2298. The End of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies (Part 1)

"It's not worth the loss, Earl Dooku! We shouldn't waste precious warships in such a war of attrition that has no chance of winning!!" The holographic image of Newt Gunley, Governor of the Trade Union, appeared in front of Earl Dooku. He said eagerly.

"This battle is imperative! We must seize the midpoint station! If the Republic is allowed to get the midpoint station, Palpatine will undoubtedly open fire directly on the Lassex galaxy, and even on every owner of our confederation. The galaxies of the heavy industry system are firing," Count Dooku said slowly.

"You didn't say that when you mobilized these fleets before!! You said that it was just like the Marathal planet, just posing to scare the Corellian people! You didn't say that you would talk to the Republic like this The main fleet is desperate!" Newt Gunley was obviously impatient, and he uncharacteristically accused Earl Dooku.

Count Dooku glanced at him, and said slowly: "The situation of the war is changing rapidly. Although I don't want to use our main fleet to fight desperately, the Republic's fleet has already arrived at Corellia and started to occupy it. You can't just sit back and watch the Republic get the halfway point."

"But our agreement is not like this!! You have no right to let our precious battleship go to death like this!!" Newt Gunley roared loudly, and he also gave up.

Count Dooku looked up at him, and said coldly: "Our agreement does not include that you have the right to question my decision like this!"

"It was Lord Darth Sidious who actually signed the agreement with us! Not you! If it weren't for that Lord, we wouldn't have agreed to your request so simply and joined the Confederacy to fight against the Republic!!" New T-Gonley pointed at Count Dooku's nose and roared.

Earl Dooku sneered, "To this day, do you still think that you are serving Darth Sidious? Do you think that the current Republic still has a foothold in your trade alliance? The Republic will soon be gone. , replaced by the Galactic Empire! Darth Sidious can't even tolerate Rendili, let alone you!"

At this time, the holographic projection flickered, and four more figures appeared around.

"According to the agreement, we demand that the war dividends be honored immediately!" The speaker was Sang Hill, chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association.

Earl Dooku looked around. The Governor of the Technology Union, Walter Tambor, the Governor of the Enterprise Alliance, Passel Argent, and the Governor of the Commercial Guild, Shu Mai, were all staring at him. But compared to other people, the eyes of Walter Tambor and Passel Argent were a little flickering. Whenever Earl Dooku's eyes looked over, they avoided them intentionally or unintentionally.

"The war is not over yet, are you all so anxious to ask for a bonus?" Earl Dooku asked slowly.

"It was you who violated the agreement first! Don't think I don't know, you want to destroy these fleets to make us lose our ability to resist! And the pan-galactic national socialism you strongly supported before also wanted to drive us out The political center!! In other words, you want to renege on your debt, right!!" Thorn-Hil snapped.

Newt Gunley opened a light screen, and countless data were drawn across it. He transmitted the data and said: "We have calculated the amount of our war dividends according to the agreement. According to the number of our major commercial entities in For the sacrifices made during the war, the Trade Federation will accept the sovereignty of 463 galaxies and receive goods and cash worth 1.6 trillion credits!"

"The Interplanetary Banking Association shall accept sovereignty over 412 galaxies,

And will have the right to spark currency in the Confederacy of Independent Systems. ’ said Thorn-Hill.

Newt Gunley looked at Walter Tamber and others, and then said: "The Technology Alliance will get 271 galaxy sovereignty, 900 billion credit points of goods and cash. The Enterprise Alliance will get 233 galaxy sovereignty, 750 billion credit points Points of goods and cash. The commercial guild will get the sovereignty of 98 galaxies, 500 billion credit points of goods and cash."

A smile of successful plot appeared on Thorn-Hil's face, and he laughed: "Of course, the annual financial income of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies is not enough to pay this sum, but it doesn't matter, our Interstellar Banking Association is willing to provide you with A loan of 5 trillion credit points, the time is negotiable, but the interest rate..."

Earl Dooku's cheeks twitched, obviously, with his experience of more than 80 years old, he was not taken lightly by the aggressiveness of Thorn Hill and others. He took a deep breath and said: "At the moment when the war is at its most critical, doing so is tantamount to directly destroying the economic system of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. This kind of behavior is not like what a businessman should do."

Newt Gunley said: "In business and business, the agreement is like this, and there is nothing we can do."

"And if we don't make the request now, are we going to sit back and watch you wipe out our fleet?" Thorn Hill also echoed.

"Actually, we have already issued an order to the frontline commanders to start their retreat. So your best choice is to fulfill this agreement quickly, and then I will order the fleet to cooperate with you, so that you have the opportunity to follow Dar Lord Sidious, have a good talk," Newt Gunray said.

Earl Dooku did not get furious as they expected, but continued to say: "Actually, you should also know that if I go to negotiate with Darth Sidious under such circumstances, it is actually a humble pleading Mercy makes no difference, does it?"

"This is between you and Darth Sidious, and has nothing to do with me. We are just fulfilling the agreement." Thorn Hill said expressionlessly.

"Hahahahahaha!!!" Earl Dooku stroked his beard and laughed loudly. He pointed at Thorn Hill and said, "Darth Sidious's master, Darth Plagueis It’s the Muun people, and you are also a high-level executive of the Interstellar Banking Association, and you are also his confidant who was single-handedly promoted. Do you think that no one else knows about these black histories?”

Thorn Hill's expression changed slightly, but he didn't speak either. Earl Dooku pointed to Newt Gunley and said: "As for you, you have long succumbed to the power of Darth Sidious's dark side and become his lackey. His power is still with you Haunts inside of you, doesn't it?"

Then Earl Dooku put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and said in a dignified manner: "You are Darth Sidious's last insurance, as long as you exist, the economy of the Federation of Independent Galaxy will be pinched by him at any time." In his hands, he will be invincible in this war."

He glanced around, "You are all just a bunch of greedy, cowardly and cowardly people who want to make money like an independent regime, but don't want to take responsibility as a country, so Darth Sidious seized At this point, I propose such an agreement for you. Once the agreement is fulfilled, everyone in the entire Federation of Independent Galaxies will become your slaves! But..."

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Earl Dooku's mouth: "Do you really think that I have nothing to do? I don't know if you have heard such a word—Order Zero."
