The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

962. Conspiracy

Earl Dooku stared fiercely at Tang Xiao, "Your Excellency, I remember just a few minutes ago, you just said that we have no retreat!"

"But you seem to think that you have a way out, Earl Dooku." Tang Xiao stood up slowly, put his hands on the table, leaned forward and stared at Earl Dooku, and said tit for tat.

"I... am no different from you..." The anger in Earl Dooku's heart had almost reached its peak, and the powerful force of the dark side almost made everything around him vibrate.

"No, you have it." Tang Xiao said lightly, "Everyone here is the leader of a planet or a star area, and the chairman of a super company whose business spans thousands of galaxies. That is to say, We are not only responsible for our own life and death, but also for the life and death of billions of people under us, what about you, Earl Dooku."

He went on to say: "Once the war fails, you can just leave, or you can go to jail for a few days. But we have to accompany hundreds of millions of people to bear the wrath of the victors." ... Count Dooku, now, do you still think we are the same?"

"What exactly do you want?" Earl Dooku asked coldly.

"I told you a long time ago, for the victory of the war." Tang Xiao replied.

"This war, you alone will never be able to win! This is also what you said." Earl Dooku said.

Tang Xiao's expression suddenly became relaxed, "That's why, we want to know the real identity of Lord Sidious, isn't it? The only reason we are willing to fight this war is that of Lord Sidious. Guaranteed. So we invested incomparably huge resources and money to fight this war, so now, it's time for Lord Sidious to give us a clear future, isn't it?"

Count Dooku looked around, and he found that things were a little out of his control, so he said in a deep voice: "Then, I will report this to Lord Sidious. And I can tell you now Guaranteed, this war will inevitably have a very ideal result for us."

"I think we still have time, so we can talk about it slowly." Tang Xiao said so, but he just sat here without moving his butt at all.

...

Earl Dooku got up and went to his secret room, sent a message to Darth Sidious, and waited for half an hour before he got a response from the other party.

"You stupid thing! I told you a long time ago, don't contact me casually! This may expose our relationship!" In the holographic projection, Darth Sidious, whose face was covered by a black cloak Very angry.

Earl Dooku quickly fell to his knees, bowed his head and said respectfully: "My lord, recently, the political situation of the Confederation of Independent Star Systems has become unstable, and more than 300 planets have openly opposed the Confederation's war policy. Let's be very passive."

Darth Sidious raised his hand suddenly, and a powerful force instantly spanned the distance of countless light-years, pinched Dooku's neck, and he said eerily, "This is the reason why you made me risk a lot. The reason for risking leaving the Capitol to answer your stupid communication? It is your own duty to manage the entire Federation of Independent Star Systems and then manipulate them into an all-out war with the Republic! Don't you still want to tell me now that you don't have this ability?"

With a plop, he threw Count Dooku several meters away in the air.

"You should understand that the same anti-war voices are coming out of the Galactic Republic now! And the scale is even more violent than your mere Confederation of Independent Galaxies! This matter has been foreseen at the beginning of our plan! What you have to do is Forcibly suppress these anti-war voices! End the war now? No! Not enough! The prestige of the Jedi Order is still there, and those who support the Republic have not died yet!" Darth Sidious roared angrily road.

Count Dooku hurriedly got up and explained: "The matter... the matter is more complicated. Because of this incident, several corporate giants including the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association are dissatisfied. They strongly demand that we give Give more guarantees to ensure that the war can end victoriously."

Darth Sidious said slyly: "This war is doomed, and those corporate giants will also become the nutrients of our new order, so as to be dismembered, acquired, digested... and deceive them, make sure they are stupid Isn't that what you should be doing, Darth Tyranus."

Earl Dooku was shocked when he heard the name Darth Tyranus, because he knew from the dead angel that the so-called Sith title bestowed on him by Darth Tyranus Sidious had nothing to do with it. Meaning, because it is not recorded in the Book of Sith, it is no different from a cat or a dog.

However, Darth Sidious still kept this matter from him even now.

Count Dooku suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and continued: "Behind this incident, there may be a black hand of the Angel of Death. He should have incited the Dawn Star and the Interstellar Banking Association to secretly unite..."

Only then did Darth Sidious stop his hand slowly, and snorted coldly, "Dead Angel... I have already said that! He is a huge obstacle to our plan! And he must have a deep relationship with Dawn Star!" relationship! If you want to kill him, you have to start with Dawn Star!"

"But..." Count Dooku hesitated to speak.

"I know it's not easy to take care of Dawn Star now." Darth Sidious said, "But you can do some other things first...for example, kill Tang Xiao..."

"But if Tang Xiao is killed..."

"Do it!" Darth Sidious roared suddenly, the sound was like a bell, even though half a galaxy was separated, the powerful dark side force contained in it made Earl Dooku take a few steps back and fell to the ground, "It's just this time The next time Tang Xiao colludes with others to make trouble, then kill him as a warning to others!!"

Then he paused, "The war must continue! The representative of Planet Onderon, since she took the lead in objecting, let her pay the price with her life! By the way, you can also get rid of Tang Xiao. Then I will assist you, Launch a terrorist attack in the core of Coruscant, and completely cut off the idea of ​​these corporate giants wanting to negotiate peace with the Republic! What awaits them is to use up the last bit of strength in the war, and then... use their lives to paint the war. Come to a full stop!"

"Yes..." Earl Dooku was terrified in his heart. He knew that Darth Sidious's mind could no longer be changed, and things... had to go on like this.
