131. First meeting
Master Dooku nodded slightly and said, "I am very happy to be able to see such a dynamic person like you in such a decadent Galactic Republic. It's great."
"Master Dooku cares about the people and is a role model for us." Claire complimented.
"Are you from the planet Endor?" Master Dooku suddenly changed his subject and asked.
"The planet Endor has now been renamed the planet Dawn. We just completed the registration three days ago." Claire answered.
"The fourth group, refugees from an unknown human planet, eh." Master Dooku still smiled seriously, "I like your speech very much, and I also like the Dawn Planet. I will pay attention to you."
After saying that, he turned around and left directly.
Claire Underwood was left standing there holding a glass of wine, looking at his back in deep thought.
Outside the luxury hotel, many reporters also gathered here, shooting the interior of the hotel from all angles. Reporters with a keen sense of smell smelled the explosive smell almost immediately.
After the banquet ended, all the reporters outside the door rushed out like sharks that smelled something fishy.
Most of the lawmakers and officials left directly under the protection of bodyguards, and only a few people stayed in place to be interviewed. One of them is Rodia's Congressman Onaconda-Fal. He keeps appealing to reporters, hoping to convey the famine on Rodia through the voice of media public opinion.
Claire Underwood also stayed for the interview, and she seemed to be enjoying it.
"Hello, Ms. Claire, I am a reporter from Galaxy Times. What is the purpose of the mutual aid fund for the outer planets of the Milky Way that you initiated?"
"The planet Dawn where I am is a new colony established by war refugees. I can deeply understand the pain caused by backwardness and poverty. I hope that such pain will become less and less in the galaxy."
"Ms. Claire, Ms. Claire! This is Nebula Radio. Your actions have obviously affected the interests of the Trade Federation. Their recent plan to impose transportation surcharges on Rodia completely failed. Are you telling me this? Has the Trade Federation declared war?”
"I have no intention of declaring war on anyone. My original intention is entirely for peace. I just hope that fewer and fewer people will suffer from hunger and poverty. If the Trade Federation still brings benefits to the galaxy as they claim, If it is convenient, I believe they will understand this approach.”
"Ms. Claire! This is the Coruscant Current Affairs Network. We are completely unfamiliar with the Dawn Planet. Where is this planet located?"
"The planet Dawn was originally called the planet Endor and is located in the Endor system. We are a colony established by a group of refugees and have established good relations with the local indigenous Ewok people. Through our unremitting efforts, our colony is growing little by little. .”
"Ms. Claire! Then will you push for Dawn Planet to join the Galactic Republic Council?"
"I look forward to this very enthusiastically, but I dare not hope for it at this stage. Enable our people to have enough to eat and wear warm clothes is still the number one goal of our colony."
…
[...Where will the future of Dawn Planet and the Galaxy Western Outer Rim Planet Mutual Aid Fund go? Let's stay tuned. This is Galactic Republic Nebula Radio, Huey reporting for you. 】
With a click, a thin but well-maintained hand stretched out to turn off the holographic projection TV. A somewhat bald man in his 50s looked out the window and began to think deeply.
Sheev Palpatine, member of the Galactic Republic, planet Naboo.
"Planet Dawn...Planet Endor...Model Sector..." He repeated several terms in his mouth, as if trying to find a connection.
Then, he turned on the communicator, and a tall and upright figure appeared in the holographic projection.
Palpatine smiled very politely and said: "Master Dooku, the last time you went to the Model sector, except for the colonization of the Endor system, did you find nothing else?"
"Are you also paying attention to this matter? Senator Palpatine." Master Dooku asked.
"If you ask me to describe it, this Milky Way Outer Sector Mutual Aid Fund is like a firefly in the dark. Although the light is weak, it brings us a glimmer of hope." Palpatine replied.
Master Dooku nodded and said: "The bounty hunters I sent to the Model sector did not find anything else. Later, after they found the colonial group in the Endor system, they became malicious and wanted to rob the colonial group. . Finally, he was eliminated by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi who happened to be present."
Palpatine changed the topic and suddenly said: "I think the Jedi Order should also conduct a census of Force-sensitive people on the Dawn Planet?"
"I don't pay much attention to the Jedi Order anymore," Dooku said.
"But at least you're still a Jedi Master."
"You are very concerned about the planet Dawn, Mr. Congressman."
"Because they are the fresh blood of the Republic and have put forward proposals that interest me very much. Their enthusiasm has brought light to this decadent Galactic Republic once again."
"So, you want to push them into the Galactic Republic Council?"
"Why not? I'd love to see Ms Clare's brilliant speech in Parliament."
"Then in that case, I will do my best for you. I will remind Master Yoda to conduct a census of Force-sensitive people on the planet Dawn."
Turning off the communication, Palpatine cursed secretly, "Idiot! Can you detect the disturbance in the Force by sending a few bounty hunters? And it was preempted by the Jedi Order! But the Jedi Order should not have it either. What kind of discovery is right..."
He shook his head, then pressed the button on the table and said to the other side: "Please come in, Mr. Francis."
After a moment, the office door slid open silently, and Francis Underwood walked in.
The smile on Palpatine's face became extremely kind. He walked up and took Francis's hand with both hands and said: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Francis. I was just watching Ms. Clare's speech. , I was impressed by her eloquence.”
Francis also smiled and responded: "Mr. Congressman, I am also reading your works. Compared to me, you who have become a member of the Galaxy Parliament step by step are our best role model."
"Let's get straight to the point. I know why you're here, Mr. Francis. Regarding the Mutual Aid Fund for Planets in the Outer Rim of the Galaxy, this is a great thing for the Galactic Republic. Regarding this matter, I am naturally..." Pal The expression on Patin's face became a little subtle, "I will fully support it."
