Chapter 983: The Aftermath of the Terrorist Attack (Part 1)
983,The aftermath of the terrorist attack (Part 1)
Sheev Palpatine stood in his office and turned to look out the window at the constantly passing fighter jets, the Sheriff's Department spacecraft with red and blue police lights flashing, and the frightened crowd.
Rush Clovis stood uneasily behind Palpatine, not knowing what to say. The speaker in front of him was obviously completely different from before. This man was full of indescribable power, which made people fearful.
"Ainle-Tim was rescued." Sheev Palpatine said slowly, "At the same time, someone also sneaked into your residence and encountered the Jedi knights I arranged. Now you are just a
He's just a wretch that everyone gave up on, Clovis."
"Coruscant... Coruscant was actually attacked? This is impossible... this..." Rush Clovis suddenly raised his head, "By the way, Padmé! Padmé is also in the Capitol! Here!
She was attacked and she may be in danger..."
Palpatine looked at him with a pitiful expression, "Poor guy, haven't you realized yet that Padmé's heart has been stolen by a Jedi?"
"Jedi Knight? How is this possible! Can't Jedi Knights have secular bonds?"
"So I say, you have been abandoned by everyone. The Interstellar Banking Association, the Confederation of Independent Systems, the Galactic Republic...even your former lover..." Palpatine said with a sneer, "But, it's just me.
I still think you still have value."
"What do you want?" Clovis felt something was wrong.
"The Galactic Republic under the rule of the Jedi Order has come to an end, or in other words, it should come to an end. Just like the Interstellar Banking Association under the leadership of the Muuns... isn't it?" Sheev Palpatine's smile
Gradually becoming ferocious, "In such a change, this is your only chance! When you reach the top, when you sweep the Jedi Order into the garbage dump of history, leaving Padmé Amidala in the wrong choice
It’s extremely painful, isn’t it what you should do now?”
"this……"
"Think about it carefully." Palpatine patted him on the shoulder. "Now, I am going to issue an amnesty order to those desperate bounty hunters, and then put an end to this farce on Coruscant."
"Are you behind all this?" Clovis's cold sweat immediately flowed from his forehead.
Palpatine smiled and put his index finger on his mouth, "Promise me that after leaving the office, everything will be between the two of us."
…
The kidnapping in the Capitol of the Galactic Republic that shocked everyone finally ended with Speaker Sheev Palpatine signing an amnesty order and letting Cad Bane and his gang leave.
Palpatine claimed that he made this decision to protect the safety of the kidnapped congressmen, and that other than that, he did not have any agreement with this vicious group of kidnappers.
However, during this kidnapping, more than ten members of Congress still died. This result caused the security issue of the Republic's Parliament to be criticized verbally and verbally.
What's even more fatal is that some surviving members of Congress later stated in interviews that a Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker, was also present when the kidnapping took place, but he obviously failed to do so.
Stop this kidnapping from happening.
Under the exaggeration of some deliberate media, the kidnapping of the Senate was linked to the incompetence of the Jedi Order, and Anakin Skywalker also suffered tremendous pressure.
At the same time, three other major events occurred on Coruscant that day.
The energy center on the 10th floor underground of Coruscant was destroyed; the Ministry of Justice prison was attacked, and Senator Ainle Tim was missing; in addition, the mansion of Rush Clovis, the representative of the Interstellar Banking Association, was also attacked.
to attack.
This series of events can't help but be linked to a series of recent parliamentary resolutions, and countless speculations and discussions are everywhere.
The results are also frustrating...
This series of attacks exposed Coruscant's riddled security. Seven days later, Senator Einle-Tim appeared on the planet Malastar and officially announced his joining the Confederation of Independent Systems.
In order to hunt down the assassin, Jedi Master Rose Del Masona, who was in the Rush Clovis Mansion at the time, was killed by the brutal assassin, which shocked the Jedi Order.
Master Yoda, the leader of the Jedi Order, personally led an investigation team to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Finally, under strong pressure, Sheev Palpatine announced that the initiators of this series of terrorist attacks were the Separatists, and the Galactic Republic would fight such brutal acts of terrorism to the end.
Later, under the auspices of Palpatine, the Galactic Parliament passed a resolution to add a war loan to the Interstellar Banking Association, and the interest on this war loan reached as much as 25%! At the same time, it will also relax the interstellar interest rate.
The supervision of the Banking Association serves as policy collateral.
It is worth mentioning that Rush Clovis, the parliamentary representative of the Interstellar Banking Association, personally took charge of this loan, which embarrassed the Muun representatives who were traveling with him. And under the auspices of Rush Clovis
Next, the Interstellar Banking Association severed all ties with the Trade Federation's representative on the Galactic Parliament, Lot-Dood.
Secretly, Rush Clovis also started to take action. In the name of his different stance, he refused to accept all instructions from co-chairman Thorn Hill, and repeatedly stated within the interstellar banking industry that Thorn Hill had joined separatism.
This behavior is a stupid behavior that will lead to the destruction of the entire Interstellar Banking Association.
At the same time, the investigation into this series of terrorist attacks was immediately launched. All relevant departments and personnel who made errors or omissions and may even have colluded with the separatists were dealt with.
Through this incident, the informants and intelligence networks of many hostile forces in Coruscant, including the Fourth Civilization, were severely hit.
However, at this time, a very dramatic scene happened.
At the same time as the terrorist attack occurred, the Parliament of the Confederation of Independent Systems had just passed a resolution, agreeing to contact the Galactic Republic and trying to reach a peaceful ceasefire agreement with the Galactic Republic.
The special envoy had just begun to be formed here, and big news broke out over there that Coruscant had suffered multiple terrorist attacks.
Afterwards, Speaker Sheev Palpatine made a public speech, condemning the Confederation of Independent Systems for saying one thing and doing another. On the surface, it said it wanted peace, but in fact it was launching terrorist attacks and destroying peace.
But at this time, Count Dooku rarely stood up directly and confronted Palpatine, saying directly that these terrorist attacks were directed and staged by the Galactic Republic, and that the side that really wanted war was the Galactic Republic.
