the previous Master Class and Legendary Class. When you wake up a person, it is often because of this need. When Legendary Class woke up, he didn't know who this person was, so naturally he wouldn't prepare a suitable project waiting here.
These two Legendary Class characters did not delay Tang Xiao's planned plan. In the next few days, Tang Xiao led an envoy to Laxus Sub-planet's Confederacy of Independent Systems administrative center and participated in a grand celebration banquet hosted by Count Dooku.
Speaking of which, he has attended the same celebration banquet many times.
After the war broke out, although Confederacy of Independent Systems occasionally had some minor setbacks and losses, in general it was still victorious on all fronts. At least three-quarters of Outer Rim Territories had fallen into the control of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
In addition, because Hutt Space, Hutt Desilijic and Besadi kajidic are fighting lively now, Confederacy of Independent Systems can also sneak some fleets there, which can be regarded as establishing a connection between the two war zones Southern Galaxy and Eastern Territory.
So the current battle situation is much better than the original plot development.
After this celebration banquet, the twelve administrative cores of Confederacy of Independent Systems and Supreme Military Commander General Grievous gathered together again to discuss the next stage of the battle plan (if you want to review the political composition of Confederacy of Independent Systems, you can go back and read Chapter 508).
Count Dooku officially proposed the policy of all-out march to Mid Rim. He required Confederacy of Independent Systems's current war zones to digest the existing occupied areas as soon as possible, and then free up as many fleets as possible to fully attack Mid Rim Territories.
For this proposal, Merchant Guilds leader Shu-Mai, Technological Alliance big foreman Watto-Tambo and Zyggeria Queen Mira Ji Xintel naturally supported it strongly. Trade Federation Governor Newt Gunray hesitated for a while, but did not get the prompt from Tang Xiao, so he also expressed his support.
Most of these support are because their home planet or basic base is within Mid Rim. For example, the headquarters of Trade Federation is at Balmorra-Neimoidia in Core Worlds, and the headquarters of the Technological Alliance is also at Skako in Core Worlds.
But some other people are not very interested in this. Although Semirres Planet is in Mid Rim, their location has been included in the control range of Confederacy of Independent Systems, which is very safe. Fourth Group and InterGalactic Banking Clan are headquartered in Makito, which is also located in Outer Rim Territories. Naturally, they do not want to take such a huge adventure.
General Grievous, on the other hand, cautiously raised objections due to military considerations.
A full-scale attack on Mid Rim Territories is truly a huge military adventure. Because Mid Rim Territories is no better than Outer Rim, many Draon Planet have relatively independent industrial systems, which means that attacking these planets will inevitably pay a huge price.
Not only that, because Mid Rim Territories's planets are stronger, although the exploitation they endure is also very serious, at least it is not to the point where they cannot survive, and even if there is an invasion by interstellar pirates, these planets are capable of fighting back. In other words, their resistance to the fact that Galactic Republic only collects taxes but never provides assistance is not too great. And although Republic Judicial Fleet never pays attention to Outer Rim, they still occasionally visit Mid Rim.
This makes Count Dooku's Separatists ideas receive much less support from Mid Rim. Without such a public opinion foundation, the price of occupying a planet may be even more unbearable.
Especially for the current distorted economic and military structure of Confederacy of Independent Systems, once the war falls into a quagmire, it is likely to collapse internally first.
As mentioned before, Confederacy of Independent Systems's war method can be called 'Oligarch Proxy War', that is, those Mega-corporations will fight this war instead of Confederacy of Independent Systems's major participating planets.
The corporate giants provide fleets, provide robots, and take care of everything in the war, while other participating planets only need to provide money and resources.
And this burden is so heavy that it almost hollows out those planets.
There is nothing in front of those debt-ridden planets, except the ideals Count Dooku talked about with them, and a blank check to defeat Galactic Republic to gain freedom.
What can they get after defeating Galactic Republic? There are no guarantees to anyone.
