Chapter 156 Adjustment of Deployment
154. Adjustment of Deployment
Tang Xiao touched his chin and thought hard, "So the matter of the judicial fleet sending troops to encircle and suppress pirates last year is still involved now. The dispute on the planet Alastair?”
Francis Underwood replied: “The most brilliant method of this person Sheev Palpatine is to do the opposite. He is good at doing the opposite. He created a different situation so that his seemingly positive behavior had the opposite effect, and people still praised him."
"After all, he has the entire political arena of the galaxy at his fingertips. Master..." Tang Xiao sighed.
To be honest, he thinks that among these legendary figures currently, the one who plays the greatest role is Francis Underwood. Without the help of this old fox in politics, I might have been betrayed by Palpatine in a few moments, and I would still be grateful to him.
Of course, out of the same consideration, he also has many balancing methods for Francis. Such as waking up Ni Yongxiao and Helmut Zemo to check and balance, and letting Super Lotus go to Francis.
With that super hacker around, nothing Francis does can escape his monitoring.
“Last year, when the Justice Fleet sent troops to encircle and suppress the Bislanca pirates, Finis Valoran was actually opposed to it at first. But then Palpatine convinced him, because it was said that the Jedi Order’s Du Master Ku is personally involved in this matter. So rather than saying that Valoran wants to help the outer planets eliminate pirates, it is better to say that he betrayed the Jedi Order to save face," Francis said.
“If I’m not wrong, this is just a way for Palpatine to get his own way. Master Dooku will definitely think that Valorum is selling Palpatine’s face, and so will Valorum. I think so." Tang Xiao sneered.
"The process in the middle is unknown, but the result was very bad. During this siege, the Republic's judicial fleet was dispatched with great fanfare, which led to the leak of the news. The Bislanca pirates made a surprise attack and lost 3 ships. Cruisers, nearly 5,000 soldiers were killed. Although after finally regaining their composure, the Judiciary Fleet easily crushed the Bislanca pirates with its strong ships and cannons, but this battle has become a scandal," Francis said. .
Tang Xiao immediately remembered that when he was on the planet Sochoron, Hego Damask II's tone sounded like he knew the Bislanca pirates and their leader Tal. -Beas's. So from this point of view, it is highly questionable that the judicial fleet was attacked due to leaked information.
At least, even if you know the news of the arrival of the Judiciary Fleet, but don't know the location of their hyperspace jump, a sneak attack is out of the question.
“As a result, the total loss of this pirate encirclement and suppression operation, including the loss of cruisers, pensions for fallen soldiers, and miscellaneous things that followed, exceeded 50 million credit points. And the Interstellar Banking Association’s The insurance company refused to pay the money. Without the support of these companies, where would the Galactic Republic's treasury have money? Even the pensions for the fallen soldiers would not be available, and a demonstration broke out last year." Si said.
Tang Xiao finally figured it out, "So this incident makes it impossible for Finis Valorum to trust the corrupt Judiciary Fleet again. In the dispute over the planet Marastal, Valorum He has fallen into a situation where he is not human inside and out. And the most important thing is that Valoran will only blame the Justice Fleet for this failure, but will not blame Palpatine, who is also in the Council for promoting this bandit suppression. The same is true in this case. It was the Justice Fleet who took the blame, but Palpatine, who vigorously promoted this bandit suppression operation, became a hero!"
Francis nodded and said: "That's right. So you can see that every move Palpatine makes, he doesn't care about the outcome. Because when the piece is put down, he has already won. . Frankly speaking, I am no match for such a person. However, with your prediction of the future, maybe I still have a glimmer of hope."
Tang Xiao felt a chill in his heart.
As the entire "Star Wars" universe, or even the universe of all the film, television and game worlds he has seen, it can be said that the cunning of Sheev Palpatine is the leading politician and conspirator. , vision and wisdom reveal just this little tip of the iceberg, which makes people breathless.
And such a person is his most direct opponent in the future!
Seeing Tang Xiao's expression, Francis just smiled slightly. He adjusted his suit, buttoned the second to last button, and then said: "But the good news is not without it. Parr Councilor Patin invited me to attend this meeting of the Galactic Parliament as a representative of the Dawn Planet, because he believes that the Outer Ring Galaxy Mutual Aid Fund we launched has given us some say in the outer ring planets. So, you have your judgment about the future. , I think I know what I should do.”
"I will also play my role well in this matter." Tang Xiao nodded and said.
"Yes, the meeting starts in 4 hours. It's time for us to get close to a big tree. Manager." Francis said this sentence with a pun and smiled. For a moment, the communication was closed.
Tang Xiao sat back on the sofa and rubbed his temples. After a while, another communication was connected.
Volgograd-Kanidi's figure appeared in the projection. He was still wearing a heavy body armor. "Manager, what are your orders." "What was the result of the battle on Tatooine?"
"In the past two or three months, we have destroyed a total of 13 smuggling fleets and 29 spaceships. Moreover, it seems that the bounty hunters around us are already spreading rumors about the evil reputation of our black ships." Canidi seemed not to be convinced at all. Unhappy, he lowered his head and said.
"This should be something to be happy about, right?"
"No...I have never thought that others would be afraid of me since I was a child..." Canidi's face was full of resentment and he was about to cry without tears. "You don't know, the other person's expression when I talked to a smuggling ship yesterday..."
"It's better for others to be afraid of you than for you to be afraid of others, right?" Tang Xiao felt a little headache.
“I used to be a mining and ship pipe manufacturer...”
"You have also driven a cruiser, right?"
"That was in the military academy."
"Hey... okay. How is Santa Claus's place?" Tang Xiao asked. I don’t know since when, Santa Claus became Yuri Orlov’s secret code for smuggling weapons.
"Super Lotus has contacted me before. The Trojan she planted through Ifant-Mont did affect the network near Tatooine. The current movements of most bounty hunters around Tatooine It's all under control. Santa can easily deliver the supplies to Tatooine."
"In that case, you can return to the Endor system. The task is left to you.”
"Finally no longer need to be a pirate?" Canidi's eyes lit up, "Can we return to the Endor galaxy?"
"Well, I'll rest for two days and I'll leave for Malastar planet soon. "Tang Xiao said.
"Planet Malastar? I know. It's where bounty hunters have been talking a lot lately. I heard they are wrangling with the Enterprise Alliance."
"That's right."
"Then...didn't you become a pirate in the past?"
"I'm definitely not going to be a pirate, don't worry."
"Great! I've been waiting for this day for a long time! I'll be back soon!"
