Chapter 0938 Eh? What happened to that spaceship? ∑(′△`)?!(1/2)
‘Hmph!’
‘Dear members of the parliament present!’
'Our Trade Union declares again: We will never admit any false charges imposed on us! Our Governor was illegally arrested by the Federation of Legends troops while passing by Naboo Star, and we will never admit the evidence!'
'The Supreme Court of the Galactic Republic should therefore release him unconditionally and order the Federation of Legends to compensate us for all losses and severely punish the murderer who ordered the firing, rather than conducting an unreasonable trial on our innocent Governor-General at a time?'
‘We strongly protest against the evil deeds of the Federation of Heroes and the slanderous accusations!!’
'therefore……'
‘We hereby urge the Parliament and the Supreme Speaker to issue a special pardon order immediately and unconditionally release the Governor Newt Gundrey, who has been detained for more than ten days, for our respected Governor Newt Gundrey is indeed innocent and framed!’
In today's parliament, the representatives and members of the trade union were still doing their routine, roaring loudly at Nova on their seat platform towards the Supreme Speaker of the Republic on the rostrum and the opponent on the seat platform next to them.
Although their words have been said many times in the dome-shaped hall of the parliament, and their similar views have been raised and complained countless times, and even the protests have made Supreme Speaker Phoenix Valoren, the members of the presidium and other members present hear it, they still ran out again and continued to express their protests.
They had to do that...
Because the measures taken by the parliament, or the Supreme Speaker and his sectarians against their trade alliance have become increasingly obvious, and the governor of the trade alliance was captured alive by the other party and the critical investigation and trial work is about to end, so now they have to be secretly anxious and have to become increasingly hysterical, wanting to fool things or continue to delay at such a critical moment?
'besides!'
'We urge the Parliament to immediately suspend the implementation of the illegal bill No. 020200105, and immediately declare that the act of increasing taxes on remote trade channels is illegal and canceling relevant tax acts. Otherwise, we will reserve the right to take necessary measures to protect our legitimate interests from infringement?!'
Now, anyone can see that the increasingly fierce opposition and division within the Parliament of the Galactic Republic is already very obvious.
In the eyes of the MPs of the Trade Union, under the willful acts of the Supreme Speaker and some "disruptive party members", the Galactic Republic voted to pass and brazenly restore the agreement to impose high tariffs on the important remote trade channel of Sombuxing. Their trade union will never wait or pay taxes honestly because of this!
But now the bad thing is that the people who are intercepting and levying taxes on the route near Nabo Star are no longer those small tax surveillance ships of Nabo Star and those stupid Nabo Star who do not dare to offend their trade alliance, but those damn aphrodisiacs who are not sure where the Federation of Legends attracted!
Under the blockade of the opponent's advanced and fast warships that can also use the "space leap" ability, in recent times, countless trade alliances and large and small cargo spacecraft associated with the trade alliance have been forcibly seized due to smuggling and "suspected refusal to pay tariffs". Countless legal or illegal goods have also been confiscated or destroyed at the same time, causing them to suffer extremely heavy losses in just over a dozen days.
And this is the reason why the trade alliance members will continue to clamor in parliament today, protest strongly, and even send out force threats again!
Because, they really can't sit still now...
In fact, their trade alliance has long been unable to sit still because they are at an absolute disadvantage in the parliament! A few days ago, when they saw the hopelessness of rescuing the situation, they had tried to take some informal and fierce measures in the past!
For example: the most important and troublesome person in the sect where people assassinate the speaker - Nova?
However, the people in their trade alliance will definitely not admit that they did it themselves! After all, the Jedi Orders have only investigated: it was just a group of bounty hunters who rushed to the planet Coruscant to receive a deposit of money, which has no formal connection with their trade alliance, because the bounty was not a credit point of the Republic, but was distributed in the form of precious minerals. That kind of thing is not a difficult task for a trade alliance that is rich and specialized in various trade and mineral development. No one will find out who issued the "bounty" collected by the other party!
But whether it admits it or not, some things have already spread in the parliament. Therefore, after the trade union made their speeches, other members of the entire parliament did not rush to speak, nor did they start whispering and argue like before, but continued to watch the confrontation between the two sides.
‘…’
‘…’
Yes, most of the members of the parliament are waiting for the Supreme Speaker to react, especially the reaction of the member Nova.
after all,
For the congressmen present, although they are good at arguing and ruling in their work, and are usually corrupt and arrogant, they are also a group of qualified politicians with a keen sense of smell!
Without thinking too much, they had long known who the real person in the Supreme Speaker's faction was, and they also knew who was supporting the gentle and cowardly Supreme Speaker!
so,
Now, except for the two factions that are already in opposition (trade alliance and speakers) who are relatively clear in attitude, the other neutral or fence-based MPs who occupy about 40% of the parliament have always been self-protection, acting neutral, and never speak easily, just waiting to wait and see the increasingly strong gunpowder-smelling two factions in the parliament of the Republic, launching more intense infighting operations.
In fact, at this point, almost all the people from all the quarrels of the Galaxy on the entire planet Coruscant, and those terrifying numbers of Coruscant residents, have already learned about the division of the parliament from various channels, and have learned about the current situation of the parliament that has been split in half in the past half month...
However, under the rule of the bribery bureaucratic system that has become corruption, the people of Coruscant, who have long been insensitive, are not capable or unwilling to respond too much, even the two Jedi masters who are invited to participate in the audition at the parliament.
‘…’
‘…’
On a special invitation seat platform in the parliament, Master Yoda and Master Mays Windu looked at each other silently, looking at the chaos in the parliament but did not dare to speak, because they did not have the right to speak now!
Behind the two were the two men, Kui Gangkin and Obi-Wan master and disciple. The Jedi appeared in the parliament. It was indeed quite strange, but it was not too strange to think about it, because the original issue today was to ask some parties to state the evil deeds committed by the Trade Union in Nabsing and the crimes of oral depicting the Trade Governor, so that the Supreme Court could judge a day after the Supreme Court?
But unfortunately, after only one speech, the topic had to be deviated by the hysterical MPs and representatives of the trade union... Therefore, the representatives of the Jedi warriors present could only stay innocently in their seats, watching the clearly divided MPs quarreling about little by little for a long time...
perhaps,
The two sensitive Jedi masters present had already discovered that the Republic is indeed showing signs of increasingly severe division now?
But even if they notice it, they have no good idea!
Because some things have long exceeded the abilities of Jedi, like them, and their Jedi or Jedi Order, to put it bluntly, are just a group of thugs who maintain the public order and order of the Republic. They have indeed exceeded their abilities in some political affairs of the Galaxy Republic and the Galaxy Parliament, and they cannot intervene.
"oh?"
"Take the necessary measures? Do you want to continue sending people to assassinate me?!"
At this time, it was exactly the same as those members who were only concerned about watching the fun, not bothering at all, not speaking, not persuading fights, and thought that before the Supreme Speaker could speak, the Nova member directly spoke out and refuted:
"If you think that way, please let us know!"
"Hmph! It's not that I, Nova, underestimated you guys, but that the bounty hunters invited by you idiots are really too amateurs... You must know that even dozens of them were killed by me before they could last long. It really made me feel no sense of accomplishment!"
"but……"
"You idiots may not believe it. In an operation, I sneaked into an enemy's military base alone and killed all the enemies in the base! More than a thousand people were all dead. They were either cut off my throat or shot me in the head, and none of them ran away!"
"so……"
"Please, everyone in the Trade Union, can you find some more reliable or more durable next time you send someone?"
The murderous words were spoken from Nova, the Galaxy Member, and made the already quiet parliament quiet in an instant, as if everyone was pinched to the throat by an invisible giant hand?
Even the MPs and representatives of the trade alliance who were just hysterical were even scared by the first showdown by the Nova MP and took a step back involuntarily.
"Hmph! I'm finished!"
However, Nova did not put her face on her heart. She just hugged her arm and stared at her reaction leisurely.
These days, except for days off, she almost teased the trade union people in Parliament every day, and she had long been used to it.
‘…’
‘…’
The parliament was a little uneasy for a while because no one would doubt what Nova said!
The story of the other party being stared at and assassinated by the bounty hunter has now spread throughout the entire planet of Coruscant! Of course, what is more transmitted is definitely the interesting thing about the other party not only not running or calling for support when he is besieged, but instead facing the enemy alone and killing all the bounty hunters in the future!
Especially, when the story's protagonist is also a beautiful young congresswoman?
Of course, this kind of thing is just a private guess from the news media and some channels. Even if it is almost impossible to guess, no one has ever put it on the surface without conclusive evidence.
'you!'
‘I, we protest!!’
‘This member of Congress Nova, you are slandering! naked slander!’
‘That’s right! It’s just slander!’
‘Our trade alliance has absolutely no connection with that kind of despicable bounty hunter! We are all law-abiding republic merchants. The kind of bad thing that sends people to assassinate a member of parliament will never happen to us!’
‘So, we will never accept the wording you just said!’
After a long time, after a moment of silence, the representatives and members of the trade alliance who were unwilling to accept the "slander" had made a collective rebuttal, and continued to pretend to be the same hysterical state as before and roared, as if the louder their voices were, the more they could show that they were innocent?
Although almost all the MPs present knew about that kind of thing, they just didn't tell it clearly without conclusive evidence?
"oh?"
"If you are legal merchants, you will not surround and invade Nabo Star for no reason; if you are legal merchants, you should not have so many armed warships and combat robots; if you are legal merchants, you will not have been entangled in the parliament because of tax issues for so long!"
"In my opinion, it is certainly true that you are a group of businessmen, but whether it is legal or not is subject to debate."
Nova looked at the instrument on her seat platform, and then looked at the numbers above that it was now close to the end of get off work, and then stopped her words with a sneer.
'protest!!'
‘Let’s reiterate: Our trade alliance did not siege or invade Nabstar from beginning to end, and that there was no slander at all! And our Governor is surely innocent, and he must be acquitted as soon as possible!’
‘That’s right!’
'There are interstellar pirates everywhere on the distant voyage. The tax officials and Jedi of the Republic cannot protect our safety, so we must have our own self-defense means. And that is not a warship, it is just a merchant ship with self-defense weapons, which is in line with the relevant laws of the Republic!'
‘Mr. Nova, your sarcasm is unfounded!’
'We can all testify that we are not entangled with taxation issues. We have paid the reasonable taxes on time! And now, what we are entangled with is an unreasonable part! The Republic should not impose heavy taxes on remote waterways. It is illegal and unreasonable without the full vote of the parliament. We have reason to boycott it!'
‘On the contrary, your Astral Fleet surrounded Naboo and openly built a military base on the agricultural and tourism planet Naboo, and held Queen Padme Amidala of Naboo hostage and attacked the passerby Governor of the Trade Union. This is a shameful thing!!’
‘You must give us an explanation for this!!’
‘Give me an explanation!’
‘Releasing our Governor, reimburse us for losses and abolishing unreasonable tax agreements!!’
Now that Nab's matter has basically been settled, their trade alliance is actually planning to suffer a loss and not going to bother with it, so they are now a group of representatives clamoring on their own seats to confuse the audience.
However, no matter what, the issue of governor and taxation in the trade union must be resolved, which is unnegotiable, and this is why they have been in parliament for many days, so that many affairs of the Republic have to be shelved and almost paralyzed.
"snort!"
"Forget it, I still think that the Parliament's tax collection behavior on remote trade channels is reasonable, and the tax collection is too low. You guys who smuggle in the name of trade should be levied heavily?!"
Nova snorted coldly, revealing to the other party with no concern that she was planning to reform the Republic's taxation plan: that is, to impose heavy taxes on the trade alliance!
Because only then will the Republic have enough taxes to do some of the things she intends to do, such as conscription and formation of the Republic Army? Anyway, if she does not intend to send blood to this corrupt country out of her own pocket, she Nova has no better way except to crack down on dissidents and search for oil from the other party.
'you!!'
Reasonable? Oh!
Representatives and lawmakers of the Trade Union said that if it was reasonable to collect heavy taxes, who would still go to the remote channel to smuggle? In the final analysis, isn’t it because only smuggling can bring huge profits?
To be continued...
