Chapter 290: All According To Plan
"The Fourth Group? It's them again!" Finis Valorum suddenly remembered that during the first-day meeting of the Eriadu Business Summit, someone had revealed that a group was using combat images of the Galactic Republic fleet to fight advertisement, and this is the Fourth Group!
"That is to say, this time the Yinchorris launched a foreign war, and the Fourth Group is behind it?" Finis Valorum only felt his rise, "How dare they do this!! Summon the representative of the Fourth Group immediately!! Tell her to come and see me immediately!!"
"The Fourth Group is one aspect. The question now is how to deal with the Yinchorri invasion?" Palpatine asked.
"Immediately issue an official warning to the Yinchorris. If they don't withdraw their troops, they will be severely sanctioned by the Galactic Republic!" Finis Valorum said loudly.
"Exactly. Given that the Yinchorris have now shut down their hypercommunication frequency, we should send an embassy," Palpatine said.
"Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend? Senator Palpatine." Valorum asked, "Or this time we will let the special envoy of the Jedi Order? The last time between the Kaleesh and the Yam'rii The mediation of the Jedi Knights played a very good role in the war."
"It is not suitable at present, Your Excellency Supreme Chancellor. Gzin Company is an illegal enterprise and is not protected by the Constitution of the Republic, so there is no room for the Jedi Order to intervene. Therefore, my suggestion is to send an envoy to go there." Palpatine replied.
"Who is more appropriate to send?"
"I think Aqualish, a member of the Ando System, is a good candidate." Palpatine directly reported a name, "As a member of the outer ring planets, Aqualish is good enough eloquence to persuade the Yinchorris."
"Then do this, Amedda, you draft a formal statement," Valoren said to the Deputy Chancellor Mas Amedda who has been silent.
"Yes."
At this moment, the door of the office was opened, and Gross Shelby, the representative of the Fourth Group, walked in, and saluted Valoren, Almeda, and Palpatine in a very decent way, "Your Excellency, are you looking for me?" ?"
"The Fourth Group's business is very big." Finis Valorum was angry, and naturally, he didn't have a good face.
The levitation vehicle arrived at the mansion of Planet Dawn Senator Francis Underwood at an astonishing speed. Shelby rushed in and saw Underwood talking to Claire Underwood.
"...In the name of the Outer Rim Planet Mutual Aid Fund, rescue the planet Jabiim. This is an excellent opportunity to expand our influence in the Outer Rim star region... Ms. Shelby, why did you come here suddenly?" Francis Underwood looked at Douglas Stamper, chief of staff who was following Shelby, with displeased eyes.
Douglas Stamper shrugged innocently. After all, Shelby has a high status and everyone is very close. Naturally, he has no reason to keep her out of the door.
Next, after listening to Shelby's narration, Francis shook his head and said: "First of all, you should not seek public discussion in the Senate, and second, you should not come to me directly. If my guess is correct, the information you came directly to discuss with me is already on Sheev Palpatine's desk."
Although Shelby is only about 30 years old, she is already the top choice in terms of ability and IQ. She immediately figured out why, and her face turned pale, "Oops!... Damn...This time, the first time the Four Group is really going to suffer this knife!"
"It doesn't matter. Since we're here, let's have a good discussion about why Senator Palpatine would suddenly attack us." Francis said very calmly.
Claire poured a few glasses of champagne with a tacit understanding and brought them over on a tray to each of the people present.
Shelby took a sip of her wine and calmed down, "We have always been very cautious. This time, whether it is selling weapons or Transport Ships, it is the official way. Such transactions are not known every day in the Milky Way. How much happened, but Supreme Chancellor Valorum has been staring at us..."
"There is no doubt that when he was angry, Senator Palpatine took the opportunity to push you out. Therefore, this is the result of his deliberate deliberation, and you cannot escape." Francis crossed his legs. Francis said crossing his hands on his knees relaxedly, "The question is, why?"
"I really don't know..."
"Palpatine's mind is the deepest among the people I've ever seen. In fact, if it wasn't for the reminder from His Excellency the Governor, I think it would be difficult for me to see through his essence. Therefore, whether it is you or me, you should It's hard to understand the real reason for his behavior." Francis suddenly changed the subject, "This arms sale should be directly ordered by His Excellency the Governor, right?"
"That's right."
"Then just ask the Governor."
