161. The Farce of Parliament (Part 2)

"Looking like this, things can't be over..." Palpatine looked a little anxious, and he turned back to Francis worriedly.

Francis nodded, "They don't have any plans to reconcile at all, they just want to knock each other down. Either a complete victory, or a complete defeat, there is no third possibility. It's just...why are they? Do you think you will win?"

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Palpatine's mouth, "That's because last year the Galactic Republic's judicial fleet directly dispatched troops to rescue the planet Nile and destroy the Bislanka pirates. Senator Tim thinks that there is something to do with it. A precedent, the Republic Judicial Fleet will surely intervene again."

Francis was shocked, he didn't expect that there was still a foreshadowing here! ! I don't know what Palpatine did in the back. In short, Congressman Tim's tough attitude is the result of this - a result that pushes things out of control!

At the same time, he also knew that Palpatine had another move secretlyinciting the Enterprise Alliance to organize a mercenary fleet to block the planet Malastar. Now his boss, Tang Xiao, is in this fleet!

As a result, the battle will almost certainly be fought! And President Valorum and the Republic are just powerless!

Palpatine is simply terrifying to the extreme. He calculates everything to the extreme step by step, and then uses every bit of influence caused by this matter to the extreme!

But Francis still didn't show any performance on the surface. He just frowned and asked, "But I remember that the judicial fleet sent troops to intervene last year, and the result was not good..."

Palpatine sighed, "As of now, we can only see the courage of Speaker Valorum."

Over there, when Senator Tim suddenly asked, Speaker Valorum seemed to be in a dilemma. He paused before saying, "Member Tim, about this..."

"Speaker Valorum! Does the Republic's Parliament want to interfere with normal business practices? Will I be sanctioned by the Parliament in the future when I sell a car, because the Republic thinks the price of this car should be cheaper?" Pasay El-Argent was very eloquent, and just pushed Senator Tim back to this side, he immediately retorted to Valorum and pushed back what he just wanted to say.

As soon as this statement came out, the representatives of the trust giants such as the Trade Union, the Interstellar Banking Association, and the Commercial Guild rallied and loudly supported Pacelle Argent's speech.

At this time, another anti-gravity platform flew out, but it was an acquaintance of Francis, the representative of Planet Rodia, and Senator OnakondFal. He raised his hands and said loudly: "The people of the Enterprise Alliance can't be allowed to be so domineering! Otherwise, we, the backward planets in the outer ring, will only be exploited by them!"

As soon as his words came out, there were immediately more voices clamoring for support. These people and representatives of the business giants began a heated argument that almost spiraled out of control.

If each of them were not riding on their own anti-gravity platform, but held a meeting in an ordinary conference room, it is estimated that the fight has already started.

Francis noticed that the representatives of these anti-business giants were all non-human races, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances. It was found that most of the outer ring planets that had previously supported Claire's mutual aid fund, including Semithian Senator Thunbak-Tula, were making a fuss here.

Noticing Francis' gaze, Palpatine smiled slightly and said: "Ah, they are a loose but powerful group in the Council - 'The Ring faction ()', mainly to seek the autonomy of the outer ring planet and obtain more Many political rights. So they would support Ms. Claire's mutual fund at that time, also because your ideas and theirs are highly consistent."

At this time, the quarrel over there has spread to this side. I only heard Congressman Farr say loudly: "You greedy businessmen will only treat us as commodity dumping grounds and your money-making slaves!! Even the founder of our mutual aid fund, Ms. Claire, was assassinated by you! !"

The representatives of the trade alliance also confronted each other, "For this assassination, the parties have reached an agreement to solve the problem. The whole thing is revealed, it's just a personal impulsive behavior!! You still use this to attack the trade alliance, that's ulterior motives!"

In such a fierce quarrel, Phoenix Valorum and Botan once again showed their indecision, and they never stopped the chaotic quarrel, and then came up with a practical and effective plan.

Palpatine shook his head and sighed: "Speaker Valorum is in a dilemma now. After the last incident, his reputation has fallen to the bottom, and the judicial fleet will no longer support him. And the Enterprise Alliance can indeed claim this Things are market behavior, and all interference by the Republic is against the principle of market freedom.

"But if he continues to sit back and watch like this, the parliamentarians of the outer ring planet and even the middle ring planet will no longer believe him." Francis said.

"Would you like to help him?" Palpatine suddenly said ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Francis shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't do anything about this situation, after all, I'm not even a formal congressman."

"No, you can. And you will get more influence because of this. I think this will be very beneficial to your development." Palpatine said lightly.

Is it a test, a show of affection, or another trap? Francis was a little unpredictable. But he still relied on his politician's intuition to make a decision to help Valorum? Hehe, why help a loser?

As a politician, getting enough benefits from a doomed loser and getting down on the ground is what he needs to consider.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try." Francis said lightly.

Palpatine controlled the platform and flew to the middle of the parliamentary venue. He opened his hands and said loudly, "Okay! Everyone! Stop!!"

His words seemed to have magic power, and the quarreling members of the Congress immediately stopped and looked up at Palpatine.

In the more than ten years that he entered the parliament, Palpatine has already established himself as a highly respected image, and his prestige in the parliament is sometimes even higher than that of the speaker, Valorum.

Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, Palpatine said loudly, "Since you mentioned the Outer Planet Mutual Aid Fund, now the founders of this fund are here, let's hear their voices!"
