1218. Civil War in the Banking Association (2)
After hearing what Glosse-Shelbia said, Core Five finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
In the past, the violations of laws and disciplines committed by the InterGalactic Banking Clan were enough to sentence every one of their senior officials to death ten times. But they remained calm and unaffected by anything.
Because InterGalactic Banking Clan is so rich that they can bribe almost everyone they want to bribe!
Whenever InterGalactic Banking Clan is about to be punished, countless people will always stand up to oppose it, and they will always encounter all kinds of unimaginable obstructions, and in the end nothing will happen.
In the end, even Galactic Republic's finances depended on the InterGalactic Banking Clan's face, so those Galactic Republic officials dared not lift a finger and could only turn a blind eye.
But now, the situation is different.
Because of this war, Galactic Republic had an extremely powerful army, and at the same time, Galactic Republic's behavior changed greatly from before. If it were in the past, Galactic Republic would reason with you, and forget it if you can't. But now, if they find that it doesn't make sense, then they will talk to you about physics...
At the same time, because of this war, Speaker Sheev-Palpatine quietly completed the upgrading of the internal bureaucratic structure of Galactic Republic in the past two years.
In the past, all the officials who had paid money to become officials were replaced and replaced by officials based on status.
Those who now control the Galactic Republic bureaucracy are the Inner Rim and Core Worlds aristocrats. They are not short of money, but what they lack is ambition, status, and power!
This was an unconscious class change. The merchant class was gradually marginalized and replaced by warlords and powerful people.
In other words, in today's Galactic Republic politics and official circles, money is of course very important, but it is beginning to give way to power. Because power can directly deprive you of your money and even your life!
The quiet changes in the rules also changed InterGalactic Banking Clan, who was immersed in it.
Many of them began to move closer to these powerful people, or they themselves were part of the powerful class. Sharp conflicts began to arise between them and the merchant class who were still superstitious about buying everything with money.
The representatives of these people are Human faction of the InterGalactic Banking Clan Scipio. They hope to use money to gain a higher status among Galactic Republic, rather than using money to make more money.
Therefore, these Human faction people are calling for higher power and more centralized control, so that they can get more power. Instead of asking for looser controls before, their investment behavior would be unregulated.
Under this essential contradiction, the internal cracks within the InterGalactic Banking Clan were difficult to mend, so Sheev-Palpatine was given the opportunity to use a series of events to win over Human faction, and at the same time launch Rush-Clovis as agents.
Then under such circumstances, Rush-Clovis will have enough power and influence to arrest Core Five through the internal impeachment process of the InterGalactic Banking Clan!
Core Five Now when I thought about it carefully, I realized, Rush-Clovis, he can really do this!
Seeing their silence, Glosse-Shelbia suddenly thought of a very bad situation. She frowned and asked, "Wait a minute, where are you guys now?"
"In...Scipio." Core Five No. 2 said with a gloomy face.
"Why are you still here Scipio in such a situation!" Glosse-Shelbia was a little angry. She raised her eyebrows and stood up as soon as she patted the table.
"Scipio is where our treasury is, and Core Five's biggest responsibility, in addition to presiding over the election of co-chairs, is to manage InterGalactic Banking Clan's treasury." Core Five said on the 1st, "We cannot leave Scipio."
Core Five is in charge, and the co-chairman is in charge. This is the basic management structure of the InterGalactic Banking Clan.
Glosse-Shelbia combined the plot told to her by Tang Xiao with her own inferences and intelligence during this period, and understood everything. She said in a deep voice, "Then let me tell you what will happen next!"
She sat back down and said, "Because the funds requested by Galactic Republic were not received, Galactic Republic will send a representative to ask for verification of the bill."
"Our bills are perfect!" Core Five No. 4 said loudly, "We are making false accounts..."
"... Then, I ask you to open the vault and provide guarantee that the funds are in place." Glosse-Shelbia raised his voice and interrupted the other party.
"This is impossible! We have the right to refuse!" Core Five said No. 1.
"The person coming is most likely a combination of a congressman and a Jedi Knight. At the same time, they will hold executive orders signed by Chancellor of the Galactic Senate, Sheev-Palpatine." Glosse continued. Said, "Of course, this is still not enough. Therefore, when they issue the executive order, Rush-Clovis will also launch an impeachment against you at the same time, accusing you of misappropriating funds from the InterGalactic Banking Clan to support Separatists."
"So, our only choice is to open the treasury." Thorn Hill said on the sidelines, "In recent years, we have been using the form of yin and yang accounts to support Confederacy of Independent Systems of Count Dooku. The clear account is for Galactic Republic, and the funds are given in the form of credit. Secretly, the account is for Galactic Republic. The account was made for Confederacy of Independent Systems, using the cash in our inventory. The prerequisite for completing all of this is perfect cooperation between us. But the only trace is the cash flow of the inventory... If it was before, no one would dare to question the management authority of the vault, but now, the situation is different."
"No! This must not happen!" Core Five said loudly.
"Now you should find a way to leave Scipio!" Glosse-Shelbia said.
"We cannot leave here. This is our responsibility, and it is also the rule of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Once we give up managing the treasury, it is equivalent to giving up Core Five's position. At that time, who will take over Core Five? In fact, I can give you a list now, and... you will not be willing to accept this list at all." Core Five No. 1 said in a deep voice.
Glosse-Shelbia took a deep breath. If she hadn't come to attend this InterGalactic Banking Clan internal summit today, she would never have imagined that they had been penetrated to such an extent that they were even forced into a desperate situation!
