2300: The End of the Confederacy of Independent Systems (Part Two)
Next to Newt Gunley, Sang Hill, Shu Mai, Walter Tambor, and Passel Argent were also present. They were temporarily hiding here under the protection of their respective trusted guards, waiting for Count Dooku to be cornered and then bow down to them for mercy.
Wouter Tambor and Passel Argent seemed a little embarrassed. In fact, among the five business tycoons, San Hill was a hidden chess piece that Darth Preggs had planted decades ago. He had single-handedly promoted the ambitious San Hill from the bottom until he sat in the position of governor. The power struggle in the Galactic Banking Association was cruel and dark beyond imagination. Even someone like Darth Preggs had been assassinated and almost died there. He had even been traumatized, which showed how terrifying it was.
Therefore, San Hill was actually loyal to Darth Sidious. It was also because of Sidious' arrangements that he seemed to wholeheartedly support the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but in fact, he had plans to take drastic measures, withdraw his investment, and leave at any time.
Newt Gunley's situation was similar. In the process of his rise, he had also received help from Darth Sidious and succumbed to the power of the dark side very early on. Although he was just an ordinary person, it did not mean that he could not feel the vast power of the dark side of Darth Sidious.
As for the president of the business guild, Shu Mai, she was an insatiable and ruthless person. She joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems to make money. As for how many people would die and how many sins she would commit, she did not care at all. Everyone who stood in her way of making money was her enemy. Now, it was Count Dooku and Tang Yu.
However, Wouter Tambor and Passel Argent were different. They really felt that they could achieve something by following Count Dooku and make a lot of money. Moreover, their home planets were in the outer ring. They pursued the same result, but their mentality was different. Therefore, there was a subtle change in their standpoint. In addition, in the battle of Murkana, Tang Yu defeated General Tarkin's troops and rescued the Kuria's homeworld. This made Passel Argent's sense of identity with Tang Yu and the Confederacy a lot stronger.
However, the current situation was too confusing, so Walter Tambor and Passel Argent didn't jump out to support Count Dooku. They knew it would be difficult for Count Dooku to turn the tables. Since he couldn't turn the tables around, he might as well make some money and leave. He was a businessman, after all.
"But Count Dooku didn't seem worried at all …" Passel Argent voiced his doubts.
Newt Gunley sneered. "He's just bluffing! What else could he do now? All the robots in the Federation of Independent Star Systems had shut down! After all, 99% of the Confederation's combat forces were robots! No matter how powerful Tang Yu's intelligent robots are, no matter how difficult it is to decipher them, in the end, all the parts of the robots are produced by the Trade Alliance! The robots don't go through their programming to shut down, so Tang Yu can't stop them! "
He said he wasn't worried, but in fact, he said so much because he wasn't confident and wanted to cheer himself up. Count Dooku's attitude just now really scared him.
"There's nothing to say! Count Dooku must die!! After the Confederation of Independent Star Systems collapses, we will occupy the galaxy we agreed upon according to the agreement, and then everything will be under control! By then, the Confederation will be gone, and the Republic will be greatly weakened. In our own galaxy, won't we be able to do whatever we want? What are you worried about at this point? "Shu Mai yelled.
Hearing this, Passel Argent and Walter Tambor looked at each other, lowered their heads, and did not say anything.
In fact, their worries were reasonable. As experimenters who already knew the various secrets of the Star Wars world through the settings, it was natural to prepare in advance as much as possible.
Tang Yu told Count Dooku in advance about the secret relationship between San Hill and Darth Pregus. This relationship was known to no more than five people in the entire Milky Way Galaxy. Moreover, he also knew very well that Newt Gunley was Darth Sidious' servant. After all, he knew from the movie that during the Battle of Naboo, Newt Gunley reported directly to Sidious.
And most importantly, Newt Gunley was indeed a key part of Darth Sidious' plan. The password he had could shut down all the 1,000 robots of the sixth power in the Confederation of Independent Star Systems! That was why Sidious left the power of the dark side on him, because under his control, the situation of the battle could be reversed in an instant!
However, as an outsider experimenter, Tang Yu also knew that Newt Gunley's shutdown password involved another key figure, the chief engineer of the Geonosians, Ganzo Dawso!
Most of the robots in the Trade Federation were actually developed and built by the Geonosians, and the system to shut down all the robots in an instant was handed over to the chief engineer of the Geonosians, Ganzo Dawso. He developed a signal overdrive system that could shut down all the robots in the entire Milky Way in a short period of time. In fact, this in itself was not a big problem, but Newt Gunley neglected one point!
From the very beginning, the Geonosians were the most loyal and hardcore supporters of the Confederation of Independent Star Systems! Because of their obvious differences from the other races in the Milky Way Galaxy, whether it was their physical structure or their culture, the Geonosians were closer to the Kiliks than to ordinary humans. Therefore, the status of the Geonosians in the Galactic Republic was very low. Although they had very developed industries and technology, when the major races in the Milky Way Galaxy saw the Geonosians, they reacted as if they were looking at a group of pests.
Therefore, the Geonosians yearned for freedom and equality more than any other race. They yearned to have the status that they deserved in the Milky Way Galaxy. Therefore, in the original plot, even after the Confederation of Independent Star Systems was destroyed, the Geonosians still led the remaining forces of the Confederation to resist the Galactic Empire for seven years, until they were finally completely wiped out by Darth Vader.
Of course, it was impossible for Newt Gunray to pay attention to all of this. The only thing he cared about was handing over the construction of the robots to cheap labor. The Geonosians could greatly reduce the cost and earn more money. That was enough for him. But … Tang Yu would not do that!
As Newt Gunley entered the shutdown password, an alarm on Ganzo Dawso, who was on the planet Geonosians, immediately rang! His expression changed, and he quickly flapped his wings and flew toward his laboratory. In the laboratory, an ear-piercing alarm was ringing. He knew that this was the signal for the shutdown password to be activated! Ganzo Dawso also knew that the main fleet of the entire Confederation of Independent Star Systems was now standing in the Corellia Galaxy and fighting the main fleet of the Republic. The reason for the shutdown password to be activated at this time was very obvious!
"Hmm … It really is that coward Newt Gunley! Mr. Tang Yu is right. This day will come sooner or later. " Ganzo Dawso quickly operated on the computer and then started a program. He slammed hard on the photon keyboard. "Overdrive interference device, activate!"
A huge interference signal was immediately sent out along the signal overdrive device. It mixed with Newt Gunley's shutdown password and immediately blocked part of the shutdown signal! At the same time, the signal of the shutdown failure was immediately fed back to Newt Gunley!
Just as Ganzo Dawso was busy, the door of the laboratory suddenly opened. Grand Duke Bogle of the Geonosians walked in with a group of soldiers. He looked at Ganzo Dawso and said loudly, "What the hell are you doing!"
