Chapter 967 The Hidden Minotaur
966. The Hidden Minotaur
The quarrel in the Galactic Parliament continues, and then this farce involving thousands of high-ranking people continues. The climax was reached in a sentence by Rush Clovis, a representative of the Interstellar Banking Association.
He said calmly: "According to our intelligence, the Federation of Independent Systems used the production capacity of 100 industrial planets as collateral to borrow 300 billion credit points from us to expand the scale of the war."
Padmé Amidala, the member of parliament from the planet Naboo, stood up suddenly and said angrily: "You, the Interstellar Banking Association, have been fighting on both sides of the war and providing funds to both sides at the same time! Now take this matter to the Republic. The parliament said, where did you put the Constitution of the Republic! 300 billion credits are enough to arm 50 combat formations! ”
Rush Clovis spread his hands and looked innocent, "The Constitution of the Republic does not stipulate what should be done after a civil war? The current situation is that since this is a civil war within the Galactic Republic, then we As a fair, fair and open banking industry, we are naturally obliged to provide financial services to members within the Republic. Moreover, once we cut off the supply of funds, many people on the outer planets will starve, and there is nothing we can do about it."
< br>"Your behavior is undoubtedly expanding the scale of the war! Don't tell me that you can't tell whether the funds are used to build warships or to buy food!" Alderaan Planet Councilor Bell-O Garner also stood up and accused.
"In fact, we really have no control." Rush Clovis shook his head ruthlessly.
This meeting still has no results. Speaker Sheev Palpatine announced that the meeting will be temporarily adjourned again and will continue tomorrow.
Padmé Amidala walked out of the venue extremely angry. Her beautiful face was flushed, her teeth were clenched, her eyebrows were raised, she was extremely angry.
At this time, a person walked up to her, came to her and made a polite aristocratic salute, "Padmé, I am very pleased to see you as beautiful and energetic as usual today."
Padme was furious when she saw this man. This man was obviously the representative of the Interstellar Banking Association on the Galactic Parliament, and he was also the representative of the Scipio sector - Rush- Clovis.
Actually, although he works for the Interstellar Banking Association, he is actually a human.
The Interstellar Banking Association is not completely controlled by the Muun people. It is just that the founder is the Muun people, and they have the largest shares and power. There are still a large number of people from other races serving in it.
The same situation applies to other corporate giants. Not all Neimoidians in the Trade Alliance are Neimoidians, and not all Kurivas in the Enterprise Alliance are...
Moreover, since humans are the largest race in the inner and core circles of the galaxy and occupy the most wealth and industry, the number of human executives among these corporate giants is also very large.
Rush Clovis is about 35 or 6 years old, and he looks quite handsome and calm.
However, Padmé Amidala just wanted to pick up a chair and smash his handsome face to pieces. She snorted and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Rush. By letting hundreds of millions People continue to sacrifice in the war, and you and the master behind you have made a lot of money."
Rush Clovis sighed and said: "Padmé, you know what I mean. . I never confuse official matters with private matters. In fact, what I want to explain to you is that you may have over-interpreted some things in the parliament today..."
"There is nothing to overdo. Interpretation! Now your Interstellar Banking Association is providing funds to both sides of the war, which is treason!" Padmé Amidala yelled. Rush Clovis was startled, shook his head and said: "Ever since the war broke out, you have been too sensitive... Why can't you calm down? Just like before, the relationship between you and me... …”
"That's enough!!" Padmé Amidala interrupted him directly, "I don't know what you are talking about! If we have ever had a misunderstanding, then we should get it all today. Clarify! Please leave immediately! I will file a new lawsuit with the parliament soon!"
Rush Clovis shook his head again, but turned around and left without saying anything more.
In fact, he did have a relationship with Padmé Amidala 4 years ago, but Padmé has been wavering between the responsibilities of a senator and her personal feelings, which made them The romance between them is always ups and downs.
Finally, after their on-and-off underground romance lasted for 3 years, with the outbreak of the war, Padmé Amidala's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and she directly treated him There was no pretense, and although it was not stated clearly, the relationship between the two ended there.
However, Rush Clovis has always been deeply in love with Padmé.
[PS: That’s right! ! Do you think the artist boy Padmé talked about in "The Phantom Menace" who had sex at the age of 14 was her only boyfriend? So naive! Padmé and Clovis broke up when the war broke out. In other words, a month or two before the war broke out, Padmé had an affair with Anakin Skywalker, who was several years younger than her. At that time, she actually had a boyfriend! Didn't expect it! Ha ha ha ha! In addition to the plot of the old cow eating young grass, there is also a hidden thread of the minotaur! 】
But love is love, and career is the most important thing. Rush Clovis thinks he can handle this well.
However, what he didn't know was that another pair of eyes had already been staring at him.
In the Speaker's Office, the Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, Sheev Palpatine, was opening the communication to talk to someone. On the other end of the holographic projection was Master Windu.
At this moment, Mace Windu, whose body had undergone mechanical transformation and treatment, had a cold face, and his red mechanical eye was emitting a terrifying light.
“You mean, you suspect that the Interstellar Banking Association has committed treason?” Master Mace Windu asked coldly.
Sheev Palpatine smiled warmly and said: "This is not a suspicion, but a direct certainty. But the problem is that from the perspective of the Constitution of the Republic, we cannot yet give the Interstellar Bank Convict the Interstellar Banking Association. And you also understand that the Interstellar Banking Association controls the economic lifeline of the galaxy, and any action against them may have serious consequences."
"So, what are you going to do? Master Windu asked.
"I hope the Jedi Order can take action and investigate secretly, Rush Clovis." Palpatine said.
