The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

512. The Battle of Geonosis (2)

"That's right! Darth Sidious is the name of this great Sith Lord! The Galactic Republic has been decayed and stagnant for a long time. This is the time when the Republic is weakest. If we don't destroy the Republic at this time, When will we rule the galaxy?" Earl Dooku said with open hands, "Darth Sidious has been planning for this great cause for decades, and now we are the ones who are the ones who will lead to this great plan." Participant!"

On the other side of the conference table, Sang Hill, the co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association, cast a searching look at Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao just smiled and shook his head.

Thorn-Hil understood, bowed his head and stopped talking.

At this time, Tang Xiao asked, "Did you just say that this great Sith Lord holds a high position in the Republic?"

"That's right! It's also because of this that he can cooperate with us internally and externally to destroy the rule of this republic." Earl Dooku said, Tang Xiao also understood that he really thought so.

"Then if that's the case, why are all of us here present the participants instead of Quarter, Rendili, or Corellia?" Tang Xiao asked back, pointing to the others present, and said: "Then I To put it more bluntly, do you think we, the Trade Federation, Interstellar Banking Association, Enterprise Alliance, etc., are any different from Kuat and Rendili?"

This question was very sharp, several other people also frowned and looked at Count Dooku.

"Because they are the ruling core of the Republic, they are the Republic itself, and it is impossible for them to overthrow themselves! What we have to do is to unite all forces, overthrow these vested interests, and then establish a powerful new Order!" said Count Dooku.

Tang Xiao didn't want to argue with Earl Dooku at first, he just wanted to put this issue on the surface, and now that his goal was achieved, he just nodded and stopped talking.

Newt Gunray, Governor of the Trade Federation, said: "Darth Sidious planned the robot riot at the Eliadu Business Summit, and this incident also shows that he has great powers and hands in the Galactic Republic. It is precisely because of this that I am willing to join his plan. I believe you are the same, right? Governor Tang Xiao."

Tang Xiao had long noticed the fear deep in Newt Gunley's eyes, and he knew that Newt Gunley was really scared.

Because after the Battle of Naboo, Newt Gunray felt extremely terrified. He once went to Earl Dooku and told him about Darth Sidious, hoping that Earl Dooku could inform him of this matter. The Jedi Order.

But now Earl Dooku said that he was Darth Sidious's apprentice? ! How could this not frighten Newt Gunley.

Tang Xiao gave Newt Gunley a bright smile and said, "Of course, the power of Darth Sidious is indeed frightening. It's just that I care more about it than this." Yes, which high-ranking official in the Republic is Darth Sidious? Bail Organa, the member of the Odiron planet? Ornn Free Tower, the member of the Rynoth planet?"

"When the time is right, we will naturally meet Darth Sidious himself. And now, what I am about to show you is the power that this great Sith Lord bestows on us!" Count Dooku finished , nodded to Grand Duke Poger-Inferior.

Pogle-Inferior took out a storage device, and projected the contents directly onto the huge holographic projection in the middle of the conference table.

The projection of a spherical interstellar base appeared in front of everyone! And in the equatorial part of the interstellar base like this planet is a very obvious trench, and there is a huge dish-shaped device in a conspicuous position of the interstellar base.

Around the projection, countless data and exploded diagrams scrolled, indicating that the design of this super weapon has been completed, and it is only waiting to start construction.

Seeing this design drawing, not only the others present, but even Tang Xiao's heart beat violently! There is no doubt that this thing is one of the most terrifying weapons in "Star Wars" - the Death Star (Death Star)! !

Earl Dooku said: "What you see is the DS-1 platform, a super-giant combat satellite with a diameter of 120 kilometers. And when it is completed, it will have the power to directly destroy any planet, and no planetary shield can resist it." ! This is the guarantee of our victory! This is the proof of Darth Sidious's supreme power!"

"Building this thing will crush our finances," Tang Xiao said.

"Think about the day when the Republic bows its knees before this super weapon and begs for its life! All investments will be rewarded." Earl Dooku said.

The others began to whisper among each other, obviously shocked by this super weapon.

But at this moment, the siren sounded again, Grand Duke Poger-Inferior looked at the communication, jumped up, and said angrily: "Those Jedi Knights are destroying our orbital defense cannon!"

"They're preparing for the fleet's arrival! We've been discovered, and everything is over!" Newt Gunley's adjutant, Lune Harkow, said in horror, clutching his head.

"We haven't gotten to the point where we're scared by just 200 Jedi Knights." Count Dooku said coldly, "General Grievous! Let the fleet enter the atmosphere of Planet Geonosis and destroy those Jedi Knights!"

During the communication, General Grievous said: "The Jedi Knights are attacking the orbital defense cannon, which means that they have a fleet coming! I can't let the fleet leave the outer orbit! Let the Sabos battle group go down!"

"I will leave the command of the fleet to you." Earl Dooku stroked his snow-white beard after finishing speaking, and said, "This is also a good opportunity to lure those Jedi Knights over and wipe them out...the Jedi Knights are so large. It's not common to see them out. Did those two Jedi in the factory catch them?"

"They were blocked in the workshop by the Destroyer robot, and they have already surrendered. They are being brought here and locked in the dungeon." Pogger-Inferior said.

At the same time, three Sabos destroyers of the Sabos Chapter descended from the sky and entered the atmosphere of the planet Geonosis. They went directly to the Orbital Defense Cannon, which was attacked by the Jedi fleet, and began to engage the Jedi fighters.

And a large number of Nantex fighter jets also took off from the hidden airports on the planet Geonosis, and rushed forward in black.

In the atmospheric environment, the fighter jets of the Jedi Knights cannot fly out of the exaggerated speed in the space environment, but correspondingly, the warships of the Sabos Chapter did not dare to open fire unscrupulously. Master Windu saw the opportunity and ordered the Jedi Master Adi-Ga Leah leads a team of Jedi fighters to concentrate on attacking the warships of the Sabos Chapter!

At this time, Earl Dooku was also accompanied by Pogle-Inferior to the dungeon below the main lair, and Tang Xiao, Newt Gunley, and Thorn Hill followed behind.

Only Obi-Wan-Kenobi and Anakin-Skywalker were locked in the middle of the dungeon by the laser force field and could not move.

"Long time no see, Governor of Planet Dawn, it's a pity we helped the wrong person back then." Obi-Wan Kenobi looked at Tang Xiao and said.
