804. Politics>War
"Okay, withdraw." In the holographic projection of hyperspace communication, the figure of Tang Xiao wearing a black cloak looked extremely eerie.
Sefrans-Tann was a little dissatisfied, "I am now in Galactic Republic's Core Worlds. I can come and go as I please. They will never catch me! But I can threaten their heartland at all times. I can fight and leave whenever I want. Why should I retreat?"
Tang Xiao said coldly, "This is no longer a military issue, this is a political issue."
Regarding the Nubian Planet air battle that broke out before, Tang Xiao was slightly dissatisfied. From his point of view, attacking Kato-Neimoidia is just right, attacking Galactic Republic supply route is the icing on the cake, but directly attacking Nubian Planet is superfluous.
Of course, as he said, this is all political, not military.
From the perspective of Sefrans-Tann, her choice is understandable. It can even be said to be a classic raid battle. She can come and go freely at the core of the enemy. Nothing can damage the opponent's morale more than this.
But now, it's time to stop. Tang Xiao knows that if this continues, this fire may burn on Trade Federation's head. At this stage, no more than two years later, Galactic Republic is not ready, Confederacy of Independent Systems is not ready, and Trade Federation is even less ready.
To put it bluntly, the heat is not yet there.
Once things escalate further, it is possible that Trade Federation will be forced to quit Confederacy of Independent Systems, which would be very bad.
As the saying goes, it's never too late, and that's true now. Pull Trade Federation onto his Chariot, and ask Newt Gunray to at least not surrender directly like in the plot, and shut down all the robots. But this does not mean that they will immediately stab Galactic Republic in the heart.
According to his informant at Republic Senate, because of the Nubia air war, there are now more and more censures on Trade Federation in the parliament, putting them under increasing pressure.
Once this string breaks, Trade Federation is likely to withdraw from the war.
After all, the two sides have not really fought to the point of life and death in the war. The war was initiated by Count Dooku, and the banner raised by Trade Federation was only to protect its own interests in Outer Rim and Mid Rim Territories.
Moreover, Neimoidian is one of the earliest races to join Galactic Republic, and their home planet and several of the most important Wealth World are among Galactic Republic's Inner Rim and Core Worlds. Therefore, although most of their business is carried out in Outer Rim and Mid Rim, their real basic base is still in Galactic Republic.
In fact, in the original plot, Trade Federation and InterGalactic Banking Clan, the two largest Mega-corporations giants in Confederacy of Independent Systems, were not treated as war criminals in the end. Instead, they paid a very, very large ransom to protect their base, and then were merged into the Galactic Empire, and were eventually digested.
In other words, from the perspective of Galactic Republic, Trade Federation and InterGalactic Banking Clan have never been on the opposite side of the war from Galactic Republic.
This is politics.
If I want to be more straightforward, it means that for now, this war can be fought, but the real aristocratic bosses Inner Rim and Core Worlds cannot feel that their lives are in danger. Otherwise, they are likely to overturn the table. In this way, even the existence of Confederacy of Independent Systems itself will be problematic.
"Political issues should not be my concern." Sefrans-Tann said in a deep voice.
"So I gave you the answer, retreat immediately and come back with Plague." Tang Xiao said coldly.
Sefrans-Tann wanted to say something more, but when he saw Tang Xiao's cold eyes, he lowered his head.
"It's very stupid to question the master's decision in person, Tann. Originally, I thought you had figured it out... but in the end, you are still just an idiot." Das-Lilim said with a charming voice from the side.
"You are already an animal that thinks with its lower body. You cannot understand what I am thinking." Sefrans-Tann waved her hands impatiently. She looked at the holographic star map, her face changing constantly, "Now my battle has just begun! Kato-Neimoidia's defense is solid, Galactic Republic is gathering a fleet, it's just a ragtag group of people. I can launch another attack while their footing is not stable. I have found the hidden hyperspace channel!
Buzz~~!!!
A blood-red Lightsaber appeared in front of Sefrans-Tann. It was Darth-Lilim.
She looked at Sefrans-Tann, her tone was extremely cold, "I don't care how many reasons you have, disobeying my master is absolutely not allowed. He has already given you instructions, so just do it. Or, I will take your body to do it."
Sefrans-Tann's face turned gloomy, but she still nodded.
Meanwhile, Galactic Republic Capital, Coruscant.
Galactic Senate Building.
"This is an act of war!!" Council Representative of Quat Planet stood on the anti-gravity platform and shouted angrily, "Trade Federation you are openly attacking our Core Worlds world!!"
Lott Dude, the parliamentary representative of Trade Federation, said, "This is a baseless accusation! The only purpose of our fleet's actions is to protect our properties and deposits on Wealth World Kato-Neimoidia!"
"But you attacked Nubian Planet!" Quat Planet's representative continued to accuse.
Quat Planet rarely speaks in parliament. They have already eaten enough and are sure that nothing in this galaxy can affect their interests, so they don't bother to participate in the quarrels in parliament. This is their self-confidence as a super industrial giant. No matter who rules the galaxy, as long as they want to build powerful space battleships, they must rely on them.
But this time Sefrans-Tann's actions really scared Quat Planet.
The fleet of Sefrans-Tann once put up a posture to attack Balmorra-Neimoidia. This was what they feared the most.
Because the distance between Balmorra-Neimoidia and Quat Planet is less than 1 second! Basically, the spacecraft starts the hyperspace engine from Balmorra-Neimoidia, the pilot farts, and before the smell dissipates, it reaches Quat Planet.
It would be fine if it was just an ordinary fleet. The problem is that Plague is included in the Sefrans-Tann fleet!! Who knows what this super battleship can do when it goes crazy?
Therefore, at that time, the representatives of Quat Planet were jumping up and down on Republic Senate, making a completely unreasonable fuss, insisting that Galactic Republic must send troops to reinforce this direction.
Therefore, to a large extent, the successful strategic deception of Sefrans-Tann also had a share of the credit of Quat Planet.
