983. The aftermath of the terrorist attack (Part 1)
Sheev Palpatine stood in his office and turned to look out the window at the constantly passing fighter jets, the Sheriff's Department spacecraft with red and blue police 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 and made people fearful.
"Ainle-Tim was rescued." Sheev Palpatine said slowly. "At the same time, someone also sneaked into your residence and encountered the Jedi knights I arranged. Now you are just a He's just a wretch that everyone gave up on, Clovis."
"Coruscant... Coruscant was actually attacked? This is impossible... this..." Rush Clovis suddenly raised his head, "By the way, Padmé! Padmé is also in the Capitol! Here! She was attacked and 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 stolen by a Jedi?"
"Jedi Knight? How is this possible! Can't Jedi Knights have secular bonds?"
"So I say, you have been abandoned by everyone. The Interstellar Banking Association, the Confederation of Independent Systems, the Galactic Republic...even your former lover..." Palpatine said with a sneer, "But, it's just me. I still think you still have value."
"What do you want?" Clovis felt something was wrong.
"The Galactic Republic under the rule of the Jedi Order has come to an end, or should have come to an end. Just like the Interstellar Banking Association under the leadership of the Muuns... isn't it?" Sheev Palpatine's smile Gradually becoming ferocious, "In such a change, this is your only chance! When you reach the top, when you sweep the Jedi Order into the garbage dump of history, leaving Padmé Amidala in the wrong choice It’s extremely painful, isn’t that what you should be doing now?”
"this……"
"Think about it carefully." Palpatine patted him on the shoulder. "Now, I am going to issue an amnesty order to those desperate bounty hunters, and then bring an end to this farce on Coruscant."
"Are you behind all this?" Clovis's cold sweat immediately flowed from his forehead.
Palpatine smiled and raised his index finger to his mouth, "Promise me that after leaving the office, everything will be between the two of us."
…
The kidnapping in the Capitol of the Galactic Republic 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 that other than that, he had no agreement with this vicious group of kidnappers.
However, during this kidnapping, more than a dozen members of Congress still died. As a result, the security issue of the Republic Parliament was criticized verbally and verbally.
What's even more fatal is that some surviving members of Congress later stated in interviews that a Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker, was also present when the kidnapping occurred, but he obviously failed to do so. Stop this kidnapping from happening.
Under the exaggeration of some deliberate media, the kidnapping of the Senate was linked to the incompetence of the Jedi Order, and Anakin Skywalker also suffered tremendous pressure.
At the same time, three other major events occurred on Coruscant that day.
The energy center on the 10th floor underground of Coruscant was destroyed; the Ministry of Justice prison was attacked, and Senator Ainle-Tim was missing; in addition, the mansion of Rush Clovis, the representative of the Interstellar Banking Association, was also attacked. to the attack.
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. Seven days later, Senator Ainle-Tim appeared on the planet Malastar and officially announced his joining the Confederation of Independent Systems.
In order to hunt down the assassin, Jedi Master Rose Del Masona, who was in the Rush Clovis Mansion at the time, was killed by the brutal assassin, which shocked the Jedi Order.
Master Yoda, the leader of the Jedi Order, personally led an investigation team to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Finally, under strong pressure, Sheev Palpatine announced that the initiators of this series of terrorist attacks were the Separatists, and the Galactic Republic would fight such brutal acts of terrorism to the end.
Later, under the chairmanship of Palpatine, the Galactic Parliament passed a resolution to increase a war loan to the Interstellar Banking Association, and the interest on this war loan reached as much as 25%! At the same time, the regulation of the Interstellar Banking Association will also be relaxed as a policy collateral.
It is worth mentioning that Rush Clovis, the parliamentary representative of the Interstellar Banking Association, personally took charge of this loan, embarrassing the Muun representatives who were traveling with him. And under the auspices of Rush Clovis, the Interstellar Banking Association severed all ties with the Trade Federation's representative on the Galactic Parliament, Lot-Dude. Bayi Chinese website
Secretly, 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 the interstellar banking industry that Thorn Hill had joined separatism. The behavior is a stupid behavior that will lead to the destruction of the entire Interstellar Banking Association.
At the same time, the investigation into this series of terrorist attacks was immediately launched. All relevant departments and personnel who made mistakes or even colluded with the separatists were dealt with.
Through this incident, the informants and intelligence networks of many hostile forces in Coruscant, including the Fourth Civilization, were severely hit.
However, at this time, a very dramatic scene happened.
At the same time as the terrorist attack occurred, the Parliament of the Confederation of Independent Systems had just passed a resolution agreeing to contact the Galactic Republic and trying to reach a peaceful ceasefire agreement with the Galactic Republic.
The special envoy had just begun to be formed here, and big news broke out over there that Coruscant had suffered multiple terrorist attacks.
Afterwards, Speaker Sheev Palpatine made a public speech, condemning the Confederation of Independent Systems for saying one thing and doing another. On the surface, they said they wanted peace, but in fact they were launching terrorist attacks and destroying peace.
But at this time, Count Dooku rarely stood up directly and confronted Palpatine, saying directly that these terrorist attacks were directed and staged by the Galactic Republic, and that the side that really wanted war was the Galactic Republic.
and……
They have evidence!
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he encounters familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
