8. I need help!
"We, Corellia, merchants. We are looking for furs and rare metals. Please, let us go home." A cylindrical robot translated word by word.
Next to the robot, the three previously captured militants were lying on the table, moaning feebly, and uttering a word from time to time.
Tang Xiao sat across the table in the interrogation room, crossing his legs and watching the performance of the three people. T-850 stood behind him expressionlessly, keeping his feet at shoulder level and his hands behind his back in a standard military stance. posture.
One Earth standard day has passed. During these 24 hours, under the mastermind's request and the beatings of the Marines, the three militants were forced to say countless words for analysis. Maybe even counting the crying as babies, they haven't said as much as they have said on this day since they came out of the mother's womb.
Now the parsing of this language called Galactic Standard has exceeded 40%, and a certain level of conversation can be carried out. But the subsequent analysis of letters, words, and grammar will take some time.
The three armed men had no idea that their miserable future was ahead of them. They were still trying their best to pretend to be miserable, hoping that Tang Xiao, who seemed relatively amiable and young, would be lenient and let them go.
Tang Xiao turned a blind eye to their performance and turned to the translation robot: "Where is the capital of the Galaxy Empire?"
The three of them were a little confused when they heard the translation, and one of them corrected: "The Galactic Republic, not the Empire. Coruscant, the capital."
"So who is the leader of the Jedi Order?" Tang Xiao asked again.
The three of them continued to look confused and shook their heads to express their ignorance.
That's right. Although the Jedi Knights during the Republic had a transcendent status, they acted in a low-key manner and silently guarded the Galactic Republic. The existence of Jedi Knights is mostly just a legend in the minds of ordinary people in the galaxy.
Tang Xiao thought for a while and changed the question, "Who is the speaker of the Galaxy Parliament?"
They still thought for a moment, and then one of them answered: "Finis Valorum."
Tang Xiao's expression changed, and he asked the last question, "Was there ever a war on the planet Naboo?"
The three men shook their heads.
Tang Xiao stood up without saying a word, left the interrogation room and walked towards the bridge.
[The manager has left, let's continue. Please use the most accurate sentence below to describe the appearance of this cat. 】The voice of the mastermind rang out, and several marines with round waists and thick arms walked in and looked at the militants and snorted coldly.
Soon a pitiful wail came from inside the interrogation room.
Returning to the bridge, Tang Xiao sat on the main seat, leaning on the backrest and staring at the ceiling of the command center in trance. Now he has narrowed the current "Star Wars" era to within 30 years, but this result is not happy anyway.
Because in these 30 years, the Milky Way will usher in an unprecedented horrific war and turmoil, and almost every corner of the Milky Way will be involved in the flames of war. In this war, the Galactic Republic, which has a history of more than 25,000 years, ushered in its final destruction.
Tang Xiao began to sort out the "Star Wars" plot in his memory. The speaker of the Republic Assembly is Fenis Valorum, and the war on Naboo has not yet broken out. This is an important node.
Because the Battle of Naboo ultimately resulted in the resignation of former Chancellor Finis Valorum, Sheev Palpatine became the new Chancellor of the Republic. Then... under his conspiracy and planning, 10 years after the Battle of Naboo, the Galactic Republic completely moved towards division and war.
The exploited planets in the outer ring of the Milky Way declared the establishment of the Confederation of Independent Systems and fought against the Galactic Republic. The two sides engaged in an all-out war that lasted for three years. It was called the 'Clone War' because the Galactic Republic used a large number of clone soldiers.
Possibly the greatest conspirator the Star Wars universe has ever known, Sheev Palpatine masterminded all of this, and he used the war to ultimately topple the Galactic Republic, wipe out the Jedi Order, and wipe out the Outer Rim resistance. Sweep away.
Then, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor on the ruins of the Galactic Republic, changing the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire {Note 1}.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiao sighed, feeling his head swelled, and he groaned, "Why is it this darkest age...I can't be Palpatine's opponent...whether it's politics or conspiracy, no matter it's... Personal strength and power are far inferior to...how do you want me to live!"
"Obey him? Join the Galactic Empire and become a pawn of His Majesty the Emperor?" Tang Xiao began to think about this option seriously, but then he sighed, "Impossible. By then, the mothership will definitely be confiscated by him. The countless data in the database will also fall into his hands..."
"Absolutely impossible." Tang Xiao's eyes turned cold, "In the worst case, we will fight to the death with you."
Daphne Clement and Qi Jian hurried over to ask. Tang Xiao shook his head and asked them to go back to work. He looked at the backs of the two men and said to himself: "I need helpers... politicians who can fight Palpatine, yes! Politicians!"
He understands that in the "Star Wars" world, at least for now, the Galactic Council has the final say. What does this mean? You don't need a strong man who can destroy thousands of armies with one hand. No matter how strong your personal strength is, you can't defeat the Death Star or the Star Destroyer! But a politician can make countless Star Destroyers work for him by flipping his lips!
Tang Xiao looked up at the backs of Clement and Qi Jian and shook his head slightly.
They can't.
Clement's major is not in this area at all, so don't expect her to get involved in politics. Qi Jian was born as a staff officer, and he is just an ordinary class person, and his current abilities are still relatively limited.
He also found that most people in the ordinary class are relatively young, while people in the elite class are slightly older, and there are many people in the master class who are 5 or 60 years old.
This shows that this level classification is only based on the person's current achievements. As long as there is enough time and experience, ordinary people can become masters!
But cultivating talents is one thing. If you want to compete with Palpatine, no, you can't say that. Now he is not even qualified to stand on the stage. At least we have to get on the big stage of the Milky Way first, and then we can talk about who to contend with. In this regard, he really needs a politician who is at least a master!
Tang Xiao took a deep breath and started flipping through the list of people who could be awakened. Suddenly, he noticed that the list seemed to have changed! In the past, there were three levels: ordinary, elite, and master, with three question marks behind them.
And now one of the question marks has been displayed, it is the legendary level!
A legendary figure!
"Mastermind! When did you unlock the legendary character?" Tang Xiao asked in surprise.
[After you awaken, manager. If you don't have powerful abilities, legendary level or even higher characters will not be loyal to you. Forcibly awakening them may lead to chaos. Everyone of this level has such abilities, or even worse. 】
