Chapter 334: The Arrow Is On The String

Tang Xiao walked out of the box, took the Shuttle directly to the Mothership Glory, and came to the meeting room. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Baron Helmut Zemo, Ni Yongxiao, and Qi Jian are already waiting in the meeting room. In the holographic projection, Francis Underwood, Claire Underwood, and Gross Shelby also participate remotely meeting.

Seeing Tang Xiao coming in, everyone stood up and saluted.

Francis Underwood said: "Just two standard hours ago, the negotiations between the Galactic Republic and the Trade Federation failed completely. Nute Gunray rejected all the proposals proposed by Vinis Valorum. The motion to levy a district tax is firmly opposed and rejects all mediation. Now, Nute Gunray and the Trade Federation delegation have left Coruscant."

"The Trade Federation must be ready." Tang Xiao nodded, looked at Baron Zemo and asked, "How is the situation on Planet Naboo?"

"At about the same time, Nute Gunray's deputy, Rune Haako, also withdrew from the negotiations with Planet Naboo, and they refused to re-sign the trade agreement." Baron Zemo said.

"The financial situation of Planet Naboo absolutely cannot allow that unequal trade agreement to continue. Now there is only one way for the new Queen." Tang Xiao frowned.

Francis shook his head, crossing his hands on the table, "No, in fact, she can't even go through this last path. Although she has formally proposed a bill to the Galactic Republic Senate, hoping that the Republic will mediate this matter, the Republic Senate will not come forward."

"If a country does this, it can only be said that their end is their own fault." Ni Yongxiao said with a stern face, "However, they are not afraid of the Trade Federation, right? What caused Vinis Valorum to reject the motion?"

"This matter is no longer a matter of fear or not." Francis said: "Because if we continue to move forward, there will only be war, and the Republic cannot be the party that provokes the war. What's more, even if Vinis Valorum wants to go to war, with whom? A company? Is the Judicial Fleet allowed?"

Tang Xiao stretched out his index finger and tapped lightly on the table. He was silent for a while before speaking: "Whether it is the prophecy I saw or the development of things, the war on Planet Naboo will inevitably break out. So now our topic is, Planet Naboo, to what extent do we need to intervene in the dispute over Planet?"

"Maybe great love can really make a person extremely powerful, but obviously, for Padm, the dominant emotion in Anakin's heart is fear. He is too afraid of losing, and it is this fear that makes him not get any stronger. So, I don't think we should add more variables to him, especially now that we've lost control of Anakin."

Tang Xiao nodded.

Previously, due to a series of unexpected events, Jabba the Hutt and Gardulla the Hutt on Planet Tatooine almost fought an all-out war, and Mos Espa Port was severely damaged. In addition, the strength of the Fourth Civilization was too weak at that time, and it did not have the ability to find someone in the vast Tatooine.

As a result, he has not been able to find the whereabouts of Anakin Skywalker, the son of the Chosen, and he lives in Mos Espa Port, and his life and death are now uncertain. This has always been a heart problem for Tang Xiao.

If the bond between Force and destiny really exists, then the only way to let the war on Planet Naboo break out and end...

"Then I'm sure again, if we help the Trade Federation occupy Planet Naboo without considering Anakin Skywalker, what good will it do us?" Tang Xiao asked in a deep voice.

"It has no effect on the outcome of the Republic, but it is very good for Palpatine. But this result is not good for us." Baron Zemo replied decisively.

"Then let's be sure. When the Trade Federation decides to attack, we will send military observers. Other than that, we will not directly participate in the war." Tang Xiao stood up and made a decision directly, "Let's adjourn the meeting."

"Wait a minute, Governor." Gross Shelby said suddenly, "Are you interested in participating in an auction?"

Tang Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I don't think this is the occasion to propose a date, Representative Shelby."

Gross Shelby took out a bronzing invitation card and put it in front of the projection for Tang Xiao to see clearly, "This is an invitation card from Mrs. Xev Xrexus. The auction object is... a Jedi Padawan."

Tang Xiao immediately stamped his feet, looked at the invitation card in the projection, and suddenly seemed to think of something, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
