Chapter 990: False Peace
989, False Peace
The peace initiative bill was quickly passed by the Congress of the Confederation of Independent Systems, and 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 the start of 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 to the main war faction secretly supported by Sheev Palpatine, because if you are still advocating the continuation of the war at this time, you will undoubtedly be on the opposite side of public opinion.
After all, the current Galactic Republic, especially Palpatine, is such a bitch, the kind of person who acts both as a person and as a person. None of them wanted to take the blame for provoking a war.
However, at this time, Speaker Sheev Palpatine finally stood up.
At a council meeting, facing Padmé Amidala's appeal, Sheev Palpatine stood up, smiled and said: "A very wonderful speech, Congressman Amidala , your desire for peace and your compassion for the vast number of creatures in the galaxy have truly been conveyed to each of us. I can’t wait to start this peace negotiation..."
He omitted. He said sadly: "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 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 is eager to see," Padmé Amidala said. .
“I heard that on the Separatist side, Mina Bontry 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 frankly.
"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?" Palpa Tin stabbed Padmé indiscriminately.
Padmé frowned and said, "I will never bring personal feelings into work."
Rush Clovis hidden in the shadows of the parliament hall After hearing this, the expression on his face became 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 Mina - What about Councilor Bontre? As a national ambassador? As a district representative?”
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's Are they coming as local officials in the sector? Or are they coming as messengers of equal power? "
At this moment, Palpatine struck a fatal blow. , this is also a problem that those pacifists have no way to solve -
Legal principles! The Confederacy of Independent Systems has always regarded itself as an independent regime from the Galactic Republic, but the Galactic Republic has never considered them to be an independent regime.
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, but what about the name? What about legal principles? Let’s make it clear first. Unless you admit that you are part of our Galactic Republic, all is said and done.
From Padmé's perspective, if they agree to view the Confederation 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 also faced by Mina Bontry! She must not accept sector-level treatment, otherwise, it would be treason.
This is a dead end!
Both Count Dooku and Palpatine had good and legitimate reasons to reject peace.
Because between the outer ring and the inner ring of the Milky Way, not to mention ethnicity, even race, and even origin 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 at all.
The Galactic Republic 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 and regained a powerful mobile fleet!
The two sides started a bloody battle near the planet Antar 5, and General Grievous personally directed the battle. His military talent was brought to full play. The fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was extremely ferocious under his command, biting the fleet of the Galactic Republic like a jackal.
The Jedi Order organized a beheading operation against General Grievous. However, after forcibly boarding Grievous's flagship, the Invisible Hand, they were defeated by General Grievous's powerful strength. With nothing to do, the two Jedi Masters were killed by General Grievous in 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 to him from Darth Sidious. !
Sidious is telling him what is real strength, what is real power!
industry! science and technology! productive forces! fleet!
Everything is in his hands, turning into an extremely powerful sword!
The Confederation of Independent Systems, Count Dooku, the Angel of Death...
You...can't resist!
