392. The birth of the main battleship
The Dawn Planet, the Semels Planet and the Jiwen people signed a secret agreement to establish a mutual aid alliance, with Tang Xiao, the governor of the Dawn Planet, as the leader.
Because among the three planets, it is Dawn Planet that actually masters the core technology. Population can be produced and factories can be built, but core technology, unless tens of billions or hundreds of billions are invested in this thing, will not make a sound at all.
In addition, Tang Xiao is the advocate, and he also owns the terrifying Titan battleship outside. When he becomes the leader of the alliance, neither the Jiwen people nor the Semires people have anything to say.
After that, the diplomatic and political paces of the three planets began to align.
They began to adopt a distant attitude towards the separatist movement advocated by Count Dooku. They expressed their strong support for his ideas, but they have been unwilling to take any actual actions.
Count Dooku only thought that these planets were going to wait and see because of their own strength, so he didn't think much about it. There are so many planets that he needs to do to lobby, and he doesn't have time to keep an eye on so many planets.
At a time when all the attention of the Republic was attracted by the separatist movement, the Masonic Alliance began to develop a series of extensive cooperation.
They first established a secret team, with Ji Wen as the core, and its members were all senior engineers who had previously participated in analyzing the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship. This project is currently only in the preliminary preparation stage, and the total number of team members is not large, only about 200 people. However, it will be equipped with the most advanced experimental and computing equipment, and a secret experimental site.
Their goal is to launch a new and terrifying project.
The project was classified as top secret, so that all relatives of the entire team were controlled to ensure that no information was leaked. And this project now only has an inexplicable name - Ankylon project.
After that, they concentrated their greatest efforts and began to analyze their future main battleship project-the Kol-class Battleship!
This battleship is the main battleship of the Traders' Emergency Alliance in "Original Sins of a Solar Empire". It is 1,100 meters long. According to the fourth civilization's battleship classification, the battleship's level was downgraded to a battlecruiser.
The Cole-class battlecruiser is a very good battleship, with almost all of its heavy firepower concentrated in the front. At the front end, there are four heavy laser cannons and a large electromagnetic rail gun with a diameter of 40 meters. This rail gun is a semi-axis base gun, and the entire gun is more than 670 meters long.
In addition, the Cole-class battlecruiser also has a complete close-in defense system. There are two quadruple close-in defense laser cannons on the rear and starboard sides, three on the port side, and two more on the top of the front section, which are mainly used for For close defense, it is a twin-mounted medium-sized turbolaser cannon that can pose a sufficient threat to large and medium-sized warships.
In addition, the Cole-class battlecruiser also has a very powerful shield system and extremely strong armor and structure. However, as a sacrifice, the battleship's hangar is not large and can only carry 12 Ghost fighters or 30 Vulture robot fighters. The battleship has a crew of 2,500 people, including 500 Marines.
In general, the Cole-class battlecruiser has powerful firepower and solid defense. It is a very standard large battleship for fleet decisive battles. With a strong energy supply, the four heavy laser cannons and the terrifying 40-meter-caliber electromagnetic rail gun can deal a devastating blow to the opponent's warships.
Not only that, a nuclear bomb launcher for orbital bombing is also installed under the battleship, which can launch a fusion nuclear bomb with an equivalent of 50 million tons and has 60 rounds of ammunition. Basically, if there is no other resistance, this battleship can cause terrible damage to a planet.
The Cole-class battlecruisers will be built by the Semires people. The first batch of orders is 100 ships, including 25 ships from the Dawn planet, 40 ships from the Semires planet, and 35 ships from the Given people. This is also because the planet Semels has a population of up to 10 billion, which is very large and requires more warships to protect itself.
This kind of warship is expected to be analyzed in 3 months, because the main technologies have been overcome during the previous development of the Ragnarov-class Titan warship, including the 40-meter-caliber large-scale electromagnetic railgun in front of the warship, which is also Ragnarov-class. A miniature version of the 500-meter-diameter super electromagnetic gun on the Love-class Titan battleship.
The construction period of these 100 warships is expected to be 10 years. After that, the Mutual Aid Alliance will establish more warship factories, so that the output will gradually increase.
…
While the Masonic Alliance is secretly operating here, at the Republic Council in Coruscant, the pace of the Fourth Civilization has not stopped.
To outsiders, since Sheev Palpatine was elected Speaker of the Republic, Francis Underwood has been attacking Palpatine like crazy, regardless of their previous good relationship.
In the Senate, Francis Underwood has been attacking Speaker Palpatine, saying that he manipulates the election for personal gain and attempts to split the Galactic Republic.
Whenever this happens, Palpatine will retort, saying that you are clearly the one who colluded with a large group of planets to oppose the Republic.
Francis will immediately take the tax policy of the Outer Rim Stars as an issue, saying that Palpatine has continued the wrong policies of Finis Valorum, and that taxing the Outer Rim Stars is the exploitation of these planets.
And Palpatine asked, how can tax collection be a schism? It is obviously a policy that is conducive to the unification of the Republic.
Francis's impassioned speech said that if it is to be conducive to the unification of the Republic, then the Republic's judicial fleet must be courageous to clear out the pirates in the Outer Rim and give the Outer Rim a stable environment. Then the tax policy will naturally will be implemented.
Both sides would argue about this issue for half an hour each time. The most amazing thing was that because they were well prepared and eloquent, even though it was the same topic every time, what they said each time was actually different. Same thing.
Not only that, Francis also began to strongly support Ainle-Tim, a member of the planet Malastar. After Tim lost to Palpatine in the election, he was unconvinced. He attributed his defeat to the betrayal of Orn Free-Tower, a member of the planet Rynos, so he hit it off with Francis.
Francis, ostensibly headed by Councilor Tim, used his influence to vigorously win over other councillors, mainly former ring councillors.
In this way, after several months of unremitting efforts, some of the ring faction members who had been divided due to the defection of Orne-Fry-Ta were now beginning to reunite, led by Francis and Tim. , calling themselves the New Environmental Sect, have formed a powerful political force.
