Tang Yu stood to the side and watched Count Dooku, who was looking through all kinds of documents on his desk. He did not say a word. Count Dooku did not get distracted. He carefully looked through the documents one by one and made comments on each one. From time to time, he would ask for Tang Yu's opinion, but he did not care why Tang Yu had suddenly appeared in his office.
Count Dooku turned to the side and pointed at a document. "About every planet in the Confederation having to sign a Transportation Trusteeship Agreement with the Trade Federation, what do you think?"
"From an emotional point of view, we should reject this proposal directly. But … "Tang Yu flipped through the document." If we reject it, it may affect the progress of our war and alert the enemy ahead of time. So from another perspective, this is just an agreement. What's the harm in agreeing to it? "
A satisfied smile appeared on Count Dooku's face. He pushed the computer in front of him and stood up. He nodded and said, "You've learned a lot recently. At the end of the day, politics is about balance. You have to weigh the benefits of every aspect and get the results you want at the lowest cost. Yes, it's easy for us to suppress the Trade Federation and reject their proposal now that we have a winning streak. But if we really do that, we'll just be boorish men. "
As he spoke, he walked to the side and picked up a glass of red wine to take a sip. He continued, "You can never be stronger than everyone in every field. There will always be people who will find a way to hurt you. Wanting to swallow all the benefits in one go will only exist in fantasy. That's why politics exists. Tell me, what do you want to say to me? "
Tang Yu smiled faintly and said, "I mainly want to ask you, when do you plan to kill Emma Frost?"
Count Dooku's expression did not change. He said calmly, "I don't remember teaching you this."
"But this day will come. Facing this choice now is far better than making a choice later," Tang Yu said.
"Emma is my favorite student. Why would I kill her? Isn't that cutting off my own arm? "Count Dooku's face darkened.
"You know the reason."
"I don't want to speak in riddles! I want to tell you that not only is there no basis for what you say, but you may also lose my trust completely! "Count Dooku said sternly. He was obviously angry.
"Then I'll ask you directly. If Darth Sidious asks you to kill your student Emma Frost, how will you react? The honorable Darth Tyranus. "Tang Yu stood in front of Count Dooku and stared him straight in the eyes.
Count Dooku heard of this, but the anger on his face instantly disappeared. He smiled and said, "It seems like you know more than I thought."
"Although the Guardian planet has been shrouded by the electromagnetic nebula of Sector BY-419 for thousands of years, it doesn't mean that we know nothing about the outside world. At the very least, we know a lot about Sith, "Tang Yu said seriously.
"Since you think you know a lot about Sith, why would you ask such a childish question?" Count Dooku retorted.
"I'm not the one who's being naive, at least not on this question." Tang Yu took a step forward and stood in front of Dooku. "Because you are still a Jedi Knight. You are not a pure Sith. You will never understand the most important point of the Way of the Sith. "
"It seems like you've grown very quickly. You've reached the point where you think you can teach me," Count Dooku said mockingly.
Tang Yu shook his head and said, "My respect for you has never changed, Count Dooku. The reason I came to you today is because of the victory of the Battle of Murkana. After this victory, the Republic lost more than a hundred warships. Admiral Tarkin's godly assistance in ordering the orbital bombardment and the slaughter of more than seven hundred million civilians is the key. Once the news spreads, there will be changes in at least three aspects. "
Dooku did not speak. He only stared coldly at Tang Yu.
"First, the Hutts. They have always been on the fence. After seeing the results of this battle, it is inevitable that they will have some ulterior motives. Second, the neutral faction led by the Mandalorians. If the news of the Republic's orbital bombardment reaches them, it will have a huge impact on their political stance. Lastly, the Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Company! The Republic has lost a large number of warships and is in urgent need of replenishment. The Kuat Kinetic Docks should have realized that they alone cannot win this war. However, they will not give up their monopoly on the Republic's market. So, whether to take the opportunity to stick to the cold shoulder of the Republic and get a share of the spoils from Kuat, or to make other plans, Lendili has an important choice in front of him. "
As he spoke, Tang Yu leaned over and placed his hands on the desk. He stared at Count Dooku and said, "But you did nothing. Not only did you not do anything, but you also withdrew all your teams. But forgive me for being blunt, but in this war, you can do much more than that. "
"Have you ever thought that after saying such treacherous words, you might not be able to walk out of this office, and you might even bring disaster to the Guardian Planet?" Count Dooku said expressionlessly.
"The Sith system is a two-man system. There will only be one High Lord and one Apprentice at a time. As for why this is so, it is precisely because the creator of the two-man system, Darth Bane, has clearly understood that the true essence of the path of the Sith is — betrayal. "Tang Yu slowly spat out the last two words.
Count Dooku looked at Tang Yu. Tang Yu did not speak, only staring back at him. The two did not give way to each other. They stared at each other for at least five minutes before Dooku waved his hand and said with slight exhaustion, "Right now, a Republic fleet is rampaging through our hinterland. They have already conquered three planets, including Hybori. Their next target should be Planet Geonosis. Go and get ready to destroy this fleet. Oh, right, their commander is Anakin Skywalker. "
Tang Yu knew when to stop and did not dwell on this topic. He nodded and said, "Leave it to me." After saying that, he turned and left the office.
Count Dooku looked at the direction in which Tang Yu had left, and his expression began to become complicated. After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he stood up, opened the secret room behind the office wall, and walked in. Tang Yu's words were deeply imprinted in his heart. He wanted to confirm something!
After turning on a special communicator, Count Dooku knelt on one knee in front of the holographic projection that appeared in front of him. He said in a low voice, "The battle on Planet Murkana has ended. Planet Umbara will also persevere with our support. Please give further instructions, High Lord. "
"Hehehehe … This battle has already ended for a few days, and you only remembered to report to me now?" A twisted laughter spread throughout the secret room. Darth Sidious laughed for a while, then slowly said, "But you did well, Darth Tyranus. To be exact, you did better than I expected! This battle has brought us closer to our goal! But I have a little doubt. Do you really think of me as your High Lord? "
Count Dooku lowered his head deeply. "Of course. It was you, High Lord, who showed me a whole new world, a whole new order. In order to achieve your goal, I am willing to sacrifice everything. "
"But I feel that you seem to want to replace me? Am I right, Darth … Tyranus? "Sidious said slowly.
Count Dooku's body trembled, and he quickly said, "Absolutely not! Perhaps I have given different opinions because of some strategies, but my loyalty to you has never changed! "
"Your proud disciple, Emma Frost, has been very active recently, and I am very pleased. Perhaps letting her become Sith's disciple, and you, as the High Lord of Sith, is the most suitable choice, am I right? Perhaps you are already thinking of an official name for her, right? Perhaps, Darth Tracy? "
"Your disciple never meant that!" Dooku's heart was beating wildly, and his back was drenched in cold sweat. He quickly explained loudly, "Emma is just a good tool. She will be of great help in our war. But I have never treated her as my successor! The Sith apprentice after me can only be the Chosen One! "
"In that case, prove your loyalty, Darth Tyranus." Darth Sidious's voice became low and slow, like a heavy hammer pounding on Count Dooku's heart. "Kill, Emma Frost …"
