Chapter 101 The right person
99. The right person
After listening, Francis Underwood took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "In other words, in In your plan, you approached Hei Ge to gain the support of the Interstellar Banking Association, because you knew that in 13 years, a large-scale civil war would break out in the galaxy? "
Tang Xiao did not treat Hei Ge? He told Francis that Ge would die in three years. What he just said was mainly focused on what he knew about the political arena of the Galactic Republic. He nodded and said: "So I must complete the preparations within 13 years, and then achieve sufficient results in that civil war."
"That is, in that independent galaxy that will be independent from the Galactic Republic Confederation, right? Gain enough status in the confederation through war, and then gain a high enough status in the new regime," Francis said.
"The political environment within the Confederacy is equally complicated, or in other words, the participation of many oligarchic companies has made the politics of the Confederacy more corrupt. But this is not what we need to worry about now." Tang Xiao said.
"It seems that you are very sure about all this. Could this be your special ability?" Francis said with great interest, "Since you can predict the future, then you can predict the future." To our future? "
A sharp question, Francis directly discovered that the future that Tang Xiao just mentioned was missing a part - themselves.
"I said, what I saw was one of the futures of this galaxy, but I couldn't see our future. Or..." Tang Xiao smiled brightly, put a teacup on the corner of the table and said : "Just like this teacup, I like it very much, so I plan to keep this teacup for a long time, so I will seal it up and put it in an underground safe without letting anything touch it..."
But he As soon as he finished speaking, he knocked down the tea cup with a wave of his hand.
With a click, the tea cup shattered on the ground.
"But I just decided not to give it this future." Tang Xiao stared into Francis's eyes and said slowly.
"In that case, what is the significance of what you just said about the future of the galaxy?" Francis asked with a smile.
"Wrong question." Tang Xiao answered.
“So what is right?”
"The correct question should be, where can we go... in this future?"
Francis smiled, stood up, and buttoned his suit very seriously. He stretched out his hand to Tang Xiao and said: "I think I can start working, but I must say that the first thing is that if the future you promised does not exist, then..."
He said with a pun.
"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 Stretch out your hand and shake it with Francis.
“Managers, you must know that power is like real estate. The most important thing is always position. The closer your position is to the source, the more valuable you are. So, I guess I will not die so easily. "Francis smiled slightly, "So speaking of it, Sheev Palpatine, the future Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, winner, loser... I can't wait to meet such a person. .”
"If you need help, just ask, I will do my best to satisfy you." Tang Xiao said.
“I need to wake up my wife, Claire Underwood, and my chief of staff, Douglas Stamp,” Francis said. "I will arrange it immediately."
"There is another point, manager. The so-called politics, you can think of it as a chess game. But the chess game requires chess pieces. This chess piece may It may be power, relationships or money. But we don’t have many chess pieces, so at the very least, we need to ensure the supply of money.”
“No. Question, the money of the entire fourth civilization will be ready at any time. In addition, we also have a service team on the 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 smiled and nodded, "Manager."
...
After Francis Underwood left, Tang Xiao Then he breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa, staring at the ceiling without moving. 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 few clicks of his fingers.
But Francis is indeed the most suitable person for the current situation and also very powerful, and just as Tang Xiao expected, he scorns the so-called loyalty of managers. In other words, Tang Xiao can only convince him and gain his loyalty through his own abilities, eloquence, and interests.
This is not an easy task. If Tang Xiao has such eloquence, then he can go to Coruscant to fight with the Confucian scholars and gain sufficient political status for the Fourth Civilization. But he didn't, so Tang Xiao adopted the most direct method - the temptation of interests.
He knew that Francis was hungry for power, so he gave him power, and a position that others could never give him - Imperial Chancellor!
Tang Xiao is serious.
"I really want to take a vacation..." Tang Xiao, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, groaned, leaned on the back of the sofa and said, "Mastermind, send me the exercise plan that Hei Ge left for me. ”
【There is no plan, manager. Mr. Heige just left a target. He requires that you must reduce your body fat rate to 10% and increase your body muscle content to 45% within three months. Are there some other goals that need to be listed? 】
"Fuck! No one has ever told me that training in the Force requires fitness!" Tang Xiao muttered and cursed, but still said to the mastermind: "Please arrange a fitness coach for me. , Well, there should be fitness coaches among the hibernating staff, right?”
[In fact, I recommend letting your bodyguard, the T-850, help you train directly. It has a complete workout program in its database. 】
Tang Xiao turned around and looked at the T-850 with the face of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the standard inverted triangle figure. Although he understands that this is just the appearance of bionic skin, in any case, having Arnold Schwarzenegger personally supervise his fitness is definitely a very touching thing, right?
"Okay, Mastermind, help me adjust my schedule. I need at least 2 to 4 hours of exercise time every day." Tang Xiao said.
【Good manager, your schedule has been adjusted. In addition, Daphne Clement is looking for you, and you need to see some of the things you brought back last time. 】
