Rune Harker's body shook violently, and he stared at Douglas in disbelief.
He never told anyone about his intention to seduce Newt Gunray, and he definitely didn't leave any written record, because it was just a plan.
However, the person in front of me said it accurately!
He even expressed his deepest thoughts!
"So, tell me, should I cut off a promising employee's dream, or fulfill his ambition to climb up the ladder?" Douglas Stamp still twirled his wine glass slowly.
Rune Harkor was completely subdued. He almost lay on the table and whispered in a trembling voice: "Whatever you want me to do, I will do it no matter what it is."
Douglas looked at him with satisfaction, and exchanged glances with a woman on the opposite table without leaving any trace. The woman was smartly dressed in a shirt, a one-step skirt and black stockings. She also held a personal terminal in her hand.
She looks like a strong woman in the office.
What's a little unique is that there are two bunches of hair on her forehead that are dyed purple.
She is the super hacker, Super Lotus, who was recently sent to Coruscant. Her fingers flicked across the screen and found that a communication was connected. A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she tapped the keyboard a few times to connect the communication.
The signal was completely intercepted, and then he made a concealed gesture.
Douglas nodded and said, "There's no need to wait for your arrangements, they will never come."
Rune Harkou's feet gave way and almost slipped under the table. At this time, he had completely given up hope and had to lower his head and remain silent.
Douglas pushed over a piece of paper and said, "Do as it says, and you will still have a future. Otherwise..."
When Rune Harkou read the content of the note, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat, "If I do this, the people above will never look good on me..."
"It seems that between good looks and the future, you chose the latter?"
"No...I will do it..."
"Very good. But you don't have to worry. Since you have contributed, we will naturally report back."
…
"The Mutual Aid Fund for Planets in the Outer Ring of the Galaxy has obtained the signatures of 94 planetary councilors! If we can get 6 more signatures, our initiative will be formally discussed by the Galactic Parliament! Our goal is only one step away!
!" During a rally, Claire Underwood raised her arms and shouted on the stage.
Next to her, representatives from the planets such as Rodia, Semels, Jabiem, and Marastal were also cheering for her.
"We must unite to face injustice and exploitation! We must make our voices resound across the galaxy!!" Claire Underwood said loudly.
The people in the audience clapped loudly and cheered, and the atmosphere was very warm.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly there was a gunshot in a building ahead!
Bang!! An explosive beam directly hit the podium in front of Claire, and the powerful power directly blew the podium to pieces!
Almost at this moment, the T-850 bodyguards on the side swooped over and blocked Claire directly behind her. Several other bodyguards quickly pushed her to the ground and escorted her away with their waists bent.
The scene was filled with screams and exclamations. The bodyguards of several other planetary congressmen responded equally quickly and sent away their respective protection targets as soon as possible.
The ordinary people who were watching fled in all directions, but the reporters kept moving forward, fearing that they would miss any wonderful shots, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
At the same time, on the surface of Coruscant, in an office of the Trade Federation, Rune Harkor adjusted his black hat, took a deep breath nervously, and walked out.
He said to his secretary: "Immediately issue an announcement to Rodia Planet and Jabiem Planet, telling them that if they do not withdraw from the mutual aid fund, their transportation tax will increase by 50% starting from next month!"
The female Twi'lek secretary was startled and said quickly: "Now the Galaxy Outer Rim Planet Mutual Aid Fund is the focus of public opinion. If we issue a public announcement at this time, I am afraid it will have an impact on the image of our trade alliance..."
"Idiot!!" Rune Harkou screamed, "If we don't stop the mutual aid funds and let their influence continue to expand, it will directly affect our income! We want money or image! You
Choose one for yourself!”
The assistant trembled and quickly picked up the communicator and started to carry out the tasks assigned by Rune Harkor.
…
News spreads extremely fast. Within a few hours after Claire Underwood was attacked, the news that the founder of the Outer Planets Mutual Aid Fund was shot spread throughout the galaxy.
Journalists and the media are natural conspiracy theorists, and they immediately think of many things.
For example, the reason behind this shooting is naturally that some people do not want to see this mutual aid fund continue to develop. But who is it?
Some people began to analyze in a serious way that the mutual aid fund allows the backward outer ring galaxies to help each other, so that the capitalists who specialize in monopolizing planetary trade and making huge profits have no room to exploit. Especially the trade alliance that monopolizes many planets, even more
It will be greatly affected.
As we all know, the biggest business of the Trade Federation is the transportation business. Because many of the participating planets in the Galactic Republic are actually very backward in technology, and some planets are even slaves. In the Middle Ages, it was really difficult for them to build spaceships immediately.
Because in order to allow these planets to join the big family of the Galactic Republic as soon as possible, the Republic has a series of support policies. Of course, few of these policies are actually implemented.
But no matter what, since you have joined the Galactic Republic, at the very least, you must station a representative in Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, right? Where did those medieval planets get the spaceships?
To take a closer look, if you want to buy the advanced technologies and products of the Galactic Republic, you need money, right? But how do you get the money? You sell natural resources. But how do you sell them?
The Trade Federation will come to your door at this time.
They will provide transportation services to these planets, send their representatives to Coruscant or other planets as needed, and transport their products to sell to other places in the galaxy.
Over time, the Trade Alliance gradually took control of the Galactic Republic's transportation industry. It cannot be said to be a monopoly, but in the backward outer ring sectors of the Milky Way, most planets rely on the Trade Alliance for their logistics.
This is the core interest of the Trade Federation, so it is not difficult to understand why the Trade Federation is hostile to the Galaxy Outer Rim Mutual Aid Fund.
