Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 198: Changes On Planet Naboo (1)

However, King Ars Veruna spoke enthusiastically on the stage, but the reaction below was a little dull.

Most of the people in the capital just applauded routinely, and most of the officials also looked worried.

In fact, King Als Veruna's life is not easy now.

He came to power relying on the agreement signed with the Trade Federation to export plasma mines. Among his promises, this agreement will bring innumerable financial revenues to the planet Naboo, which will greatly support the planet's infrastructure and people's livelihood. construction to make people's lives better.

But no one knew that what he signed with the trade alliance was actually an unequal treaty that humiliated the country! In this treaty, the trade alliance can plunder the plasma mines of the planet Naboo, and the planet Naboo has to pay the company for the mining group of the trade alliance and control the consumption, so the environmental damage caused by this is ignored.

However, in the end, the Trade Federation still bought the plasma mines on Naboo at half the market price and then sold them at a high price to make huge profits.

This led to increasingly intensified conflicts between the humans on Naboo and the Gungans living in the water and even reached the verge of war.

Of course, it cannot be said that this unequal treaty did not make any money, at least King Als Veruna and his cabinet made a lot of money.

As for what infrastructure? Livelihood projects? He had forgotten all about it.

The result of this is that the approval rate of King Veruna has been declining all the way, and it has reached a very dangerous situation. He can no longer guarantee that he can win re-election in the next election.

In order to reverse the decline, King Veruna must do something practical. He decided to pursue a two-pronged approachthe N-1 starfighter project and re-signing the trade agreement.

For the N-1 starfighter project, he spent huge sums of money to cooperate with the Nubia Starcraft Engineering Company, establish a joint venture companySid Palace Spaceship Company, and then develop the strongest fighter that can defeat all fighters in the galaxy!

Of course, the Nubia Interstellar Engineering Company, which is known for building high-quality spaceships, has lived up to Veruna's hopes. This fighter is indeed the strongest fighter in the galaxy at present! But... the cost of a single frame is as high as 200,000 credits, which can be said to be a luxury. Comparing the 80,000 credits of the Z-95 Headhunter fighter jet with the original price of 100,000 credits, the actual cost is estimated to be lower than the Z-95's Wraith fighter jet.

But the N-1 starfighter is indeed good enough. It has excellent maneuverability, an automatic operating system, top firepower and steering performance, and a short-distance acceleration of 3800G! This value has surpassed the Delta-6 fighter jet commonly used by Jedi Knights now!

In other words, excluding other factors of the Force, the N-1 starfighter has reached the level of a Jedi per capita in terms of fighter performance alone!

With the backing of the N-1 starfighter, King Ars Veruna's next move is to break free from the constraints of the Trade Federation. He wants to rely on the deterrence of the N-1 starfighter to force the trade alliance to re-sign a trade agreement with him or to cancel the existing trade agreement.

In this way, there will be no doubt that the planet Naboo will tear itself apart from the Trade Federation, and it will also completely offend the person who is behind this matter - Hego Damask II.

Because for Hego, the trade agreement on the planet, Naboo is an important means for him to buy Newt Gunley, the star director of the Trade Federation, and it is also a key part of helping Newt Gunray embark on the road of the Governor of the Trade Federation.

Once he achieves this goal, the trade alliance and the Interstellar Banking Association will be realized in his hands, and the wealth and resources he can control will reach a terrifying level, which cannot even be calculated by numbers!

And Ars Veruna knew this, so he went looking for foreign aid. Pushed by an invisible hand, Black Sun and the Hutt Gardulla were put out, and he hit it off with Black Sun, and Gardulla to represent the plasma mine on the planet Naboo so that he would get ten times more return than now!

And in order to completely deter the trade alliance, he also agreed with Black Sun on an extremely dangerous plan to assassinate Hego Damask II!!

This is what He Ge has never found, the key point of this assassination plan - the plasma mine on planet Naboo!

But now that he knew it, it was too late. The assassination plan failed, and the other black hand behind the scenes had already gotten away without leaving any trace.

There are only a few poor worms left who have to bear this monstrous anger...

But now Ars Veruna doesn't know that this seemingly seamless assassination has failed. He is now at the pinnacle of his life and full of ambition.

As the parade of N-1 starfighters soared into the sky and flew in formation in the sky, Ars Veruna's emotions also reached their peak!

He turned his head and said to the smiling and applauding people next to him: "I can meet you, today is the day I reverse the situation! The N-1 starfighter made its first flight successfully, and then as long as the trade agreement is re-signed, the Naberly family The little girl will never try to touch the throne of Planet Naboo in this life!"

The person beside him sighed, "King Veruna, I suggest you proceed with caution. The Trade Alliance will not sit idly by. They have made a lot of profits from the plasma mine transaction. It is absolutely impossible for them to simply give up."

"Don't worry about that, I have other arrangements, and now even the Hutts support me! In addition, within the planet's gravitational circle, there is no spaceship that can compete with the N-1 starfighter of our Naboo Royal Air Force!" Re-signing the agreement is just around the corner, hahahaha!"

"But now... the wind direction in the Galactic Council is not very good. After the dispute on the Marathal planet, the position of the chairman of Phoenix-Valorum is in jeopardy, and he must do something to come out." The person next to him said.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course there is...Because of the incident on the Marathal planet, Deputy Councillor Botan is already on the verge of stepping down. Once Botan steps down, those planets that support Botan will no longer stand on the side of Valorum. Parliament will be completely alone. To avoid that, he is banking on a deal to tax the Outer Rim."

"Valorum is an idiot!" Ars Veruna smiled contemptuously, "So the Enterprise Alliance slapped him, and then told him who is in charge of the outer ring star region."

"The situation is more complicated..." the man said, raising his head.

High hairline, aquiline nose, sharp eyes - it's Senator Sheev Palpatine!
