On the second day, Supre Chancellor Sheev Palpatine delivered a speech in the Senate. He once again expressed his hesitation on the issue of war and for negotiations.
"It's sothing I absolutely don't want to see my compatriots in the sa Galaxy fight each other." Palpatine has repeatedly emphasized this point.
But in his speech, he still said that the current situation no longer allows him to wait hopelessly like this, and he must make another preparation. Palpatine told those Senators that he hoped to see the passage of the Military Creation Act, not to increase his power, nor to provoke war, but to prepare the Republic for the worst.
He also hypocritically said that once Count Dooku agreed to start negotiations and the negotiations went smoothly, he would terminate the bill without hesitation and return the power to the Senate.
The "Loyalty Committee" he created in the Senate also began to play a role at this ti, and the Senators in it also began to promote his actions. Under their propaganda, Palpatine has indeed beco the one who has worked hard for peace.
The second vote on the Military Creation Act will take place a week later in GST.
Regarding this bill, the New Rim Faction Senators headed by Francis Underwood expressed strong indignation in comparison with so Senators of the Outer Rim who still remained in the Senate. They claid that if the Senate passed the bill, it would be a violation of democracy and proof that the Republic wanted to wage war on its own initiative.
Francis Underwood even threw the cup directly in the middle of the Senate venue. He loosened his tie, pointed at Palpatine's nose and roared loudly: "If this reactionary bill is passed, then this will be the darkest day in the 25,000-year history of the Galactic Republic!! Because today, you, a dignified Supre Chancellor of the Republic, chose War!!"
"I have repeatedly emphasized that peace is my original intention," Palpatine said with a smile.
"Then stop voting on this bill!"
"Unfortunately, in the end, democracy still has the final say."
"Well, in this case, the day this bill is passed is the day we withdraw from the Senate of the Republic!! Please rember, Sheev Palpatine! It was you! You single-handedly pushed the Republic into War, pushed Towards a split!!" Francis Underwood yelled angrily and then rushed out of the venue without looking back.
Following his leadership, many Senators from the Outer Rim also stood up and left the venue, expressing their opinions.
Back in the office, Francis Underwood took off his tie, straightened his neckline, and asked his Chief of Staff, Douglas Stamper, indifferently: "How was it just now? I feel like I've used too much force."
"I think it's just right under the circumstances, sir." Douglas nodded slightly, showing a sowhat sinister smile, "After you make such a fuss, even if we can't control the overall situation, it will cost Palpatine more to just focus on winning votes."
"This is the last thing I can do." Francis took off his suit and changed into casual clothes. "I will leave Coruscant in the afternoon and return to Dawn. I am worried that if I leave later It's too late, Palpatine won't allow to leave completely. Our final declaration, please co and publish Douglas, as long as I'm not here, Palpatine won't do anything to you." Francis Underwood said.
"Leave it to , sir." Douglas Stamper nodded and replied, "An Agent code-nad 004 already contacted yesterday. Mrs. M from the Intelligence Departnt will guarantee my safety."
...
At the sa ti, the Outer Rim of the Milky Way, Raxus Pri.
A burst of dazzling white light flashed, and five 1,100-ter-long Kol-class Battlecruisers left Hyperspace and entered the Planet's Gravity Well.
Tang Xiao was sitting on the main seat of the Flagship with his legs crossed, with a stern expression, looking at the planet in front of him through the holographic projection.
Severance Tann still stood like a Soldier, her legs standing straight behind Tang Xiao like compasses.
In addition, there are 10 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers accompanying them. This is the Fleet brought by Gross Shelby in the na of the Fourth Group.
Around this small planet, there are already a large number of Fleets gathering.
Among them is a huge Fleet composed of 1 Lucrehulk-class Battleship converted from a Cargo Freighter, 10 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers, and 5 Providence-class Destroyers. The logo on this Fleet shows that it belongs to the Trade Federation.
There is also a Fleet of 30 Munificent-class Frigates, which is the fleet of the Interstellar Banking Clan.
The Techno Union, Comrce Guild, and Corporate Alliance have also brought large-scale Fleets, and their fleets are mainly composed of Recusant-class Light Destroyers and Munificent-class Frigates.
However, this terrifying Fleet that can easily sweep across an entire Star Region is gathered here not to fight, but to... sign an agreent.
The situation between the Outer Rim and the Republic has reached this point, many things have co to the fore, and there is no need to gather quietly like the underground party.
What's more, today's eting is different from usual.
After the Fleets of various Giant Corporations docked in their respective areas, the representatives of each took a Shuttle to a Gigantic Space Port of the Planet of Raxus Pri.
Stepping out of the Shuttle, Tang Xiao looked at San Hill, the Co-Chairman of the Interstellar Banking Clan who also just arrived. They exchanged glances and continued walking towards the venue.
The eting place was not big, and Count Dooku was already waiting at the door, and then more than 30 people ca one after another, and that was the whole eting.
Dawn, Interstellar Banking Clan, Comrce Guild, Trade Federation, Corporate Alliance, Techno Union, Fourth Group, Sy Myrth, Yag'Dhul, Geonosis, etc. have highly developed Industries. The Planets of Systems and the heads of Corporate Giants are among them.
In fact, these more than 30 people are already the only ones who are qualified to attend the eting among the Thousands of Systems in the large Outer Rim that the entire Separatist Movent can radiate.
Seeing Sev'rance Tann following Tang Xiao, Count Dooku couldn't help but take another look, and said with a smile, "If I'm right, this should be a Chiss, right? It looks like Your Excellency Tang Xiao is indeed so powerful that he can even find the Chiss who have never co out of the Unknown Regions, and..."
Count Dooku's face changed slightly, "She's a Force-Sensitive person..."
