Chapter 416 Power
414, Power
Capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant, Republic Parliament Building.
"I hope the Republic can rule on this matter! The Dawn Planet colluded with the United Mining Group to illegally build a colony on the Fang of Kuna planet, and illegally mined in the Eye of Kuna!" Airu Councilor Muchadis - Muchardis Mulaxis made accusations against Dawn Planet among the MPs.
"Before filing charges against us, I hope that Representative Murasis will take a good look at the Constitution of the Republic and see which article Dawn Planet has violated." Dawn Planet Representative Francis Ander Wood responded lazily.
"According to the Constitution of the Republic, colonizing a planet must abide by the rights of the original owners!"
"That is for the indigenous people, so you want to say that the Airu people belong to the Fang of Kuna Aboriginal people? If that's the case, then we can colonize the planet Annaji." Francis said.
“And you didn’t even follow the minimum first-come, first-served rule!” Murasis said loudly.
“First come, first served? This is an interesting statement. So we only need to build a shabby house on every planet in the galaxy, and then I can tell everyone who wants to come over to develop it What do you mean by 'first come, first served'? Hahahaha, this is really a shortcut to getting rich." Francis mocked.
There were bursts of laughter in the parliament.
Francis can be said to be a man of the hour in the parliament now, and he has many supporters behind him. Compared to the Airu people of the Anaji planet who rarely have contact with the Republic, the political influence of the two of them is Totally different.
"This situation is completely different! The Kuna Star Cluster is the sphere of influence of our Airu people!" Murasis was naturally no match for the eloquent Francis, and he began to use strong words.
"'Sphere of Influence'? This is very interesting!" Francis stood up suddenly, biting the word interesting very hard, holding the anti-gravity platform with both hands, and said through gritted teeth: "Let me Let me tell you something interesting! The Aru people, originating from the planet Maya-Kevir, are the first race in the Model sector to have interstellar navigation capabilities! The area expanded greatly, establishing huge factories on the planet Orville III and the planet Sonar, and established colonies on the planet Vathian, and finally occupied the largest habitable planet in the Model sector, Annaji! "
"So what! This is the result of the hard work of our ancestors!"
Francis pointed at his nose and said righteously: "How? The origin of the Dawn Planet We are just a group of war refugees! We have established our own home in the Endor galaxy through our own efforts, and we have also established good relations with the indigenous Ewoks. Now the Ewoks are officially one of us! We have worked hard all the way! Starting from scratch, we are making our homeland better little by little! We are committed to helping other planets in need in the galaxy, even if we ourselves have to tighten our belts! I can tell you responsibly, Last year, Dawn Planet exported 4 billion tons of food! Based on a person's consumption of 0.5 tons of food per year, this means that we fed 8 billion people! At the same time, what are you doing on your planet Annaji? Is the 'sphere of influence' expanding? ”
"You..."
"Me? I can tell you! What I saw was a powerful race that occupied nearly 10 planets and had a total population of more than 5 billion. In a country with a total population of no more than 5 million, Show off your power in front of the race! We want to transform the atmosphere of the Fang of Kuna. This is a matter of great merit, but you are telling us about the 'sphere of influence'? Since the founding of the Galactic Republic, our founding principle has been to not fear power and resist. Power! The Infinite Empire, the Eternal Empire, and the Sith Empire have all been defeated by us! But now, in the face of the power of the Airu people, we will fight to the end!" Francis said impassionedly.
“Well said!!” Malasta MP Ainle-Tim was the first to jump up and applaud loudly. Under his leadership, a large number of New Ring MPs and MPs from the Outer Ring and Central Star Districts also rose up to express their support for Francis.
Congressman Murasis was furious. He shouted to Speaker Palpatine who was sitting in the middle: "Is the Galactic Republic going to condone such an act of aggression?"
"It's a pity, Councilor Murasis. The Fang of Kuna and the Eye of Kuna are both uninhabited planets without intelligent indigenous people, and the Aru people have no influence on these two planets. More than 30%, so the colonization and mining activities on Dawn Planet do not violate the laws of the Republic," Speaker Palpatine said slowly.
"This makes no sense!" Murasis rebuked loudly, "When we Aru people joined the Galactic Republic 20 years ago, the Kuna Star Cluster, the Zuma Star Cluster and the Model Sector were our spheres of influence since ancient times! Why? After joining the Galactic Republic, our sphere of influence will be affected!" "This is the law of the Republic, I'm sorry," Palpatine shook his head.
"If this is the case! We Airu people will defend our 'sphere of influence' in our own way!" Murasis was furious and dropped this sentence , controlling the anti-gravity platform to fly towards the exit, preparing to leave.
"So you want to use 'power' to solve the problem? Don't forget, this is the Galactic Republic! No power is welcome here!" Francis didn't think it was enough. The back adds fuel to the fire.
After Murasis left, Palpatine looked at Francis and asked with a cold smile: "Since when did Dawn Planet consider itself weak? Compared with the Eru people , which side of you is the most powerful? ”
"As we have always insisted, Planet Dawn longs for peace, and is very willing to contribute to the Republic." Francis responded with a smile.
......
The Endor system, the outer orbit of the planet Cave-Bill, the Glory mothership.
Tang Xiao looked at the documents in front of him, smiled lightly and said: "It seems that the pioneer group has a lot of opinions on Canidi. You see, this is the twentieth time they have complained recently. "
"My Lord Governor, I think Canidi's behavior in the Fang of Kuna has indeed damaged the reputation of our fourth civilization. If necessary, I suggest that he be replaced," Chief of Staff Qi Jian said.
"I object. Canidi's opinion is very correct. We must be cautious in launching any war, especially since our target is the overlord Airu people in the Model sector. Their population and scope of control far exceed ours." Administration. said Minister Daphne Clement.
“But when you say that, you don’t actually deny the possibility of war.” Baron Helmut Zemo chuckled.
“The difficulty of the war depends on our preset goals for this war. For now, we are capable of defeating the Airu people in a short time, but the war must not be delayed, otherwise it will fall into a protracted war. , we can’t win,” Army Commander-in-Chief General Xian Hui said.
"Everyone, this is the Galactic Republic. Even if a war is really launched, the Republic will ultimately need to arbitrate. I hope everyone understands this." Francis Underwood participated in the meeting via remote communication said.
Tang Xiao nodded and said: "I have decided to retain the position of Volgograd-Kanidi and not interfere with any of his measures on the Fang of Kuna. In order to strengthen his authority, I Prepare to issue a formal announcement to reiterate this point.”
"This may delay our colonization process in the Fang of Kuna galaxy." Qi Jian said in a deep voice.
"No... I just think things will get interesting." Tang Xiao smiled, "Maybe what Canidi insists on is exactly what we need."
