375The last thing this year (Part 1)

In fact, in the face of the betrayal of Aoun Free-Tower during the speaker election speech, the ring faction fell apart, and Francis Underwood came forward and had a wonderful fight with Palpatine. The debate, and timely signaled to Congressman Tim to withdraw from the race as soon as possible, to avoid his corruption and black materials being exposed and lead to a bigger scandal.

Coupled with Francis' wife, the Outer Ring Planet Mutual Aid Fund, founded by Claire Underwood, has been in constant operation and growing, helping many of the outer ring's backward planets solve their most pressing problems.

This arrangement from the beginning has finally begun to reap great rewards. Some members of the outer ring star region and the original ring faction began to move closer to Francis, and began to initially form a political group.

Among the deputies who fell to Francis, Einle-Tim was headed.

Although Tim was at a loss because of Aoun Free-Ta's defection in the previous speaker election, and he was found to be corrupt and bribery, he is still a veteran and has a high reputation in general. As a politician, his remarks also won the support of many congressmen for Francis.

At a later meeting, Francis Underwood publicly challenged Speaker Palpatine, asking where is the policy he promised before he was elected? Why doesn't the current Republic's policy benefit the Outer Rim? Since there is no benefit, why insist on the policy of the last speaker, Finis Valorum, to levy taxes in the outer ring free trade zone?

Francis Underwood has established a predetermined plot direction from the beginning - Palpatine will gradually push the outer ring star apart in policy, so as to make enough space for the survival of the separatist movement.

With this premise, Francis used this to keep attacking Palpatine, and because he knew the result, every reason he attacked Palpatine was well-founded, and it seemed that it really Go in the direction of his judgment.

This makes Palpatine embarrassed. Although he also wants to split the Galactic Republic, he must not do it himself, but if he wants to stop Francis, he is indirectly preventing his future course of action. .

Therefore, he also gritted his teeth with hatred for Francis, but Francis seemed to have already given up, repeatedly appeared in public, and even publicly declared that he had no bodyguards, and if you want to assassinate, please hurry up!

For a politician, that's basically a life-saver.

Francis is indeed fighting for his life, but he knows that only in this way can he get enough benefits, and he also understands that his behavior is only temporary, and the one that attracts firepower will come soon.

"Stupid bastard! You almost ruined everything! I set it all up for you, but you were beaten by Nebul! Is that the answer you gave me? Useless stuff!" Darth Sidi Erth scolded in the communication.

Newt Gunley shrank into a ball, trembling and flinching, before he said cautiously for a long time: "Lord Sidious, this is the first time that we have used the robot army on such a large scale... It turns out that the way the robot controls the ship is not the same. No. I'll schedule a program upgrade for my subordinate B-1 battle droids right away."

"Is this a robot control ship problem? The real problem is that you just don't have the guts! Every time you only need to take one step forward to solve a problem, you always take two steps back! You'd better tell me, What value is a coward like you to me in the future?" Sidious growled.

Newt Gunley fell to his knees with a thud, begging: "Please give me another chance to prove myself, my lord. I, I will definitely prove my worth! Also... Now that the trade union is struggling, Please help me, Lord, if this goes on like this, I won't be able to be the governor..."

The face under Sidious' cloak showed a twisted expression, "Yes, save you, of course I will save you. Because you only have the advantage of being obedient..."

He paused, then said: "The situation is really serious now. If you can end the battle of Naboo as a winner, it's okay to say, but you lost. Republic Speaker Palpatine will naturally not miss this opportunity. , he wants to prove that he is better than Phoenix Valorum, and your trade union will naturally hit the muzzle. So...there is only one way to survive..."

"What... how?" Newt Gunley asked quickly.

"Hehehe...hehehehe..." Darth Sidious cut off the communication with a grim smile, but didn't answer anything.

Newt Gunley slumped on the ground. After a long time, he picked up the communicator with trembling hands. After searching the list above for a long time, he finally settled on one person.

Fourth Group Director, Gross Shelby.

The communication was connected, and Gross quietly listened to the worries in Newt Gunley's heart, and said lightly: "Do you think the Republic has the ability to threaten you?"

"Why not! The Congress of the Republic wants to cancel our trade privileges! This will cost us a lot!" Newt Gunley exclaimed.

Gross sneered, "The Republic can't even take care of themselves. Does it make a difference whether or not to cancel your trade privileges? Think about the fate of the Republic in the dispute over the planet Malastar."

Newt Gunray shut up, sweat dripping down his face. Because he remembered that in the Battle of Malastar Fjord, the local defense fleet of the Republic was hoisted up and fought by the combined fleet organized by the Enterprise Alliance, and finally the situation was reversed only by the direct action of the Jedi Knights.

At this time, when Gross told him about it, the meaning was already obvious.

"You mean..." Newt Gunray remembered that the Fourth Group also participated in that battle.

"Hmph! I won't pay the fine anyway, the defense fleet cannot be disbanded, and I can sell the battleships. What can the Republic do to me? Anyway, I never thought about going through official channels for my battleships, and the Republic's orders are all Monopolized by the Quarter Power Dockyard, Lundili Interstellar Power Company, and Corellia Engineering Company, I am a black market man, and I need to see the face of his Republic?" Gross snorted coldly.

"But..." Newt Gunley wanted to say that our trade alliance is different from your new company, but after thinking about it, it seems that their situation is really no different, so he choked back the second half of the sentence.

"Anything else, you can go to Dawn Planet's Senator Francis Underwood. In addition, tomorrow the Apocalypse-class light cruiser of Higra Aerospace Group, a subsidiary of our group, will officially start its maiden flight. The maiden flight ceremony you want Are you going to participate?" Gross looked very relaxed, and seemed to ignore the punishment of the Republic at all, and she immediately turned the topic elsewhere.

"Apocalypse class? Is it the kind of light cruiser with a length of more than 300 meters? Yes, yes... I must go, UU reading www.uukanshu.com must go. Please help us reserve the production capacity of 50 Apocalypse class, I will do it tomorrow. Come and place an order, thank you." Newt Gunley was still a little confused, but he still understood a lot of things. For example, after the Battle of Naboo, he also understood the importance of escorting battleships.

And he also understands even more that at this stall, the fourth group with complete battleship design and construction capabilities, even if its size is smaller than their trade alliance, I don't know how many grades, but it still masters the core technology. Powerful group!

In the face of the Republic's punishment and suppression, the fourth group has turned into a thigh that the trade alliance needs to embrace!

"Mr Francis Underwood..." Newt Gunray repeated the name. He knew where the wind was going in Parliament recently, and he understood the meaning behind the name Francis Underwood.

However, it had come to this point, and he had nowhere to go.
