"Dunn..." Palpatine's gloomy and distorted voice sounded.
Dunn Wessex hurriedly rolled out of the queue, bowed and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"The Geth was released by Tang Xiao. I am very convinced of this." Palpatine said slowly.
"The defense line in the north is now as solid as a rock, Your Majesty. Not only that, I am also constantly looking for the geth's home planet. As long as I can find it, it will be crucial to unlocking the secrets of the geth." Dunn-Wei
Sykes said.
"I strongly believe that you can stop the geth invasion, Dunn." Although Palpatine's tone was extremely gloomy, his words revealed his trust and love for Dunn, "But the key to the matter is that Tang Xiao is
How to release the geth."
Dunn-Wessex frowned and pondered, "Among the countless pieces of information and stories, one thing that is relatively certain right now is that Tang Xiao and the others come from the Unknown Star Territory. And in the era when our history has not yet been recorded, the Unknown Star Territory
A huge war may have broken out, and Tang Xiao and the others are war refugees. The Seventh Army under my banner has been responsible for the exploration of the unknown star field for a long time, and a lot of information has been transmitted. We are convinced that in the unknown star field, except for the Chiss,
There are also countless races, some powerful, some weird. The evolution of species in the unknown star field is likely to be completely different from what we usually know. The geth may be one of them."
"So since Tang Xiao can find the geth and control the geth, what about us?" Palpatine asked, "If there are still weird and powerful races in the unknown star field, find them and let them be used by the empire!"
"As you wish, my lord." Dunn Wessex responded quickly.
"Wilhuff!" Palpatine looked in Tarkin's direction again, "Can the completion date of the DS-1 combat platform be confirmed?"
Wilhuff Tarkin stood up and said very firmly: "Although the construction process of DS-1 was difficult, we have eliminated many problems. Recently, Krennic found a talented energy scientist, Galen E.
So, he will help us solve the most difficult technology of DS-1 - the problem of crystal energy focusing."
He raised his hand, raised his head and said: "Five years! Five years later, while our fleet is getting ready, the DS-1 battle space station will also complete the final construction! With the combination of DS-1 and our invincible fleet,
Under attack, the Principality of Dawn will not have any chance to struggle!"
"Hahahahahaha! Very good! Very good! Very good!!" Palpatine said several good words in succession, and he seemed to be in a very good mood now, "Remember, don't bomb Dawn with DS-1
Planet. I want to keep Tang Xiao alive...I want him to watch everything he has built be destroyed by me bit by bit...Hehehehe...men are killed and women are ravaged.
, his home was burned, and the land was trampled. I want him to wail in pain and despair for ten thousand years! Hahahahaha..."
He laughed and walked down from the throne, passing through the group of power cores of the empire. They were also very sensible and automatically arranged themselves to be headed by the currently most favored Dunn Wessex and Wilhuff Tarkin.
Two lines of troops followed Palpatine.
"Is there anything we can do about the recent political turmoil in the Principality of Dawn?" Palpatine asked again.
The Minister of Imperial Intelligence, Black Hole, immediately replied: "I am arranging for someone to get close to Francis Underwood. I believe that with the power of our empire and the price offered, Francis will never be able to refuse."
"Haha... can you get close to the Prime Minister of the Dawn Principality?" Palpatine asked coldly, "Since you can get close to him, you can naturally assassinate him, right?"
"This is indeed impossible to do at the moment." Black Hole shook his head, "But Francis' close confidant, Douglas Stamp, was forced to resign due to a scandal today. I think he will be our most suitable breakthrough point.
Magistrate Mas Sirrah has already led his team to carry out this mission."
"Very... good... (Goooood), hehehehe. As long as you can instigate rebellion against the Chancellery of the Principality of Dawn, I will reward you heavily, hahahahaha." Palpatine laughed proudly again.
…
Douglas Stamp suddenly raised his head and drank the entire glass of wine. Even the bartender was shocked by the amount of alcohol he drank.
"One more drink! The rain and dew wine from Planet Seria is indeed... delicious..." Douglas Stamp said drunkenly.
"My suggestion is, don't. My friend, you have already drunk too much. The stamina of the rain wine is very strong. If this continues, you may not even be able to find the door home." Some elderly bartenders shook their heads.
"Don't you think I can't pay you?" Douglas roared angrily, raised his wrist to open the payment tool on the universal tool, and punched the bartender in the face due to his drunkenness, "I have plenty of fucking money!"
"That's not what I meant, friend. I own this bar, and I really don't want to make money like you." The bartender sighed, "Have a glass of juice, it's my treat. Then go home, or stay in the back
How about taking a nap on the couch?”
"Wow! Is this drunk guy the one who apologized on TV yesterday?" A drinker next to him seemed to recognize Douglas and pointed here.
"Obviously you are wrong! George is the younger brother of my wife's cousin! Get away from me, this guy is drunk!" The old bartender waved his hand to drive away the curious drinkers.
"Alas..." After the drinker left, he sighed, leaned on the table while washing the glasses, and whispered to Douglas, "Listen, friend, people like you shouldn't appear here. It's both public and private.
No, go back and find your assistant, bodyguard, bodyguard... whatever. But don't stay here."
"Who am I? I am a civilian now. I don't have any job, civilian." Douglas said drunkenly, "How can a civilian have a bodyguard? No, no. I only have my coat... Oh, by the way,
If I don’t have the money to pay the bill, this coat is worth 5,000 yuan.”
"I won't accept your coat. It's in our best interest to go back to where you belong and do what you're supposed to do." The old bartender shook his head and said.
"That's enough, I'll send him back." A man in a black trench coat suddenly came over from nowhere, sat in front of the old bartender, and pushed a credit ingot worth 1,000 No. 4 coins in his hand.
"Who are you? I've never seen you in this bar." The old bartender became alert.
"Obviously you remembered it wrong. It doesn't matter, I'll take him away." The black windbreaker said.
The old bartender was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Ah, okay. I understand. Take him back quickly, this guy is drunk."
The black windbreaker helped Douglas Stamp up and led him outside.
After he had just walked out a few steps, he saw several burly men in plain clothes walking over and whispered to him: "Put him down!"
"So you are his family? Anyway, before you take this drunkard away, pay for my coat first! This guy vomited all over me!" The black windbreaker looked annoyed, and the gloomy look before was completely gone, and now he looked completely philistine.
As expected, he was covered in Douglas's vomit.
"Okay, I'll give you the money. It's enough for you to buy ten coats. Thank you for taking care of my... er, distant cousin!" One of the big men said nothing, took out a handful of credit ingots and stuffed it in, "I'm sorry.
.So you should go home quickly, wash your clothes and go to bed."
"I fucking want... Oh, okay, no problem." After seeing the face value of the credit ingot in his hand, Black Windbreaker immediately beamed and turned around happily.
The big man breathed a sigh of relief, touched the invisible intercom on his Adam's apple, and whispered: "This is the blue team, we found Douglas...Yes, he is drunk. But everything around him is normal...Okay,
I will arrange for the green team to follow that person for a while."
…
Douglas Stamp opened his eyes and found that it was already morning, and he had been cleaned up and placed on the bed. A warm fragrance came to his face, and he realized that there was a naked young girl lying next to him. Moreover,
Judging from the current state of the bed, it is obvious that at least 20,000 words of drama have occurred between them.
He sat up suddenly, and the movement woke up the girl. She leaned over with a smile, kissed Douglas Stamp on the cheek, then dropped a communicator and said: "I hope you had a good time last night, sir. Now.
, you should listen to this communication."
After saying that, she grabbed the clothes on the bed and left without looking back.
Douglas Stamp opened the communicator, and Francis Underwood appeared in the holographic projection. He was wearing glasses and seemed to be processing documents.
"You're awake, Doug. I hope this woman can let out some of your excess anger and help you regain your composure. Don't worry, your wife doesn't know about this." Francis said without raising his head.
, "But you made another serious mistake last night. You drank too much and fell out of your protection. This makes me have to reconsider whether it is appropriate to continue to keep you by my side."
"I swear this will never happen again, absolutely not!" Douglas Stamp quickly got up.
"How do you expect me to trust you, Doug?" Francis Underwood was still reading the documents without raising his head. "I have made all the appropriate arrangements, but you are so angry because of your inner resentment.
Sneaking out to get drunk? Tell me, which of these things are you not asking for?"
"No! It was just an accident! I didn't have any other ideas!" Douglas shouted.
"Now, go home. Calm down and stay away from the hustle and bustle of politics. I will come back to you at the right time." Francis finally raised his head and said.
"Have you given up on me? After I took the blame for you, your first reaction was to abandon me! Fuck!!" Douglas was still drunk and cursed angrily, grabbing the water bottle next to him and smashing it with a crash.
.
"Standing in our position, the first thing you shouldn't have is such an emotion, Doug." Francis said seriously: "Go back and calm down for a while."
"Don't always be so condescending Frank!" Douglas pointed at Francis's nose in the holographic projection and said loudly, "Do you think I don't know? You are afraid! Afraid that Hari Seldon will get something because of 'that thing'
Tang Xiao's appreciation! Then he will take away your position as Prime Minister of the Empire! You are afraid!! Once 'that thing' is successfully implemented, he will be the Prime Minister of the Empire! Not you!! Do you think you are calm? In this matter
You are just as crazy!!"
However, Francis Underwood just looked up at him, said nothing, and closed the communication.
With a bang, the communicator in Douglas' hand shattered on the wall.
At this time, there was a polite knock on the door.
…
Returning to the villa he bought on the outskirts of Dawn Planet, Douglas Stamp turned on the holographic projection and stared blankly at the constantly playing news.
The news is all about recent events. The Prime Minister's Office is implementing a new economic policy, but it has been criticized for disregarding national security and blindly pleasing ignorant people. Some even say that Francis is taking this opportunity to please those who are preparing for war.
Civilian enterprises that were left out in the cold during the process.
"You guys know nothing!" Douglas waved his hand, and the universal tool automatically sensed and turned off the projection.
Yes, these guys know nothing!
The struggle between Francis Underwood and Helmut Zemo is not a battle of ideas at all, let alone a battle between pacifism and warism, but the throne of the future Reich Chancellor.
fight!
Tang Xiao wants to take a step further from the position of Grand Duke of Dawn. Helmut Zemo has been preparing for this for a long time, and Tang Xiao himself has not explicitly rejected this.
As we all know, if the ruler does not refuse on such a topic, it means that he agrees.
So after taking the next step, what about the others? Will they continue to improve as the tide goes up, or will they be wiped out? It's hard to guarantee. Because Tang Xiao's mood is very unstable now, and no one can guess it.
But one thing is quite obvious, and that is how much Tang Xiao values Hari Seldon. He has been focusing on cultivating this new generation of young people in politics, and Hari Seldon has also delivered excellent results.
.
If this continues, and Operation Plan Zero proposed by Hari Seldon is implemented, or even succeeds in the end, then no one will know whether Francis will be the Prime Minister or not!
Therefore, Francis was also forced to the wall.
Douglas sighed. He stood up and subconsciously walked towards the wine cabinet. However, after taking a few steps, his steps hesitated...
That's right, you shouldn't drink anymore.
But at this time, another voice suddenly sounded in the room, "If you want to have a drink, go ahead and drink it. Although they confiscated all your wine collection, I still brought you a bottle. Just before the wine
The first compartment in the second row of the cabinet...is very conspicuous."
