Chapter 1243: Boil the Frog in Warm Water
1243. Boil the Frog in Warm Water
Tang Xiao returned to his office and connected the Galli-Ulan communication.
Originally, according to Jarno's suggestion, he should change into more solemn clothes, but Tang Xiao decisively rejected this suggestion. He told Jarno that there should be one between himself and Lundili. Very clear affiliation.
The communication was connected, and the image of Gali Ulan was projected in the holographic projection. However, the interference of this projection was great, and the picture kept flickering. It was obvious that there was an interference source on Rendili's side.
Moreover, Tang Xiao saw that he was not wearing the gorgeous but inconvenient clothes from before, but just a set of work clothes. It seems that he has been very busy recently.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty the Governor, I am contacting you using encrypted communication. Now around our galaxy, the Galactic Republic Intelligence Department has set up many signal interception devices, trying to eavesdrop on everything coming from us. Hyperspace communication," Gary Ulan said apologetically.
"The Galactic Republic is not ignorant of everything. Since Palpatine single-handedly caused your current predicament, your reactions are naturally part of his calculations." Tang Xiao added what Jarno said just now repeated.
"You mean, Palpatine did it on purpose?"
"The same thing, I have told your father, Benjila Ulan, before. I believe you now "I already understand that the question before you, Lundili Interstellar Power Company, is not whether to raise a rebellion, but how to safely leave the Galaxy Republic," Tang Xiao said.
Galli Ulan sighed, "I just don't understand, why must we be the ones who die? Why not Corellian Engineering Company and Quat Power Shipyard?"
"Corellia The rise and fall of the engineering company is related to the entire Corellian galaxy, the five habitable planets in the galaxy, and even the vast and developed Corellia Corridor. Do you think Palpatine will touch them? "Tang Xiao? He asked coldly, "As for Kuat, they started their political investment very early, and their exaggerated shipbuilding style is more in line with the favor of those Republic legislators who long for power. So for Palpatine , they are our own people... After all, if you don't punish them, who will you punish?"
Gali Ulan was silent for a moment, and then asked: "If you take action, can you ensure our ethics? Where is Dili’s safety?”
“Asking for such a promise from me shows your immaturity.” Tang Xiao said lightly: “Only those who are naive will follow. If others want such a commitment, they can't even take a step forward without a 100% success rate, and such a person is destined to be a loser in life and career. So, what about you?"
< br>Gali Ulan fell into silence for a while again. After a while, he asked dryly, "So, will the deceased angel take action? I heard from my father... you are... deceased..." br>
Before he could finish his words, an invisible force instantly strangled his neck, making him unable to breathe and making him swallow the second half of his sentence.
With a pop, an invisible force threw him directly several meters away!
Gali Ulan was extremely frightened. This was the first time he felt the terrifying power of the Force. It was also the first time he felt such a terrifying sense of oppression from Tang Xiao!
Even a Jedi Knight would never offend the heir of an industrial giant like him like this.
But this terrifying man in front of me... Just now, Gali Ulan even felt like he was facing death!
Getting up from the ground, he quickly returned to the communication without any hesitation.
"You must understand a premise, Gali Ulan." Tang Xiao said coldly, "The Angel of Death is not an existence that people at your level can contact and talk about...including what you want. If you give your daughter away, you can only give it to Tang Xiao, the governor of Dawn Planet, not the Angel of Death. "Adele is my most beloved daughter...she can't..."
"Then let me change my condition." A cruel smile appeared on Tang Xiao's face, "It's okay to let the Angel of Death personally help you. But... you must kill you with my own hands in front of me. "Daughter, how are you?"
"You!" Gary Ulan jumped up and was about to have a fit, but as soon as his eyes came into contact with Tang Xiaofu, he immediately lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I beg you...don't do this..."
"Hehehehe..." Tang Xiao sneered for a while, but did not answer his request. He just asked, "It seems that your situation in Lundili is indeed not good. Tell me."
Gali Ulan said: "Three days ago, the Jedi Order sent a Jedi Master and his apprentice to prepare to take over the defense fleet of the planet Rendili. At the same time, we also discovered that the Republic Intelligence Department was on our planet The activities of the Galactic Republic are increasing. The Galactic Republic has begun to take precautions against us... Moreover, many of our shipyard leaders have been bribed by the Republic..."
"Not by the Republic, but by the Republic. After doing some research, you discovered that your support rate is actually not that high, right?" Tang Xiao smiled sarcastically.
Gali Ulan did not dare to hide anything this time, shook his head and said: "Yes... After conducting this secret investigation, my father Bangila Ulan also had doubts about our prospects. Not optimistic.”
“Lundili Interstellar Power Company has a history of more than 20,000 years and is one of the founding heroes of the Galactic Republic. With this background, you Lundili and the Galactic Republic. They have long been entangled, and some things are beyond your control, which is why Palpatine thinks he can easily control you," Tang Xiao said, "And you are indeed powerless to resist."
< br>
Gali Ulan sighed, "Although we are not on the edge of the cliff now, we are actually dying slowly. The few orders left to us by the Galactic Republic actually only allow us to maintain basic production capacity and not let We were just disbanding some interstellar shipyards in order to survive. Before the war started, my father and I both believed that we lost the order to Kuat Power Shipyard because we misjudged the situation and did not come up with equipment suitable for the war at the first time. Battleship design..."
He shook his head, "So at that time, my father, with his powerful skills, actually seized the opportunity to instigate the rebellion of the chief battleship designer of Quat Power Dockyard, Willix Bully. Sykes, he also designed the Victory-class Star Destroyer for us, but the situation still did not improve at all. At that time, my father began to realize that something was wrong..."
"So your father is indeed very good. . If it wasn't him but you who were in charge of Lundili, hehe, I'm sorry, even if the Angel of Death comes over, it can't be saved." Tang Xiao sneered.
"So far, it is actually no problem for our company to survive. After all, the heritage of 25,000 years is there. However, if this situation continues, it will only be a matter of time before we are annexed by Kuate. There's a problem." Gary Ulan said, "This is the most desperate part! Because the shipyard leaders and managers at all levels under us did not realize that the end was coming, but only thought that it was a temporary event. It's just a low point!"
"Ah, boiling frogs in warm water, slow death...Palpatine has indeed caught all your weaknesses." Tang Xiao understood.
No wonder that in the original plot, although Rendili Interstellar Power Company wanted to launch a rebellion, it was quickly suppressed. They could not even fully control their own defense fleet, and there was an uprising that defected to the Republic. In the end, Rendili's family fortune, including their 25,000 years of heritage, was completely taken away by Palpatine.
Thus, the monster-like Quat Power Dockyard was created!
