853. Next stage
Regarding the arrangement of Otto Gunther Octavius, or to use his other more irritating name - Doctor Octopus, Tang Xiao doesn't have much specificity at the moment.
In fact, the awakening of a legendary-level character is very random, because he does not know who is awakened at all, and can only look 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 citizens The philosophy tends to be ****.
The conditions for Dr. Octopus are that the research level of engineering, basic physics, energy science, and electronic automation chemistry of his force reaches a certain level, he has the ability to build a super-large controlled environment experimental base and a picometer-level industrial machine, and he is a leader of the force. Tend to extremes.
At that time, Tang Xiao was stunned by Doctor Octopus's last condition. In fact, if he thought about it carefully, Ling Liang's last condition also had a strong tendency. Therefore, this means that legendary level characters actually have requirements for leaders and power tendencies.
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 his dark side power 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 over instead.
But for this, Tang Xiao didn't care. Doctor Octopus was also a very powerful scientist, and his achievements in engineering and energy science had 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 the fourth civilization.
He didn't give Doctor Octopus any practical tasks, because now all the scientific research projects of the Fourth Civilization 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 What an easy person to deal with.
So Tang Xiao allocated an experimental base and more than a dozen scientific researchers to Dr. 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 was unprepared for Doctor Octopus's awakening. This is different from the previous master level and legendary level. When you wake up a person, it is often because you have this need. When the legendary level awakened, he didn't know who this person was at all, so naturally he 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 a delegation to the administrative center of the Independent System Confederation on the subplanet of Lasax and attended the meeting with Count Dooku. hosted a grand celebration banquet.
Speaking of which, he has attended the same celebration banquet many times.
After the war broke out, although the Confederation of Independent Systems occasionally had some minor setbacks and losses, in general it still won victories on all fronts. At least three-quarters of the outer ring star areas have fallen to the Confederation of Independent Systems. within the control.
In addition, because of the lively fight between the Hutt Desiligic and the Besadi family in the Hutt space, the Federation of Independent Systems can also sneak some fleets there, which can be regarded as establishing the southern and eastern borders of the galaxy. connections between theaters of war.
So the current battle situation is much better than the original plot development.
After this celebration banquet, the twelve administrative cores of the Confederation of Independent Systems and the supreme military commander General Grievous gathered together again to discuss the next phase of the battle plan (if you want to review the political composition of the Confederation of Independent Systems, you can go back See Chapter 508).
Count Dooku formally proposed a policy of comprehensively marching towards the Central Ring of the Galaxy. He required the current war zones of the Independent System Confederation to digest the existing occupied areas as soon as possible, and then free up as many fleets as possible to comprehensively attack the Central Star region.
For this proposal, the leader of the Business Guild Shu Mai, the Technology Alliance Foreman Walter Tambor and the Queen of the Zygrian Planet Miraj Sintel naturally strongly supported this proposal, while the Trade Alliance Governor Newt Gunray hesitated. After a moment, he didn't get any prompt from Tang Xiao, so he also expressed his support.
Most of these are supported because their parent stars or basic disks are within the central ring of the Milky Way. For example, the headquarters of the Trade Federation is on the planet Balmorra-Neimoidia in the core circle, and the headquarters of the Technology Alliance is also on the planet Skakko in the core circle.
But other people were not very interested in this. Although the planet Semels was in the middle ring, their location had been included in the control of the Confederacy and was very safe. The headquarters of the Fourth Group and the Interstellar Banking Association are on the planet Mequito, which is also located in the outer ring star region. 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 the central sector of the Milky Way is truly a huge military adventure. Because the Central Star Region is no better than 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, at least it is not to the point where they cannot survive. Moreover, 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 the Galactic Republic only collects taxes but never provides assistance is not too great. Moreover, although the Republic's judicial fleet never pays attention to the outer ring, it will occasionally go to the middle ring. circle.
This gives Count Dooku's separatist ideas much less support in Central. Without such a public opinion foundation, the price to forcefully occupy a planet may be even more unbearable.
Especially for the distorted economic and military structure of the current Federation of Independent Systems, once the war falls into a quagmire, it is likely to collapse internally first.
As mentioned before, the war method of the Confederation of Independent Systems can be called an 'oligarchic proxy war', that is, those super corporations fight this war on behalf of the major participating planets of the Confederation.
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 was nothing before those debt-laden planets, except the ideals Count Dooku talked to them about, and a blank check to defeat the Galactic Republic and gain freedom.
What do they gain by defeating the Galactic Republic? There are no guarantees to anyone.
