"Close..." Upon hearing Darth Malthael's words, Newt Gunray fell to the ground, and the Neimoidian's flounder-like face even wrinkled up.
"how do you know!!"
Darth Malthael was still drinking wine leisurely, "Of course I know, because you are the...switch of war that Darth Sidious hid. Since the Eriadu Business Summit, B-
1 After the riots among the battle robots, you naturally installed this entry mechanism and command on all newly produced robots."
"This... this is... an emergency system for safety reasons." Newt Gunray still had a sense of luck. Because this matter was indeed his biggest secret, and as the relevant design engineers were killed by him
Silence, there should be only two people in the entire galaxy who know about this switch!
Him, and Darth Sidious.
But now, how on earth did this deceased angel know?!
"Let me tell you a story, Newt Gunray." Darth Malthael said slowly: "The war between the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems will last two to three years."
He glanced at Newt Gunray, whose body was still shaking violently.
"But this war is fruitless for both sides. For the Confederacy, their strength will not be able to shake the Galactic Republic after all. The productivity gap between the two sides is too big. When the industrial world of the Republic is operating at full capacity, a steady stream of
The battleships will completely overwhelm the poor and backward planets of the Confederacy, not to mention... the existence of Jedi Knights." Darth Malthael said.
"But it is not easy for the Galactic Republic to defeat the Confederacy. The Confederacy of Independent Systems with thousands of star systems and the help of super enterprises such as the Trade Federation cannot be underestimated, especially when the frontline battle is defeated and faced with a life-or-death situation.
situation." Darth Malthael glanced at Newt Gunray, "In order to cope with powerful enemies and rapidly changing situations, the Galactic Republic will continue to invest funds, expand the scale of debt, and expand the army more and more, and
, the Speaker of the Parliament will also use emergency ruling powers again and again to save the Galactic Republic from danger."
"So under such circumstances, the originally loose and corrupt bureaucracy of the Galactic Republic began to become more efficient, and power became more centralized. Industry and military began to become the main core of the Republic. The Republic used war as an excuse to suppress the civilians of various planets.
, creating a high-pressure atmosphere and putting the entire regime on a fast track."
"Then...as long as he finds a way to get rid of the Jedi Order, he is not far away from his goal - the Galactic Empire. However, if he wants to become the emperor, his reputation is still one step away. He not only has to win the support of civilians,
What’s more, we need to win the support of the oligarchic class. Yes, I’m talking about the industrial giants such as Quart, Corellia, and Nubia..."
Hearing that Darth Malthael did not mention the names of the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association, Newt Gunray's mouth twitched.
"For the people, he needs a significant enough result. Defeating the Confederacy of Independent Systems, ending the civil war, and reunifying the galaxy is the best unparalleled feat! Why is this feat so important? Because everyone can see it
The strength of the Confederation of Independent Systems and its superiority in the early stages of the war implanted fear in everyone's heart. Everyone understands that it will take at least several years or even decades to defeat the Confederation of Independent Systems... But...
What if he can do it immediately?" Darth Malthael glanced at Newt Gunray and then said.
"Because he had prepared a backup plan and a switch for this day. As long as he entered the password, the Confederacy of Independent Systems would immediately lose all its troops and then be defeated in a short time, giving this man supreme glory! Because he
He has accomplished something that no one else can do. He is the wisest and most powerful person in this galaxy... So, if he becomes emperor again at this time, will anyone stop him?"
Darth Malthael smiled coldly. The lightsaber was in his hand at some point. With a swish sound, the blood-red plasma blade stopped less than 1 centimeter in front of Newt Gunray's eyes!
"Tell me, should I destroy this switch?" Darth Malthael didn't even look at Gunray. He was still sitting on the seat, with his legs crossed and a wine glass in his other hand.
His voice was as eerie as a demon in the abyss.
With a pop, Newt Gunray fell to his knees, trembling all over, but unable to say a word.
Fear has completely dominated his heart.
However, Darth Malthael put away his lightsaber and continued: "My story is not over yet. Defeating the Confederation of Independent Systems and unifying the galaxy can only win the support of ordinary civilians. And those powerful oligarchs,
They don't care about this...they want something more direct."
"Money, yes. Interests, very good. Power, perfect." Darth Malthael said slowly, "But the cake of the Milky Way has been divided. Although the civil war is over, the cake of the Confederacy of Independent Systems has been divided.
The cake is still the same as before, there is no change. If you want to divide the cake, someone must be out..."
He looked at Newt Gunray and sneered: "Are the people who were eliminated the Kuat who made great contributions to the war? Are they Corellia or Nubia? No, because they have continued to expand during the war.
The industrial strength has long exceeded that of the other planets in the galaxy combined. Those who are eliminated... are naturally the war criminals who started the war."
Newt Gunray gritted his teeth and said: "This is impossible! I ended the war! If it hadn't been for me, the war would have continued!"
Darth Malthael looked at him with pity, "Who knows?"
Newt Gunray was stunned as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.
"As long as all the insiders, including the leaders of the Confederation of Independent Systems, are killed, no one will know the truth of this manipulated war. The rest is to try war criminals and use money, interests and power to
Come and buy his own life... spit out the cake he has eaten and give it to those he needs to win over." Darth Malthael slowly lifted his hood, revealing his true face, "As for
Things like killing people...the Jedi Order would naturally be happy to do it."
"You...you...you..." Newt Gunray kept backing away as if he saw a man-eating monster, then sat down on the ground and raised his trembling fingers to point at the powerful, dark Sith opposite.
