In fact, when Palpatine received the call from Tang Xiao, he was also very surprised. Because between the two Sith Lords, there was no longer any room for maneuver, and the only thing left was life and death.
.
Talk? Actually there is nothing to talk about.
This was Palpatine's first thought, but Tang Xiao's first words dispelled his idea and decided to continue the conversation.
"I salute you, the respected Emperor of the Galactic Empire, His Majesty Palpatine." Tang Xiaopi said with a smile.
Prior to this, Palpatine had given up his name and only retained his surname. So the name Schiff has become history, and Palpatine is Palpatine, representing both his family and himself.
.
Seeing Tang Xiao's really unbeatable expression in the holographic projection, Palpatine's expression condensed, "I am now the Supreme Speaker of the Galactic Republic. This is not a place for you to talk nonsense, separatist war criminals.
The second most wanted criminal in the galaxy, Tang Xiao."
"There is no need to hide it. You are almost ready to reorganize the Galactic Republic into the First Empire of the Galaxy, Palpatine." Tang Xiao said lightly, "The only question now is, when do you plan to declare it?
What about this? Today? Tomorrow?"
"It seems that you got a lot of information from Hego Damask II." Palpatine's expression moved slightly. He attributed Tang Xiao's foresight to his master. After all, Tang Xiao's
Before appearing, he and Hego Damask II proposed a complete plan on how to subvert the Galactic Republic.
But even so, Tang Xiao even called out the name of his planned country, which still made him a little surprised.
"Let's get straight to the point, Palpatine. When do you plan to continue attacking the Dawn Planet?" Tang Xiao asked directly.
A ferocious smile appeared on Palpatine's face, "Soon, dear Tang Xiao, soon... I will put your body together with Heige, one on the left and one on the right, and display them in front of my table
, appreciate it every day..."
"Then I'll be waiting for you on Dawn Planet now, come on." Tang Xiao sneered.
"You can't be proud for long! Tang Xiao! Soon, I will attack with ten times or a hundred times the strength! Your small planet and poor allies cannot resist my offensive forever!" Parr
Patin said with a cruel smile.
"Ten times? A hundred times? Hahahaha..." Tang Xiao sneered, "Then what you will get will only be ten times, a hundred times the corpses! Tell me Palpatine, when will your next attack be? One year
?Two years? Five or ten years?"
"This has nothing to do with you, you just need to calm down and wait for death to come!" Palpatine gritted his teeth.
However, Tang Xiao smiled instead, changed the subject, and suddenly changed direction, "Then, how about I surrender?"
Palpatine's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Tang Xiao with a sinister and terrifying look like a poisonous snake!
However, Tang Xiao seemed not to see his terrifying expression and said to himself: "The Principality of Dawn and its jurisdiction will surrender to the current Coruscant regime headed by Palpatine and become a member of the Coruscant regime again.
...Including, but not limited to, the Galactic Republic, or the Galactic Empire..."
He did not show all the cards in his hand. In fact, at this time, he listed Palpatine's dilemma one by one. It seemed very pretentious, but in fact it was a very stupid way of negotiating.
Especially for a smart guy like Palpatine.
Palpatine is naturally well aware of his own predicament, but when he thinks about it himself and when you point it out directly, they have completely opposite effects.
Tang Xiao knew that it was impossible for him to compete with Palpatine in eloquence, even if Francis Underwood was standing next to him, always guiding his words. Therefore, he stated his conditions straightforwardly.
As for the process, it is left to Palpatine to judge.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, Palpatine did not directly mock him, nor did he refuse him, but looked at him with extremely fierce eyes.
Indeed, Palpatine had seen further. He knew that the reason why Tang Xiao made this offer was because he calculated that it would be difficult for him to refuse! Not only that, while it was difficult to refuse, he also had to offer Tang Xiao enough.
It’s all about the benefits!
Therefore, Tang Xiao meant surrender, but in other words, he wanted the benefits given by Palpatine! If he understood this in an instant, it was strange that Palpatine's face looked good!
If another person comes here and hears Tang Xiao say this, oh, you surrender? Okay, I’m sure. If that’s the case, it would be weird if Tang Xiao doesn’t treat him as a fool and laugh at him. Political negotiations generally mean this.
If you only look at the surface, you are destined to be played by others and applauded.
Palpatine didn't answer immediately, he just looked at Tang Xiao fiercely.
Tang Xiao was not in a hurry and just stared back. The two Sith Lords, one big and one small, stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. By the way, Tang Xiao was the one with bigger eyes, because
His handsomeness is second only to Master Kagami (bushi).
He knew that Palpatine was in a very bad situation right now, and that he was about to become emperor. Otherwise, his position as Speaker might not even be secure!
Because recently, especially the failure of this series of military operations against the Principality of Dawn, it was a huge blow to Palpatine. This was true both militarily and politically.
It was because of the outbreak of this war that Palpatine received the emergency ruling power granted by the Parliament. If the war goes very smoothly, just like the Clone Wars in the original plot, then all the glory will belong to him, and he will be emperor.
It's naturally a matter of course.
But now, this is not the case.
The power of emergency ruling is also a double-edged sword, so this series of failures will naturally become Palpatine's responsibility. The reason why members of the parliament, led by Bail Organa and others, want to impeach him at every turn is
It's for this reason.
So now, if Palpatine does not lift the table, but continues to sit in the council and play this democratic game with Bail Organa and the others, he will inevitably have long nights and dreams as time goes by.
This is especially true of the failures of the Model Sector Assault Battle and the Yago-Dur System Battle. The consequences of the failure of these two battles are now gradually emerging, including drastic changes in the Quat Power Shipyard, reduction in warship production, and huge financial revenue.
deficit, huge pensions, etc.
Spady clone troopers cannot be used as generalists and battleship operators like the Kamino clone troopers. Therefore, most of the current Republic Navy officers and soldiers are ordinary people.
Ordinary soldiers died in battle, but they need pensions!
The results of the battle can be whitewashed through the media, and right and wrong can be confused, but the dead cannot be resurrected! And their families will turn to the current government for pensions!
Therefore, once the consequences of these two battles gradually come to light, Palpatine's reputation will suffer a serious blow. At that time, he could still withstand the impeachment of Bail Organa's congressmen.
for how long?
Turning over the table is Palpatine's only option.
