98. Mastering the Future

“Because this is my true idea. I won’t try to convince you, because I don’t think I can do it. But I can Put the interests in front of you and let you make a choice." Tang Xiao stood up, walked behind Francis' sofa, and pressed the back of the sofa, "Francis Underwood, you. What you want is power and the pleasure of standing at the top of the food chain, so I will give you this."

"I have to remind you, Mr. Manager, that we are only a colony with a population of more than 10,000. There is a mothership. As far as I know, even the first empire in our history had a population of at least one million, so are you sure you are not kidding?"

"In that case, I I want to ask, why did you accept the awakening? ”

"I said, I saw a bigger stage, and it is also a stage that allows me to get more. Maybe I will be more straightforward, but this stage is not necessarily here. The Galactic Republic, how majestic it is Even if the gorgeous appearance of this building is full of termites and borers, this is where we play, isn't it? "

"For example, Hego-Damask II? "

"He is a man of high authority, and the gain or loss of a planet will not even make him blink. At the same time, he is also your master, right? He is a dangerous person, but I I agree with your judgment, he will also bring endless opportunities, but to be his disciple..." Francis shook his head, "You are equivalent to shackling yourself into a cage that you have no ability to break out of. Among them."

"So, you don't think much of me."

"You are too young to be a manager, and you lack experience. Confront those who have been immersed in politics all their lives. I am very optimistic about your future, but it may be difficult for me to see this future.”

"That's why I need your help."

"But can you really give me what I want?"

"Imperial Chancellor, this is something you can't get anywhere in this galaxy. The status and power in the entire galaxy, only I can give it to you."

"We are having a very serious conversation, manager, and I feel that now is not the time to talk about this joke." Francis Weiwei. Smiling, "After all, anyone can give me such a promise, even a beggar on the overpass, right?"

For this reason, even without using the Force, Tang Xiao was already sure Francis began to feel a little angry.

Tang Xiao stood up, walked to the window, looked at the vast galaxy, and said slowly: "This is no joke, Francis. Because the future of the entire galaxy is under my control."

He raised one hand and reached out to the stars outside the window, as if he wanted to grasp the infinite stars in his hands.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, manager." Francis Underwood frowned. He also noticed that there was something in Tang Xiao's words, which seemed not to be simple.

Tang Xiao turned around and looked at Francis, "I can see the future of this galaxy. I have already seen everything. Now we have complete technology, 650,000 hibernating elites, and... There are 5 billion frozen embryos. These are the foundation for us to create our own world in this known future. "The future of the galaxy?"

Tang Xiao started directly: "In three years, to be precise, two years and eight months later, a war will break out on the planet Naboo. The Trade Federation will use the excuse of tax disputes to brazenly send troops to surround the planet Naboo and cut off all external contacts. The Galactic Republic Parliament was unable to resolve this dispute, which eventually led to the resignation of the current Speaker Finis Valorum, and Senator Sheev Palpatine became the new Speaker of the Republic."

Francis just looked at Don. Xiao, did not speak.

"Then under the leadership of Palpatine, the Galactic Republic moved step by step towards war. And 10 years after the Battle of Naboo, the galaxy was divided into two, and a civil war broke out on an unprecedented scale." Tang Xiao said slowly, "This is our opportunity."

He walked over again and looked down at Francis sitting on the sofa, his eyes burning, "I will promise you, fourth The economic, industrial, and military strength of civilization will grow stronger step by step until it is strong enough to participate in this war. This is my job, and you, my Prime Minister, I need you to go to Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, to fight for us. Only if we cooperate with each other will the Fourth Civilization have a chance to become...the Fourth Empire on the ruins of the Galactic Republic!"

"I remember I didn't promise you that! Please, Mr. Administrator," Francis Underwood said with a smile.

"No, you will agree. Because I have seen your thoughts, my Prime Minister." An imperceptible red flashed in Tang Xiao's eyes, "I wonder if you are satisfied with me in this interview?" < br>
“Can you tell that I’m testing you?” Francis looked at Tang Xiao with interest.

"This galaxy is different from before, but it also gives me the opportunity to go further, Francis. Become my right-hand man, and then become the Prime Minister of the Empire!" Tang Xiao stretched out his hand and said.

Francis stood up and reached out to hold Tang Xiao's hand, "I agree to your request, Mr. Manager. But this does not mean that I will agree with that...'Empire Prime Minister' Because I still don’t see any possibility of realization, and personally, I really hate this kind of fake and empty pie.”

Then he turned around. Huantou said: "But I decided to exercise my responsibility, which is why I boarded the mothership - I will help you, for now. And I also hope that our fourth civilization can move forward step by step under your leadership. Rise.”

Tang Xiao nodded, sat down in front of Francis, and said word for word: "What I want to say next is related to your future course of action, and your actions are related to every step of the fourth civilization. Action. But you have to understand that I will only say these words once, and only the two of us will know them, and they will not form any written document."
Francis nodded, "Just say it."

"It is now the Galactic Republic Era 25018, but I will mark the year in another way. This year is 35BBY, and it is September. The Galactic Republic is ruled by the Galactic Parliament, and the supreme leader is the Speaker. The Speaker will Subject to many restrictions, this is a very typical democratic system. At the same time, there is another group of guardians in the Galactic Republic-the Jedi Order. They have a transcendent status. Although they have no political positions, they can intervene in every evil they deem. matters, and because of their status, officials at all levels must facilitate their actions."

"Then the most important thing, the current Speaker of the Galactic Republic, Finis Valorum, will soon. Losing control of the situation. Under a series of conspiracies, in 32 BBY, more than 2 years later, the Trade Federation would block the planet Naboo on the pretext of tax issues. In fact, it was also putting pressure on the Republic, which led to the Battle of Naboo. The outbreak..." Tang Xiao told him bit by bit what he knew about the plot during this period of time.
