    Creates a new network policy in a given network.

    Args:
        project_id: name of the project you want to use.
        region: name of the region you want to use. I.e. "us-central1"
        ip_range: the CIDR range to use for internet access and external IP access gateways,
            in CIDR notation. An RFC 1918 CIDR block with a "/26" suffix is required.
        internet_access: should internet access be allowed.
        external_ip: should external IP addresses be assigned.

    Returns:
        An operation object representing the started operation. You can call its .result() method to wait for
        it to finish.

    Raises:
        ValueError if the provided ip_range doesn't end with /26.
