669. Betrayal and reward

Putting down the communication, Tang Xiao looked gloomy. He quickly connected to another communication. Hutt Alok-Besadi appeared in the holographic projection. Tang Xiao asked directly, "What happened to Nar Shaddaa?"

Alok-Besadi still held the gem-carved spice filter in his mouth. After taking a sip of the intoxicating spice flavor, he slowly said, "The current situation is not good."

Tang Xiao frowned.

Alok then said, "It's Desilijic kajidic, Jabba."

"He will never give up Tatooine, we knew that from the beginning." Tang Xiao said.

"He has been dormant for ten years, and now he has started to take action. This Galactic Republic civil war is his best opportunity." Alok said.

"Jabba, what did he do?" Tang Xiao looked gloomy.

"Well..." Alok-Besadi took another big sip of the spice, closed his eyes and felt it, and then said, "He plans to propose to Gaddula."

An image of two Tang Xiao suddenly appeared in Hutt's mind... and then... that... uh huh..., but compared to this, the amount of information contained in this sentence is even more surprising, "Proposal? Jabba and Gaddula?!"

"You must understand this. For Besadi kajidic, there is still a gap between our background and Desilijic kajidic's, so this marriage is something we cannot refuse." Alok said.

Tang Xiao's face became increasingly gloomy, "So, in order to marry Desilijic kajidic, you used Tatooine as a dowry?"

"In my opinion, the word 'dowry' is very weird. But I can understand what you want to express... Yes, Tatooine will be jointly managed by Besadi kajidic and Desilijic kajidic." Alok said lightly.

Perhaps sensing that Tang Xiao's face was not very good-looking, Alok added, "This is an agreement between us Besadi kajidic and Desilijic kajidic, and it will not treat your Titan Security and Calamity Legion have no impact, and the fleet authorized by you can also freely pass near Tatooine. Of course, for Bonta Night Speeder Race, which we jointly operate, we are still happy to cooperate."

"But you just let go of a Republic Fleet." Tang Xiao said coldly.

"There is no conflict between this and me releasing your fleet." Alok said.

Tang Xiao thought for a while, and the smile appeared on his face again, "Well, maybe for Hutt, this is your best choice now."

"If you can think of it this way, I would be very grateful for your understanding." Alok said calmly.

The communication was shut down, and Tang Xiao punched the wall. He did not use the Force. The punch made his hands drip with blood, and there was even a shallow dent in the hard wall.

No matter how much Alok says, betrayal is betrayal! This is a shameful betrayal!

Tang Xiao is very convinced that there must be Palpatine's hands and feet behind this matter! The desperate Jabba must have hit it off with Palpatine. After all, in the original plot, the two were also in a cooperative relationship.

Alok talks nicely, Titan Security and Calamity Legion are as usual. But in fact, without the support of Hutt, Titan Security is definitely struggling in Nal Hutta, and Calamity Legion is even more so! Without the smugglers' supplies, Calamity Legion will soon run out of ammunition and food.

The reason why Alok did not take action against these two forces was simply because he planned to take these two forces as his own.

Never underestimate the greed of a Hutt.

In this matter, Tang Xiao admitted that he was still wrong after all. He originally thought that it would be enough to control Gaddula, the loser, and he could also coerce Gaddula to negotiate with Besadi kajidic behind her.

He did succeed at first, but Jabba smashed all Tang Xiao's calculations into nothing with a proposal - this move hit home!

Gaddula is a loser, which is true for Tang Xiao; it is also true for Jabba; and it is even more true for Besadi kajidic.

The ambitious Alok-Besadi will not let such a loser control the key traffic artery Tatooine for a long time. From another perspective, Gaddula was once so embarrassed that she had to recycle garbage. Her ability to make money sitting on the treasure mountain of Tatooine is also really worrying.

Moreover, I am afraid that the last kidnapping activity against Gaddula also sounded the alarm for Alok. Although the kidnapping failed in the end, the incident still left a shadow in Alok's heart. Let me ask, if the person sitting in the palace of Tatooine is Jabba, who has the ability to kidnap him?

In other words, no matter how hard Tang Xiao calculated and tried to rescue Gaddula, Jabba had already won when the kidnapping occurred.,,

For the benefit of Besadi kajidic, accepting Jabba's proposal under such circumstances, and then letting the more powerful Jabba manage Tatooine, while also terminating the decade-long battle between Besadi kajidic and Desilijic kajidic, can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

What's more, once Jabba and Gaddula are combined, according to their agreement, Besadi kajidic can make more money than he does now, so why not?

The role of Palpatine's possible secret hand behind the scenes cannot be ignored. If Republic fleet, who was withdrawn from Christophsis, had not been released, Tang Xiao might not be aware of this factor.

Therefore, for Besadi kajidic, all the beauty requires is that Gaddula spread her long legs... Ah, no, it should be open... uh... How did Hutt give birth to a monkey? Forget it... I don't want to look up this information either.

After thinking about the joints, Tang Xiao calmed down.

He is not afraid of being betrayed or plotted by others. He is only afraid of being betrayed by others and not knowing why after being plotted against.

Now that everything is clear now, things are far from completely out of control.

Jabba wants to return to Tatooine, and Alok wants to take Titan Security and Calamity Legion as his own, but these things are also things that Tang Xiao has worked hard for many years. How can it be so easy!

"Want to eat snake meat? You have to worry about not being bitten by a snake..." Tang Xiao muttered, and he connected to a secret channel.

A 60-year-old white-haired woman with short, smart hair and a lady's suit appeared in the holographic projection, "Your Excellency, what are your orders?"

Fourth Civilization Intelligence Department Minister, Madam M.

"Activate one of the dark lines." Tang Xiao said lightly, "Hutt——Ziro-Desilijic (Ziro Desilijic)."

"What do you need her to do?" Madam M asked directly.

"Ziro is greedy and has limited abilities. Don't tease her too early. Just tell her that her annoying nephew Jabba will be combined with Gaddula-Besadi in the near future, and then return to Tatooine in glory." Tang Xiao said.

After a pause, he added, "Ziro and Count Dooku have many connections, so it is best not for us to come forward in this matter, but in the name of Count Dooku. You should understand what I want to say."

"Yes." Madam M nodded.

"Also, how is Hutt Boorka's situation?" Tang Xiao asked again.

This is the Hutt who once sold Extractor's information to Sefrans-Tann.

"His current situation is not good, especially when Hutt's recent actions have been somewhat biased towards Galactic Republic. He who is hostile to Galactic Republic will naturally be ostracized." Madam M replied.

"Then, these are the chess pieces you can use now." Tang Xiao said, "Go and do it."

"I will arrange it immediately." Madam M bowed deeply, then took three steps back, and then closed the communication.

Before Tang Xiao had time to take a sip of water, communications from Count Dooku came one after another.

"I sincerely hope that you are satisfied with the hospitality just now, Your Excellency the Governor." Count Dooku said with a smile.

Tang Xiao smiled and nodded, "This is natural. I like this banquet very much."

"Actually, I was worried that you had already rested, but I must share this news with you as soon as possible. I hope it won't disturb you." Count Dooku said politely.

"It seems like this is definitely great news." Tang Xiao said.

"Indeed." Count Dooku nodded, "Our fleet won a great victory in the battle of Falrin Planet and annihilated the entire incoming Galactic Republic battle group, 100 Hunter Class Battlecruiser. This battle Battle, plus Battle of Christophsis and Battle of Bespin, I can say that Galactic Republic's mobile fleet has been completely lost, and there will no longer be any force that can stop us for at least two months."

Tang Xiao nodded.

Battle of Falrin can be said to be a real head-on collision between Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, which also happened in the original plot. Although there is not much description of this battle in the original plot, it can be seen from Master Windu's words at the time that the losses in this battle were extremely heavy, and Galactic Republic at that time did not even have the power to reinforce Christophsis.

Although the outbreak of Christophsis is ahead of schedule due to some reasons, Battle of Falrin still breaks out as scheduled. But this time, Tang Xiao realized that the reason why this battle broke out was Galactic Republic's attempt to get through Corellian Trade Route.

Count Dooku over there is still saying, "But to be honest, what surprises me the most is not Falrin Planet's battle, but Dawn Star Planet actually once again beat Republic fleet at Bespin Planet. This is definitely a result that exceeds all my previous expectations and imagination. Here I must pay you the deepest respect."

He bowed deeply to Tang Xiao, and then said, "I will hold the grandest celebration again tomorrow, which will last for three days, to celebrate this series of great victories. Miss Ailiya-Isabel also agreed to present the most beautiful song for this celebration. I believe that she, who is also from Dawn Star Planet, can give you a better experience."

"You're welcome, Count Dooku. I believe this will be a pleasant celebration, and I'm looking forward to it." Tang Xiao said.

Count Dooku changed the topic at this time and suddenly said, "By the way, I heard... In this battle of Christophsis, Sefrans-General Tann also participated?"

"Corporate Alliance Chairman Parcel Argent offered a high price." Tang Xiao replied with a slight smile.

Count Dooku showed a knowing smile, "I understand. Without the help of Dawn Star Planet and InterGalactic Banking Clan, Parcel Argent would probably have suffered a complete defeat in Christophsis. But now that things are over If it is resolved, I will naturally not punish him for this, and Confederacy of Independent Systems will naturally fully support the agreement between him and you. Christophsis is already within Confederacy of Independent Systems's sphere of influence. It is naturally our obligation to protect this planet."

This is what Tang Xiao really wants to hear.

He understood that this was the compensation given to him by Count Dooku - compensation for the incident where he was lured and kidnapped to Fang-class battleship last time.

This is equivalent to acknowledging the vested interests of Dawn Star Planet and InterGalactic Banking Clan in Christophsis, and jointly pushing Parcel Argent to take the blame.

Fortunately, this battle was won, so that the blame was not so heavy for Parcel Argent. Of course, his dream of making a lot of money on Christophsis naturally came to nothing.

Tang Xiao smiled and asked casually, "What about Malevolence? I haven't heard any news about it during this time."

"The existence of Fang-class battleship is still highly confidential, so it is normal that you cannot learn about it from other channels. Of course, you are not within the scope of confidentiality. What I can tell you is that Malevolence is currently operating on Hedia hyperspace lane. General Grievous is personally commanding it. His mission is to destroy Galactic Republic's logistics supplies on Hydian Way and prepare us for further combat operations." Count Dooku replied.

Tang Xiao nodded. The reason he asked about Malevolence was because he wanted to know how the super battleship was doing so he could judge when the combat operation Galactic Republic would launch in the plot to encircle and suppress Malevolence would begin.

He hopes to keep Malevolence. On the other hand, once Malevolence's actions attract Galactic Republic's attention, the actions of another super battleship will not be so eye-catching.

As a result, while he was still thinking about this matter, Count Dooku also mentioned this, "Actually, Fang-class battleship alone is not enough to block Hydian Way... So, I have a presumptuous request that I hope you can convey to, Lord Archangel of Death. I hope his ship..."

"Plague." When Tang Xiao said this name, his face changed a little, and he seemed to be a little scared, and even his tone became a little lower.

It has to be said that one second on stage can lead to ten years of hard work off stage. Ten years of hard work in performing have given him a perfect grasp of micro-expressions.

"If Lord Archangel of Death can send Plague to help, I think we will be more confident. Once we cut off Hydian Way, then we will be able to launch another assault on Kamino and cut off the supply of Republic clone troopers in one fell swoop." When Count Dooku said this, his face was full of evil.

"I will convey it." Tang Xiao was a little scared and hesitant, but still nodded and agreed.
