The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

360、The Speaker Resigns

The words of Senator Schiff Palpatine are undoubtedly a betrayal of Finnis Valorum, but no one cares about how he feels as the speaker. So what if this is the real reason? Who cares? Is there still less blame on his Valoron's back? I don't care about taking more of this.

Lot Dude, the representative of the Trade Union, flew over the anti-gravity platform and said loudly, "It's nonsense! There is no invasion at all, and all the actions of the Trade Union are legal!"

"The Trade Federation has not been allowed to speak yet!" Phoenix-Valoren reprimanded angrily.

"Let me invite the new queen of Naboo, Queen Amidala, to speak," said Senator Palpatine.

Queen Amidala stood up and said: "Dear Members of the Republic, I must regret to tell you that the planet Naboo was brutally invaded by the Robot Legion of the Trade Federation just before!"

"This is simply impossible! This incident has never happened, you are lying!" Lot Dude directly ignored the order of Speaker Valorum not to allow him to speak, and interrupted Ami loudly Queen Dara, "The Trade Federation requests to send an investigation team to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

As long as the investigation team is sent out, it will take a long time, and you can also make a fuss about the investigation team. The big problem is money, and the trade union lacks everything else, except money.

"Planet Marathal agrees with the Trade Federation and requests to send a survey team to Planet Naboo." Councilor Ainle-Tim stood up and said.

Finnis-Valoren looked at the Gran man again. He also didn't expect Tim's statement, because the planet Marathal was blocked by the Enterprise Alliance just two years ago! It stands to reason that they should share the same illness as Planet Naboo, but his statement now can only explain one thing...

The Galactic Council, which represents the supreme authority of the Republic, has decayed...

"Dawn Star, support the decision to send an investigation team." Dawn Star Councilor Francis Underwood stood up and seconded, with a modest smile on his face at all times, and he exchanged a look with Councilor Tim.

That's right, the Congress of the Republic has indeed decayed, that's why the planets in the outer ring star region began to drift away from the Republic.

Phoenix-Valoren didn't see this, he was old, too many things involved his energy, he couldn't see such a distant place. It's time for the curtain call of his stage play.

Seeing that many congressmen supported sending an investigation team, Phoenix Valoren wanted to say something, but the deputy speaker Mas Ameda whispered a few words to him, and Valoren turned pale and took a deep breath. In one breath, he said: "The proposal is accepted! Queen Amidala of Naboo, do you agree with the Republic sending an investigation committee to investigate?"

Queen Amidala said loudly: "I disagree! I risked my life to break through the blockade and came to Coruscant, asking the Republic to help us stop this invasion! My people are starving, and a large number of civilians die every day from the Cold and hungry, and you're here talking about whether the invasion even existed?"

"We are trying to help the planet Naboo," Valoren said.

"Then please stop the trade alliance immediately and let them withdraw their troops!" Queen Amidala said loudly, she looked at the speechless Phoenix-Valoren, and said slowly, "If the Speaker If your Excellency is unable to perform your duties, then I hope that the Assembly of the Republic can elect a new leader, a leader who can help us!"

She looked around, "As a planet of victims of war, I formally propose a vote of no confidence in the current speaker, Phoenix-Valorum, and start the impeachment process!"

Phoenix-Valorum's face suddenly turned pale, and he slumped down on his seat as if he was powerless. The noisy parliament hall swirled around him like a phantom, and he felt empty in his heart.

Finally, the moment has come.

From 44BBY, leading the Galactic Republic Council to the present, 12 years of ups and downs, he has witnessed the most corrupt and darkest moment of the Republic, and he tried hard to turn the tide, but the darkness finally engulfed him.

If the planet Naboo requests a vote of no confidence to impeach him as a victim of the war, the voting will start immediately according to the procedure, and he will bid farewell to the political arena completely in two or three days at the latest.

He doesn't think it's impossible for him to get a majority of votes in the current parliamentary situation.

...

"I've decided, and I'll sign it. On the clone army agreement." Jedi Master Seve Dias told Master Dooku in a mansion on Coruscant.

Master Dooku wears a small white flower on his chest. His elder brother, the Earl of Planet Serenno, passed away due to illness a few days ago. According to family etiquette, he needs to use this to mourn.

"What made you make up your mind, Master Dias, my friend." Master Dooku said in a deep voice.

"Planet Naboo...the Republic cannot do anything during this invasion. Today, the parliament began the impeachment process against Speaker Valorum, and he is destined to step down. I don't know where the future of the Republic will go, but, at least I Something can be done for the future of the republic," Seve-Díaz said.

"You have a good relationship with Speaker Valorum, and I know you are sad too. But, looking forward, maybe the Republic will become better under the leadership of the new speaker. And on Planet Naboo, Master Qui-Gon Jinn Right there, he is my best apprentice, I know him, he will solve this crisis." Master Dooku said.

Seve Dias nodded and said, "I hope so."

Saying goodbye to Master Dooku, Seve Dias sent messages to Hego Damask II and Rama Su respectively, telling them of his decision, and will soon go to the planet Kamino, under the guise of the Jedi Order to sign the contract.

Just when he was about to go to his shuttle, he suddenly received a communication from Phoenix-Valoren. He frowned and connected.

"Master Dias, I regret to say that as far as I know, the vote of no confidence in me has exceeded 70% in this impeachment, so at this time tomorrow, I will no longer be the Speaker of the Assembly of the Republic ’ said Valoron.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker," Dias said.

"We have known each other for 20 years. We fought side by side when I was not the chairman, but now, you can only rely on yourself to move forward, at the most critical moment of this republic." Valoren sighed , "However, at least while I am the Speaker, I hope to do one last thing for the Republic."

"You say."

"You also know that in the past two years, I have been asking you to fight against the evil forces in the country. In fact, I have long known that I have lost control of those corporate giants and political giants. What I can do in the parliament Fewer and fewer, but at least I still have the power to fight these gangsters and smugglers, hehe..." Valoren smiled wryly, "This is the last information I got, a group of Pikes are on the planet Felucia Spice smuggling, I hope you will investigate and arrest this group of people."

"No problem, Your Excellency Speaker, this is exactly what I am good at." Master Dias said.

"Don't say that, I can't afford to be the speaker, haha." Valoren smiled.

"I will hunt down this group of Pikes. I believe that our efforts will not be in vain! The Galactic Republic will definitely have a bright future!!" Dias said firmly.

"Hearing this, I feel relieved." Phoenix-Valoren said: "The candidates for the new speaker include Bel-Antiris from the planet Alderaan, and Ainle-Ti from the planet Marathal. Mu and Naboo's Shiv-Palpatine, although I can't see through Palpatine recently, but I believe in his ability. Although he betrayed me, I will still vote for him. Hope Republic, for the better."
