Chapter 1235 Undercurrents (I’m asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month)
In the next few days, Duanmuhuai took Ojis, An and Mary to travel around Coruscant, and was so happy - after all, Palpatine was reimbursed, so Duanmuhuai would naturally be unpolite.
Just as Duanmuhuai and others were spending money to eat and drink and traveling around, a silver spacecraft came to the apron outside the Galaxy Parliament. Then, a woman with complicated headdresses walked out of it.
“Welcome to Corusan, Queen Amirada.”
Seeing her appearance, Palpatine smiled and stepped forward to greet her.
"Hello, Councillor Palpatine."
Looking at Palpatine in front of him, Amirada, the queen of the planet Nab, also bowed her head and saluted.
"I''ve worked hard all the way, I guess you must be very difficult."
“That’s true.”
Hearing Palpatine''s inquiry, Queen Amirada did not respond on the surface, but her tone seemed very stiff.
“I never thought I would be questioned at the Galaxy Parliament.”
As she spoke, Queen Amirada looked at the two Jedi soldiers standing not far behind her with complaints, and then withdrew her gaze.
Now Queen Amirada is indeed full of complaints and is even very dissatisfied with the Galaxy Parliament. You should know that when the trade alliance blocked Nab, the Galaxy Parliament pretended to be deaf and dumb, no matter how much it asked for help, it would shirk all kinds of words.
As a result, as soon as the blockade was lifted, the Galaxy Parliament immediately sent the Jedi to Nab, and wanted to ask Queen Amirada what did she have to do with the mysterious fleet that defeated the Trade Alliance fleet!
Although the Jedi was very polite, Queen Amirada was not stupid either. No matter how I asked for help, you all said that you would go through the process, as slow as a snail. As a result, you sent someone to interrogate me the next day after the lockdown was lifted? The process is not gone? When did the Galaxy Parliament get so fast? Before, you didn’t react so quickly when Nabu was blocked. Now that the blockade is lifted, you react faster than anyone else!
What’s wrong, we can bully it, right!
Thinking of this, Queen Amirada became more and more angry the more she thought about it. After all, she was young and energetic. Although she was still calm on the surface, she could still feel the strong resentment in her words.
"I can understand your mood, Queen."
Looking at the little queen in front of her, Palpatine smiled.
"But I believe you should have nothing to do with this matter."
"Do you believe me?"
I have to say that when Queen Amirada heard Palpatine''s answer, she was somewhat surprised. She could see that the other party was not perfunctory or social rhetoric, but was really thinking so. You know, even in Nab, there are actually many people who doubt whether the Queen has anything to do with that mysterious fleet, but Palpatine completely believes in her?
Well, of course Palpatine believed her, because Duanmu Huai told him that the reason why the Inquisition appeared there was simply because he saw that humans were threatened.
So this matter has nothing to do with Queen Nab herself.
"certainly."
Palpatine also knew that it was wrong to stand here, so he made a gesture, then turned around and walked towards the parliament with the queen. On the way, Palpatine also explained to the queen.
"Maybe you still don''t know that in fact, similar things have happened all the time during this period."
"Similar things? Member of parliament, are you referring to blocking other planets?"
"Hahaha, of course not. I mean the fleet attacked by that mysterious fleet...the trade alliance is not the first, nor the last."
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Queen Amirada was somewhat surprised, while Palpatine smiled and said nothing.
As Palpatine said, during this period, Aicot has been following Palpatine''s list. She will first send a reconnaissance fleet to lock in the target, and then when the other party leaves the galaxy, the command fleet suddenly appears, completely destroy it, and then disappear quickly.
The whole process was like an assassin, killing him with one blow and escaping thousands of miles away.
In fact, under the command of Aikot, no one was discovered by the next few operations. When the local patrol fleet found that the situation was wrong, they saw only the wreckage of the warships. All the warships were blown into pieces by the dense firepower of the Inquisition, and even a complete cabin could not be found.
Everyone could only judge from the traces left by the debris of the warship, some of which were left by the attacks were related to the mysterious fleet that once appeared on the planet Nab.
After several similar attacks occurred, the Galaxy Parliament naturally became more and more nervous, especially when they sorted out and found that the races attacked were all opponents of Galaxy Parliament Speaker Valoren... Well, the situation suddenly became subtle.
At the same time, Speaker Valoren''s situation is getting worse and worse.
Although the incident of the Goddess''s Protective Guard has been nearly a thousand years, the races of the Galaxy Parliament can remember that when the Goddess'' Protective Guard rose, it began when a human family who believed in the Goddess''s belief ascended the position of Speaker of the Galaxy!
And now a thousand years have passed, is Valoren planning to replicate this history? Could it be that he is also a goddess believer in private?
Speaker Valoren naturally shouted for justice, but no one would believe what he said. Even the Jedi Committee expressed distrust of Speaker Valoren - after all, this kind of thing is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of if. From the trade alliance to the next several attacks, all were opponents of Speaker Valoren. According to the principle that whoever benefits and who is suspicious is the most important, if you say you don’t know about it, who will believe it?
All those who believe in idiots are OK.
"So that''s it, this kind of thing happened..."
After listening to Palpatine''s story, Queen Amirada was also quite surprised.
"This time I asked you to come to the Galaxy Parliament, not to question it. In fact, the representatives of the parliament have planned to file a case of distrust against Speaker Valoron, and it is only a matter of time before he was removed. Next, a new Speaker will be elected."
Speaking of this, Palpatine''s eyes also had a hint of helplessness. He originally planned to take advantage of the blockade of the planet Nab, to show his decisive attitude, to cut off from the current speaker, and to serve as the new Speaker of the Galaxy on this grounds.
But the fact of the goddess''s personal guard is too sensitive. It can be said that as soon as this happened, other races were instantly alert to humans. Although Palpatine made a deal with the Separatists in private, they should be supporting themselves, Palpatine couldn''t say whether these delegates would change their minds when voting.
From this point of view, the emergence of the Inquisition disrupted all Palpatine''s plans, making his plan to serve as the Speaker of the Galaxy a little more difficult.
But from another point of view, Palpatine felt that the difficulty was worth it after obtaining such a powerful helper as the Inquisition.
In the Galactic Parliament after that, representatives of various races made a case of distrust against Valoren and passed it unanimously. However, Valoren''s trouble was not only there. After being impeached, he was immediately arrested by the parliament and interrogated. As for the new speaker... Well, although the process was a bit thrilling, the benefits Palpatine gave to those members on weekdays were not given in vain, and Palpatine was elected with a high vote.
Of course, at the election ceremony, Palpatine also declared that he would work together for the prosperity and development of the Galactic Republic and never succumb to the threat of violence...
At the same time, the Jedi Committee also received an investigation report on Speaker Valoren.
"Is what is said above true?"
Looking at the report in front of him, Kui Gangjin looked puzzled. According to the above statement, after a parliamentary investigation, he learned that the fleet was actually a mercenary privately funded by Speaker Valoron. He said that he had always tried to consolidate his position and eliminate dissidents, so he had been privately funding mercenaries and transforming a fleet through cargo ships. The reason why he was named after the Goddess''s personal guard was just to attract attention to the group of mercenaries. Even the previous corruption scandal was considered to be the cause of Speaker Valoren, because he needed a large sum of money to support this group of mercenaries, so he chose to be corrupt...
The whole report is not unreasonable, but Kui Gangjin feels something is wrong no matter how he reads it. For example, that fleet, which reads that Speaker Valoren bought a large number of second-hand cargo ships to transform them in order to avoid suspicion. But Kuigangjin, who has witnessed those warships with his own eyes, can be sure that it is not a transformed cargo ship, but a real warship.
And Speaker Valoren, the Jedi Committee is not unfamiliar with it. An incompetent and good-looking man really has such ability? Can even the Jedi Committee be deceived?
You are afraid you are not joking, but it doesn’t seem real no matter how you think about it?
But other races in the Galaxy Parliament recognized the investigation results, and even if the Jedi Committee raised objections, it would be useless.
"Whether it is true or not, the next thing is to investigate."
The black Jedi sitting on the chair stared at Kui Gangjin.
"According to this information, those mercenaries are located in Tatooin, and the next thing you have to do is go to Tatooin and investigate the authenticity of this information."
"What if it is...what if it is true?"
Kui Gangjin frowned and stared at the other party. He knew how powerful that fleet was. Kui Gangjin was even sure that there was no force in the Galaxy Republic that could suppress the other party. Take a step back and say, even if what is said above is true, what can I do if I am a Jedi? Could it be that all those hundreds of warships could be blown up?
Is it possible?
"Investigate carefully and act secretly."
The black Jedi repeated it again.
"We suspect that there is another hidden truth behind this matter. No matter what, don''t act rashly."
"I see."
When the other party talked about this, Kui Gangjin had nothing else to say. Whether it was true or false, you would know it after you went there.
