727, To the Emperor of the Empire
"Fight? So you came home on vacation because of the fight?" Francis asked in return.
"Well, at yesterday's parliamentary meeting, member Suluustians wanted to beat up Chairman Shu Mai of Merchant Guilds, and then a scuffle broke out. In short, more than 30 members participated in the fight, so I took the opportunity to go home on vacation." Claire-Underwood said.
"For what?"
"Republic 18th Army is besieging Suluust. Merchant Guilds is unwilling to send additional troops for reinforcements. The reason is that they have already lost too many fleets at the 18th Army."
"Sounds like this is our chance."
"Why, someone beat you up as the Prime Minister, and you're still so worried about national affairs?"
Francis-Underwood touched the bruise on his neck, with a complicated expression on his face, "Tang Xiao."
"He actually choked you? Frank, what kind of fight did you get into? I can imagine you fighting in a ball and choking each other's necks." Claire-Underwood is a little strange.
"Thirteen years ago, when he asked me to Mountain Gang help him, he was just a young boy. He told me a lot and promised me a lot..." Francis took the wine glass from Claire's hand and drank it himself Taking a sip, "I can feel that he is very jealous of me, even a little scared. Of course, he has to be afraid, because what he is about to let me go to is a stage that is much larger than Dawn Star Planet - Galactic Republic, Republic Senate Building."
He put down his wine glass and breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as I have any other thoughts and move my mouth inside Republic Senate, maybe Dawn Star Planet will fall into a place of eternal destruction. His childish performances at that time still seem to be vivid in my mind."
"He is different now. At least, he dares to hit you." Claire smiled.
"Hit me? You rarely see Dawn Star Planet now. You don't know him for a long time. Now he..." Francis's eyes became deep, "I just signed a decree, Kessel, because it is involved in a leak on Krant Planet, we will use necessary means to find out the real culprit in a short time, and we are allowed to bear any necessary losses on the premise of ensuring that the real culprit is killed."
Claire took a brief taste, and his expression suddenly became fierce, "This is simply a massacre order!! Tang Xiao Why did he let you sign it! He gave this kind of order, so he should be allowed to bear the infamy! Is this why you fought with him? If I were here, I swear I would hold a wine bottle and blow it on his head!"
"That's why, Claire, he is no longer what he used to be. Now, every one of us, yes, every one of Fourth Civilization, must continue to move forward with him, towards the foggy and fresh place. The road ahead is blood, fire and steel. "Francis said, "I signed this order voluntarily. By the way, he didn't fight with me. He was at Nal Hutta Planet, he just sent me a message."
"This... could he be Jedi Knight?" Claire was shocked.
A smile appeared on the corner of Francis-Underwood's mouth, "The promise he made to me is Imperial Chancellor. This step is still far away. I am waiting for the day when he will fulfill his promise. No, it should be said that I believe more than ever that he can fulfill this promise."
He raised his glass and greeted out the window, "To the Emperor of the Empire."
After speaking, he drank most of the glass of wine in one gulp.
Outer Rim of the galaxy, Kessel.
This planet once held more than 10,000 prisoners and more than 10,000 staff on it. Later, the prisoners rebelled, killed all the prison guards, and gained autonomy. After that, it became a smuggler's Homeworld.
Up to now, there are more than 40,000 people living on this planet, most of whom are engaged in smuggling, bounty Hunter or mercenary work.
The hyperspace channels here are so intricate that many people call them hell. Being able to fly the spacecraft smoothly through Kosher hyperspace lane can be said to be the highest Honor for a spaceship pilot.
This is just like the old Sichuan–Tibet Highway back then. Drivers who can complete this route can drive on all roads in the world after they come out.
However, such a channel is not worth mentioning to the powerful Force-sensitive.
With a flash of white light, a black Hammerhead-class cruiser and four Grey Horse-class escort carrier left hyperspace and appeared outside Kessel!
Without any greeting, Grey Horse-class escort carrier's Hangar Platform unfolded, and hundreds of half-moon-shaped Hiigaran stealth fighters rushed out, flying directly to every spacecraft sailing around the planet, and then opened fire without warning!
Hiigaran stealth fighters have entered a state of invisibility, and those spaceships modified from cargo ships and civilian ships cannot even see their enemies!
This is a one-sided massacre!
Then hundreds of Wraith fighter took off, rushed directly into the planet's atmosphere, and launched an inhumane bombing of the residential areas on the planet's surface!
The pilots didn't care whether the thing that appeared on Fire Control Radar was a residential building or a military camp. They only received one order——
Shoot at every moving target and any place where the target may be hidden!
Whoosh~~~~Whoosh~~~~~ A formation of Wraith fighter passed by at ultra-low altitude and high speed. In the invisible state, everyone could only see a distortion of the air and the sound of strong winds being stirred up around them.
Immediately afterwards, dense Pulse Lasers fell from the sky, hitting the ground and setting off a series of small explosions of Company Ones, and then cluster rockets were launched!
boom! boom! boom! boom!! A simple house built later burned in the explosion and then collapsed. Countless screams and calls for help came from the ruins.
There are adults and children, men and women, old people, and the wounded...
But then the distortion of the air flew over again, and the dense Pulse Laser fired another burst of fire towards the place where these screams came from!
Soon, the scene fell into silence, and there was no sound except the sound of burning flames.
Then, every resident with a communicator in his hand received a public frequency communication at the same time.
[...Someone among you leaked the information on Aereen Planet and Krant Planet to Galactic Republic. If you hand them over, you can live.]
A large number of transport planes flew out and began to land directly at several major settlements on the planet.
[... Maybe you want to ask why you have to suffer this unreasonable disaster. And my answer is that some of you have done things you shouldn't have done and provoked people you shouldn't have provoked.]
A large number of Caladanians, fully armed and wearing Titan Security combat uniforms, filed out of the transport plane.
[... I am, Archangel of Death, the angel of death... the one who brings death. Welcome your death...]
