Chapter 2005 Galaxy Secret
? 2005, Galaxy Secrets
"Hehe, Your Excellency Tang Yu, although my family has some assets, they are not enough to support the operation of a country." Earl Dooku smiled and said, "However, I have also heard about the recent treatment of Guardian Planet in the Republic... …That poor assassination was obviously a frame-up, but the politicians of the Republic don’t seem to intend to let it go. The investigation report you provided is enough to prove your innocence, but they still hold on to it..."
"Maybe they just want to find the real murderer who is still hiding behind the scenes." Tang Yu didn't accept the move, but turned around and said.
"Your Excellency Tang Yu, you are still so not frank, but I understand that during this period of time, you will naturally feel that I am a heinous villain, and the Republic is justice. But the question arises, why do you claim to be righteous? On the other side, they want to persecute an innocent planet? The answer is profit." Earl Dooku said slowly.
"I don't think our planet, which is just about to join the Republic, has any benefits."
"Those planets in the inner circle and the parliamentarians are only concerned about another place where goods are dumped, another place where raw materials are produced, and another taxation area. As for how far you will develop, no one cares. In this regard, the actual They do this to many planets in the middle and outer ring systems. Maybe you don't know about Laxus, well, it's not the dump, but the fourth planet in the Laxus system..."
"What happened there?"
"After the Battle of Naboo, Speaker Palpatine announced that he would rebuild the fleet of the Galactic Republic, but he found that he had no money. Isn't it ironic? Such a huge republic would have no money. In fact, in Coruscant, countless People are very rich. They rely on opening mines on the outer ring planets, selling slaves, and even smuggling to make money. But none of this wealth can enter the treasury of the Republic, because the more wealthy people are, the more There are many ways to evade taxes..." Earl Dooku continued.
Tang Yu smiled and added: "So, all taxes in the Republic are collected from the poor?"
"This is the reason why Planet 4 of Laxus rebelled against the Republic. The Republic did not help their development and could not guarantee their safety, but gradually increased the annual tax rate to 30%... The reason? It was because the Republic did not Money. They don't have the guts to tax those who are really rich, because they can't afford to mess with those people, so they choose to repeatedly squeeze the so-called backward planets in the middle and outer ring galaxies that they think they can afford. said Count Dooku.
"I remember that the Jedi Knights have the right to monitor, right? Why do you still indulge these people in perverse ways?" Tang Yu asked very specifically, and in fact he was also guiding the content of the conversation.
Now that you have made a decision, do your best. This is also the decision they came to after discussion. Since they are unable to resist Palpatine's layout, then follow the trend, follow his arrangement, join Earl Dooku's flag, and look for new opportunities.
Count Dooku, like Palpatine, never imagined that in front of him was a group of people who knew the plot. He only thought that Tang Yu still had fantasies about the Jedi Order, so he sighed deeply and said, "You know what? , 20 years ago in Galidran, there was a war..."
The Battle of Galidran? A war that is generally considered to be a sign that the Jedi Order is going the wrong way. Tang Yu immediately got this information in his mind, but he didn't speak, but made a gesture of listening attentively.
"Actually, this war has nothing to do with the Jedi Order, or even with the Republic, because it was originally just a civil war among the Mandalorians. However, the Jedi Order decided to intervene in this war because they were afraid of the Mandalorians. The Dalo people are afraid that this nation with super fighting power will become a threat to them..." Dooku said.
"And then?" Tang Yu asked.
"A massacre..." Dooku stood up suddenly, walked out of the window, looked at the beautiful scenery, and said slowly: "The Republic will not allow a planet or race that may threaten their status to stand up, so they The planet Mandalorian supported the Duchess Satine-Kritz to the throne of the ruler. And Satine is the favorite character of the Republic, a pacifist. However, in order to support this 'pacifist', you know that the Jedi Knights How many Mandalorians did the regiment slaughter at the Battle of Galidran?"
Tang Yu didn't speak, because although he already knew about this battle from the plot, and also knew that Earl Dooku was also the leader of the Jedi Order in this battle, he was still infected by the sadness in Dooku's words .
"So, when I saw the Scarlet Knights under your command, I seemed to see the figure of the Mandalorian super commando from them, and I was filled with emotion..." Earl Dooku paused for a long time after finishing speaking. , then whispered: "The Republic will not allow you to have such an elite marine force in your hands. Attracting you to join the Republic with favorable conditions is only the first step, and then they will slowly put various shackles on you , Until you can never break free. But I don’t know if it’s your luck or misfortune, you haven’t even been able to cross the first step.”
Tang Yu still didn't speak, just quietly looked at Earl Dooku's back.
"Do you know what kind of purpose we pursue under my leadership, which is called a separatist movement by the Republic?" Dooku asked suddenly.
Tang Yu shook his head.
"We want freedom, justice, and fairness! We want to rely on our own labor to obtain equivalent things, instead of being endlessly demanded by the Republic! Every planet hopes to get help when it joins the Republic, Develop together, but the result they get is only plunder! We are burdened with heavy taxes, but when space pirates are rampant, the fleet of the Republic is gone! However, when we are unable to pay taxes, the fleet of the Republic is on schedule. To!!" Count Dooku turned around abruptly, exuding an extremely strong aura from him.
"So, do you really think that I, a former Jedi master, a titular Earl of Serenno, has the ability to persuade thousands of galaxies to become independent? No! The one who really persuaded them to become independent is the Galactic Republic itself!!"
