Chapter 478: The Gctic Republic''s Road to War (2)
As the Separatist Movement has clearly begun to move towards war, the Gctic Republic must respond. There is already a lot of information that the Separatists are building arge number of new Warships. These Warships tantly vited the Warship Restriction Treaty during the Russan Reform Period. Whether it is the level of Hyperspace Drives, the maximum Power of Weapons, or the Capacity of Shields, they all greatly exceed contract restrictions.
In contrast, the Main Battleships of the Judiciary Fleet, therge and bulky Procurator-ss Battlecruiser, Praetor-ss Battlecruiser, and Mandator-ss Star Dreadnaught, which seem to be more than 8,000 meters, 4,000 meters, and 2,500 meters in length, but they will be easily beaten by those 1,000 meters new type of Warships.
The Star Warship is such a process of continuous spiral development from small torge, then fromrge to small, and then from small torge, and fromrge to small.
Such a situation intensifies everyone''s fear of the threat of the Separatist War. This fear is like you are the boss of a Heavy Industry Group, but you are blocked by a group of gangsters with sticks when you go out in an alley.
Although you can transform the Heavy Industry Group into a Military Enterprise with an order when you go home, and then drive an Army Tank over, but, at this moment, you will be beaten up unavoidably, and you may even be beaten to death!
How to deal with it?
It''s better to drive the Tank out before going out so that these gangsters can no longer threaten you.
May 16th, 24BBY, is a day destined to be recorded in the annals of the Gctic Republic!
Because on this very day, the Military Creation Act proposed by Speaker Schiff Palpatine was not passed, he failed...
This vote did not get a majority of votes in the Gctic Senate, as Palpatine judged and hoped. Although those Senators are indeed full of fear of war, Palpatine misjudged a little-he thought that the fear of war was enough for him to win a majority of votes, but he underestimated the fat-minded Senators of the Gctic Republic''s degree of corruption.
ording to the "Military Creation Act", Palpatine will get emergency disposal power during the war, as well as legitive power. The legitive power is the most powerful weapon and the greatest power in the hands of these Senators.
In other words, if they want to support this bill, these Senators must hand over their power, which these Senators are not willing to ept, even if the war is about to hit their doorstep tomorrow, they are not willing.
Anyway, it will take at least a few decades for the war to reach Coruscant. During this time, it is better to enjoy the benefits of this huge authority.
At the end of each dynasty in history, there will be many such treacherous ministers, but in the Gctic Republic, such guys filled the entire Gctic Senate Building.
Moreover, the strong opposition from Dawn''s Senator Francis Underwood and his new Rim Faction Senators is also a very big factor.
In fact, the number of Senators of the New Rim Faction has decreased a lot, and manys have withdrawn from the Gctic Republic Senate, but some members are still persisting. Not out of greed for this power, but to continue to cause trouble for the Gctic Republic.
As for Francis Underwood, he wanted to give Tang Xiao more time to prepare for the battle, even though he knew that his time in the Senate of the Republic was limited.
However, Sheev Palpatine has never been a person who does one thing for only one goal. After the vote on this proposal, Orn Free Taa, a Senator of Ryloth, proposed another proposal.
Senator Orn Free Taa said that in such an extraordinary time, only Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is the right person to lead the Republic forward.
However, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine''s second term is about to expire, and ording to the Constitution, he can no longer be re-elected. This means that when the threat of war from the Separatist Movement is imminent, the Gctic Republic will rece a Supreme Leader, and the recement of the Supreme Leader often means discontinuity or even fault in policy.
No matter from which point of view, such a result is very bad. If it is serious, it will even give the Separatists more opportunities, causing the Gctic Republic to lose future wars.
Orn Free Taa offered to grant Sheev Palpatine an unlimited additional term until after he had resolved the Separatist Crisis once and for all.
Maybe it''s because of Palpatine''s already great political power, maybe it''s because of his good public image, maybe it''s because the "Military Creation Act" he proposed before was not passed so that those Senators who opposed it had a kind ofpensation or a bnce psychological...
The motion was overwhelmingly passed.
The passage of this bill also allowed Palpatine topletely break free from the shackles of his term of office, allowing him to unscrupulously carry out his actions within the scope of the Gctic Republic and expand his influence.
At the same time, this also means that the Supreme Chancellor election that took ce 4 years ago on 28BBY became thest time in the more than 25,000-year history of the Gctic Republic.
There will be no next time, Sheev Palpatine, thest Supreme Chancellor of the Gctic Republic.
At this moment, he was thinking about another thing... He had already realized his mistake, and he understood that in order for those corrupt and greedy Senators to hand over their power, he still needed more foreshadowingone that was enough to make those Senators recognize the foreshadowing of reality.
He is patient enough, he can wait.
And this wait is 2 years...
These 2 years have passed by in a sh, and Count Dooku has always maintained a tacit understanding with Palpatine. He knows that his Master is not ready yet, so he is not in a hurry to take the final step so quickly.
He was constantly making preparations, and under his management, the Outer Rim Region of the Milky Way began to gradually be monolithic, and a set of Administrative Systems Independent of the Republic began to be formed among theses. Based on this Administrative System, thes in the Outer Rim began to allocate resources to each other in a unified manner, so as to facilitate the use of wars that may break out in the future.
It is worth mentioning that Francis Underwood''s wife, ire Underwood, also has a high reputation in the Outer Rim because of the creation of the Outer Rim Region Mutual Aid Fund. Therefore, she finally epted Count Dooku''s invitation and appointment, and reorganized the Outer Rim Region Mutual Aid Fund into the Outer Rim Region Administrative Headquarters, coordinating the affairs between all thes that joined the Separatist Movement.
This move is also a gesture of goodwill to Tang Xiao and Dawn, because since the Battle of Naboo that broke out in 32BBY, until now 22BBY, in the past 10 years, the development of Dawn has reached the point where even a figure like Count Dooku It must be taken very seriously!
And Tang Xiao''s war preparation n has also reached the final step.
