308. One hundred secrets and one sparse

Galactic Republic Capital, Coruscant.

What has happened to Galactic Republic now and what will happen in the future all show that this decadent regime is coming to an end.

Inside Galactic Senate, the core of power that was supposed to determine the fate of the entire galaxy, there were only quarrels, endless quarrels.

The quarrel between Galactic Republic and the corporate giants has not stopped for a day, on the contrary, it has intensified.

Ever since Eriadu Commerce Summit pierced the thin layer of the relationship between the two parties, this contradiction has been made clear.

Galactic Republic is determined to tax Outer Rim Territories, while corporate giants claim that it belongs to Free Trade Zone and should not be taxed.

This is the core of the dispute between the two sides.

But this is only one aspect. The essential reason for this quarrel is that Galactic Republic's loose bureaucracy caused their upper and lower officials to be riddled with holes under the corrosion of money, and thus they completely lost control of the corporate giants hundreds of years ago.

As Galactic Republic announced a unilateral tax on Free Trade Zone after the terrorist attack on Eriadu Commerce Summit, corporate giants also directly tore Rusan Treaty into pieces, unilaterally announced the lifting of restrictions on warship construction, and began to develop and modify large warships.

And corporate giants warned Galactic Republic that if taxes are imposed, it may have disastrous consequences.

He went to Naboo for symbolic negotiations, and then went to Golden Nyss Shipyard, who was cooperating with Fourth Group, to confirm his future main battleship. Newt Gunlay felt a lot more relaxed. Once he returned to Coruscant, there were endless quarrels and arguments.

This made him a little exhausted physically and mentally, but this was not the most troublesome thing. What really frightened him was another thing.

"My Lord requires you to explain immediately why you have to postpone blockade of Naboo's plan until half a year later!" In the holographic projection, the figure of Dath-Sidious hidden under the cloak gave him incomparable pressure.

After succumbing to Darth-Sidious's Dark Side Force, Newt Gunray understood the power of Dark Side from all aspects, whether it was strength, wealth or other aspects, so that he no longer had any thoughts of resistance.

He lowered his head and said tremblingly, "Give... give me a little more time... because the conversion of our LH-3010 giant cargo ship into a battleship has not yet been completed... and I also need to organize my robot army..."

"Idiot!!!" Darth-Sidious roared angrily. He raised his hand and an invisible force immediately grabbed Newt Gunray's neck and lifted him up!

Newt Gunray struggled like a frog, but he couldn't break free. When he was almost suffocated, Das-Sidious put him down and asked coldly, "Tell me, where is your Grand Moff, Haas Monchar?"

As soon as he heard the name, Newt Gunray fell to his knees with a plop, and said mournfully, "I'm sorry, Lord, Haas Monchar, he betrayed! He paralyzed our flagship Saka in Kato Star Sector, and then escaped on the spaceship! I... I will solve this problem immediately! I have sent ten bounty Hunter to hunt him down, including masters like Mawei Lexin!"

"Is this the bounty Hunter you are talking about?" Das-Sidious said calmly, and he opened another holographic projection screen.

What was shown on the screen was a somewhat simple house, but the house was splattered with red and blue blood everywhere. The bodies of two Quarren and one Trandoshan bodyguards were lying in pieces on the ground. In the middle of the house, a Neimoidian dressed in rich clothes was being lifted into the air by an invisible force. His struggle had stopped and he was drooping as if resigned to his fate.

The one who did all this was a red-skinned Zabrak, Das-Maul, sitting casually on the windowsill! He placed his double-headed red Lightsaber by his side, holding the Force up with one hand to lift Neimoidian, waiting for Darth-Sidious's instructions.

Seeing this scene, Newt Gunray realized that Darth-Sidious was always in control of everything! He collapsed to the ground and begged, "Don't kill me... Lord. I didn't know that Monchar would betray... I didn't treat him lightly, but he actually did this to me! I want to kill him! I must kill him! It's none of my business... I just want to catch him before things get too big, so I don't have to trouble you..."

"He sold a holographic memory to a businessman named Lorn-Pavan and earned 500,000 credits." Das-Maul said calmly.

"Tell me, what is in the memory?" Darth-Sidious looked at Newt Gunray and asked.

"Yes... yes..." Newt Gunray was shaking violently and couldn't say a word.

"Say!!" Darth-Sidious roared angrily, and the powerful the Force directly blew Newt Gunray away and hit the wall with a clang, smashing him to pieces and rolling on the ground several times before he could stand up.

"It's... it's our blockade of Naboo plan!" Newt Gunray almost peed in extreme fear, "And... there is also your conversation record..."

"You... idiot!" Darth-Sidious's anger could be felt through the communicator. He never thought that he would be tricked like this by this pig teammate. If he could not retrieve this memory, then he might capsize in the gutter.

It was even said that the existence of Sith was exposed in advance!

With a buzzing sound, the red Lightsaber of Das-Maul flashed past on the other side of the holographic screen, and the head of Trade Federation Grand Moff hass-Monchar, who was hanging in the air, fell down.

"If this matter cannot be resolved, then say goodbye to the position of Governor Trade Federation!" Das-Sidious roared, and then said to Das-Maul: "Go find it immediately! Capture the businessman and retrieve the memory!!"

Meanwhile, Hutt Space, Planet Gamo.

Tang Xiao has just slaughtered all the remaining strongholds of Black Sun. Black Sun seems to think that they are safe hiding in Hutt Space, but in fact this is not the case.

They were discovered by the almost pervasive intelligence system of Darth-Pregas, and then Tang Xiao came like Reaper, bringing death to each of them.

At this moment, Tang Xiao, who was holding a Force-sensitive killer in one hand, was walking towards his shuttle, but the communication rang.

After connecting to the communication, Das-Pregas's gloomy face appeared in the projection.

"Put down everything you are doing and immediately go after a human businessman named Lorn-Pavan!" Das-Pregas's tone showed that he was suppressing his overwhelming anger!

Uh-huh!! Lightsaber The blade flashed past, and the Force-sensitive killer was immediately cut into several pieces by Tang Xiao. He threw away the arm he was still holding, knelt down on one knee and responded, "As you command, my lord."

Turning off the communication, Tang Xiao closed his eyes and thought about it for a while.

Because of practicing the Force, his memory and reflexes were much better than before. Now, in the corner of his memory, he remembered a plot that he had seen before, but quickly forgot because it was relatively indifferent.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
