Chapter 175 Fermentation
173. Fermentation
No matter which angle you look at it, it is absolutely impossible for Finis Valorum to accept such a result - failure!
What does this mean? It means that the Galactic Republic failed shamefully in a head-on conflict with a commercial company!
The dignified Republic lost to a company? What's the point? If this matter continues, it will almost certainly bring disgrace to the Galactic Republic.
The media, reporters and the general public will not consider the objective reasons at all, nor will they consider why the judicial fleet was not dispatched. They would only see the Galactic Republic's fleet lose to the Corporate Alliance!
If this matter cannot be resolved, then he will no longer be the Speaker of the Republic.
Valoran pressed the communicator button with a trembling hand and connected to Deputy Speaker Botan's communication.
Although the outcome of the Battle of Marastal Fjord has been highly confidential so far, there are still some people with ulterior motives who have learned the news through the channels that have been arranged.
Sheev Palpatine, the councilor from the planet Naboo, sneered and turned off the communicator. He turned around and looked at the dense buildings of Coruscant through the huge panoramic windows. After a while, he dialed another one. Number.
A tall man with blue skin and a pair of slender horns on his head appeared in the holographic projection. Palpatine's expression almost immediately became extremely worried. He sighed and said, "Some bad news has come from the front, Mr. Mas-Ameda."
The blue-skinned one The man immediately frowned, "Now the only planet that can be called the frontline is Marastal. Could it be that..."
"The Republic fleet is not in a good position and has sent out a distress signal." Elpatin shook his head and sighed.
"What? The Republic fleet was defeated? This will lead to catastrophic results." Mas-Ameda said in surprise, "Is there anything I can do? Senator Palpatine."
“I hope you will be prepared to take over the position of Deputy Speaker of the Galactic Republic Parliament. In this extraordinary period, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the old Deputy Speaker Botan to help Speaker Finis Valorum tide over the difficulties. Yes, we need your prestige," Palpatine said earnestly.
Mas Ameda was obviously stunned, "Compared to me, you should be the best candidate for this position, right?"
Palpatine shook his head and said: "Oh , I am also responsible for this failure. I can't stand up at this time, because it will cause unnecessary associations with Speaker Valorum. But don't worry, I am firmly on Speaker Valorum's side and for the sake of the Republic. ."
"I will consider this." Mas-Ameda nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I think Speaker Finis Valoran will contact me soon. I need to express our position at this time. I will need your help for the next thing, Amei Your Majesty," Palpatine said.
……
On the other side, there are 20 floors underground on Coruscant.
Francis Underwood looked at Tang Xiao in the holographic projection with a serious expression, "You mean, the Republic fleet suffered a disastrous defeat? If that's the case, let this news ferment, even if it's Phoenix- It’s not surprising that Valorum stepped down this time.”
Tang Xiao sighed and said, “To be honest, the Republic fleet was defeated a little bit because of the addition of our fleet. So, I have seen some. The future may change, you have to be prepared. "What's the situation on the planet Marastal now?" Francis asked.
"Wulf-Yularen is still fighting with the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser. Their fleet now has less than 100 spaceships left. I'm looking for it There are some excuses not to continue to let the fleet participate in the battle, but to guard the outside, but even so, he can't sustain it for too long. However... the Jedi Order should soon intervene in this matter." Tang Xiao said.
"Well, now that things have developed to this point, I think I need to know a few things. The first question is, will Finis Valoran step down because of this?" Francis asked.
"He will not step down. The time is not yet ripe for Palpatine. But a scapegoat must be introduced in this matter."
"The second question, the enterprise How will the alliance handle this matter next? "
"You must understand this. From my perspective, I need to make this action of the Enterprise Alliance fail - as I see the future. That way. Only in this way can I get the results I want..."
...
"Why did it fail? Tell me! Senator Palpatine! Why?" Finis Valoran looked as if he was more than ten years older. He shouted angrily after seeing Palpatine.
It's just the rage of the incompetent... Palpatine defined Fenis Valorum in his heart. On the surface, he pretended to be surprised and said: "This is impossible! The defense fleets of the three sectors, especially the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser among them, cannot be lost to the mercenaries of the Enterprise Alliance no matter how you look at it. "
"But this is what happened! Senator Palpatine, we must come up with a countermeasure! We must not let the Enterprise Alliance succeed on the planet Malastar! What about the Alliance? What about the Commercial Guild? They will all ignore the authority of the Republic!
"Now we have only one way." Palpatine sneered secretly, and said the answer he had planned for a long time, "The Jedi Order."
"The Jedi Order?" Loren was also a little surprised by this proposal, "I remember that the Jedi Order did send an investigation team to the planet Marastal, and the one they sent was Jedi Master Cape-Xi. But the investigation team should have returned."< br>
"So, the Jedi Order has a reason to intervene in this matter, right?" Palpatine said.
Finis Valoran shook his head repeatedly, "No! Even the Jedi Knights cannot persuade both sides to cease the war when the war has already begun. What's more, now that the Enterprise Alliance has a chance to win, it is impossible for them to have Any concession."
"But...the Jedi are capable of making the Enterprise Alliance retreat, right?" Palpatine said, "Every time I read the history of the ancient Republic, I will. I longed for the most glorious and glorious period of the Republic. During the thousand-year-old Sith War, the soldiers of the Jedi Order bravely charged into battle and killed countless enemies for the Republic!"
He Zhang! Kaishou sighed with emotion, "The lightsaber represents light and justice, and at the same time safeguards the authority of the Republic! How glorious!"
