The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1086: Slaughter Fat Sheep

Immediately afterwards, a Salarian fleet suddenly appeared on the planet Felucia. The strength of 10 Juggernaut-class drone motherships, 5 Doomsday Battlefield-class battlecruisers, and 20 Enforcer-class heavy destroyers made commercial operations Will not dare to act rashly at all.

However, this fleet just stopped here, and didn't do any more actions. It didn't mean to block the planets, and it didn't care about the spaceships coming and going on those planets.

Shu-Mai sent a representative to talk to the Salary fleet, but the other party did not respond at all. Shu-Mai had no choice but to make the planet prepare for all emergencies.

Of course, the commercial guild now has a fleet in its hands, but these fleets have not yet been recalled, and some of them were destroyed by the defenders of the Galactic Republic during the battle of the Dron galaxy.

But in the final analysis, Shu-Mai didn't dare to really recall the fleet, because if he did, it would be open confrontation with the Confederacy of Independent Galaxies.

And the Felucia planet where she is located is within the control area of ​​the Confederation, and there is no direct hyperspace channel connected to the control area of ​​the Galactic Republic. Once they really want to meet with the Confederacy of Independent Galaxies, they will probably be crushed within a few days.

Shu-Mai was not willing to sit still, she began to keep contacting super corporate giants such as the Interstellar Banking Association, the Trade Union, the Enterprise Alliance, and the Technology Alliance, hoping to find help, but all of these communications fell into the sea.

So she contacted the Galactic Republic...

The Galactic Republic gave a very positive response, but the long-distance water could not quench the near-thirst. The Galactic Republic is now devastated by the destruction of the clone factory on the planet Kamino. Where does the power go all the way to the planet Felucia? go?

Where is the planet Felucia? In the corner of the northeast corner of the plane star map of the Milky Way, go a little deeper and you will reach the Dak planet in the corner!

In the original plot, the Galactic Republic was able to start the Felucia Planet Raiders War because they had pushed the battle line to the outer ring of the galaxy at that time, and now? The two sides are still fighting to death in the Deron galaxy on the edge of the inner ring, and there is an entire middle ring between the outer ring and the outer ring!

The Intelligence Department of the Galactic Republic did a good job. On the one hand, they appeased Shu-Mai, told her not to worry, and not to offend Earl Dooku easily, and then quietly prepared the army, and waited until the king of the Galactic Republic arrived. The inside should cooperate with the outside, and return directly to the embrace of the Republic.

On the other hand, a very attractive price has been offered to the commercial guild, such as trade privileges in the outer ring star area, specific product exemption agreement for competitors, and tax privileges, etc. There are great benefits.

But anyway, Shu-Mai is not so stupid as to be fooled by these empty promises, so she began to communicate with the Republic secretly, and on the other hand, she quarreled with the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, trying to get both ways and win Return to your former position.

But what she didn't know was that in the eyes of Tang Xiao and Earl Dooku, she had already become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Just like the early days of the Galactic Empire established more than a year later in the plot, some benefits need to be used to satisfy the appetite of the vested interest class, so that they can come up with other things.

No matter how you make balance and compensation for this military reform, after all, it still touches the interests of super corporate giants such as the Interstellar Banking Association and the Trade Federation. It cannot be so simple.

Freemasonry is also playing a role, but it is impossible for them to lose money directly. In the final analysis, the big truth is just floating clouds, and it still has to fall on the interests in the end. Moreover, these corporate giants are not in the hands of their leaders alone, and there are still too many factions and interest disputes that need to be dealt with.

Therefore, it is the best way to slaughter the commercial guild as a fat sheep.

But is it really the best? You slaughtered one of the five most powerful corporate giants when the Confederation of Independent Galaxies was created, what would the other giants think? Will everyone be in danger?

Therefore, whether it is politics, economics, or interests, these things cannot be covered in one sentence, and the art of struggle in it can completely fill a whole bookshelf.

And these are the situations that Tang Xiao needs to face.

The complexity of the political struggle within the Confederation of Independent Galaxies is beyond imagination. Apart from other things, among the 12 franchise members at the core of the Confederation, if they want to create WeChat groups among themselves, at least 30 groups should be created. is no problem.

Now how to slaughter and eat the commercial guild is also a matter that needs careful consideration and balance.

After the Confederation of Independent Galaxy announced the military reform and the commercial guild failed to get even a sip of the soup, the factories and shipyards invested by the commercial guild had already started to have problems, and the managers and technicians resigned and quit. In order to keep these talents and preserve the possibility of a comeback as much as possible, the commercial guild began to countermeasure.

They greatly increased the salaries and benefits of core employees, and then opened multiple new projects and established multiple new departments, and these projects are all industries that have nothing to do with war.

After that, the commercial guilds began to take the lead in hostile acquisitions of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, and purchased all of them at a premium, creating a large fiscal deficit and debt, disrupting the market.

Then, the commercial guilds began to dilute their own equity by issuing new equity in large quantities, and repurchased the originally issued equity at a large premium, causing a huge bubble in market value under one entry and one exit.

But Tang Xiao and the others also had the support of a large group of senior actuaries from the Interstellar Banking Association. They bypassed the equity market, began to exert influence on the bottom employees, and focused on the planets to which the commercial guilds belonged.

Earl Dooku didn't stop, first of all, in the name of supporting the battle of the Eliadu galaxy, he assigned the planet Sullest to the Western Territory theater where the Dawn star was located, and accepted the unified jurisdiction of the Dawn star.

And the Sullust planet can be said to be the top three large industrial planets in the business guild!

The Sullesters also found that the situation was wrong. In addition, they had been fighting Tarkin's 18th Army for a long time, but they were beaten by Tarkin in a fancy way. The planet was even directly landed by the 18th Army. It can be said that In the midst of life and death.

Now that the dawn star army has arrived, they can finally feel proud.

Naturally, they were also very happy to hug Dawn's thick legs.

So Planet Sullust unilaterally announced its withdrawal from the commercial guild, and the planet's previous arrears were passed on to Planet Dawn. But for Tang Xiao, it is impossible to pay back the money, it just depends on his mood, so let's take the Sullust planet for now.
