The peace initiative was quickly passed by the Congress of the Confederation of Independent Systems. Mina Bontry was appointed as the peace envoy and officially sent a note to the Galactic Republic through official channels.
However, after the peace initiative of the Confederation of Independent Systems was sent to the Galactic Republic, it was directly rejected.
A spokesperson for the Galactic Republic stated that the Separatists have not yet provided an explanation for the previous terrorist attack on Coruscant. In this case, the Republic does not believe that the other party has any sincerity in negotiating.
However, this time, the Federation of Independent Systems has sincerely stated that it is willing to cooperate with the Galactic Republic in all investigations. If it is found that it was done by people on its side, the Federation of Independent Systems will not tolerate it.
But before that, we still hope to have official contact with the Galactic Republic to pave the way for formal peace negotiations.
In response to such a statement, within the Galactic Republic, members of Congress led by Bail Organa and Padmé Amidala supported it, and expressed in the parliament that a response to this peace negotiation should be made as soon as possible.
The situation is beginning to be very unfavorable for the main war faction secretly supported by Sheev Palpatine, because if they are still advocating the continuation of the war at this time, they will undoubtedly be on the opposite side of public opinion.
After all, the current Galactic Republic, especially Palpatine's side, is such a bitch, the kind of person who acts and acts. None of them want to bear the responsibility of provoking a war.
However, at this time, Speaker Sheev Palpatine finally stood up.
At a parliamentary meeting, facing Padmé Amidala's appeal, Sheev Palpatine stood up, smiled and said: "A very wonderful speech, Senator Amidala, your desire for peace
, the compassion for the vast number of creatures in the galaxy has been truly conveyed to each of us. I can’t wait to start this peace negotiation..."
He said with some sadness: "The war broke out during my term, which is a shame for me. I urgently hope that this war can end during my term, so that I can let go of this war."
Huge pressure and responsibility, return to the manor on the planet Naboo and enjoy your old age."
"The end of the war is what every one of us desperately wants to see." Padmé Amidala said.
"I heard that on the separatist side, Mina Bontri came as their peace envoy. I also have a lot of friendship with her. When she was working on the planet Naboo, she once served as your mentor, right?
?" Palpatine asked very kindly.
"Indeed. So according to the constitution, I need to avoid suspicion during this peace negotiation." Padmé Amidala said very calmly.
"Oh, haha, there is nothing to avoid. I believe you can clearly separate private matters from public matters, just like the Rush Clovis thing before, right?" Palpatine stabbed without leaving a trace.
Say hello to Padmé.
Padmé frowned and said, "I will never bring personal feelings into work."
When Rush Clovis, who was hiding in the shadows of the parliament hall, heard this, the expression on his face became even colder.
Sheev Palpatine on the stage changed the topic and asked naturally: "So, may I ask, Senator Amidala, what etiquette will we use to receive Senator Mina Bonteri?
The identity of a national ambassador? The identity of a district representative? Or the identity of a congressman?”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of both Padmé Amidala and Bail Organa changed drastically, and even turned pale at that moment!
Sheev Palpatine's smile looked a little unpredictable at this time, "Yes, I want to say, how will we treat the separatists in this peace negotiation? Let them use the local officials of the star region
Come as a person? Or come as an emissary of equal power? This is very important."
At this moment, Palpatine threw a fatal blow, which was also a problem that those pacifists had no way to solve——
Jurisprudence!
The Confederacy of Independent Systems has always regarded itself as a political power independent of the Galactic Republic, but the Galactic Republic has never considered them to be an independent political power.
From the perspective of the Galactic Republic, the war that is breaking out now is just a civil war within the Galactic Republic! It is a war between localities, not between countries!
The Galactic Republic has never recognized the name Confederacy of Independent Systems. On any occasion, they call each other Separatists.
So now, the two sides are going to start peace negotiations. No problem. What about the name? What about the legal principles? Let’s make it clear first. Unless you admit that you are part of our Galactic Republic, there is no need to discuss anything.
From Padme's perspective, if they agree to view the Confederacy of Independent Systems on a national level, then they will immediately be charged with splitting the Galactic Republic. This is treason!
But if we treat it at the level of a star district, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to accept it.
Because the same problem is faced by Mina Bontri! She must not accept sector-level treatment, otherwise, it will be treason.
This is a dead end!
Both Count Dooku and Palpatine have good and legitimate reasons to reject peace.
Because between the outer and inner star regions of the Milky Way, let alone ethnicity, even races and origins are different!
Mina Bonteri's peace envoy stayed on the neutral planet of Mandalore and dealt with it through the Duchess of Mandalore, Satine, but it had little effect.
The Galactic Republic simply does not allow her to enter the country as an envoy of a sovereign country!
…
When this false peace negotiation reached a stalemate, the war between the two sides did not stop.
21BBY, May 34th.
The Galactic Republic fleet assembled in the Delon system launched a counterattack against the Independent System Confederacy fleet assembled in the Antar system.
In this attack, the Galactic Republic invested more than 200 battleships, including more than 80 Jaeger-class battlecruisers. This also shows that in just a few months, the Galactic Republic has recovered from the losses in many previous battles.
Slowed down and regained a powerful mobile fleet!
The two sides fought a bloody battle near the planet Antar 5, with General Grievous personally commanding the battle. His military talent was brought into full play. The fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was extremely ferocious under his command, like a jackal against the Galactic Republic. The fleet bites.
The Jedi Order organized a beheading operation against General Grievous. However, after forcibly boarding Grievous's flagship, the Invisible Hand, they were helpless in the face of General Grievous's powerful strength. The two Jedi The Master was killed by General Grievous during this beheading operation.
The battle in the Antar system became extremely cruel, but Count Dooku, who was far away on the Laxus subplanet, knew that this battle was a warning from Darth Sidious to him!
Sidious is telling him what is real strength, what is real power!
Industry! Technology! Productivity! Fleet!
Everything is in his hands, turning into an extremely powerful sword!
Just the Confederacy of Independent Systems, just Count Dooku, just the Death Angel...
