1299. The aging mercenary
"Zann Consortium became active more than ten or twenty years later? Lord Governor, what does this mean?" Yuri-Orlov asked in surprise.
Tang Xiao glanced at him and said, "Mandalore... Indeed, I have wanted to get involved there for a long time. I have never had any excuses, but now is indeed an opportunity. As for Zann Consortium, you don't have to worry too much. If what I saw in the Force is correct, they themselves will not live long."
Indeed, Zann Consortium did not become active until the era after Battle of Yavin 4, when Galactic Empire's super weapon Death Star was destroyed. At that time, the leader of Zann Consortium was a heroic figure - Tiber-Zayne, but now, Tiber-Zayne is just a child.
The current Zann Consortium is not called this name yet, it should be called Zann Remanufacturing (Zann Remanufacturing). Its main business is to recycle some old military retired and abandoned dilapidated spaceships, and then remove the parts from these spaceships for processing and convert them to civilian use. The boss of the company should be Tiber-Zayne's father, Old Zann.
So it's not surprising that Zann Remanufacturing now has business on Mandalore, which advocates peace. What's surprising is, how could they kill people?
You know, unlike Tiber-Zayne, who was cruel and cruel, started engaging in illegal smuggling activities and operating illegal card machines while studying in the Carrick Military Academy, and started engaging in gang activities immediately after being expelled from the college, his father Old Zann was still a serious businessman.
[PS: I checked and it is really a card flop machine. In the world of Star Wars, it is a card game called Sabacc]
"Your Majesty the Governor... But my brother..." Yuri-Orlov couldn't understand what Tang Xiao said, so he could only continue to ask.
Tang Xiao sneered and said, "I probably know why you are so desperate, because you, a weapons dealer, are definitely on the Mandalorian's blacklist, and you can't even enter their territory."
"I just want to save my brother... I know he is definitely still alive, I'm sure!" Yuri-Orlov said.
"Since your brother has become Duke Satine's consultant, his status is at least not low. It is indeed very strange that such a person is hunted down on the Mandalorian's territory. You must know that even New Mandalorian has put away his own Although he has his own fangs, those Mandalorian mercenaries are still continuing to write the Mandalorian's reputation. In this galaxy, there are really not many people who dare to touch the Mandalorian's bad luck..." Tang Xiao frowned.
Yuri-Orlov just looked at him.
Tang Xiao still frowned, "It's just that the current Mandalorian regime, under the leadership of Duke Satine, has extremely strong cohesion. We tried to penetrate it before, but It didn't succeed. And why is it Zayne? If it is Black Sun, then it can be said that something happened in advance... but why is it Zayne?"
Yuri-Orlov was completely confused and he couldn't answer a word.
Tang Xiao glanced at him again and said, "Okay, I understand. I will start operations at Mandalore. If I can find any clues about your brother, I will have someone bring him back."
"I owe you, Lord Governor." Yuri-Orlov said, "That's all I can say."
"Your situation is actually quite good now. I won't force you to return to Fourth Civilization. Just remember to give me a discount in the future." Tang Xiao waved his hand indifferently.
Yuri-Orlov didn't say much, bowed and closed the communication.
Tang Xiao thought for a long time, took out his communicator, and connected to a communication that he would hardly use.
The holographic image in front of him flickered for a while, and a powerful warrior with a broad face, a tall build, and a shaved head appeared. However, the deep wrinkles and nasolabial folds on his face showed that he was no longer at his peak age.
This person looks almost exactly like Galactic Republic clone army now.
There is no doubt that he is Jango-Fett. Hunter was once the strongest bounty in the galaxy. At the same time, he was also the leader of True Mandalorian.
In the original plot, he was supposed to die in Battle of Geonosis, but the intervention of Tang Xiao caused a huge deflection in the direction of the battle. Jango-Fett was also unintentionally taken away by Tang Xiao at that time, so he has lived until now.
However, because he joined the human cloning project, Jango-Fett got enough money to spend the rest of his life. At the same time, Kaminoans also cloned a clone for him without any growth acceleration procedures. He named the clone Boba Fett-Fett and raised it as his own son.
Now that they have money and a son, Jango-Fett's life goal is no longer the mercenary battlefield, but back to his family. What happened to Galidrong Campaign before also wiped out his last bit of goodwill and ambition towards the Mandalorian and Galactic Republic.
At least since the outbreak of the war until now, Jango-Fett has hardly accepted any employment commissions.
Seeing that the person who sent the communication was actually Tang Xiao, Jango-Fett frowned. His intuition told him that it must not be a simple matter for the unfathomable Governor of Dawn Star Planet in front of him to come to him in person.
However, he couldn't refuse directly. After all, Tang Xiao is now one of the most powerful figures among Confederacy of Independent Systems, and he himself now technically belongs to the people of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
"Your Majesty the Governor, may I ask... what do you want from me?" Jango-Fett asked warily.
"I have a commission for you. A high price." Tang Xiao said.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Governor, I've been... not in good health lately." Jango-Fett declined directly.
"Don't you want to hear the content of the commission?"
"Haha... I'm not in good health, so I can't do any commissions."
"It's about Mandalore."
"Oh, then I will not accept this commission. Mandalore has nothing to do with me anymore."
Tang Xiao said calmly, "This matter should involve Das-Sidious's former apprentice, Das-Maul, and also Death Watch. If nothing else, they are plotting to launch a coup and usurp the power of New Mandalorian, just recently."
Jango-Fett was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I... can't even be considered a the Mandalorian now..."
He paused again and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Governor." Then, he closed the communication directly.
Tang Xiao frowned and thought for a while, then connected to another communication. A person wearing a gray robe and an old man's mask was projected in the holographic projection - Hermit, Obi-Wan-Kenobi.
"Do you have anything to say to me about Mandalore's situation?" Tang Xiao asked directly.
"I can only say that no matter what you want to do in Mandalore, it is a very bad thing. The political significance of Mandalore to Galactic Republic will only be greater than you think." Hermit said lightly, "Galactic Republic and even Jedi Order will react very violently."
Tang Xiao originally wanted to use Duke Satine's story to convince him, but seeing Hermit's current situation, he suddenly gave up the idea. He closed the communication without saying much.
Then, he sat on the sofa, and for the first time since he hardly smoked, he lit a cigarette for himself and fell into deep thought.
