The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2226 Head-to-head confrontation

2227, head-to-head confrontation

Looking at the paper document in his hand, although it was just a few light pages of paper, in Newt Gunray's hand, it seemed heavier than a mountain.

Because once he agrees and signs the document, the days of the Trade Union as an independent and autonomous business entity will become history.

"Thorn Hill! The Interstellar Banking Association! Where are they?" Newt Gunray asked, raising his head sharply.

"As banking institutions, I will give them greater independence. But at the same time, they will gradually be nationalized. This is an overall framework that cannot be changed," Tang Xiao said lightly.

"Is this taking advantage of someone's misfortune?" Newt Gunray murmured, not knowing whether he was talking to Tang Xiao or to himself.

"On the contrary, if it weren't for the fact that your resistance actions on Rosa, Vulture, and those wealthy planets showed enough value, you wouldn't even be able to see this document." Tang Xiao said, "Perhaps in that possibility, it can be described as taking advantage of the fire to rob."

"And if I sign this document, the Trade Federation will be completely tied to the Principality of Dawn and must do its utmost to support the war against the Galactic Empire," said Newt Gunray.

"I will bet everything I have, including my life, to ensure the achievement of this goal." Tang Xiao stood up, walked to Newt Gunray, stretched out his hand and tapped on the document, "I will risk everything, not even death can stop my determination to destroy the Galactic Empire. Whether there is a trade union or not, I will fight to the death, you know what I mean..."

Newt Gunray's body began to tremble. He knew what Tang Xiao meant: since Tang Xiao was willing to risk his life to fight Darth Sidious to the end, if you chose not to support him at this time, he would naturally risk his life to do everything that could increase his own strength.

Including but not limited to...

Tear the trade alliance apart and eat it completely!

"I..." Newt Gunray wanted to think about it again, just like his reaction every time he faced a major decision, he didn't have the courage to make a decision on the spot.

But when he raised his head and looked into Tang Xiao's emotionless and cold eyes, he couldn't utter the word "consider" after all.

Finally, he sighed resignedly and signed his name on the document with trembling hands.

……

12BBY, April 10.

The Trade Union publicly announced that it would move its headquarters to the planet Mygeeto and accept state control from the Principality of Dawn, with the state-controlled shareholding ratio reaching 51%, completely turning to nationalization.

At the same time, the Principality of Dawn also directly announced that it would respect all corporate interests of the Trade Alliance, respect all wealth sovereignty preserved in the wealth world, and respect the commercial power of all client worlds of the Trade Alliance.

  This declaration is equivalent to cutting off the source of the fire!

Because the wealth world of the Trade Union contains not only the wealth of the Trade Union itself, but also the wealth of many wealthy and noble families in the core circle of the galaxy.

The meaning of the world of wealth is not just about preserving wealth, but also a huge health planet that provides an unimaginably luxurious and comfortable place for entertainment for every wealthy person who has huge financial transactions with the Trade Alliance.

The Principality of Dawn declared that it respects the sovereignty of wealth in the world of wealth, which is equivalent to recognizing that these preserved wealth are valid and that these wealth belong to the original owners and cannot be plundered by anyone.

This naturally meant a direct confrontation with the Galactic Empire! The Galactic Empire immediately responded by stating that their military actions would never touch any property stored on the Fortune Planet, and that all their actions were aimed at the Trade Alliance that betrayed the Empire. As for the Principality of Dawn, which supported the Trade Alliance, the Galactic Empire asked them to think carefully, because harboring traitors meant committing the same crime!

However, the response of the Principality of Dawn was that the affairs of the Trade Union were business activities and should not be linked to politics. The Principality of Dawn's investment in the Trade Union was also a business investment and had nothing to do with treason.

On October 10, the Galactic Empire announced that it would completely cut off the Rendili trade route and cut off Rendili's external traffic. At the same time, it announced trade sanctions against the Principality of Dawn, raising import and export tariffs by 25%.

The Principality of Dawn also expressed great regret and said they would take equivalent trade sanctions.

……

  At the same time as this war without the smoke of gunpowder broke out, somewhere on the planet Cato-Neimoidia, there was a hail of bullets!

This is a section of rail transport line. A rail freight car is being attacked. An A-shaped mark is spray-painted on the freight car, which is the mark of Giant God Security Company.

Da da da da~~~!! Bullets were fired densely, and the hunter ran quickly, constantly using obstacles to cover himself to avoid the dense shooting.

  Swoosh! With a slight gunshot, the Giant God Security Company gunman who was firing wildly with a fixed blaster machine gun was shot in the head!

The crosshair hid in a tree a thousand meters away, holding the blaster sniper rifle very calmly, and changed his position. Almost at the same time, the place where he was just now was penetrated by several bullets.

"This sound...M-29 Mantis..." The crosshair muttered to himself, began to count the time silently, symbolically fired another shot, and immediately dodged.

Bang! ! The unique crisp sound of live ammunition shooting rang out, and before that, the place where he had just fired was penetrated once.

  However, the crosshairs had already calculated the firing rate of the M-29 Mantis sniper rifle. He quickly re-positioned the blaster sniper rifle, took aim in less than a second, and then fired!

Swoosh! ! The sniper on the opposite side, who was wearing the black combat uniform of Giant God Security Company, was shot in the head!

"Hahahahaha!! Charge!!!" The Obstacle Clearance King laughed wildly. He held a portable energy shield generator to block his front. In the other hand, he held a six-barrel blaster machine gun and fired crazily.

  The weight of these two pieces of equipment alone exceeded 80 kilograms, and with the heavy armor he was wearing, the weight reached a terrifying level. If it were an ordinary clone soldier, it would take at least two people to carry such a set of equipment, but he was able to move at full speed!

On the battlefield, the Obstacle Clearer is a tank that moves at high speed and remains flexible!

The B-1 combat robots that swarmed in were destroyed one by one. Although there were thousands of combat robots here, they were unable to form an encirclement due to their powerful breakthrough capabilities.

Beard and Leaf walked on the battlefield like two ghosts. Their equipment was different, with jetpacks on their backs, imitating the equipment of the Mandalorian super commandos. But their jetpacks were more complex, using vector nozzles and four smaller auxiliary nozzles to assist in steering.

This made their flying movements almost dazzling. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the more advanced fire control system of the B-2 super battle robot could not lock on to their movements! As for the poor processor of the B-1 battle robot, it couldn't even touch their shadow.

Only those who have awakened the Force to a certain extent can control such equipment! The two of them roamed freely on the battlefield, hunting down every high-value tactical target.

"Attention, a formation of Banshee fighters is approaching us, we have three minutes." The technician hid behind the bunker and shouted while shooting.

Medical soldier Tie He was also hiding here, providing fire cover for the front, while Hui Sheng was guarding around them to prevent the two with weaker combat capabilities from being attacked.

"One minute is enough." Rainbow's steady voice appeared in the communication, "The bomb has been planted, we retreat."

He was almost completely invisible in his optical camouflage combat uniform, and there was no way to tell where he was.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Accompanied by a violent explosion, the railroad truck loaded with goods was blown directly into the sky, and the track was also blown off!
