Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

98. Mastering 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 it. In front of you, let you make a choice.” Tang Xiao stood up, walked behind Francis’ sofa, and pressed the back of the sofa, “Francis Underwood, what you want is power, the pleasure of standing at the top of the food chain, so, I’ll give you these.”

“I have to remind you, Mr. Administrator. Right now we’re just a colony of over 10,000 people with a mothership. And as far as I know, even our historical The first empire has a population of at least one million, so are you sure you’re not kidding?”

“Then I would like to ask, why did you accept the awakening?”

“I’ve said it before, I saw a bigger stage, which also allowed me to get more stages. Maybe what I said would be more straightforward, but this stage doesn’t have to be here. Galactic Republic, what a majestic building, even though this building is full of termites and moths under its gorgeous exterior, but that’s where we come in, isn’t it?”

“For example, Hego Damask II ?”

“He’s a man of great power, and the gain or loss of a planet won’t even make him blink. He’s also your Master, right? He’s a dangerous person, but I also agree with your judgment, he will also bring endless opportunities. But to take him as a teacher…” Francis shakes ones head, “You are equivalent to shackles yourself in a cage that you have no ability to break free. “

“putting it that way, you don’t think highly of me. Francis.”

“You’re too young Administrator, young equals lack of experience, lack of experience. 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?”

“Imperial Prime Minister, this is a position and power that you can’t get anywhere in this galaxy. The whole galaxy, only I can give it You.”

“We are having a serious conversation, Administrator, I don’t think now is the time to talk about this joke.” Francis smiled slightly, “After all, anyone can give I have one such promise, even a beggar on a flyover, right? “

For the sake of saying this, even if the Force is not used, Tang Xiao can already be sure that Francis is beginning to feel a little angry.

Tang Xiao stood up and walked to the window, looked at the vast galaxy, slowly said: “This is no joke, Francis. Because the future of the entire galaxy is in 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, Administrator . “Francis Underwood frowned, he also noticed that Tang Xiao The words mean more than they say, doesn’t seem to be simple.

Tang Xiao turned to look at Francis, “I can see the future of this galaxy.” All the things, I have already encountered. Now we have complete technology, 650,000 hibernating elites, and 5 billion frozen embryos. These are my roots. In this known future, we can create our own roots of Heaven and Earth. ”

“The future of galaxy? “

Tang Xiao started directly: “After 3 years, to be precise, after 2 years and 8 months, Planet Naboo will have a war. The Trade Federation will brazenly send troops to surround Planet Naboo and cut off all external ties under the pretext of tax disputes. The Galactic Senate’s inability to resolve the dispute culminated in the ouster of current Chancellor Finis Valorum and the replacement of Senator Sheev Palpatine as the new Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. “

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

“Then under the leadership of Palpatine, the Galactic Republic went step by step to war. And 10 years after the Battle of Naboo, the galaxy divided into two, and a civil war of unprecedented scale broke out. “Tang Xiao slowly said, “This is our chance. “

He walked over again, looking down at Francis sitting on the sofa, gaze as if a torch, “I will assure you that Fourth Civilization’s economic, industrial and military strength will change step by step. Strong enough to fight this war, that’s my job. And you, my Prime Minister, I need you to go to Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, and earn our rightful place. Only when we work together, Fourth Civilization, will there be a chance for Nirvana to become… the 4th Empire on the ruins of the Galactic Republic! “

“I remember that I did not grant your request, Mr. Administrator.” “Francis Underwood said with a faint smile.

“No, you will.” Because I have seen your thoughts, my Prime Minister. A faint red flashed in Tang Xiao’s eyes, “I wonder if you are satisfied with me in this interview? “

“Can you see that I’m testing you?” “Francis looked at Tang Xiao with interest.

“This galaxy is not the same as before, but it also gave me a chance to go further, Francis. Be my right-hand man, then be the Imperial Prime Minister! Tang Xiao extended the hand and said.

Francis stood up and reached out to hold Tang Xiao’s hand, “I agree to your request, Mr. Administrator. But that doesn’t mean I’d agree with the statement about that… ‘Imperial Prime Minister’, because I don’t see any realization of the probability yet, and personally, my opinion on this fake pie is Really annoying. “

Then he turned 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 rise step by step under your leadership. “

Tang Xiao noddéd, came to Francis, sat down, 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 Fourth Civilization the each step action. But you have to understand that I only say these words once, only the two of us know, and it will not be in any written document. “

Francis noddéd,” you say. “

“It’s Galactic Republic Anno 25018, but I’ll mark the year in another way, it’s 35 BBY this year, and it’s September. The Galactic Republic is governed by the Galactic Senate, the supreme leader is Chancellor, Chancellor will be subject to many restrictions, this is a very typical Democratic System. At the same time, there is another group of Guardians in the Galactic Republic – the Jedi Order. They have a transcendent position. Although they do not have any political positions, they can intervene in every evil thing they think, and because of their status, officials at all levels must facilitate their actions. “

“And then on top of that, Galactic Republic current Chancellor Finis Valorum will soon lose control of the situation. Under a series of conspiracies, after 32 BBY, that is, more than 2 years later, Trade Federation will block Planet Naboo under the pretext of taxation, which is actually putting pressure on the Republic, which leads to the outbreak of Battle of Naboo…” Tang Xiao Tell him what he knows about the current episode little by little.
