The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 8 I Need Help!
8. I need help!
"We, Corellia, merchants. We look for furs, rare metals. Please, let us go home." A cylindrical robot was translating word by word.

Beside the robot, the three militants who had been captured before were lying on the table and groaning feebly, banging out a word from time to time.

Tang Xiao sat across the table in the interrogation room, watching the performance of the three people with Erlang's legs crossed. T-850 stood behind him expressionlessly, keeping his feet flush with his shoulders, and a standard soldier standing with his hands behind him. posture.

One Earth Standard Day has passed, and within these 24 hours, under the demands of the mastermind and the beatings of the marines, the three militants were forced to say countless words for analysis.Maybe they came out of their mother's womb to the present, and they even counted the crying when they were babies, and they didn't say much on this day.

Now the analysis of this language called Galactic Standard Language has exceeded 40%, and a certain level of dialogue can be conducted.But the parsing of the letters, words, and grammars that follow will take a while.

The three militants didn't know that their miserable future was ahead, and they were still trying their best to pretend to be miserable, hoping that Tang Xiao, who looked amiable and young, could open up and let them go.

Tang Xiao turned a blind eye to their performance, turned to the translation robot and said, "Where is the capital of the Galactic Empire?"

The three were a little at a loss when they heard the translation, and one of them corrected: "The Galactic Republic, not the Empire. Coruscant, the capital."

"So who is the leader of the Jedi Order?" Tang Xiao asked again.

The three continued to look stunned, shaking their heads to show they didn't know.

That's right, the Jedi Knights in the Republic period were aloof but kept a low profile, silently guarding the Galactic Republic.The existence of the Jedi Knights is mostly just a legend in the eyes of ordinary people in the galaxy.

Tang Xiao thought about it and changed the question, "Who is the speaker of the Galaxy Council?"

They thought about this question for a while, and one of them answered: "Finis Valorum."

Tang Xiao's expression changed, and he asked the last question, "Has there ever been a war on the planet Naboo?"

The three shook their heads.

Tang Xiao stood up without saying a word, left the interrogation room and walked towards the bridge.

[The manager has left, let's continue.Please use the most accurate words to describe the appearance of this cat. 】 The voice of the mastermind followed, and a few marines with round waists and thick shoulders walked in and watched the militants snort coldly.

Soon there was a miserable cry from the interrogation room.

Back on the bridge, Tang Xiao sat on the main seat, leaning on the back and staring at the ceiling of the command center in a trance.Now he has narrowed down the current Star Wars era to less than 20 years, but the result is by no means happy.

Tang Xiao is undoubtedly a "Star Wars" fan, and of course he has a full understanding of it before he travels. In the "Star Wars" plot he knows, during the more than ten years of Speaker Finnis Valoren's tenure in office, It was also the most chaotic decade of the Galactic Republic.

Because in the past 20 years, the Milky Way will usher in an unprecedented war and turmoil, and almost every corner of the Milky Way will be involved in the flames of war.In this war, the Galactic Republic with a history of more than 25000 years ushered in its final destruction.Just like the Eternal Empire, Infinite Empire, Sith Empire, and even the Kiliks who appeared in this galaxy and flourished for a while, they disappeared in the long river of history.

Tang Xiao began to organize the "Star Wars" plot in his memory. Now the speaker of the Republic's parliament is Phoenix Valorum, and the war on the planet Naboo has not yet broken out. This is an important node.

As the Battle for Naboo eventually resulted in the resignation of former Speaker Finnis Valorum, Schiff Palpatine became the new Speaker of the Republic.And then... under his conspiracy, 10 years after the Battle of Naboo, the Galactic Republic was completely divided and at war.

The exploited outer ring planet of the Milky Way announced the establishment of the Confederation of Independent Systems and confronted the Galactic Republic. The two sides fought a three-year all-out war. Because the Galactic Republic used a lot of clone soldiers, it was called the 'Clone Wars'.

Schiff Palpatine, possibly the biggest conspirator the Star Wars universe has ever seen, orchestrated it all, using the war to eventually subvert the Galactic Republic, wipe out the Jedi Order, and bring the resistance of the Outer Rim to one place. Sweep away.

Then, he ascended the throne on the ruins of the Galactic Republic, and changed the Galactic Republic to the Galactic Empire {note 1}.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiao sighed, only feeling his head swell.

This is a dark age... Palpatine can be regarded as one of the best conspirators and careerists in the history of "Star Wars"... Whether it is politics or conspiracy, whether it is personal strength or power, the other party far exceeds himself... How does this make me live? !

"Submit to him? Join the Galactic Empire and become a pawn of His Majesty the Emperor?" This thought flashed through Tang Xiao's mind, but then his eyes turned cold, "Impossible! These things... are mine!!"

Tang Xiao looked at the busy people on the bridge command center, and said to himself: "If it's the Republic period...because there is still a parliament, before our strength develops, we also need someone to go to the parliament to send us a message. may be able to get more help...that's right...I need a politician..."

He understands that in the Star Wars universe, at least for now, the Galactic Council has the final say.What does this show?With proper operation, a politician's lips may be compared to a fleet!
The Galactic Republic in "Star Wars" is such a white-left to the extreme democracy.Under such circumstances, even if their own strength is insufficient, a good politician can also win more interests for them.

The Dawn Planet has only one planet. Even if the technology in the database is fully realized in an instant, there is absolutely no background to meet the future war.So...more allies, better political environment.

Tang Xiao looked up at the backs of Clement and Qi Jian, and shook his head slightly.

They can't.

Clement's major is not in this at all, don't expect her to get involved in politics.As a staff officer, Qi Jian was only an ordinary person, and his ability is still relatively limited.

He also found that most people in the ordinary class are relatively young, the people in the elite class are a little older, and there are many 5 or 60 year olds in the master class.

This shows that this level division is only based on the person's current achievements. As long as there is enough time and experience, ordinary people can also become master-level figures.

But the cultivation of talents is one aspect. If you want to compete with Palpatine, no, you can't say that. Now he doesn't even have the qualifications to stand on the stage.At least get on the big stage of the Milky Way first, and then talk about who to contend against.

A master politician is needed!In this way, on the one hand, we can continue to expand our strength at home, and on the other hand, we can strive for more interests in the political arena of the republic.

Tang Xiao took a deep breath and started flipping through the list of people who could be awakened.Suddenly, he noticed that the list seemed to have changed!There used to be three levels of ordinary, elite, and master, and there were three question marks behind.

And now one of the question marks has been displayed, it is legendary!
Legendary characters!

"Mastermind! When did you unlock the legendary character?" Tang Xiao asked in surprise.

[After your awakening, manager.If you don't have great abilities, legendary characters and higher will not be loyal to you.Forcibly awakening them may cause chaos instead. At this level, everyone has this ability, or even worse. 】
