Chapter 512: The First Shot of the Civil War

Sheev Palpatine finally got his wish. He managed to bypass the Military Creation Act vote.

He secretly remote-controlled Count Dooku and asked him to order Jango Fett to assassinate Padm Amidala, which, although unsuccessful, also put Senator Amidala into a coma.

Then, he took advantage of Jar Jar Binks' kindness and dedication to serving the Galactic Republic, constantly hinting that only with Emergency Ruling Powers can he be able to protect the Republic, and constantly hinting that if Padm Amida was here, she would definitely make this decision.

Jar Jar Binks finally stood up bravely and proposed a motion that none of the tens of thousands of Senators of the entire Senate dared to propose, giving Sheev Palpatine Emergency Ruling Power.

Although the final trend of history proved that his decision was wrong, but in that period when everyone was for himself and everyone was a coward, Jar Jar Binks was the bravest one.

Although his decision ultimately destroyed the Galactic Republic, at this time, allowing the Galactic Republic to build up an Army in the first place to fight against the Separatist offensive is indeed to let those Outer Rim Planets who are still loyal to the Galactic Republic free from the pain of war.

Sheev Palpatine won, and he now had Supreme Power over the entire Galactic Republic! The power of the Emergency Ruling allows him to have a one-vote veto and one vote to pass any bill, and even pass a directive directly through an executive order without going through the Senate.

Although this Emergency Ruling Power is temporary, he also publicly promised that he would return this power to the Senate, but who knows what will happen in the future?

After he ordered the establishment of the Grand Army of the Republic, the impatient industrial magnates who had been gearing up and waiting for it immediately started at full strength, and the Warships that had already begun preliminary construction were dragged into the Interstellar Dock. The outfitting was quickly completed under the control of the staff.

New warships such as the Acclamator-class Assault Ship, the Arquitens-class Light Cruiser, and the Broadside-class Missile Cruiser have entered the production line and started production.

Many war machines that had already been built were delivered to the Army of the Great Republic, which allowed the Army to be armed to the teeth in a short period of time.

The reform of the Military has also begun. Batch after batch of young and talented Officers have been promoted, and those Officers who were full of fat and fat corpses in the past were eliminated.

This series of efficient measures shows that Sheev Palpatine is well prepared for the establishment of the Army, but those Senators didn't think so, they just felt that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine really lived up to their trust, and the threat of Separatism was resolved just around the corner.

The Republic Strategic Command, which had been silent for a long time, began to operate rapidly again. The ubiquitous Republic Agents and Intelligence Personnel were activated and began to report pieces of information to the Republic Intelligence Department and hand them over to the Strategic Command for decision-making.

After Master Yoda arrived on the Kamino, the Kamino Civilization had already prepared the 200,000 Clone Army that had completed elite training in advance. Clone Soldiers wearing White Polymer Alloy Armor and Full-Coverage Helmets are fully armed and have already boarded the 12 Acclamator-class Assault Ships that have already docked in the spaceport in batches, ready to fight at any time.

The Jedi Order also made deployments, and since this Clone Army was created by the former Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, the Jedi Order also decided to continue the project.

Master Shaak Ti, one of the members of the Jedi High Council, stayed on Kamino to supervise the production of the Clone Army and monitor the Kaminoan's actions at any time to prevent them from having any misconduct.

Afterwards, the Strategic Command of the Republic took over the command of the 200,000 Clone Army, and Colonel Meebur Gascon from Zilkin accompanied the Fleet as a Tactical Advisor.

This Fleet has a total of 20 Acclamator-class Assault Ships, 12 of which are fully loaded with Clone Soldiers, and the remaining 8 are used as escorts.

Each of the 752-meter-long and 460-meter-wide Acclamator-class Assault Ships can carry 16,000 Clone Troopers and the Weapons and Supplies they need, including 320 BARC Speeders, 80 LAAT Gunships, 48 AT-TE Walkers and 36 SPHA Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery.

...

Earlier, Master Windu had led the Jedi Order to Geonosis.

After receiving the news forwarded by Padm Amidala, unlike those Senators whose minds were all about political purposes, Master Windu was very keenly aware of it at the first timethe war was imminent!

Therefore, he was very decisive and took all the Jedi Knights he could bring, a total of 212 Jedi Knights. The Jedi Order has not yet begun to decline at present, and the total number is about 10,000, but most of them are scattered in various parts of the Galaxy to perform tasks. After getting rid of those Padawans who had not completed their training, he took 212 Jedi Knights this time. It can be said that they are all out.

If Count Dooku was on Geonosis at this time, then it would be best if he could be captured, and a civil war sweeping the Galaxy might be avoided.

On the way, Master Windu also received the second information from Obi-Wan Kenobi, confirming the location of Count Dooku, which made Master Windu more determined.

Driven by the Hyperspace Ring, more than 200 Delta Fighters made several Hyperspace Jumps and headed straight for Geonosis!

A dense burst of white light flickered, and more than 200 Delta Fighters left Hyperspace and came to their destination. What greeted them was Heavy Artillery Fire!

Because of the uproar between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, Geonosis was already on the highest alert, and the arrival of the Jedi Knights was immediately discovered.

Five Geonosian-class Cruisers immediately turned around and flew towards these Fighters, and a large number of Nantex-class Fighters were parked densely in the belly of these Cruisers. This type of Cruiser does not have a Hangar Platform, and the Fighters are directly connected to the tail of the Cruiser and hung on it. It looks as if the belly of the Cruiser is covered with dense bean sprouts.

The Geonosian pilot quickly entered the Fighter from the rear of the Fighter, started the engine, disengaged from the Cruiser, and rushed straight towards the Jedi Fighters! This wave took off more than 1,700 Nantex-class Fighters!

After releasing all the Fighters, the Geonosis-class Cruisers began to adjust their attitude and entered the shooting angle. Several Twin-Mounted Heavy Turbolasers installed on both sides aimed at the target...

Fire!!

Shua~~~~~! ! The thick Red Blaster pierced through the dark universe, starting the first civil war in the Galaxy, the first shot of the Clone Wars!!
