The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1007. Changes in the Interstellar Banking Association

Obi-Wan Kenobi stepped off the spaceship and came to the spaceport on the planet Utapa.

The planet Utapa is located in the very remote southern part of the Milky Way. The planet is jointly controlled by two races, the Uta and the Par. This planet also has a relatively developed industry, but at the moment when the war broke out, the Utapa planet is currently declaring neutrality .

After stepping off the spaceship, Obi-Wan Kenobi hurriedly tried to get in touch with his troops. Fortunately, he finally managed to get in touch, but unfortunately, the Republic army had already withdrawn from the planet Marathal.

At this moment, Cody, the commander of the 212th Assault Battalion, was in the retreating Cheer-class assault landing ship. He was very excited when he heard Obi-Wan's voice, "General Obi-Wan! I never thought I could hear your voice again in this life." It's really good! At that time... I thought you were dead..."

"What happened next?" Obi-Wan asked.

"The battle was very difficult at that time, but after you were shot, the opponent's Black Legion obviously didn't pay attention to us. So we were able to break out, but 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 on the battlefield of the Eliadu galaxy, supplies cannot be sent in, so it is meaningless to open up the hyperspace channel of the Marathal Fjord. Moreover, in the Maratha Planet Starr, our loss is too great..." Cody's voice sank, and the joy of getting the news that Obi-Wan was still alive just now disappeared.

Yeah, another retreat, another failure.

The retreat of the Galactic Republic from the planet Marathal is also tantamount to their acquiescing to the failure of the battle in the Eliadu galaxy. Although Eliadu planet is still resisting tenaciously under the support of the planetary shield, how long they can hold without foreign aid, even the most optimistic generals dare not make a good conclusion.

At present, among the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic, one of the more popular strategies is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and it is said that they are also planning for this.

Obi-Wan Kenobi was also in extremely complicated mood at the moment, he said: "Then, you should go back to the station to rest according to the arrangement. I need to go to the Jedi Temple in Coruscant to meet Master Yoda..."

"Yes, General." Cody replied.

Putting the communicator back into his pocket, Obi-Wan Kenobi looked around. Although the planet Utapa was known as a neutral planet, there were still some B-1 battle robots patrolling around. Even if the symbol on their chests is not the hexagon of separatism, it still makes people feel uneasy.

Obi-Wan sighed, wrapped his coarse cloak tighter to cover his face, and blended in with the crowd and squeezed into a passenger spaceship where miners often sat, and the conditions were extremely poor.

...

At the same time, after seeing off Obi-Wan Kenobi, Tang Xiao was still busy.

Recently, because of the internal reorganization of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, he has been constantly dealing with Ainle-Tim, the Freemasons, and Count Dooku in order to find the most suitable way to reorganize.

For nothing else, at least, let the Confederation of Independent Galaxies last longer on the battlefield, and at the same time, let the fire of the prairie fire burn more vigorously.

He is very convinced that if he does not exert influence on this matter, it is impossible for the Fourth Civilization to survive until the establishment of the Rebel Alliance under the pressure of the future Galactic Empire.

Time is always the most scarce thing.

He had finally been free for the past few days, and finally had the opportunity to carry out another plan of his own.

A coordinate has been marked in his universal tool, and the person who sent this message is Xerakas! The leader of the Protoss Sirak tribe!

But when he was about to leave, he was delayed by another communication.

Interstellar Banking Association, Co-Chair, Thorn Hill.

He invited Tang Xiao to the planet Mulinster to attend a dinner party, and Tang Xiao understood that, in fact, he had something to say.

The shuttle was very remote on the planet Mulinster, and it didn't land on the island marked on the map at all——Abola Island, once Hego Damask II, Tang Xiao's master Darth Pu Regus' secret lab.

After Tang Xiao arrived at Abola Island, Thorn Hill carefully sent a navigation request, and only after obtaining approval did he dare to drive the spaceship here by himself.

Stepping off the shuttle, San-Hil was a little embarrassed. He kept grabbing the skirt of his clothes, and he was still looking around, feeling terrified.

Here, Tang Xiao doesn't need to be polite to Thorn Hill, because on Abola Island, he is the master here! At the same time, it is also the owner of Thorn Hill - Darth Malthael!

"It looks like you're in a lot of trouble, Your Excellency the Co-Chairman." Darth Masail said sarcastically, "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..." Thorn Hill looked at Darth Malthael with a trace of fear in his eyes, "I... I'm worried that my co-chairman position won't last long..."

Darth Malthael had expected it, but was a little surprised, "So fast?"

Sang Hill said: "My lord, you really have found out. Indeed, I can still use some means to continue. However, 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."

Darth Malthael nodded slightly, he knew that this would happen sooner or later.

Sang Hill originally relied on the support of Hego-Damask II to take the position of co-chairman, and even though Hego was dead, Yu Wei was still alive and won his first re-election. But now, the forces within the Interstellar Banking Association have already been reshuffled. The most obvious sign is that the Damask Holding Group currently under the control of Darth Masail has been gradually cleared out of the Interstellar Bank. The industry system of industry associations.

This group has become the property of the fourth civilization.

In fact, this is not a good thing.

Now, Sang Hill has indeed invested too much resources into this war, and such illegal investment has given him many excuses. Those who covet his position, it is strange not to seize these excuses and attack desperately.

Thorn-Hill went on to say: "It was still because of the investment problem of the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier this time. Rush Clovis vetoed this investment. We can only hand over this fund to the Galactic Republic. Moreover, he secretly arranged Another investment, on the planet Geonosis, to jointly develop a super tank with the Techno Union."

Darth Masail 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 Union and Count Dooku. This matter, It's coming for us...Darth Sidious, he's very clear about his goals."

Thorn Hill bowed his head and said, "That's true, Clovis is now launching a fierce attack on me with Palpatine's secret support."
