2511. Freedom, still freedom
Jin Hao strolled into a suburban manor of Dawn Star Planet. This manor was not big, but it planted many crops, and it was cultivated using the most common and primitive soil farming methods.
In the field, several agricultural robots are watering the crops and using ultraviolet lights to stimulate crop growth.
When I arrived at the house, I saw an old man sitting on a lounge chair at the door, holding a mini terminal in his hand and browsing the news of the day.
In the kitchen of the house, there was a sound of stir-frying.
"I always thought that even if you want to plant something, you should choose expensive flowers and plants, Francis." Jin Hao walked over with a smile.
The people sitting on the recliner are clearly Kingdom of Dawn former Prime Minister, Francis-Underwood.
He pushed up his glasses, looked at Jin Hao, and said calmly, "No matter how precious the flowers and plants are, if they can't be eaten, they are meaningless."
Jin Hao walked over carelessly, dragged a low table from the side, and sat directly on it, "Then you can also create a brand, such as... Premier brand apple pie, how about it?"
"Well, I have a big appetite, so I probably won't be able to sell much." Francis-Underwood smiled, "Why, where did you get the interest to come over and see me, a has-been old man, today?"
"I remembered that I drank a lot of red wine from you before, so I came here to return a bottle to you today." Jin Hao took out a bottle of red wine from his back like a magic trick and threw it into Francis's hands casually.
Francis looked at the label, smiled and said, "Good wine."
At this time, the door opened, and an old woman came out carrying a hot plate, "Come and try... Oh, Mr. Jin. By chance, you can eat my apple pie again."
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Jin Hao smiled slightly and followed Claire-Underwood unceremoniously into the house.
After drinking and eating, Claire packed up the dishes and tableware and returned to the kitchen, leaving the entire living room to Francis and Jin Hao.
"Old Xu is dead." Jin Hao said calmly.
"I know." Francis smiled slightly.
"Xu Deng inherits United Mining Group."
"It's both unexpected and not surprising."
"What are you surprised about? What are you not surprised about?"
"Hehehehe... But if you want to imitate Old Xu, then I don't recommend it." Francis laughed, "Xu Deng is a special case and cannot be copied. And I heard that Kingdom of Dawn Commerce Department's side is actually quite critical."
"You should understand that I'm not here to seek advice." Jin Hao said calmly.
Francis put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "You know, there are rules in this world. Even Galactic Empire has their own rules, but their rules are very inefficient and cumbersome. Kingdom of Dawn naturally has its own rules, and it is obvious that Tang Xiao does not like to see the concept of Noble House in Kingdom of Dawn."
"I have worked hard all my life to create this. Do I have to hand it over to others?" Jin Hao frowned.
"These are the rules." Francis said, "Either you follow it, or you make it, or... you break it. Of course, there is another kind of people in this universe, and they don't need rules. Because they alone can easily kill all of us. Such people are the rules themselves. Unfortunately, you are not such a person..."
"I'm not here for advice." Jin Hao said again.
Francis-Underwood smiled, stood up, and shouted to Claire in the kitchen, "Claire! Do you still have the posters from when you were a mutual aid foundation?"
"In the cabinet on your left!" Claire replied loudly.
Francis walked over and took out a poster with many Outer Rim Territories races and a circular logo on it. This was the former Outer Rim Territories Mutual Aid Fund, and it was also the first appearance of Fourth Civilization on Galactic political stage. This is also due to the mediation and efforts of Claire-Underwood back then. With this, she was once in the high position of Confederacy of Independent Systems Head of the Administrative Department.
He handed the poster to Jin Hao meaningfully, "You should know what happened to the Mutual Aid Foundation back then."
Jin Hao's brows furrowed. Naturally, he could immediately guess the meaning of the poster that Francis gave him. In fact, it was very simple. It could be summed up in two words - freedom.
Outer Rim Territories Mutual Aid Fund was considered to be part of Separatist Movement, and was also one of the targets later recruited by Count Dooku. Now, of course, it is clear what it means to bring up the old news of this foundation that has disappeared for decades.
Over there Francis-Underwood had already walked to the door again in a flash, sat down comfortably on the recliner, and said slowly, "If you have any questions, go find the Mutual Aid Foundation."
Jin Hao unfolded the poster, and there were two words on it that were not obvious - leader.
At the same time, on the other side of the planet, Kingdom of Dawn High Command.
"According to the information received by the Military Intelligence Department, there may be civil strife within Tagge Company within the Galactic Empire. Tagge family's predecessor, patriarch Sanya-Tagge, decided to join us, but hopes to get our support." Chief of Staff Qi Jian picked up a piece of information and said.
"Tagge family? Tepasi?" Ling Liang shook his head and said, "That place is too far away. It is impossible for us to interfere in the core area of the Galactic Empire."
"Sanya-Tagge's request is that we put enough pressure on the Galactic Empire at the border, and at the same time, let General C return to the family." Qi Jian said.
Hearing the name Sanya-Tagge, Adele-Ulan, who was sitting on the throne accompanying his daughter and also the regent of Kingdom of Dawn, had an expression on his face. After a moment of silence, she said coldly, "Sanya-Tagge These words are completely treating military affairs as a child's play! Now we cannot risk launching an attack, which will once again put our precious fleet in a dangerous situation where we are outnumbered!"
But deep down in her heart, she is deeply hostile to Sanya-Tagge. A woman's intuition made her very wary of this woman who climbed into her husband Tang Xiao's bed without knowing how.
Therefore, no matter what request Sanya-Tagge makes, she must stop it. She continued, "In addition General C, which is Cassio-Tagge. He has officially served in our Kingdom of Dawn Navy and knows a lot of our military secrets. Once he returns to the Galactic Empire, it will be a very serious leak!"
Commander of the Navy Matt-Hona also said, "We have just invested a fleet in Tarassia, which makes Galactic Empire highly alert to us. I agree with Madam Ulan, because the Empire still has heavy troops on the border. If we take the initiative to launch an attack, it will lead to more unnecessary sacrifices."
"But Tag Company is one of the largest super corporations in the Galactic Empire. If we miss this opportunity and let Sonya Tag die in vain during the internal struggle, then we will also miss a good opportunity to weaken the Galactic Empire." Helmut Zemo said.
He raised his eyes and stared at Adele-Ulan, and said with a smile, "Back then, His Majesty Tang Xiao decisively decided to take over Rendili StarDrive, and was willing to take huge risks to send a fleet to reinforce Rendili Planet. Only then did Rendili StarDrive abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. Now, we should face the difficulties head on."
"The situation back then was completely different from now! The eight hundred billion people of Rendili StarDrive and Rendili Planet are all devoted to the dawn. They share the same hatred and fight against the enemy. But what about Tagge family? How much loyalty can you expect from a family that killed its mother and brother because of the struggle for power?" Adele-Ulan asked coldly.
Sanya-Tagge died? That's great! Better let her die a few more times!
Helmut-Zemo thought for a while and said, "The risk does exist, and I agree not to conduct large-scale military operations on the border for the time being. But we should not do anything about Tagge family either It's time to sit back and ignore it. As for Cassio-Tagge, even if we agree to send him to Tepasi, how to get there is still a big problem. I suggest we continue to study this matter..."
"This is all we can do now. Reply to Sanya-Tagge. We need a clearer plan before we can act." Ling Liang said.
"Hahahahaha! I'm talking about you people, the master is not here, you are timid one by one, and in the end you can't do anything." Suddenly, a burst of arrogant laughter came to mind in the venue, which was sweet but evil. Everyone looked at the sound, only to find that it was Darth-Lilim!
This meeting was supposed to be attended by Priestess, the leader of Twilight Covenant, but she did not come today, and she did not even participate remotely. The person who came to take the place of the meeting was Das-Lilim.
However, everyone present was generally used to Twilight Covenant being silent on such military matters, so they did not expect to be interrupted like this by her.
"Miss Lilim, if you have any opinion, please just say it directly." Qi Jian said with a frown.
Das-Lilim sat casually on the conference table, even raising her slender legs. She pulled the string of crystals behind her head and played with them, saying, "You don't want to move the fleet, that's okay. However, there are obviously Isn't it a waste to leave billions of soldiers unused? Moreover... things are not what you think. Do you know who the master arranged to be with Sanya-Tagge?"
"It's Dream Sisters." Qi Jian said, "But they are alone there..."
"Where did we get the billions of troops?" Ling Liang was a little strange.
"Those two dreamy girls are capable of more things than you think. Maybe now the entire Tagge family has been completely lost in the illusion. They don't know what reality is and what illusion is... And at this time, all they need to do is add a little fire, hehehehe..." Das-Lilim smiled charmingly.
"How to add fire?" Qi Jian asked again.
"I caught a very interesting toy at Fondor Planet, haha..."
"Grand Inquisitor Hydra?" Ling Liang nodded, "Did she speak?"
Das-Lilim licked his scarlet lips, "She can open far more than just her mouth... I can only say that she is really fun, and I still can't stop... Ah, if this monster Alexia doesn't cause trouble, I can continue to play. In short, we have a lot of information about Imperial Inquisitorius... It's time to give them a fatal blow..."
"Is this the reason why Your Excellency Priestess didn't come over? Indeed, if we don't use the fleet, it can cause huge damage to Imperial Inquisitorius and attract the Empire's attention to achieve our goal." Ling Liang said, "But I am still curious, what is the army you are talking about?"
Das-Lilim showed a cruel smile and uttered two short words, "Taris, Lower City..."
"You mean those Rakghoul that mutated from Muur Talisman thousands of years ago? Those things are simply uncontrollable!" Qi Jian said.
"Why, do you want to make them controllable? Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe" said Das-Lilim with a sweet smile.
"Asshole! Do you want to put Rakghoul everywhere and make innocent people lose their lives?" Commander of the Navy Matt-Hona was furious and started fighting.
"Hehehe...Marshal Horner, he is a good person as always." Das-Lilim mocked.
"I think it's feasible." Helmut-Zemo said in a deep voice, "When Galactic Empire built Death Star, did they consider the issue of civilians? When Death Star was built and fired on our planet, do you think the Empire would give us time to evacuate civilians? No, they would have used whatever means necessary."
"The Empire does this, but it doesn't mean that we have to be as despicable and shameless as the Empire! We want to become the kings who rule the entire galaxy! Only in this way, after defeating Galactic Empire, can we occupy the commanding heights in the divided galaxy!" Matt-Hona said.
"First of all, you need to defeat Galactic Empire." Das-Lilim said.
"Twilight Covenant wants to attack Imperial Inquisitorius, which is good. But I object to releasing Rakghoul from Taris to Lower City." Adele-Ulan said coldly.
"I agree." A slightly childish voice said suddenly.
Adele-Ulan turned around in surprise and looked at the person who spoke - Tang Yun, the daughter of Tang Xiao, the real regent of Kingdom of Dawn.
"If Rakghoul is released from Planet Taras, Galactic Empire will feel uncomfortable, right? Why not do something that makes the enemy uncomfortable?" Tang Yun's eyes actually shone with excitement. She seemed very excited about this decision, which could lead to the death of tens of billions of people, and even looked forward to it.
"Hahahahaha! This is what the master's daughter should look like... Hahahaha!" Das-Lilim laughed.
