Chapter 2264: Wherever the eyes reach
2265: Wherever the eyes reach
"The Angel of Death? Who is this?" Gar-Saxon is very unfamiliar with this name.
That’s right, he did not experience the beginning of the Separatist Crisis until the ten years during the Clone Wars. For the name of the ‘Earth Angel’, a Sith Lord who rose at a rapid rate, Never heard of it at all.
Asajj Ventress said coldly: "Perhaps his other name is more familiar to you-Grand Duke of Dawn, Tang Xiao."
Gar-Saxon's expression changed, and he even couldn't help but take a step back.
Grand Duke Tang Xiao of Dawn! !
Compared to Emperor Palpatine of the Galactic Empire, who directly admitted that he was the Lord of the Sith, Tang Xiao, the Grand Duke of Dawn, obviously kept a much lower profile, and he never admitted it on any occasion. Let's face the fact that he is a Sith Lord. However, Grand Duke Dawn is another powerful Sith Lord, and this fact has been confirmed by many people. However, due to the lack of an official statement, there are many different versions about Tang Xiao. As a result, some outrageous versions have spread widely, causing many people who don't know what is going on to have a kind of fear towards Tang Xiao.
Gar-Saxon is one of them, and from his perspective, this matter may mean something even worse.
“You mean, the Principality of Dawn has begun to interfere with the planet Mandalore?”
"It's not confirmed yet, but this is a high probability." Asajj Ventress said, "However, it is unlikely that he will come to Mandalore in person, so it is very likely that his men will come."
Gar Saxon said: "Now that Severance Tann's fleet is approaching, if such a person is to be added, how should we deal with it?"
Ah Sage Ventress said coldly: "Our master naturally has a perfect plan. You just need to do your own thing."
After saying that, he turned around and left, ignoring Gal. -Saxony.
Being so ignored, Gar-Saxon looked a little gloomy, but his current troubles didn't stop there. Just yesterday, the Galactic Empire issued an administrative order directly from the public level, requiring the planet Mandalore to pay taxes owed over the past nine years, totaling 3.3 billion empire credits.
These 9 years are counted from the referendum on Mandalore and the disappearance of the Grand Duchess Satine Kryze.
This is simply blackmail! Because the planet Mandalore has experienced so many years of turmoil, it is not to say impoverished, but at least it can be considered impoverished. Most of the 5 billion investment from the Zane Consortium is not in cash, which can directly allow Gar-Saxon to launch an ambitious five-year plan. Now we have to ask them to come up with 3.3 billion in cash. Even if you cut up the land on the planet Mandalore, you won’t even have that much money!
However, this is actually forcing the planet Mandalore to surrender. At this time, Gar-Saxon took out some symbolic money, then made an IOU, accepted the investigation by the Imperial Investigation Team, then provided him with delicious food and drinks, and then filled the trunk of the investigation team's hover car. Basically, this is what happened It's over.
But the problem is that Gar Saxon is basically a puppet, and Tiber Zane has made it clear that it is impossible to give a penny to the Galactic Empire. But at the same time, it is also required that the planet Mandalore must not break up with the Galactic Empire. At this time, it needs to be delayed.
This is playing politics.
You ask Gar-Saxon to lead the army and kill someone in the enemy's formation with seven in and seven out. He can do it. But you let him pretend to be a snake and make a fool of himself? This is really difficult for him.
So Gar-Saxon thought for a long time and simply told the people in the Galactic Empire about the attack on his Mandalorian warriors. Moreover, he even added insult to injury by saying that the condition of the deceased was strange and that his vitality had been completely drained. It seemed that it was the Grand Duke of Dawn, Tang Xiao, who had done this.
But the problem is that Tang Xiao has been building momentum on the Dawn Planet for the past two days, hyping up the peaceful and friendly relations between the Dawn Principality and the Galactic Empire. He made many speeches, clearly expressing the peaceful wishes of the Dawn Principality, and building momentum for Francis Underwood, who was visiting the Galactic Empire. This news directly caused the Galactic Empire to pay great attention to it. If what Gar Saxon said was true, then even if Tang Xiao did not do it himself, it definitely had something to do with him.
So the Galactic Empire dispatched a task force consisting of 10 Imperial-class Star Destroyers to the planet Mandalore, but they did not dare to get too close. After all, Sever Lance Tann's fleet was also nearby, so the Galactic Empire's fleet was temporarily stationed outside.
In fact, this move does not have much impact on the overall situation of the Mandalorian sector. That is, the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn are staring at each other from a distance and preventing each other from causing trouble on the planet Mandalore. .
But for the senior leaders of the Galactic Empire, the situation is completely different.
11BBY, January 30th.
The Governor of the Fourth Army of the Galactic Empire, Wilhuff Tarkin, submitted a report to Emperor Palpatine. According to his report, he claimed that the Dawn Principality was infiltrating the planet Mandalore, just as they had previously done to Hercules. Special space, the same as done to places like the Trade Federation.
Governor Tarkin said that if the Galactic Empire does not respond in time, 'The planet Mandalore will become an important part of the Principality of Dawn's construction of the Galactic Empire's encirclement network.'
However, after the report was submitted, Palpatine submitted it to the Imperial Council for discussion. The final conclusion was that the current situation of the planet Mandalore was unclear and it was not suitable for armed intervention. It was recommended that the military in the Mandalore sector be maintained. Exist and wait and see what happens.
It has become the common choice of the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn to wait and see what happens.
However, two days later, on January 32, the situation changed again! The incident happened in Nashada, Black Sun's stronghold.
The Smuggler's Moon Narshada satellite is the undisputed core of Hutt space. The satellite of the planet Nar-Heta is not large, but it accommodates a population of 100 billion, and there is no order and law here at all, only disorder and chaos.
Even now that the Gorensla family has nominally integrated and unified the Hutt space, Oruba Gorensla is helpless against Nashada. He has no way to manage this place at all.
This means that even now, Nashada is still a lawless place.
The current headquarters of Black Sun, once the largest gang organization in the galaxy, is here. They originally had a base on the planet Mustafa, but since the planet Mustafa was mortgaged to the Principality of Dawn by the Corporate Alliance, Black Sun's underground activities there have been unable to hide, so they also left Musa one after another. Planet Tafa.
Of course, in Nar Shaddaa, not to mention Black Sun, at least half of the gang organizations in the entire galaxy have their respective strongholds here. If someone just blew up Nar Shaddaa, maybe the crime rate in the entire galaxy would drop by ten percentage points.
Now, in an extremely luxurious-looking club in Nashada, more than a dozen Farin people wearing luxurious robes are having a meeting, and the leading Farin man with two mustaches is holding a meeting. It’s the current leader of the Black Sun—Xommit-Glenset!
Opposite these Falin people, there stood a voluptuous Night Sister, Serri.
"You want to tell me that the Zane Consortium wants to cooperate with us? Hahahaha." Glenset said with a sneer.
