966. Hidden Tauren
The quarrel among Galactic Senate continued, and then this farce involving thousands of high-ranking people reached its climax in a sentence from the InterGalactic Banking Clan representing Rush-Clovis (Rush Clovis).
He said calmly, "According to our intelligence, Confederacy of Independent Systems used the production capacity of 100 industrial planets as collateral to borrow 300 billion credit points from us to expand the scale of the war."
Padmé Amidala, a member of Parliament from the planet Naboo, stood up suddenly and said angrily, "You, the Interstellar Banking Association, have been on both sides of the war, providing funds for both sides at the same time! Now take this matter to the Republic Congress and say, where did you put the Constitution of the Republic! 300 billion credits are enough to arm 50 combat formations!"
Rush-Clovis spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, "Republic Constitution did not put forward any regulations on what should be done after a civil war? The current situation is that since this is a within the Galactic Republic civil war, then as a fair, fair and open banking industry, we are naturally obliged to provide financial services to members within Galactic Republic. Moreover, once we cut off the supply of funds, many Outer Rim planets people will go hungry, and there is nothing we can do."
"Your behavior is undoubtedly expanding the scale of the war! Don't tell me that you can't tell whether the funds are used to build warships or purchase food!" Alderaan Senator Bail-Organa also stood up and criticized.
"In fact, we really have no control." Rush-Clovis shook his head ruthlessly.
This meeting still had no results. Speaker Sheev-Palpatine announced that the meeting would be temporarily adjourned again and will continue tomorrow.
Padmé-Amidala walked out of the venue extremely angry, her beautiful face flushed red, her teeth clenched, her eyebrows raised, she was extremely angry.
At this time, a person walked up to her, came to her and made a polite aristocratic salute, "Padmé, I am deeply relieved to see you as beautiful and energetic as usual today."
Padmé was very angry when he saw this person. This person was obviously the representative of the InterGalactic Banking Clan on Galactic Senate, and also the representative of Scipio sector (Scipio) - Rush-Clovis.
In fact, although he works for the InterGalactic Banking Clan, he is actually a human being.
InterGalactic Banking Clan is not completely controlled by Muun. It just means that the founder is Muun, and they have the largest shares and power. There are still a large number of people from other races serving among them.
The same is true for some other corporate giants. Not all of Trade Federation is Neimoidian, and not all of the Corporate Alliance is Kuriwa...
Moreover, since humans are the largest race among Inner Rim of the galaxy and Core Worlds and occupy the most wealth and industry, the number of human executives among these corporate giants is also very large.
Rush-Clovis is about 35 or 6 years old, and looks quite handsome and calm.
However, Padmé-Amidala just wanted to pick up a chair and smash his handsome face to pieces. She snorted and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Rush. By letting hundreds of millions of people continue to sacrifice in the war, you and the master behind you have made a lot of money."
Rush-Clovis sighed and said, "Padmé, you know what I mean. I never mix business and private matters. In fact, what I want to explain to you is that you may have over-interpreted some things on Senate Chamber today..."
"There is nothing to over-interpret! Now you InterGalactic Banking Clan are providing funds to both sides of the war at the same time. This is treason!" Padmé-Amidala angrily shouted.
Rush-Clovis was startled, shook his head and said, "Ever since the war broke out, you have been too sensitive... Why can't you calm down? Just like before, the relationship between you and me, the two of us..."
"That's enough!!" Padmé-Amidala interrupted him directly, "I don't know what you are talking about! If we had any misunderstandings, then they should all be clarified today! Now please leave immediately! I will file a new round of lawsuits with the parliament soon!"
Rush-Clovis shook his head again, but turned around and left without saying anything more.
In fact, 4 years ago, he did have a relationship with Padmé-Amidala, but Padmé has been wavering between the responsibilities of a member of the parliament and his personal feelings, which makes their relationship always unstable.
Finally, after their on-and-off underground romance lasted for 3 years, with the outbreak of the war, Padmé-Amidala's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and they directly treated him without any pretense. Although they did not say it clearly, the relationship between the two ended there.
However, Rush-Clovis has always been deeply in love with Padmé.
[PS: That's right!! Do you think the artist boy Padmé mentioned in "The Phantom Menace" who had sex at the age of 14 was her only boyfriend? So naive! Padmé and Clovis broke up when the war broke out. In other words, one or two months before the war broke out, when Padmé was having sex with Anakin-Skywalker, who was several years younger than her, she actually had a boyfriend! Didn't expect it! Ha ha ha ha! In addition to the plot of the old cow eating young grass, there is also a hidden thread of the minotaur!]
But love is love, and career is the most important. Rush-Clovis thinks that he can handle this well.
However, what he didn't know was that another pair of eyes had already been staring at him.
Among Chancellor's Office, Chancellor of the Galactic Senate Sheev-Palpatine is opening the communication to talk to people, and the one on the other end of the holographic projection is Master Windu.
At this moment, Mace-Windu, whose body had undergone mechanized transformation and treatment, had a cold face, and his red mechanical eye was emitting a terrifying light.
"You mean, you suspect InterGalactic Banking Clan of treason?" Mace-Master Windu asked coldly.
Sheev-Palpatine smiled warmly and said, "This is not a suspicion, but something that is directly confirmed. But the problem is that from Republic Constitution's point of view, we cannot convict InterGalactic Banking Clan yet. And you also understand that InterGalactic Banking Clan controls the economic lifeline of the galaxy, and any action against them may have serious consequences."
"So, what are you going to do?" Master Windu asked.
"I hope Jedi Order can take action and investigate secretly, Rush-Clovis." Palpatine said.
