2533. Betrayal?
After returning to the Boonta frontline headquarters, Garrosh-Tarkin reported the results of this secret conversation to Gideon-Tarkin.
"General Gideon, Mon Calamari agreed to cooperate with us." Garrosh-Tarkin said, "But they want us to act first, and then they will participate. However, they still provided us with a secret hyperspace channel that can sneak attack the rear of Hutt Space."
He shook his head in annoyance, "I'm sorry, I couldn't convince them to pay more. They are very cautious and will never take action until they see us achieve some staged results."
Gideon-Tarkin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. From their point of view, it is indeed understandable. Because for us, if we fail in the battle, we will be punished, and at worst, we will lose a fleet... But for Mon Calamari, if we fail in the battle, it means annihilation."
"It's not that simple." Garrosh-Tarkin said, "Adal Talon was Judgment just now. If we fail again in the same place, I simply can't imagine the consequences."
"Don't worry, it's just a few days of confinement at most." Gideon-Tarkin patted his shoulder and said, "Your father Wilhuff-Tarkin and I will take care of everything."
"This..."
"As I said before, although I don't like it, since I have such power, why not use it?" Gideon-Tarkin said, "So, relax a little, don't have any psychological burden, and do it boldly! I believe you can prove to everyone that you are definitely a qualified Imperial Admiral!"
However, when he heard the word Imperial Admiral, Garrosh-Tarkin was not proud, but there was a trace of displeasure between his brows. However, he still hid his expression very well, nodded and said, "Then what should we do next? Raid Lothal Planet and let Mon Calamari see our sincerity?"
"Haha..." Gideon-Tarkin said, "Your idea is very good, but I think it is better not to be so rash at this stage. Mon Calamari's proposal is not as simple as they said. In fact... there is a trap in it."
"What trap?"
"Do you think Lothal Planet will be easily captured by us?" Gideon-Tarkin asked, "First of all, let's think about it. Kingdom of Dawn has Stargate technology and has proven that they are Use this technology to expand in Unknown Regions, and Fondor Planet also has a star gate. So under this premise, isn't it clear why they moved the Givin directly to Lothal Planet?"
"Lothal Planet is on the edge of Eastern Outer Rim. It can be said that it is very far away from the mainland of Kingdom of Dawn... There is only one possibility for them to relocate the Givin - the star gate." Garrosh replied, "But if we can take advantage of the situation and capture Lothal Planet, won't we be able to obtain information about the star gate? Even if it is a wreckage."
Gideon-Tarkin shook his head and said, "Stargate is not our primary goal. Relatively speaking, it is easier to defeat General Grievous. What we need first is to use General Grievous to prove ourselves, and then slowly deal with the matter of Lothal Planet. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong when attacking Lothal Planet, then we will become an expedition in vain."
Garrosh-Tarkin nodded. He thought for a while and said, "However, if we don't take any action against Lothal Planet, Mon Calamari will not cooperate with us. In this way, won't it be unable to contain Grievous?"
"Hehehe..." Gideon-Tarkin's expression became ferocious, "Actually, you have already completed this work for us."
"Done?"
"Tell Kingdom of Dawn the information about Mon Calamari's secret contact with us. If it is not credible enough, then we will send a fleet of high-speed cruisers to Hutt Space through the secret hyperspace channel they provided to us." Gideon-Tarkin said coldly.
"What? This... doesn't this betray Mon Calamari?" Garrosh-Tarkin was shocked.
Gideon-Tarkin smiled, patted Garrosh on the shoulder and said, "Sometimes we need to think about problems from a different angle, Garrosh, just like now."
He thinks that now is a good opportunity for his nephew to learn more about military strategy. "Isn't our purpose to let Mon Calamari help us contain Kingdom of Dawn? Then if we reveal this news to Kingdom of Dawn, Kingdom of Dawn will definitely take action against them. In this way, those fish-headed people will not be able to negotiate terms with us. Hahahaha..."
"But... but in this way, Mon Calamari's conspiracy is exposed, Kingdom of Dawn will never let them go!" Garrosh-Tarkin said loudly.
"Ah, what does it have to do with us?" Gideon-Tarkin sneered, "Do you still think that we can form an alliance with Mon Calamari? Dak Planet is located in a remote place, and we have no power to station troops here for a long time, so they must be just a fringe race of the Empire. To put it bluntly, their life and death have no impact on us... If you must die, why not help us involve some of Kingdom of Dawn's energy before you die."
"But this is betrayal..."
"Oh, a non-Human race is not qualified to talk about betrayal with us. They are just a race that cannot even be regarded as citizens of the Empire. We betray them? Hahahahaha." Gideon-Tarkin seemed to hear an incompetent He laughed like a funny joke, and continued to pat Garrosh on the shoulder and said, "In short, the current situation is very good! Next, let's organize the training and drills of the soldiers! Over at Mon Calamari, I just send people from the Intelligence Bureau."
General Gideon-Tarkin arrived. General Grievous really did not dare to harass Imperial frontier as arrogantly as before, and his actions became cautious.
The Empire's fleet is so powerful that even if they shoot at each other from a long distance, they still have enough firepower to tear their fleet into pieces! Even if there is Phase missile.
What's more, the replenishment of Phase missile is still very slow. A batch of Vasari will only be delivered every few days. Moreover, those missiles are basically experimental models with different performance parameters. It can only be said that they should be used before large-scale mass production.
Originally General Grievous hoped to retreat, but Kingdom of Dawn High Command sent news again, hoping that he would continue to harass Imperial frontier for a while as possible.
