Chapter 679 Beyond Death
678. Beyond Death
"Fear is not enough. This is the reason why Suramar's 19th Army failed..." Wilhuff Tarkin Turning his head slightly, he turned aside the holographic projection of Darth Sidious and said slowly, "We must put fear back into the hearts of Dawn Planet."
"I only care about Dawn Planet, when Able to destroy." Darth Sidious asked.
"I need 5 years." Wilhuff Tarkin answered directly.
"I don't have 5 years to give you!"
"If this is the case, I can only say that this is not a rational choice." Tarkin shook his head.
"Then tell me, how many battleships do you need?" Darth Sidious asked.
"500 Chasseur-class ships." Tarkin reported a number directly.
"In the current situation, this is a very outrageous number!" Darth Sidious was a little unhappy.
"Our enemy is not just the Dawn Planet. The power of separatism is our main threat at present. I am talking about the Confederacy of Independent Systems." Tarkin replied, "If we lack sufficient power, we will not be able to destroy the enemy. If we have confidence, then the losses in the war will be extremely large."
"The Confederation of Independent Systems...maybe it is true...hehehehe..." Darth Sidious laughed for a while, "Maybe... ..."
"In fact, at this stage, I do not recommend attacking the Dawn Planet. This is not in line with our strategy," Tarkin said.
"Do your own thing, Tarkin. Of course I have my own considerations." Darth Sidious said.
"Is it another supernatural power like the Force? In my opinion, this power cannot be used to establish the power we expect." Tarkin said.
"Now you will use such power. Suramar was killed in his own mansion, under heavy protection, and you will not want to follow in his footsteps." Darth Sidious said, " I will ask the Jedi Order to send two Jedi Masters to protect your safety. Use them well."
"It would be better to have two humans." Tarkin. This time he did not veto, but said lightly.
"I will be waiting for news from you, Wilhuff Tarkin, my friend." Darth Sidious finished speaking and cut off the communication.
Wilhuff Tarkin then turned around, came to his desk, and flipped through the files on the desk. He could see that it was full of information about the Dawn Planet and the Information on the 19th Army.
His expression gradually became solemn, he pressed the communication button and said: "Send more manpower. I want to know all the information about the Dawn Planet, including how many meals their civilians eat a day and what their staple food is. I want to know everything." Everyone needs to know.”
"Yes!"
Takin then walked out of his office with his hands behind his back, and a group of heavily armed elite guards immediately stepped forward and followed him. Tarkin still didn't say a word, but just walked forward with his head held high, his long military boots hitting the clean and tidy floor with a crisp sound, echoing in the busy but quiet corridor.
He went all the way down and came to a cell closed by a laser fence. He only saw one person sitting inside. He was locked with more than ten shackles and could only maintain his posture while sitting upright. posture.
And what is very scary is that his head is fixed by a complex machine, and his eyes are always kept open by two small mechanical hands. His eyes are round and bloodshot, and his tears have long dried up, and he cannot get it. The moist lens has begun to dry out. His arms were dotted with pinpricks, the result of being injected with various veritaserum and hallucinogens. But what is even more frightening is that the bones in the back of his head were completely opened, and his brain was directly exposed. A special torture robot was piercing various parts of his brain with long, electrified steel needles on its several mechanical arms. .
Apart from anything else, the torture robot itself, if word got out, would be enough for Tarkin to be accused by those Republic representatives who advocated democracy and human rights for the rest of his life.
Although he had been tortured until he was no longer human, he could still recognize that this man was Colonel Lott, the former intelligence chief of the 19th Army of the Republic.
Now Colonel Lott has almost completely lost the ability to speak. He relies on a device that is directly cut into his throat and implanted to record the vibration of his vocal cords to form written language.
Takin came to the torture robot. After looking at the torture during this period, he looked through all the information he got from Colonel Lott and found that it was not of much value, so he said to the torture robot: "It's still not complete. I want to dig out every second from him when he analyzed the intelligence of the Dawn Planet. I want to know every detail. If I can't know how the Dawn Planet passed us such fatal false information , what happened to the 19th Army will happen again to our 18th Army.”
The dozens of electronic eyes on the torture robot’s head flashed, and they spoke quickly in the robot’s unique language. Tarkin looked at it. After looking at the translation, he said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I don't care whether this person is alive, as long as he can give me what I want."
After saying that, he turned around and left directly surrounded by the guards.
......
"Stand at attention! Fire a salute! Salute!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! !
The heavy gun salute roared rhythmically, a total of 99 rounds.
The honor guard of the Fourth Civilization were all dressed in black military uniforms and lined up on both sides with solemn expressions.
Tang Xiao also wore a black governor's uniform, with numerous medals pinned to his chest, and the most conspicuous one was when he first encountered the pirate Tieya Kuken, when he personally went to the front line After fighting hard, the military awarded him a second-level star medal in accordance with the standard method. This medal also has special meaning for him.
He personally supported the coffin of Marshal Igor Zavalov and walked forward slowly. There were a group of honor guard soldiers in front and behind, walking in uniform steps.
Tang Xiao looked at the body of Marshal Igor Zavalov, who was placed in the anti-gravity crystal coffin, and shook his head slightly.
"If you are willing, I can resurrect you and give you a long life..." A few days ago, Tang Xiao was lying on the hospital bed of Marshal Igor Zavalov, who could no longer speak. Before, so said.
However, Igor Zavalov just held Tang Xiao tightly with his rough hands, shook his head firmly, then gently patted the back of Tang Xiao's hand, and ended with a smile.
This made Tang Xiao feel powerless for the first time after awakening the power of death. He vaguely discovered that sometimes, death does not seem so absolute...
In this world, there may be many things beyond death...
