1431. New war machine (Part 2)
"But Separatists has developed a genetic weapon against the Clone Army! This also means that we must be more cautious!" Bail-Organa also stood up and said, "Just now Senator Amidala What E said is very correct. This war is becoming a competition in killing skills between us Galactic Republic and Separatists. This is meaningless... If we can end this war, I am willing to try anything."
"Ah, you are right, Bail-Senator Organa." Palpatine replied, "The genetic weapon is because Kamino was attacked by Separatist army. But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, Kamino is located at Satellite Dwarf Galaxy on the outskirts of the galaxy, and it is difficult for our fleet to reach it smoothly. And I believe that Jedi Order's Master Shake-Ti and Ploo-Master Kong have also tried their best, so we can't blame them."
Palpatine said this, but he was actually putting Jedi Order on the fire again. Even though he said he didn't blame them, he actually emphasized the important role of these two Jedi Master in Battle of Kamino, intentionally or unintentionally strengthening the role Jedi Order played in this failure.
As he spoke, Palpatine's tone began to turn cold, "And... to end the war, shouldn't it be based on our victory? Your Excellency Bail-Senator Organa."
His voice was low and slow, just chilling to hear.
"The road to peace has long been blocked by Separatists. All we can do is grit our teeth and persevere until the final victory." Palpatine continued, "In view of the fact that Battle of Onderon has shown that ordinary soldiers cannot compete with the robot army, this only shows one thing - it is imperative to rebuild a new Clone Army."
Bail-Organa, Padmé-Amidala and others suddenly had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
Sure enough, Wilhuff-Tarkin said loudly on the stage, "So, I proposed a new Clone Army plan! Regarding this matter, please ask Clone Master (Arkanian Clone Master) of Arkania to explain to us!"
Only one of the anti-gravity platforms was seen flying out, with four or five humans dressed as scientists standing in it. The leader of them bowed to the surroundings and said, "Please allow us, Arkanian Microtechnologies (Arkanian Microtechnologies), to introduce to you our company's Clone Trooper product."
The surrounding members of the assembly were in an uproar, and member Kamino stood up suddenly, looking very angry.
Clone Master continued, "Our company's Clone Trooper product is developed based on Spaarti cylinders (Spaarti cylinders). The main advantage of this Clone Trooper product is that it grows extremely quickly, but the manufacturing conditions are not so harsh. Our Clone Trooper product can grow into adulthood within a year and go into war."
"One year? So soon?" Some congressmen were extremely surprised.
"Yes, one year. However, the shelf life of these soldiers is not long, and they can only be used for about a year. Therefore, our requirements for the original body and manufacturing of these soldiers are not high. Separatists developed Gene-targeting weapon? No problem, we can just change to a cloned original body. In addition, these soldiers use Flash pumping (Flash Pumping) to learn, although it is very fast, the success rate will be reduced, and the use is definitely not as skillful as Clone Trooper of Kamino... But it doesn't matter, it's just consumables."
"Are you treating clones as consumables? Tools?" Padmé-Amidala looked angry.
"Ah, I think this is a technical prerequisite for us to discuss this matter." Clone Master said.
"But even if it takes a year, we can't wait any longer. How should we deal with it?" another congressman asked.
Clone Master said, "It doesn't matter, we are ready. We, Arkanian Microtechnologies, have established a clone base on the Centax-2 satellite, and have completed the growth of a batch of Spaarti clone troopers with a number of about 10 million. Excluding those substandard products, we should be able to supply 8 million troops immediately."
Hearing his words, Bail-Organa stood up suddenly, pointed at Clone Master's nose and said loudly, "Centax-2 satellite? You'd better say it wrong!! Because this satellite is the satellite of Coruscant!! Who gave you the authorization to build such an unauthorized military industrial facility next to our Galactic Republic Capital!! And you also quietly established an army next to our capital?!"
"This is a construction funded by our company ourselves. All funds and resources are borne by ourselves." Clone Master said calmly.
"Just because of your behavior, I can send you to High Court!!" Bail-Organa said through gritted teeth.
"No need, Senator Organa." Sheev-Palpatine suddenly said coldly, "Arkanian Microtechnologies's project was specially approved by me - after Kamino was attacked by Separatists and most of the clone factory was destroyed."
"This is also inconsistent with Galactic Republic Constitution!" Bail-Organa said loudly.
"According to my judgment, this project is related to the outcome of the ongoing war Galactic Republic, and also related to the life and death of Galactic Republic. Therefore, I passed the emergency ruling power and directly approved this project. Is there any problem? Senator Organa." Palpatine said slowly.
Bail-Organa suddenly turned pale.
Then, Sheev-Palpatine said, "Based on the current situation of the war, I think it is very necessary to mass-produce the quick Spaarti clone troopers. However, the scale of production and the funds invested also need to be submitted to the parliament for discussion. Therefore, I now formally propose this bill to the parliament - about investing in the construction of Spaarti clone troopers facilities and forming a brand new Clone Army."
"I object!" Padmé-Amidala stood up and said loudly, "First, they invested a lot of money to form Clone Army in Kamino! Then they recruited 1 billion soldiers across the galaxy! Then they invested more money to repair the clone factory of Kamino! And now, they still need to invest money to form Spati clone army? Is this going to collapse the finances of Galactic Republic?!"
Wilhuff-Tarkin also stood up at this time and said slowly, "So, I have a plan - let those planets that once supported Separatists and are now liberated under the military power of our Galactic Republic bear the funds for this project."
