1726. New Order Declaration (Part 2)
Dawn Star Planet? Surrendered? When did it happen?
When Palpatine said these explosive words, everyone was shocked!
Dawn Star Planet? Why Dawn Star Planet?
Everyone knows that since the war broke out, the Separatists camp has two extremely powerful forces - Confederacy of Independent Systems headed by Count Dooku, and Dawn Star Planet headed by Tang Xiao.
Of course, Dawn Star Planet is subordinate to Confederacy of Independent Systems, but as the war progresses, Dawn Star Planet becomes more and more powerful.
From the initial independent theater operations to the independent military command system, it means that Dawn Star Planet's fleet is no longer under the command of Confederacy of Independent Systems Supreme Military Commander General Grievous. Later, Count Dooku also recognized Dawn Star Planet's independent financial and industrial independence legislation.
Until the end, Tang Xiao called himself Grand Duke of Dawn, echoing Count Dooku. Moreover, his title of Grand Duke is completely different from the liberal democratic government that Confederacy of Independent Systems has always insisted on. However, Count Dooku has acquiesced in this.
It is equivalent to that from this point on, the relationship between Tang Xiao and Confederacy of Independent Systems is an alliance, but Tang Xiao still recognizes Count Dooku as the leader of this alliance.
But since this is such a relationship, why did Dawn Star Planet surrender?
Bail-Organa and other congressmen suddenly realized that in the speech just now, whenever Separatists was mentioned, Palpatine was talking about Count Dooku, but Tang Xiao was not mentioned at all!
Is this a foreshadowing that was buried from the beginning of the meeting?
Moreover, each of these congressmen has their own energy and connections. They also naturally know about the Yago-Dour Battle and Modell Sector Raid, which have been highly hyped in recent days. Although they are hyped by the major media, in fact, these are two disastrous defeats, no doubt.
Two disastrous defeats thanks to Dawn Star Planet!
In fact, these two fiascos were also a theoretical basis for the Petition of 2000 proposal submitted by Bail-Organa and others. In that initiative, they used these two fiascos to discuss within the Galactic Republic's corruption problem caused by excessive concentration of power.
But now, Palpatine tells them that Duchy of Dawn has surrendered?
Are you kidding? How is this possible!!
Three theaters, two battlefields, and a huge force of more than 700 capital ships failed to break into Duchy of Dawn's solid defense line. What happened now to make Duchy of Dawn give up immediately?
You must know that even if they don't give up, Galactic Republic has actually lost the ability to strategically attack and cannot threaten Duchy of Dawn at all!
Everyone was puzzled, but because of this, they were unprepared for Palpatine's move and were caught off guard.
However, Palpatine directly projected a document in the holographic projection, and this document was signed by Dawn Star Planet!
The content of the document roughly states that Dawn Star Planet is willing to break away from Confederacy of Independent Systems and accept the leadership of the Coruscant government headed by Sheev-Palpatine. The two parties will be friendly and mutually beneficial to create a harmonious and beautiful world.
There are also a series of detailed clauses below, including the two sides re-opening trade interoperability, establishing a high-level dialogue mechanism, jointly developing Unknown Regions, etc.
And at the end, there is a signature that cannot be forged - Grand Duke of Dawn, Tang Xiao!
However, when they saw this file, Bail-Organa and Meng-Mothma both looked at each other in the distance, their eyes filled with solemnity.
That's right, with Bail-Organa's outstanding vision, they naturally saw several problems with this document!
The first is the title! This document from Duchy of Dawn is not for Galactic Republic! It is for the 'Coruscant current government headed by Sheev-Palpatine'!!
Then comes the signature, still Grand Duke of Dawn!
What does this mean? Does Galactic Republic want to recognize Tang Xiao's status as the Grand Duke? So in this case, does it mean that a warlord will appear in within the Galactic Republic by default?
No, not Galactic Republic! It's Palpatine!
In this statement, there is nothing about Galactic Republic!
Bail-Organa almost collapsed to the ground. Only now did he understand why the former speaker Phineas-Valorum took great risks to come to him the night before, and why he erased his name from Petition of 2000 without authorization!
Because...
Because...
On the central anti-gravity platform, Sheev-Palpatine's voice was deep and deep, "Yes... that's right. This is the correct path for the galaxy. who wants to usurp power Jedi Order has been eliminated, and our loyal soldiers are hunting these traitors on thousands of planets! Dawn Star Planet has surrendered and become one of our glorious members! Count Dooku is still alive!"
"Citizens of the entire galaxy, today we will witness a great transformation. For a thousand years, Galactic Republic has been standing at the top of the civilized world with its supreme achievements, but there are always some people with sinister intentions who instigate us against each other. In order to defend our common beliefs, we resolutely took up arms and fought against the Separatists ers. However, while doing so, we never expected that the biggest threat came from within ourselves!"
"Jedi Order and some people with ulterior motives in Galactic Senate have been plotting to cast the shadow of Separatists over us! They are trying to crush Galactic Republic into a piece of scorched earth! But the conspiracy in their hearts cannot be concealed forever - finally, they took off their disguises and revealed their true colors."
"Jedi Order seeks to destroy Galactic Republic by assassinating the head of government and seizing command of the clone army, thereby unleashing their destructive power, but these future Tyrant The' plan was met with a fierce counterattack by elite forces. Our loyal Clone Troopers stopped the uprising in Jedi Temple and suppressed their usurpation of power on thousands of planets."
"But it's not over! Jedi Order's allies in the parliament are still active! They want to pierce that vicious dagger into our defenseless hearts at the critical moment of the war!"
"But I promise you, every enemy will be defeated! Arrested! And then executed! The dawn of victory is in sight! Dawn Star Planet has surrendered, Separatists's power has fallen apart, and Jedi Order's rebellion has been thwarted! We stand in a new era of Qidian."
"Although we paid a heavy price in this process! But I can guarantee it! My determination has never been as firm as it is at this moment!!"
His voice was resounding, and those in the Loyalist Committee of Parliament, as well as many members who were infected by his enthusiasm or succumbed to his power, applauded like thunder!
"We will abandon the corrupt and weak past! We will re-clench the iron fist! We will ignite the passion again! In order to ensure the stability of the galaxy and the safety of our supporters! I hereby announce! Galactic Republic will be reorganized into the First Galactic Empire!"
Wow~~~~~~The applause is getting more and more deafening! The whole Senate Chamber is completely crazy! The congressmen clapped and cheered loudly. They used every way they could to make their voices heard and express their support for Palpatine!
"A secure and stable society will last ten thousand years! The Empire will continue to be ruled by this august institution and its chosen lifelong head! The Empire will be ruled by the majority and a new constitution!"
Bail-Organa felt his eyes go dark and almost fell to the ground.
Palpatine, actually took such a step!!
He destroyed Galactic Republic! Destroyed democracy! Destroyed freedom! Destroyed the Parliament too!
This is Palpatine's most powerful response to Petition of 2000!
Don't you want me to return my power to you? Don't you want to safeguard Galactic Republic's democracy and freedom? Well, let me tell you now, everything you insist on has come to nothing!
What else can be done now?
Bail-Organa remembered the advice Phineas-Valorum gave him - survive.
He gritted his teeth and patted it with trembling hands. Bang, bang, bang, bang... the unintentional applause merged into this crazy feast of Senate Chamber, and was drowned without a trace.
Looking up, Meng-Mothma was also applauding. However, their anti-gravity platforms are not far apart. Bail-Organa can clearly see the crystal tears in the corners of Senator Mothma's eyes...
The two looked at each other, and both saw the deep despair and endless sorrow in each other.
Bail-Organa couldn't help but think of another person at this moment... If Padmé-Senator Amidala was also present at this time, what choice would she make?
Is it a fight to the end? Or are we like us... giving our applause to the new emperor, the murderer who destroyed Galactic Republic?
So... amid this wild applause, Galactic Republic finally completed its history of more than 25,000 years and came to the end.
Looking back at the splendid history of Galactic Republic, they have been tenacious and defeated one enemy after another... from the civil war of Jedi Order, to the war with the Infinite Empire, and then experienced the rise of the Sith Empire and the emergence of Mandalorian Crusaders.
After that, the Galactic Republic martyrs fought bravely and defeated Eternal Empire and New Sith Empire, finally bringing the war that lasted for 24,000 years to an end and becoming the true overlord of the galaxy...
However, today, after only a thousand years of peace, Galactic Republic has come to an end.
And the one who overthrew her was Galactic Republic's biggest enemy—Sith!
How ironic! How sad!
Palpatine's speech continued amid waves of applause, "The entire galaxy will abide by the same laws, use the same language, and obey the wise leadership of the same people! In this way, we will forever get rid of The corruption that spreads everywhere at the end of Galactic Republic! Sector Governor will sweep away the bureaucracy to prevent similar Separatist Movement from quietly rising."
"Under the Empire's New Order, our most precious beliefs will be preserved; a strong military will defend our ideals; we will never compromise with our opponents and unite to resist internal and external troubles. Let those the Empire enemies listen, and all attempts to endanger the Empire will be crushed!"
"This process has a long way to go, but the people of the Empire are ready to meet the challenge. It is our efforts that have allowed the war to be extinguished, the turmoil to subside, and peace to return to the galaxy! Trillions of creatures are eagerly looking forward to it Looking forward to a stable future. Whether it is Outer Rim or the wild Unknown Regions, as long as there is a galaxy that desires a stable life, the Empire will satisfy its wish."
"At the same time, the citizens of the Empire must do their jobs - join Imperial Fleet, report suspected saboteurs, become the Empire's loyal informants; go to all parts of the galaxy A corner to promote the purpose of the Empire New Order to uncivilized people; build monuments and create miracles of science and technology to show the glory of the Empire to our descendants!"
"The Clone Troopers - now honorably known as Imperial Stormtrooperss - will fight bravely on the front lines against the enemies of the Empires. Many of them have died serving our country, and our people will always remember their contributions."
"The peace of New Order will crush the ulterior plots of those with ulterior motives, and the future of the Empire will be bright! It will achieve unimaginable glory under my leadership! We have withstood We have become stronger through the trial and will move forward together with one heart! We, the citizens of the First Galactic Empire, will win the final victory from now on!"
Palpatine's exciting speech set off waves of enthusiasm in the parliament, completely igniting the atmosphere!
Yes, this is the end of Galactic Republic, but it's a carnival!
At this moment, no one is mourning for the decayed Galactic Republic, and everyone is cheering for the new First Galactic Empire.
Galactic Republic is a thing of the past, Galactic Empire is the future of the galaxy!
[... My determination has never been so firm as it is at this moment!!...]
[... I hereby announce it! Galactic Republic will be reorganized into the First Galactic Empire!...]
Even in the holographic projection, Palpatine's speech was still full of passion, and the fanatical atmosphere of the scene could still be felt countless light years away.
Snap, snap, snap, snap... A sound of clapping sounded from beside the holographic projection. Tang Xiao was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs and clapping his hands.
In his eyes, there was only mockery and irony!
"No matter which angle you look at, this is a perfect speech." Tang Xiao said with a sneer, "The combination of defeat and defeat not only established enemies, but also planned the future. All the shortcomings of Galactic Republic have become the advantages of the Galactic Empire, and Palpatine has successfully made everyone understand."
"We all know that he has no intention of realizing all those contents..." Standing next to Tang Xiao were Dawn Prime Minister of the Duchy, Francis-Underwood, and Prime Minister of the Cabinet Helmut-Zemo.
