The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2292, ‘Leader’

The Galactic Empire’s fleet immediately launched an inhumane orbital bombardment on Neimoidia, even though the planet had evacuated most of its population and most of the remaining population was in underground bunkers. However, this orbital bombardment still caused the deaths of hundreds of millions of people!

And the continued blockade of the Imperial Fleet will also cause the remaining hundreds of millions of people to die tragically without help.

Then, Darth Vader personally led the Death Squadron and a large number of the Imperial Main Fleet to surround Balmora and began to bomb the planetary shield.

However, when bombing the planetary shield, Darth Vader discovered that there were flames on the planet from time to time. After scanning, it was discovered that the Neimoidians were actually destroying the industrial factories on Balmora in an organized manner!

This made Darth Vader furious, and he ordered all warships, regardless of size, to bomb the planetary shield with all their strength!

Two days later, the planetary shield was broken, and the Imperial Fleet directly lowered its altitude and carried out a concentrated orbital bombardment on the agricultural area of ​​Balmora!

At the same time, a large number of Galactic Empire Army set off on landing ships, airdropped in several major cities and industrial areas on Balmora, and launched a full-scale attack on the planet!

On Balmora, countless combat robots have completed the activation, and countless red indicator lights are lit on the endless array at the same time.

Balmora will resist to the end!

...

Tang Xiao certainly knew that his casual words "resist for two months" and Newt Gunray's casual words "yes" would cause the deaths of hundreds of millions of people, or even more than a billion people. But both he and Newt Gunray are just weighing the lives of more than a billion people on the scales at this moment.

Newt Gunray is for the survival of the race, the survival of the trade alliance, and his own future place in the Principality of Dawn. And Tang Xiao, he is for the victory of the previous war!

That's right, if you can't defeat the Galactic Empire, everything is empty talk!

But now that Newt Gunray has made a decision and taken action, he also needs to fulfill his promise to Newt Gunray.

He thought for a long time, then opened a drawer on his right.

This drawer was padded with black velvet, and was divided into dozens of small grids. Each small grid contained a unique communicator, and some communicators were even specially customized versions that were not circulated on the market.

And each of these communicators was one-way, and corresponded to a set of unique hyperspace signal repeaters, and then sent the communication signal to a unique object.

To maintain such a set of communications, it takes a huge amount of resources, so the objects corresponding to these communicators are all worth the price.

These grids were not full, Tang Xiao took out a smaller one and pressed the button to connect.

After about 5 minutes, the communication was connected, and a human-shaped black shadow appeared in the holographic projection. From this black shadow, it was impossible to tell the gender, race, height, weight, and body shape of this person. Moreover, even if the Force is used, no clues can be detected. There is no doubt that there are also Force masters around the other party.

It is very likely that it is the New Jedi Order.

"Long time no see, 'Leader'." Tang Xiao smiled and greeted him.

"Not long ago, about 17 standard days ago. When you arrested 80,000 opponents in the Model Star Region." The leader said coldly.

His voice was also processed by a voice changer, and it was impossible to tell what the original voice was.

This black shadow was the leader of the rebels who had just risen in the Milky Way, but had spread the fire to countless galaxies. No one knew his name, so he was just called 'Leader'.

"I want to ask you to do me a favor." Tang Xiao was very thick-skinned, pretending not to hear what the leader said just now, but just smiled and put forward his request.

"I refuse." The leader directly denied it.

"Why are you so willful? Are you a woman?" Tang Xiao said to him.

"Hmph! Don't forget what you did to my comrades! I will never help you with anything for you, the evil Sith Lord!" said the leader.

He paused, then changed the subject and said, "Unless you release all the more than 70 opponents arrested in the Model Sector in the past year!"

Tang Xiao sneered and shook his head, saying, "Let me talk about my business first. According to my instructions, the Trade Union will continue to resist to the end..."

"What did you say!! Do you know that this will cause countless casualties!!" The leader was furious.

But Tang Xiao ignored him and spoke to himself: "Balmora and Neimoidia will resist for at least two months. And my promise to the Neimoidians is that I will give them at least one habitable planet for resettlement."

"The Empire will undoubtedly kill every Neimoidian they see! It's because of the resistance order you issued!" The leader shouted, "If you want the Trade Union to consume the power of the Galactic Empire, you have done it! Their current situation is not suitable for further resistance at all!"

"So I need your help." Tang Xiao said lightly, "I know you have a certain influence on the imperial political arena. I hope you can push the Galactic Empire to change the massacre order against the Neimoidians to an expulsion order. The reason is simple. Now the Principality of Dawn can no longer feed the 600 billion people on the planet Rendili. Let them sink deeper and deeper into the abyss of famine... Okay, I have finished my request, and I want to make an offer."

The leader snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Do you care about the lives of those Neimoidians?"

"Don't worry about whether I care or not. In short, according to statistics, there are still about 12 billion Neimoidians in the empire, and most of them are scattered in many trade centers. Therefore, if the Galactic Empire does not take the initiative to let them out, no one can guarantee that they will leave alive."

"If you drive them out, you can feed them? If your immigration policy is a little more conservative, there will not be so many opponents in the Model Star Region now." The leader said.

"How about you provide for them?" Tang Xiao asked back, "Anyway, I want them to come out alive, so it's naturally useful. If you don't agree, then let them all be slaughtered by the Galactic Empire. And to be honest, these Neimoidians are of little use to you rebels. They are all businessmen, the kind that dare not fire even if they are given a gun."

The leader pondered for a long time before he said, "All 700,000 political prisoners in the Model Sector will be released."

Tang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Not all of them. Those who have killed people will not be released. Organizers and advocates will not be released."

"One billion imperial credit points, in cash!"

"No problem, Newt Gunray will give you this money even if he sells everything he has."

"Battleships! Ten!"

"The upper limit is light cruisers, not active, no larger ones will be given. I will increase the number to 20 for you."

The leader pondered for a moment and said, "Finally, I can't guarantee that all Neimoidians will agree to go to the Principality of Dawn."

Want to screen them first? What a blessing. I just thought those liberals were annoying!

Tang Xiao agreed immediately, "Okay, deal!"
