Chapter 1,218 The Civil War of the Banking Association (2)
1218, Banking Association Civil War (2)
After hearing Gross-Shelbia's words, the core five people finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
In the past, the violations of laws and disciplines committed by the Interstellar Banking Association were enough to sentence each of their top executives to death more than ten times. But they still remained calm and unaffected at all.
Because the Interstellar Banking Association is so rich that they can bribe almost everyone they want to bribe!
Whenever the Interstellar Banking Association is about to be punished, countless people will always stand up to oppose it, and they will always encounter all kinds of unimaginable obstructions, and in the end nothing will happen.
In the end, even the finances of the Galactic Republic depended on the Interstellar Banking Association, so those Republic officials did not dare to lift a finger and could only turn a blind eye.
But now, the situation is different.
Because of this war, the Galactic Republic has an extremely powerful army, and it has also changed the way the Galactic Republic behaves. If it were before, the Galactic Republic would reason with you, and forget it if you can't.
But now, if they find that the truth doesn't make sense, then they will talk to you about physics...
At the same time, because of this war, Speaker Sheev Palpatine quietly completed the upgrading of the republic's internal bureaucratic structure in the past two years.
In the past, all the officials who had to pay money to become officials were replaced by officials based on status.
Those who now control the bureaucracy of the Republic are the aristocrats in the inner and core circles. They are not short of money, but what they are short of is ambition, status, and power!
This was an unconscious class change. The merchant class was gradually marginalized and replaced by warlords and powerful people.
In other words, in the current political arena and official circles of the Galactic Republic, money is of course very important, but it is beginning to give way to power. Because power can directly deprive you of your money, and even your life!
The quiet changes in the rules also changed the Interstellar Banking Association, which was immersed in it.
Many of them began to move closer to these powerful people, or they themselves were part of the powerful class. Sharp conflicts began to arise between them and the business class who were still superstitious about buying everything with money.
The representatives of these people are the human faction of the Planet Scipio of the Interstellar Banking Association. They hope to use money to gain a higher status in the Galactic Republic, rather than using money to make more money.
Therefore, what these human factions are calling for is higher power and more centralized control, so that they can gain more power. Instead of their previous demands for looser control, allowing their investment behavior to go unregulated.
Under this essential contradiction, the rift within the Interstellar Banking Association has become irreparable, so it was given to Sheev Palpatine to use a series of events to win over the human factions and at the same time launch Rush Clovis as an agent.
Opportunity.
Then under such circumstances, Rush Clovis will have enough power and influence to arrest the core five people through the impeachment process within the Interstellar Banking Association!
The core five people now think carefully and realize that Rush Clovis can really do this!
Seeing their silence, Gross-Shelbia suddenly thought of a very bad situation. She frowned and asked, "Wait a minute, where are you now?"
"On... Planet Scipio." Number 2 of the Core Five said gloomily.
"Why are you still on Planet Scipio under such circumstances!" Gross-Shelbia was a little angry. She raised her eyebrows and stood up as soon as she slapped the table.
"Planet Scipio is where our treasury is, and the biggest responsibility of the core five, in addition to presiding over the election of co-chairmen, is to manage the treasury of the Interstellar Banking Association." Number one of the core five said, "We can't leave.
From the planet Scipio.”

The core five people are in charge of the internal affairs, and the co-chairman is in charge of the external affairs. This is the basic management structure of the Interstellar Banking Association.
Gross-Shelbia combined the plot Tang Xiao told her with her own inferences and intelligence during this period, and understood everything. She said in a deep voice: "Then let me tell you what will happen next.
Bar!"
She sat back down and said: "Because the funds requested by the Galactic Republic have not been received, the Republic will send representatives to ask for verification of the bill."
"Our bills are perfect!" No. 4 of the Core Five shouted, "We are making false accounts..."
"...Then, I ask you to open the treasury and provide guarantee that the funds will be available." Gross-Shelbia raised her voice and interrupted the other party.
"This is impossible! We have the right to refuse!" said No. 1 of the core five.
"The person coming is most likely a combination of a congressman and a Jedi Knight. At the same time, they will hold an executive order signed by the Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, Sheev Palpatine." Gross continued,
"Of course, this is still not enough. So, when they issue the executive order, Rush Clovis will also launch an impeachment against you at the same time, accusing you of misappropriating funds from the Interstellar Banking Association to support separatism.
"
"So, our only option is to open the treasury." Thorn Hill said from the side, "In recent years, we have been using the form of yin and yang accounts to support Count Dooku's Independent System Confederation, and the clear accounts are for the Galactic Republic.
, funds are given in the form of credit. The secret account is for the Confederation of Independent Systems, using the cash we have in stock. The prerequisite for completing all this is the flawless cooperation between us. But the only trace is
The cash flow of inventory... If it was before, you had the management authority of the vault, no one would dare to question it, but now, the situation is different."
"No! This must never happen!" Number one of the core five said loudly.
"Now you should find a way to leave the planet Scipio!" Gross-Shelbia said.
"We cannot leave here. This is our responsibility and it is also the rule of the Interstellar Banking Association. Once we give up managing the treasury, it is equivalent to giving up the position of the core five people. At that time, who will take over the core five people?
In fact, I can make a list for you right now, and... you won't be willing to accept this list at all." Number one of the core five said in a deep voice.
Gross-Shelbia took a deep breath. If she hadn't come to attend this internal summit of the Interstellar Banking Association today, she would never have imagined that they had been penetrated to such an extent that they were even
