1007. Changes in the Interstellar Banking Association
Obi-Wan Kenobi stepped off the ship and came to the spaceport on the planet Utapa.
The planet Utapau is located in the very remote southern part of the Milky Way. The planet is jointly controlled by two races, the Utapah and the Pa people. The planet also has a relatively developed industry. However, when the war breaks out, the planet Utapah is currently declared neutral. .
After stepping off the spacecraft, Obi-Wan Kenobi hurriedly tried to get in touch with his troops. Fortunately, he finally made contact, but unfortunately, the Republic army had withdrawn from the planet Marastal.
At this moment, Cody, the commander of the 212th Attack Battalion, was among the retreating Cheer-class assault landing ship. He was very excited when he heard Obi-Wan's voice, "General Obi-Wan! I didn't expect to hear your voice again in this life. ! It’s really great! At that time... I thought you were dead..."
"What happened next?" Obi-Wan asked.
"The battle situation was very difficult at that time, but after you were shot, the opponent's black army's attention was obviously not on us. So we were able to break out, but we still... lost more than 300 brothers." Cody sighed Take a breath.
"The battle failed?" Obi-Wan's heart darkened.
"Yes, what the Supreme Strategic Command means is that supplies cannot be sent to the battlefield in the Eriadu system, so it is meaningless to open the hyperspace channel of the Marastal Fjord. Moreover, in Mara Planet Star, our losses are too great..." Cody's voice deepened, and the joy he had just received from the news that Obi-Wan was still alive disappeared.
Yes, another retreat, another failure.
The Galactic Republic's retreat from the planet Malastar also amounted to their acquiescence in the defeat of the battle in the Eriadu system. Although the planet Eriadu is still resisting tenaciously under the support of the planetary shield, even the most optimistic generals dare not make too good a conclusion as to how long they can hold on without foreign aid.
Currently, one of the more popular strategies among the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and it is said that they are also making plans for this. Bayi Chinese website
Obi-Wan Kenobi was in a very complicated mood at the moment. He said: "Then, you will return to the station to rest according to the arrangement. I need to go to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to meet Master Yoda..."
"Yes, General," Cody responded.
Putting the communicator back in his pocket, Obi-Wan Kenobi looked around. Although the planet Utapa is known as a neutral planet, there are still some B-1 combat robots patrolling around. Even if the symbol on their chests is not a separatist hexagon, it still makes people uneasy.
Obi-Wan sighed, wrapped his coarse cloak tighter, covered his face, and blended in with the crowd to board a passenger ship in extremely poor conditions where miners often sat.
…
At the same time, after sending Obi-Wan Kenobi away, Tang Xiao was still busy.
Recently, due to the internal reorganization of the Federation of Independent Systems, he has been dealing with Ainle-Tim, the Masonic Alliance and Count Dooku to find the most suitable way to reorganize.
If nothing else, at least it would allow the Confederation of Independent Systems to last longer on the battlefield, and at the same time, let the prairie fire burn brighter.
He was very convinced that if he did not exert influence on this matter, the Fourth Civilization would not be able to survive until the Rebel Alliance was established under the pressure of the future Galactic Empire.
Time is always the most lacking thing.
He finally had some free time these days and finally had the opportunity to carry out another plan of his.
A coordinate has been marked in his universal tool, and the person who sent this message is Zelakas! The leader of the protoss Sirak tribe!
However, just when he was about to leave, he was delayed by another communication.
Interplanetary Banking Association, Co-Chair, Thorn-Hill.
He invited Tang Xiao to the planet Mu Linster to attend a dinner, and Tang Xiao understood that, in fact, he had something to say.
The shuttle landed in a very remote area of the planet Murinster and did not land on the island marked on the map at all - Abola Island, where Hego Damask II was once Tang Xiao's master Das Pu Regus' secret laboratory.
After Tang Xiao arrived at Abola Island, San-Hir carefully sent a navigation request, and only after obtaining permission did he dare to drive the spaceship here by himself.
After stepping off the shuttle, Thornhill felt a little embarrassed. He kept grabbing at the lapels of his clothes and looking around with fear in his heart.
Here, Tang Xiao doesn't need to be polite to Sanxier, because on Abola Island, he is the master here! At the same time, he is also the master of Thorn-Hir - Darth Malsayir!
"It seems that you are in big trouble, Your Excellency, Co-Chairman." Das-Masayir said mockingly, "Let me guess, it's about Rush Clovis."
Thorn Hill was shocked, then lowered his head through gritted teeth and said fiercely: "Yes, Lord. That's him, Rush Clovis."
"Tell me."
"I'm worried..." Sang-Hir looked at Das Masayir with a hint of fear in his eyes, "I... I'm worried that I won't be able to sit in the position of co-chairman for too long..."
Darth Malsayin had already expected it, but was a little surprised, "Is it so fast?"
Thorn Hill said: "My lord, you have indeed found out. Indeed, I can still use some means to continue. However, by next year at the latest, the Interstellar Banking Association will hold a general election. Basically, I We’ve already lost more than half of it.”
Das-Masayin'er nodded slightly, and he understood that this would happen sooner or later.
Thorn Hill originally relied on the support of Hego Damask II to take the position of co-chairman. Later, although Hego died, his remaining power was still there and he won his first re-election. But now, the forces within the Interstellar Banking Association have long been reshuffled. The most obvious sign is that the Damask Holding Group, currently under the control of Das Masayir, has been gradually cleared out of the Interstellar Bank. The industrial system of industry associations.
This group has become the property of the fourth civilization.
In fact, this is not a good thing.
Now, Thornhill has indeed invested too many resources in this war, and such illegal investment has also given him a lot of leverage. Those who covet his position would be weird if they don't seize these leverages to attack.
Thorn Hill continued: "It was still because of the investment issue of the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier that Rush Clovis vetoed the investment. We could only hand over the funds to the Galactic Republic. Moreover, he also secretly arranged Made another investment to jointly develop a super tank with the Technology Alliance on the planet Geonosis."
Darth Malsayil also frowned, "He is forcing the forces within the Interstellar Banking Association to choose sides, and he also threw an olive branch to the Technology Alliance and Count Dooku. This matter, He came for us...Darth Sidious, he has made his goal very clear."
Thorn-Ciel lowered his head and said, "It is true. Clovis is now launching a fierce attack on me with the secret support of Palpatine."
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he encounters familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
