2185. Amazing news
"Anjiliac family?" Tang Xiao thought for a while and didn't have much impression of the Hutt family. He looked down at the family's information and pondered, "Black Harbor? Shadow Dawn? What is their relationship with Crimson Dawn?"
Ling Liang shook his head and replied, "It doesn't matter, it's just that the names are the same. Moreover, it is an assassin organization, these dead soldiers and killers hired by Hutt all over the galaxy, and it has nothing to do with Crimson Dawn. Anjiliac family's actions have always been relatively low-key, and they belong to one of the oldest families of Hutt Space. Will they abandon the old order so resolutely and join the new upstart Goresla Family? I have reservations about this."
"Send a team of Ghost Agent to Hutt Space to find out what Anjiliac family is doing." Tang Xiao said, "Also, Jabba is still not found?"
"No." Ling Liang said, "No, he is missing. Not only that, even his nephew Gorga is also missing. Gorga has always been Desilijic kajidic's accountant and is in charge of financial power. His disappearance also took away most of Desilijic kajidic's wealth."
"You mean, if such a large amount of money flows to other places, it may be detrimental to us?" Tang Xiao said.
"There is no doubt about it. Moreover, Jabba has been colluding with Palpatine. If he took this wealth, coupled with his connections in the underground criminal world and the smuggling network, and defected to the Galactic Empire, I am afraid that the pressure on Trade Federation will be even greater." Ling Liang said.
"Oruba is such a loser! He actually let Jabba run away under such circumstances!" Tang Xiao said viciously, "Let Military Intelligence Department chase! Send Salarian special forces out as well. No matter life or death, I only need to see Jabba come to me!"
"I'll arrange it immediately." Ling Liang nodded.
"By the way, can the location of Black Harbor be found? Are there any of our agents there? If necessary, if Anjiliac family is really disobedient, then blow up Black Harbor." Tang Xiao said.
Ling Liang said, "The structure of Black Harbor is very strong and has a diameter of more than 100 kilometers. Unless we send a fleet over, we can't destroy it. However, we did have a lot of people infiltrate inside Black Harbor. It is a free port. It's actually easy. But... it's almost impossible to get the most confidential information about Black Harbor and Anjiliac family. After all, they have been relying on smuggling and assassination for thousands of years. But... we have obtained a unique piece of information."
"Say."
"The actual speaker of Anjiliac family is named Tee-Doran. She is not Hutt, but a Wroonian." Ling Liang said.
"Interesting... keep an eye on her." Tang Xiao nodded, "Anyway, now, we need to increase our intelligence investment in Hutt Space,"
After that, Tang Xiao talked with the three major Sector Governors: Ling Liang, BIG-BOSS, Volgograd-Kanidi respectively about the recent Duchy of Dawn domestic affairs and the advancement of Operation Zero.
After the meeting, Tang Xiao returned to the Duchy Palace. He nodded casually at Adele-Ulan who came to greet him, and turned to look in the direction of the study. At this time, his two children Tang Xing and Tang Yun should be studying cultural courses.
Tang Xiao waved his hand to signal Adele-Ulan to step back, and he strolled towards the study.
His movements were so subtle that neither the teacher nor the two children in the study noticed his arrival. At this moment, the lecture has ended and the two children are doing classwork.
Tang Xiao ducked behind Tang Yun and saw the little girl concentrating on her homework. Today's course is politics. For a family like Grand Duke of Dawn, it should be considered a royal family. They value politics very highly, and many of them are linked to reality.
What Tang Yun is writing is an analysis of the connection between Trade Federation and Galactic Republic in the Outer Rim Territories ruling system. Although the content she writes is still relatively superficial, it can be seen that she is far ahead of her peers in this regard.
Tang Xiao nodded and turned to look at Tang Xing... However, his expression instantly turned gloomy. Tang Xing, at this moment, he is secretly drawing under the table!
Tang Xiao snorted coldly. In the study room, the teacher and the two children noticed him. The teacher quickly bowed his head and saluted. Tang Xiao waved his hand to tell him to get out of here. Tang Yun bowed to Tang Xiao politely and said, "Father."
Tang Xing looked up at Tang Xiao's expression and knew something was wrong. He tried to hide the painting he drew, but Tang Xiao just raised his hand gently and the paper flew into his hand.
After looking at it, I saw that it was a landscape painting, but the scenery was a bit blurry. It was more like an intention than a specific object.
Tang Xiao the Force moved slightly, and the drawing paper immediately turned into fly ash and completely dissipated.
Tang Xing's body trembled. According to the memories Tang Xiao brought to him, the next step would be a very serious punishment.
But unexpectedly, Tang Xiao did not do this. He just walked to the place where the teacher was standing, looked down at the two children, and said coldly, "Twenty years ago, what I thought was to use the sacrifice and struggle of our generation to finish all the battles that should be fought. In this way, our next generation should be able to live a better life." Very happy. But after 20 years, I understand that this is impossible. Your generation is destined to be involved in the war. Even if we can defeat Galactic Empire, the war will still last for a long time... Maybe it will not end when you are my age. "
He observed the expressions of the two children. Tang Yun sat upright and listened carefully. However, Tang Xing just bit his lower lip, looking embarrassed.
Tang Xiao raised two fingers and continued, "You need to remember two things about war. First, you can never escape the coming of war, especially when you are born here and become my children, then in the foreseeable future, countless disputes will surround you. Hide? That is impossible, because even if you hide at the edge of the galaxy, you will still be dragged out and thrown into the furnace of war."
He retracted his middle finger and said, "As for the second point, if you need to face a war, then in the war, if you are not the winner, then you must be the loser. There is no middle, there is no so-called neutrality. Either you kill the enemy, or the enemy kills you... War is that simple."
His sharp eyes pierced Tang Xing directly, and his tone became extremely cold, "War is not just a fight between guns and warships. War also includes economics, politics, humanities, geography, physics, chemistry, everything, everything that can be used to harm the enemy. You will use all the means to strengthen yourself without any scruples. So, what do you think the cultural lesson I want you to learn is war. If you cannot win the war, then your enemy will defeat you and destroy you... or even use you as a weapon to harm us.
Tang Xiao walked over and stood directly in front of Tang Xing. His terrible pressure made Tang Xing unable to even stand. He took a few steps back and fell to the ground with a thud. He said coldly, "These courses are to teach you how to protect yourself! At the same time, they are also to protect us Duchy of Dawn! Do you think it is me who you are lazy and neglectful? No, you are just neglecting your own life and the entire Duchy of Dawn 800 billion people! So now, I will give you a chance to tell me what you think."
As he spoke, he turned around and returned to the podium.
Tang Yun raised his hand and replied loudly, "From the moment I became your father's daughter, my status was destined. I will be my father's best helper in the war!"
Tang Xing gritted his teeth and raised his hands and said, "This war... I, I will try my best... No, I will try my best."
Tang Xiao looked at Tang Xing coldly and said, "I will issue an order right away. The teacher of this class will be deprived of all positions and all property will be confiscated, including, of course, his entire family. They will become one of the few beggars on Dawn Star Planet, and no company will ever dare to hire them. They will spend the rest of their lives starving... just because he failed to let you study well."
Tang Xing raised his head suddenly and said, "Father, this... I'm sorry... I... I..."
However, all he saw was the back of Tang Xiao, and the last words he left behind, "This is another lesson I will teach you today - learn to be responsible for your own actions. Because for people like you, every move and every move will affect the fate of countless people."
Tang Yun looked at Tang Xing with gloating, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, brother, at least I won't let you starve. Hehehehe..."
Adele-Ulan is waiting for Tang Xiao outside the door at the moment. She has seen everything that happened in the study just now. But she has the same opinion as Tang Xiao about Tang Xing. She thinks this child is too cowardly and too introverted.
Cowardice and introversion are not heinous shortcomings, but as the son of Grand Duke of Dawn, he must not be cowardly or introverted!
She walked a few steps to Tang Xiao and whispered, "I'm sorry, Master... I will continue to strengthen my requirements for Tang Xing."
Tang Xiao said coldly, "If he never succeeds, then before the enemy uses his weakness to deal with us, I will deal with it as a hidden danger. By then, his fate will be deposed and exiled. Keeping him alive is the greatest kindness I can bestow for the sake of family affection."
Adele-Ulan felt shuddering in his heart, even a little frightened.
Only then did she understand that although Tang Xiao's personality was less irritable and changeable during this period, the darkness deep in his heart had not diminished at all.
He is still the same Tang Xiao - the careerist who is willing to sacrifice everything for the hegemony of the galaxy.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that people wanted to escape. Adele-Ulan had to quickly change the topic and said, "Leia is training with the Force. Do you... go and take a look?"
She regretted saying this. If there is any name that Adele-Ulan is absolutely unwilling to mention, then it is definitely Leia.
But it was too late now, Tang Xiao nodded and walked towards the garden behind the Duchy Palace.
Adele-Ulan could only continue to talk about this topic, "Leia, the child, has made great progress recently. She is a very obedient... very serious child." She tried to put herself in the mother's perspective to talk to Tang Xiao about Leia.
However, Tang Xiao's footsteps stopped. He looked back at Adele-Ulan, with a meaningful smile on his lips. But in Adele's opinion, this smile could only make her feel terrified.
"Do your own thing well, play your own role well, and don't... go too far. You should know what I want to say." Tang Xiao said coldly.
Adele-Ulan fell to his knees as soon as his body went limp, and said quickly, "I'm sorry, Master... I... I didn't..."
Fortunately, at this time, the communicator on Tang Xiao received a message, which at least relieved Adele-Ulan's current desperate situation. But she immediately became curious as to what kind of information could be sent directly to Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao waved his hand, turned and left Duchy Palace.
Adele-Ulan then breathed a long sigh of relief. She felt that the clothes on her back were soaked with cold sweat and she was in a miserable state.
Tang Xiao, Dictator, Tyrant, Sith Lord, all of this will never change whether he gets rid of the influence of Dark Side on his emotions.
This is why, although she and Tang Xiao are husband and wife, she never dares to call her husband only 'master'.
Tang Xiao walked quickly and arrived at the Duchy Palace's combat conference room in less than ten minutes. At this moment, inside the holographic projection, Chief of Staff Qi Jian, Minister of Defense Cheng Shitao, Prime Minister's Office Secretary-General Hari Seldon, Commander of the Navy Matt-Hona, Army General Xian Hui, Sector Governor Sethvenna Ling Liang and several other top military cores have participated in the meeting remotely through hyperspace communication.
In the holographic projection on the other side, there are Commander, Lieutenant General He Ru of First Exploration Fleet. He said solemnly, "Grand Duke, we just received a message from Shepard. It's very urgent."
"Say it immediately!" Tang Xiao said seriously.
He Ru nodded and said, "Shepard Commander told me that they are now at Crakull planet." As he spoke, he marked the navigation coordinates sent by Shepard on the holographic star map.
Tang Xiao Looking at the star map, the red light spot is located very deep into Unknown Regions, or in other words, very close to the edge of the Milky Way plane star map Western Reaches, corresponding to the middle and rear section of the cantilever.
He frowned, "Shepard She ran so far?"
He Ru said, "That's right. Her current location is almost close to the core planet of Meng Gal-Meng Gal, Moog-Faror..."
