1725. New Order Declaration (Part 1)
"... As I said, each of us has tried our best for this war! But we still haven't achieved a comprehensive victory. Why? Is Galactic Republic too weak? Is it that we don't work hard enough? Is it Separatists is too powerful?" At the Galactic Senate Building venue, Chancellor of the Republic Sheev-Palpatine stood on the central anti-gravity platform and made an impassioned speech.
His voice is powerful and passionate, his expression is unwavering, and his movements are full of power! Every word he said struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer!
I saw him suddenly stop what he was saying and raise his hands. There was silence all around, and everyone held their breath and watched his every move.
The atmosphere of the entire venue and everyone's emotions are under his control!
"Yes..." Palpatine suddenly uttered the word softly, his eyes became cold, he looked around, and his tone gradually became sinister, "I said, yes."
There was another moment of silence...
Then Palpatine's words exploded like thunder, "Yes! Yes! It's us Galactic Republic who are too weak!! It's Separatists who is very strong!! It's also the case that every one of us doesn't work hard enough!! Yes! This is the answer!!"
His voice was almost hysterical, and he clenched his fists and waved them hard in the air!
"Everyone of us can see how powerful Separatists is! He has occupied Outer Rim Territories and has the support of those evil planets! Especially Count Dooku! He betrayed Jedi Order and betrayed Galactic Republic! In the end, he betrayed democracy and freedom! Yes, he is powerful! But will he make us unable to resist? No! No!!"
"It's because we Galactic Republic are too weak!! This weakness is not due to how much industrial production capacity we have, nor how many people we have, how many planets we have, or how many warships we have!! It's about the people's hearts!! Among the trillions of people of Galactic Republic, how many people really think that 'I am a part of Galactic Republic'? How many people are willing to give everything for Galactic Republic? What I want to say is, no! Not all of them!"
He grabbed the paper copy of the 2000 People book from his desk, and he used so much force that the paper was partially torn. Moreover, he intentionally or unintentionally let the document pass through the microphone, and the tearing sound suddenly spread throughout the entire venue, "This! This is why we are so weak!!"
On their respective anti-gravity platforms, almost all the 2,000 signatories, including Bail-Organa, Meng-Mothma and others, suddenly felt their hearts sinking.
In fact, they noticed something was wrong at the beginning of the speech. Palpatine was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic today. He was no longer humble or kind, but showed his most intense, violent and extreme side!
And the content of his speech was so disturbing...
However, they didn't have any chance to interrupt.
On the stage, Palpatine, holding up the torn copy of Two-Thousand Declaration, said loudly, "Look! This is why Count Dooku is always at large!! At the most critical moment of the war, 2,000 people signed their names asking me to give up my power! But what I gave up was power? No! What I gave up was the safety of the entire Galactic Republic!!"
Hearing his words, the irritable Congressman Fang Zha stood up suddenly and said loudly, "What a nonsense..." "Shut up!!" Palpatine pointed at Fang Zha and interrupted him directly.
His voice resounded directly through the entire venue like thunder falling from the sky. Everyone was even dizzy and dizzy when he used Dark Side Force.
And Fang Zha's throat was directly strangled by the invisible force. He couldn't say a word and even had difficulty breathing. He could only struggle desperately. After a long time, the force relaxed and Fang Zha collapsed to the ground.
Palpatine's speech did not stop. His voice softened a bit and he said, "No one understands better than me what the problem with Galactic Republic is. Yes, Galactic Republic is weak and poor, unable to fight against pirates, unable to deal with the plunder of corporate giants, and even Outer Rim Territories's tax It has always been empty talk. Galactic Republic has always had a vast territory, but it is the taxpayers of Inner Rim and Core Worlds who keep Galactic Republic running. Who would tell me that Galactic Republic is powerful?"
"Young people will never be proud to be Galactic Republic's soldiers, and the planet will never be proud to be part of Galactic Republic. In the eyes of those Mega-corporations, Galactic Republic is just a tool for them to make money! Battle of Malastare Canyon, Battle of Naboo, isn't it obvious enough?"
Palpatine's tone gradually increased, "My Homeworld is Naboo! Seeing my planet being invaded by Trade Federation, Galactic Republic was unable to send a single soldier! Jedi Order only sent two Jedi Knight through unofficial channels! This is Galactic Republic, this is Jedi Order! It was they who once guarded the galaxy! Such an existence, what qualifications do such beings have to say that they are the guardians of the galaxy!!"
"I see it more clearly than anyone else! Why did Galactic Republic reach such a situation? Because Galactic Republic has no power at all! Everyone can refute the decision of Galactic Republic in the parliament! The discussion of every bill is protracted! When Naboo faced an invasion, the parliament was even discussing whether this operation was a real invasion!! When Separatists signed the secession agreement in Geonosis, the parliament did not even think that Galactic Republic should have an army to maintain peace and reunification!!"
"And this! Galactic Republic is so weak as He Ru!!" Palpatine directly threw the 2000 people's book into the air, and countless papers fell one after another, like snow flakes.
"Now here, what I want to say is, why have we been able to fight so far? Is it because of our powerful fleet? Is it because of our elite soldiers? No!! It's because of me! It's because I made Galactic Republic a whole! It's because I forcibly reversed the shortcomings of Galactic Republic and took all the responsibilities into one hand!!"
Palpatine became enthusiastic again, "And now I want to tell everyone! The blood of Yago-Dur planet and Modell Sector has not been shed in vain! Gideon-Tarkin and General The efforts of General Cassio-Tagge have not been in vain! Thanks to their efforts, Dawn Star Planet has returned to our arms!"
"That's right! The dawn of victory is right in front of you!"
