"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?" Count 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!"
On the other side of the conference table, San Hill, the Co-Chairman of the Interstellar Banking Clan, cast a searching look at Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao just smiled and shook his head.
San Hill 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." Count Dooku said, Tang Xiao also understood that he really thought so.
"Then if that's the case, why are all of us present here the participants instead of Kuat, Rendili, or Corellia?" Tang Xiao asked back, pointing to the others present, and said: "Then to put it more bluntly, do you think we, the Trade Federation, Interstellar Banking Clan, Corporate Alliance etc, are any different from Kuat, Rendili, and Corellia?"
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 Count 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.
Nute Gunray, Viceroy of the Trade Federation, said: "Darth Sidious planned the Droid Riot at the Eriadu 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 Nute Gunray's eyes, and he knew that Nute Gunray was really scared.
Because after the Battle of Naboo, Nute Gunray felt extremely terrified. He once went to Count Dooku and told him about Darth Sidious, hoping that Count Dooku could inform the Jedi Order.
But now Count Dooku said that he was Darth Sidious's apprentice! How could this not frighten Nute Gunray?!
Tang Xiao gave Nute Gunray 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 Senator of the Alderaan? Orn Free Taa, the Senator of Ryloth?"
"When the time is right, we will naturally meet Darth Sidious himself. Now, what I am about to show you is the power that this great Sith Lord bestows on us!" Count Dooku finished, and nodded to Archduke Pogge.
Poggle 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 Space Station appeared in front of everyone and in the equatorial part of the Interstellar Base 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 were scrolled, indicating that the design of this Super Weapon has been completed, and 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!!
Count Dooku said: "What you see is the DS-1 Battle Station, a Super-Sized Combat Moon 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." Count Dooku said.
The others began to whisper among each other, obviously shocked by this Super Weapon.
But at this moment, the siren sounded again, Archduke Poggle looked at the communication, jumped up, and said angrily: "Those Jedi Knights are destroying our Anti-Orbital Cannons!"
"They're preparing for the Fleet's arrival! We've been discovered, and everything is over!" Nute Gunray's adjutant, Rune Haako, 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 Geonosis and destroy those Jedi Knights!"
During the communication, General Grievous said: "The Jedi Knights are attacking the Anti-Orbital Cannons, which means that they have a Fleet coming! I can't let the Fleet leave the Outer Orbit! Let the Sabaoth Squadron go down!"
"I will leave the command of the Fleet to you." Count 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 get caught?"
"They were blocked in the workshop by the Destroyer Droid, and they have already surrendered. They are being brought here and locked in the dungeon." Poggle said.
At the same time, three Sabaoth-class Destroyers of the Sabaoth Squadron descended from the sky and entered the atmosphere of Geonosis. They went directly to the Anti-Orbital Cannons, which were attacked by the Jedi Fleet, and began to engage the Jedi Fighters.
A large number of Nantex Fighters also took off from the hidden airports on Geonosis and rushed forward in black.
In the atmospheric environment, the Fighters of the Jedi Knights cannot fly out of the exaggerated speed in the space environment, but correspondingly, the Warships of the Sabaoth Squadron did not dare to open fire unscrupulously. Master Windu saw the opportunity and ordered the Jedi Master Adi Gallia to lead a team of Jedi Fighters to concentrate on attacking the Warships of the Sabaoth Squadron!
At this time, Count Dooku was also accompanied by Poggle to the dungeon below the main lair, and Tang Xiao, Nute Gunray, and San 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 Dawn. It's a pity we helped the wrong person back then." Obi-Wan Kenobi looked at Tang Xiao and said.
