133. Overt and covert attacks
Endor, Glory mothership conference room.
Tang Xiao is sitting on the main seat, Ni Yongxiao and another person who also looks younger and has a somewhat delicate appearance are sitting on both sides of him.
This is the chief think tank appointed by Helmut-Baron Zemo and Tang Xiao.
What's interesting is that Ni Yongxiao and Baron Zemo are both men with glasses, and both have very good looks.
Tang Xiao was very pleased to see that the appearance of his two staff almost caught up with his own.
On the screen in the conference room, the news that Sheev-Palpatine announced the submission of a proposal to allow Dawn Star Planet to enter the parliament was being played.
"What does Palpatine mean?" Tang Xiao asked with a frown.
Baron Zemo thought for a while and said, "Now is not the best time to propose this motion. Whether it is our population, strength or influence, we are far from enough to enter Galactic Senate."
"I don't like the twists and turns of these politicians, but what I can confirm is that Palpatine cannot possibly not know this. He must have done it on purpose." Ni Yongxiao also said on the side.
"Francis-Underwood means the same thing. He originally just wanted to get Palpatine's support and stand on the same line as him, but Palpatine turned around and stabbed Galactic Senate about what Francis had not said..." Tang Xiao rubbed his temples.
This is also his biggest headache.
Although he knows where the plot is going, this is a huge advantage. But all the things involving themselves were completely unpredictable to him, because there was no Fourth Civilization of him in the plot.
So every time at this time, the situation will become a situation where Fourth Civilization competes directly with the opponent, whether it is force or intelligence.
He accepted Professor Chi Jianjun's suggestion, established a cabinet think tank, and awakened two Legendary figures, Ni Yongxiao and Baron Zemo, at one time, just for this purpose.
"Don't you still have a master? He has a high position in the InterGalactic Banking Clan, why don't you go to him?" Ni Yongxiao asked.
"We can't ask Hego for help. As long as he interferes, it will only bring negative effects, and those business giants are not very popular." Baron Zemo leaned back on the backrest, "Manager, you said before, what is the purpose of Palpatine?"
"Causing conflicts between Outer Rim Territories, Inner Rim, and Core Worlds, and then provoking civil war within the galaxy." Tang Xiao answered.
"So if you think about it from this aspect, then we may be just one bullet." Zemo said.
"Bullets?" Tang Xiao asked.
"That's right, a bullet aimed at Galactic Republic. Next, he will use the popularity of Claire-Underwood just now on Outer Rim Planets Mutual Aid Fund to make us a model for attacking Galactic Republic." Zemo smiled coldly.
"How?"
"Just let the motion expire. Then he will go to Francis and tell him that he has tried his best to find support, but was blocked by business giants such as Trade Federation during the voting process, and ended up missing a few votes. Then, based on Francis's reaction, he will have two choices." Baron Zemo continued.
"First, if Francis listens to him and goes to the media to complain, then Palpatine's goal will be achieved - a planet full of vitality is shut out by business giants. What can be more ironic than this? Galactic Republic? Secondly, even if Francis did not go to make trouble but went home quietly, he could still promote this matter by himself and lead the people to make their own guesses and point the finger at Galactic Republic."
"It's a very smart strategy. He constantly takes advantage of every opportunity to put himself in the spotlight. In fact, his approach is exactly the same as Francis-Underwood." Ni Yongxiao shook his head.
Tang Xiao said in a deep voice, "I think Frank will find a third option. So is there any way we can cooperate?"
Zemo said directly, "Let's cool down this matter. We issued a statement stating that we will focus our main energy on the national economy and people's livelihood. Even if we do not have a seat as a member of the parliament, we will support Galactic Republic in various ways."
"Okay." Tang Xiao nodded, and then said to Mainframe, "Mainframe, inform Administrative Department and prepare a statement for me immediately. Inform Dawn Channel, I will issue this statement tomorrow."
"Since I am your assistant, shouldn't I be the one to draft this statement?" Ni Yongxiao suddenly smiled and asked.
"Want to be lazy? That's not possible. I have more important things for you to do." Tang Xiao laughed.
However, at this moment, Mainframe suddenly sent him a message through the chip implanted in his brain. Tang Xiao's face turned from clear to dark in an instant. He originally wanted to stand up and leave the meeting, but now he froze in place.
Ni Yongxiao immediately realized something was wrong, "What happened? Manager."
"The smuggling transport ship we sent to Cerea was robbed and a batch of weapons and ammunition was lost." Tang Xiao looked gloomy.
"Since we are running the weapons smuggling route, it is normal for us to be hacked." Ni Yongxiao said.
"The problem is that the person who robbed our ship is Black Sun." Tang Xiao said.
"Oh? Black Sun. They finally couldn't hold it any longer." Ni Yongxiao touched his chin.
Tang Xiao sat down again and said to Ni Yongxiao, "Leave this matter to you. I will allocate you one Revenge-class light destroyer and 12 Hammer-class light frigate. Don't have a head-on conflict with Black Sun. Find out their purpose."
"Okay." Ni Yongxiao responded, stood up and prepared to leave.
"That's right." Tang Xiao stopped him again, "Cerea's situation has changed. This planet may be on the verge of civil war. Yuri-Orlov is selling weapons over there. He also needs our cooperation, but at this moment, we must not expose our identity as an arms exporting country!"
"No problem, do you need me to go to Cerea in person?" Ni Yongxiao asked.
"Not in the past few days, at least until the storm caused by Palpatine subsides." Tang Xiao shook his head and answered.
Compared with the invisible swords and guns of Coruscant and Dawn Star Planet, Tatooine has been fighting with real swords and guns for a lot of time.
After Hutt Gaddula received the support of Black Sun, it once saw hope of revival, but it was quickly defeated by the power of Jabba.
Jabba directly sold a huge bounty of 100 million Galactic credits on Gaddula's head. Under this crazy bounty, countless bounty Hunter swarmed in. In order to compete for this huge sum of money, there were even frequent fights within the bounty Hunter.
