1495. The secret of treason***
"Palpatine's ambitions are no longer concealed at all! By bypassing the Council to deal with the Jedi Order, he has ignored the constraints of the Council. And...how dare he attack the Jedi Order?" Padmé -Amidala was in agony.
What made her even more painful was that she had no idea what role Anakin Skywalker played in this matter.
"I'm now worried that our loyalty to the Republic has gradually begun to move in another direction." Bail Organa said in his rich and steady voice, "In other words, we have devoted our loyalty to the wrong object..."
He took a deep breath and said, "We have been fighting against autocracy and hegemony for a long time. Democracy has always been the weapon we are proud of. However, now, I find that the Republic itself has become the devil it once was its enemy. "
"We have to find a way to stop them!" said another congressman, Barna Brimer. "Especially with Sheev Palpatine. I worry that as time goes by, he will become more and more powerful. .Looking back now, he has been doing this every day since the war broke out."
BanaBree is a parliamentarian representative of the planet Huarine. The Huarine sector where she is located was once one of the important industrial bases in the core area of the Republic.
However, because the Hambalin sector where this planet is located is very close to the trade alliance's home planets Cato Neimoidia and Balmorra Neimoidia, when Severance Tann brought As the Plague Titan battleship fought all the way to the planet Cato-Neimoidia, some planets in the Humbalin sector were briefly occupied by the Trade Federation for a short period of time amid the chaos.
It is precisely because of this that she is often attacked by some political opponents in the name of a Separatist capitulator, but in fact, she is one of the most loyal supporters of the Galactic Republic.
"But what should we do now? Even for this incident in the Jedi Order, Palpatine has a good reason - Master Yoda tried to assassinate him. This reason is very good." Mon Mothma said.
Bail Organa looked at Padmé Amidala, who was weak and leaning on the sofa, still a little distracted. He shook his head and sighed: "Now that we are alone, it will be difficult to fight against Palpatine. . I think our top priority now is to save the Jedi Order as soon as possible. We should start with Palpatine's evidence of accusations against the Jedi Order and demand a re-investigation of the accusations against the Jedi Order. In this way, Maybe we can buy them some time."
"I must remind you that what we are doing now is very dangerous." Bana Brimmer said, "Have you ever thought that what we are doing is actually getting closer to treason?"
Mon Mothma was shocked, "What did you say? Treason? Did you say that you committed suicide for the Jedi Order?"
Bana Brimmer said solemnly: "More than that, if our opposition continues, then opposing Palpatine itself will become treason."
"How is this possible?!" Mon-Mothma was shocked.
Bail Organa nodded and said, "Bana is right, Senator Mothma. As Palpatine becomes more and more powerful, he is equating himself with the Galactic Republic and opposing Palpatine. Elpatin is against the Galactic Republic. At that time, maybe we will really be marked as treason."
"If this is the case, once we become traitors, then the sector we represent will also..." Mon-Mothma's face turned pale, "will also be charged with treason! The entire sector will be sanctioned by the Republic! "
"Unfortunately, it is true." Bail Organa sighed, "When the day comes, we will have to surrender."
At this moment, Mon-Mothma looked out the window at the hazy sky, her eyes flickering and becoming more determined. She said slowly: "In that case, we must do something before things are irreversible."
She stood up suddenly, "Apply for administrative review of the Jedi Order incident!"
Bana-Brimmer said: "Palpatine initiated Order 66 through emergency authority. Now we are applying for administrative review. Although it makes sense legally, Palpatine can also use emergency authority to proceed. Explain that there is no way to defeat him. The biggest disadvantage for us now is that we are in a state of war. As long as we lean towards the war, the emergency decision-making power in Palpatine's hands will be invincible."
However, at this time, a weak voice suddenly remembered: "No, we can indeed apply for administrative review. But the object of our application is not the Jedi Order, but Order 66 itself..."
The one who spoke was Padmé Amidala! She rested for a while, finally feeling much better, and then used her excellent political mind to think about the problem again.
"What's going on?" Mon-Mothma asked.
Now she is still young and still not sensitive enough to these political issues.
"Palpatine linked the activation of Order 66 with emergency authority, giving us the illusion that he initiated Order 66 through emergency authority. But this is not actually the case...Emergency authority only It allows him to directly propose the motion to activate Order 66, but it cannot directly execute it." Padmé Amidala's voice was still small, but it was loud and to the point.
Bail Organa's expression froze, and she suddenly realized, "That's true! Even if Palpatine directly uses the emergency ruling power to convict the Jedi Order, the launch of Order 66 must be signed by the Supreme Court of the Republic and the Parliament! But now he simply doesn't Instead of following these procedures, we directly activated Order 66! This only shows that the procedures for initiating this order are incorrect!"
He was also an activist and immediately went on to say: "We must start preparations immediately! Collect all the intelligence on the launch of Order 66! Then draft an impeachment bill to formally prosecute Palpatine for the illegal launch of Order 66. Impeach!"
"Okay, I'll do it right now. I know some friends in the military, and they should be able to provide me with some information." Mon-Mosma said.
"This impeachment has taken us further down the road of treason..." Bana Brimer sighed, "Okay, but we must also be cautious. Leave it to me at the Supreme Court. I'll lobby them."
However, at this moment, a message was suddenly sent to Padmé Amidala's communicator. She raised her hand and looked at it, and her face suddenly turned pale!
"The Republican Army...are besieging the Jedi Temple! Leading them...is Anakin Skywalker!"
