Tang Xiao walked out of the box, took the shuttle directly to the Glory mothership, and came to the conference room.
Baron Helmut Zemo, Ni Yongxiao, and Qi Jian are already waiting in the conference room. Inside the holographic projection, Frances Underwood, Claire Underwood, and Gross Shelbia are also participating remotely.
meeting.
Seeing Tang Xiao come in, everyone stood up and saluted.
Francis Underwood said: "Just two standards ago, the negotiations between the Galactic Republic and the Trade Federation completely failed. Newt Gunray rejected all proposals proposed by Finis Valorum, and in free trade
We firmly opposed the proposal to tax the area and refused all mediation. Now, Newt Gunray and the Trade Federation delegation have left Coruscant."
"The Trade Federation must have made preparations." Tang Xiao nodded, looked at Baron Zemo and asked, "How is the situation on the planet Naboo?"
"At about the same time, Newt Gunray's deputy Rune Harkor also withdrew from negotiations with the planet Naboo. They refused to re-sign the trade agreement." Baron Zemo said.
"The financial situation of the planet Naboo absolutely cannot allow that unequal trade agreement to continue. Now there is only one way before the new queen." Tang Xiao frowned.
Francis shook his head and folded his hands on the table, "No, in fact, she can't even take this last road. Although she has formally submitted a motion to the Galactic Republic Parliament, hoping that the Republic will mediate the matter, the Republic
Parliament will not come forward."
"For a country to do this, it can only be said that they brought their own fate to their own fault." Ni Yongxiao said calmly with a stern face, "However, they are not afraid of the Trade Alliance, right? What on earth caused Finis-Valorum?
Reject this motion?"
"This matter is no longer a question of whether to be afraid or not." Francis said: "Because if we continue to take a step forward, there will only be war, and the Republic cannot be the party that provokes the war. What's more, even if Finis Valorum
If you want to start a war, who should you fight with? A company? Does the Judicial Fleet allow it?"
Tang Xiao stretched out his index finger and tapped it lightly on the table. He was silent for a while before speaking: "Whether it is the prophecy I saw or the development of things, the war on the planet Naboo is bound to break out. So now our topic is, Naboo
To what extent do we need to intervene in the dispute on Planet Bu?"
"What we need to pay attention to is Hego Damask II's attitude and when he will die." Baron Helmut Zemo asked, staring at Tang Xiao.
"Hego gave me the Sith Infiltrator, which basically showed his attitude. Palpatine will definitely kill him. However, I will also go to Coruscant in person to add more details to this matter.
An insurance. A matter I asked the village special agent to check before has already been revealed, and I will go there in the near future." Tang Xiao said.
"What is it that makes our Governor so concerned?" Gross-Shelbia smiled lightly.
"Then my suggestion is, don't interfere." Baron Helmut Zemo said decisively.
"Aren't you going to interfere? If we send troops, we can reverse the outcome of the war on the planet Naboo. The final result of this war will end with the Trade Federation occupying Naboo." Tang Xiao glanced at Zemo.
"This war is not fierce on the surface, but there are too many interests involved. It is even related to the prophecy of the Force." Baron Zemo said.
"Are you studying the force?" Tang Xiao frowned, "This is a field that even involves mysticism. It is probably in vain."
"But I believe that everything can be traced. For example, the Battle of Naboo..." Baron Zemo said: "If we join the war, successfully capture the planet Naboo and prevent the subsequent counterattack, then
The galactic civil war may break out early. Moreover, this may prevent Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker from meeting and falling in love."
"This is a boring topic... What does the love between two people have to do with us?" Ni Yongxiao rubbed his forehead.
"No, if the prophecy you saw, Governor, is correct, Padmé is the reason why Anakin falls to the dark side, but at the same time, it is also because of Padmé's existence that Anakin becomes weaker."
Baron Zemo said.
"I don't quite agree with this statement..." Tang Xiao frowned.
"Perhaps great love can really make a person extremely powerful, but obviously, for Padmé, the dominant emotion in Anakin's heart is fear. He is too afraid of losing, and it is this fear that makes him
Can't get stronger. So, I don't think we can add more variables to him, especially since we have lost control of Anakin."
Tang Xiao nodded.
Previously, due to a series of unexpected events, Jabba the Hutt and Gardura the Hutt almost fought an all-out war on the planet Tatooine, and Mos Espa Port was severely damaged. In addition, the Fourth Civilization at that time
He is too weak and does not have the ability to find someone in the vast Tatooine.
As a result, he has not been able to find the whereabouts of the chosen son Anakin Skywalker until now, and he lives in Mos Espa Port, and his life or death is still uncertain. This has always been a worry for Tang Xiao.
If the bond between the Force and destiny really exists, then the only way to let the war on Naboo break out and end is this...
"Then let me confirm once again, if we assist the Trade Federation in occupying the planet Naboo without considering Anakin Skywalker, what will be the benefit to us?" Tang Xiao asked in a deep voice.
"It has no impact on the outcome of the Republic, but it is very good for Palpatine. But this result is not good for us." Baron Zemo answered decisively.
"Then let's make sure. When the Trade Federation decides to take action, we will send military observers. Other than that, we will not directly participate in this war." Tang Xiao stood up and made a decision directly, "Let's adjourn the meeting."
"Wait a minute, Governor." Gross-Shelbia suddenly said, "Are you interested in attending an auction?"
Tang Xiao smiled lightly and said, "I think this is not the occasion to propose a date, Representative Shelbia."
However, Gross-Shelbia took out a gilded invitation and placed it in front of the projector for Tang Xiao to see clearly, "This is an invitation from Mrs. Sev-Seryssex. The auction object is...
…a Jedi Padawan.”
Tang Xiao immediately stamped his feet and looked at the invitation in the projection. Suddenly he thought of something and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
