Chapter 132 Political Game
130. Political Game
Forming a cabinet is a very critical matter, and Tang Xiao can be said to have used all the resources he could use. After careful selection of candidates, he finally selected his chief think tank after a long discussion.
That is also a legendary figure - yes, Tang Xiao awakened two legendary figures in succession in order to form a cabinet.
Besides Ni Yongxiao, there is another person. Compared with Francis Underwood, he is not suitable for working in the political arena, but his IQ and his planning can be said to be rarely matched by Tang Xiao in film and television works.
Moreover, this person is not the type like Luther and Mengsk who have to worry about being bitten at any time after awakening, so it is more secure to use.
He has a very strategic mind, is good at grasping the key to the problem, and uses small and broad ideas to achieve impossible goals.
If I want to use a metaphor, it is that he once moved a building with a matchstick!
He is just a mortal, but he once relied on his own plans to cause the extremely powerful superheroes to collapse and split!
He will be another disaster that Tang Xiao brings to this galaxy...
Tang Xiao believes that if this person becomes his chief think tank, he will have greater confidence in the future struggle -
Baron Helmut Zemo (movie version)!
The man who single-handedly subverted the Avengers!
......
"Chief Minister of the Cabinet? A somewhat strange position title, but it can be regarded as the first step to fulfill the promise." Francis Underwood held the hand He threw the documents aside, picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.
Claire Underwood picked up the document and looked at it, "Actually, what I'm more concerned about is, who are this Helmut Zemo and Ni Yongxiao? Why were they directly entrusted with important tasks and joined the newly established Cabinet?”
“That’s not the point, Claire.” Francis said with a smile.
"So what do you think the key is?" Claire dropped the documents and came to the closet. She naturally took off her coat in front of Francis and began to take out the dresses in the closet. Try it on.
"Location, location, location." Francis stood up, stood by the window, opened the window, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the windowsill, lit it for himself, and took a deep breath Take a puff, and then blow the smoke out the window, "As I have emphasized countless times, power is like real estate, location determines value. The closer you are to the core, the higher your value."
" So does the position of chief minister of the cabinet mean that we are closer to the core?" Claire took out a red dress for comparison, shook her head and put it down, then picked up a black one.
"On the contrary, it's further." Francis had finished smoking a cigarette, put out the cigarette butt, crossed his arms and said slowly: "In this cabinet, Chi Jianjun is in charge of scientific research, and his position cannot be shaken. Ni Yongxiao is Tang Xiao's assistant and is responsible for handling his daily affairs. Helmut Zemo is Tang Xiao's chief think tank. There is no doubt that Tang Xiao will discuss many daily matters with them. So, in name only, I will. I am the chief minister of the cabinet, but I can't actually influence any cabinet member."
Claire stiffened as she changed her clothes, and her voice trembled, "You are saying that the managers are alienating us. ?”
“He asked me to be the chief minister of the cabinet, even if it is just in name, but at least it means that he has not forgotten his previous promise.” Francis smiled easily. Laughing, "Ah, by the way, I think that red dress just now is very good."
"Tomorrow I will attend a meeting of the Outer Planets Mutual Aid Fund of the Milky Way. I want to be a weak person between For the organization of the group, I should behave more plainly, such as solemn black." Claire frowned.
“This mutual fund is not important. What is important is the influence you gain from it. Do you understand? Choosing red represents your enthusiasm. Let everyone focus on you. This is Our purpose," Francis said.
Claire picked up the red dress again and smiled, "Then red. By the way, will you go tomorrow?" "I won't go, I have other things to do." Francis shook his head. shook his head.
“Speaking of which, Tuunbach-Tula, the councilor of Planet Semels, suddenly expressed his support for this mutual aid fund.” Claire said.
"Planet Semels is a planet with very developed industries in the outer ring. With their support, your mutual aid fund will definitely have a stronger influence." Francis said with a smile. .
“You did this?”
"Just a little seasoning."
......
The next day, a luxury hotel on the surface of Coruscant.
Countless high-powered Galactic Republic officials and planetary councilors gathered here, and waiters shuttled among them, serving delicious food to these people.
They gathered together in twos and threes, exchanging topics that might affect the fate of a planet in just one or two sentences.
Claire Underwood, wearing a red dress, stood on the stage, smiling at the officials and planet representatives below, and said, "Let us pay more attention to the planets in the outer rings of the Milky Way! While we are enjoying a prosperous life, we should Understand, there are still people on backward planets who are starving! Some planets can't even send their representatives to Coruscant to make their voices heard!"
"...Let's unite! The Republic cannot solve the problem of food and clothing for the backward planets in the outer ring, so we can only solve it ourselves!"
"...The planet Rodia is willing to join the Outer Ring Planet Mutual Aid Fund!"
"...Planet Jabim is willing to join the mutual aid fund!"
"...Planet Semels is willing to join and can provide a group of robots to help the outer-ring planets in need of production work."

Some planetary councilors also expressed their opinions and made donations, and the atmosphere became heated.
In a remote corner, a tall, energetic old man was standing there, holding a glass of expensive champagne in his hand and taking an elegant sip.
After finishing her speech, Claire Underwood chatted for a few words with Thumbak Tula, a member of the planet Semels who was wearing gorgeous clothes. Then she spotted the old man and said goodbye to Tula. , came over.
"Master Dooku, it is an honor for you to participate in this event. I noticed that you also donated 5 million credits to our fund, and I would like to express my highest respect to you on behalf of the impoverished planets of the Outer Rim. "You changed our perception of the Jedi," Claire said with a smile.
