Chapter 497: Another Assassination


    (Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones begins here. Yes, the time span between Part 1 and Part 2 is 10 years, and the time between Part 2 and Part 3 The span is 3 years. In addition, as before, I will try to write the plot of the movie as briefly as possible, but it must be written and cannot be skipped, otherwise, it will affect the reading experience. By the way, I will also write many plots that have not been filmed Write it down.)


    The 13th year of the Great Synchronization Calendar of the Gctic Republic (22BBY), March 16th.


    Today is a very important day, because just today, the Senate of the Gctic Republic will formally vote on the "Military Creation Act". Switch to war mode.


    Naboo Senator Padm Amid is also preparing to take her own spaceship to Coruscant to vote. In this bill, she will firmly vote against it, because she insists that if the Gctic Republic passes the "Military Creation Act", it will give the Separatists an excuse topletely detonate the war.


    During her tenure as Naboo Senator, she has worked to bring peace to the Gctic Republic, calling for restraint on many fronts in the Senate and resolving issues at the negotiating table.


    But in fact, in this time when both sides want to go to war, her voice is so weak and powerless, but even so, because of her outstanding personal charm and charisma, there are still arge number of Senators who neither want to join Separatism, nor want to go to war, and those who are in a state of confusion gather around her.


    By 22BBY Senator Padm Amid had be the leader of a Major Political Faction. Fighting against the "Loyalty Committee" as Palpatine''s henchman, the "New Rim Faction" of Francis Underwood''s Outer Rim Senators, and the Senators of those old developeds, including Kuat.


    They have been working hard in the Senate to fight for peace for the Gctic Republic, and unlike other factions with ulterior motives, they really do not want war and hope that the Republic can move towards peace and unification, and can go further and be better.


    During the recent period, Padm Amid has been staying on Naboo as the Separatist Movement has intensified, and even within Naboo, there have been voices wanting to join the Separatist Movement and resist the Republic.


    After the bombing of the Gctic Capitol a month ago, everyone on Coruscant is now in danger. Senator Padm Amid''s personal Security Guard and Assistant, Gregar Typho, has always opposed her going to Coruscant because as an Anti-War Political Leader, they must have countless pairs of malicious eyes staring at her.


    "Only today, I have to go, Typho. This vote is very important." Padm Amid said to themunicator while putting on a gorgeous dress with the help of the maid.


    "But your Excellency, the result of this vote can no longer be reversed. Now you just gave those opponents an opportunity." Typho said on themunicator.


    "The result is not important anymore Typho, I know that we are powerless to stop this war now, but I must press the button in front of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine under the eyes of countless Senators and in front of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine for this negative vote." Padm sighed, but her eyes were full of determination, "If I don''t speak out for them, then there will be no peaceful voice in this Gxy."


    In the afternoon, a Naboo Royal Cruiser arrived in Coruscant under the escort of three N-1 Starfighters and docked on a towering apron near the Capitol.


    Sure enough, just as the spaceship stopped, there was a sudden violent explosion! This explosion directly blew up the Naboo Royal Cruiser to pieces, and even those who were about to step off the spaceship were swept in by the explosion, and all of them died!


    At this moment, Padm Amid jumped out of one of the N-1 Starfighters, and her substitute friend was on the Cruiser.


    Padm stared dumbfounded at the burning tarmac in front of her, and murmured, "No... I shouldn''t havee... Actually..."


    She never thought that the bombing of the Senate Building that happened just a month ago would happen to her now. If she hadn''t continued her security habits as the Queen of Naboo and used a double in public, the person who was killed by the bombing now would be her.


    Hearing that the Senator of Naboo was attacked again, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine urgently announced that the voting time for the "Military Creation Act" would be postponed until tomorrow.


    His approach looks as if he respects Padm Amid very much. Even though everyone knows that Padm will vote against him with the peaceful Senators around her, he will still respect Padm Amid''s choice and does not hesitate to postpone the vote for this negative vote.


    This approach has once again won many praises.


    Palpatine is such a scheming person, he is often willing to help his enemies, but he himself will always benefit invisibly.


    Then, Palpatine urgently summoned the Jedi Order.


    Because of the seriousness of the situation, several members of the High Council of the Jedi Order, including Master Windu and Yoda, were summoned to the Supreme Chancellor''s Office for discussion.


    They discussed the imminent war again, and this time, the Jedi Order showed no opposition to the war. Master Windu, as usual, only meant that the Jedi Order was incapable of dealing with a full-scale war, but he did not propose to oppose war.


    As always, Master Yoda''s focus is on the Dark Side of The Force, and he is also silent about this war.


    Silence often means acquiescence.


    They also chatted about the assassination of Senator Padm, but they did note to a conclusion. Because of Padm-Amid''s political inclination, it would be a thankless task to assassinate her, no matter which side she stood on.


    In the end, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine proposed that the Jedi Order protect Senator Padm.


    For this matter, Padm Amid, who just came to the Supreme Chancellor''s office, expressed objection. In fact, even if they are constantly fighting for peace, Padm Amid has the same attitude as many other members of the Senate. After experiencing countless things before, they no longer trust the Jedi Knights.


    "I believe that sending a Jedi who is very familiar to Senator Padm to protect her personally will be a choice that bests both worlds." Supreme Chancellor Palpatine said, "I propose that Anakin Skywalker and his Master Obi-Wan Kenobi go to protect Padm."
