"Your Highness! We can't hold on any longer!" Newt Gunray, the Governor of the Trade Alliance in the Grand Duke's Mansion on the Dawn Planet, knelt down in front of Tang Xiao with tears streaming down his face, hugged his thigh and cried loudly.
"Wealth...all the Wealth planets have fallen, and now only the Balmorra planet is left!!"
"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 when the city came to town? Then you should blow up all those bridge cities! Let Darth Vader bathe with those treasures in the ravine!"
"I really don't dare to blow 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 kill Balmer."
The planet Ra and Neimoidia were blown to the ground, leaving none of us Neimoidians alive..."
Tang Xiao could tell that Newt Gunray was really crying this time, because he was truly at the end of his rope.
After nearly a year of attacks, the Trade Alliance has basically completely collapsed within the Galactic Empire. Their planets in the core circle and inner ring were besieged, fell or surrendered, while their planets in the middle and outer rings were besieged.
Most of the planets saw the bad situation and left the trade alliance.
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 Federation were basically invested in other companies.
and the embrace of the consortium.
Of course, it must be said that the Fourth Group also participated in it and occupied many trade alliance planets. Bah! No, this cannot be called invasion, 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 foundation of the Trade Alliance is completely destroyed. If they want to continue to develop
, then we 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 then 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 will lose face in front of the entire galaxy. Not only that, all Neimoidians will regard him as a shame, and he will become
Race, the sinner of 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?"
"On the planet Neimoidia, there are a total of 4 billion civilians, and 3 billion have completed the evacuation. According to your instructions, they have been temporarily resettled on the planet Rendili, waiting for further processing." Newt Gunray said with pleading eyes.
He looked at Tang 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. Evacuation is not difficult."
"But... there are 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, Lord Grand Duke! We can no longer bear the pain of losing the planets of Balmorra and Neimoidia."
Tang Xiao shook his head with a stone heart and said: "This is impossible. Ever since the Galactic Empire 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, you want to
What I am thinking about 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 weakened every strong bone in his body that was not many in the first place.
"Delay for another two months, and I will directly give you a livable planet." Tang Xiao directly made the bid.
Yes, the planet Neimoidia doesn't 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 down a written instruction." Tang Xiao raised another finger and added: "At the same time, I will try my best to influence Palpatine's decision-making and prevent the Neimoidians from suffering any consequences.
The massacre order was changed to an expulsion order."
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... The Grand Duke, Neimoidia
The future of mankind now lies with you..."
…
11BBY, March 24th.
The largest and last wealth planet of the Trade Federation, Cato-Neimoidia, completely fell under the attack of the most elite force of the Galactic Empire, Vader's Fist - the 501st Legion.
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 abyss of 10,000 meters. Now, the Empire's rescue forces are trying to rescue as many people as possible.
Property originally kept in the Bridge City Treasury.
All of this is 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 undergoing a final inventory. After the inventory is completed, it will be returned to everyone.
As for the inevitable losses, the Galactic Empire said 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 Alliance issued a response: Refuse to surrender!
And the Trade Federation released a large number of combat videos, which showed 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! Moreover, the actual fall time of Zara City was later than that released by the Galactic Empire.
The time is 5 hours early!
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, Palpatine thought, I will spare your lives, you will take the blame for Zara City, and everyone will be happy. But now Newt Gunray is so ignorant, he suddenly became furious and ordered Darth Vader,
