Chapter 366: The Counterattack In The Senate


    Thes that support Bail Antilles, to put it bluntly, are the middle ss, and in the Milky Way, they are in a situation where they can''t starve to death and don''t have much development. If they want to seek development, they must get the help of thes in the Inner Ring and the Core Area, but they are also somewhat powerless to ask them to help thes in the outer ring.


    Therefore, Bail Antilles'' method is to knead the entire Gctic Republic into a whole. Such a result will inevitably cause great losses to those developeds, but on the contrary, it will only benefit the Centrals.


    This was followed by a speech by Mstare Councilman Ainlee Teem. His eloquence is also very good, and he speaks clearly about his Governance n.


    His main policy is to work on resolving the contradictions between the Inner Ring, the Core Area and the Outer Ring Star Area of the Gxy, strengthen multteral dialogues, and strengthen the dominance of the Republic in the Outer Ring Star Area.


    In fact, this policy is an enhanced version of the current situation. Don''t offend anyone there, try to maintain the status quo, and then find ways to make the situation better.


    If this approach is conservative, it is indeed the best choice. Because the turbulent Republic really cannot withstand a new round of changes, it can only be gradual, and if it develops slowly for dozens or hundreds of years, maybe it will really get better.


    Ainlee Teem''s wonderful speech won thunderous apuse from the Senators of the Outer Rim.


    Finally, there is the speech of Naboo Senator Sheev Palpatine. His speech was passionate and powerful, and he proposed that he would strengthen the control of the Senate of the Republic, improve administrative efficiency, and strengthen the bureaucracy. And he directly proposed a word - Power! He said that strength is the basis for maintaining the administrative structure of the Republic, and he will devote himself to changing the wrong path of the Republic voluntarily giving up power since the Russan Reform, and guiding the Republic to a new, correct path full of strength!


    After the presentation, there will be voting and debate.


    Unsurprisingly, Bail Antilles didn''t get many votes at all, less than 10% of the votes went to him. The approval rate of Senator Ainlee Teem, who has received the support of the Outer Rim Star Region, has been rising all the way and soon won 30% of the votes. At the same time, Sheev Palpatine only had about 20% of the votes.


    However, at this moment, the situation suddenly changed terribly!


    The Group of Representatives representing the Outer Ring Star Area, The Rim Faction, which is also thergest Faction in the Gctic Senate, and it is their support that makes the approval rate of the representative of Ainlee Teem very high.


    In fact, this was originally a bncing method of the Gctic Republic Senate. Weaks have more seats so that they can make a louder voice in the Senate, thereby helping theses.


    But now, such a system has finally copsed.


    The leader of the Ring Faction, the Senator of Ryloth, also has a very high influence in the Senate, and Orn Free Taa, who was once able to stand up to the former Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum, suddenly stood up and shook his fat body and said expressionlessly: "I support Senator Palpatine''s Governance n, and I believe that under his leadership, the Gctic Republic can go further."


    This statement immediately stirred up waves like a stone, and almost all the Senators watched all this happen in disbelief.


    There was internal strife in the Ring Faction, and the instigator was their leader!?


    Not only that, but many Ring Faction members also began to follow suit, they began to oppose Ainlee Teem and supported Orn Free Taa and Sheev Palpatine. It is worth mentioning that most of these Senators are representatives ofs that are close to Trade Routes and can have direct contact withs in the Inner Ring and the Core Area.


    It can be said that at this moment, the Ring Faction member group, which hassted for decades in the Gctic Senate, haspletely copsed.


    Seeing that the situation copsed in an instant, the Gran native Orn Free Taa trembled all over, his three eyes flicked around, and he almost lost his sense of proportion. The leader of the Ring Faction, Orn Free Taa, got cold feet and defected so he waspletely unprepared, and he didn''t even know what to do now.


    And at this moment, on the Anti-Gravity tform of Dawn, Francis Underwood just looked at this farce with cold eyes. He leaned over slightly and whispered to his wife ire Underwood: "Still remember what I said earlier? To get more cake, you have to be the one sharing the cake."


    "I don''t think this is a good idea. Palpatine is in full swing, and no one can stop him from being elected. To offend him at this time, I''m afraid..." ire frowned.


    "Oh, what I care about is not whether Palpatine can be elected. What I care about is whether we can be the ones who share the cake. Even if we can''t, we must be close enough. Don''t forget, the so-called politics is nothing more than location, location, location. It''s like the mansion we just bought on the surface of Coruscant for 18 million credits, why? Location." After Francis finished speaking, he looked at Dous, the Chief of Staff next to him, "How much time is left, Doug."


    "About half an hour."


    "Enough." Francis Underwood straightened his suit, buttoned the second button, pressed the speech button, raised his hand and said in a loud voice: "The campaign for Senator Palpatine, I question it!"


    Many eyes turned to Francis at this moment, with disbelief in their eyes. Senators mostly follow the trend, and now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Palpatine''s election is the general trend. Isn''t this person standing out now for a reason?


    Or another situation...


    When Senators face the wind, there is only one possibility: to tear their face apart.


    But the question is, hasn''t Francis Underwood always been a staunch supporter of Palpatine''s side? Moreover, his wife''s Outer Ring Mutual Aid Fund has now be a huge Charitable Foundation with great influence in the Outer Ring.


    Now he suddenly jumped out to confront Palpatine, why on earth?


    Over there, Francis Underwood had already debated with Palpatine. Both sides were very eloquent, and it was obvious that Francis was well prepared. He actually mastered a lot of ck material that Palpatine waspletely unknown to, and punched him in a set ofbinations, making Palpatine in a hurry.


    Palpatine waspletely caught off guard by this, and it was obvious that he was not in good condition now, his face was pale, and his left hand was still wrapped in a bandage, and he didn''t know where he was injured.


    But no matter what, with the sudden joining of Francis, those members of the Ring Faction who were already on the verge of copse regained their backbone, and the chaotic situation began to stabilize.
