After drinking, Tang Xiao said nothing more. He merely waved Yarno away, then lay down on the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, the first thing he did after getting up was summon Yarno and Cun Te.
"Yo~~ Old Tang, calling me over this early? So you've got a solution?" Cun Te greeted Tang Xiao with a grin and a wave, as though nothing had happened.
"Actually, I've never had any solution for Rendili's current situation." Tang Xiao spoke calmly. "The bond between Rendili and the Galactic Republic spans twenty-five thousand years. It is not something I alone can reverse."
Yarno frowned. "Then... Governor, are you planning to..."
She made a gesture of flipping over a table.
"You really intend to flip the table? Destroy Rendili?" Cun Te's expression changed slightly as he turned to ask.
He would not question whether Tang Xiao could do it. Based on what he knew of Tang Xiao, once Tang Xiao had put things this way, he could definitely make it happen.
Tang Xiao said evenly, "Conventional methods cannot solve this, so naturally, we can only flip the table. Rendili faces three problems. First, we cannot tell who supports the Republic and who supports the Separatists. Second, the Planet Defense Fleet is no longer under their control. Third, the ties between Rendili Planet, the company, and the Galactic Republic run too deep. Most people would not support breaking away from the Galactic Republic."
"All three problems are unsolvable." Cun Te shook his head.
"That is why I said conventional methods would not work." Tang Xiao raised two fingers. "But with unconventional means, perhaps I can solve the first two problems. As for the third, only time can wear it away."
"What are you going to do, perform magic?"
