"Fear is not enough. This is the reason why Suramar's 19th Army failed..." Wilhuff Tarkin turned his head slightly, turning to the holographic projection of Darth Sidious and said slowly, "We
We need to put fear back into the heart of Planet Dawn."
"I only care about when the Dawn Planet will be destroyed." Darth Sidious asked.
"I need five years." Wilhuff Tarkin answered directly.
"I don't have 5 years to give you!"
"If that's the case, I can only say that this is not a rational choice." Tarkin shook his head.
"Then tell me, how many battleships do you need?" Darth Sidious asked.
"500 Jaeger-class ships." Tarkin directly reported a number.
"Under the current circumstances, this is a very outrageous number!" Darth Sidious was a little unhappy.
"Our enemy is not just the Dawn Planet. The power of separatism is our main threat at present. I am talking about the Confederation of Independent Systems." Tarkin replied, "If we lack sufficient power, we will not be able to destroy the enemy.
confidence, then the losses of the war will be extremely expanded."
"The Confederacy of Independent Systems...maybe it is true...hehehehe..." Darth Sidious laughed for a while, "Maybe..."
"Actually, at this stage, I do not recommend attacking the Dawn Planet. This is not in line with our strategy." Tarkin said.
"Do your own thing, Tarkin. Of course I have my own considerations." Darth Sidious said.
"Is it another supernatural power like the Force? In my opinion, this power cannot be used to establish the power we expect." Tarkin said.
"Now you will use such power. Suramar was killed in his own mansion, under heavy protection, and you will not want to follow in his footsteps." Darth Sidious said, "
I will have the Jedi Order send two Jedi Masters to protect your safety, use them well."
"Then it's best to have two humans. I'm not too interested in non-human races." Tarkin did not object this time, but said lightly.
"I will be waiting for news from you, Wilhuff Tarkin, my friend." Darth Sidious finished speaking and cut off the communication.
Wilhuff Tarkin then turned around, came to his desk, and flipped through the files on the desk. He could see that it was full of information about the Dawn Planet and the 19th Army.
His expression gradually became serious, and he pressed the communication button and said: "Send more manpower. I want to know all the information about the Dawn Planet, including how many meals their civilians eat a day and what their staple food is. I want to know everything."
"yes!"
Tarkin then walked out of his office with his hands behind his back, and a group of heavily armed elite guards immediately stepped forward to follow him. Tarkin still said nothing, just walked forward with his head held high, his long military boots hitting the clean and tidy floor.
It made a crisp sound, echoing in this busy but quiet corridor.
He went all the way down and came to a cell closed by a laser fence. He only saw one person sitting inside. He was locked with more than a dozen shackles and could only maintain a sitting posture.
And what is very scary is that his head is fixed by a complex machine, and his eyes are always kept open by two small mechanical hands. His eyes are round and bloodshot, his tears have long dried up, and the lens that has not received moisture has begun to dry up.
.
There were a large number of needle holes on his arms, which were the result of being injected with various veritaserum and hallucinogens. But what was even more frightening was that the bones in the back of his head were completely opened, and his brain was directly exposed.
When he came out, a special torture robot was piercing various parts of his brain with long, electrified steel needles on its several robotic arms.
Apart from anything else, the torture robot itself, if word got out, would be enough for Tarkin to be accused by those Republic congressmen who advocated democracy and human rights for the rest of his life.
Although he had been tortured to the point of being reduced to a human form, he could still recognize that this man was Colonel Lott, the former intelligence chief of the 19th Army of the Republic.
Now Colonel Lott has almost completely lost the ability to speak. He relies on a device that is directly cut into his throat and implanted to record the vibration of his vocal cords to form written language.
Tarkin came to the torture robot and looked at all the information he got from Colonel Lott after this period of torture. After looking through it, it was not of much value, so he said to the torture robot: "It's still not complete. From now on.
He dug out every second when he analyzed the intelligence of the Dawn Planet. I want to know every detail. If we can't know how the Dawn Planet passed us such fatal false information, what happened to the 19th Army?
, will happen again with our 18th Army."
The dozens of electronic eyes on the head of the torture robot flickered, and he spoke quickly in the robot's unique language. Tarkin looked at the translator and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I don't care whether this person is alive, as long as he can give
Just what I want.”
After saying that, he turned around and left directly surrounded by the guards.
…
"Stand at attention! Fire a salute! Salute!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The heavy gun salute roared rhythmically, firing a total of 99 rounds.
The honor guard of the Fourth Civilization were all dressed in black military uniforms and lined up on both sides with solemn expressions.
Tang Xiao was also wearing a black governor's uniform, with numerous medals pinned to his chest. The most conspicuous one was when he first encountered the pirate Tieya Kuken. He went to the front line to fight in person, and then the military followed
A standard second-level stellar medal, this medal also has special meaning to him.
He personally supported the coffin of Marshal Igor Zavalov and walked forward slowly. There were a group of honor guard soldiers in front and behind, marching together in uniform steps.
Tang Xiao looked at the body of Marshal Igor Zavalov, who was placed in the anti-gravity crystal coffin, and shook his head slightly.
"If you are willing, I can resurrect you and give you a long life..." A few days ago, Tang Xiao said this in front of the hospital bed of Marshal Igor Zavalov, who was unable to speak.
However, Igor Zavalov just held Tang Xiao tightly with his rough hands, shook his head firmly, then gently patted the back of Tang Xiao's hand, and ended with a smile.
This made Tang Xiao feel powerless for the first time after awakening the power of death. He vaguely discovered that sometimes, death does not seem so absolute...
In this world, there may be many things beyond death...
