Chapter 2586 Confused Gideon Tarkin
2586: Confused Gideon Tarkin
Meanwhile, on the planet Charos IV.

This is one of the important industrial worlds of the Galactic Empire's Twelfth Army. During the Clone Wars, it once joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems to fight against the Galactic Republic.

However, after the Galactic Republic launched a counterattack, the planet Charos IV in the central ring quickly surrendered. As for this important industrial planet, the Galactic Republic and later the Galactic Empire were not polite at all, directly carrying out military occupation, replacing officials at all levels of the planet, and setting up a planetary governor.

After several years of development, Charos IV has completely surrendered to the Galactic Empire and is serving the Empire's military expansion plans with its powerful industrial capacity.

Imperial Navy Admiral Gideon Tarkin was pacing in the command center in great anxiety. He walked back and forth as if he couldn't stop for even a second.

"Has there been any message sent back from the planet Dak? What about Garrosh's response?" This was the nineteenth time Gideon Tarkin asked within twenty minutes.

"No, General. None at all." The signalman shook his head blankly.

Gideon Tarkin's chest heaved violently, and he asked again: "Where is the Eye of Palpatine?" This was the seventeenth time he asked this in these twenty minutes.

"At present..." The signalman didn't finish his words when he suddenly received a message. He quickly looked up and said, "General! We received news from the planet Targon!"

"Speak!" Gideon Tarkin rushed over and lay on the screen to check it himself.

The extremely complex code displayed on the screen was being quickly compiled into plain text, which read: [We have arrived at the planet Targon, but the Eye of Palpatine is not here.]

This was a message sent back by an Arquitens-class light cruiser sent to the planet Targon. According to Gideon Tarkin's order, the light cruiser was loaded with a large amount of core elements, concentrated blasting gas, super-matter fuel and other supplies.

At the same time, there is a code and navigation coordinates inside the cruiser, which marked the logistics supply point of the Galactic Empire in the East, as well as the coordinates of several planets controlled by the Kingdom of Dawn.

Those coordinates were marked with terms such as extremely dangerous and posing a deadly threat to the Galactic Empire.

The engineering team of the Eye of Palpatine said that according to the underlying logic of "Will", targets that pose a threat to the Galactic Empire also need to be prioritized. In this way, it may be possible to change its target and guide it to the marked planet.

For example, the planet Losar!

However, according to the message sent back, the Eye of Palpatine is not on the planet Targon.

"What? The Eye of Palpatine ran away?" Gideon Tarkin frowned. "Didn't they say that its core element was exhausted? Could it be that it was traveling at warp speed?"

"Not yet, General," said the signalman.

"Contact all the surrounding hyperspace outposts immediately! The hyperspace fluctuations of Palpatine's Eye are very violent and should be easy to detect!" Gideon Tarkin said loudly.

"Yes!" The signalman quickly passed on the order, and the communication department immediately got busy, contacting the hyperspace outpost. While everyone was busy here, another signalman turned around and shouted: "General! There is news from the Dralt Planet Base!!"

"Dralt?" Gideon Tarkin immediately realized that this was a planet not far from Dak. "Go!"

He quickly walked to the signalman's screen and checked the message.

However, when he saw this, Gideon Tarkin's face turned pale instantly!
[A military coup broke out on the planet Dak. General Jarl Akbar, the supreme military commander of the Mon Calamari, launched a mutiny and arrested the radical leader of the Mon Calamari, Mina Tils, and more than 30 senior officials. Now, Jarl Akbar accepted all the conditions of the Kingdom of Dawn on behalf of the Mon Calamari and extradited Mina Tils to the Kingdom of Dawn for disposal.]

"No! No! No! No! No! No!!!" Gideon Tarkin grabbed his hair and repeated it over and over again. He wanted to do something to vent the pent-up emotions in his heart, but he didn't know what to do. He just danced and shouted like a madman.

"Why is this happening! Why is this happening!!! Mina Tils shouldn't be arrested so easily!!" Gideon Tarkin roared, "Where is Garrosh? What is Garrosh doing?!?!?!"

"General, I made a special inquiry. The people at the Drart base said that they don't know any information about General Garrosh, and they don't even know that he has been to the planet Dark." said the signalman.

"Then just ask the intelligence officer on the planet Dark!" Gideon Tarkin said loudly.

The signalman shook his head and said, "There is still no response from Planet Dak. The Dralt Base said that the communication from Planet Dak may have been blocked, and they have no way to get detailed intelligence."

"Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!!!" Gideon Tarkin was extremely annoyed and pounded the table hard. "Contact the nearest base immediately and send a reconnaissance plane to Dark Planet for me no matter what! I want to know what happened on Dark Planet!!"

The signalman nodded and said, "We have notified the Dralt and Murkana planet bases. They will both send reconnaissance planes to take off."

Gideon Tarkin could not wait for a reply, and he began to pace anxiously again, stopping from time to time to roar and pound the table. His face turned red because of anger and anxiety.

The incident on the planet Dak not only affects his overall strategy, but also his nephew Garrosh Tarkin! This is also the most promising younger generation of their Tarkin family!

He and his brother Wilhuff Tarkin had been planning for so long to bring a main fleet and the Eye of Palpatine to the 12th Army of the East. Wasn't it just to find a future for his Tarkin family? He hoped that the Tarkin family could become a real noble family like the Tag family and the Kuat family, with not only political power but also actual control.

Now, the plan has not yet succeeded, and his most valued junior has run into problems. How could Gideon Tarkin not be angry?

However, the first response came from the Eye of Palpatine.

The signalman quickly came over and said, "General! The hyperspace outpost detected a strong hyperspace fluctuation. It should be the Eye of Palpatine."

"What is it doing now?" Gideon Tarkin could only suppress his worry about Garrosh at this moment.

"Not sure. It has already arrived at Kubindi." The signalman looked at the message in his hand and hesitated. "Well, it seems that Kubindi is just a very backward primitive planet..."
