Chapter 415: Power
The capital of the Gctic Republic, Coruscant, the Capitol of the Republic.
"I hope the Republic can rule this matter! Dawn colluded with the United Mining Group, illegally built a colony on the Kuna''s Tooth, and illegally mined in Kuna Eye!" Ayrou Senator Muchardis Mxis made the allegations against 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 Dawn has vited." Francis Underwood, Senator of Dawn, respondedzily.
"ording to the Constitution of the Republic, to colonize a 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 Annaj." Francis said.
"And you didn''t even follow the minimum firste, first-served rule!" Muchardis said loudly.
"Firste, first served? This statement is interesting. So we only need to build a broken house on every in the Gxy, and then I can tell everyone who wants toe and develop this "firste, first served"? Hahahaha, this is really a shortcut to getting rich." Francis mocked.
There were bursts ofughter 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 Annaj, which rarely has contact with the Republic, the political influence of the two Ispletely different.
"This situation ispletely 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 tform, and said through gritted teeth: "Let me tell you something interesting! Let''s get started! The Ayrou Civilization, who originated from the Maya Kovel, are the first race in the Morddell Sector to have Interster Navigation Capabilities! After you have mastered the Technology of Interster Navigation, you began to expand in the Moddell Sector. On Ovise III, and Thonner established Huge Ship Foundaries, established a Colony on Vashan, and finally upied the Largest Habitable in the Moddell Star District, 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 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 evenmitted to helping the rest of the Gxy! Whens are in trouble, even we ourselves have to tighten our belts to help! I can tell you in a responsible manner thatst year, Dawn exported 4 Billion Tons of Grain! Calcted 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 Annaj doing? Expansion in your ''sphere of influence''?"
"You..."
"Me? I can tell you! What I saw was a powerful race upying nearly 10s with a total poption of more than 5 Billion, showing off its power in front of a race with a total poption 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 Gctic 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!!" Mstare Senator Ainlee Teem was the first to jump up and apud loudly. Driven by him, arge 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 Gctic Republic going to condone such an act of aggression?"
"Unfortunately, Senator Muchardis. Both Kuna''s Tooth and Kuna''s Eye are uninhabiteds with no intelligent natives, and the influence of the Ayrou on these twos has not exceeded 30%, so the Colonization and Mining of Dawn do not vite thews of the Republic." Supreme Chancellor Palpatine said slowly.
"This is unreasonable!" Muchardis scolded loudly, "When we Ayrou joined the Gctic 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 Gctic Republic, our spheres of influence will be affected instead?!"
"This is thew 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 tform to fly towards the exit, ready to leave.
"So you want to use ''Power'' to solve the problem? Don''t forget, this is the Gctic Republic! No Power is wee 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 Dawn actually consider itself weak? Compared with the Ayrou, who are you?" What about ''Power''?"
"As we have always insisted, 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 twentiethint."
"Governor, I think Canidi''s behavior in Kuna''s Tooth has indeed damaged the reputation of our Fourth Civilization. If necessary, it is rmended to rece it." Chief of Staff Qi Jian said.
"I object. Canidi''s opinion is very correct. We must be cautious inunching any war, especially since our target is the overlord of the Moddell Sector, the Ayrou Civilization. Their poption 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 dyed. 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 Gctic 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 remotemunication, 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 Kuna''s Tooth. In order to strengthen his authority, I am going to issue an official announcement and stress that again."
"This may dy our colonization process in the Kuna''s Tooth System." Qi Jian said in a deep voice.
"No... I just think that things will be very interesting." Tang Xiao smiled, "Maybe what Candi insisted on is exactly what we need."
