  2229: Lord of War (Part )

“I’m telling you! Be gentle! I’d rather shovel some dirt in than break those guns!” A middle-aged man casually dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and sunglasses pointed at the B-1 combat robot operating the forklift and shouted, “Anyway, the mud can be counted when weighing, but if the guns are broken, Newt Gunray and his idiots will really return them!!”

His hairline, which was almost reaching the top of his forehead, and his unkempt stubble also revealed this man's identity - Yuri Orlov, one of the most active arms dealers in the galaxy.

"Did you hear that? Put the shovel down a little! Gently!" Yuri Orlov shouted.

"Roger Roger!" the B-1 robot responded, and then scooped up at least a thousand blaster rifles with a shovel. There was an obvious sound of metal breaking inside.

"Fuck!" Yuri Orlov roared.

"Roger Roger!"

Bang! ! The next second, the B-1 combat robot was shot in the head.

"This is considered daily wear and tear, thank you!" Yuri Orlov placed a smoking large-caliber pistol in the hands of his assistant next to him and took a deep puff of his cigar.

The stimulation of nicotine spread from his lungs to his entire body. Yuri Orlov shuddered with comfort and then exhaled a long column of smoke.

"The Trade Federation needs at least 200 million individual light weapons and at least one month's supply of ammunition... and they are very interested in the Scorpion Annihilator Robot and require an increase in supply." The assistant said while recording on his personal terminal.

"Ha! Scorpion Annihilators?" Yuri Orlov spread his hands and yelled to the sky, "Fuck! Scorpion! Annihilators! Where the hell am I going to find more? I almost stripped Walter Tambor's fucking underwear off and he only has these thirteen! Do Skako people wear underwear?"

The assistant adjusted his glasses and answered seriously, "I think you should wear it, Mr. Orlov."

"Then tell Newt Gunray what I said! Stop asking for this and that all the time! Tell him that he can use whatever I send him! And he has to pay me!" said Yuri Orlov.

The assistant said, "I think he knows this, so he said that if there are none, it would be nice to have more Scorpio tanks. This type of tank was very useful in the battle on Planet Rosa."

"Wow! When it comes to bargaining, those Neimoidians are not sleepy anymore, right? Oh, sir, give me ten tons of gold. If not, ten credits would be good too. And then I think I got a great deal and happily give him ten dollars? Fuck!" Yuri Orlov imitated Newt Gunray's tone and immediately cursed, "Does he know that the more things the Principality of Dawn gives, the greater the risk that the Imperial Intelligence Department will find out about me!?"

The assistant replied: "Newt Gunray said that the recent offensive of the Galactic Empire has been very fierce. A week ago, they had organized a landing on the planet Cato Neimoidia and destroyed a large number of their supplies. Therefore, he is very worried that the Empire will organize another large-scale landing operation in the near future."

"Tell him that the hundreds of billions of credits he spent on planetary shields and orbital defense systems are not for show. These things are enough to protect him." Yuri waved his hand and said. "But... he kept talking about the statement between the Trade Union and the Principality of Dawn some time ago, which means that the Trade Union is now officially controlled by the Principality of Dawn. If you don't help him, it would be a betrayal of the Principality of Dawn." The assistant said.

Yuri Orlov's crazy look just now disappeared in an instant. He looked at the sky, sighed and said, "This statement is asking for our lives... I have always told you that in this business, if we want to survive, we can't leave obvious marks on ourselves. When selling weapons, it is best to sell them to both sides of the war... This is the way to protect ourselves. Why did I leave the Principality of Dawn and why did I go solo? If I didn't do this, I wouldn't be alive today. But this time..."

"The Principality of Dawn has sent ghost agents to protect you, and I also suggest that you return to the planet Dawn. It is too dangerous in a place like Tatooine." said the assistant.

"If I leave, who will get the weapons?" Yuri Orlov asked, "Who in this galaxy dares to sell weapons to the Trade Federation? Our inventory? This is the last of it. Now I can only go to Scarlet Dawn. They still have a batch of black market weapons, which are the replacement weapons of the former Galactic Republic. But this batch of weapons is a bit hot... After finishing this order, I really have to go back to Dawn."

As he spoke, he squatted down, picked up a stone, smashed it on a B-1 combat robot in front of him, and shouted, "So I told you to hurry up! I don't want to stay on this fucking lump of sand for even one more minute!"

"Roger Roger!"

The assistant quickly added, "The Trade Federation has provided a new hyperspace route this time. They said that this route is a seasonal route. We should have 20 days to use it."

Yuri Orlov waved his hands anxiously and said, "Have someone run two trips. If there is no problem, use it. Finish this order as soon as possible, and then tell Newt Gunray that I have done everything I can here!"

"Okay, sir."

……

"My Lord, I think the action against the Trade Union this time was a little too quick." Chief of Staff Qi Jian said to Tang Xiao, "The Galactic Empire claimed that the Trade Union was a traitor, but we controlled the Trade Union. In name, we were shielding traitors, but in terms of interests, we swallowed up something that the Galactic Empire wanted to eat at all costs. I think the Galactic Empire will not let this matter go."

"Why should I care about Palpatine's feelings? He intervened in the Chiss Territory with arms right after we had just successfully ended the Monggal-Monggal War, and even severely damaged the Ancient of Days supercarrier. We have already torn our relationship apart. It's a tacit understanding." Tang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Now we are relying on the Trade Federation to help us delay time until Operation Zero is completed."

Qi Jian nodded.

Tang Xiao went on to say: "Moreover, the more we express our stance, the more cautious the Galactic Empire will be when attacking the Trade Union. We are secretly planning Operation Zero, and the Galactic Empire is also afraid that we will suddenly start a war. Therefore, this declaration not only feeds Palpatine a mouthful of shit, but also prevents them from concentrating on dealing with the Trade Union, killing two birds with one stone. By the way, let Ling Liang continue to organize military exercises on the planet Eriadu for the Galactic Empire to see!"

"Yes!"
