The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge
Chapter 376 The Liquidation of the Losers
374、The Liquidation of the Losers
After the celebration and commendation of the winners, the losers will naturally have to stand on the trial platform for trial.
In the vicious event of the Trade Federation invasion of the planet Naboo, several direct participants have been captured. Among them, Dolthe Dove, the senior director of the trade union, died in the battle with the destruction of the robot control ship. The governor of the trade union, Newt Gunley, and his adjutant, Lune Harkle, were in the palace of the planet Naboo. captured.
Xiao Guanghua, a military observer of the Fourth Civilization, was also captured at the same time.
Of course, the term Fourth Civilization is not used in the Galactic Republic. At this time, Xiao Guanghua's identity is the action consultant of the Fourth Group. He appeared in this battle, and according to the statement of the commander of the Gungan army, Xiao Guanghua appeared as the commander of the robot army.
This situation immediately made the fourth group passive in the public opinion of the parliament.
It was also because of this incident that Tang Xiao originally wanted to visit the planet Naboo and have a meal at the celebration of the planet Naboo, but because of the ambiguous relationship between the planet Dawn and the fourth group, he was directly rejected by Amida. The ugly refusal of the queen made Tang Xiao, who thought he was extremely handsome, a little disappointed, so he dismissed Xiao Guanghua in a rage.
During the trial against Newt Gunley, Rune Harkle, and Xiao Guanghua, Speaker Schiff Palpatine immediately showed a completely different spirit from the previous Phoenix-Valorum, and he decisively demanded Indict three people for war crimes and demand huge compensation from the Trade Federation and the Fourth Group.
But the corruption of the Republic cannot be solved in a day or two. The Trade Federation refuses to admit that Newt Gunley’s actions are guilty. Their representative, Lott Dude, has repeatedly emphasized that it was the planet Naboo who broke the contract first, and the Trade Federation’s actions Just normal business practice.
He also took out the unequal treaty signed by the former king of Naboo, Als-Veruna, as evidence, showing that Naboo has not fulfilled its treaty obligations in the last whole year, causing 1.2 billion 400 million damage to the trade alliance. The loss of tens of millions of credit points.
However, the planet Naboo refused to recognize the validity of the treaty. Queen Amidala said that it was signed under the oppression of power, and the treaty itself violated the Constitution of the Republic.
Then several parties began to argue about this treaty again, endlessly.
The fourth group's attitude towards Xiao Guanghua is even simpler. Gross Shelby, who has been promoted to the director of the fourth group, did not participate in the hearing. Rosanna Gu, a representative of the fourth group who was also promoted, attended the hearing. des.
Rosanna just said lightly, "Xiao Guanghua was on vacation in the past, he didn't do anything, he just watched it for fun."
Gungan representative Ja-Ja-Binks said loudly: "I also participated in this battle as a general, and I saw Xiao Guanghua commanding the robot army with my own eyes!" But his appearance was not very convincing.
"As we all know, the robots of the Trade Federation are controlled by the robot control ship. What do you think Xiao Guanghua should do to command this battle?" Rosana looked at J-Ja-Binks coldly, "And you actually The general of the Gungan people? Hehe, I think I can imagine why the Gungan people's 100,000 troops were beaten to pieces and discarded their helmets and armor."
Now even the good-tempered Ja-Ja-Binks was angry. He jumped and said, "There are no cowards in the Gungans! More than ten thousand of our warriors lost their lives in the battle of the prairie! I won't allow you to insult Gungan like this." root people!"
"No offense intended, I'm just stating the facts," Roseanne said.
Her sharp words made JJ Binks, who had never seen such a big scene, almost collapsed. He tried to hit Xiao Guanghua with a water glass but was stopped, and the hearing ended without a problem again.
In the end, because the 48-hour detention time had expired, the law enforcement agencies of the Republic had no reason to continue to detain the three people. They could only release them temporarily, and asked them to be on call at any time, not to leave Coruscant, and to be on call.
Then Xiao Guanghua boarded Newt Gunley's spaceship that day, and the three left directly, each going back to their respective homes.
But the matter was not over yet. Speaker Schiff Palpatine convened an enlarged meeting the next day, and immediately put on the table a proposal to impose sanctions on the Trade Union and the Fourth Group.
According to the content of the sanctions, the trade alliance will be completely deprived of its trade privileges, and the trade alliance that has lost its trade privileges will no longer be a member of the free trade zone, and all their commercial activities in the outer ring star area will be heavily taxed.
Not only that, this proposal requires the Trade Federation to completely disband their defense fleet, and the work of protecting their routes will be handed over to the Republic's local defense fleet, and the Trade Federation needs to pay a lot of money to maintain the work of the local defense fleet.
For the fourth group, Speaker Palpatine also proposed a direct fine of 5 billion credits, free post-war reconstruction for Planet Naboo, revoked insulting advertisements for the Republic, and disbanded the defense fleet, stopping the production of combat ships and Sale.
If these sanctions are enforced, it will basically be the death sentence for the Trade Federation and the Fourth Group.
But the two companies have no intention of accepting sanctions at all. Not only that, but their representatives, Lot Dude and Rosanna Goodes, did not withdraw from the Galactic Council as many people imagined, but continued to stay in the Galactic Council. All kinds of gossip in parliament.
And at this time, a very delicate situation also appeared in the Galactic Council.
Those who strongly demanded severe punishment of the Trade Union and the fourth group were mostly representatives of the planets in the inner ring and the core area, while the representatives of the planets in the outer ring were mostly ambiguous, or simply openly supported the trade union.
But Speaker Palpatine was also very straightforward. At a meeting, he publicly declared that those planets that supported corporate giants such as the Trade Federation were bought by them and were the root of corruption in the Galactic Parliament.
He attributed the corruption of Phoenix-Valorum to the bribes and bribes of corporate giants such as the Trade Federation, and he began to guide the wind in the parliament. All members who supported the Trade Federation were bought and corrupted. Yes, the sinners of the Republic.
Speaker Palpatine intentionally or unintentionally overlooked a fact, because the economic lifeline of many planets in the Outer Rim star region relies on corporate giants such as the Trade Federation to operate. For some planets that are not capable of interstellar navigation, the connection between them and the Republic also relies on trade alliances.
Even if there is exploitation in this process, at least it is a guarantee for their economic development and star domain security, which is exactly what the Republic cannot give. These planets support the trade alliance, which is actually understandable, and it is also a normal political orientation behavior.
However, Palpatine's approach is to please the developed planets in the inner ring and the core circle that are truly profound, and to label the backward planets in the outer ring and kick them aside.
Soon, councilors from the Outer Ring Star District, including Councilor Ainle-Tim, began to find that they were becoming more and more isolated in the parliament, and their voices became smaller and smaller. The former ring group also fell apart because of the betrayal of the leader Orn Free-Ta.
But at this moment, a person stood up.
Dawn star senator, Francis Underwood.
