1359. Mand'alor political turmoil
At the same time that Mandalore's referendum started, Count Dooku connected to Tang Xiao's communication.
He looked solemn on the other end of the communication. It was obvious that Count Dooku, who had been in the political arena for a long time and was scheming, could not have imagined that this matter was a trap from the beginning to the end.
Similarly, Tang Xiao's face is also very ugly.
Even if neither Count Dooku nor Tang Xiao knows what is happening on Mandalore, it does not prevent them from instantly understanding the huge conspiracy hidden behind the drastic changes in Mandalore.
On the surface, Mandalore wanted to join Confederacy of Independent Systems in a referendum, but in fact, they did not notify Confederacy of Independent Systems in advance at all, and Mandalore's location is simply beyond the reach of Confederacy of Independent Systems. It is impossible for any fleet of them to pass by.
What's more, even if they can really send a fleet there, can they?
The current situation in the galaxy, countless races and countless planets in the entire galaxy are watching the warring parties. Maybe they are joining one party now due to certain reasons and interests, but it does not mean that they will not join the other party when the conditions are right.
Therefore, both sides actually want to lose face.
To put it bluntly, it means not only fighting, but also constantly performing political shows, and at the same time constantly discrediting the other side.
Therefore, Mandalore's sudden referendum, although it claims to join Confederacy of Independent Systems, is actually of no use to Confederacy of Independent Systems, and it has a negative impact!
First, Mandalore is the leader of the Neutral Alliance, and more than 1,500 galaxies follow them to become neutral. This is a huge force, and even Galactic Republic dare not touch them easily. Because if these galaxies are disturbed and they cause trouble, it will definitely lead to a terrible political accident.
Let me emphasize again that during the Galactic Republic period, Galactic Republic was reasonable. What's the point? That is the principle of parliament, the principle of democracy. Perhaps in essence, the most powerful and wealthy planet still has the greatest say, but even they need to take into account the ideas of those planets without money and power. Of course, the premise is that it does not affect their core interests, but these poor planets generally cannot encounter this, so only those rich and powerful planets will play this democratic game with them.
Therefore, once 1,500 neutral galaxies cause trouble in the parliament of Galactic Republic, it is possible for the speaker Sheev-Palpatine to step down.
Therefore, in the Galactic Republic period, the correct rules of the game should be - first of all, I respect the position of you neutral planets, and then on this basis, I will do whatever I want to you. For example, if you secretly manipulate your transportation, trade, etc., to make you and Zhongli feel uncomfortable, that's right.
Look at now. Mandalore suddenly announced that it would hold a referendum to leave Galactic Republic and join Confederacy of Independent Systems. Then the result of this matter will inevitably lead to war - whether it is necessary to declare war on Galactic Republic after joining Confederacy of Independent Systems, or whether Galactic Republic takes the initiative to launch an attack.
In this case, it is impossible for you Confederacy of Independent Systems to say that you did not do any tricks behind your back! So the thing becomes, you Confederacy of Independent Systems ran over and teased other people's neutral star systems, trying to drag them into the quagmire of war!
This is great fun. Once this is done, Confederacy of Independent Systems's political image will definitely plummet, and even some fence-sitters or unsteady galaxies will immediately go to Galactic Republic's side.
Second, if the referendum to join Mandalore was successful, then they announced to join Confederacy of Independent Systems. Well, what do you Confederacy of Independent Systems do? People are throwing themselves into their arms, don't you express your gratitude? Republic Fleet is definitely on the way, but where are your Confederacy of Independent Systems reinforcements? If you don't give reinforcements, what will others think? I join you, but you watch me die? It doesn't make sense!
But here's the problem, how do you send reinforcements? There's no way we can send him there!
But others will also say, if you can't send reinforcements, why are you going to tease them? Make someone horny and horny, only to find out that you don't have this ability when you take off your pants as soon as you enter the hotel?
So Count Dooku chatted with Tang Xiao, mainly asking Tang Xiao if he knew what happened to Mandalore. Count Dooku always feels that if there is any big move in this galaxy that is not done by himself, then it must be done by Tang Xiao.
This has a lot of history. Anyway, it happened several times before, and every time it was Dawn Star Planet.
But this time, Tang Xiao was really unjust. He himself was confused and had no idea what happened to Mandalore. And he won't tell Count Dooku. Although he doesn't know what happened to Mandalore, he is sure that it was Darth-Tenebrus who did it.
Now it is best not to let Count Dooku know about the existence of Das-Tenebrus. In other words, Count Dooku can know, but Tang Xiao cannot tell him.
So Tang Xiao told Count Dooku in a very 'the Force' style tone that he felt that behind Mandalore, other darkness was awakening. Mandalore might be just the beginning, and he must be wary of that direction.
And he told Count Dooku that he had sent Jango-Fett and several other capable men to Mandalore, asking them to stop anything happening on the planet no matter what. But so far, there is still no news coming back from there.
Count Dooku doubtfully closed the communication and walked away.
Soon, Confederacy of Independent Systems issued a public statement, saying that Confederacy of Independent Systems did not know about and was unwilling to see Mandalore's referendum. Confederacy of Independent Systems absolutely respects and supports the neutral stance of Mandalore and Neutral Systems Alliance, and will never engage in any behavior that violates the laws of neutrality in the neutral galaxy.
Count Dooku also gave a speech in person. He called on Mandalore Grand Duke Satine-Kryze to stay rational in this situation, stop the referendum, continue his neutral position, and let Neutral Systems Alliance become the last piece of pure land in this war-torn galaxy.
This was said very beautifully and gave Neutral Alliance a thumbs up.
Then he pointed the finger at Galactic Republic and threw dirty water directly on Galactic Republic's face, saying that Galactic Republic was actually behind this referendum, and actually wanted to create an excuse for the armed occupation of Mandalore.
He also said that whoever's fleet arrives at Mandalore first will be the mastermind behind this referendum!
And this sentence is extremely powerful and heart-wrenching, fully reflecting the political methods and political vision of Count Dooku, an old political fox.
He went to discuss with Tang Xiao, not to discuss countermeasures, but just to understand the situation and determine what happened to Mandalore.
In fact, in terms of politics, the current Tang Xiao is far less sophisticated than Count Dooku.
As for Galactic Republic, they will never stop. Second Systems Army The main fleet is already on the way, and it will never stop!
