678, Transcending Death
"Fear is not enough. This is the reason why Sulama's 19th Army failed..." Wilhuff-Tarkin turned his head slightly and turned to the holographic projection of Darth-Sidious and said slowly, "We have to put fear back into the heart of Dawn Star Planet."
"I only care about when Dawn Star Planet will be destroyed." Das-Sidious asked.
"I need 5 years." Wilhuff-Tarkin answered directly.
"I don't have 5 years to give you!"
"If that's the case, I can only say that this is not a rational choice." Tarkin shook his head.
"Then tell me, how many battleships do you need?" Das-Sidious asked.
"500 Hunter Class." Tarkin directly reported a number.
"In the current situation, this is a very outrageous number!" Das-Sidious was a little unhappy.
"Our enemy is not just Dawn Star Planet. The power of Separatists is our main threat at present. I am talking about Confederacy of Independent Systems." Tarkin replied, "If we lack sufficient power, we will not be able to destroy the enemy's confidence, and the losses in the war will be extremely expanded."
"Confederacy of Independent Systems... Maybe it is true... hehehehe..." Das-Sidious laughed for a while, "Maybe..."
"Actually, at the current stage, I do not recommend attacking Dawn Star Planet. This is not in line with our strategy." Tarkin said.
"Do your own thing, Tarkin. I naturally have my own considerations." Das-Sidious said.
"Is it another supernatural power like the Force? In my opinion, this power cannot be used to establish the power we expect." Tarkin said.
"Now you will use this power. Sulama was killed in his own mansion, under heavy protection. You will not want to follow in his footsteps." Das-Sidious said, "I will ask Jedi Order to send two Jedi Master to protect your safety. Use them well."
"Then it's better to be two humans. I'm not too cold about non-Human race." Tarkin did not object this time, but said lightly.
"I will be waiting for your news, Wilhuff-Tarkin, my friend." Das-Sidious finished speaking and cut off the communication.
Wilhuff-Tarkin then turned around and came to his desk. He flipped through the files on the desk and saw that they were full of information about Dawn Star Planet and 19th Army.
His expression gradually became serious, and he pressed the communication button and said, "Send more manpower. I want to know all the information about Dawn Star Planet, including how many meals their civilians eat a day and what their staple foods are. I want to know everything."
"Yes!"
Tarkin then walked out of his office with his hands behind his back. A group of fully armed elite guards immediately stepped forward and followed him. Tarkin still didn't say a word, just walked forward with his head held high, his long military boots hitting the clean and tidy floor with a crisp sound, echoing in this busy but quiet corridor.
He went all the way down and came to a cell closed by a laser fence. He only saw one person sitting inside. He was locked with more than a dozen shackles and could only maintain a sitting posture.
And what is very terrifying is that his head is fixed by a complex machine, and his eyes are always kept open by two small mechanical hands. His eyes are wide-eyed and bloodshot, his tears have long dried up, and the lens that has not been moistened has begun to dry up.
His arms were dotted with pinpricks, the result of being injected with various veritaserum and hallucinogens. But what is even more frightening is that the bones in the back of his head were completely opened, and his brain was directly exposed. A special torture robot was piercing various parts of his brain with long, electrified steel needles on its several mechanical arms.
Apart from anything else, if word spreads about the torture robot itself, it will be enough for Tarkin to be accused by those Republic Senator who flaunt democracy and human rights for the rest of their lives.
Although he has been tortured to the point where he is no longer human, he can still recognize that this person is Intelligence Department, the former Republic 19th Army commander, Colonel Lott.
Now Colonel Lott has almost completely lost the ability to speak. He relies on a device that is directly cut into his throat and implanted to record the vibration of his vocal cords to form written language.
Tarkin came to the torture robot. After watching the torture during this period, he looked through all the information he got from Colonel Lott, but it was not of much value, so he said to the torture robot, "It's still not complete. Dig out from him what he said to at that time I want to know every detail of Dawn Star Planet's intelligence analysis. If we don't know how Dawn Star Planet delivered such fatal false information to us, what happened to the 19th Army will happen again to us 18th Army."
The dozens of electronic eyes on the torture robot's head flashed, and he spoke quickly in the robot's unique language. Tarkin looked at the translator and said lightly, "It doesn't matter, I don't care whether this person is alive, as long as he can give me what I want."
After saying that, he turned around and left directly surrounded by the guards.
"Stand at attention! Fire a salute! Salute!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The heavy gun salute roared rhythmically, with a total of 99 rounds fired.
Fourth Civilization The honor guard was dressed in black military uniforms and lined up on both sides with solemn expressions.
Tang Xiao also wore a black governor's uniform, with numerous medals on his chest. The most conspicuous one was when he first encountered the pirates Iron Tooth-Kuken. He went to the front line to fight in person, and then the military followed the standard method to award Second Class Star Medal. This medal also has special meaning for him.
He personally supported Marshal Igor-Zavalov's coffin and walked forward slowly. There were a group of honor guard soldiers in front and behind, marching together in uniform steps.
Tang Xiao looked at Marshal Igor-Zavalov who was placed in the anti-gravity crystal coffin and shook his head slightly.
"If you are willing, I can resurrect you and give you a long life..." A few days ago, Tang Xiao said this in front of the hospital bed of Marshal Igor-Zavalov who could no longer speak.
However, Igor-Zavalov just held Tang Xiao tightly with his rough hands, shook his head firmly, then gently patted the back of Tang Xiao's hand, and ended with a smile.
This made Tang Xiao feel powerless for the first time after awakening Death Force. He vaguely discovered that sometimes, death does not seem so absolute...
In this world, there may be many things beyond death...
