The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

752、Taming (Medium)

"Close..." Upon hearing Darth Malthael's words, Newt Gunray fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the Neimoidian's flounder-like face wrinkled even more. "how do you know!!"

Darth Malthael was still drinking wine leisurely, "Of course I know, because you are the...war switch hidden by Darth Sidious. Since the Eriadu Business Summit, B- After the 1 battle robot riot incident, you logically installed this mechanism and instructions on all newly produced robots."

"This is... this is... an emergency system for safety." Newt Gunley still had a little luck. Because this matter is indeed his biggest secret, and as the relevant design engineer was killed by him, there should only be two people in the entire galaxy who know this switch!

Him, and Darth Sidious.

But now, how on earth did the dead angel know? !

"Let me tell you a story, Newt Gunray." Darth Malthael said slowly: "The war between the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Galaxies will last for two to three years."

He glanced at Newt Gunray, who was still shaking violently.

"But this war is fruitless for both sides. For the Confederacy, their strength cannot shake the Galactic Republic after all. The productivity gap between the two sides is too large. When the industrial world of the Republic is fully engaged, there will be a steady stream of The warships of the Confederacy will completely overwhelm the poor and backward planets of the Confederacy. Not to mention... there are Jedi Knights." Darth Malthael said.

"However, it is not easy for the Galactic Republic to defeat the Confederacy. With the Confederation of Independent Galaxies joined by thousands of galaxies, and the help of super enterprises such as the Trade Federation, the explosive power cannot be underestimated. In order to cope with the powerful enemy and the ever-changing situation, the Galactic Republic will continue to invest funds, expand the scale of debts, and expand the army more and more. , the Speaker of the Council will use the power of emergency ruling again and again to save the Galactic Republic from danger."

"So under such circumstances, the original loose and corrupt bureaucratic institutions of the Galactic Republic began to become more efficient, and power became more concentrated. Industry and military began to become the main core of the Republic. The Republic used war as an excuse to suppress civilians on all planets , create a high-pressure atmosphere, and put the entire regime on a fast track."

"Then... as long as he finds a way to get rid of the Jedi Order, he will not be far from his goal - the Galactic Empire. However, if he wants to become emperor, his reputation is still one step away. He must not only win the support of the common people, It is even more necessary to win the support of the oligarchs. Yes, I am talking about industrial giants such as Quarter, Corellia, and Nubia..."

Hearing that Darth Masail did not mention the names of the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association, the corners of Newt Gunray's mouth twitched.

"For the people, he needs a result with enough weight. Defeating the Federation of Independent Galaxies, ending the civil war, and reunifying the galaxy is the best immortal feat! Why is this feat so important? Because everyone can see Seeing the strength of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, the advantages at the beginning of the war have planted fear in everyone's heart. Anyone understands that it will take at least several years or even decades to defeat the Confederation of Independent Galaxies... But... What if he can do it immediately?" Darth Malthael continued, glancing at Newt Gunray.

"Because he has prepared a backhand for this day, a switch. Just enter the password, and the Federation of Independent Galaxy will immediately lose all its troops, and then be defeated in a short period of time, giving this person supreme glory! Because he He has done things that other people can't do at all, he is the most intelligent and powerful person in this galaxy... Then, if he proclaims himself emperor at this time, will anyone stop him?"

Darth Malthael smiled coldly, the lightsaber had already been held in his hand at some point, and with a swish, the blood-red plasma blade stopped less than 1 cm away from Newt Gunray's eyes!

"Tell me, should I destroy this switch?" Darth Malthael didn't even look at Gunley, he was still sitting on the seat with his legs crossed, holding his wine glass in the other hand, His voice was as eerie as that of a demon in the abyss.

With a plop, Newt Gunley fell to his knees, trembling all over, but couldn't speak a word.

Fear has completely dominated his heart.

However, Darth Malthael put away his lightsaber, and continued: "My story is not over yet. To defeat the Confederacy of Independent Galaxies and unify the Milky Way can only win the support of ordinary civilians. And those powerful oligarchs, They don't care about this...they want something more direct."

"Money, yes. Benefits, very good. Power, perfect." Darth Malthael said slowly, "However, the cake of the Milky Way has been divided up. Although the civil war is over, the cake of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies It's still the same cake as before, no change. To divide the cake, someone must be eliminated..."

He looked at Newt Gunley and said with a sneer: "The ones who are out, are they Kuat, Corellia, or Nubia who have made great contributions to the war? No, because they have been expanding during the war. The industrial strength has already surpassed the sum of the other planets in the galaxy. Those who are out of the game... are naturally the war criminals who launched the war."

Newt Gunley gritted his teeth and said: "This is impossible! I ended the war! If it weren't for me, the war would continue!"

Darth Malthael looked at him with pity, "Who knows?"

Newt Gunley was stunned as if hit by a heavy hammer.

"As long as all the insiders, including the leader of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, are killed, no one will know the truth of this single-handedly controlled war. The rest is to try the war criminals, using money, interests and power, Come to buy his own life... spit out the cake he has eaten, and give it to those he needs to win over." Darth Malthael slowly lifted his hood, revealing his true face, "As for Such things as killing people... the Jedi Order, of course, will be happy to do it."

"You...you...you..." Newt Gunley backed away as if seeing a man-eating monster, then sat down on the ground, raised his trembling fingers and pointed at the powerful and dark Sith opposite him Honorable Lord, "You are... Tang Xiao..."
