Chapter 2001 Political Trend

? 2001, political wind direction

The capital of the Galactic Republic, the planet Coruscant.

"...Member Thunbak-Tula, this matter is very important to our guardian planet. If you can help us, our planet will definitely give you a reward that satisfies you..." Peacock Said eagerly to a holographic image.

The hologram is of a tall, hairy Semirth with three tufts of hair combed over her chin like a beard. But there is no typo here, Tuenbak-Tula is indeed a Semirth woman. She was wearing a gorgeous and unusual dress, and she glanced at the peacock very arrogantly and said: "This matter, you can only blame you for what you deserve. The assassination of Speaker Palpatine, no matter how good your reasons are, it is an irrefutable fact. So, I can't help you. Just do it yourself." After finishing speaking, he turned off the communication involuntarily.

Peacock sighed, sat down on the sofa, and looked up the address book in front of him very irritably. It can be seen that at least half of the people in the address book are marked with red marks. These are the people that Peacock has looked for before, but since the news of the assassination of Speaker Palpatine on the guardian planet, he promised to support her before. Almost all the members of parliament who entered the parliament turned 180 degrees and ignored peacocks.

From this, it can also be seen how lofty the prestige of Schiff-Palpatine in the Congress of the Republic is! He came to power during the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo, replacing the former speaker, Phinnis Valorum. And instead of cherishing feathers too much before and carrying out the pedantic image of "justice" in his heart, Valoren turned to expel the Trade Alliance fleet that blocked the planet Naboo with thunder, and won a huge reputation.

And in the following 8 years of administration, all his decrees were in an orderly manner, and he gradually increased the military power of the Galactic Republic, especially the policy of allowing various galaxies and chaebols to build private fleets, which won him the support of countless people. And the influence transformed from such support is truly reflected in front of Peacock.

"If I were you, I wouldn't talk to Tula like this." Svetlana said behind the peacock: "I taught you before, you have to learn to speak in different ways in front of different people, so negotiation The previous intelligence gathering is very important. Tuenbak Tula is an insatiable, bullying person. When you talk to her, you must always express two messages-first, I am rich, and second , I am very good. But you have not been able to do any of these two points."

Peacock shook his head lightly, rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, I was really too eager just now."

"There is not much room for us to make mistakes, so now is not the time to say sorry. But there is still good news. At least we understand that even a greedy guy like Tula has to suppress his greed, which shows that , Now the entire Galactic Council may not support us to enter the Council.

’ said Svetlana.

"Is this good news? You're not entertaining me, are you?"

"Of course it's good news!" Svetlana said categorically: "At least this lets us understand the current political wind direction, so that we will not do stupid things that go against this wind direction. One thing you must understand is that political wars It is completely different from the real wars you have experienced before, but the level of cruelty and darkness is even better!"

Peacock nodded and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Give a speech, announce that you will not run for the Galactic Council, and win sympathy!"

"Not running for the election? Why can't it be said to be withdrawing temporarily?" Peacock was a little puzzled.

Svetlana snorted, "Try to add the word "temporary"? They will think that you have no intention of introspection at all, but just want to avoid the limelight, even if we really want to avoid the limelight. In this way we are The opposition will be even more violent. In fact, as long as the time is right, we can stand for election again. At that time, we only need to say this time as a fart. Understand?"

Peacock sighed again and nodded.

Svetlana came behind Peacock and squeezed her shoulders, "I know very well what kind of person Tang Yu was before. In fact, in the entire Guardian Empire, there are not many people who met Tang Yu earlier than me. Personally. I watched him grow step by step from the youthful youth to the present level with my own eyes. He has already crossed this step. Many times he will be ruthless and decisive, so even the process from the Guardian Group to the Guardian Empire Among them, there are many people who have made great contributions, but the emperor can only be him. And you, as the person Tang Yu chose, you also need to take this step."

"I don't know if I can do it... For more than a week in Coruscant, almost every day is suffering... Every day challenges the bottom line of my principles..." Peacock said in a low voice.

"Do you think Tang Yu gave up Song Hana just because of love?" Svetlana said suddenly.

"Is not it?"

"There is this reason, but not all." Svetlana said word by word: "Because if Song Hana becomes the queen, she will become the biggest shortcoming and the biggest weakness of the empire. But... Tang Yu thinks you Won't."

Peacock's fists were tightly clenched, and it took a long time before he let go suddenly, and said in a low voice, "I understand, Svetlana. During the period when I started working in politics, I ask for your guidance."

Svetlana nodded approvingly and asked, "Then what do you think we should do now?"

"Our influence is too weak. This is not just a matter of the strength of our planet. The strength of Naboo is not strong, but the Speaker Palpatine is from Naboo, and the representative of Naboo, Pad May-Amidala also has great influence. So, next, I will establish my own circle and establish my own influence!" Peacock said firmly: "Before the speaker comes back, I will go to Find Padmé Amidala, keep silent about this incident, just build a deeper friendship."

"It's still too deliberate for you to do this. Just say what you want to say. If you deliberately avoid talking about it, it will make people think that you have ulterior motives. But now that you have such awareness, I am relieved. Next I will come to Let’s go to the underground area of ​​Coruscant, where good and bad people are mixed and gangsters are rampant, I think, at least set up some chess pieces first.” Svetlana said.

Peacock nodded, turned to T-X No. 2 Eliza, who had been standing by the side all the time, and said, "Eliza, you have become like Svetlana these days, but don't go out. The technology here can easily distinguish you It's from a robot, but as long as you don't go out, it won't reveal too many flaws."

"Understood." Eliza nodded.

...

Coruscant, in the vast three-dimensional conference center of the Galactic Parliament.

"Murderer! Rogue!!"

"The guardian planet is not eligible to appear in the parliament!"

"Get the peacock out!!"

Amidst the boos and yells of thousands of congressmen around, Peacock manipulated the anti-gravity platform and flew towards the middle of the parliament. She first pointed at Speaker Palpatine, who was still wearing a splint on his arm and wrapped in biological gel. Bowing deeply, "Your Excellency, the occurrence of such a thing is caused by our major security risks. On behalf of the Guardian Planet, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to Your Excellency, and to every member of the Republic. We will definitely investigate this attack thoroughly and reveal the truth."

Palpatine nodded kindly and smiled, "It's not your fault, child, nor Tang Yu's fault. I believe in your planet and Tang Yu from the beginning to the end. You will never betray the Republic , I absolutely believe it."

These extremely normal words made Peacock sweat profusely. Palpatine was praising her and the Guardian Planet, but when the Guardian Planet stood on the opposite side of the Republic under his plan, his words today would become the most terrifying weapon, making the Guardian The planet must never turn over!

Peacock calmed down, turned around and bowed again to the other councilors around him, and then said: "Because of going through such a thing, we, the guardians of the planet, feel that we have sinned deeply, so we voluntarily withdraw from the election of the councilors of the republic and put our energy It is all about developing itself and seeking the well-being of the republic."
