Mina Bontry was startled, and then a displeased look appeared on her face, "I wonder why the Governor said this?"< br>
"The war has just begun." Tang Xiao sighed, as if he had a lot on his mind, his expression was heavy, and then he forced a smile that looked very forced at first glance, and deliberately changed the topic and asked: "Ang. How is the situation on Planet Delon?”
“Chairman Thornhill of the Interstellar Banking Association and Director Gross Shelby of Group 4 have important investments in our planet, worth tens of billions. Funds from credits are not used to make the war fail." Mina Bontry stopped first, which widened the distance between her and Tang Xiao. "We are building on the Dexen satellite. At the shipyard, 20 Behemoth-class battlecruisers have been assembled, and they will deliver a fatal blow to the Republic.”
"I am very happy to see your efforts, Councilor Mina. But the question is, can the fragile political status quo of your planet Onderon really persist until the end of the war?" Tang Xiao said lightly, "Planet Onderon Prime Minister, Sanjay Rush, his position is not that secure..."
Mina Bontri apparently came to approach Tang Xiao with good intentions, but was showered with a bucket of cold water on her head. Infuriated by the intrusive behavior, she raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily, "The internal affairs of our planet have nothing to do with you! And this is not the reason for you to try to seduce and shake Count Dooku's faith with rumors!!"
" To win the war, you rely on battleships, not faith." Tang Xiao pushed back.
Mina Bontry snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"Congressman Mina." Tang Xiao called from behind.
Although Mina was angry, she still stopped and wanted to hear Tang Xiao's explanation. She turned her face and said coldly: "As a participant in this great war, I don't want to stand with someone who only thinks about failure. "
"War is not a child's play, Councilor Mina. If you can't bear the weight of losing everything, it's better not to talk about war." Tang Xiao seemed to not understand Mina's very obvious attitude. , stabbed her like this again.
Mina Bontry was really angry this time. She said loudly: "Then what have you lost? In my opinion, you are just a young man who talks about war!" said After that, he turned around and walked away quickly.
"Of course, I lost something..." Tang Xiao whispered, but Mina Bontry had already walked away and could not hear him.
He spread out his hand to catch a fallen leaf and rubbed it gently in his hand, "Human nature..."
The strength in his hands gradually increased, and finally he crushed the fallen leaf to pieces.
At this time, he saw a tall man under a tree in front of him, wearing a red robe, with golden curly hair and beard carefully braided into braids. He looked majestic and majestic, like a lion. The man was standing there, staring at him.
Seeing that Tang Xiao had discovered him, the man strode over.
It turns out that he is the new king of the planet Jabim, Alto Stratus. This man should have died in the battle on the planet Jabim, but because of the military assistance from the Dawn Planet, he finally survived. And successfully completed the coup and became the leader of the planet king.
"Your Majesty the Governor." Alto Stratus came over, "I have always wanted to thank you in person for the assistance that Planet Dawn has given us, but because you are busy with work, I have not been able to find it. Opportunity.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his rough and generous palm and shook Tang Xiao's hand firmly, "However, just now I saw that you and Mina Bontelli had some small misunderstandings? Ha, these women never know what talent is. It’s war.”
“No one is more qualified to mention the cruelty of war than you,” Tang Xiao said, “I feel the same for what happened to Planet Jabiem, so. These are all as they should be. And, didn’t I also get the mineral resources of the Jabim planet?” “Your price is much higher than the price offered by the enterprise alliance and the commercial guild, and it has reached the market price. . This makes me very grateful." Alto Stratus said, "The Enterprise Alliance's actions reminded me of the exploitation of the Galactic Republic. I once thought that the Federation of Independent Systems was just the same. Well, there are still people like you in the Confederation.”
“Haha, it’s just because I have some unique connections, so I’m not short of money.” Tang Xiao smiled. He smiled and said, "Actually, I heard Claire Underwood talk about you before, before the war broke out."
"I know. That was when the cerebral plague broke out on our planet and the Dawn Planet was established. The Outer Rim Mutual Aid Fund provided us with help. At that time, I was just a defense officer," Alto Stratus recalled. "In the blink of an eye, the galaxy has changed. .”
"But our belief remains unchanged." Tang Xiao said, unaware that he had just made Mina Bonteri extremely angry with the opposite words a few minutes ago.
Alto nodded, and then said: "Actually, I came to you, there is one more thing that I need help from Dawn Planet."
"Please tell me." Tang Xiao nodded.
Alto Stratus' expression was a little solemn, "You know, the Confederation of Independent Systems is levying very heavy war taxes from every participating planet. I also understand that this is for the sake of peace with Incomparable The expenses necessary for the powerful Galactic Republic to fight, but...this expense is too heavy for the planet Jabim, which is currently waiting for development."
He sighed, this is on the battlefield. The brave and fearless leader of the planet, after taking over the authority of the planet, he needs to be responsible for the food and clothing of tens of millions of people on the planet. This was more difficult than killing Jedi Knights on the battlefield, and it also made him seem to have changed a lot overnight.
Tang Xiao smiled and was noncommittal.
This is indeed the policy of the Confederation of Independent Systems. Those corporate giants are responsible for fighting the war, and all the participating planets contribute money. This is the essence of the war of the Confederation of Independent Systems.
All the wars are fought with robots, as well as a large number of battleships, tanks, etc. These things further stimulate industrial development and make these corporate giants grow stronger.
Those greedy businessmen will never let themselves lose money.
But fortunately, the Dawn Planet is one of the privileged planets. These privileged planets do not need to bear the taxes of war, but they do have the mission of war. In other words, they are the ones who share and eat the cake, and how much they can eat depends on how much you cut off the big cake of the Galactic Republic.
As for other planets, they only have the money and ability to contribute, and then hope that those privileged planets can leak a few crumbs. Of course, there is a greater chance that there is no such thing, because Count Dooku is talking to them about beliefs and ideals, not interests.
To put it simply, those planets have actually been placed in a position of exploitation by the corporate giants in the Confederation of Independent Systems from the beginning, even if these planets want to send troops to fight to offset part of their taxes. Less than.
It's not that the Federation of Independent Systems doesn't allow it, but that they simply don't have a powerful fleet to project their troops to other planets.
The corporate giants who own the fleet will not refuse their request, but will require these planets to pay a large sum of money for the use of the fleet, which is definitely more expensive than war taxes.
