983. The aftermath of the terrorist attack (Part 1)
Sheev-Palpatine stood in his office, turned around and looked out the window, at the constantly passing fighter jets, the Security Bureau spacecraft with red and blue warning lights flashing, and the frightened crowd.
Rush-Clovis stood uneasily behind Palpatine, not knowing what to say. The speaker in front of him was obviously completely different from before. This man was full of indescribable power, which made people fearful.
"Ainlee-Tim was rescued." Sheev-Palpatine said slowly, "At the same time, someone also sneaked into your residence and encountered Jedi Knight arranged by me. Now you are just a poor guy who has been given up by everyone, Clovis."
"Coruscant... Coruscant was attacked? This is impossible... this..." Rush-Clovis suddenly raised his head, "By the way, Padmé! Padmé is also in Republic Senate Building! She was attacked here, she may be in danger..."
Palpatine looked at him with a pitiful expression, "Poor guy, haven't you realized yet that Padmé's heart has been snatched away by a Jedi Knight?"
"Jedi Knight? How is this possible! Doesn't Jedi Knight not have worldly ties?"
"So I say, you have been abandoned by everyone. InterGalactic Banking Clan, Confederacy of Independent Systems, Galactic Republic... Even your former lover..." Palpatine said with a sneer, "However, I still think you still have value."
"What do you want?" Clovis felt something was wrong.
"Galactic Republic under the leadership of Jedi Order has come to an end, or should have come to an end. Just like InterGalactic Banking Clan under the leadership of Muun... isn't it?" Sheev-Palpatine smiled Rong gradually became ferocious, "In such a change, this is your only chance! When you reach the peak, when you sweep Jedi Order into the garbage dump of history, and make Padmé-Amidala suffer in the wrong choices, isn't that what you should do now?"
"This..."
"Think about it carefully." Palpatine patted his shoulder, "Now, I'm going to issue an amnesty order to those desperate bounty Hunter, and then put an end to this Coruscant farce."
"Are you leading all of this behind the scenes?" Clovis's cold sweat immediately flowed from his forehead.
Palpatine smiled and put his index finger on his mouth, "Promise me, after leaving the office, everything will be between the two of us."
Galactic Republic Senate Building This kidnapping case that shocked everyone finally ended with Speaker Sheev-Palpatine signing an amnesty order and letting Cade-Bane and his gang leave.
Palpatine claimed that he made this decision to protect the safety of the kidnapped congressmen, and other than that, he did not have any agreement with this group of bad kidnappers.
However, in this kidnapping case, more than a dozen members of Congress still died unexpectedly. As a result, Republic Senate's security issues were criticized verbally and verbally.
What's even more fatal is that some surviving members of the parliament later stated in interviews that when the kidnapping occurred, there was a Jedi Knight - Anakin-Skywalker who was also at the scene, but obviously he failed to prevent the kidnapping from happening.
Under the exaggeration of some intentional media, this time Senate Kidnapping Case was linked to the incompetence of Jedi Order, and Anakin-Skywalker also suffered tremendous pressure.
At the same time, three other major events happened on Coruscant that day.
Energy Center on the 10th floor underground of Coruscant was destroyed; Ministry of Justice Prison was attacked, and Ainlee-Senator Tim disappeared; in addition, the residence of InterGalactic Banking Clan Senator representing Rush-Clovis was also attacked.
This series of events can't help but be linked to a series of recent parliamentary resolutions, and countless speculations and discussions are almost everywhere.
The results are also frustrating...
This series of attacks exposed Coruscant's riddled security. Ainlee-Senator Tim appeared in Malastare 7 days later and officially announced that they would join Confederacy of Independent Systems.
In order to hunt down the assassin, Jedi Master Ross Del Massona, who was in the Rush-Clovis mansion at the time, was killed by the brutal assassin, which shocked Jedi Order.
Jedi Order leader Master Yoda personally led an investigation team to thoroughly investigate this matter.
Finally, under strong pressure, Sheev-Palpatine announced that the initiator of this series of terrorist attacks was none other than Separatists, and Galactic Republic would fight such cruel terrorist acts to the end.
Later, under the chairmanship of Palpatine, Galactic Senate passed a resolution to add a war loan to the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and the interest on this war loan reached as much as 25%! At the same time, the relaxation of supervision on the InterGalactic Banking Clan will also be used as policy collateral.
It is worth mentioning that Council Representative Rush-Clovis of the InterGalactic Banking Clan personally took charge of this loan, which disgraced the Muun representative who was traveling with him. And under the auspices of Rush-Clovis, InterGalactic Banking Clan severed all ties with Trade Federation's representative on Galactic Senate, Lott-Dude.
In secret, Rush-Clovis also started to take action. In the name of his different stance, he refused to accept all instructions from co-chairman Thorn Hill, and repeatedly stated within Interstellar Banking that Thorn Hill's behavior of joining Separatists was a stupid act that would lead to the destruction of the entire InterGalactic Banking Clan.
At the same time, the investigation into this series of terrorist attacks was immediately launched. All relevant departments and personnel who made errors or omissions and may even have colluded with Separatists will be dealt with.
Through this incident, many hostile forces, including Fourth Civilization, suffered serious blows to their informants and intelligence networks in Coruscant.
However, at this time, a very dramatic scene happened.
At the same time as the terrorist attack occurred, Confederacy of Independent Systems's parliament had just passed a motion agreeing to contact Galactic Republic and trying to reach a peaceful ceasefire agreement with Galactic Republic.
As soon as the special envoys were formed here, big news broke out over there that Coruscant suffered multiple terrorist attacks.
Afterwards, Speaker Sheev-Palpatine gave a public speech, condemning Confederacy of Independent Systems for saying one thing and doing another. On the surface, he said he wanted peace, but in fact he was launching terrorist attacks and destroying peace.
But at this time, Count Dooku rarely stood up directly and confronted Palpatine, directly saying that these terrorist attacks were directed and performed by Galactic Republic, and that the side that really wanted war was Galactic Republic.
And...
They have evidence!
