Chapter 153: Rumors of Coruscant

After getting off the Shuttle, Anna looked very cramped, and she followed Tang Xiao very carefully with small steps. He wanted to look around curiously, but he didn't dare to go too far, for fear of provoking someone he shouldn't.

Even if the clothes she was wearing were gorgeous dresses bought at a high price in the commercial center of Planet Corellia, this outfit alone was worth tens of thousands of credits, equivalent to the price of a Fighter, but walking in the middle of the Mothership She still felt like a redneck in town for the first time.

Tang Xiao sent a message to Daphne Clement, asking her to send a female assistant to settle Alia in her bedroom, and then went to the office by herself.

The matter of assembling the fleet has already been left to Qi Jian, he came here mainly because he needs to worry about other things.

After connecting to the communication, Francis Underwood's holographic projection appeared in it. Tang Xiao asked, "The situation on Planet Malastare may intensify. Is there any news in Coruscant?"

Francis smiled and said: "There are a lot of rumors in Coruscant every day, administrator. The dispute between Planet Malastare and the Corporate Alliance is the core of the recent storm, but to understand this storm, one must fully understand the storm."

Tang Xiao nodded for him to continue.

"The root of the current problem of the Galactic Republic is the financial crisis. You heard it right. Although the Galactic Republic has neither major disasters nor large-scale wars, the treasury of the Galactic Republic is becoming increasingly empty," Francies said with a sneer.

"Corruption and embezzlement..." Tang Xiao frowned.

"If you don't say it, no one will know about it." Francis shook his head, "Say it again. Now Finis Valorum is deeply involved in a bribery scandal. He received more than 1 million through a trust fund Credit point bribery, and this news was discovered by Orn Free Taa. After some investigations that were not difficult, the target was locked on an illegal organization, the Nebula Front."

"The Nebula Front is the secret agent of Sheev Palpatine. No one knows their relationship." Tang Xiao sneered.

"Anyway, accepting bribes from an illegal organization is a fatal blow to the speaker of the Galactic Senate. Councilor Orn Free Taa has launched two impeachments in a row, but Supreme Chancellor Valorum is in need of Sheev Palpatine's help to make it through."

"Then?"

"Then Finis Valorum started his plan. In fact, when he came to power, he has been taking taxation from the Outer Rim Star Region and increasing the financial revenue of the Galactic Republic as his policy agenda. To win votes. But the difficulty of this matter can be imagined with your toes. Therefore, when Valorum was about to make a move, those business leaders who had heard the news for a long time started to act first."

"Is this why the Corporate Alliance suddenly increased the fuel tax on Planet Malastare?"

"That's right. The Corporate Alliance uses this to show an attitude to Supreme Chancellor Valorumdon't you want to collect taxes? Yes, I will also collect taxes. When the time comes, let's see who has more influence in the Outer Rim star region."

"So they won't give an inch in this matter, and they must use Planet Malastare to drive Supreme Chancellor Valorum to a desperate situation?"

Francis suddenly showed a strange smile, "But that's the problem... just last year, Planet Nile was besieged by Bislanca pirates, and the Galactic Republic dispatched the Judicial Fleet with great fanfare to completely wipe out this force, and the man behind this expedition...is none other than Sheev Palpatine."
