581. Heavy debts

"The above is the content of the conversation between Pacell Argent and I, tsk tsk tsk tsk..." General Trench said in the middle.

"Okay, let's continue as planned." After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he closed the communication and sat on the sofa with his eyes closed and meditating.

And Fourth Civilization's Minister of Economics, Muun Semir-Tang stood behind him and said very respectfully, "Actually, the plan General Trench just proposed is also an opportunity for us."

"Go on."

"Trench has just handed over Christophsis's financial situation that our Salarian spy found to Parcell Argent. According to Kuriwa's insatiable personality, he will definitely take action. However, it is precisely because of his greed that Corporate Alliance launched attacks in five directions at the same time. I think Bosa should have taught them enough lessons now," Semir-Tang sneered while touching his chin.

"I know that Corporate Alliance can't get more battleships now, so I asked Trench to suggest that they go to Semirians. This should bring an extra income to Semirians." Tang Xiao said.

"Trench is just a military general after all, and he hasn't seen enough of political and economic things... This matter should be a bigger opportunity." Semir-Tang said, "If we can pass this matter and force Corporate Alliance to submit, then it will also be very beneficial to the Cooperative Alliance we established."

"So, what do you mean?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Let Parcell Argent go find...InterGalactic Banking Clan co-chairman, San-Hir." Semir-Tang showed a sinister smile.

"Our situation is different from yours, dear Mr. Parcel Argent." InterGalactic Banking Clan co-chairman San Hill said with a profiteer's smile on his face, "Galactic Republic is eyeing Makito. He Our fleet has been assembled nearby. While you are expanding like crazy, Miss Shelbia and I of Fourth Group have to sit down at Makito and leave all our main fleet here for defense."

"Christophsis is of great significance to Galactic Republic. Launching an offensive there will also involve Galactic Republic's troops." Parcel Argent rubbed his hands and said, "I have already negotiated with Semirians. They are willing to send a fleet to support us, but they need to pay some fees..."

"In that case, you can just slowly talk to Tusambak-Tula, you don't have to look for me." San-Hir said with a smile.

Of course he knew that Cooperative Alliance was also a member of the secret team. They had already met after Dawn Star Planet proposed the plan.

And according to the plan, Semirians's Council Representative Tuanbak-Tula directly made a condition to Parcel Argent: It's okay to send a fleet, and Christophsis I will get a piece of the pie.

The greedy Parcel Argent could not agree to this condition. He had already regarded Christophsis as his own. The astronomical profit made him crazy. He would never let others get involved.

"Then since there is no dividend, let's just talk about the price." Tuxambak-Tula said.

When she was at Coruscant, she often accepted bribes, so she was very familiar with such conversations.

She directly offered a high price and calculated accurately that Corporate Alliance would never be able to pay it. In other words, they can pay, but once the money comes out, it will inevitably affect their battle situation in other directions.

That's why Parcel Argent came here to find Thorn Hill. What was he doing? Borrow money!

He hopes to ask InterGalactic Banking Clan to borrow a loan of 5 billion credit points, so as to persuade Semirians to send troops and further stretch their already bloated front line.

The source of his confidence is General Trench's plan. He has used his influence to persuade Retail Association. After getting their approval, Kloiden also expressed his willingness to help Confederacy of Independent Systems occupy Christophsis.

Once more than 3 billion brave and capable Kloiden launch a rebellion on Christophsis, this planet will almost be captured!

That's what Parcell Argent planned anyway.

But Tang Xiao understands, Christophsis, it's not that simple. So he felt free to let Parcel Argent go about his activities. Sooner or later, when Galactic Republic slapped him with earwax, he would naturally know why the flowers were so red.

While Parcel Argent imagined himself lying on the crystal counting money, Tang Xiao was already planning for his failure.

While Christophsis's offensive was secretly being prepared, Fourth Civilization's troop deployment was also quietly changing.

Fleet B, led by Lin Nanyi, and Chen Bing Planet Kaal, echoing Gran's army, assumed a posture of attacking at any time.

Republic 19th Army, the governor of the regiment, Sulama, did not dare to take the initiative after the disastrous defeat of Bespin Planet, and could only hide behind Planet Kaal's defense line.

Because of this, he did not discover that Lin Nanyi was quietly sending battleships to Tatooine.

The Galactic Republic family has a great business, and Tang Xiao will never do this kind of business, which involves killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred to oneself, by attacking Galactic Republic's solid defense line head-on.

After Fleet A took a rest, he separated into a small fleet, led by Commander Matt-Hona himself, and went straight to Hoth Planet (Hoth), which was only 3 seconds away from Bespin.

On this ice-covered planet, Galactic Republic has set up an outpost and a spaceport to provide repairs and supplies to incoming spacecraft. By the way, if the original plot is followed, more than 30 years later, this will become an important base for the Rebel Alliance to fight against the Galactic Empire.

But now, this planet is just a remote area that not many people pay attention to. Matt-Hona Blitz raided Hoth Planet, occupied the spaceport, destroyed Galactic Republic's outpost, and successively dropped 100,000 B-1 combat robots on it.

Confederacy of Independent Systems There aren't many other things, just robots. What they lack is the means to transport these robots.

These 100,000 robots will be lost if they are thrown away. The worst thing is to apply for High Command of Confederacy of Independent Systems and pay a small amount of credits, and 1 million robots will be shipped over soon.

Among Bespin Planet, a magnificent interstellar base is being built by 100 large-scale Raz-class construction ship. With this as the core, Matt-Hona is beginning to unfold his plan, gradually cannibalizing the surrounding planets.

Fleet A and Fleet B are forming a pincer-like surrounding of the Republic 19th Army group from two directions.
