The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

853. Next stage

For the arrangement of Otto Gunther Octavius, or to use his other more eloquent name-Dr. Octopus, Tang Xiao doesn't have much pertinence at the moment.

In fact, the awakening of a character at the legendary level has a lot of randomness, because he doesn't know who is awakening at all, so he can only watch it after awakening.

For example, what Ling Liang needs is that his forces have a complete range of arms, a total force 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. Philosophy leans toward militarism (JGZY).

The condition of Dr. Octopus is that the research level of the engineering, basic physics, energy, and electronic automation of the power he belongs to has reached a certain level, and he has the ability to build a super-large controllable environment experimental base and a picometer-level industrial machine, and the leader of the power tends to be extreme.

Tang Xiao's last condition for Dr. Octopus was full of tongue-twisting. In fact, thinking about it carefully, Ling Liang's last condition was also very biased. So, that is to say, characters at the legendary level actually have requirements for the inclination of leaders and forces.

No wonder it is so... If it is a peaceful farming force, then Ling Liang cannot be awakened. As for Doctor Octopus, Tang Xiao can only understand that the power of his dark side is attractive to such a villain. Otherwise, just looking at the previous requirements, it would not be surprising if you said that Tony Stark would come here instead.

But for this, Tang Xiao doesn't care. Dr. Octopus can be regarded as a very powerful scientist, and his achievements in engineering and energy have also reached a considerable level. He is very much looking forward to what Dr. Octopus can bring him after he thoroughly understands the technology of the fourth civilization.

He didn't give Dr. Octopus any practical subjects, because now all the scientific research projects of the Fourth Civilization have teams working on them, inserting a person out of thin air, even if this person is Doctor Octopus, it can only be a side effect, not to mention that he is not What an easy person to be with.

So Tang Xiao allocated an experimental base and more than a dozen scientific researchers for Dr. Octopus, and then gave him 1 billion credits of funds, and then waited for him to make a fuss on his own.

The main reason is that Tang Xiao was also unprepared for the awakening of Doctor Octopus. This is different from the previous master level and legendary level. When you wake up a person, it is often because of a need for this. And when the legendary level awakened, they didn't even know who this person was, so naturally they wouldn't prepare a suitable project and wait here.

These two legendary figures did not delay Tang Xiao's planned plan. In the next few days, Tang Xiao led an envoy to the administrative center of the Confederacy of the Independent Galaxy on the Lasax sub-planet, and attended the meeting of Earl Dooku. Hosted a grand celebration banquet.

Speaking of which, he has attended the same celebration banquet many times.

After the outbreak of the war, although there were occasional minor setbacks and defeats, the Confederation of Independent Galaxies was still victorious on all fronts. At least three-quarters of the outer ring sector had fallen into the Confederation of Independent Galaxies in the control.

In addition, because of the Hutt Space, the Hutt Desilijic and the Besardi family are playing lively, so the Confederation of Independent Galaxy can also secretly mix some fleets in the past, and it can be regarded as the establishment of the southern and eastern borders of the Milky Way. Links between war zones.

So the current battle situation is much better than the original plot development.

After this celebration banquet, the twelve administrative core members of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies and General Grievous, the supreme military commander, gathered again to discuss the next phase of the battle plan (if you want to review the political composition of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, you can go back to See Chapter 508).

Earl Dooku formally proposed the policy of fully marching towards the central ring of the galaxy. He demanded that the current war zones of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies must digest the existing occupied areas as soon as possible, and then free up as many fleets as possible to attack the central ring star area in an all-round way.

For this proposal, Shu Mai, the leader of the commercial guild, Walter Tamber, the foreman of the Technology Union, and Milaj Sintel, the queen of the planet Ziglia, naturally strongly support it, and Newt Gunley, the governor of the Trade Union, is hesitant. After a while, Tang Xiao didn't get a prompt, so he also expressed his support.

These few are supported, mostly because their parent star or basic disk is within the middle ring of the Milky Way. For example, the headquarters of the Trade Union is on the planet Balmora-Neimoidia in the core circle, and the headquarters of the Technology Union is also on the planet Skako in the core circle.

But some other people are not very interested in this. Although Planet Semiles is in the Central Ring, their location has been included in the confederation's control area, which is very safe. The headquarters of the Fourth Group and the Interstellar Banking Association are on the planet Mygeeto, which is also located in the Outer Rim star region, so they naturally don't want to take such a huge risk.

General Grievous, out of military considerations, finally raised his objection cautiously.

It is indeed a huge military adventure to attack the central star region of the galaxy in an all-round way. Because the middle ring star area is no different from the outer ring, many planets have relatively independent industrial systems, which means that attacking these planets will inevitably pay a huge price.

Not only that, because the planets in the Central star region are stronger, although the exploitation they endure is also very serious, but at least it is not to the point where they cannot survive, and even if there is an invasion of interstellar pirates, these planets are still capable of fighting back. In other words, they don't have too much resistance to the fact that the Galactic Republic only knows to collect taxes but never provides assistance. Moreover, although the Republic Judicial Fleet never pays attention to the outer ring, it still occasionally visits the central ring. Circled.

This reduced the support for Earl Dooku's separatist ideology in the Central Ring. Without such a public opinion base, the price to be paid for forcibly occupying a planet might be even more unbearable.

Especially for the distorted economic and military structure of the current Confederation of Independent Galaxies, once the war falls into a quagmire, it is likely to be the first to collapse internally.

As I said before, the war method of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies can be called an "oligarch proxy war", that is, those super companies will replace the major alliance planets of the Confederation to fight this war.

The corporate giants provide the fleet, provide the robots, and take care of everything in the war, while the other joining planets only need to pay money and resources.

And this burden is very heavy, almost hollowing out the entirety of those planets.

There is nothing in front of those debt-ridden planets, except the ideals that Count Dooku talked about with them, and the empty promise of defeating the Galactic Republic to gain freedom.

What do they gain by defeating the Galactic Republic? There are no guarantees for anyone.
