Forming a cabinet is a very critical matter. Tang Xiao can be said to have used all the resources at his disposal. He carefully selected candidates, and finally after a long discussion, he selected his chief think tank.
.
That is also a legendary figure - yes, Tang Xiao awakened two legendary figures in succession in order to form a cabinet.
In addition to Ni Yongxiao, there is another person. Compared with Francis Underwood, he is not suitable for working in the political arena, but his IQ and his planning can be said to be Tang Xiao's best in film and television works.
It's rare to see anything like it.
Moreover, this person is not the type like Luther and Mengsk who have to worry about being bitten at any time after awakening, so he is more secure to use.
He has a very strategic mind, is good at grasping the key to problems, and achieves impossible goals with small and big ideas.
If I want to use a metaphor, it is that he once moved a building with a matchstick!
He is just a mortal, but he once relied on his own plans to cause the extremely powerful superheroes to collapse and split!
He will be another disaster that Tang Xiao brings to this galaxy...
Tang Xiao believes that if this person becomes his chief think tank, he will have greater confidence in the future struggle——
Baron Helmut Zemo (movie version)!
The man who single-handedly overturned the Avengers!
…
"Chief Minister of the Cabinet? A somewhat strange title for a position, but it can be regarded as the first step in fulfilling a promise." Francis Underwood threw the documents in his hand aside and picked up the wine glass in front of him to sip lightly.
Take a sip.
Claire Underwood picked up the document and looked at it, "Actually, what I'm more concerned about is, who are this Helmut Zemo and Ni Yongxiao? Why were they directly entrusted with important tasks and joined the newly established company?
cabinet?"
"That's not the point, Claire." Francis said with a smile.
"So what do you think the key is?" Claire dropped the documents, came to the closet, took off her coat very naturally in front of Francis, and began to take out the dresses in the closet and try them on.
"Location, location, location." Francis stood up, stood by the window, opened the window, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the windowsill, lit it for himself, took a deep breath, and then exhaled the smoke.
Out the window, "As I've said countless times, power is like real estate, location determines value. The closer you are to the core, the higher your value."
"Then the position of chief minister of the cabinet, does it mean that we are closer to the core?" Claire took out a red dress for comparison, shook her head and put it down, then picked up a black one.
"On the contrary, it's further away." Francis had finished smoking a cigarette, put out the cigarette butt, and said slowly with his arms crossed: "In this cabinet, Chi Jianjun is in charge of scientific research, and his position cannot be shaken.
Ni Yongxiao is Tang Xiao's assistant and is responsible for handling his daily affairs. Helmut Zemo is Tang Xiao's chief think tank. There is no doubt that Tang Xiao will discuss many daily matters with them. So, nominally I
I am the chief minister of the cabinet, but I cannot actually influence any cabinet member."
Claire stiffened as she changed her clothes, and her voice trembled a little, "You mean, the manager is alienating us?"
"He asked me to be the chief minister of the cabinet, even if it was just in name, but at least it was expressing one meaning - he has not forgotten his previous promise." Francis smiled easily, "Ah, by the way, I
I thought the red dress just now was very nice."
"Tomorrow I am going to attend a meeting of the Outer Planets Mutual Aid Fund of the Galaxy. I think as an organization where weak people join forces to keep warm, I should behave a little more plainly, such as solemn black." Claire frowned.
"This mutual fund is not important. What is important is the influence you gain from it. Do you understand? Choosing red represents your enthusiasm. Let everyone focus on you. This is our purpose."
Rancis said.
Claire picked up the red dress again and smiled, "Then red. By the way, will you go tomorrow?"
"I won't go, I have other things to do." Francis shook his head.
"Speaking of which, Thumbak Tula, the councilor from Planet Semels, suddenly expressed his support for this mutual aid fund." Claire said.
"Planet Semels is a planet with very developed industries in the outer ring. With their support, your mutual aid fund will definitely have a stronger influence." Francis said with a smile.
"You did this?"
"Just a little seasoning."
…
The next day, a luxury hotel on the surface of Coruscant.
Countless high-ranking officials of the Galactic Republic and planetary councilors gathered here, and waiters shuttled among them, serving delicious food to these people.
They gathered together in twos and threes, exchanging topics that might affect the fate of a planet in just one or two sentences.
Claire Underwood, wearing a red dress, stood on the stage, facing the officials and planet representatives below, smiling and said, "Let us pay more attention to the planets in the outer ring of the Milky Way! While we enjoy a prosperous life, we should
Understand, there are still people on backward planets who are starving! Some planets can’t even send shuttles to send their representatives to Coruscant to make their voices heard!”
"...Let us unite! If the Republic cannot solve the food and clothing problem of the backward planets in the outer ring, then we will have to solve it ourselves!"
"...Planet Rodia is willing to join the Mutual Aid Fund for Planets in the Outer Ring of the Galaxy!"
"...Planet Jabim is willing to join the mutual aid fund!"
"...The planet Semels is willing to join and can provide a group of robots to help the outer-ring planets in production work."
Some planetary councilors also expressed their opinions and made donations, and the atmosphere became heated.
In a remote corner, a tall and energetic old man was standing there, holding a glass of expensive champagne in his hand and taking an elegant sip.
Claire Underwood, who had finished her speech, chatted for a few words with Thumbak Tula, a member of the planet Semels who was wearing gorgeous clothes. Then she spotted the old man, said goodbye to Tula, and walked over.
"Master Dooku, it is an honor for you to participate in this event. I noticed that you also donated 5 million credits to our fund. On behalf of the impoverished planets of the Outer Rim, I would like to express my highest respect to you. You have changed our view of
The impression of a Jedi Knight." Claire said with a smile.
