Master Dooku nodded slightly and said, "I'm very glad to see someone as energetic as you in such a decaying Galactic Republic, very good."
"Master Dooku cares about the people, he is a role model for my generation." Claire complimented.
"Are you from the Planet Endor?" Master Dooku suddenly turned around and asked.
"Planet Endor has now been renamed Planet Dawn, and we just completed the registration three days ago," Claire replied.
"The Fourth Group, a refugee from an unknown human planet, um." Master Dooku was still serious, "I like your speech very much, and I also like Planet Dawn. I will pay attention to you."
After speaking, he turned around and left directly.
Only Claire Underwood was left standing there with a glass of wine, looking at his back in thought.
Outside of the luxurious hotel, many reporters also gathered here, taking pictures of the interior of the hotel from all angles. The journalists with a keen sense of smell smelled the explosion almost immediately.
After the banquet was over, all the reporters outside the door rushed out like sharks smelling fishy.
Most of the Senators and officials left directly under the escort of bodyguards, and only a small number of people remained in place for interviews. A Senator from Planet Rodia Onaconda Farr, is one of them. He keeps appealing to reporters, hoping to convey the famine on Planet Rodia through the voice of media and public opinion.
Claire Underwood also stayed for an interview, and she seemed to be enjoying it.
"Hello, Ms. Claire, I am a reporter from the Galaxy Times. What is the purpose of the mutual aid fund for the planets in the outer ring of the Galaxy you proposed?"
"Planet Dawn where I am is a new colony established by war refugees. I can deeply understand the pain caused by backwardness and poverty. I hope that such pain will become less and less in the Galaxy."
"Ms. Claire, Ms. Claire! This is the Nebula Radio Station. Your actions have obviously affected the interests of the Trade Federation. Recently, their plan to impose a transportation surcharge on Planet Rodia has completely failed. May I ask you this? Has the Trade Federation declared war?"
"I have no intention of declaring war on anyone. My original intention is purely for peace. I only hope that fewer and fewer people will suffer from hunger and poverty. If the Trade Federation remains as they claim, it will bring happiness to the Galaxy If it is convenient and convenient, I believe they will understand this approach."
"Ms. Claire! This is Coruscant Current Affairs. We are completely unfamiliar with Planet Dawn Where is this planet located?"
"Planet Dawn was originally called Endor, located in the Endor System. We are a colony established by a group of refugees, and we have established a good relationship with the local indigenous Ewoks. Through our unremitting efforts, our colony is growing little by little ."
"Ms. Claire! Then will you push Planet Dawn to join the Galactic Republic Senate?"
"I look forward to this very passionately, but I don't dare to hope at this stage. Keeping our people fed and warm remains the number one goal of our colony."
...
[…Where will the future of Planet Dawn and the Planetary Mutual Aid Fund in the Western Outer Rim of the Galaxy go? Let's stay tuned. This is Galactic Republic Nebula Radio, Huey reports for you. ]
Click, a skinny but well-maintained hand stretched out to turn off the holographic projection TV, and a somewhat bald old man in his 50s looked out the window and began to meditate.
Sheev Palpatine, member of the Galactic Republic, Senator of Planet Naboo.
"Planet Dawn...Planet Endor...Moddell Sector..." He repeated several terms in his mouth as if he wanted to find the connection.
Then, he turned on the communicator, and a tall and straight figure appeared in the holographic projection.
Palpatine smiled very politely: "Master Dooku, the last time you went to the Moddell Sector, did you find nothing else besides the colony of the Endor System?"
"Are you also paying attention to this matter? Senator Palpatine." Master Dooku asked back.
"If I had to describe it, the Mutual Aid Fund in the Outer Rim of the Galaxy is like a firefly in the dark. Although the light is weak, it has brought us a glimmer of hope." Palpatine replied.
Master Dooku nodded and said: "The bounty hunters I sent to the Moddell Sector didn't find anything else. Later, after they found the colony group of the Endor System, they became malicious and wanted to rob that colony group was eventually wiped out by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi who happened to be there."
Palpatine changed the subject and said suddenly: "I think, should the Jedi Order also conduct a census of Force-sensitive people on Dawn?"
"I don't pay much attention to the Jedi Order anymore," Dooku said.
"But at least you're still a Jedi Master."
"You are very concerned about Dawn Star, Mr. Senator."
"Because they are the fresh blood of the Republic, and they also put forward proposals that I am very interested in. Their enthusiasm has once again brought light to this decadent Galactic Republic."
"So, you wish to push them into the Senate of the Galactic Republic?"
"Why not? I would love to see Ms. Clare's wonderful speech in Senate."
"Then, in this case, I will do my best for you. I will remind Master Yoda to conduct a census of Force-sensitive people on Planet Dawn."
Turning off the communication, Palpatine cursed secretly, "Idiot! Can you send a few bounty hunters to discover the disturbance of The Force? And it was preempted by the Jedi Knights! But the Jedi Knights should not have made a discovery..."
He shook his head, then pressed the button on the table, and said to the other side: "Mr. Francis, please come in."
After a while, the office door slid open silently, and Francis Underwood walked in.
The smile on Palpatine's face became very kind. He walked up and took Francis's hand with both hands and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Francis. I was just watching Ms. Claire's speech, I am impressed by her eloquence."
Francis also responded with a smile: "Mr. Senator, I am also reading your works. Compared to me, you who have become a member of the Galactic Senate step by step are our best role models."
"Let's get straight to the point. I know what you're here for, Mr. Francis. Regarding the mutual aid fund for planets in the outer ring of the Galaxy, this is a great thing for the Galactic Republic. Regarding this matter, I am naturally..." The expression on Palpatine's face became a little subtle, "I will fully support it."
