1299. The aging mercenary
"The Zane Consortium became active more than ten or twenty years later? Lord Governor, what does this mean?" Yuri Orlov asked in surprise.
Tang Xiao glanced at him and said: "Planet Mandalore... Indeed, I have wanted to set foot there for a long time. I have never had any excuses, but now is indeed an opportunity. As for the Zane Consortium, you don't have to worry too much. , if what I saw in the Force is correct, they themselves will not live long."
Indeed, the Zane Consortium did not become active until the era after the Battle of Yavin IV, when the Galactic Empire's superweapon the Death Star was destroyed. At that time, the leader of the Zane Consortium was a heroic figure - Tiber Zane, but now, Tiber Zane is just a child.
The current Zann Foundation is not called this name yet, it should be called Zann Reprocessing Company (ZannRe’s card game)
"Your Majesty the Governor...but my brother..." Yuri Orlov couldn't understand what Tang Xiao was saying, so he could only continue to ask.
Tang Xiao sneered and said, "I probably know why you are so desperate, because you, a weapons dealer, are definitely on the Mandalorian's blacklist, and you can't even enter their territory."
"I just want to save my brother... I know he must be alive, I'm sure!" Yuri Orlov said.
"Since your brother has become an advisor to Grand Duke Satine, his status is at least not low. It is indeed very strange for such a person to be hunted down on Mandalorian territory. You know, even if the New Man The Dalorians have put away their fangs, but those Mandalorian mercenaries are still continuing to write the reputation of the Mandalorians. In this galaxy, it is really not possible for those who dare to touch the Mandalorian's misfortune. More..." Tang Xiao frowned.
Yuri Orlov just looked at him.
Tang Xiao still frowned, "It's just that the current Mandalorian regime, led by Grand Duke Satine, has extremely strong cohesion. We tried to infiltrate it before, but failed. And, why Zane? ? If it is Black Sun, then it can be said that some things happened in advance... But why Zane?"
Yuri Orlov was completely confused, he couldn't answer a word.
Tang Xiao glanced at him again and said, "Okay, I understand. I will launch operations on the planet Mandalore. If I can find any clues about your brother, I will have him brought back."
"I owe you, Lord Governor." Yuri-Olov said, "That's all I can say."
"Your situation is actually quite good now. I won't force you to return to the Fourth Civilization. Just remember to give me a discount in the future." Tang Xiao waved his hand indifferently.
Yuri Orlov didn't say much, bowed and closed the communication.
Tang Xiao pondered for a long time. He took out his communicator and connected a communication that he hardly knew how to use.
The holographic image in front of him flickered for a while, and a powerful warrior with a broad face, a tall build, and a straight face appeared. However, the deep wrinkles and nasolabial folds on his face showed that he was no longer at his peak. age.
This man looks almost exactly like the current Galactic Republic clone army.
There is no doubt that he is Jango Fett, once the most powerful bounty hunter in the galaxy, and at the same time, he was also the leader of the true Mandalorians.
In the original plot, he was supposed to die in the battle on the planet Geonosis, but Tang Xiao's intervention caused a huge deflection in the direction of the battle. Jango Fett was also unintentionally taken away by Tang Xiao, so he has been Live until now.
However, because he joined the human cloning project, Jango Fett received enough money to spend the rest of his life. At the same time, the Kaminoans also cloned a clone for him that did not undergo any growth acceleration procedures. He gave The clone was named Boba Fett and raised as his own son.
Now that he has money and a son, Jango Fett's life goal is no longer on the mercenary battlefield, but back to his family. What happened in the previous Battle of Galederan also erased his respect for the Mandalorian and the Galactic Republic.
The last bit of goodwill and ambition for the Republic of China.
At least since the outbreak of the war until now, Jango Fett has hardly accepted any employment commissions.
Seeing that the person who sent the communication was actually Tang Xiao, Jango Fett frowned. His intuition told him that it must not be a simple matter for the unfathomable Governor of the Dawn Planet to come to him in person.
However, he couldn't refuse directly. After all, Tang Xiao was now one of the most powerful figures in the Confederation of Independent Systems, and he himself was now technically a citizen of the Confederation.
"Your Excellency Governor, may I ask...what do you want from me?" Jango Fett asked warily.
"I have an entrustment for you. The price is high." Tang Xiao said.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Governor, I've... not been in good health lately." Jango Fett declined directly.
"Don't you want to hear the contents of the commission?"
"Haha... I'm not in good health, so I can't do any commissions."
"It's about the planet Mandalore."
"Oh, then I will not accept this commission. The planet Mandalore has nothing to do with me anymore."
Tang Xiao said calmly: "This matter should involve Darth Sidious's former apprentice, Darth Maul, and it will also involve the Death Guard. If nothing else, they are plotting to launch a coup and usurp the new The Mandalorian regime is just around the corner."
Jango Fett was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said: "I am... not even a Mandalorian now..."
He paused again and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Governor." Then he closed the communication directly.
Tang Xiao frowned and thought for a while, then connected to another communication. A man wearing a gray robe and an old man's mask was projected in the holographic projection - the hermit, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"Do you have anything to say to me about the situation on Mandalore?" Tang Xiao asked directly.
"All I can say is that no matter what you want to do on the planet Mandalore, it is a very bad thing. The political significance of the planet Mandalore to the Galactic Republic will only be greater than you think." The Hermit He said calmly, "The Republic and even the Jedi Order will react very violently."
Tang Xiao originally wanted to use the incident of Grand Duke Satine to persuade him, but seeing the hermit's current condition, he suddenly gave up the idea. He closed the communication without saying much.
Then, he sat on the sofa, and for the first time since he hardly smoked, he lit a cigarette for himself and fell into deep thought.
