2279. The end of the Republic (middle)
Faced with Padmé-Emidara’s anger, Palpatine just smiled lightly and turned to the others in the parliament, saying: "Empty talk, only misunderstanding, you see, such an example is before your eyes. . "The eyes of those MPs suddenly looked at Padmé-Amidala.
Padmé’s anger was hard to suppress, and she shouted: "All this! This war! You are pushing behind!"
Palpatine turned sharply and looked coldly at Padme-Emidala and said: "No, you are wrong, Congressman Amidala, I always wanted to end the war as soon as possible That person. I know the dangers of separatism better than anyone else, so I always thought about how to defeat them as soon as possible, end the war, and return peace and stability to the galaxy! The Republic has no warriors, I The Clone Corps has been activated! The Republic does not have advanced warships. I ordered a large number of Hunter-class cruisers from Quart Power Dock!
"It is this kind of effort that we can contend with the fierce separatism! Let our people not be slaughtered by the cold-hearted robot army! The Galactic Republic has been peaceful for too long...in this false prosperity Everyone has forgotten what war is like... But looking at our enemies, separatism is mostly in the backcountry, where crimes are rampant, and their degree of cruelty is unmatched by those of us in civilized society!! I ask you, Emida Mr. La, is there a saying that there must be victory in the so-called war?
Palpatine asked sharply.
Padmé-Emidara’s soaring were violently undulating, and she was already angry and trembling slightly, but she could not say a word.
Palpatine did not give up and asked aloud: "The battle of Naboo 12 years ago. In the face of the blockade of the trade union, the Republic was helpless!! That was just an enterprise!!! And we are a republic!" What a humiliation, what a sorrow!!! But in just 10 years, have you forgotten all this?!!!!"
He regained control of the anti-gravity platform and flew to the center of the parliament. With open hands, he said aloud: "When the frontline battle is lost and the soldiers are defeated! However, there are always people who are opposed to expanding the military and increasing military spending!! They always say that we have given enough money. Why give more!!! But this is war!!! This is war!!! Who can guarantee that the war will be won? And the war is led by the Jedi Knights!! Do you want to question the Jedi Knights? "
"Once a war breaks out, some will only have victory and defeat, only life and death! Who tells you that you will win as long as you start a war, and who tells you that you can win a war without spending money! The barbarians in the ring!!! Not the sporadic pirates!!! So now you tell me, why do our warriors always tell me to cut military spending and disarm when fighting blood on the front line?"
"Military expenses have been cut, where did our weapons come from? Where did the battleships come from? Where did the clone soldiers come from? The army cuts down, who will go to the battlefield? Will you?" Palpatine stretched out the withered Point your finger directly to Padme-Emidala!
"You...you..." Padme-Emidala was completely out of anger! ! Palpatine very shamelessly blamed all her guilt on her, making her a thousand fingers. She gritted her teeth and looked at Palpatine, squeezing a sentence out of her teeth: "I just can't let the Republic fall into the abyss of war, I can't extricate myself! I just can't let the Republic become a plaything in your hands!!"
Palpatine's face suddenly eased, and he came to Padme again, reaching out to touch her hair, but she was slapped with a slap in anger. But Palpatine didn't think it was right, just said very kindly: "I know, Padme, I know. If anyone here is the most loyal to the Republic and the most people for the well-being, it is you. I always see you as my daughter, Padmé, and it is the same now. Because I know that the Republic needs people like you to preserve our last conscience..."
However, he turned around again, facing away from Padmé, facing the other councillors, and said aloud: "But the situation is different now! Our enemies have threatened our survival!! This is no longer a disease of ringworm. But it will make the whole republic ruined once!!!! With a little carelessness, we will be completely defeated!! What is the result of the defeat? The midpoint station will become our nightmare, who dares to object, the midpoint station Whose planet will be destroyed!!! This is a planet!!! How many people will die as a result?"
As he said, his voice began to grow deeper, and it was somewhat distorted, beginning to lean towards his original voice. He said slowly: "We can no longer be like before... We are now fighting for survival, fighting for survival. For this purpose, I will do whatever I want. Because, I don’t want to die, I don’t want all of you here. People die. In order for us to live, I will turn the Republic into a war machine, a bloodthirsty beast! My determination is stronger than ever! I must stand up and lead this crisis Everyone is winning!!"
Wow~~~~~~ The entire parliament hall suddenly boiled, and most of the members of the parliament cheered loudly. They shouted Palpatine's name and waved their hands to offer their worship.
"Now the war we are facing is rooted in the Rusang reform! This is the victory of democracy, but the disaster of the country! It is the Rusang reform that caused the Republic to lose its fangs! Let those who are skeptical think we are weak! So we have to let them realize that this is wrong! We have to make a change! The Republic is more cold-blooded and more efficient! Now that the war is in progress, it is meaningless to insist on unnecessary democracy!! Endless quarrels will only wipe out the Republic Bloody!!!"
"So! Give me your future!!! Give me your loyalty! I solemnly promise ~EbookFREE.me~ I will lead you to defeat strong enemies, to victory, to glory!!! The weak past of the republic will become history!!! I will lead the republic to move forward and become a powerful, dreadful existence!!!" Palpatine said aloud.
Among all the shouting cheers, Palpatine shouted the final voice: "I hereby announce that the Galactic Republic will be transformed into a galactic empire! Let us spread our strength and faith throughout the galaxy Go!!"
Wow~~~~~ Once again, the hall of parliament cheered loudly.
Finally came, but I didn't expect that so many people in the Parliament had turned to Palpatine... Padme-Emidala only felt that there was a rib in his head that was cut off! She was breathing hurriedly, but it still seemed to be lack of oxygen. Her face turned pale like white paper, and the cold sweat was like rain! Then she only felt an unbearable colic in her belly! !
"Woo..." Padmé clutched her abdomen and fell backwards. The entourage around her quickly hugged her. Even at this critical moment, her Wu Qing's lips still kept faintly saying, "Republic... who will save... Republic..."
