The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1431. New War Machine (Part 2)

"But separatism has developed genetic weapons against the clone army! This also means that we must be more cautious!" Bail Organa also stood up and said, "The words of Congressman Amidala just now are very correct. This war It's turning into a technology-to-kill contest between our Galactic Republic and the Separatists. It's meaningless... I'm willing to do anything to end this war."

"Ah, you are right, Senator Bail Organa." Palpatine replied, "The genetic weapon is because the Kamino planet was attacked by the separatist army. But this is also something that can't be helped, after all The Kamino planet is located in a satellite dwarf galaxy on the outskirts of the Milky Way, and it is difficult for our fleet to reach it smoothly. And I believe that Master Shak-Ti and Master Pulo-Kong of the Jedi Order have also tried their best, and they cannot be blamed for this."

When Palpatine said this, he actually put the Jedi Order on the fire again. Even if he said he didn't blame them, he actually emphasized the important role of these two Jedi masters in the Kamino planetary battle, and intentionally or unintentionally strengthened the role played by the Jedi Order in this failure.

As he said that, Palpatine's tone also became cold, "And... the end of the war should also be based on our victory? Mr. Bail Organa."

His voice was low and slow, and after listening to it, it just made people shudder.

"The road to peace has long been blocked by separatism. All we can do is to grit our teeth and persevere until the final victory." Palpatine went on to say, "In view of the Onderon Star Wars, ordinary soldiers cannot The problem of fighting against the robot army, this only shows one thing - rebuilding a new clone army is imperative."

Bail Organa, Padmé Amidala and others suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Wilhof Tarkin said loudly on the stage: "So, I proposed a new clone army plan! Regarding this matter, I invite the Arkanian Clone Master to help We explain!"

I saw only one of the anti-gravity platforms flying out, and there were four or five humans dressed as scientists standing on it. One of the leaders bowed to the surroundings and said, "Please allow us, Arkanian Microtechnologies, Let me introduce to you, our company's clone trooper products."

The councilors participating in the meeting suddenly went into an uproar, and the councilors from Planet Kamino stood up abruptly, looking very angry.

The clone master went on to say: "Our company's clone trooper products are developed based on the Spaarti cloning technology (Spaarti cylinders). The main advantage of this clone trooper product is that it grows extremely fast, but the conditions for manufacturing It’s not that harsh. Our clone trooper product can grow into an adult within a year and go to war.”

"One year? So fast?" Some congressmen were very surprised.

"That's right, one year. It's just that the shelf life of these soldiers is not long, and it can be used for about one year. Therefore, we do not have high requirements for the original body and manufacturing of these soldiers. Separatism developed Gene-targeted weapons? No problem, we can just change a clone original body. In addition, these soldiers use memory flash pumping technology (Flash pumping) to learn, although the speed is very fast, but the success rate will be reduced, and the use of Not as skilled as the clone troopers on Kamino... but it doesn't matter, consumables."

"Are you treating clones as consumables? Tools?" Padmé Amidala showed anger.

"Ah, I guess that's a technical premise for us to discuss this," said the Clone Master.

"But even for a year, we can't wait. How should we deal with it?" Another congressman asked.

The clone master said: "It doesn't matter, we are ready. Our Alcania Micro Manufacturing Company has established a clone base on the Centax-2 satellite, and there are already a group of about 10 million Spati clones. The growth of soldiers is complete. Excluding those substandard products, it should be able to supply 8 million troops immediately."

Hearing his words, Bail Organa stood up abruptly, pointed at Master Clone's nose and said loudly: "Centax-2 satellite? You better be wrong!! Because this satellite is a satellite of Coruscant!! Yes Who gave you the authorization to build such an unlicensed military-industrial facility next to the capital of our Galactic Republic!! And you quietly built an army next to our capital?!"

"This is a construction funded by our company, and all funds and resources are borne by us." Master Clone said lightly.

"Just for your behavior, I can send you to the Supreme Court!!" Bail Organa said through gritted teeth.

"No need, Senator Organa." Schiff Palpatine said suddenly and coldly, "This project of the Alcanian Micro Manufacturing Company was specially approved by me - it was raided by the separatists on the planet Kamino , after most of the clone factories were destroyed."

"This is also inconsistent with the Constitution of the Galactic Republic!" Bail Organa exclaimed.

"According to my judgment, this project is related to the victory or defeat of the ongoing war of the Galactic Republic, and also to the survival of the Republic. Therefore, I have directly approved this project through the power of emergency ruling. Is there any problem? Organa Senator." Palpatine said slowly.

Bail Organa's face turned pale immediately.

Then, Schiff-Palpatine said: "Judging from the current situation of the war, I think it is very necessary to mass-produce the instant Spati clone soldiers. However, the scale of production and the funds invested also need to be submitted. Parliamentary discussion. So, I am now formally submitting this bill to the parliament-about investing in the construction of Spati clone trooper facilities and forming a brand new clone army."

"I object!" Padmé Amidala stood up and said loudly, "First invest a lot of money to form a clone army in Kamino! Then recruit 1 billion soldiers across the galaxy! Then invest more money to repair Kamino’s clone factory! And now, they are investing money to form Spati’s clone army? Is this going to collapse the Republic’s finances?!”

Wilhuff Tarkin also stood up at this time, and said slowly: "So, I have a plan-let those planets that once supported separatism and are now liberated under the military power of our Galactic Republic, Come and finance the project."
