Time passed between Tang Xiao and Qui-Gon Jinn's casual chat, and another day passed.
Until a Spaceship descended from the sky, the Spaceship was Black in color, with a ring at the tail, elegant and generous in shape, obviously a very Advanced Spaceship.
The Astero-class Exploration Frigate.
"Ah, my friend is here. It's time to say goodbye, Master Qui-Gon." Tang Xiao said.
"You have already made an arrangement. If that's the case, why do you need me to go to such trouble to help you repair the Communicator?" Qui-Gon Jinn laughed dumbfounded.
"Because the originally agreed time is still a few days away, I don't want to spend all day chatting with a bad old man like you." Tang Xiao said with a faint smile.
Qui-Gon Jinn shook his head, "We probably won't meet again."
"When the war is about to end, Master Yoda will come here. If I am still alive at that time, I will come again." Tang Xiao said.
"What did you see in the cave? Why are you so sure." Qui-Gon Jinn frowned.
"I saw the answer and more mysteries. Alright, goodbye." Tang Xiao waved his hand casually, and walked onto the Spaceship that had already landed.
Trent was already standing at the cabin door waiting for him, and he hadn't seen him for more than a year. Trent didn't know when he had a big beard for himself, and he was much older than before, but the spirit in him still overflows all around.
"Why were you talking and dancing about in the air just now?" Trent said with a smile.
"Can't you see? There is someone there." Tang Xiao said half-truthfully.
"Hehe, come on. I didn't expect you to have such a big heart. The war broke out, and you even ran out to explore alone. It's okay to explore. I knew it was dangerous and I didn't contact you for a few days. I came to you, and it turned out you are really here..." Trent touched his forehead.
Tang Xiao stretched his waist, patted Trent on the shoulder and said, "Sometimes, people also need to recharge their batteries so that they can stay active all the time, what do you think?"
"I don't believe a single word you say." Trent sneered.
"Ah, then I'm so sad." Tang Xiao made an exaggerated expression.
"Okay, okay, Governor, I'll send you back to the Endor System, hurry up and finish your war." Trent waved his hand.
"I'm not going to the Endor System, take me to Nar Shaddaa." Tang Xiao said.
"Why are you running to Nar Shaddaa when you have nothing to do?"
"Of course it's something... the Hutts." After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he went to sit on the seat, lowered the backrest, and fell asleep on his own.
...
Hutt Space, the Hutt's Homeworld Nal Hutta, Smuggler's Moon, Nar Shaddaa.
The Black Astero-class Exploration Frigate silently entered the Moon's atmosphere, and the countless 10,000-meter-high spiers on the Moon pierced the sky, making Nar Shaddaa, which is currently in cloudy weather, look like a Durian.
The reason why it is called Durian is because among the many fruits produced by Dawn, the Hutts unexpectedly like this kind of fruit with a strong and mellow taste, which earns 100 Million Credits of foreign trade income.
The Astero-class Exploration Frigate docked on one of the high towers, and after putting down a person, it took off and left without stopping.
Tang Xiao stood on the edge of the Loading and Unloading Platform of the Spaceport on the top of the tower, overlooking the sea of clouds below his feet from here, took out the Communicator, and the figure of the Prime Minister of the Fourth Civilization, Francis Underwood, appeared in the Holographic Projection.
"You are finally back Governor." Francis Underwood straightened his suit and stood still very gracefully.
"During the few days I left, nothing happened, right?" Tang Xiao asked.
"You have been away for a total of 11 days. During this period, the borders of the area currently controlled by the Fourth Civilization are basically relatively calm. Admiral Matt Horner conducted a Military Mobilization near Terminus, but the other party is very vigilant, they immediately sent a warning that if our Fleet continues to approach, they will immediately accept the garrison of the Galactic Republic. Other than that, we are dealing with the remnants of the 19th Army of the Republic everywhere." Francis Underwood said.
"What about the Confederacy of Independent Systems?"
"Count Dooku personally sent a communication, highly appreciating our previous Military Action to destroy the 19th Army. In addition, he hoped that we could reinforce Sullust. Recently, the 18th Army of the Republic has strengthened its attack on Sullust. Their operations did not stop because Governor Wilhuff Tarkin was seriously injured." Francis Underwood continued.
"Where's Krant?" Tang Xiao said a name coldly.
Francis Underwood was taken aback, but shook his head and said, "It was an accident..."
"There's never been an accident. Tell me why Krant is under attack." Tang Xiao said coldly.
"Krant is the Experimental Facility established by Count Dooku after we handed over the Decimator's Data to him. In order to ensure a Huge Energy Supply, an Energy Center was also established on the nearby Moon, Aereen. This project is sponsored by the Trade Federation, the Fourth Group. The Techno Union, the Commerce Guild, and the Retail Clan also sent representatives to join, and our representative was Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao. In fact, the Confederacy of Independent Systems did not pay enough attention to this project leaving Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao in charge." Francis Underwood said.
Tang Xiao nodded.
Francis Underwood continued: "However, later, the progress of the Decimator Project Experiment on Krant lagged behind. The main reason was that the Energy Supply of Aereen was insufficient. Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao went to Aereen in person, to coordinate with the Trade Federation Representative Plure Barron stationed there...but at this moment, a Tattered Venator-class Star Destroyer suddenly launched an attack."
"A Tattered Venator-class?" Tang Xiao frowned.
"That's right, all the signs of the Republic on the Battleship have been wiped off. But the Clone Troopers who landed from the Battleship are indeed Clone Troopers, although their Battle Armor looks very worn. However, it is said that this Army's Combat Capability is extremely strong, and it easily destroyed our defenses. It was also during this battle that Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao disappeared. Later we found him in the ruins. He was crushed under the fragments of an exploded AAT Tank. He was seriously injured and still receiving treatment at Dawn," Francis Underwood said.
"All the Planets involved in the Decimator Project should be kept absolutely confidential. Why would the Republic know about this? Also, why did the Republic's Warships appear in Hutt Space?!" Tang Xiao had a stern face.
