1243. Boil frog in warm water
Tang Xiao returned to his office and connected the communication between Galli and Ulan.
Originally, according to Jarno's suggestion, he should change into more solemn clothes, but Tang Xiao decisively rejected this suggestion. He told Jarno that there should be a very clear affiliation between himself and Rendili.
The communication was connected, and the image of Gali Ulan was projected in the holographic projection. However, the interference of this projection was great, and the picture kept flickering. It was obvious that there was an interference source on Rendili's side.
Moreover, Tang Xiao saw that he was not wearing the gorgeous but inconvenient clothes from before, but just a set of work clothes. It seems that he has been very busy recently.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Governor, I'm communicating with you using encrypted communications. Now around our galaxy, the Galactic Republic Intelligence Department has set up many signal interception devices, hoping to eavesdrop on all hyperspace communications coming from us." Li-Ulan said apologetically.
"The Galactic Republic is not ignorant of everything. Since Palpatine single-handedly caused your current predicament, your reactions are naturally part of his calculations." Tang Xiao repeated what Jarno had just said.
"You mean, Palpatine did it on purpose?"
"The same thing, I have told your father before, Bangila Ulan. Now I believe you have understood that the issue before your Lundili Interstellar Power Company is not whether to raise a counter-flag, but How can we leave the Galaxy Republic safely?" Tang Xiao said.
Galli Ulan sighed, "I just don't understand, why must we be the ones who die? Why not Corellian Engineering Company and Quat Power Dockyard?"
"The rise and fall of the Corellian Engineering Company is related to the entire Corellian galaxy, the five habitable planets in the galaxy, and even the vast and developed Corellian Corridor. Do you think Palpatine will touch them? "Is that so?" Tang Xiao asked coldly, "As for Kuat, they started their political investment very early, and their exaggerated shipbuilding style also caters to the favor of those republic legislators who long for power. So for Pa As far as Erpatin is concerned, they are our own people... After all, if you don't deal with them, who will you deal with?"
Gali Ulan was silent for a moment, and then asked: "If you take action, can you ensure the safety of our Lundili?"
"Asking for such a promise from me shows your immaturity, Gali Ulan." Tang Xiao said lightly: "Only those who are naive will ask for such a promise from others. Without 100% success, Before taking the lead, they can't even take a step forward, and such a person is destined to be a loser in life and career. So, what about you?"
Galli Ulan fell into silence again for a while. After a while, he asked dryly, "So, will the deceased angel take action? I heard from my father... you are... deceased..."
Before he could finish his words, an invisible force instantly strangled his neck, making him unable to breathe and making him swallow the second half of his sentence.
With a pop, the invisible force threw him directly several meters away!
Galli Ulan was extremely frightened. This was the first time he felt the terrifying power of the Force. It was also the first time he felt such a terrifying sense of oppression from Tang Xiao!
Even a Jedi Knight would never offend the heir of an industrial giant like him like this.
But this terrifying man in front of him... just now, Gali Ulan even felt like he was facing death!
Getting up from the ground, he quickly returned to the communication without any hesitation.
"You must understand a premise, Gali Ulan." Tang Xiao said coldly, "The Angel of Death is not an existence that people at your level can contact and talk about...including if you want to give away your daughter, then It can only be handed over to Tang Xiao, the Governor of Dawn Planet, rather than to the Angel of Death."
"Adele is my most beloved daughter...she cannot..."
"Then let me change my condition." A cruel smile appeared on Tang Xiao's face, "If you want the Angel of Death to personally help you, that's fine.
But... you have to kill your daughter with your own hands in front of me, how about that? "
"You!!" Gali Ulan jumped up and was about to have a fit, but as soon as his eyes came into contact with Tang Xiaofu, he immediately lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I beg you... don't do this..."
"Hehehehe..." Tang Xiao sneered for a while, but did not answer his request. He just asked, "It seems that your situation in Lundili is indeed not good. Tell me."
Gali-Ulan said: "Three days ago, the Jedi Order sent a Jedi Master and his apprentice to prepare to take over the defense fleet of the planet Rendili. At the same time, we also discovered that the Republic Intelligence Department had a secret mission on our planet. The activities are constantly intensifying. The Galactic Republic has begun to take precautions against us... Moreover, many of our shipyard directors have been bribed by the Republic..."
"It's not that you were bribed by the Republic, but after you did some research, you found that your own support rate is actually not that high, right?" Tang Xiao smiled sarcastically.
Galli Ulan did not dare to hide anything this time. He shook his head and said, "Yes... My father, Bangila Ulan, is not optimistic about our prospects after conducting this secret investigation."
"Lundili Interstellar Power Company has a history of more than 20,000 years, and is one of the founding heroes of the Galactic Republic. Under such background, your Lundili and the Galactic Republic have long been intertwined, and some things are not yours. It can be controlled, which is why Palpatine thinks he can easily control you." Tang Xiao said, "And you are indeed powerless to resist."
Gali Ulan sighed, "Although we are not on the edge of the cliff now, we are actually dying slowly. The few orders left to us by the Galactic Republic actually only allow us to maintain basic production capacity and not let We just dismantled some interstellar shipyards in order to survive. Before the war started, my father and I both believed that we lost the order to Kuat Power Shipyard because we misjudged the situation and did not come up with war-worthy equipment at the first time. Battleship design..."
He shook his head, "So at that time, with his powerful skills, my father actually seized the opportunity to instigate the chief battleship designer of Quat Power Dockyard, Willix Blissex, and he also designed victory for us. -class Star Destroyer, but the situation still did not improve at all. At that time, my father began to realize that something was wrong..."
"So your father is indeed very good. If instead of him, you were in charge of Lundili, haha, I'm sorry, even if the deceased angel comes over, it can't be saved." Tang Xiao sneered.
"So far, our company has no problem staying alive. After all, the heritage of 25,000 years is there. However, if this situation continues, it will only be a matter of time before we are annexed by Kuat." Gary -Ulan said, "This is the most desperate place! Because the shipyard directors and managers at all levels under us did not realize that the end was coming, but only thought it was a temporary trough!"
"Ah, boiling frogs in warm water leads to slow death...Palpatine has indeed captured all your weaknesses." Tang Xiao understood.
No wonder that in the original plot, although Rendili Interstellar Power Company wanted to launch a rebellion, it was quickly suppressed. They could not even fully control their own defense fleet, and there was an uprising that defected to the Republic. In the end, Rendili's family fortune, including their 25,000 years of heritage, was completely taken away by Palpatine.
Thus, the monster-like Quat Power Dockyard was created!
