Chapter 1105: Parliamentary Murder
1104: Parliamentary Murder
After Representative Onaconda-Fal was assassinated, Speaker Sheev Palpatine also found that public opinion was somewhat against the Lord. The war faction was unfavorable. He was worried that continuing would affect the vote, so he temporarily suspended the meeting on the grounds that a murder had occurred and safety could not be guaranteed, and sent an investigation team to investigate the matter.
At this time, almost everyone believed that the main war faction murdered Senator Farr. Such public opinion made Palpatine very passive.
However, after launching the investigation, it went surprisingly smoothly, and Onaconda Farr's assistant, Lolo Purs, was quickly identified.
But when it came to arresting Perth, they were still a step too late. Perth had already killed another congressman, who was surprisingly one of the core congressmen of the main war faction-MeeDeechi, a congressman from the planet Umbala. )!
Lolo Perce confessed to her crime and said that everything she did was for her planet. Because of this war, the cowardly and incompetent Onaconda Farr was unable to lead the Rodia planet to make any contribution. As a result, the planet continued to suffer oppression from the Confederation of Independent Systems on the one hand, and on the other hand it was still unable to negotiate with the Republic. At the end of the day, it’s both snake and mouse, nothing.
As a result, Perth's dissatisfaction with Onaconda Fall was growing, because Far not only did not think about how to survive this war, but instead spent all day talking to Padmé Ami Daala and Bail Organa, members of the peace faction, mingled together.
You must know that unlike planets such as Naboo and Alderaan, which have not been directly threatened so far, the threat of war on Rodia is very direct!
Lolo-Perce then carried out his own plan and killed Onaconda-Fal.
But then Mi-Diqi was an accident, because after Lolo-Pers killed Representative Farr, during the aftermath, he unexpectedly discovered that Mi-Diqi was actually following Representative Farr, which also allowed him to witness himself A secret meeting with Representative Farr.
Although I did not directly see the scene of her murder, it is still a hidden danger after all. Lolo Perce judged that Mi-Dici's actions were mostly to find some excuses for Congressman Onaconda Fall, so she followed the trend and quietly contacted Mi-Dici and told him that she knew that Congressman Fall was corrupt. Evidence of corruption.
Although Onaconda Fall is dead, if his political stains can be grasped, it will naturally be extremely helpful for voting on this military expansion bill. So Mi-Diqi was indeed fooled and met Lolo Perce in private, and was poisoned to death by her with poisoned wine.
At this point, the truth about the parliamentary murder case has been revealed, but what if we know the truth? What should have happened has already happened, and the serious consequences cannot be compensated by the death of one or two people.
Although this murder was an impromptu act without any premeditation, it still caused an extremely bad impact on Coruscant's political scene.
In order to maximize the impact of this murder, Bail Organa and Padmé Amidala focused their publicity on the fact that Lolo Perth chose to assassinate due to the pressure of the war, and also It was pointed out that the fundamental reason why Mi-Diqi was poisoned by Perth was because Mi-Diqi himself had evil intentions and wanted to follow Congressman Farr.
For a time, the main militant faction of the Galactic Republic fell into complete passivity. After calculation, they came to the conclusion that this time the military expansion bill is likely to not be passed.
However, Sheev Palpatine just smiled and didn't care at all.
The next day, an explosive news detonated the Coruscant political scene.
A regime change occurred on the planet Umbala. Pro-separatist forces came to power and formed a new government. At the same time, the planet Umbala announced its withdrawal from the Galactic Republic and joined the Confederation of Independent Systems!
Less than an hour after Planet Umbala issued the announcement, Planet Rodia also issued an announcement, also announcing its withdrawal from the Galactic Republic and joining the Confederation of Independent Systems!
The two planets where the congressmen were assassinated declared to secede from the Republic on the same day, which surprised everyone. All the congressmen were shocked that this murder had such serious consequences. When Palpatine saw the announcement from the planet Rodia, he was slightly surprised, but he still smiled and announced an emergency meeting.
The main reason why the planet Umbala betrayed the Galactic Republic was because of Mi-Diqi.
Although his behavior is extreme, he is indeed a person who is very loyal to the Galactic Republic, and he is also a fanatical war fighter.
It's just that he promoted the war more for his own interests. He colluded with Kaminoan Senator Halle Burtoni to continue to profit from clone army production orders.
So this time, Mi-Diqi was so concerned about the proposal to rebuild the clone factory.
But at the same time, his approach also brought a great burden to the planet Umbala, whether it was financial, political or military.
So when he died, the power he previously controlled suddenly disappeared. At this time, with the secret support and instigation of some forces, it became inevitable for the regime to change and join the Confederation of Independent Systems.
The Rodia planet is very simple. This planet is actually very close to the Christofsis planet and also very close to the Tatooine planet. Different from the original plot, the Fourth Civilization occupied Christophsis. As a result, the influence of separatism was very serious on the planet Rodia.
Congressman Onaconda-Farr continues to advocate for peace, but he also tries to make peace in the middle so that he can stay out of it.
But now Councilor Farr has been assassinated by his assistant Lolo Perth, and Perth's reasons are so thought-provoking. Also under the instigation and manipulation of agents of the Fourth Civilization, the planet Rodia finally made up its mind, reorganized its government, and directly joined the Confederation of Independent Systems in the first place.
Their reason is also very straightforward: since our Congressman Onaconda Fall, who was so loyal and sacrificed everything for the peace and future of the Republic, ended up being assassinated. This shows that the national policy of the Galactic Republic is not applicable to the current situation of Rodia planet at all.
So, they have to make changes.
The planet Rodia and Umbala joined the Confederation of Independent Systems. This explosive news panicked the Republic Council, and then Sheev Palpatine ignored Senator Bail Organa and Padmé- Councilor Amidala's objection forced a parliamentary vote.
Now the parliament is in panic, and many centrist members have voted for the war faction, allowing this round of military expansion bill to be passed with a high vote again.
Bail Organa and the others were opposed to this, but it was too late and they could only watch the Galactic Republic fall into a deeper abyss.
