Chapter 2599 Road to Promotion
2599: The Road to Promotion

When Tang Xiao returned to Dawn Planet from the unknown star region with the newly joined Temperance and Wheel of Fortune, as well as the two former judges Sarris and Yun, he received a report of the current situation.

The military operation in the East achieved phased results. Although it came at the cost of the destruction of the battleship Destroy, it destroyed the most powerful battleship of the Galactic Empire, the Eye of Palpatine, and pinned their main fleet of the East on the planet Charos IV. Overall, it was a success.

As for the treatment of the Mon Calamari, Tang Xiao also agreed.

After all, he has viewed the plot from a God's perspective, so Tang Xiao has a deeper understanding of the Mon Calamari, a race that is determined to pursue freedom.

To put it bluntly, it is a problem of basic cognition. For a race like the Mon Calamari who yearn for freedom, they only have an employment relationship with government agencies - yes, they pay taxes and the government agencies are responsible for protecting them, and everything else is out of the question and is completely left to the laws of the market.

In the final analysis, no matter how you try to persuade them, they will never appreciate it. Even if you crush them with the iron fist of force, they will only think that your reckless use of force further proves the correctness of their path to freedom.

So, don't reason with them. At this stage, we should squeeze as much value from them as possible. After defeating the Galactic Empire, we can let them defeat themselves.

That’s right, Tang Xiao, who knows the plot, understands very well what the New Republic, which was reorganized by the rebels after defeating the Galactic Empire, is like.

Tang Xiao sat in the office, checking the intelligence that had just been sent in. Lin Nanyi had led the fleet to capture the Bangta planet again, and now he was building a defense line based on the Bangta planet.

As long as the defense line of Bonta is successfully built, the secret route provided by the Mon Calamari to the Galactic Empire will also be under control. As long as Bonta can be stabilized, the planet Lothal with the star gate built will also be as stable as a mountain.

Then, it was about rewarding Lin Nanyi for his contributions in the Eastern Frontier Campaign. To be honest, it was quite difficult to reward Lin Nanyi. The General Staff and the Supreme Command also expressed their confusion to Tang Xiao, because many of the battle plans for the Eastern Frontier Campaign were actually laid by General Grievous, but the most critical steps were all completed by Lin Nanyi.

Linnan's forces occupied the planet Dak, suppressed the Mon Calamari and the Quarren, and most importantly, destroyed the Eye of Palpatine and captured the forward base of the Galactic Empire's 12th Army.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible to turn a blind eye to Lin Nanyiyi's achievements.

However, according to the investigation, he has a close relationship with Jin Hao of Sun Power Energy Company, and his girlfriend Feng Lisi is Jin Hao's adopted daughter. This relationship must also be vigilant. At any time, it is a taboo to let these super companies collude with the military.

Therefore, after discussing with Helmut Zemo, Tang Xiao made a decision to remove Lin Nanyi from all military posts. Then, he appointed Lin Nanyi as the Governor of Mon Cala on the planet Dak, in charge of all Mon Calamari. At the same time, Lin Nanyi temporarily served as the Governor of the East Territory.

In this way, it is equivalent to Lin Nanyi directly controlling half of a super industrial planet, while also temporarily ruling the entire Eastern Territory.

The latter appointment was recommended by Helmut Zemo, because after his observation, he thought that although Lin Nanyi had some shortcomings in fighting, he was still very ruthless and decisive when dealing with some problems on the Mon Calamari and the planet Lothal.

Most importantly, removing Lin Nanyi from his military post is not only a protection for him, but also a warning to Solar Dynamics Energy Company to not reach out too far. At the same time, it will not affect the relationship between Lin Nanyi and Feng Lis. This is a humane decision that kills two birds with one stone. Of course, after this transition period, the position of governor of the entire East Star Region is impossible to be handed over to Lin Nanyi. His qualifications are still far from enough, but at least this experience will be of great benefit to his growth.

Then, the command of the entire Eastern Fleet will be handed over to General Grievous. In other words, General Grievous will be promoted to the fifth admiral of the Kingdom of Dawn after Admirals Matt Horner, Severance Tann, Admiral Trench, and the late Admiral Mal Took.

Ling Liang was not in the navy, she was an army admiral and concurrently the governor of the Seswenna star region. Therefore, she could only command the direct fleet of the Seswenna star region as the governor, and could not command more fleets across star regions.

Incidentally, another person was recently promoted to Army General.

Bentiras San-Skarr, the commander of the Kali people and the killer. As the highest military commander of the Kali people, he fought bravely and once killed the Jedi Master Sus-Tine of the Jedi Council, making outstanding contributions. His political status and military achievements made him the only two generals of the army in the Kingdom of Dawn.

After confirming the above appointments, Tang Xiao went to the medical center to check on General Grievous' condition.

The co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association (M), Thorn Hill, also came here in person. After all, he was the one who personally presided over the plan to transform Grievous. He also brought the core engineers of the transformation plan at that time to jointly save General Grievous' life.

Tang Xiao looked at General Grievous who was soaked in the bacta tank. His mechanical shell had been completely stripped off, leaving only a small half of his body still soaked inside, with countless tubes and wires maintaining his life.

Only Grievous' chest cavity, lungs, heart and brain were relatively intact. All the useless rotten flesh had been removed, and the only remaining organs in his body could be seen directly here.

Now even with the naked eye, one can see that there are a large number of scars on these organs, the heartbeat is extremely irregular, the breathing has almost stopped, and the activity of the cerebral cortex has dropped to a dangerous level.

Seeing Tang Xiao coming, Sang-Hill hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, we have thoroughly checked Grievous' physical condition. To be frank, the situation is very dangerous and he may die at any time."

"If he dies, I will resurrect him. But in this way, his value will be reduced a lot." Tang Xiao said lightly, looking at Grievous in the bacta jar.

"When he was sent here, his mechanical body had basically stopped functioning," said Thorn Hill. "In fact, he relied entirely on his willpower to persevere despite the failure of his mechanical body. At that time, he might even have controlled his heartbeat by force."

When Sang-Hill first said this, he was still afraid, because everyone with such a strong will is often extremely terrifying.

"Then, let's repair his mechanical body and put it in, is that okay?" Tang Xiao asked.

Thorn-Hill shook his head and said, "No. He can't leave the bacta tank now. The bacta fluid in it must be constantly replaced to maintain his life. In this state, he is basically in a sleeping state. His problem is actually no longer on the physical level."

He went on to say: "Physically speaking, he is already dead. The only thing that is still alive is his soul..."
