1729. Dawn Agreement (Part 2)
In fact, when Palpatine received the call from Tang Xiao, he was also very surprised. Because between the two Sith Lords, there is no longer any room for maneuver, and the only thing left is life and death.
Talk? There's really nothing to talk about.
This was Palpatine's first thought, but Tang Xiao's first words dispelled his idea and decided to continue the conversation.
"Salute to you, the respected Emperor of the Galactic Empire, His Majesty Palpatine." Tang Xiaopi said with a smile.
Prior to this, Palpatine had dropped his first name and only retained his surname. So the name Sif has become history, and Palpatine is Palpatine, representing both his family and himself.
Seeing Tang Xiao's really unbeatable expression in the holographic projection, Palpatine's expression condensed, "I am now the Supreme Speaker of the Galactic Republic. This is not a place for you to talk nonsense. , the separatist war criminal, the second most wanted criminal in the galaxy, Tang Xiao."
"There is no need to hide it, you are ready to reorganize the Galactic Republic into the first empire of the galaxy, Pa. "Elpatin." Tang Xiao said lightly, "The only question now is, when are you going to declare this? Today?"
"It seems that you are from Hego-Damask." I got a lot of news from you." Palpatine's expression changed slightly, and he attributed Tang Xiao's foresight to his master. After all, before Tang Xiao appeared, he and Hego Damask II had proposed a complete plan on how to subvert the Galactic Republic.
But even so, Tang Xiao even called out the name of his planned country, which still surprised him.
"Let's get straight to the point, Palpatine. When do you plan to continue attacking the Dawn Planet?" Tang Xiao asked directly.
A ferocious smile appeared on Palpatine's face, "Soon, dear Tang Xiao, soon... I will put your body together with Heige, one on the left and one on the right. Display it in front of my desk and enjoy it every day..."
"Then I will wait for you on the Dawn Planet, come on." Tang Xiao sneered.
"You can't be proud for long! Tang Xiao! Soon, I will attack with ten times or a hundred times the strength! Your small planet and poor allies cannot resist me forever The offensive!" Palpatine said with a ferocious smile.
"Ten times? A hundred times? Hahahaha..." Tang Xiao sneered, "Then what you will get will only be ten times or a hundred times more corpses! Tell me Palpatine, your next attack, When? One year? Five years or ten years?
"This has nothing to do with you, you just need to wait for death to come!" Palpatine gritted his teeth.
However, Tang Xiao smiled instead, changed the subject, and changed the direction very suddenly, "So, how about I surrender?"
Palpatine's expression suddenly changed, he Staring at Tang Xiao, his sinister and terrifying eyes were like a poisonous snake!
However, Tang Xiao seemed not to see his terrifying expression and said to himself: "The Principality of Dawn and its jurisdiction will surrender to the current regime of Coruscant headed by Palpatine and become a new state again. A member of the Coruscant regime...including, but not limited to, the Galactic Republic, or the Galactic Empire..."
He did not show all the cards in his hand. In fact, at this time Listing out Palpatine's dilemmas one by one seems very pretentious, but in fact it is a very stupid way of negotiating, especially for a smart man like Palpatine.
Palpatine is naturally well aware of his own predicament, but for him to think about this matter himself and for you to point it out directly have completely opposite effects. Tang Xiao knew that there was no way he could compete with Palpatine in eloquence, even if Francis Underwood was standing next to him, always guiding his choice of words. Therefore, he stated his conditions straightforwardly, and left it to Palpatine to judge the process.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, Palpatine did not directly taunt him, nor did he refuse, but looked at him with extremely fierce eyes.
Indeed, Palpatine saw beyond. He knew that the reason why Tang Xiao made this offer was that it was hard for him to refuse! Not only that, while it was difficult to refuse, he also had to offer Tang Xiao enough benefits!
So, Tang Xiao meant surrender, but in other words, he wanted the benefits that Palpatine gave him! Thinking about this in an instant, it's strange that Palpatine's face looks good!
If someone else comes and hears Tang Xiao say this, oh, are you surrendering? Okay, I'm right. If that were the case, it would be strange if Tang Xiao didn't treat him as a fool. Political negotiations generally mean this. If you only look at the surface, you are destined to be manipulated by others.
Palpatine did not answer immediately, he just looked at Tang Xiao fiercely.
But Tang Xiao was not in a hurry and just stared back. The two Sith Lords, one big and one small, stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. By the way, Tang Xiao is the one with bigger eyes, because his handsomeness is second only to Master Jing (bushi).
He knows that Palpatine's current situation is very bad, and he has to make plans to become emperor. Otherwise, his position as Speaker may not be secure!
Because the recent failures, especially the series of military operations against the Principality of Dawn, have been a huge blow to Palpatine. This is true both militarily and politically.
It was because of the outbreak of this war that Palpatine received the emergency ruling power granted by the Parliament. If the war goes very smoothly, just like the Clone Wars in the original plot, then all the glory will belong to him and he will be emperor. It is a matter of course.
But now, this is not the case.
Emergency ruling power is also a double-edged sword, so this series of failures will naturally become Palpatine's responsibility. This is the reason why the members of Parliament, headed by Bail Organa and others, want to impeach him at every turn.
So now, if Palpatine does not lift the table, but continues to sit in the parliament and play this democratic game with Bail Organa and the others, it will inevitably lead to long nights and many dreams as time goes by.
This is especially true of the failures of the Model Sector Assault Battle and the Yago-Dur System Battle. The consequences of the failure of these two battles are now gradually emerging, including drastic changes in the Quat Power Shipyard and the production of warships. Reduction, huge fiscal revenue deficit, huge pensions, etc.
The Sparti Clone Troopers cannot be used as generalists and battleship operators like the Kamino Clone Troopers. Therefore, most of the current Republic Navy officers and soldiers are ordinary people.
Ordinary soldiers died in battle, but they need pensions!
The results of the battle can be whitewashed through the media, and right and wrong can be confused, but the dead cannot be resurrected! And their family members will turn to the current government to ask for pensions!
So, once the consequences of these two battles gradually come to light, Palpatine's reputation will suffer a serious blow. At that time, with the ebb and flow of the situation, how long could he withstand the impeachment of the members of Bail Organa?
Flipping the table is Palpatine's only option.
