Planet Endor, the meeting room of the Glory Mothership.
Tang Xiao sat on the main seat, and Ni Yongxiao and another person who also looked younger and a bit more delicate sat on both sides of him.
This is Baron Helmut Zemo, the chief think tank appointed by Tang Xiao.
What's interesting is that Ni Yongxiao and Baron Zemo are both men with glasses, and they both have super-good looks.
Tang Xiao was very pleased to see that the looks of his two staff members almost caught up with himself.
On the screen in the conference room, the news that Sheev Palpatine announced the submission of a proposal to allow Planet Dawn to enter the Senate was being played.
"What does Palpatine mean?" Tang Xiao asked with a frown.
Baron Zemo thought for a while and said: "Now is not the best time to propose this proposal. We are far from enough to enter the Galactic Senate in terms of population, strength and influence."
"I don't like the twists and turns of these politicians, but what I can be sure of is that Palpatine cannot be ignorant of this, he must have done it on purpose." Ni Yongxiao also said aside.
"Francis Underwood also meant the same thing. He originally just wanted to get Palpatine's support and stand on the same line with him, but Palpatine turned around, took his things and didn't say came to the Galactic Senate..." Tang Xiao rubbed his temples.
This is also the place where he has the most headache.
Although he knows the direction of the plot, this is a very huge advantage. But he can't predict all the things that involve himself, because there is no Fourth Civilization in the plot.
So whenever this happens, the situation will become a situation where the Fourth Civilization competes directly with the opponent, whether it is force or intelligence.
He accepted the suggestion of Professor Chi Jianjun, set up a cabinet think tank, and awakened two legendary figures, Ni Yongxiao and Baron Zemo, for this reason.
"Don't you still have a master? He has a high position in the Interstellar Banking Clan, why don't you go to him?" Ni Yongxiao asked.
"You can't ask Hego for help. As long as he intervenes, it will only bring negative effects. Those business giants are not very popular." Baron Zemo leaned back on the backrest, "Supreme Commander, you said before, What is Palpatine's purpose?"
"Cause conflicts between the Outer Rim and the Inner Rim and Core Worlds, and then provoke a Civil War within the Galaxy." Tang Xiao replied.
"So if you think about it from this aspect, then we may just be a bullet," Zemo said.
"Bullet?" Tang Xiao asked.
"That's right a bullet, a bullet fired at the Galactic Republic. Next, he will use Claire Underwood's hot topic just now on the Mutual Aid Fund of the Outer Rim Planets of the Galaxy to make us a typical example of attacking the Republic." Zemo smiled coldly.
"How to do it?"
"It's enough to make the motion invalid, and then he will go to Francis and tell him that he has tried his best to find support, but the voting process was obstructed by the business giants such as the Trade Federation, and he ended up missing a few votes. Then, According to Francis' reaction, he will have two choices." Baron Zemo continued.
"First, if Francis listens to him and goes to the media to complain, then Palpatine's purpose has been achieved-a vibrant planet, shut out by business giants, and Is it more satirical of the Republic than this? Second, even if Francis did not go to make trouble, but went home quietly, Sheev Palpatine can also promote this matter by himself, guide the people to guess by themselves, and point their heads at the Republic. "
"It's a very clever strategy. He keeps using every opportunity to put himself in the spotlight. In fact, his approach is exactly the same as that of Francis Underwood." Ni Yongxiao shook his head.
Tang Xiao said in a deep voice: "I think Frank will find a third option. So is there any way we can cooperate?"
Zemo said directly: "Let's cooldown on this matter. We issued a statement stating that we will focus our energy on the national economy and the people's livelihood, and even if there are no seats in the Senate, we will support the Republic in various ways."
"Okay." Tang Xiao nodded, and then said to the mastermind, "Master, notify the administration department and draw up a statement for me immediately. Notify the Shuguang channel, and I will issue this statement tomorrow."
"Since I am your assistant, shouldn't I draw up this statement?" Ni Yongxiao asked with a sudden smile.
"Want to be lazy? You can't do that. I have more important things for you to do." Tang Xiao laughed.
However, at this moment, the main brain suddenly sent him a message through the chip implanted in the brain. Tang Xiao's face turned cloudy in an instant. He originally wanted to stand up and leave the meeting, but now he froze in place.
Ni Yongxiao immediately realized that something was wrong, "What happened? Supreme Commander."
"The smuggling Freighter we sent to Planet Cerea was robbed and lost a batch of weapons and ammunition." Tang Xiao's face was gloomy.
"Since we want to run the line of arms smuggling, it is normal to be blacked out." Ni Yongxiao said.
"The problem is that it was Black Sun who robbed our ship," Tang Xiao said.
"Oh? Black Sun. They finally couldn't hold back anymore." Ni Yongxiao touched his chin.
Tang Xiao sat down again and said to Ni Yongxiao: "Leave this matter to you. I will assign you an Assault-class Light Destroyer and 12 Hammerhead-class Light Frigates. Don't confront Black Sun head-on, figure out what they are doing."
"Yes." Ni Yongxiao responded, stood up and prepared to leave.
"By the way." Tang Xiao stopped him again, "The situation on Planet Cerea has changed, and this planet may already be on the brink of civil war. Yuri Orlov is selling weapons there, and he needs us to cooperate here, but at this juncture, we must not expose our identity as an arms exporting country!"
"No problem, do you need me to go to Planet Cerea myself?" Ni Yongxiao asked.
"It won't work these days, at least until the turmoil caused by Palpatine subsides." Tang Xiao shook his head and replied.
...
Compared with the invisible swords and guns on Coruscant and Planet Dawn, Tatooine has been fighting with real swords and guns for a long time.
After Gardulla the Hutt received the support of the Black Sun, he once saw the hope of revival but was quickly beaten to nothing by Jabba's power.
Jabba directly offered a huge bounty of 100 million Galactic Credits for Gardulla's head. Under this crazy bounty, countless bounty hunters flocked to compete for this huge sum of money, and even bounty hunters, there are also frequent internal fights.
