The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge
Chapter 819 Advocacy Failure
818、Advocacy failure
"Is there a possibility that this war should never have happened?"
Tang Xiao used a fork to pick up a piece of unknown but very delicious jerky, dipped it in the carefully prepared sauce, and then put it in his mouth.
The maid on the side hurriedly bowed and wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth with a white silk scarf.
"Hehehehe... Your question is not worthy of the wisdom and determination you have always shown." On the other side of the dining table, a majestic voice laughed, "The cause and effect of this war happened thousands of years ago. It has already been planted. We are just following the trend."
He has snow-white beard and hair, hale and hearty, not angry and majestic.
Count Dooku, the leader of the Separatists, the supreme leader of the Federation of Independent Galaxies, the initiator of the war, and the second most powerful person in the entire galaxy.
Tang Xiao smiled, continued to cut the jerky in his hand, and said casually: "Every time I hear about the omnipotent and powerful Darth Sidious from you, I always imagine that if Would this war have been fought without Darth Sidious?"
"Oh? Why did you say that?" Earl Dooku asked with a little interest.
Tang Xiao ate another piece of meat, waved his hand and declined the maid's service, and said, "With your erudition, you must also know that when our wisdom and civilization were in the age of cold weapons, people who were oppressed and exploited held bamboo poles oh, it's a branch that dares to rise up against its rulers. On our planet, it's called 'revolt'."
"That's right, a chaotic, barbaric, but full of romanticism era." Earl Dooku smiled slightly.
"But after entering the era of hot weapons, such things have become rare. Without careful preparations and even contacting foreign forces, those exploited will never rise up to resist." Tang Xiao took a sip of wine, " Entering the interstellar era, uprisings are almost non-existent. Why? Could it be that people have become more tame?"
"The difference in strength." Earl Dooku said affirmatively: "The difference between a branch and a spear is naturally far less than the difference between a blaster rifle and a star destroyer. In the face of violent state agencies, the power that civilians can grasp is not enough." It is worth mentioning, and with the development of technology and industry, this gap will become wider and wider. Civilians, naturally, will not hit a stone with a pebble."
"Then...why did this war break out?" Tang Xiao shook his head, raised his glass to Earl Dooku, and took another sip, "I really don't want to go to war."
"Only this sentence, you are lying to me. The development of Dawn Star in the war is obvious to all." Earl Dooku smiled, "However, I understand what you want to say. If there is no black hand behind the scenes, the dead angel, Darth Sidious and their actions, those backward planets in the outer ring will not be driven to a dead end, and they will not unite to resist, will they? No..."
He shook his head, "I can only say that the gap between us and the Republic is far smaller than spears and branches. Because Darth Sidious will do his best to help us and cooperate with us."
"The Confederation of Independent Galaxies cannot shake the Galactic Republic, which owns the Kuat Power Dockyard, the Rendili Interstellar Power Company, and the Corellia Engineering Company. This war will last for another two years at most." Tang Xiao said, "And up to I haven't been able to see Lord Sidious's inner and outer cooperation now. I really want to know, what kind of situation was it back then, and what made you make up your mind to resist?"
Earl Dooku's expression became serious, "Faith! There are still ideals!"
"Give me freedom or give me death..." Tang Xiao said this sentence with a half-smile, and then continued: "It seems that the Galactic Republic will win, at least in military terms. However, Darth Sidious Master Si, it seems that he will not lose."
"I also want to know, since you are so sure about this result, why did you join us without hesitation?" Earl Dooku asked pointedly.
"Maybe it's because... there is no other choice?" Tang Xiao answered casually.
"Hahahaha! This doesn't sound like what the Governor of Dawn Star, who just won the highest nebula medal of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, should say, hahahaha!" Earl Dooku laughed, and then said naturally: "It's just a pity, Severan I am so sorry that General Seth Tann missed the honor ceremony for the second time."
"She is being chased and intercepted by the fleet of the Republic, and she is in great danger." Tang Xiao replied.
"Do you know her current location? Maybe we still have a fleet nearby to meet her." Earl Dooku asked.
Tang Xiao smiled and shook his head, "How would I know her location? If it really fails, the Titan battleship Plague will be destroyed, and Lord Death Angel will kill me."
"It's not your fault." Earl Dooku said, "When General Severance Tann returns, I will make her Admiral of the Confederation of Independent Systems."
"I don't want it anymore. With her talent, she can't be a marshal, unless you want to kill her." Tang Xiao looked at Earl Dooku and replied indifferently.
"Kill her? Of course, it's impossible. This glass, I wish her a safe return." Earl Dooku smiled slightly, picked up the glass and greeted Tang Xiao with a smile, and then drank it down.
After finishing the private banquet with Earl Dooku, Tang Xiao walked out of Earl Dooku's office, which is the conference center of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies on the sub-planet Lasax. Here, the congressmen who had just had dinner were standing in twos and threes on the square outside the parliament center, discussing their own affairs.
At least a hundred eyes looked at Tang Xiao who had just come out of Earl Dooku's office, with a little envy and fear, and then moved away immediately.
Tang Xiao ignored those gazes and prepared to leave.
"Your Excellency Governor Tang." A slightly deep female voice stopped him with a somewhat strange title.
Tang Xiao turned around, only to find that it was a tall woman in her thirties, with a slightly dark complexion and an elegant temperament, with short hair. He nodded with a smile, and took the initiative to greet her and said, "Ah, long time no see, Mina-Bang Senator Terry."
"I think we just met in the parliament hall one standard hour ago." Senator Mina Bontry also smiled politely.
Mina Bontry, a member of the planet Onderon, is also Padmé Amidala's former mentor and current best friend.
"On occasions like the Parliament, it doesn't count." Tang Xiao said, "Actually, I really want to invite you to dinner, but I was too full just now. Why don't you go for a walk?"
Tang Xiao made a gesture of invitation to invite, but he didn't get to the point.
Mina Bontry accepted Tang Xiao's invitation with a smile, moved half a body behind Tang Xiao's side, and walked with Tang Xiao in the beautiful square around the Congress Center.
"Although it's a little presumptuous, I still can't help thinking about what you and Earl Dooku were discussing in private just now." Mina Bontry said, "Please don't mind, I always believe in Earl Dooku's beliefs, believe in He can lead us to defeat the Republic and regain our freedom. So... What worries me the most is that we will not be able to keep up with his heroic footsteps."
Tang Xiao's footsteps stopped, with an elusive expression on his face, he said slowly: "I'm just telling Earl Dooku that we will lose this war."
