Chapter 1495: Secret Gathering of Treason
1495. Secret Gathering of Treason
“Palpatine’s ambitions are no longer concealed at all! He directly bypassed the Parliament to deal with the Jedi Order. , has ignored the constraints of the parliament. And...how dare he attack the Jedi Order?" Padmé Amidala was in great pain.
What made her even more painful was that she had no idea what role Anakin Skywalker played in this matter.
“I am now worried that our loyalty to the Republic has gradually begun to move in another direction.” Bail Organa said in his rich and steady voice, “In other words, we are dedicated to the wrong object. Loyalty..."
He took a deep breath, "We have been fighting against autocracy and hegemony for a long time, and democracy has always been the weapon we are proud of. However, now, I find that the Republic itself has become the devil it once was its enemy. "
"We have to find a way to stop them!" said another council member, Bana Brimer. "Especially for Sheev Palpatine, I'm worried about his power over time. It will become bigger and bigger. Looking back now, he has been doing this every day since the war broke out."
Bana Breemu is a parliamentary representative of the planet Humbarine. , the Humbalin Star District where she is located was once one of the important industrial bases in the core area of the Republic.
But because the Hambalin sector where this planet is located is very close to the Trade Federation's home planets Cato-Neimoidia and Balmoral-Neimoidia, when Seve When Lance Tann took the Plague Titan battleship all the way to the planet Cato Neimoidia, some planets in the Humbalin sector were briefly occupied by the Trade Alliance for a short period of time amid the chaos.
It is precisely because of this that she is often attacked by some political opponents in the name of a separatist capitulator, but in fact, she is one of the most loyal supporters of the Galactic Republic.
"But what should we do now? Even for this incident in the Jedi Order, Palpatine has a good reason - Master Yoda tried to assassinate him. This reason is very good." Mon Mothma said.
Bail Organa looked at Padmé Amidala, who was weak and leaning on the sofa, still a little distracted. She shook her head and sighed: "Now that we are alone, it is difficult. Confronted Palpatine. I think our top priority now is to save the Jedi Order as soon as possible. We should start with Palpatine's evidence of accusations against the Jedi Order and demand that the accusations against the Jedi Order be re-examined. Investigate, maybe we can buy them some time."
"I must remind you that what we are doing now is very dangerous," Bana Brimer said. Have you ever thought that what we have done is actually getting closer to treason?"
Mont Mothma was shocked, "What did you say? Treason? Rehabilitate?"
Bana Brimer said solemnly: "More than that, if our opposition continues, then opposing Palpatine itself will become treason."
< br>
"How is this possible?!" Mon Mothma was shocked.
Bail Organa nodded and said: "Bana is right, Senator Mothma. As Palpatine becomes more and more powerful, he is drawing a line between himself and the Galactic Republic. "Sign up, to oppose Palpatine is to oppose the Galactic Republic. At that time, maybe we will really be marked as treason."
"If this is the case, once we become traitors, Then the sector we represent will also..." Mon-Mosma's face turned pale, "will also be charged with treason! The entire sector will be sanctioned by the Republic!"
"Unfortunately, indeed. So." Bail Organa sighed, "When the day comes, we will have to surrender." Mon Mothma looked at the hazy sky outside the window, his eyes flickering and becoming more determined. , she said slowly: "In that case, we must do something before things are irreversible."
She stood up suddenly, "Apply for administrative review of the Jedi Order incident!"
Bana Brimmer said: "Palpatine initiated Order 66 through emergency ruling authority. , now we are applying for administrative review. Although it makes sense in law, Palpatine can also interpret it with emergency ruling power. There is no way to overthrow him. Our biggest disadvantage now is that we are in a state of war, as long as it is in a state of war. In the direction of war, the emergency decision-making power in Palpatine's hands is invincible."
However, at this time, a somewhat weak voice suddenly remembered: "No, we can indeed apply for administrative review. But the object of our application is not the Jedi Order, but Order 66 itself..."
The speaker was Padmé Amidala! She rested for a while, finally feeling much better, and then used her excellent political mind to think about the problem again.
"What's going on?" Mon-Mothma asked.
Now she is still young and still not sensitive enough to these political issues.
“Palpatine connected the launch of Order 66 with emergency powers, giving us the illusion that he initiated Order 66 through emergency powers. But in fact, this is not the case... ...The emergency ruling power can only allow him to directly submit a motion to initiate Order 66, but cannot directly execute it." Padmé Amidala's voice was still small, but it was loud and to the point.
Bail Organa's expression froze, and she suddenly realized, "That's true! Even if Palpatine directly uses emergency ruling power to convict the Jedi Order, the launch of Order 66 must be approved by the Supreme Court of the Republic and the Parliament. Sign! But now he didn't follow these procedures at all, but directly launched Order 66! This only shows that the procedure for launching this order is wrong!"
He is also an activist and immediately continued. : "We must start preparations immediately! Collect all the intelligence on the launch of Order 66! Then draft an impeachment motion to formally impeach Palpatine on the grounds of illegal launch of Order 66!"
" Okay, I'll do it. I know some friends in the military, and they should be able to provide me with some information." Mon-Mosma said.
"This impeachment has taken us further and further down the road of treason..." Bana Brimmer sighed, "Okay, but we must also be cautious. Leave it to me at the Supreme Court. I'm going to lobby them."
However, at this moment, a message was suddenly sent to Padmé Amidala's communicator. She raised her hand and looked pale!
"The Republic army... is besieging the Jedi Temple! Leading them... is Anakin Skywalker!"
