"Promise in person..." Orson-Krennic fell silent.
I have to say, this plan is very tempting. Because what he is most worried about now is that the construction plan of Death Star cannot be completed as scheduled... He got rid of Wilhuff-Tarkin. On the surface, this was a political victory, but in fact, he had to pay a price.
Who is Tarkin? If you don't count Darth-Vader, who is deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, the next two leading figures in Imperial military are Wilhuff-Tarkin and Dunn-Vesex. It is impossible to defeat a person of this level, so he must get His Majesty the Emperor's personal instructions.
When Orson-Krennic asked Palpatine to kick Wilhuff-Tarkin out of the DS-1 project, he made a guarantee. If the work could not be completed as scheduled, then what was waiting for him would be his death, and there would be no price to negotiate.
What's more, Wilhuff-Tarkin did not completely leave the DS-1 project. The "civilian space station construction plan" he was responsible for actually involved Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance. As long as it is related to the Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance, it must be a very confidential big project, at least the leader of the Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance, Orman-Tagge, is such a great success man. It is impossible for him to take out an ordinary project and involve people of Wilhuff-Tarkin level.
When Tarkin completes that project and the DS-1 combat space station is handed over to Scarif, then he will come back here to supervise and be responsible for the installation and testing of the DS-1 weapon system.
By that time, if he had not made any outstanding achievements in the construction process of DS-1, then it would be obvious to the naked eye that he would definitely be brutally attacked by Tarkin at that time!
Therefore, the proposal put forward by Poggle-the inferior is indeed very tempting. If there are more Geonosians workers, the construction progress will definitely speed up.
Geonosians workers have an advantage, that is, because they have a basic hive consciousness, these workers grow extremely fast, and they will absorb enough basic knowledge through the hive consciousness during the growth process, and because they still retain the ability to think independently, they are much more flexible than engineering robots.
This is definitely much more efficient than recruiting workers from elsewhere, retraining, and rearranging them. And most importantly, there are no security risks caused by large-scale recruitment.
"So, Emperor Karina, she will enter a period of weakness due to large-scale production. She is worried about safety issues, so she needs my face-to-face commitment?" Orson-Krennic frowned, "Can't I communicate with her alone?"
"After all, she is the symbol of our clan. Please go there in person to show your respect for her. She is also determined to make sacrifices for the cause of the Empire." Poggle-Inferior replied humbly.
Orson-Krennic thought for a while, stood up and said, "Okay! Then I will accept your explanation and temporarily pardon those who rioted. There will be no next time."
After saying that, he waved his hand and saw in the holographic projection that the Geonosians workers who were suffering in the hypoxic environment and were already dying finally regained sufficient oxygen. They began to breathe heavily, fearing that they would miss a breath.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of the Empire Stormtrooper rushed in from outside the projection screen and arrested all these workers.
"In the next month, the workload of this group of workers will be doubled. Otherwise, they will be shot on the spot." Orson-Krennic felt that Poggle-lower class and Emperor Karina had surrendered, he said proudly.
Then, he saw dozens of the Empire soldiers wearing black combat armor walking in and standing behind him.
This is the personal guard of Death Guard, Orson-Krennic. They are all the most elite Clone Trooper, and the thick black combat armor is also the latest light power armor produced by Rothana Heavy Engineering. Every soldier of Death Guard has super combat power that is one to ten. If it is Geonosians, it is probably one to one hundred.
Death Guard is actually loyal to Emperor Palpatine. Therefore, once anything happens to Orson-Krennic, these Death Guard soldiers will immediately knock their heads off.
Since he has to see Emperor Karina in person, Orson-Krennic will naturally not relax his vigilance on himself. With this team of Death Guard here, even ten thousand more of those Geonosians would never get close to me.
Poggle-The inferior finally breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and followed Orson-Krennic towards the bridge door of Ravager.
However, after taking a few steps, Orson-Krennic's footsteps suddenly stopped. Poggle-lower man stopped standing and almost bumped into Krennic.
Looking up, he only saw two people in black robes standing in front of Orson-Krennic!
They were wearing black robes, with hoods covering their heads and faces, and their hands in their sleeves, as if they were always clasping their hands. Even standing here, it exudes a chilling aura!
Poggle-The inferior knows that these two people have been standing behind Orson-Krennic since just now, but even if he knows, he doesn't know why, but he always ignores their existence.
And, when did they suddenly appear in front of Krennic?
"Do you have anything to say? Dark Prophet Your Excellencies." Orson-Krennic asked with a frown.
"If I were you, I would stop this stupid thing." The male Dark Prophet said.
"With such an obvious trap, even without the Force's foresight, you can still notice something is wrong..." Female Dark Prophet mocked.
Just now, Orson-Krennic, who was just glad that Poggle-lower person agreed without too much doubt, now only feels as if a bucket of ice water has been poured from head to toe!
Almost his whole body became stiff, and his heart seemed to have stopped beating!
Orson-Krennic turned around, his expression obviously changed, and he asked coldly, "Is that so? Archduke Poggle."
"What a... nonsense... nonsense!!" Poggle-The inferior man was already a little incoherent. He stammered, "The Queen... Your Majesty the King has no... offensive... offensive... her... she... she..."
He finally got a sudden change of heart and shouted with all his strength, "This is impossible!! These two people are liars! They are liars!!"
However, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Orson-Krennic's mouth, and he slowly asked, "Do you know... who they are?"
