The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1969. Chisling’s choice

Helmut Zemo, the chief minister of the cabinet, walked into Tang Xiao's office, handed over a document very respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, the Second Exploration Fleet, Brent has already received a reply."

"Ah, it seems that they have already taken care of the Chiss." Tang Xiao's mouth showed a somewhat mocking smile, "If my guess is correct, the Chiss have already started to mess up."

"That's true. We can defeat the Chiss faster than we thought..." The smile on Helmut Zemo's face was also mocking, "Those Chiss who pride themselves on being extraordinary couldn't wait to take down the Chiss that night. Brent confessed, and then all kinds of infighting methods between them emerged one after another, which was simply ugly."

"It's something to be expected. The Chiss are an oligarchy with family as the core, and they have no natural enemies, so they naturally focus on internal fighting." Tang Xiao leaned on the backrest and sneered: "Severance - Tann, and Mis-ro-Nurudo, these two are top-notch super geniuses even within the scope of the Milky Way. Such people will be destroyed because of the struggles between their major families. Expelled, you can imagine what it’s like inside Chis Territory.”

He looked at the portable terminal in his hand and had no interest in checking the recorded content in detail. He threw it on the table and said, "You can report directly what agreements we have signed with Qisling."

Helmut Zemo walked to Tang Xiao's side, bowed down and said at the right speed: "The first is the construction of the Star Gate. We provide Qisling with goods worth 2.5 billion No. 4 currency, of which the technical blueprint is priced at 12.7 billion, and the remaining 1.23 billion are rare metals. Chisling provides us with a construction team of 5,000 people and supporting engineering spacecraft. They provide all non-core materials for the construction of the star gate. The estimated completion time of the project is, 7 Standard month.”

"So slow?" Tang Xiao frowned, "We only spent two standard months on the star gate on Levik planet, right?"

"That's because Lieutenant General He Ru occupied the industrial core of the Xilu Empire, which was equivalent to the entire Xilu Empire's construction efforts. At the same time, the Piaik people also sent more than 200,000 workers to assist in the advancement of the project." Zemo said , "In comparison, although the Chisi construction engineering team is much more advanced, it is still too small in scale. The reason they gave is that they themselves are also facing a serious labor shortage problem."

Tang Xiao smiled coldly, "The Chisi people still have reservations. They are still afraid that we will usurp the guest. That's all. They just need to feel at ease and become our agents in the unknown star field. Don't worry about anything else. After the star gate is repaired, Hit it if necessary.”

Zemo smiled and nodded, "I'll start making arrangements immediately. In addition, the technical blueprints chosen by the Chiss mainly include ecological simulation farms, second-generation synthetic humans, and bionic chips. Among the Caldari Republic's warships we provided , they chose the Kitty Hawk-class frigate (Merlin-class), the Heron-class electronic warfare frigate (Heron-class), and the Petrel-class destroyer (Cormorant-class).”

Tang Xiao said: "Their choice is very smart. These technologies are not particularly sophisticated, but they can just make up for their current shortcomings."

Zemo smiled and said: "Indeed. The Chiss people are still very professional in all aspects. Lieutenant General Brent also mentioned in his report that their representatives were entangled in the Phoenix-class battleship we deliberately put on board. For a long time, my eyes almost fell off. In the end, I still chose those types of small battleships with tears in my eyes."

(The Phoenix class with a long axis of 3826 meters belongs to the battleship class according to the classification of the Fourth Civilization, not the dreadnought class in "EVE".)

"If my judgment is correct, the value of these technologies is far more than 1.27 billion No. 4 currency." Tang Xiao's voice turned cold.

Zemo quickly said: "Lieutenant General Brent also mentioned that the technical blueprint of the Petrel-class destroyer was privately provided to the Cipla family as a political donation. And this generous gift also made Cipla The family is very fond of us... Of course, this gift is semi-public - although it is somewhat concealed, every other family knows about it."

Tang Xiao's cold expression softened, "Smart choice. He did not choose the Chav family who wanted to come from behind, but the Cipla family with a stable position. It seems that letting Brent be the commander and representative of the envoy, He is still very competent. The Chav family can only be used as a knife, but they are not suitable to be a dog. Of course, the Cipla family is not suitable to be a dog. They can only be used as a transition..."

Zemo showed a sly and gloomy smile, "The real choice to be a dog is currently determined to be the Saberson family. This needs to be taken slowly and in the long term. Lieutenant General Brent has already begun to make arrangements based on your great strategy. "

He was not surprised that although Tang Xiao didn't read much information about the Chiss Territory, he was very aware of this phenomenon of several major families of the Chiss. In his opinion, this was due to Tang Xiao's power to see through everything. Because since he woke up from the mothership 20 years ago, Tang Xiao has demonstrated his power to know the future countless times.

Zemo continued: "In addition to technical exchanges, Chisling 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 demand is agricultural products. , as well as electronic automation products. On the one hand, the Chiss’ robotic technology is not developed. On the other hand, due to the instability of the hyperspace lanes, large-scale exploration and expansion cannot be carried out, leaving the Chiss territory suitable for the development of agriculture. They are all very precious and rare, so their demand for agricultural technology is also very high.”

"None of this matters, just let Brent figure it out." Tang Xiao waved his hand.

"Then, the Joint Operations Command was established. The commander-in-chief of this command was Admiral Chiara of the Chiss people. She is a member of the Yilizi family. Therefore, we also deliberately alienated Yili according to the plan. Zemo said, "After the construction of the star gate is completed, we will investigate and purify the Mongar-Mongar infested planets provided by the Chiss one by one. We believe that we can get closer to Mongar-Mongar step by step. The core. And the Nurudo family, which is in charge of the military, is very interested in this planet."

Tang Xiao said slowly: "The military strategy of the Chiss is to focus on defense. They stipulate that their fleet must not be the first to attack, and they have formulated a series of laws for this purpose. This is why the Chiss Military Academy The basic strategy of the generals who came out was to strike later, including Severance Tann. But there is only one exception to this defensive strategy - Mongar Mongar."

Zemo nodded, "Indeed. Only when facing Mongar Mongar can the Chiss fleet be in an offensive posture. As a family in charge of the military, the Nurudo family should have established all their achievements and strength. On offense... But that series of defensive doctrines has become a chain around their necks... They are eager to use the chisel of Mongar-Mongal to cut off this chain. And the joint operations we have established The headquarters is the hammer that strikes the 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 made Tang Xiao very comfortable.

Perhaps in the eyes of many other people, Helmut Zemo was a sycophant, but to Tang Xiao, he was an existence that made him feel very comfortable and convenient.

In this seemingly peaceful process, the future of Qisi Territory has gradually begun to be bound by the Principality of Dawn.

For the Dawn Principality, this was an expansion and an invasion, but for the Qisi Territory, they had 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!

The Galactic Republic without stargate technology can only sigh helplessly as it looks at the unknown star field. 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.

However, the Principality of Dawn, which owns the Star Gate, is able to gradually bring the unknown star field into its sphere of influence step by step. This is the power of Star Gate!

The races and civilizations in the unknown star field, even the most powerful Chiss, have their sphere of influence limited by hyperspace turbulence, and the range they can radiate cannot be compared to 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, the Unknown Star Territory was already destined to be in the possession of the Principality of Dawn!

…

Within the territory of the Principality of Dawn, on the edge of the Sethwenna sector, the planet Terminus.

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 that was different from other Hutts. And morbid.

Yes, as a race born from the swamp, the Hutt's skin is rough, wrinkled, and mainly dark green, brown and other colors similar to the swamp.

However, this Hutt, although he was still as pot-bellied, bloated and clumsy as the other Hutts, his skin was white and wrinkle-free. By Hutt standards, this look was disgusting.

However, disgusting as it is, even among the powerful Hutts, there are almost no people who dare to laugh at his appearance.

Because this white Hutt is the leader of the Gorensla family, the third most powerful family among the countless Hutt families, Ourba! !

Among the Hutts, the undisputed largest and second largest families are the Desiligic family and the Besadi family. Although the Gorensla family is also a family with a very long history, it is only in recent years that they have truly become a force that can influence the situation in the Hutt space.

The struggle between the largest Hutt family, the Desiligic family, and the second largest family, the Besadi family, has been going on for nearly 20 years.

Of course, the Hutts are a race that relies on smuggling and crime, and most of the struggles between these criminal families are at the business level. In addition to the large-scale armed conflict that broke out on the planet Tatooine between Jabba the Hutt of the Desiligic family and Gadula the Hutt of the Besadi family, in the past 20 years, Desili has Although conflicts between the Ligic family and the Besadi family continued, they did not rise to the level of war.

Most of their struggles involve fighting for territory, destroying business, plundering smuggling channels, etc. Although it is equally cruel and bloody, the scale is still limited.

However, starting from the large-scale conflict on 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 Gadula.

Coupled with the outbreak of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems, in order to win the support of the Hutts and allow their fleets to navigate the Hutt space, also put their forces deep into the Hutt space, looking for their respective agent.

However, in the beginning, Kiliak, the leader of the Desiligic family, and Aruba, the leader of the Besadi family, actually limited the penetration of external forces very well. Even the Scourge Legion, the nail that the Fourth Civilization had penetrated into the Hutt space very early, was also excluded.

But at this time, the enemy still appeared inside.

On the side of the Desiligic family, Jabba's uncle, Ziro the Hutt, was supported by Zorba, the supreme leader of the Desiligic family and the father of Jabba and others, and was assassinated in Zorba After that, he took over as the leader of the Desiligic family, which caused the Desiligic family to fall into division.

At the same time, Ziro seemed to be going crazy, using the power of the Desiligic family she controlled to launch a crazy attack on the Besadi family!

On the other side, although the Besadi family has become more and more powerful under the management of Aruk, Gadula the Hutt also has a strong influence. Facing the crazy attack of Ziro of the Desiligic family, Gadula was also out of control and responded in a very extreme and violent way.

Under the influence of these two people, the dispute between the Desiligic family and the Besadi family began to gradually get out of control.

At this time, Oruba, the leader of the Gorensla family, took the opportunity to rise. Based on the planet Terminus, he began to expand his power crazily. (End of chapter)
