806: Persuasion

When the decision was made to allow the Plague to withdraw from the planet Cato-Neimoidia, Tang Xiao had actually already made it. choose.

Between the Trade Federation and the Plague, he chose the former, which may even lead to Darth Lilim, his loyal disciple and now arguably the most powerful commander in the entire galaxy. Officer - Severance Tann.

But these things are not as important as the Trade Alliance.

As long as it can gain the allegiance of the Trade Alliance, it will be more precious than 100 Plagues. General talents are indeed rare, but that's all.

But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t do anything.

On October 32, 22 BBY [Note 1], the Titan battleship Plague of the Fourth Civilization was forced to leave the planet Cato-Neimoidia alone due to pressure from the Trade Alliance.

The Galactic Republic fleet, which had already received the news, was even more prepared. Even though the warships everywhere were stretched thin, and the number of warships gathered everywhere was not large, the Republic still found more than 100 warships to surround Cato again. -The planet of Neimoidia, vowing to completely destroy this threatening Titan battleship when the Plague is left alone.

Not only that, but there is also the separatist general who twice threatened the core circle of the Republic - Severance Tann!

However, when the Plague Titan battleship flew out of the low-orbit spaceport on the planet Cato-Neimoidia, the appearance surprised all the officers and soldiers of the Republic fleet, including Master Windu.

Because the shell of this huge Titan battleship is densely covered with vulture robot fighters, the number of which has exceeded 5,000! The Trade Federation played a word game. After all, the Plague was only here for supplies, but no one stipulated that thousands of fighter jets could not be hung outside the battleships during supplies, right?

When the Plague Titan battleship rushed out, the Republic fleet outside the planet immediately opened fire! And the vulture robot fighters hanging densely outside the Plague immediately took off like locusts, rushing towards the Republic fleet desperately!

At this moment, Newt Gunray, the Governor of the Trade Federation, is tremblingly facing the terrifying shadow in front of him, a figure wearing a black cloak projected from the holographic projection...

Darth Malthael.

Malthael said nothing and just stared at Newt Gunray. Just such a movement made Newt Gunray almost pee with fright. He sat down on the ground with a plop and cried out in a mournful voice: " Death... Lord Death Angel... This time, this time I really didn’t want to betray you! It’s really... it’s us... I, I have already thought of a way to hang all the fighters on the planet on the Plague. , these fighters can cover the Plague into hyperspace, I don’t want to... I, I..."

"Hehehehe..." Unexpectedly, Darth Malthael suddenly sneered. , "I sacrificed the Titan battleship Plague to help your Trade Alliance maintain its current position, hahahaha... I think our relationship is not as good as this yet, what do you think?"

" What do you want me to do? Whatever you want me to do...anything goes!" Newt Gunray quickly got up and showed his courtesy, but as soon as he finished speaking, an invisible force grabbed his neck.

Darth Malthael's voice became ferocious, "I help you because you are still useful! I threw away the Plague because you are more useful now. You'd better not let me It's better to be disappointed, otherwise when I take the multiple-choice question next time, I can't guarantee which side I will put you on."

"No... no! Lord Death Angel, I'm right. Your absolute loyalty, absolutely, absolutely!" Newt Gunray said while struggling, already out of breath. "Then, give me that..." Darth Malthael let go of Newt Gunray's neck and said one word.

Newt Gunray's face changed drastically, "This, this is impossible! That, that is the place that Count Dooku values ​​the most, there is no way he will relax his control!!"

"Soon you will find that doing this will only benefit you." Darth Malthael said, "I have told you, if you want to survive, you can only win the war, and if you want to win the war, you can only win the war. There is a way to go - the road I paved for you.”

Newt Gunray collapsed and fell to the ground again, nodding with horror on his face.

……

Severance Tann commanded the Plague Titan battleship to break through the heavy siege of the Republic fleet. Under the cover of those vulture robot fighters, it finally broke out of the planet's gravity circle, started the hyperspace engine and disappeared instantly.

But her face was still extremely solemn. She knew that this was just the beginning.

The Titan battleship Plague's hyperspace engine level is not high, which is also the battleship's biggest shortcoming. The distance of this hyperspace jump is not long, and the Republic's outposts all over the core circle will soon be discovered again. The Plague's whereabouts, and their fleet would follow.

The communication was connected, and Tang Xiao's figure appeared on the screen. "It seems that you have taken the most difficult step." He said lightly.

"The Trade Federation still seems to be leaning towards us. Your plan has succeeded. Lord Governor." Severance Tann said this, but her tone was a little cold and unwilling.

A sneer appeared on Tang Xiao's lips, "I have told you before that when your value is greater than others, the choices left to me will be simpler, and obviously, you lost this time. So, Try to make yourself more useful."

Severance Tann gritted her teeth, "Is this what you call politics?"

"Yes, this is politics. "Tang Xiao said, "Politics is very simple, interests come first, and everything can be put on the scale, but at the same time, politics is also very complicated, because it is difficult for you to grasp the changing trend."

Seifer. Lance Tann took a deep breath, suddenly took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, lowered her head and said: "I want to go back alive, Lord Governor... please save my life..."

[Note 1: The Galactic Republic’s chronological system in "Star Wars" is that the seconds, minutes, hours, and days are the same as those on Earth, and then there are 5 days in a week, 7 weeks in a month, and 10 months in a year, plus a separate 3 weeks and 3 days. Holidays, so there are 368 days in a year and 35 days in January. This date is determined based on the revolution and rotation data of the capital Coruscant. In addition, Coruscant's size and orbit are close to those of the Earth, so the calendar is also close.

Maybe I used the wrong time in some parts of the previous content, but I will pay attention to it later. But fortunately, this issue is not an important issue, and it does not affect reading. In fact, it doesn't matter even if you bring the time standard of the earth.

As for Monday to Friday, there are also unique names in the "Star Wars" world. For example, Monday is called Prime Day, which is even more troublesome. From now on, it will be called Monday to Friday. 】
