Putting down the communication, Tang Xiao's face was gloomy. He quickly connected to another communication. The figure of Alok Besadi, the Hutt, appeared in the holographic projection. Tang Xiao asked directly: "What happened to Nalkheta?"
?”
Alok Besadi still held the gem-carved spice filter in his mouth, and after taking a sip of the intoxicating spice flavor, he slowly said: "The current situation is not good."
Tang Xiao frowned.
Alok continued: "It's the Desiligic family, Jabba."
"He will never give up on Tatooine, we knew that from the beginning," Tang Xiao said.
"He has been dormant for ten years, and now he has begun to take action. This civil war in the Galactic Republic is his best opportunity." Alok said.
"Jabba, what did he do?" Tang Xiao's face was gloomy.
"Hmm..." Alok Besadi took another big sip of the spice, closed his eyes and felt it, and then said: "He plans to propose to Gadula."
An image of two Hutts... and then... that... ahem... appeared in Tang Xiao's mind. However, compared to this, the amount of information contained in this sentence was even more surprising.
"Proposal? Jabba and Gadula?!"
"You must understand this. For the Besadi family, there is still a gap between us and the Desiligic family's heritage, so this marriage is something we cannot refuse," Alok said.
Tang Xiao's face became more and more gloomy, "So, in order to marry the Desiligic family, you used Tatooine as a dowry?"
"In my opinion, the word 'dowry' is very weird. But I can understand what you want to express... Yes, Tatooine will be jointly managed by the Besadi family and the Desiligic family." Ah.
Locke said calmly.
Perhaps sensing that Tang Xiao's face was not very good-looking, Alok added: "This is an agreement between our Besadi family and the Desilijiqi family. It will not cause any harm to your Titan Security and the Scourge Legion."
Affected by this, fleets authorized by you can also freely pass near Tatooine. Of course, for the Bonta Night Podracer race that we jointly operate, it is still...a pleasure to cooperate."
"But you just let go of a fleet of the Galactic Republic." Tang Xiao said coldly.
"There is no conflict between this and me releasing your fleet." Alok said.
Tang Xiao thought for a while, and the smile appeared on his face again, "Well, maybe for the Hutts, this is your best choice now."
"If you can think of it this way, I would be very grateful for your understanding." Alok said calmly.
The communication was shut down, and Tang Xiao punched the wall. He did not use the Force. The punch made his hands drip with blood, and there was even a shallow dent in the hard wall.
No matter how much Alok says, betrayal is betrayal! This is a shameful betrayal!
Tang Xiao was very convinced that there must be Palpatine's hands and feet behind this incident! Jabba, who was desperate, must have hit it off with Palpatine. After all, in the original plot, the two were also in a cooperative relationship.
Alok said nicely that Titan Security and the Scourge were as usual. But in fact, without the support of the Hutts, Titan Security would definitely be struggling in Nar Shaddaa, and the Scourge even more so! Without the support of the smugglers,
Supplies, the Scourge Legion will soon run out of ammunition and food.
The reason why Alok didn't take action against these two forces was just because he planned to take these two forces as his own.
Never underestimate a Hutt's greed.
In this matter, Tang Xiao admitted that he was still wrong after all. He thought that it would be enough to control Gadula, a loser, and he could also coerce Gadula to negotiate with the Bessadi family behind her.
He did succeed at first, but Jabba smashed all Tang Xiao's plans into nothing with just a proposal - this move hit the nail on the head!
Gadula is a loser, which is true for Tang Xiao; it is also true for Jabba; and it is even more true for the Besadi family.
After all, the ambitious Alok Besadi will not let such a loser control Tatooine, a key transportation artery, for a long time. From another perspective, Gadula was once so embarrassed that he had to do garbage recycling.
Well, her ability to make money sitting on the treasure mountain of Tatooine is really worrying.
Moreover, I am afraid that the last kidnapping activity against Gadula also sounded the alarm for Alok. Although the kidnapping failed in the end, the incident still left a shadow in Alok's heart. Let me ask, if you were sitting in the Tatooine palace
Among them is Jabba. Who has the ability to kidnap him?
In other words, no matter how hard Tang Xiao calculated and tried to rescue Gadula, Jabba had already won when the kidnapping occurred.,,
For the benefit of the Besadi family, in this case, accepting Jabba's proposal, and then allowing the more powerful Jabba to manage Tatooine, can also end the decade-long relationship between the Besadi family and
The fight between the Desiligic family can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
What's more, once Jabba and Gadula are combined, according to their agreement, the Besadi family can make more money than they do now, so why not?
The role of Palpatine's possible secret hand behind the scenes cannot be ignored. If the Republic fleet that had withdrawn from the planet Christophsis had not been released, Tang Xiao might not have been able to detect this factor.
Therefore, for the Bethadi family, all the good things are as long as Gardula opens her long legs... ah, no, it should be open... uh... how did the Hutts give birth to monkeys?
Come on? Forget it... I don’t want to look up this information either.
After thinking about the joints, Tang Xiao calmed down.
He is not afraid of being betrayed or plotted by others. He is only afraid of being betrayed by others and not knowing why after being plotted against.
Now that everything is clear now, things are far from completely out of control.
Jabba wants to return to Tatooine, Alok wants to take the Titan Security and the Scourge as his own, but these things are all things that Tang Xiao has worked hard for many years, how can it be so easy!
"Want to eat snake meat? You have to worry about being bitten by a snake..." Tang Xiao muttered, and he connected to a secret channel.
A 60-year-old white-haired woman with short, smart hair and a lady's suit appeared in the holographic projection, "Your Excellency, what are your orders?"
Director of the Fourth Civilization Intelligence Department, Mrs. M.
"Activate one of the hidden threads." Tang Xiao said lightly: "The Hutt—Ziro Desilijic."
"What do you need her to do?" Mrs. M asked directly.
"Ziro is greedy and has limited abilities. Don't tease her too early. Just tell her that her annoying nephew Jabba will be combined with Gadula Besadi in the near future, and then return to the tower in glory.
Planet Tuin." Tang Xiao said.
After a pause, he added: "Zi Luo has many contacts with Count Dooku, so it is best not for us to come forward in this matter, but in the name of Count Dooku. You should understand what I want to say."
"Yes." Mrs. M nodded.
"Also, how is Burka the Hutt doing?" Tang Xiao asked again.
This is the Hutt who sold information about the Extractor to Severance Tann.
"His current situation is not good, especially when the Hutt's recent actions have been somewhat biased towards the Republic. He who is hostile to the Republic will naturally be ostracized." Mrs. M replied.
"Then, these are the chess pieces you can use now." Tang Xiao said, "Go and do it."
"I will arrange it immediately." Mrs. M bowed deeply, took three steps back, and then closed the communication.
Before Tang Xiao had time to take a sip of water, communications from Count Dooku came one after another.
"I sincerely hope that you are satisfied with the hospitality just now, Lord Governor." Count Dooku said with a smile.
Tang Xiao smiled and nodded, "This is natural. I like this banquet very much."
"Actually, I was originally worried that you had already rested, but I must share this news with you as soon as possible. I hope it will not disturb you." Count Dooku said politely.
"It seems like this is definitely great news." Tang Xiao said.
"Indeed." Count Dooku nodded, "Our fleet won a complete victory in the battle on the planet Falin, annihilating an entire battle group of the Galactic Republic and 100 Jaeger-class battlecruisers. This battle
In addition to the Battle of Christophsis and the Battle of Bespin, I can say that the mobile fleet in the hands of the Republic has been completely lost. At least within two months, there will no longer be any force that can stop us.
pace."
Tang Xiao nodded.
The Battle of Falin Planet can be said to be a real head-on collision between the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems, which also happened in the original plot. Although this battle is not described much in the original plot, from the words of Master Windu at the time
As can be seen from the above, the losses in this battle were extremely heavy, and the Republic at that time did not even have the power to reinforce the planet Christophsis.
Although the outbreak of the planet Christophsis was brought forward due to some reasons, the battle on the planet Falin still broke out as scheduled. And this time, Tang Xiao understood that the reason for the outbreak of the battle was that the Republic wanted to break through Corellia.
An attempt at a trade route.
Over there, Count Dooku was still saying, "To be honest, what surprised me the most was not the battle on the planet Falin, but that the planet Dawn once again defeated the Republic's fleet on the planet Bespin. This is definitely beyond me.
The result of all previous expectations and imaginations, I must express my deepest respect to you."
He bowed deeply to Tang Xiao, and then said: "I will hold the grandest celebration again tomorrow, which will last for three days, to celebrate this series of great victories. Miss Alia Isabel also agreed to give her best speech for this celebration.
Beautiful songs, I believe she, who is also from the Dawn Planet, can give you a better experience."
"You're welcome, Count Dooku. I believe this will be a pleasant celebration, and I'm looking forward to it," Tang Xiao said.
Count Dooku changed the topic at this time and suddenly said: "By the way, I heard... that General Severance Tann was also involved in the battle on the planet Christophsis?"
"The Chairman of the Enterprise Alliance, Parcel Argent, offered a high price." Tang Xiao replied with a slight smile.
Count Dooku showed an understanding smile, "I understand that without the help of the Dawn Planet and the Interstellar Banking Association, Parcel Argent would have suffered a complete defeat on the Christopher Sith planet. But now that the matter has been resolved,
Then I will naturally not punish him for this, and the Confederacy will naturally fully support the agreement between him and you. The planet Christophersis is already the sphere of influence of the Confederacy. It is naturally our obligation to protect this planet.
"
This is what Tang Xiao really wants to hear.
He understood that this was the compensation Count Dooku gave him—compensation for the incident where he was lured and kidnapped to the battleship Fang last time.
This is equivalent to acknowledging the vested interests of Planet Dawn and the Interstellar Banking Association on the planet Christophersis, and jointly pushing Parcel Argent to take the blame.
Fortunately, this battle was won, which made it less burdensome for Parcel Argent to shoulder the blame. Of course, his dream of making a lot of money on the planet Christophersis naturally came to nothing.
.
Tang Xiao smiled and asked casually: "What about the Venomous Fang? I haven't heard any news about it during this time."
"The existence of the Venomous Fang battleship is still highly confidential, so it is normal that you cannot learn about it from other channels. Of course, you are not within the scope of confidentiality. What I can tell you is that the Venomous Fang is currently in Hydia.
The activities on the space channel are under the personal command of General Grievous. His mission is to destroy the Republic's logistics supplies on the Hydia channel and prepare us for further combat operations." Count Dooku answered.
Tang Xiao nodded. The reason why he asked about the Venomous Fang was because he wanted to know how the super battleship was doing so that he could judge when the Galactic Republic would launch a combat operation to encircle and suppress the Venomous Fang in the plot.
He hopes to save the Fang. On the other hand, once the actions of the Fang attract the attention of the Republic, the actions of another super battleship will not be so eye-catching.
As a result, when he was still thinking about this matter, Count Dooku also mentioned this, "Actually, it is not enough to block the Hydia channel with the battleship Venomous Fang alone... So, I have a presumptuous idea.
I hope you can convey this request to Lord Death Angel. I hope his ship..."
"Plague." When Tang Xiao said this name, his face changed a little, and he seemed to be a little scared, and even his tone became a little lower.
It has to be said that one second on stage means ten years of hard work off stage. Ten years of hard work in performing have made his micro-expressions perfect.
"If Lord Necromancer can send the Plague to help, I think we will be more confident. Once we cut off the Hydia Channel, we will be able to launch another assault on the planet Kamino and cut off the Republic clones in one fell swoop
supply of soldiers." When Count Dooku said this, the evil look on his face was evident.
"I will convey it." Tang Xiao was a little scared and hesitant, but he still nodded and agreed.
