Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 99: The Right Person

After listening, Francis Underwood took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "That is to say, in your plan, you approach Hego to gain the support of the Interstellar Banking Clan, because you know In 13 years, there will be a massive civil war in the Galaxy?"

Tang Xiao didn't tell Francis that Hego would die in three years. What he said just now was mainly aimed at what he knew about the Galactic Republic's political arena. He nodded and said: "So I must complete the preparations for the war within 13 years, and then achieve enough results in that civil war."

"That is, in the Confederacy of Independent Systems that will become independent from the Galactic Republic, right? Gain enough status in the confederation through war, and thus gain a high enough status in that new regime." Francis said.

"The political environment within the Confederacy is also complicated, or in other words, because of the participation of many oligarchy companies, the politics of the Confederation is more corrupt. But this is not something we need to worry about now." Tang Xiao said.

"It seems that you are very sure about all of this. Could this be your special ability?" Francis said with great interest, "Since you can predict the future, can you predict our future? "

Straight to the point, Francis directly discovered that the future that Tang Xiao just mentioned was missing a part - themselves.

"I said, what I see is one of the futures of this Galaxy, but I can't see our future. Or..." Tang Xiao smiled sassily, put a teacup on the corner of the table and said, "Just like this teacup, I like it very much, so I am going to keep this teacup for a long time, so I will seal it up and put it in an underground safe so that nothing can touch it..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he knocked down the teacup with a wave of his palm.

With a click, the teacup fell to pieces on the ground.

"But I just decided not to give it this future." Tang Xiao stared into Francis' eyes and said slowly.

"So if that's the case, what's the point of the future of the Galaxy you just said?" Francis asked with a smile.

"Wrong question." Tang Xiao replied.

"Then what is true?"

"The right question should be, where can we go in this future...?"

Francis smiled, stood up, buttoned his suit, and held out his hand to Tang Xiao very solemnly: "I think I can start working, but I must say that if you promise If the future doesn't exist, then..."

He said with a double meaning.

"There is only a thin line between glory and death. What I can see and what we can catch, Frank, that's why I need your help." Tang Xiao replied seriously, he stretched out his hand and Francie Hold tight.

"Supreme Commander, know that power is like real estate. The most important thing is always location. The closer your location is to the source, the more valuable you are. So, I don't think I will die so easily." Francis smiled slightly, "So, then, Sheev Palpatine, the future Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate, the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, the winner, the loser... I can't wait to meet such a person."

"If you need help, just ask, I will do my best to meet it." Tang Xiao said.

"I need to wake up my wife, Claire Underwood, and my Chief of Staff, Douglas Stamper," Francis said.

"I'll arrange it right away."

"There is another point, Supreme Commander. The so-called politics, you can think of it as a chess game. But the chess game needs chess pieces. This chess piece may be power, relationship or money. But we don't have many chess pieces. So at the very least, the supply of money needs to be guaranteed. I think I will often ask you for money."

"No problem, the money of the entire Fourth Civilization will be ready at any time. In addition, we also have a service team on Planet Coruscant. The person in charge is called Rosanna Goodes. You can contact her to help you arrange it."

"Then I have nothing else to do." Francis nodded with a smile, "Supreme Commander."

...

After Francis Underwood left, Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa looking at the ceiling motionless. He only felt a little scared now, not because of how powerful Francis Underwood was, in fact, Tang Xiao could kill him with just a flick of his finger.

But Francis is indeed the most suitable person for the current situation and also very powerful, and just as Tang Xiao expected, he scoffed at the so-called loyalty of the Supreme Commander. That is to say, Tang Xiao can only persuade him through his own ability, eloquence, and interests, so as to gain his loyalty.

This is not an easy task. If Tang Xiao has such eloquence, then he can go to Coruscant to fight against the Confucians and win enough political status for the Fourth Civilization. However, he didn't, so Tang Xiao adopted the most direct method - the temptation of profit.

He knew that Francis longed for power, so he gave him power, and it was a position that no one else could give him-the Prime Minister of The Empire!

Tang Xiao is serious.

"I really want to take a vacation..." Tang Xiao, exhausted physically and mentally, groaned, leaned on the back of the sofa and said, "Master, send me the exercise plan that Hego left for me."

[There is no plan, Supreme Commander. Mr. Hego just left one goal behind. He asked you to reduce the body fat rate to 10% and increase the body muscle content to 45% within three months. There are some other goals here, do you need to list them? ]

"Fuck! No one has ever told me that training The Force requires fitness!" Tang Xiao muttered and cursed, but still said to the Brain: "Help me arrange a fitness trainer, um, the hibernating personnel There should be a fitness trainer inside, right?"

[Actually, I recommend directly asking your bodyguardthe T-850 to help you train. It has a complete exercise program in its database. ]

Tang Xiao turned around and looked at the T-850 with Arnold Schwarzenegger's face and the standard inverted triangle figure. Although he understands that this is just the appearance made by bionic skin but, it is definitely a very interesting thing to let Arnold Schwarzenegger personally supervise his fitness, right?

"Okay, Brain, help me adjust my schedule. I need at least 2 to 4 hours of exercise every day." Tang Xiao said.

[Good Supreme Commander, your schedule has been adjusted. In addition, Daphne Clement is looking for you, and you need to see some things you brought back last time. ]
