Chapter 753: Taming (Part 2)
752. Taming (Part 2)
"Close..." Upon hearing Darth Malthael's words, Newt Gunray fell down. Sitting on the ground, the Neimoidian's flounder-like face wrinkled even more, "How do you know!!"
Darth Malthael still drank leisurely. Drinking wine, "Of course I know, because you are the...switch of war that Darth Sidious hid. Ever since the B-1 combat robot rioted at the Eriadu Business Summit, you have become a natural person." This entry mechanism and command are installed on all newly produced robots. "
"This is... this is... an emergency system for safety reasons." Newt Gunlay still had a sense of luck. . Because this matter is indeed his biggest secret, and as the relevant design engineers were silenced by him, there should only be two people in the entire galaxy who know about this switch!
Him, and Darth Sidious.
But now, how did this deceased angel know? !
“Let me tell you a story, Newt Gunray.” Darth Malthael said slowly: “The war between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems will last for two to three years. Years."
He glanced at Newt Gunray, whose body was still shaking violently.
“But this war is fruitless for both sides. For the Confederacy, their strength will not be able to shake the Galactic Republic after all. The productivity gap between the two sides is too great. When the Republic’s industrial world is fully When construction begins, a steady stream of warships will completely overwhelm the poor and backward planets of the Confederacy, not to mention...the existence of Jedi Knights." Darth Malthael said.
"But it is not easy for the Galactic Republic to defeat the Confederacy. The Confederacy of Independent Systems, with thousands of galaxies joining it, and the help of super enterprises such as the Trade Federation, the power that explodes cannot be underestimated, especially when the frontline battle is defeated and faced with a life-or-death situation. "Darth Malthael glanced at Newt Gunray, "In order to cope with powerful enemies and rapidly changing situations, the Galactic Republic will continue to invest funds, expand the scale of debt, and expand the army more and more. , the Speaker of the Parliament will also use the emergency ruling power again and again to save the Galactic Republic from crisis."
"So under such circumstances, the originally loose and corrupt bureaucracy of the Galactic Republic began to become more efficient. , power became more concentrated, and industry and the military began to become the main core of the Republic. The Republic used war as an excuse to suppress the civilians of various planets, create a high-pressure atmosphere, and put the entire regime on a fast track."
"Then... as long as he finds a way to get rid of the Jedi Order, he will not be far from his goal - the Galactic Empire. However, if he wants to become the emperor, his reputation is still one step away. He not only has to win the support of civilians, What’s more, we need to win the support of the oligarchic class, yes, I’m talking about the industrial giants such as Kuat, Corellia, and Nubia..."
I heard that Das Malthael did not mention it. The names of the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association were also mentioned. The corners of Newt Gunray's mouth twitched.
“For the people, he needs a victory that is significant enough. Defeating the Confederation of Independent Systems, ending the civil war, and reunifying the galaxy is the best unparalleled feat! Why is this feat so important? Because everyone can see how powerful the Confederation of Independent Systems is, and its advantages in the early stages of the war have planted fear in everyone's heart. Everyone understands that it will take at least several years or even decades to defeat the Confederation of Independent Systems. Time...but...what if he can do it immediately?" Darth Malthael glanced at Newt Gunray and then said.
"Because he has prepared a back-up, a switch for this day. As long as he enters the password, the Confederacy of Independent Systems will immediately lose all its troops and then be defeated in a short period of time, giving this man supreme glory! Because he He is the wisest and most powerful person in the galaxy who has accomplished something that no one else can do... So, if he becomes emperor again at this time, will anyone stop him? "Darth Malthael? With a cold smile, the lightsaber was already in his hand at some point. With a swish sound, the blood-red plasma blade stopped less than 1 centimeter in front of Newt Gunray's eyes!
“Tell me, should I destroy this switch?” Darth Malthael didn’t even look at Gunray. He was still sitting on the seat with his legs crossed. Holding the wine glass in one hand, his voice was as eerie as a demon in the abyss.
With a pop, Newt Gunray fell to his knees, trembling all over, but unable to say a word.
Fear has completely dominated his heart.
However, Darth Malthael put away his lightsaber and continued: "My story is not over yet. Defeating the Confederation of Independent Systems and unifying the galaxy can only win the support of ordinary civilians. And those powerful oligarchs, They don't care about this... they want something more direct."
"Money, yes, power, perfection." Darth Malthael said slowly. "However, the cake of the Milky Way has been divided. Although the civil war is over, the cake of the Confederacy of Independent Systems is still the same cake as before, unchanged. To divide the cake, someone must get out..."
He looked at Newt Gunray and sneered: "Are the people who were eliminated the Kuat who made great contributions to the war? Are they Corellia or Nubia? No, because they have continued to expand during the war. , the industrial strength has already exceeded the sum of other planets in the galaxy. Those who are eliminated are naturally the war criminals who started the war."
Newt Gunlay gritted his teeth and said: "This is impossible! I ended the war! If it weren't for me, the war would continue!"
Darth Malthael looked at him with pity, "Who knows?"
Newt Gunray was stunned as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.
"As long as all the insiders, including the leaders of the Confederation of Independent Systems, are killed, no one will know the truth of this controlled war. The rest is to try the war criminals and use Money, interests and power, to buy his own life...vomit out the cake he has eaten and give it to those he needs to win over." Darth Malthael slowly lifted his hood and revealed himself. "As for things like killing people...the Jedi Order will naturally be happy to do it."
"You...you...you..." Newt Gunray seemed to be looking at He kept backing away like a man-eating monster, then sat down on the ground, raised his trembling fingers and pointed at the powerful and dark Sith Lord opposite, "You are... Tang Xiao..."
