2234. The End of Lord of War (Part 2)
"Newt Gunray, this idiot!" Tang Xiao gritted his teeth, but he also knew that the sacrifice of Yuri-Orlov was not to blame on Trade Federation. In fact, in the final analysis, Yuri died for Fourth Civilization.
If he had not considered Fourth Civilization's strategic layout and Yuri-Orlov's shrewdness, he would not have been able to touch the hot potato of Trade Federation. It can even be said that if Yuri-Orlov had not provided Trade Federation with a large number of weapons and equipment, Trade Federation trapped in Wealth World might have been defeated by the Galactic Empire in one landing.
Tang Xiao rubbed his forehead. At this moment, his heart was full of emotions, and even a deep sadness welled up in his heart.
Yuri-Orlov was one of the first people he woke up, and Legendary figure was only a little later than Cun Te. When I wanted to wake him up, Tang Xiao felt extremely afraid. The main reason was that I was worried that Yuri-Orlov lacked a sense of belonging to Fourth Civilization - businessmen are profit-seeking, and Fourth Civilization at that time obviously did not have this.
So many things happened after that, Yuri-Orlov has been secretly supporting. Starting from supporting Gaddula-Besadi to resist Jabba, then leading to the battle of Cerean civil war, and then Planet Tis, Yuri-Orlov all played an important role in it.
The arms trade network spread by Yuri-Orlov initially sold Fourth Civilization's outdated live ammunition assault rifles to chaotic planets like Tatooine, and then went to industrially developed places like Corellia to purchase more advanced equipment. Gradually, Fourth Civilization's arms trade system was established.
It can be said that when it first started to develop, Fourth Civilization had many weapons and equipment brought by Yuri-Orlov.
Even later, when Fourth Civilization's industrial system was established and weapons and equipment became self-sufficient, Yuri-Orlov still played a significant role. His arms trade brought extra income to Fourth Civilization, solved some of the backward and redundant production capacity, and played a role in balancing the power of the two warring parties in some conflict zones in the galaxy.
Later, we dealt with the obsolete equipment that had been retired. In addition to generating income, it also saves maintenance costs. More importantly, the more weapons flow into the black market, the more unstable the political situation over Galactic Empire will be.
Even now, Yuri-Orlov are more providing weapon support to the Rebel Alliance everywhere. For example, he provided at least 100,000 Blaster rifle to the uprising on the agricultural planet Lafa that was very violent last year.
It can be said that although Yuri-Orlov claimed that he had different ideas from Fourth Civilization and Tang Xiao and insisted on leaving, in fact, he never left.
Underneath that bohemian and cynical appearance is a goal-oriented and the Will determined heart.
"I will avenge you, Yuri..." Tang Xiao whispered, his eyes flashing with golden light, power of the Dark Side became more and more powerful, and the dark smoke could almost be seen on him, "Hehehehe... Aden-Lin, no matter what her purpose is in participating in this matter, she will inevitably be buried with you!!"
His laughter was full of darkness and terrifying.
Mandalore, the capital is Sundari City.
In a hidden residence, Vitaly-Orlov looked at the communicator in his hand in a daze. He kept this posture for half an hour.
Unknowingly, tears were already covering my cheeks.
"You are really... an idiot, brother..." Vitaly-Orlov murmured.
"What happened?" came a female voice behind him.
Vitaly-Orlov wiped away his tears and turned around. Standing behind him was Bo-Katan-Kryze! The sister of the former Grand Duke of Mandalore Satine-Kryze, the leader of the Death Watch branch organization Night Owls, and now nominally, she is also the current Grand Duke of Mandalore.
But now Bo-Katan-Kryze is still wearing the combat armor of Night Owls, and hiding in this narrow room with several cronies including Vitaly-Orlov. It is obvious that she is not enjoying the status and power brought to her by Grand Duke of Mandalore.
"My brother...Yuri-Orlov was killed by the Galactic Empire." Vitaly-Orlov said.
Bo-Katan-Kryze's face changed slightly, then he sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Vitaly. Don't worry, we will all stand by your side..."
"I think I need to leave Mandalore for a while." Vitaly-Orlov said.
Bo-Katan-Kryze frowned, "Are you leaving now? Vitaly, we need you here. You used to be my sister's advisor, and she recognized your abilities very much. Moreover, we are now in the midst of internal and external troubles, and your organization and activities are indispensable."
Vitaly-Orlov shook his head firmly and said, "I have to leave. I will go to Tatooine first. Although my brother was killed, the things he left behind are still there. I need to go and see if I can do something..."
"Do you want to inherit your brother's business and become an arms dealer?" Bo-Katan asked.
Vitaly-Orlov shook his head again, "I will not participate in arms trafficking. I am very sure of this. But if I have learned anything during the years of following Duke Satine, it is that unarmed peace is false. We also received weapons and equipment from my brother before, although not much, but it is also an important source. Now, what I need to ensure is that this supply line will not be cut off at least."
Bo-Katan thought for a while, finally nodded, and said, "I understand. You go deal with your brother's affairs. If you need my help in any way, just ask."
Vitaly squeezed out a forced smile and said, "No need, you, the Grand Duke, are the one who is under the greatest pressure. Pre-Vizsla are going crazy now, and those Super Soldiers of the Restoration Army's actions have become more and more rampant in recent months. The next civil war of Mandalore is not far away. And what we have to do..."
Bo-Katan nodded, interrupted Vitaly, and said the second half of the sentence for him, "... What we have to do is to find out who the enemy is. Only by finding the right enemy can we find the right friends. The fate of the planet will be left to the people to choose."
Vitaly-Orlov took a deep breath, raised his hood to cover his face, and walked out quickly.
Bo-Katan-Kryze returned to the house and said to those who were discussing, "Okay, let's make a long story short. Vitaly-Orlov will leave us temporarily, He may go to Hutt Space, but our established policy remains unchanged, secretly increasing our strength, and not participating in the struggle between the Mandalorian Restoration Army and Pre-Vizsla."
