1722. The end of the Galactic Republic (3)
Although the two disastrous defeats in the Model Sector Raid and the Yago-Dur Battle, the following emergency public relations made the senior officials of the Galactic Republic seem It was as usual that we got through this crisis, but in fact, it was not like that.
The Battle of Yago-Dur was blamed on sudden astronomical phenomena, and the Raid Battle of the Model Sector, although the first cauldron belonged to Laszlo Dolit, this battle really took on the responsibility All the responsibility lies with Kuat Power Dockyard.
Everything seems to have nothing to do with the Galactic Republic, however, it is far from the case!
The defeat of these two battles caused a trend of defeatism to appear in the Republic Parliament. They began to believe that the Galactic Republic could no longer end this war as a winner. This war seems to be going on for a long time, and in the process, the Galactic Republic is likely to be overwhelmed.
However, there are other people who believe that the reason why this war has reached this stage is entirely because the war has been artificially escalated. Now the war between the two sides is no longer in the nature of a civil war. In many cases, they even have the will to destroy the other side's country and species.
Therefore, they called for cooling down the war, trying to get both sides to return to the negotiating table, and while discussing the future of the galaxy, they deeply reflected on the serious consequences of this disastrous war.
This group of people is headed by Bail Organa and Mon Mothma.
It needs to be pointed out that their ideas are different from those of the defeatist congressmen before. Their loyalty and belief in the Republic are very firm, but they are also keenly aware of some clues of human intervention in the war process. They also see that if the war continues, it will definitely lead to more serious consequences.
So they called for a new negotiation process.
More and more congressmen have gathered around Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, and most of these congressmen are wary of the abnormal trend of the current parliament.
Because as the war progresses, more and more power is concentrated on Sheev Palpatine. He started with the "Emergency Ruling Power" at the beginning, and later the "Military Creation Act". Until now, many bills and affairs of the Republic, large and small, have actually bypassed the Parliament, or in other words, many bills are being submitted for discussion. , execution has already begun. And Palpatine only told the parliament the result during the meeting.
And some of the policies implemented by Sheev Palpatine are also very worrying.
For example, in his previous motion, he strengthened the voting proportion of the core circle and inner ring planet members, and weakened the voting proportion of the middle ring and outer ring planet members. As a result, those planets in the central and outer star regions have fewer and fewer opportunities to fight for their reasonable rights and interests in the parliament.
Every time in the parliament, looking at the few votes on the electoral machine, the feeling of powerlessness in the hearts of the members of the planets in the middle and outer rings becomes stronger and stronger. They could only watch as stringent laws were promulgated, making their planet bear an increasingly heavy burden of war.
This is no longer the era before Palpatine came to power, when the Central and Outer Rim sectors could unite to form the Rim Faction and form a powerful force. The current Parliament of the Galactic Republic has truly become a world where the weak eat the strong, and it is the dining table where those powerful planets eat the big cake of the Milky Way! The power of the Republic is concentrating on the core circle and inner ring planets, and with the support of the MPs in these sectors, Palpatine's power in the parliament is also growing!
During the course of the war, Palpatine also gathered those members who were loyal to him, forming a group called the Loyalist Council, which initially fought against the Ring members.
Later after the Ring Faction collapsed, the Loyalist Council became more and more influential in the Parliament. And on this basis, the Commission for the Protection of the Republic (Commission for the Protection of the Republic), referred to as COMPOR, was established.
The scope of the Republic Protection Committee is not limited to members, but a broad organization covering almost the entire Galactic Republic.
This organization advocates Palpatine's wise leadership, builds momentum for the war, and travels among the major planets to win their support for Palpatine and the Galactic Republic.
In the past year or so, the actions of the Republic Protection Committee have become more and more frequent. They began to hold marches and speeches on many planets. Driven by them, Palpatine's support rate is getting higher and higher, and no one can shake it.
This is not all. On the basis of COMPOR, a new organization has been established in the past six months - the Youth League of the Republic (theSub-AdultGroup), referred to as SAGroup.
The members of the Republic Youth League are all minors. Under the targeted brainwashing education and indoctrination, they have almost fanatical loyalty to Sheev Palpatine! Their enthusiasm for Palpatine even surpasses that of their parents and elders, and even surpasses the Galactic Republic itself!
The Youth League of the Republic has been very active since its establishment and often holds public events such as Youth League speech contests. In order to express his support for the Republic Youth League, Sheev Palpatine often appeared at these events in person.
For example, at the finals of a Republic Youth League speech contest, Sheev Palpatine suddenly arrived in a shuttle without warning, then personally hung a medal on the stunned champion, and appointed him on the spot as a reserve cadre of the Republic's Propaganda Department.
The scene at that time was so heated that it got out of control!
Actually, from the perspective of the Principality of Dawn, you would think that the Galactic Republic must be a gloomy doomsday scene, but in fact it is far from that.
There is gloom and gloom, but it is limited to the parliament. But the true ruling core of the Republic, the planets in the Inner Ring and Core Circle, are still full of joy. After all, although the Galactic Republic is surrounded by enemies on all sides, no enemy can threaten the inner and core circles!
Therefore, the Loyalist Committee acted in Parliament, the Republic Protection Committee acted in society, the Republic Youth League widely mobilized the youth of the Republic, and the support of the entire Galactic Republic for the current Speaker Sheev Palpatine has reached an extremely high level. To the point of fanaticism.
And from the perspective of those in the middle and outer ring star regions, there is another very worrying thing - whether it is the Republic Protection Committee or the Republic Youth League, it seems that intentionally or unintentionally, most of its members are humans!
If we consider that the human race, which is the descendant of the philosopher, does have a numerical advantage in the core circle and the inner ring, while the middle ring and outer ring star areas are mostly non-human races, then the power of the Republic is now transferred to the core circle and the inner ring. Concentration in the inner ring may be a very dangerous signal! (End of this chapter)
