Chapter 491: The Meeting Between The Two Parties


    On the second day, Supreme 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 something I absolutely don''t want to see mypatriots in the same Gxy 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 y a role at this time, and the Senators in it also began to promote his actions. Under their propaganda, Palpatine has indeed be the one who has worked hard for peace.


    The second vote on the Military Creation Act will take ce a weekter in GST.


    Regarding this bill, the New Rim Faction Senators headed by Francis Underwood expressed strong indignation inparison with some Senators of the Outer Rim who still remained in the Senate. They imed that if the Senate passed the bill, it would be a vition 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 Gctic Republic!! Because today, you, a dignified Supreme 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 remember, 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, Dous 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." Dous nodded slightly, showing a somewhat 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 thest 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 leaveter It''s toote, Palpatine won''t allow me to leavepletely. Our final deration, pleasee and publish Dous, as long as I''m not here, Palpatine won''t do anything to you." Francis Underwood said.


    "Leave it to me, sir." Dous Stamper nodded and replied, "An Agent code-named 004 already contacted me yesterday. Mrs. M from the Intelligence Department will guarantee my safety."


    ...


    At the same time, the Outer Rim of the Milky Way, Raxus Prime.


    A burst of dazzling white light shed, and five 1,100-meter-long Kol-ss Battlecruisers left Hyperspace and entered the''s Gravity Well.


    Tang Xiao was sitting on the main seat of the gship with his legs crossed, with a stern expression, looking at the in front of him through the holographic projection.


    Severance Tann still stood like a Soldier, her legs standing straight behind Tang Xiao likepasses.


    In addition, there are 10 Hiigaran-ss Battlecruisers apanying them. This is the Fleet brought by Gross Shelby in the name of the Fourth Group.


    Around this small, there are already arge number of Fleets gathering.


    Among them is a huge Fleetposed of 1 Lucrehulk-ss Battleship converted from a Cargo Freighter, 10 Hiigaran-ss Battlecruisers, and 5 Providence-ss Destroyers. The logo on this Fleet shows that it belongs to the Trade Federation.


    There is also a Fleet of 30 Munificent-ss Frigates, which is the fleet of the Interster Banking n.


    The Techno Union, Commerce Guild, and Corporate Alliance have also broughtrge-scale Fleets, and their fleets are mainlyposed of Recusant-ss Light Destroyers and Munificent-ss Frigates.


    However, this terrifying Fleet that can easily sweep across an entire Star Region is gathered here not to fight, but to... sign an agreement.


    The situation between the Outer Rim and the Republic has reached this point, many things havee to the fore, and there is no need to gather quietly like the underground party.


    What''s more, today''s meeting 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 of Raxus Prime.


    Stepping out of the Shuttle, Tang Xiao looked at San Hill, the Co-Chairman of the Interster Banking n who also just arrived. They exchanged nces and continued walking towards the venue.


    The meeting ce was not big, and Count Dooku was already waiting at the door, and then more than 30 people came one after another, and that was the whole meeting.


    Dawn, Interster Banking n, Commerce Guild, Trade Federation, Corporate Alliance, Techno Union, Fourth Group, Sy Myrth, Yag''Dhul, Geonosis, etc. have highly developed Industries. Thes 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 meeting among the Thousands of Systems in therge Outer Rim that the entire Separatist Movement 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 nevere out of the Unknown Regions, and..."


    Count Dooku''s face changed slightly, "She''s a Force-Sensitive person..."
