"Because this is my true idea. I won't try to convince you, because I don't think I can do it. But I can put the interests in front of you and let you make a choice." Tang Xiao stood
He stood up, walked behind Francis' sofa, and held down the back of the sofa, "Francis Underwood, what you want is power and the pleasure of standing at the top of the food chain, so I'll give you this.
"
"I have to remind you, Mr. Administrator. At present, we are only a colony with a population of more than 10,000 and a mothership. As far as I know, even the first empire in our history had a population of at least one million
,So, are you sure you are not joking?"
"In that case, I would like to ask, why did you accept the awakening?"
"I said, I saw a bigger stage, which also allowed me to get more. Maybe I will be more straightforward, but this stage is not necessarily here. The Galactic Republic, how magnificent
Even if the building's gorgeous appearance is full of termites and borers, this is where we play, isn't it?"
"For example, Hego-Damask II?"
"He is a man of high authority. The gain or loss of a planet will not even make him blink an eye. At the same time, he is also your master, right? He is a dangerous person, but I also agree with your judgment. He
It will also bring endless opportunities. But to be his disciple..." Francis shook his head, "You are equivalent to shackling yourself in a cage that you have no ability to break out of."
"So, you don't think highly of me, Francis."
"You are too young as a manager. Being young means lacking experience. You cannot fight against those who have been immersed in politics all your life. I am very optimistic about your future, but maybe this future is difficult to see at my age."
"That's why I need your help."
"But can you really give me what I want?"
"Prime Minister of the Empire, this is a status and power that you cannot get anywhere in this galaxy. Only I can give it to you in the entire galaxy."
"We are having a very serious conversation, manager, and I feel that now is not the time to talk about this joke." Francis smiled slightly, "After all, anyone can give me such a promise, even a beggar on the overpass.
,right?"
Speaking of which, even without using the Force, Tang Xiao was sure that Francis was starting to feel a little angry.
Tang Xiao stood up, walked to the window, looked at the vast galaxy, and said slowly: "This is no joke, Francis. Because the future of the entire galaxy is under my control."
He raised one hand and stretched out toward the stars outside the window, as if he wanted to grasp the infinite stars in his hands.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, manager." Francis Underwood frowned, and he also noticed that there was something in Tang Xiao's words that seemed not to be simple.
Tang Xiao turned and looked at Francis, "I can see the future of this galaxy. I have already seen everything. Now we have complete technology, 650,000 hibernating elites, and 5 billion frozen embryos.
These are my foundations, the foundations that can create our own world in this known future."
"The future of the galaxy?"
Tang Xiao started directly: "In three years, to be precise, two years and eight months later, a war will break out on the planet Naboo. The Trade Federation will use the excuse of tax disputes to send troops to surround the planet Naboo and cut off all external contacts.
The Galactic Republic Parliament was unable to resolve this dispute, which ultimately led to the resignation of the current Speaker Finis Valorum, and Senator Sheev Palpatine became the new Speaker of the Republic."
Francis just looked at Tang Xiao and said nothing.
"Then under the leadership of Palpatine, the Galactic Republic moved step by step towards war. And 10 years after the Battle of Naboo, the galaxy was divided into two, and a civil war of unprecedented scale broke out." Tang Xiao said slowly,
"This is our opportunity."
He walked over again and looked down at Francis sitting on the sofa with burning eyes, "I will assure you that the economic, industrial and military strength of the fourth civilization will become stronger step by step until it is strong enough to participate in this war.
This is my job. And you, my Prime Minister, I need you to go to Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, to fight for the status we deserve. Only if we cooperate with each other, will the Fourth Civilization have a chance to advance in the Galaxy?
On the ruins of the Republic, Nirvana became...the Fourth Reich!"
"I remember I didn't agree to your request, Mr. Manager." Francis Underwood said with a smile.
"No, you will agree. Because I have seen your thoughts, my Prime Minister." An imperceptible red flashed in Tang Xiao's eyes, "I wonder if you are satisfied with me in this interview?"
"Can you tell that I'm testing you?" Francis looked at Tang Xiao with interest.
"This galaxy is different from before, but it also gives me the opportunity to go further. Francis, please become my right-hand man, and then become the Prime Minister of the Empire!" Tang Xiao stretched out his hand and said.
Francis stood up and stretched out his hand to hold Tang Xiao's hand, "I agree to your request, Mr. Manager. But this does not mean that I will agree with the statement about that...'imperial prime minister', because I still
I can’t see any possibility of realizing it, and personally, I really hate this kind of fake and empty pie.”
Then he turned around and said: "But I decided to exercise my responsibilities, which is why I boarded the mothership - I will help you, for now. And I also hope that our fourth civilization can be on your side
Lead the next step to rise."
Tang Xiao nodded, sat down in front of Francis, and said word for word: "What I want to say next is related to your future course of action, and your actions are related to every step of the fourth civilization.
Action. But you have to understand that I will only say these words once, only the two of us know them, and they will not be formed into any written document."
Francis nodded, "Go ahead."
"It is now the Galactic Republic Era 25018, but I will mark the year in another way. This year is 35BBY, and it is September. The Galactic Republic is ruled by the Galactic Parliament, and the supreme leader is the Speaker. The Speaker will be subject to many restrictions.
This is a very typical democratic system. At the same time, there is another group of guardians of the Galactic Republic - the Jedi Order. They have a transcendent status. Although they do not have any political positions, they can intervene in every evil thing they think, and
Because of their status, officials at all levels must facilitate their actions."
"Then the most important thing is that Finis Valorum, the current Speaker of the Galactic Republic, will soon lose control of the situation. Under a series of conspiracies, in 32 BBY, which is more than 2 years later, the Trade Federation will use the excuse of tax
The problem of blocking the planet Naboo was actually putting pressure on the Republic, which led to the outbreak of the Battle of Naboo..." Tang Xiao told him bit by bit what he knew about the plot of the current period.
