1292. Count Dooku's fear

Eastern Outer Rim, Outer Rim Territories, Raxus Prime, Confederacy Parliament buildings.

"... Ah, this is natural, Lord Governor Tang Xiao. I will naturally fully support Rendili system's war... Yes, I even asked her to come over to increase Sefrans-General Tann's war. I'm here to help you. You must know that without her restraint, Galactic Republic's counterattack in Eastern Territory star sector will be difficult to stop..." In the conference room, the majestic and rich voice of Count Dooku came.

What was projected in the holographic projection in front of him was the image of Tang Xiao.

After discussing with Tang Xiao for a while about the InterGalactic Banking Clan and Rendili StarDrive, Count Dooku closed the communication with a smile.

But then, his expression became solemn.

There is no doubt that the power of Tang Xiao and Dawn Star Planet is becoming more and more powerful, and even Confederacy of Independent Systems itself can no longer ignore the political, military and industrial group headed by Tang Xiao.

The current actual control area of Dawn Star Planet includes the entire jurisdiction of Modell Sector, all of the Republic 19th Army, and most of the jurisdiction of the Republic 18th Army. Among them are the core planets Hoth Planet and Eriadu.

After the InterGalactic Banking Clan split, the relationship between San-Ciel and Tang Xiao became even closer. Coupled with Fourth Group, who was originally an alliance, Dawn Star Planet had the two strongest allies. And now, Trade Federation is also very close to Dawn Star Planet. Now Trade Federation is secretly developing and building Endless-class Super Carrier, and it is said that Dawn Star Planet is behind it.

In addition, Corporate Alliance also has some flirtations with Dawn Star Planet, or the chairman of the Corporate Alliance, Parcell Argent, is a little afraid of Tang Xiao, so in most cases, Corporate Alliance at least will not go against Tang Xiao.

Then coupled with the Givin, Semirians and Celestian, these three races with developed industries also have a good relationship with Dawn Star Planet. They are almost an offensive and defensive alliance. Sothropp Corporation of Celestian naturally became an ally of Dawn Star Planet together with Salust.

There are more races and planets attached to Dawn Star Planet, Salarian, Gran, Dagg, Ixi-Tibu people, Caladanian, Indjori, Jabiim planet, Christophsis... These together are also a very powerful force.

Politically, Dawn Star Planet's Claire-Underwood are now Head of the Administrative Department of Confederacy of Independent Systems, and New Rim Faction's party whips Ainlee-Tim are also allies of Tang Xiao.

Moreover, Tang Xiao also has great influence on gangs and underground forces. White Worm Gang and Crimson Dawn from Corellian system have a close relationship with him. Several gangsters from Hutt Space, Ni Yongxiao's gang and Titan Security are also very powerful.

The power formed by the combination of these networks of relationships and forces is terrifying!

If you add Sith Lord Archangel of Death, Sith apprentice das-Lilim, and an unknown number of masters, then this force with Dawn Star Planet as the core is fully capable of dominating one side in the galaxy.

And now that is the case.

Although Dawn Star Planet and its jurisdiction nominally belong to Confederacy of Independent Systems, you must know that the last two words of Confederacy of Independent Systems - 'Confederacy of Independent Systems'! This means that all participating political entities are quite independent!

Now, even if Count Dooku wants Tang Xiao to do something, it must be done through discussion rather than direct orders.

Under such circumstances, if Rendili StarDrive becomes part of the political group of Dawn Star Planet, then as long as Tang Xiao is willing, I am afraid that the galaxy will immediately become a tripartite situation!

The strength has expanded to such an extent that Count Dooku has no choice but to guard against it.

Of course, Count Dooku is still confident that it can suppress Dawn Star Planet. After all, Dawn Star Planet's sphere of influence still tends to be in a corner and lacks the power to influence the core part of the galaxy. Moreover, Dawn Star Planet's sphere of influence is still too small. Whether it is the number of planets controlled, the number of people, or even the total industrial volume, there is a gap with Confederacy of Independent Systems, which currently controls the vast majority of Outer Rim Territories and at least half of Mid Rim Territories.

At least now that Rendili Planet has surrendered, the 600 billion people cannot be afforded by Dawn Star Planet. In fact, the communication just now was that Tang Xiao wanted to get the support of Confederacy of Independent Systems. After Sefrans-Tann opened the hyperspace channel, Confederacy of Independent Systems's exit was used to ensure Rendili Planet's huge material consumption.

With a population of 600 billion, the amount of food consumed every day is astronomical!

Moreover, if Rendili StarDrive's shipyard wants to operate at full capacity, it must import minerals and raw materials from Confederacy of Independent Systems.

These things are all the ropes Count Dooku puts around Tang Xiao's neck - at least that's what he thinks.

I need more power! Count Dooku frowned and thought to himself. Dawn Star Planet can still solve other aspects, but the biggest threat now is Archangel of Death!

Archangel of Death is Tang Xiao, and Count Dooku is eighty-nine points confirmed. And this is definitely not good news for him.

He has dealt with Archangel of Death several times, and he understands that Archangel of Death is no less terrifying than Darth-Sidious!

Once such a powerful Sith Lord is allowed to master such a powerful force, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Das-Sidious...

Count Dooku Close your eyes, it's over.

If Archangel of Death's greatest contribution to him is what it is, it is that it allowed him to understand Darth-Sidious's plan, allowing him to break away from his previous idealism and understand that there was no place for him in Darth-Sidious's plan.

Therefore, the relationship between myself and Das-Sidious is over.

In the past few months, Das-Sidious has not contacted him, so he must have understood this. Count Dooku himself also understands that Das-Sidious will abandon himself without hesitation, because he controls the entire Galactic Republic, and with the support of Kuat Drive Yards, he has no fear of any opponent.

As long as Galactic Republic's war power is developed, Confederacy of Independent Systems will not be an opponent at all.

The power on my side...Count Dooku is planning...

Sola-Balk, although his strength and swordsmanship are at the top level, he is also old. Asajj-Ventress, although her talent is amazing and powerful, as she continues to grow, she is also a little less obedient...

Others, such as Quinlan-Vos, Nikkos Thales, and Sato, although each has its own strength, there is still a big gap between them and the top Force-sensitive.

So, more power is needed now!

Count Dooku thought a lot, and then connected the communication between Sola-Balk.

"Master Sola-Balk, my friend." Count Dooku looked at the old Weequay Dark Jedi Knight in the projection and nodded.

"Master Dooku." Sola-Balk also nodded in greeting. His long-term relationship with Count Dooku began when they were Jedi Order, so although they are both fallen to the Dark Side now, they still call each other masters.
