Chapter 133 First Meeting
131. First Meeting
Master Dooku nodded slightly and said, "I am very happy to see you so rich in such a decadent Galactic Republic. A dynamic person, very good.”
“Master Dooku cares about the people and is a role model for us.” Claire complimented.
"Are you from the planet Endor?" Master Dooku suddenly changed his subject and asked.
"The planet Endor has now been renamed the planet Dawn. We just completed the registration three days ago." Claire answered.
"The fourth group, refugees from an unknown human planet, eh." Master Dooku was still unsmiling, "I like your speech very much, and I also like the Dawn Planet. I will pay attention to you."< br>
After saying that, he turned around and left directly.
Claire Underwood was left standing there holding a wine glass, looking at his back in deep thought.
Besides the luxury hotel, many reporters also gathered here, shooting the interior of the hotel from various angles. Reporters with a keen sense of smell smelled the explosive smell almost immediately.
After the banquet ended, all the reporters outside the door rushed out like sharks that smelled something fishy.
Most of the congressmen and officials left directly under the protection of bodyguards, and only a few people stayed in place to be interviewed. One of them is Rodia's Congressman Onaconda-Fal. He keeps appealing to reporters, hoping to convey the famine on Rodia through the voice of media public opinion.
Claire Underwood also stayed for the interview, and she seemed to be enjoying it.
"Hello, Ms. Claire, I am a reporter from Galaxy Times. What is the purpose of the Mutual Aid Fund for Planets in the Outer Ring of the Galaxy that you initiated?"
"The Dawn Planet where I am is a In the new colonies established by war refugees, I deeply understand the pain caused by backwardness and poverty. I hope that such pain will become less and less in the galaxy."
"Ms. Claire, Ms. Claire! This is Nebula Radio. Your actions have obviously affected the interests of the Trade Federation. Their recent plan to impose transportation surcharges on the planet Rodia has completely failed. Are you telling me this? Has the Trade Federation declared war? "
"I have no intention of declaring war on anyone. My original intention is purely for peace. I only hope that fewer people will suffer from hunger and poverty. If it is to bring welfare and convenience to the galaxy as they claim, I believe they will understand this approach."
"Ms. Claire! This is the Coruscant Political Network, and we are completely interested in the planet Dawn. It’s unfamiliar. Where is this planet?”
“The planet Dawn was originally called the planet Endor. It is located in the Endor system. We were a colony established by a group of refugees and established it with the local indigenous Ewok people. Through our unremitting efforts, our colony is growing little by little."
"Ms. Claire! Will you push the Dawn Planet to join the Galactic Republic Council?"
"I look forward to this very enthusiastically, but I don't dare to hope for it at this stage. Letting our people have enough to eat and wear warm clothes is still the number one goal of our colony."

【...Where will the future of the Dawn Planet and the Galaxy Outer Planet Mutual Aid Fund go? Let's stay tuned. This is Galactic Republic Nebula Radio, Huey reporting for you. 】
Click, a thin but well-maintained hand stretched out to turn off the holographic projection TV, and a somewhat balding man in his 50s looked out the window and began to think deeply.
Sheev Palpatine, Councilor of the Galactic Republic, planet Naboo. "Planet Dawn...Planet Endor...Model Sector..." He repeated several terms in his mouth, as if trying to find a connection.
Then, he turned on the communicator, and a tall and upright figure appeared in the holographic projection.
Palpatine smiled very politely and said: "Master Dooku, the last time you went to the Model sector, except for the colonial colony of the Endor system, did you find nothing else?"< br>
"Are you also paying attention to this matter? Senator Palpatine." Master Dooku asked.
"If you ask me to describe it, this Galaxy Outer Rim Mutual Aid Fund is like a firefly in the dark. Although the light is weak, it brings us a glimmer of hope." Palpatine replied .
Master Dooku nodded and said: "The bounty hunters I sent to the Model sector did not find anything else. Later, after they found the colonial group in the Endor system, they became malicious and wanted to rob the colonial group. . In the end, he was eliminated by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi."
Palpatine suddenly changed the subject and said: "I wonder if the Jedi Order is. Should we also conduct a census of Force-sensitive people on the Dawn Planet?"
"I don't have much energy to pay attention to the Jedi Order anymore," Dooku said.
“But at least you are still a Jedi Master.”
“You are very concerned about the planet Dawn, Mr. Councilor.”
"Because they are the fresh blood of the Republic and have put forward proposals that interest me very much. Their enthusiasm has made this decadent Galactic Republic bright again."
"So, you want to promote They enter the Galactic Republic Parliament?"
"Why not? I would love to see Ms. Clare's wonderful speech in the Parliament."
"In that case, I will give it to you. I will do my best. I will remind Master Yoda to conduct a census of Force-sensitive people on the Dawn Planet."
Close the communication, Palpatine cursed secretly, "Idiot! Is it possible that you sent a few bounty hunters to detect the disturbance? And it was preempted by the Jedi Order, but the Jedi Order probably didn’t find anything..."
He shook his head, then pressed the button on the table and said to the other side: "Please come in, Mr. Francis."
After a moment, the office door slid open silently, Francis - Underwood walked in.
The smile on Palpatine's face became extremely kind. He walked up and took Francis's hand with both hands and said: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Francis. I just I was watching Ms. Clare's speech, and I was impressed by her eloquence."
Francis also responded with a smile: "Mr. Congressman, I am also reading your work, which is a step ahead of me. You who have become a member of the Galactic Parliament are our best example."
"Let's get straight to the point, I know why you are here, Mr. Francis, about the Galaxy Outer Planet Mutual Aid Fund. , This is a good thing for the Galactic Republic. Regarding this matter, I am naturally..." The expression on Palpatine's face became a little subtle, "I will fully support it."
