1018. Mon Calamari Civil War (6)
Padmé-Amidala thought for a while and said, "Now we can only take advantage of the opportunity we can leave to leave this planet and return to Coruscant. Mina-Congressman, you and Prince Li-Char can form a government-in-exile in Coruscant..."
"Is it the same as Rynoth Councilor Orn Free Tower?" Mina-Tills snorted coldly.
"Yes, just like Orn Free Tower... I'm sorry..." Padmé-Amidala sighed.
"... Let's go..." Mina-Tills finally agreed.
Clone SCUBA troops immediately began to change direction and rushed towards the water. The biggest drawback of those strange jellyfish was their slow movement. They were finally left behind and they returned to Acclamator-class assault ship.
Although Reeve-Tamson ordered his two Defiant-class light destroyers to intercept them, he still had no choice but to watch them leave.
Back to Coruscant, Speaker Sheev-Palpatine immediately convened Republic Supreme Strategic Command and Master Windu for an emergency meeting.
After reporting on the situation of the Mon Calamari civil war and the reinforcements from Separatists, everyone had a worried look on their faces.
"One thing is for sure. Separatists was able to dispatch hundreds of thousands of underwater robots within a day or two, which shows that Quarren has been carrying out this plan for a long time." Master Windu said.
"Galactic Republic must send reinforcements to save my planet!" Mina-Tills said loudly.
"Don't worry, Senator Tills, this is exactly what we are discussing now." Palpatine replied with a smile.
"Maybe we need to invest more Clone Army." Anakin-Skywalker said.
"Maybe there are still underwater combat equipment, but there is no time to conduct underwater combat training for more Clone Trooper..." Master Windu said.
Master Yoda, who participated in the meeting remotely, pointed to his head and said, "Think, wake up your memory. Right in front of you, a brave and capable underwater race."
Padmé-Amidala suddenly raised his head and said loudly, "That's right! Gungan!! Gungan of Naboo! They are also an aquatic race! And the Booma they processed with plasma ore has great power underwater!"
"Ah, this is a good suggestion, Senator Amidala." Palpatine smiled, "But it is not easy to convince Gungan to leave the planet to fight. I will leave this matter to you."
"I will definitely convince Gungan!" Padmé-Amidala said.
"Except for Gungan, we are unable to send more troops. Mon Calamari's position is indeed very dangerous, and we can only pass through small-scale warships." Master Windu said.
Mina-Tills said, "Then I will stay in Coruscant and form a provisional government. I will not return to Mon Calamari for the time being. Prince Li-Char, you should stay with me."
Who knew that Prince Li-Char said firmly, "No! I must go back! I want to be with my people!"
"Mon Calamari, it's probably fallen now." Mina-Tills seemed a little unhappy at Prince Li-Char's rebuttal, "Do you want to go back and die?"
"If that's the case, then I want to go back! My people need me!" Prince Li-Char said decisively, not knowing where he got the courage.
"No matter what choice you make, I will do my best to protect your safety, Your Highness." Gial-Captain Akbar said.
"You have no place to speak here!" Mina-Tills roared in a low voice.
"This is my responsibility." Captain Akbar also directly pushed back.
"Then let it be like this, I will go on a mission with Jar Jar Binks as envoy to Naboo's Gungan." Padmé-Amidala said.
As they said, after Republic army retreated and the top management of the planet's core fled, the morale of the soldiers of Mon Calamari suddenly dropped to the bottom, and their resistance also collapsed.
The capital Coral Depths City fell first, followed by other cities.
After three days, Reeve-Tamson had occupied more than half of Mon Calamari's city.
"Take all the Mon Calamari and put them in the concentration camp! Leave none!" Reeve Tamson was elated and gave the order loudly.
The A-Q series underwater combat robots escorted groups of Mon Calamari, imprisoning them in designated concentration camps and becoming prisoners.
"The progress is still too slow!! In the past day, we only occupied one city! To occupy the entire planet, it will take at least half a year at this speed! This is simply a joke!!" Reeve Tamson suddenly turned around and roared at Nossori, the leader of Quarren, who was cruel and moody.
Those two rows of big fangs were dangling in front of Nossori, making him tremble with fear.
"What are you Quarren doing! My robot army is limited in number! You should move! Rush to the front line and occupy all the cities for me! Capture all Mon Calamari!" Reeve Tamson roared.
"The war is over! We won! There is no need to add more killings now!" Nossori finally plucked up the courage and retorted loudly, "The next step should be negotiation time. Let Prince Lee-Char temporarily abdicate. I will serve as Planet Regent, and the matter is over! I will join Confederacy of Independent Systems as agreed."
Unexpectedly, Reeve Tamsin laughed loudly as if he had heard some joke, "Regent? What are you talking about! The king is the king, there is no such thing as a regent! And... the one who is crowned and enthroned should be me, King Reeve Tamsin!"
"You... you..." Nossori was so angry that he, who was usually eloquent, couldn't even say a word now.
"Without my help, you Quarren are still just slaves of Mon Calamari! Without me, do you want to win this civil war? Hahahaha! Without me, your ending will be the same as thousands of years ago, being killed by Mon Calamari!!" Reeve Tamson grabbed the tentacles on Nossori's chin and said wildly.
"No! This is no longer that barbaric era! The dispute between Quarren and Mon Calamari should finally be resolved at the negotiation table!" Nossori struggled painfully and said loudly.
"You can't win anything at the negotiation table... Only on the battlefield!" Reeve Tamson looked ferocious. "I'll give you one last chance! Give me all your Quarren and send them to the front line! Go attack Mon Calamari! Go and take them back to the concentration camp one by one!"
"No... no... this is impossible!" Nossori is still fighting.
"Then, go to the concentration camp! Hahahaha!!" Reeve Tamson threw Nossori to the wall, then turned to look at Edra-Kestis and Langdon Winnaldon, and said coldly, "Move your butts! Don't think that the things here can be solved by doing a striptease in the parliament!"
Edra-Kestis still had that charming smile on her face, but in her eyes, there was a flash of golden light full of murderous intent.
