Power

The Capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant.

"I hope the Republic can rule this matter! Planet Dawn colluded with the United Mining Group, illegally built a colony on the Planet Kuna's Tooth, and illegally mined in Kuna Eye!" Ayrou Senator Muchardis Mulaxis made the allegations against Planet Dawn in the Senate.

"Before you bring charges against us, I hope you can read the Constitution of the Republic carefully and see which article Planet Dawn has violated." Francis Underwood, Senator of Planet Dawn, responded lazily.

"According to the Constitution of the Republic, to colonize a planet you must obey the rights of the original owner!"

"That's for the Aborigines, so you want to say that the Ayrou Civilization are the Aborigines of Kuna's Tooth? If that's the case, then we can colonize Planet Annaj." Francis said.

"And you didn't even follow the minimum first-come, first-served rule!" Muchardis said loudly.

"First come, first served? This statement is interesting. So we only need to build a broken house on every planet in the Galaxy, and then I can tell everyone who wants to come and develop this "first come, first served"? Hahahaha, this is really a shortcut to getting rich." Francis mocked.

There were bursts of laughter in the Senate.

Francis can be said to be an influential figure in the Senate now, and he can be said to have a lot of supporters behind him. Compared with the Ayrou Civilization of Planet Annaj, which rarely has contact with the Republic, the political influence of the two Is completely different.

"This situation is completely different! The Kuna Star Cluster is the sphere of influence of our Ayrou Civilization!" Muchardis was naturally not the opponent of the eloquent Francis, and he began to speak forcefully.

"'Range of influence'? This is very interesting!" Francis stood up abruptly, he bit the word "interesting" extremely hard, propped his hands on the Anti-Gravity Platform, and said through gritted teeth: "Let me tell you something interesting! Let's get started! The Ayrou Civilization, who originated from the Planet Maya Kovel, are the first race in the Morddell Sector to have Interstellar Navigation Capabilities! After you have mastered the Technology of Interstellar Navigation, you began to expand in the Moddell Sector. On Planet Ovise III, and Planet Thonner established Huge Ship Foundaries, established a Colony on Planet Vashan, and finally occupied the Largest Habitable Planet in the Moddell Star District, Planet Annaj!"

"So what! This is the result of the hard work of our ancestors!"

Francis pointed to his nose and said solemnly: "How is it? The origin of Planet Dawn is just a group of war refugees! With our own efforts, we have established our own home in the Endor System, and we have also cooperated with the Aborigines. The Ewoks are good friends, and now the Ewoks are officially part of us! We have worked hard all the way, from scratch, to make our home a little bit better! We are even committed to helping the rest of the Galaxy! When Planets are in trouble, even we ourselves have to tighten our belts to help! I can tell you in a responsible manner that last year, Planet Dawn exported 4 Billion Tons of Grain! Calculated on the basis of one person's annual consumption of 0.5 tons of Grain, this means we feed 8 Billion People! At the same time, what is your Planet Annaj doing? Expansion in your 'sphere of influence'?"

"You..."

"Me? I can tell you! What I saw was a powerful race occupying nearly 10 Planets with a total population of more than 5 Billion, showing off its power in front of a race with a total population of no more than 5 Million! We want to transform the atmosphere of Kuna's Tooth, this is a matter of great merit, but you are telling us about the "sphere of influence"? Since the founding of the Galactic Republic, our country's founding principle is to defy and resist power! Infinite Empire, Eternal Empire, Sith Empire These powers have been defeated by us! Now, in front of the power of the Ayrou Civilization, I want to say that we will fight to the end!!" Francis said impassionedly.

"Well said!!" Malastare Senator Ainlee Teem was the first to jump up and applaud loudly. Driven by him, a large number of Senators from the New Ring Faction and Senators from the Outer Ring and Central Star Districts also stood up to express their support for Francis.

Senator Muchardis was furious, and he said loudly to the old god, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who was sitting in the middle: "Is the Galactic Republic going to condone such an act of aggression?"

"Unfortunately, Senator Muchardis. Both Planet Kuna's Tooth and Planet Kuna's Eye are uninhabited planets with no intelligent natives, and the influence of the Ayrou on these two Planets has not exceeded 30%, so the Colonization and Mining of Planet Dawn do not violate the laws of the Republic." Supreme Chancellor Palpatine said slowly.

"This is unreasonable!" Muchardis scolded loudly, "When we Ayrou joined the Galactic Republic 20 years ago, the Kuna Star Cluster, the Zuma Star Cluster and the Moddell Star Area were our spheres of influence since ancient times! Why? After joining the Galactic Republic, our spheres of influence will be affected instead?!"

"This is the law of the Republic, and I'm sorry, Senator Muchardis," Palpatine said, shaking his head.

"If this is the case! We Ayrou will defend our 'spheres of influence' in our own way!" Muchardis was furious, dropped this sentence, and controlled the Anti-Gravity Platform to fly towards the exit, ready to leave.

"So you want to use 'Power' to solve the problem? Don't forget, this is the Galactic Republic! No Power is welcome here!" Francis didn't think it was enough and added fuel to the fire.

After Muchardis left, Palpatine looked at Francis and asked with a sneer: "Since when did Planet Dawn actually consider itself weak? Compared with the Ayrou, who are you?" What about 'Power'?"

"As we have always insisted, Planet Dawn yearns for peace, and is also very willing to contribute to the Republic," Francis responded with a smile.

Looking at the document in front of him, Tang Xiao said with a faint smile: "It seems that the Pioneering Group has a lot of opinions on Volgograd Canidi. Look, this is the twentieth complaint."

"Governor, I think Canidi's behavior in Kuna's Tooth has indeed damaged the reputation of our Fourth Civilization. If necessary, it is recommended to replace it." Chief of Staff Qi Jian said.

"I object. Canidi's opinion is very correct. We must be cautious in launching any war, especially since our target is the overlord of the Moddell Sector, the Ayrou Civilization. Their population and control area far exceeds ours." Administration Minister Daphne Clement said.

"But if you say that, you don't actually deny the possibility of war." Baron Helmut Zemo chuckled.

"The difficulty of the war depends on our preset goals for this war. For now, we are capable of defeating the Ayrou Civilization in a short period of time, but the war must not be delayed. Otherwise, we will fall into a protracted war and we will not be able to win." General Xian Hui, Commander-In-Chief of the Army, said.

"Everyone, this is in the Galactic Republic. Even if a war is to be waged, the republic will be required to arbitrate in the end. I hope everyone understands this." Francis Underwood, who participated in the meeting via remote communication, said.

Tang Xiao nodded and said: "I have decided to continue to retain the position of Volgograd Canidi, and will not interfere with any of his measures on Planet Kuna's Tooth. In order to strengthen his authority, I am going to issue an official announcement and stress that again."

"This may delay our colonization process in the Kuna's Tooth System." Qi Jian said in a deep voice.

"No... I just think that things will become very interesting." Tang Xiao smiled, "Maybe what Candi insisted on is exactly what we need."
