Chapter 223: 33BBY


    Another year has passed in the Milky Way in chaos. During this year, turmoil broke out in many ces in the Milky Way, making the already precarious Republic even more shaky.


    Disputes between the Mstare and the Enterprise Alliance, followed by the Battle of the Mstare;


    The conflict between Jabba the Hutt and Gardu broke out on the Tatooine, and a direct confrontation broke out between the two;


    A famine broke out on the Rodia, and a brain gue broke out on the Jabiim;


    The king of Naboo, Ars Veruna, was involved in a series of scandals and finally announced his abdication;


    The ck Sun was suddenly attacked by the Interster Banking Association, the Fourth Group, and the Enterprise Alliance, and conflicts broke out almost simultaneously on hundreds ofs;


    A mysterious Sojourn was suddenly blown up for unknown reasons;


    The conflict between the conservatives and the technological movement intensified on the Cerea and finally, a civil war broke out...


    In addition, there are many other things happened, such as the Hark suddenly invaded the homnd of the Kali, and the two sides immediately entered a state of all-out war; the Injoli tried to seek greater political and military status, etc...


    Coruscant, the capital of the Gctic Republic, is no longer peaceful, and the position of the speaker, Finis Valorum, is in jeopardy. After a series of stupid operations, hepletely lost the support of the judicial fleet and became a toothless tiger. And Deputy Chancellor Botan, who has supported him for more than ten years, is being impeached.


    In contrast, the outer rings are the main ones, and the ring faction members who seek to have more rights and interests in the outer rings are bing more and more powerful. They have made a loud voice in the Gctic Senate. The impeachment of Deputy Chancellor Botan is theirs provoked first.


    At the same time, the Naboo member Sheev Palpatine, who had great prestige in the parliament, was steadily improving his influence.


    With the passing of the old year (34BBY) and ushering in the new year, many suffering people in the gxy are making wishes and praying that in the new year, the chaos will be corrected, hoping that their lives will be better and the gxy will return to peace.


    But this is destined to be just wishful thinking...


    The conflicts that broke out before were just some manifestations of the intensification of conflicts, but they were far from reaching the time of real detonation.


    In 33BBY, the main contradictions in the Gctic Republic have been reflected in the contradictions between the inner ring, the core and the outer ring, as well as the contradiction between the government of the Republic and the corporate giants!


    Trade Alliances, Enterprise Alliances, Interster Banking Associations, Commercial Guilds, and Technology Alliances, the leading Trust Groups in the gxy [Note 1] are bing more and more powerful. Their tentacles not only extend into all aspects of the economy and people''s livelihood, but also in There are also many supporters in the Gctic Senate, and the power and money transactions are almost unscrupulous.


    It is also because of them that the Gctic Republic almost lost its influence on the outer rings, which made the members of the Ring faction more and more dissatisfied with the status quo of the Republic. In other words, this has truly affected the unity of the Gctic Republic!


    But in fact, almost no one can see clearly, the domineering corporate giants, the chaos of the outer ring, all these things, there are people manipting them behind the scenes!


    It''s like saying, when you see a ping pong ball, you will understand that it is spherical, but when you look down at your feet, you can''t tell the truth that you are also standing on a ball.


    When a conspiracy is big enough, no one will think it is a conspiracy!


    The Supreme Chancellor of the Gctic Senate, Finis Valorum, will never know that instigating the continuous outbreak of turmoil on the outer rings, secretly supporting corporate giants to make them stronger, and constantly provoking incidents has made the Jedi Order more and more involved in these conflicts. At the same time, he was still boasting about his loyalty to the Republic in the parliament, and pushing him to speed up the process of taxing the outer ring...


    They are all written by the same person or two people!


    One person ns, and one person executes...


    And they are the greatest enemies of the Gctic Republic, the Sith!


    It was Darth gueis who nned it all, and Darth Sidious who executed it all.


    In front of the public, one of them is the influential financial tycoon Hego Damask II, and the other is the highly respected member of the parliament, Sheev Palpatine.


    With the old year finally over, the Gctic Republic, under their toy, is heading towards the end step by step.


    ...


    The capital of the Gctic Republic, Coruscant, 33BBY.


    In the Gctic Senate building, in the office of Supreme Councillor Finis Valorum, Deputy Councillor Botan, and Naboo Senator Sheev Palpatine are sitting together to discuss in a low voice.


    "I hope this business summit can allow us to reach a certain consensus with the Trade Federation and the Enterprise Alliance, Senator Palpatine, what do you think?" Finis Valorum asked.


    There is always that warm smile on Palpatine''s face, "It''s great to be able to start the dialogue. I conveyed the meaning to the Governor of the Trade Federation through some rtionships, and I think they are willing to participate. However, if you want to We need to expand the scope of the meeting if we want to move forward with the Outer Rim taxation bill."


    "Tell me your opinion."


    "The Enterprise Alliance is sure to participate. In addition, we can invite giants such as the Interster Banking Association and the Commercial Guild, as well as some smaller organizations. I think the Gctic Republic still has enough deterrents for these powerful organizations," Palpatine said.


    Finis Valorum said: "Very well, just do as you want. The and venue for the summit must be arranged as soon as possible. In the recent period, I have worked hard for you."


    "Where, this is what I should do." Palpatine said with a smile, "In addition, this matter still needs to rely on the energy of Deputy Councillor Botan. The elders are here to hold the line."


    Valorum nodded and said to Botan: "I hope so too, Botan. We have been working together for more than ten years, and you have been under too much pressure recently. You put down the things in hand first, and Palpatine, Mr. Ting will go to theses together, just to rx. We have already inquired about all aspects of this summit, and it will definitely be a sessful summit. With this sessful experience, I believe you should run smoothly through the end of his term and retire."


    Deputy Councillor Botan smiled wryly and said, "I will do my best."
