The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

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 needy 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, separatist war criminals. The second most wanted criminal in the galaxy, Tang Xiao."

"There is no need to hide it. You are almost ready to reorganize the Galactic Republic into the First Empire of the Galaxy, Palpatine." Tang Xiao said lightly, "The only question now is, when do you plan to declare What about this? Today? Tomorrow?"

"It seems that you got a lot of information from Hego Damask II." Palpatine's expression moved 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, and display them in front of my table , appreciate it every day..."

"Then I'll be waiting for you on Dawn Planet now, 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 my offensive forever!" Parr Patin said with a grim 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, when will your next attack be? One year ?Two years? Or five years and 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 suddenly changed direction, "Then, how about I surrender?"

Palpatine's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Tang Xiao with a sinister and terrifying look, 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 Coruscant regime headed by Palpatine and become a member of the Coruscant regime again. ...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, he listed Palpatine's dilemma one by one. It seemed very pretentious, but in fact it was a very stupid way of negotiating. Especially for a smart guy 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, when he said these words, Palpatine did not directly taunt him, nor did he refuse him, 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!

Therefore, 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. This is what political negotiations mean. If you only look at the surface, you are destined to be played by others and applauded.

Palpatine didn't answer immediately, he just looked at Tang Xiao fiercely.

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 knew that Palpatine's current situation was very bad, and that he had to take action on the matter of proclaiming himself emperor. Otherwise, his position as Speaker may not be secure!

Because recently, especially the failure of this series of military operations against the Principality of Dawn, it was 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.

The 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, reduction in warship production, and huge financial 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 the results of the battle can be distorted, but the dead cannot be resurrected! And their family members will turn to the current government to ask for pensions!

Therefore, once the consequences of these two battles gradually emerge, 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?

Turning over the table was Palpatine's only option.
