333: The Arrow is on the String
Tang Xiao walked out of the box, took the shuttle directly to the Glory mothership, and came to the conference room.
Baron Helmut Zemo, Ni Yongxiao, and Qi Jian are already waiting in the conference room. In the holographic projection, Frances Underwood, Claire Underwood, and Gross Tse Albia also participated in the meeting remotely.
Seeing Tang Xiao come in, everyone stood up and saluted.
Francis Underwood said: "Just two standard hours ago, the negotiations between the Galactic Republic and the Trade Federation completely failed. Newt Gunray rejected all proposals proposed by Finis Valorum, and in free trade Newt Gunray and the Trade Federation delegation have now left Coruscant. "The Trade Federation is definitely ready." "Tang Xiao nodded, looked at Baron Zemo and asked, "How is the situation on the planet Naboo?"
"At about the same time, Newt Gunray's deputy Rune Harkou also withdrew from Naboo. They refused to re-sign the trade agreement during the negotiations on the planet." Baron Zemo said.
"The financial situation of the planet Naboo absolutely cannot allow that unequal trade agreement to continue. Now there is only one way before the new queen." Tang Xiao frowned.
Francis shook her head and folded her hands on the table, "No, actually, she can't even take this last road. Although she has officially submitted a motion to the Galactic Republic Parliament, hoping that the Republic Mediate the matter, but the Republic Parliament will not come forward.”
"For a country to do this, it can only be said that they brought their own fate to their own fault." Ni Yongxiao said calmly with a stern face, "However, they are not afraid of the Trade Alliance, right? What on earth caused Finis Valoran Reject this motion?"
"This matter is no longer a question of fear," Francis said: "Because if we continue to take a step forward, there will only be war, and the Republic cannot be the one to provoke the war. What's more, even if Fenis Valoran wants to start a war, who will he fight with? Will the Judicial Fleet allow it?"
Tang Xiao tapped his index finger on the table, and he fell silent. After a while, he said: "Whether it is the prophecy I saw or the development of things, the war on the planet Naboo is bound to break out. So now our topic is, to what extent do we need to intervene in the dispute on the planet Naboo?"
"What we need to pay attention to is the attitude of Hego Damask II. And when will he die." Baron Helmut Zemo asked, staring at Tang Xiao.
"Hego gave me the Sith Infiltrator, which basically showed his attitude. Palpatine will definitely kill him. However, I will also go to Coruscant myself when the time comes. , add insurance for this matter. Something I asked Cunte to check before has already been revealed, and I will go there in the near future." Tang Xiao said.
"What is it that makes our Governor so concerned?" Gross-Shelbia smiled lightly.
"Oh, let's go see someone...my master." Tang Xiao smiled faintly.
"Then my suggestion is, don't interfere." Baron Helmut Zemo said decisively.
"Don't interfere? If we send troops, we can reverse the outcome of the war on the planet Naboo. The final result of this war will end with the Trade Federation occupying Naboo." Tang Xiao looked at it He glanced at Zemo.
"This war is not fierce on the surface, but there are too many interests involved. It is even related to the prophecy of the Force." Baron Zemo said.
"Are you studying the force?" Tang Xiao frowned, "This is a field that even involves mysticism. It is probably in vain." "But I believe that there are traces to follow for everything. For example The Battle of Naboo..." Baron Zemo said: "If we join the war, successfully capture the planet Naboo and prevent the subsequent counterattack, then the civil war in the galaxy may break out early, and this may allow Pad. May Amidala cannot meet and fall in love with Anakin Skywalker."
"This is a boring topic... What does the love between two people have to do with us?" Ni Yongxiao rubbed his forehead.
“No, if the prophecy you saw, Governor, is correct, Padme is the inducement for Anakin to fall to the dark side, but at the same time, it is also because of Padmé’s existence that Anakin, Becoming weaker," Baron Zemo said.
"I don't quite agree with this statement..." Tang Xiao frowned.
"Perhaps great love can really make a person extremely powerful, but obviously, for Padmé, the dominant emotion in Anakin's heart is fear. He is too afraid of losing, and it is this fear that makes him Can't become stronger. So, I think we can't add more variables to him, especially since we have lost control of Anakin."
Tang Xiaodian. head.
Due to a series of emergencies, Jabba the Hutt and Gardura the Hutt almost fought an all-out war on the planet Tatooine, and Mos Espa Port was severely damaged. In addition, the fourth civilization was too weak at that time and did not have the ability to find someone in the vast Tatooine.
As a result, he has not been able to find the whereabouts of the chosen son Anakin Skywalker until now, and he lives in Mos Espa Port. Now his life or death is uncertain. This has always been Tang Xiao's heartache.
If the bond between the Force and destiny really exists, then the only way to allow the war on Naboo to break out and end is...
"Then let me confirm once again, if we assist the Trade Federation to occupy the planet Naboo without considering Anakin Skywalker, what good will it do to us?" Tang Xiao asked in a deep voice.
"It will have no impact on the outcome of the Republic, but it will be very good for Palpatine. But this result is not good for us." Baron Zemo answered decisively.
"Then let's make sure. When the Trade Alliance decides to take action, we will send military observers. Other than that, we will not directly participate in this war." Tang Xiao stood up and made a decision directly, "The meeting is adjourned Right."
"Wait a minute, Governor." Gross-Shelbia suddenly said, "Are you interested in attending an auction?"
Tang Xiao Qianqian. He smiled and said: "I think this is not the occasion to propose a date, Representative Shelbia."
However, Gross-Shelbia took out a gilded invitation and placed it in front of the projector for Tang Xiao to see clearly, "This is an invitation from Mrs. Sev-Seryssex. The auction object is... ...A Jedi apprentice."
Tang Xiao immediately stepped forward and looked at the invitation in the projection. He suddenly thought of something and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
