1104. Parliamentary Murder Case
After Onaconda Fall was assassinated, Speaker Sheev Palpatine also found that public opinion was somewhat unfavorable to the war faction. He was worried that continuing would affect the vote, so he argued that there had been a murder and safety could not be guaranteed. For this reason, the meeting was temporarily suspended and an investigation team was dispatched to investigate the matter.
At this time, almost everyone believed that the main war faction murdered Senator Farr. Such public opinion made Palpatine very passive.
However, after launching the investigation, it went surprisingly smoothly, and Onaconda Farr's assistant, Lolo Purs, was quickly identified.
But when it came to arresting Perth, they were still a step late. Perth had already killed another congressman, who was one of the core congressmen of the main war faction-Mee Dick, the congressman from the planet Umbala. Deechi)!
Lolo-Pers confessed to her crimes and said she did everything for the sake of her planet. Because of this war, the cowardly and incompetent Onaconda Farr was unable to lead the planet Rodia to make any contribution. As a result, the planet continued to suffer oppression from the Confederation of Independent Systems on the one hand, and on the other hand it was still unable to negotiate with the Republic. At the end of the day, it’s both snake and mouse, nothing.
As a result, Perth's dissatisfaction with Onaconda Farr accumulated, because Farr not only did not think about how to survive this war, but instead spent all day fighting with Padmé Amidala and Bell O These pro-reconciliation MPs from Ghana are mixed together.
You must know that unlike planets such as Naboo and Alderaan, which have not been directly threatened so far, the threat of war on Rodia is very direct!
Lolo-Perce then carried out his own plan and killed Onaconda-Farr.
But then Mi-Diqi was an accident, because after Lolo-Pers killed Representative Farr, during the aftermath, he unexpectedly discovered that Mi-Diqi was actually following Representative Farr, which also allowed him to witness himself A secret meeting with Representative Farr.
Although I didn't directly see the scene of her murder, she was still a hidden danger after all. Lolo Perce judged that Mi-Dich's actions were mostly to find some excuses for Congressman Onaconda-Fale, so she followed the trend and quietly contacted Mi-Dici and told him that she knew that Congressman Fall was corrupt. Evidence of corruption.
Although Onaconda-Fale is dead, if his political stains can be grasped, it will naturally be extremely helpful for voting on this military expansion bill. So Mi-Diqi was indeed deceived, met Lolo Perce in private, and was poisoned to death by her with poisoned wine.
At this point, the truth about the parliamentary murder case has been revealed, but what if we know this truth? What should have happened has already happened, and the serious consequences cannot be compensated by the death of one or two people.
Although this murder was an impromptu act without any premeditation, it still had an extremely bad impact on Coruscant's political scene.
In order to maximize the impact of this murder, Bail Organa and Padmé Amidala focused their publicity on the fact that Lolo Perth chose to assassinate due to the pressure of the war, and also It was pointed out that the fundamental reason why Mi-Diqi was poisoned by Perth was because Mi-Diqi himself had evil intentions and wanted to follow Congressman Farr.
For a time, the war faction of the Galactic Republic fell into a comprehensive passive situation. After calculation, they came to the conclusion that this time the military expansion bill is likely to not be passed.
However, Sheev Palpatine just smiled and didn't care at all.
The next day, an explosive news detonated the Coruscant political scene.
A regime change occurred on the planet Umbala. Pro-separatist forces came to power and formed a new government. At the same time, the planet Umbala announced its withdrawal from the Galactic Republic and joined the Confederation of Independent Systems!
Less than an hour after Planet Umbala issued the announcement, Planet Rodia also issued an announcement, also announcing its withdrawal from the Galactic Republic and joining the Confederation of Independent Systems!
The two planets where the senators were assassinated declared their independence from the Republic on the same day, which was completely unexpected by everyone. All the congressmen were shocked that this murder had such serious consequences.
When Palpatine saw the announcement from the planet Rodia, he was slightly surprised, but he still smiled and announced an emergency meeting.
The main reason why the planet Umbala betrayed the Galactic Republic was because of Mi-Diqi.
Although his behavior is extreme, he is indeed a person who is very loyal to the Galactic Republic, and he is also a fanatical war fighter.
It's just that he promoted the war more for his own interests. He colluded with Kaminoan Senator Halle Burtoni to continue to profit from clone army production orders.
That's why Mi-Diqi was so focused on the proposal to rebuild the clone factory this time.
But at the same time, his actions also brought a huge burden to the planet Umbala, whether it was financial, political or military.
Therefore, as soon as he died, the power he previously controlled suddenly disappeared. At this time, with the secret support and instigation of some forces, it became inevitable for the regime to change and join the Confederation of Independent Systems.
The planet Rodia is very simple. This planet is actually very close to the planet Christophsis and also very close to the planet Tatooine. Different from the original plot, the fourth civilization occupied Christophsis. As a result, the influence of separatism on the planet Rodia was very serious.
Congressman Onaconda-Farr continues to advocate for peace, but he also tries to make peace in the middle so that he can stay out of it.
But now Senator Farr has been assassinated by his assistant Lolo Perth, and Perth's reasons are so thought-provoking. Also under the instigation and manipulation of agents of the Fourth Civilization, the planet Rodia finally made up its mind, reorganized its government, and directly joined the Confederation of Independent Systems in the first place.
Their reason is also very straightforward: since our Congressman Onaconda-Fale, who was so loyal and sacrificed everything for the peace and future of the Republic, ended up being assassinated. This shows that the national policy of the Galactic Republic is not applicable to the current situation of Rodia planet at all.
So, they have to make changes.
The explosive news that the planets Rodia and Umbala joined the Confederation of Independent Systems panicked the Republic Council, and then Sheev Palpatine ignored the wishes of Representatives Bail Organa and Padmé Amidala. Objection, forcing a parliamentary vote.
Now the parliament is in panic, and many centrist members have voted for the war faction, allowing this round of military expansion bill to be passed with a high vote again.
This is what Bail Organa and the others opposed, but it was too late and they could only watch the Galactic Republic fall into a deeper abyss.
