Chapter 2084: Split in the political arena
2085: Split in the political arena
Ling Liang sighed slightly, because since Operation Plan Zero was put into effect, she and Hari Seldon seemed to have been Some people in the Liming Principality were divided into the party of sycophants.
In fact, no matter which regime, this is the case. Those who have no principles and just cater to the ruler's wishes as a way to get promoted are looked down upon.
Because first of all, there is a premise that a person's ability is limited after all, but to manage a huge political power involves all aspects, from industry to people's livelihood to economy to medicine... So a country It requires many professionals to jointly manage it.
The officials at all levels under the ruler are professionals from all walks of life. They are definitely more professional than the rulers in their respective fields. Therefore, most of the time, the opinions they put forward are more detailed and professional, and what the rulers have to do is to choose between the opinions put forward by these experts and the possible results.
So at this time, if someone has no position and no principles, whatever the ruler says will be whatever it is. What is the difference between this result and the ruler himself managing the country? Let unprofessional people manage professional areas, and the result is likely to be a mess.
For example, Tang Xiao knew that he was completely incompetent in military command, so he rarely interfered directly with military command.
So if someone is like this, the result may be that although he is in office, the decision-making is made by Tang Xiao's own wishes, which may not be correct. Therefore, such people must be unpopular in this country and are considered black sheep.
The person currently considered such a sycophant in the Principality of Dawn is Helmut Zemo.
But this time, Tang Xiao directly implemented the No. 0 combat plan with a strong attitude that was almost determined to have his own way. In fact, many people are opposed to this plan, and they also think that this plan is making fun of the future of the Principality of Dawn. Operation Plan Zero was a plan that the ruler Tang Xiao came up with in a flash, and it was very consistent with his way of thinking as a Sith Lord. As professional ministers, they must stop Tang Xiao from gambling with the entire country. National destiny behavior.
So under such a train of thought, those who agreed with this plan naturally became sycophants who blindly catered to Tang Xiao's preferences. Especially Ling Liang, who proposed this plan, was considered by many to be a plan based on Tang Xiao's preferences, so Tang Xiao would naturally be happy.
Then Ling Liang’s behavior makes him a heinous villain who disregards the future of the Liming Principality and is willing to let the entire country be buried with him just to cater to Tang Xiao!
Of course, people such as Helmut Zemo and Gross Shelbia, who had always had Tang Xiao's wishes as their only guiding ideology, naturally praised Ling Liang greatly.
So the political arena of the Dawn Principality had actually begun to split at this time.
What's even worse is that now Tang Xiao can't return to Dawn Planet for various reasons!
"General, just now Prime Minister Francis Underwood signed an executive order, directly removing Hari Seldon from his position as the governor of the Haven Sector, and requested that he be transferred to the judicial authorities for dereliction of duty. Deal with it." An official came in and reported to Ling Lianghui.
Ling Liang's expression changed and he said coldly: "Francis, he stretched his hand too far! Is Hari Seldon the one he can move?"
Official Didn't dare to answer, just lowered his head.
Ling Liang waved his hand and said, "I understand, please step back."
"Yes..." The official retreated as if he was running away. Even though he, a senior manager of the star district, can be regarded as a high-ranking official outside, a political struggle of this level will be wiped out in ashes!
After the communication was connected, Ling Liang looked at Helmut Zemo who appeared in the holographic projection and said: "Hari Seldon has been deposed." "I regret that I could not prevent this. What happened, General Ling." Zemo shook his head, "In terms of administrative functions, the Prime Minister's Office does have the power to remove the governor of the Havin Sector. Now I am very worried that such a struggle will lead to Operation Zero. The plan has been delayed again and again."
Ling Liang snorted and said, "Then we have nothing to say to Francis and just set the production target of Operation Zero. If it cannot be completed in front of him, then we can also impeach him for dereliction of duty. No one has the qualifications to change or terminate the No. 0 combat plan before Grand Duke Tang Xiao personally orders it."
"Do this. It's equivalent to directly declaring war with the Prime Minister's Office." Although Zemo said this, there was a smile on his face.
"Isn't this what you expected?" Ling Liang asked back.
"Francis can no longer keep up with this era. The stage that belongs to him no longer exists after the end of the Clone Wars." Zemo said sarcastically, "He has always dreamed of The Prime Minister of the Empire will never be able to touch him in this life."
Ling Liang fell silent, and after a long time, she asked again: "What do you really think about this plan?"
"Do you really think that I chose to support him just to cater to the wishes of the Grand Duke? General Ling." Zemo adjusted his glasses and his expression suddenly became serious.
Ling Liang looked at him and frowned.
"Indeed, even if I can't be said to be a layman in terms of military affairs, after all, I am far inferior to you." Zemo said, "But I have my own way of judgment... You know the most critical part of this battle plan. What is it?”
“Assault on Coruscant and defeat the First System Army,” Ling Liang said.
"No...that's not important." Zemo shook his head, "What's important is how to kill Palpatine."
Ling Liang said in surprise: "The Grand Duke, he Tell me, I don't need to worry about this, he will definitely be able to kill Palpatine..."
"You really don't need to worry, because it is him who needs to worry," Zemo said, "The Grand Duke. It is rare that he has made such a decision in this regard. He is always very cautious about fighting an enemy of Palpatine's level, and now that he has made this determination, it means that he has full confidence in it. Or rather, he had to do it.”
He glanced at Ling Liang and then said: "Since the Grand Duke, as the ruler, has made such a determination, what else can we subordinates do besides risking our lives to accompany him?"
Communication Close it and the picture in front of you disappears.
Ling Liang stood here for a long time without responding. Then she came to her desk, opened the terminal, opened a file in it, and wrote the title - "Ling Liang Report".
