The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

414. Power

The capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant, the Capitol of the Republic.

"I hope the Republic can rule this matter! The Dawn Star colluded with the United Mining Group, illegally built a colony on the planet Kuna's Fang, and illegally mined in the Kuna Eye!" Ailu MP Muchadis-Murasis ( Muchardis Mulaxis made the allegations against Dawn Star in MPs.

"Before you bring charges against us, I hope you can read the Constitution of the Republic carefully, and see which article the Dawn Star has violated." Francis Underwood, a member of the Dawn Star, responded lazily.

"According to the Constitution of the Republic, to colonize a planet must obey the rights of the original owner!"

"That's for the aborigines, so you want to say that the Eru people are the aborigines of Kuna's Fang? If that's the case, then we can colonize the planet Anji." Francis said.

"And you didn't even follow the minimum first-come, first-served rule!" Murasis said loudly.

"First come, first served? This statement is interesting. So we only need to build a broken house on every planet in the galaxy, and then I can tell everyone who wants to come and develop this "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 an influential figure in the parliament now, and he can be said to have a lot of supporters behind him. Compared with the people of Ayru, an Anji planet who seldom has contact with the Republic, the political influence of the two It's completely different.

"This situation is completely different! The Kuna star cluster is the sphere of influence of our Ayru people!" Murasis was naturally not the opponent of the eloquent Francis, and he began to speak forcefully.

"'Range of influence'? This is very interesting!" Francis stood up abruptly, he bit the word "interesting" extremely hard, propped his hands on the anti-gravity platform, and said through gritted teeth: "Let me tell you something interesting Let’s get started! The Ail people, originated from the planet Maya-Kevil, are the first race in the Mordel sector to have interstellar navigation capabilities! After you have mastered the technology of interstellar navigation, you began to expand in the Moder sector. Planet Vier III and Planet Sonar established huge factories, and established a colony on Planet Vathian, and finally occupied the largest habitable planet in the Model Star District, Anji!!"

"So what! This is the result of the hard work of our ancestors!"

Francis pointed to his nose and said solemnly: "How is it? The origin of the Dawn star is just a group of war refugees! With our own efforts, we have established our own homeland in the Endor galaxy, and we have also cooperated with the aborigines. The Ewoks are good friends, and now the Ewoks are officially part of us! We have worked hard all the way, from scratch, to make our home a little bit better! We are committed to helping the rest of the galaxy Planets in trouble, even we ourselves have to tighten our belts! I can tell you in a responsible manner that last year, Dawn Planet exported 4 billion tons of grain! Calculated on the basis of one person’s annual consumption of 0.5 tons of grain, this Means we feed 8 billion people! And at the same time, what are you planet Anji doing? Expansion in your 'sphere of influence'?"

"you……"

"Me? I can tell you! What I saw was a powerful race occupying nearly 10 planets with a total population of more than 5 billion, showing off its power in front of a race with a total population of no more than 5 million! We want to transform the Kuna The atmosphere of the tooth, 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 country's founding principle is to defy power and resist power! Infinite Empire, Eternal Empire, Sith Empire These powers have been defeated by us! Now, in front of the power of the Ailu people, I want to say that we will fight to the end!!" Francis said impassionedly.

"Well said!!" Marathal Councilor Ainle-Tim was the first to jump up and applaud loudly. Driven by him, a large number of councilors from the New Ring faction and councilors from the Outer Ring and Central Star Districts also stood up to express their support for Francis.

Congressman Murasis was furious, and he said loudly to the old god, Chairman Palpatine, who was sitting in the middle: "Is the Galactic Republic going to condone such an act of aggression?"

"Unfortunately, Congressman Murasis. Both the Kuna's Tooth Planet and the Kuna's Eye Planet are uninhabited planets with no intelligent natives, and the influence of the Ailu on these two planets has not exceeded 30%, so the colonization and mining of Dawn Planet does not violate the laws of the Republic." Speaker Palpatine said slowly.

"This is unreasonable!" Murasis scolded loudly, "When we Ailu joined the Galactic Republic 20 years ago, the Kuna star cluster, the Zuma star cluster and the Model star area were our sphere of influence since ancient times! Why? After joining the Galactic Republic, our sphere of influence will be affected instead?!"

"This is the law of the Republic, and I'm sorry, Senator Murasis." Palpatine said, shaking his head.

"If this is the case! We Ailu people will defend our 'sphere of influence' in our own way!" Murasis was furious, dropped this sentence, and controlled the anti-gravity platform to fly towards the exit, ready 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, and added fuel to the fire.

After Murasis left, Palpatine looked at Francis and asked with a sneer: "Since when did Dawn Star actually consider itself weak? Compared with the Ailu people, who are you?" What about power?"

"As we have always insisted, Dawn Star yearns for peace, and is also very willing to contribute to the Republic." Francis responded with a smile.

Looking at the document in front of him, Tang Xiao said with a faint smile: "It seems that the Pioneering Group has a lot of opinions on Carney Die. Look, this is the twentieth complaint in the past."

"Governor, I think Kanedi's behavior in Kuna's Fang has indeed damaged the reputation of our fourth civilization. If necessary, it is recommended to replace it." Chief of Staff Qi Jian said.

"I object. Kanidi's opinion is very correct. We must be cautious in launching any war, especially our target is the overlord of the Model sector, the Eru people. Their population and control area far exceed ours." Administration Minister Daphne Clement said.

"But if 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 Ailu people in a short period of time, but the war must not be delayed. Otherwise, we will fall into a protracted war and we will not be able to win." General Xian Hui, commander-in-chief of the army, said.

"Everyone, this is in the Galactic Republic. Even if a war is to be waged, the republic will be required to arbitrate in the end. I hope everyone understands this." Francis Underwood, who participated in the meeting via remote communication, said.

Tang Xiao nodded, and said: "I have decided to continue to retain the position of Volgograd-Kanidi, and will not interfere with any of his measures on the planet Kuna's Fang. In order to strengthen his authority, I am going to issue an official announcement, Stress that again."

"This may delay our colonization process in the Kuna's Fang galaxy." Qi Jian said in a deep voice.

"No... I just think that things will become very interesting." Tang Xiao smiled, "Maybe what Candy insisted on is exactly what we need."
