Vol 2 Chapter 2278: The end of the republic (on)

2278. The end of the Republic (on)
Coruscant, Galactic Council.
"The expropriation of civilian spaceships, and even the hijacking of civilians together on the battlefield!! This is ridiculous!!! When did the Galactic Republic become so dehumanizing!!! Such a proposal was a disgrace to the Parliament to discuss!!" Padme -Congressman Amidala controlled the anti-gravity platform and flew to the middle, pointing at Palpatine's nose and almost swearing.
However, Palpatine just stood there motionlessly, did not speak to Padmé's questioning, just smiled and looked at her and those scolding parliamentarians.
"This is no way! Do you know what is happening in the Corella galaxy? Do you know what the midpoint station means?" There are also a few MPs supporting Palpatine, the representative of Planet Quart Gidean -Danu stood up and said aloud.
"Aren't our troops all decorated? Why do we have to put civilians on the battlefield!?" Hambalin Planetary Representative Hannah Brimer stood up and retorted.
"Do you think that the midpoint station is something that can be broken casually? If the army is useful, why do you want to make such a move?" Witt Planetary Representative Lexi-Dio snorted.
"If the army is useless, what is the huge amount of military spending that the people paid for tightening their belts!" Padme-Emidala said sharply.
Gidian-Danou jumped up and yelled, "How much do you give to the Naboo planet for military spending? We..."
"Quiet!!!" Mas-Ameda suddenly screamed. His voice was very loud. With the help of a loudspeaker, it instantly spread throughout the parliament hall. Everyone was quiet because they knew that the speaker It's time to speak.
Padmé-Emidala was still in a state of distress, and gave Palpatine a hard look before slowly sitting down.
"My colleagues in the parliament, first of all, I must recognize and thank you for your hard work over the years. It can be said that it is the hard work of everyone that the Republic will be like... prosperity." When it comes to the last word, he There was a trace of sarcasm flashing in his mouth, and then he bowed deeply, and then he continued: "Everyone has seen that now the Republic is facing the most serious threat in history! It surpassed the previous infinite empire, Hutt empire, and even the west. Threat from the Slovenian Empire."
Then he raised his hand, and the sign of a huge confederation of independent galaxies was projected, "Separatism. Instigated the outer ring galaxy and some speculative businessmen, and provoked war. They used a lot of robots in a very despicable way, and the war spread. Where people are displaced."
Then a symbol of the five-star alliance was projected, "Corella galaxy. They were originally a member of the Republic, but they were not willing to take responsibility, and wanted to take advantage of the war to make a fortune, and will not take into account at all. What a blow the Republic will suffer because of their independence."
Finally, Palpatine projected the image of the midpoint station, "Midpoint Station. This was the creation of the Killic people 100,000 years ago. It was this incredible power that created Corelli with five habitable planets. Sub-galaxies, too, can use this power to destroy any planet in the galaxy. How powerful the Kirk Empire was 100,000 years ago, we don’t know, to what extent their technology has reached, we don’t know. But I What I know is that the midpoint station is by no means a match that the Republic can match."
After that, all the projections disappeared, leaving only Palpatine’s slow and heavy voice:
Just 2 hours ago, I issued a command to the fleet stationed near Corella, and they immediately asked The Leiria galaxy launched an offensive with a total of 200 warships. However, just now, we have a total of 44 remaining warships."
Suddenly there was an inhalation sound at the scene, which was obviously shocked by this figure.
"156 warships, 1,154,400 fighters, were killed in the cold starry sky of Corella within 2 hours." Palpatine's voice appeared a little choked, "I put down all my faces and support Dan- Soro's restoration was to give us a last chance. The rebel army captured the anti-gravity device on the planet of Selonia, making the midpoint station temporarily unable to fire, giving us the opportunity to send troops. I let these 200 warships , 1.15 million soldiers died, because Corella colluded with separatism, and now their robot army is besieging the planet of Celonia! I am fighting for the last time for us... 1.15 million lives!"
As he said, his voice grew louder and louder, "I call on all the spacecraft of the Republic, and even abduct civilians into the passenger spacecraft! Just to give our fleet a fair chance, not to be invisible even if the enemy is not seen The gravitational waves torn into pieces!!! Because I understand better than anyone, I am responsible for the Republic!!! I am responsible for Coruscant! I am responsible for Quart!!! I am responsible for every Republic joining the planet!!! Because I know that once the midpoint station targets these planets and fires, there will be billions or tens of billions of people killed!!!"
"So..." Palpatine's voice was calm again. He controlled the anti-gravity platform and flew directly to the platform where Padme-Emidala was, staring at her face to face, slowly asked: "Ai Congressman Midala, in this time in exchange for the life of 1.15 million soldiers, I sincerely beg you to come up with a plan to defeat separatism and regain the midpoint..."
Padmé-Emidala's face was so pale, she stood up very furiously, but she could not refute, and she could only point to Palpatine's nose and said aloud, "You...you rascal!!" "
This is indeed the case~EbookFREE.me~ From the mouth of Palpatine who is the speaker, it is really a rogue. Padmé is indeed very kind, and in modern buzzwords, it is indeed a ‘Virgin’. But she is not mindless. On the contrary, she sees it more deeply than most other MPs. The reason for her anti-war is not to fight for the sake of anti-war, but she understands that there is an invisible force behind the war. Therefore, she hoped that she could control the scale of the war and prevent both sides from killing their eyes, so that there was still room for turning around and to calmly think about why they should fight this war.
But now, Palpatine bluntly put the results of all this in front of her, but he intentionally or unintentionally ignores why the war broke out before and why there was Corella's independence. Under such circumstances, she can of course be speechless! Because all the things created by Palpatine serve the result, the plan he proposed must be the most effective one among the results, but few people can see that the result could have been avoided. of.
At this moment, Padme-Emidala understood all this! She understood that the impassioned old man and the elders, and the Speaker of the Parliament of the Galactic Republic, were the people driving this war! ! ! However, everything was too late. The beautiful face that was red because of anger, and the word "rogue" spit out because of extreme humiliation, showed all her wishes,
