'waste! ! '
An angry roar sounded in the palace that originally belonged to the Queen of Naboo...
However, apart from making the many B1 combat robots standing guard outside stare blankly at each other and causing a small commotion, it served no purpose.
After all, the Governor of the Trade Federation still failed to successfully fulfill the instructions of the big shot above them, because, the 'unarmed' Naboo Royal Starship, with its shiny chrome shell, was only seventy-six meters long. Mi's little interstellar yacht, that little broken ship that was already their treasure, finally managed to escape with the important people inside.
If this kind of thing spreads, it must be the biggest joke of the year in the Galactic Republic, right? After all, it is indeed a bit unreasonable that an entire Trade Alliance fleet could do nothing to stop a diplomatic visit and sightseeing boat and allow the other party to escape from the siege.
Of course, it's useless to say anything now, because the targets they were chasing ran away after all...
The opponent relied on the superior speed, powerful shield and efficient heat dissipation function of the spacecraft to forcefully land into the atmosphere of Naboo at high speed, directly leaving their fighter planes and subsequent hunting and suppression troops far away. When their Trade Federation's air force landed at the opponent's emergency landing point, they got nothing but 'captured' an empty 'Naboo Royal Starship' that was almost out of fuel.
Although, in the view of Governor Newt Gunray, Naboo has been completely overwhelmed by their robot army and their millions of cheap B1 combat robots that they have accumulated with countless money. Get it under control! Under their continuous search, that stupid woman who risked her own life and ran back to Naboo, that Queen Padmé Amidala, would always be captured by their army sooner or later. There is no doubt about that, because , now this planet actually belongs to their trade alliance!
but……
It's a pity that after capturing the other party, they really don't have a particularly good way to capture the other party at present... Because the environment on Naboo, this damn planet, is too primitive. Too complicated!
There are swamps, lakes, hills, primeval forests and all kinds of wild animals everywhere, as well as those Gungan natives, etc. The heat source on their damn things seriously interferes with their search for the 'suspect'!
And there are also two damn Jedi among that group. The other party seems to have used the Force or some kind of equipment to create some kind of energy field that can interfere with heat source detection, which seriously hinders the Trade Federation's ability to operate in space. The scanning of spacecraft and near-Earth reconnaissance aircraft has made it so far that the sky has ground and air superiority. Even the trade alliance that has completely occupied the entire planet can only do nothing. It has no idea how to get rid of a large area full of A handful of targets were captured in the primeval jungle of various indigenous and wild animals...
and,
What makes Trade Governor Newt Gunray even more worried is that the enemy has disappeared for three full days after landing, although their excellent Neimoidian commander died on the day the enemy made an emergency landing on Naboo. An encirclement was arranged within a radius of three hundred miles of its landing point and the search range began to be narrowed, but that had no effect!
Because the encirclement is not tight, and this damn planet is a planet without a molten core. Its surface is actually the agglomeration of a huge rock body, and the interior of the rock is dotted with an endless network of caves and tunnels. , which allows the originally numerous swamp lakes on the surface of the planet to penetrate deep into the structure of the planet, just like it is difficult for them to figure out the cities and complex underwater transportation networks of those damn Gungans hiding in the deep underground waters?
Therefore, in fact, Trade Governor Newt Gunray himself also knew that in the current interstellar era where submarine and breathing equipment are completely portable, the encirclement and search circle they organized on the ground did not seem to have much significance. The enemy has so many ways to get rid of their useless robots!
But there was no way, whether it was for themselves, or for the big shot behind them who was a little furious after knowing the truth, Queen Padmé Amidala and the little girl on the other team, they had to do it as soon as possible Caught, otherwise, I'm afraid their future situation will definitely not be very good.
Isn’t this?
On the third day of the manhunt, after the huge encirclement was searched countless times inside and outside by massive B1 combat robots and robot starfighters, and they barely scratched the ground, Nemoi The Diaman commander finally returned to the Queen's Palace in Sid City in despair and announced the failure of the manhunt.
And this is exactly the reason for the furious roar that just came from the palace...
"waste!"
"Trash! You are all a bunch of trash!!"
Bang! !
Of course, under extreme fear and rage, the Governor of the Trade Federation, Newt Gunray, angrily threw an unknown instrument in front of the other party, and then began to tremble with trembling hands and feet. They paced back and forth quickly in the hall of the palace, and began to rack their brains with their cunning Neimoidian heads to think of solutions.
'I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Governor...'
'I swear, our robots have searched for it several times, and apart from finding a large number of wild animals and a few unlucky Gungans captured, we found nothing...'
'My subordinates guessed that they must have escaped by diving through the underwater channel. In that complex underground ocean water network world, we can't block them even if we have 10 million combat robots. '
'Our cheap robots and weapons are not suitable for underwater combat...'
The Neimoidian commander said timidly. He said that he had really tried his best!
However, the underground environment of this planet is really too complex. In addition, without transportation equipment, their combat robots have extremely limited underwater movement and combat capabilities. They may sink if they enter the water, so at that time They did not order an all-round blockade of the underground 'seabed', which allowed the enemy to take advantage of it and easily escape from their encirclement through the underground.
"!!"
"Go! Let our warships in space dispatch more multi-functional or underwater transport boats and combat tools, and order the logistics department to immediately urgently transform some multi-functional combat vehicles. You can go and remove the Gungans underwater as soon as possible. All the cities have been occupied or destroyed by me, I won’t spare any of them, I must find them from the bottom of the water!!”
Gritting his teeth, the Governor himself knew that it would be impossible to capture all the Gungans, amphibious indigenous creatures, from the underwater world of Naboo. After all, the interior of this planet contains a full 85% of water. , it is completely an 'ocean water world', and we also know that there are more huge and terrifying ocean beasts in the planet...
However, considering that being able to catch the cunning woman Padmé Amidala and the little girl who was following him was related to his own life and future, the Trade Governor Newt Gunray had no choice but to He had no choice but to grit his teeth and order.
Because the Naboos are different from the amphibious Gungans, they definitely cannot live underwater for a long time, so they only need to quickly find out and occupy or destroy the Gungans' underwater cities, one by one, as long as Taking control of all the cities and tribes of those damn frog-like natives, making it impossible for Amidala to survive underwater, sooner or later they would reappear on the ground.
At that time, it will be the best time for them to recapture the other party and force the other party to sign a 'legal' agreement! Moreover, the big shot has really pushed them too hard in the past two days. Under the strong pressure from the other party, they don't know how long they can hold on, so they must work hard to find ways to change the status quo. OK.
'But……'
'General, Your Excellency Governor, the underwater world is too complicated. The surface of this planet belongs to the humans of Naboo, but the inside belongs to the indigenous Gungan people... And how many tribes and undersea cities do those indigenous people have under the sea? , we have not yet been able to complete the reconnaissance and scanning, and if we want to occupy them all, we will need too many troops...'
'us……'
However, before the Neimoidian commander could finish his words of advice, he was scolded back by the trade governor!
"idiot!!"
"If you don't have enough troops, just dispatch them from the battleships in the universe. If 10 million is not enough, just 20 million. If 20 million is not enough, just 100 million or one billion!"
"If you don't have any, quickly place an order with Bucktoyd Battle Robot Company. Those damn B1 battle robots are not as expensive as the cheap E-5 blaster rifles they hold. Just kill a few on Naboo." A primitive tree can be exchanged for dozens of robots, so what are you worried about?!"
"It's really not possible. Selling those Naboo people will cost a lot of money! What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and execute it?!"
The Trade Governor Newt Gunray, shrouded in the fear of failure, could no longer care about anything. He was like a gambler who was about to lose his bet. In order to make a comeback in the end, he would not hesitate to spend all his money. The chips are all stacked on this planet Knab.
Although from the current situation, the stupid woman Amidala who ran back to Naboo left him helpless, but it seemed that the other party had no chance of defeating him?
However, I don’t know why. Judging from the increasingly severe tone of the big man Darth Sidious in the past two days, it seems that neither their trade alliance nor the other party are in a good situation? It seems that as time goes by, the situation becomes more and more unfavorable for them? Although he didn't know why, he thought it would be better to follow the big man's instructions and catch the queen and the little girl quickly?
"stop!!"
"In addition to what I just said, I also need you to do one more thing..."
Suddenly, the trade governor who was at a loss suddenly thought of a good idea!
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and beckoned back the Neimoidian commander who was about to run out in embarrassment and follow the methods he just ordered. The other person whispered something in his ear.
'This, this, this...'
'Your Majesty the Governor...Are you really sure? If we do that, if we are held accountable in the future, we will all be doomed! ! '
The Neimoidian commander said with some fear. He couldn't believe that the timid governor in front of him, who was usually just greedy, dared to act like that. He just thought that the other party was just saying angry words. .
"I can't care about that much anymore. We must force them out at all costs, and the sooner the better! Believe me, we may really be running out of time..."
"otherwise……"
"Hmph! Go, it's already an established fact that we invaded Naboo anyway. If something unexpected happens in the future, we will definitely not be able to recover! And I can hear that the Lord himself seems to have some problems, and his promise cannot be fulfilled now. I believe too much, we must think more about ourselves first, there is no other choice now!!"
"Go! Move quickly!!"
After struggling for a while on the ferocious and ugly green face of the Trade Governor, finally, the big red eyes above began to flash a hint of ferocious look.
'yes……'
Seeing that the governor had made up his mind, the Neimoidian commander hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, bowed his head, bowed, and hurried away in annoyance.
———————————
When the Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, two Jedi Knights, and a little girl, the Head of State, rushed to the ground of Naboo and disappeared for three days, while leaving the Trade Federation up and down. When the capital was in a state of panic, far away in the core area of the Galactic Republic, in the giant steel-domed mushroom-shaped hall of the Capitol on the capital planet Coruscant, there were one thousand,025 anti-gravity seats and platforms. Five parliamentarians and representatives, as well as their assistants, have now gathered in this solemn hall, preparing to notarize the results of the vote for the new Supreme Speaker of the Galactic Republic that will be produced today.
'Hello! Did you hear that? It is said that in this election, that old guy Palpatine got a lot of votes! ! '
'Really? '
'of course! I know that many people support him, at least one-third or more. The old guy may really get his wish this time. '
'Not necessarily. I feel that Bell Andres from Alderaan also has advantages, and many congressmen choose to support him! '
'snort! It is said that Amway Tim of Malasdale Star has the support of the Trade Federation and the accomplices they bribed, and they also have a lot of votes! '
'Who did you listen to? This is fake news, right? '
'...'
'But I still think that old guy Palpatine has a better chance of winning? It is said that he has a secret ballot, and I always feel that things on Naboo are not simple, as if someone deliberately blocked the parliament from passing that resolution. Maybe it was the old guy himself? '
'Tsk! Be careful what you say, don't talk nonsense without evidence...'
'If there is evidence, it's not just nonsense! '
'snort! '
'well……'
'Hello! I advise you not to think too much. Many people are actually aware of the incident on Naboo. Otherwise, the Supreme Speaker would not be forced to step down... But the Trade Federation's siege and invasion of Naboo should be There is no doubt that many people are sympathetic to Naboo's situation, and there are also many people who hope to give the Trade Federation some color. So overall, Senator Palpatine has the best chance of winning! '
'I think so too……'
'But it seems that former Speaker Finis Valoran is also running for the election. Although he has some criticism, he still has a lot of connections. After all, many people were against the vote of no confidence in the first place. What do you think? '
'It's useless. They are only a very small number. In the records of the Republic, there has never been a speaker who has been re-elected after he stepped down. Not one of them...'
'Too……'
'Everyone, I still think Palpatine is a sure shot! '
'No! There should be no shortage of votes for Amway Tim! '
'...'
Before the voting results were announced, those MPs who were bored with waiting naturally gathered in small groups and discussed loudly with the nearby MPs, making the huge dome hall of the Parliament become like a vegetable market.
"..."
Obviously, from the behavior of a little girl teasing other people's queens, it is not difficult to guess that the parliamentary seat platform of Naboo Star and the parliamentary seat platform of the Hero Federation must be side by side and close together. Therefore, now, Sheev Palpatine, the member of Naboo and the candidate for the Supreme Speaker, can frequently face Nova, the general of the Hero Federation, who is not far away from him, and the former 'Supreme Speaker' who is standing next to him. Finis Valoran saluted.
"..."
"Congressman Nova, you seem very confident about the results of today's vote?!"
Finally, before the presidium of the parliament counted the votes and announced the results, Senator Palpatine gritted his teeth and couldn't help but put away his sinister eyes and looked at the young woman wearing combat armor on the right side of his seat platform. After a while, he had to speak and asked in a friendly manner.
Although the statistical results have not yet come out, he has vaguely known some information from certain channels and has long been able to roughly calculate how many votes that damn Nova obtained through 'legal' or 'illegal' means! It is no exaggeration to say that the biggest obstacle that currently allows him to successfully become the Supreme Speaker of the new Galactic Republic is the hateful woman next to him!
"certainly!"
"What can I say, because the candidate we support is indeed the best. He is very experienced in how to be a Supreme Speaker. He is not like you newbie candidates. I think he has great advantages! "
After first grinning triumphantly and taunting the Naboo MP to her left, Nova turned to the former Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum beside her and nodded, indicating that the other party could take advantage of the opportunity. There was time to say a few words to his rivals.
"Hello, Mr. Senator Palpatine!"
"I am very happy to run for office at the same time as you again. I would like to express my deepest regret for what happened last time that made you lose the election..."
Finis Valoran knew that he would lose his position as Speaker and become one of the few deposed Supreme Speakers in the history of the Republic. Finis Valorum, who knew that he was inseparable from the other party, would definitely not give too much to the competitor and framer in front of him. To save face, he directly said a few words to the other party sarcastically.
The other party is obviously a member of Naboo, but he doesn't want to repay his country. Instead, he uses the Trade Federation's siege on Naboo to deal with himself. That despicable behavior of not even caring about his own country for the sake of power is his. · Valoran is disdainful, so he is ready to completely draw a line with the other party and decides that no matter what the outcome of this election is, he will never have any form of contact with the other party again.
"..."
After looking deeply at the arrogant former speaker for a while and realizing that he had no desire to continue talking to him, Palpatine could only look at the 'temporary' senior councilor Nova again:
"cough……"
"Congressman Nova, I don't understand. What's the point of supporting a deposed former congressman? No one will vote for him. Your approach is doomed to be in vain, otherwise he wouldn't have voted for him in the first place. Deposed.”
Although, Palpatine tried his best to pretend that he was very confident, but his attitude and words seemed to have betrayed his thoughts. Obviously, he was very worried now, because some things seemed to be beyond him. It was unexpected, and he had no way to control the result of this vote. This feeling was very bad for him!
Therefore, he can only rely on this kind of derogatory words to give himself a little more confidence in his opponent, and hopes to obtain useful information from some of the opponent's unintentionally revealed words so that he can be at this last moment. Give yourself more help?
You know, he has paid too much for this opportunity. Once things really change, he will never get another chance.
"Of course it makes sense!"
"Because we never have the option of 'failure'. I mean it. If you don't believe it, look at my face. It really doesn't have the hysteria about facing failure like you do. I'm right." ?His Excellency, Senator Palpatine?"
Nova didn't explain, she just pointed at her handsome face that was still smiling coquettishly, and then playfully winked at the other person, obviously not taking the other person's words to heart at all.
"snort!!"
There was no other way. Seeing that the other party refused to reveal more, Senator Palpatine could only snort, then turned his head directly, preparing to wait for the presidium on the speaker's platform in the middle of the parliament dome hall to announce the results. .
At this point, even if things change, he, Palpatine, has no other better way to change it. However, he believes that the balance of victory is still on his side because he has the magic weapon to win. hand!
'...'
'quiet! ! '
Finally, just a few minutes after Palpatine and Nova ended their non-speculative conversation, on the speaker's platform, the alien with the horn-like organization on his head and neck, the representative of the presidium finally He stood up, and with a loud shout, the originally noisy parliament fell into silence in an instant.
'Now, let’s announce the final voting results! '
'First, Senator Bel Andres from Alderaan, whose vote is...'
'One hundred and forty-four votes, accounting for 14.05%...'
'! ! '
'It's just that little bit, I'd say he has no chance, right? '
'ha! That guy is out of luck, less than a quarter, completely out of sorts! '
'Hey! '
'How can it be? '
'It shouldn't be, I've calculated his approval rating, it shouldn't be so low...'
Soon, as the votes of the first candidate, Congressman Bell Andres of Alderaan, were counted, the members of Parliament present started to make a fuss.
'! ! '
'quiet! ! '
Another loud shout rang out, and then the parliament quickly became quiet again, because the members knew that the voting results of three more members would be announced next, and it was indeed too early for them to discuss it now.
'Below, the second candidate, MP Anli Timm from Malasdale Star, her vote is...'
'Two hundred and thirty-three, accounting for 22.73%...'
'...'
After reading, the member of the presidium of the parliament with horns on his neck and head saw that the members did not make a fuss, nodded with satisfaction, and began to announce again:
'The third candidate, Senator Sheev Palpatine from Naboo, his vote is...'
'Three hundred and twenty votes, accounting for 31.22%! '
'The fourth candidate, Mr. Finis Valoran, the former Speaker, his vote is...'
'Three hundred and twenty-eight votes, accounting for 32%! ! '
'To sum up, according to the voting results of the Supreme Speaker of the Galactic Republic, the elected Supreme Speaker is Mr. Finis Valoran! ! '
As if he was afraid that the congressmen would make a noise and interrupt his reading, the alien representative of the presidium read out the result in a faster tone, which made him feel surprised and funny!
In his view, after the former Speaker was deposed, he ran for election again and was re-elected. This kind of thing must be really the first new thing since the founding of the Republic, right? He could imagine that this news would definitely become one of the hottest topics on Coruscant in the next few years, and it might even stay on the hot search list for a long time?
'...'
'...'
However, unexpectedly, the entire parliament was strangely quiet and did not make any noise. It seemed that the members could not believe this result, so that they did not know what to say to each other?
"I object!!"
Finally, a voice burst out, and then the seat platform belonging to Naboo slowly flew towards the presidium and speaker platform in the middle.
'...'
'Senator Palpatine, please state the reasons for your objections. Remember, you only have one chance to speak! '
The presidium representative who had just been about to announce that the voting results were accurate and officially effective saw Palpatine rushing forward without permission, and he couldn't help but warn in an angry tone.
'Gentlemen of the Presidium! '
“According to the sacred law of the Republic, if the Supreme Speaker who was deposed by a vote of no confidence has a difference of no more than 10% in votes, even if the number of votes is still the first, the candidate with the second highest number of votes should be selected as the Supreme Speaker! "
"So I protest the results you just announced and hope that the presidium will declare me as the legitimate Supreme Speaker!!"
The voice of Senator Palpatine resounded angrily in the parliament, and finally detonated again the members who had just been shocked by the funny result.
Wow!
The noisy noise sounded again...
'Yes, there is such a law! '
'I was scared to death. I thought the former Speaker was elected again. Isn't that a joke? '
'It seems that Palpatine's conspiracy has succeeded...'
'Poor former Speaker, there is no way he doesn't know this. '
'well……'
'Hahaha! After all, our Mr. Palpatine was elected! ! '
'Long live Chancellor Palpatine! '
'Long live Chancellor Palpatine! ! '
'Long live Chancellor Palpatine...'
'...'
'! ! '
'quiet! ! '
Loud shouts rang out again, and the representative of the presidium once again tried to silence the voices of some of the council members who were making noise.
'Congressman Palpatine's protest just now is well-founded! '
'However, given that Queen Padmé Amidala, who initiated the vote of no confidence, has returned her vote to Mr. Finis Valorum...'
'Therefore, on behalf of the Presidency of the Assembly of the Galactic Republic and the sacred Constitution of the Republic, I hereby declare that the results of Mr. Finis Valorum's vote are legal and valid. Mr. Finis Valorum is invited to participate in the inauguration ceremony at the Supreme Court of the Republic three days later. ! ! '
Finally, after reading out the decision of the presidium in one breath, as the horned alien slammed the gavel of the Republic Assembly, which represented power and law in his hand, the campaign that lasted for several days finally came to an end. Declare the end.
'...'
'how so? '
'Isn't this a joke? How did Finis Valorum get re-elected? '
'Crazy, what on earth is that woman from Naboo doing? What does she think of our members of Parliament, a bunch of fools? ! '
'I protest! I resist...'
'This is the biggest joke of the Republic in recent years, and I'm afraid everyone here will become the butt of the joke! '
'The vote should be invalid! We protest! You should re-submit! ! '
'No……'
'Damn, it's all chaos! ! '
'It seems that we were all tricked by that woman! But, I don't understand, what on earth is that young queen thinking? What good will this do to her? ! '
'have no idea……'
'snort! What does this mean? ! '
Soon, as the election ended, the MPs who had no restraint began to make noises in the parliament hall.
But what they didn't know was that after getting the result, a sneering woman had already left the venue with their new Speaker, which made some members who were ready to talk, win over or flatter them feel... Very upset...
