Chapter 478: The Galactic Republic's Road to War (2)

As the Separatist Movement has clearly begun to move towards war, the Galactic Republic must respond. There is already a lot of information that the Separatists are building a large number of new Warships. These Warships blatantly violated 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, the large and bulky Procurator-class Battlecruiser, Praetor-class Battlecruiser, and Mandator-class 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 to large, then from large to small, and then from small to large, and from large 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 Galactic 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 Galactic 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 Galactic Republic's degree of corruption.

According to the "Military Creation Act", Palpatine will get emergency disposal power during the war, as well as legislative power. The legislative 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 accept, 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 Galactic Republic, such guys filled the entire Galactic 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 many Planets have withdrawn from the Galactic Republic Senate, but some members are still persisting. Not out of greed for this power, but to continue to cause trouble for the Galactic 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 according 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 Galactic Republic will replace a Supreme Leader, and the replacement 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 Galactic 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 of compensation or a balance psychological...

The motion was overwhelmingly passed.

The passage of this bill also allowed Palpatine to completely break free from the shackles of his term of office, allowing him to unscrupulously carry out his actions within the scope of the Galactic Republic and expand his influence.

At the same time, this also means that the Supreme Chancellor election that took place 4 years ago on 28BBY became the last time in the more than 25,000-year history of the Galactic Republic.

There will be no next time, Sheev Palpatine, the last Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic 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 flash, 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 become monolithic, and a set of Administrative Systems Independent of the Republic began to be formed among these Planets. Based on this Administrative System, the Planets 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, Claire 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 accepted 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 the Planets 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 plan has also reached the final step.
