Chapter 2290 The Last Resistance
2291. The Last Resistance
“Master Grand Duke! We can’t hold on any longer!” Newt Gunray, Governor of the Trade Federation, almost She knelt down in front of Tang Xiao with a fistful of runny nose and tears, hugged his thigh and cried loudly, "Wealth... all the wealth planets have fallen, and now only the Balmoral planet is left!!"
< br> "Didn't I tell you that you have to persist for at least two years? How long have you persisted until now?" Tang Xiao asked coldly.
"It's not that I don't want to persist... It's true that the Imperial Legion is coming in bit by bit... We can't resist it at all..." Newt Gunray howled.
Tang Xiao kicked him away and snorted: "What about the planet Cato-Neimoidia? You actually allowed the Galactic Empire to occupy those bridge cities? And I heard that the attack on Zara Darth Vader was there during the city? Then you should blow up all those bridge cities! Let Darth Vader take a bath with those treasures in the ravine!"
"I really don't want to! You dare to blow it up..." Newt Gunray cried loudly while crawling over to hug Tang Xiao's calf. "Palpatine threatened me. If I dare to blow up Bridge City, he will destroy Balmorra and Nemo. The planet Idia was blown to the ground, leaving none of us Neimoidians alive..."
Tang Xiao could tell that Newt Gunray was really crying this time, because he It is true that we are at the end of our rope.
After nearly a year of attacks, the Trade Federation has basically collapsed within the Galactic Empire. Their planets in the core circle and inner ring have been besieged, either fallen or surrendered, and they Most of the planets in the middle and outer rings have left the trade alliance after seeing the bad situation.
Because while the Trade Federation was being hit, other financial groups in the Galactic Empire were not idle either. They had been waiting for opportunities to embezzle the assets of the Trade Federation. And those cooperative planets of the trade alliance have basically fallen into the arms of other companies and consortiums.
Of course, it must be said that the Fourth Group also participated and occupied many Trade Federation planets. Pooh! No, this cannot be called embezzlement, this is called legal inheritance.
Now that their three largest wealth worlds have been captured, only their home planet of Neimoidia and the industrial center of Balmoral are left. Basically, the basic structure of the Trade Alliance is completely destroyed. . If they want to continue to develop, they can only start over on the northern planet Mequito.
The trade alliance, which has been glorious for more than three hundred years and once became the largest super enterprise in the galaxy, will also come to an end. From now on, they will continue to survive as a state-owned enterprise under the Principality of Dawn.
And such a huge gap is about to happen to Newt Gunray himself. He would be embarrassed in front of the entire galaxy. Not only that, all Neimoidians will regard him as a shame, and he will become a sinner of race and civilization!
No matter how much Newt Gunray loves money as much as his life, he would never dare to bear such a name on his head!
Tang Xiao snorted coldly: "If you don't blow up Bridge City, will the Galactic Empire let you go? How many people on the planet Neimoidia have been evacuated now?"
"Neimoy There are 4 billion civilians on the planet Dia, and 3 billion have completed their evacuation. According to your instructions, they have been temporarily resettled on the planet Rendili, waiting for further processing." Newt Gunray looked at Tang with a pleading look. Xiao.
Tang Xiao nodded and said: "You should be lucky that you are an expanding race, and the population on each planet is not large. The evacuation work is not difficult."
" But... there are also many people on many other planets... the Neimoidians, with a total population of about 20 billion," Newt Gunray said in a low voice.
Then he knelt down in front of Tang Xiao again and begged: "Please, Your Majesty the Grand Duke! We can no longer bear the pain of losing the planets of Balmorra and Neimoidia." Tang Xiao But he shook his head heartily and said: "This is impossible. Since the Galactic Empire has determined to solve your problems by force, all the planets in the core circle of the Trade Federation cannot be saved. I remember I told you, what you have to think about now , it is no longer how to save...but..."
His expression gradually became ferocious, "Revenge!... That's right! Revenge against the Galactic Empire! Revenge against Palpatine! And now every second you delay on the planet Balmorra is... Revenge! Do you understand?"
"But...but..." Newt Gunray was trembling all over. The few months of war had already reduced the few things he had. A hard bone.
"If you delay for another two months, I will directly give you a livable planet." Tang Xiao directly made the bid.
Yes, the planet Neimoidia does not matter, but an industrial center like the planet Balmoral cannot be completely handed over to the Galactic Empire! As for habitable planets, I can have as many as I want now!
Newt Gunray was still hesitant, "But there are many Neimoidians in other parts of the galaxy... If they continue to resist..."
"Two. And I will write it down. Written order." Tang Xiao raised another finger and added: "At the same time, I will try my best to influence Palpatine's decision and change the possible massacre of the Neimoidians into an expulsion order."< br>
Newt Gunray finally made up his mind again. He nodded, stopped howling and crying, and whispered: "The planet Balmorra will continue to resist for two months... Your Majesty, the Grand Duke, The future of Neimoidians now depends on you..."
...
11BBY, March 24.
The Trade Federation's largest and last wealth planet, Cato-Neimoidia, completely fell under the attack of the Galactic Empire's most elite force, the 501st Legion, Vader's Fist.
On the day of the fall, the Galactic Empire suddenly announced that due to the fierce resistance of the Trade Federation during the attack, the bridge city of Zara collapsed in the crossfire and completely fell into the 10,000-meter abyss. Now, the Imperial Rescue Force is trying to save as much property as possible that was originally stored in the Bridge City vault.
This is all the responsibility of the Trade Federation. The Galactic Empire has taken over and protected all the property deposited by the nobles and wealthy families in the core circle, and is in the process of final inventory. After the inventory is completed, it will be returned to everyone.
As for the inevitable losses, the Galactic Empire stated that this was caused by the Principality of Dawn giving the Trade Federation unrealistic illusions and allowing the Trade Federation to resist stubbornly.
Finally, the Galactic Empire once again issued an ultimatum to the Trade Federation, requiring the last two planets of the Trade Federation, Balmorra and Neimoidia, to surrender within 24 hours of Galaxy Standard Time.
However, after thinking for 23 hours, the Trade Federation issued a response: Refuse to surrender!
And the Trade Alliance released a large number of combat videos, showing that while they were still resisting, the structure of the bridge city Zara City was very stable, and there was absolutely no damage caused by the war! And the actual fall of Zara City was 5 hours earlier than the time announced by the Galactic Empire!
The Galactic Empire was a self-inflicted thief who completely emptied Zara City of all its wealth before completely blowing up Zara City and destroying all traces of the corpses without any evidence!
Originally, what Palpatine thought was that I would spare your lives, and you would take the blame for Zara City, and everyone would be happy. But now that Newt Gunray was so ignorant, he suddenly became furious and ordered Darth Vader to completely plow the Trade Federation to the ground!
