The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 100 Mastering the Future
98. Master the future

"Because this is my true opinion. I won't try to convince you, because I don't think I can do it. But I can put the interests in front of you and let you make a choice." Tang Xiaozhan Get up, walk behind Francis' sofa, hold down the back of the sofa, "Frances Underwood, what you want is power, the thrill of being at the top of the food chain, so I'll give you that. "

"I have to remind you, Mr. Manager. Right now we are just a colony of over 10000 people with a mothership. As far as I know, even the first empire in our history has at least a million people. , so, are you sure you're not joking?"

"So in that case, I would like to ask, why did you accept the awakening?"

"As I said, I saw a bigger stage, which also allowed me to get more stages. Maybe I will be more straightforward, but this stage is not necessarily here. Galactic Republic, how magnificent Even if the building is full of termites and moths under its gorgeous exterior, that's where we come in, isn't it?"

"For example, Krogo-Damask II?"

"He is a man of great power, and the gain or loss of a planet won't even make him blink. At the same time, he is also your master, right? He is a dangerous person, but I also agree with your judgment, he It will also bring endless opportunities. But to take him as a teacher..." Francis shook his head, "You are equivalent to shackles yourself in a cage that you have no ability to break free."

"So you don't like me. Francis."

"You are too young as a manager. Young is equal to lack of experience and experience. You can't fight against those who have been immersed in politics for a lifetime. I am very optimistic about your future, but maybe this future is difficult to see at my age."

"That's why I need your help."

"But can you really give me what I want?"

"Prime Minister of the Empire, this is a position and power you can't get anywhere in this galaxy. In the whole galaxy, only I can give you."

"We're having a serious conversation, manager, and I don't think this is the time to talk about this joke." Francis smiled slightly, "After all, anyone could give me such a promise, even a beggar on a flyover. ,right?"

Speaking of which, even if he didn't use the Force, Tang Xiao could already be sure that Francis was beginning to feel a little anger in his heart.

Tang Xiao stood up, walked to the window, looked at the vast galaxy, and said slowly, "This is no joke, Francis. Because the future of the entire galaxy is under my control."

He raised a hand and stretched out to the little stars outside the window, as if he wanted to grasp the infinite stars in his hand.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, manager." Francis Underwood frowned, he also noticed that there was something in Tang Xiao's words, and it didn't seem simple.

Tang Xiao turned to look at Francis, "I can see the future of this galaxy. I have already met everything. Now we have complete technology, 65 hibernating elites, and 50 billion frozen embryos. These are my roots, the roots of which we can create our own world in this known future."

"The future of the galaxy?"

Tang Xiao directly began to say: "Three years later, to be precise, two years and eight months later, a war will break out on Naboo Planet. The trade alliance will use the excuse of a tax dispute to brazenly send troops to surround Naboo Planet and cut off all external contacts. The Galactic Republic's inability to resolve the dispute resulted in the resignation of the current Speaker, Finnis Valorum, and Senator Schiff Palpatine as the new Speaker of the Republic."

Francis just looked at Tang Xiao and didn't speak.

"Then, under the leadership of Palpatine, the Galactic Republic went to war step by step. Ten years after the Battle of Naboo, the galaxy was divided into two, and a civil war of unprecedented scale broke out." Tang Xiao said slowly, "This is our chance."

He walked over again and looked down at Francis who was sitting on the sofa, his eyes burning, "I will assure you that the fourth civilization's economic, industrial and military strength will become stronger step by step, until it is strong enough to participate in this war. Well, it's my job. And you, my Prime Minister, I need you to go to Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, and get our rightful place. Only if we cooperate with each other, will the Fourth Civilization have a chance in the galaxy On the ruins of the Republic, Nirvana becomes... the Fourth Empire!"

"I remember that I didn't agree to your request, Mr. Manager." Francis Underwood said with a smile.

"No, you will agree. Because I have already seen your thoughts, my Prime Minister." Tang Xiao's eyes flashed an imperceptible red, "I don't know if you are satisfied with me in this interview?"

"Can you see that I'm testing you?" Francis looked at Tang Xiao with great interest.

"This galaxy is not the same as before, but it also gave me the opportunity to go further, Francis. Become my right-hand man, and then become the Prime Minister of the Empire!" Tang Xiao stretched out his hand and said.

Francis stood up and reached out to hold Tang Xiao's hand, "I agree to your request, Mr. Manager. But that doesn't mean I will agree with the statement about that... 'Empire Prime Minister', because I still I can't see any possibility of realization, and personally, I really hate this kind of fake pie."

Then he turned his head and said, "But I've decided to do my duty, and that's why I'm on the mothership—I'll help you, for now. And I also hope that our Fourth Civilization can be on your side. Lead the next step to rise.”

Tang Xiao nodded, sat down in front of Francis, and said word by word: "What I want to say next is related to your future course of action, and your actions are related to every step of the Fourth Civilization. Action. But you have to understand that I only say these words once, only the two of us know, and there will be no written document."

Francis nodded, "Go ahead."

"It is now the Galactic Republic era 25018, but I will use another way to mark the year, this year is 35BBY, and it is September. The Galactic Republic is ruled by the Galactic Council, the supreme leader is the Speaker, and the Speaker will be subject to many restrictions, This is a very typical democratic system.At the same time, there is another group of guardians of the Galactic Republic - the Jedi Order, they are aloof, although they do not have any political office, but they can intervene in every evil thing they think, and Because of their status, officials at all levels must facilitate their actions."

"Then most importantly, the current Speaker of the Galactic Republic, Finis Valorum, will soon lose control of the situation. Under a series of conspiracies, in 32BBY, which is more than 2 years later, the Trade Federation will use the pretext of taxation. The problem of blocking the planet Naboo is actually putting pressure on the Republic, which led to the outbreak of the Battle of Naboo..." Tang Xiao explained the plot of the current period of time he knew bit by bit.
