360The Speaker Steps Down

Senator Schiff Palpatine's words were undoubtedly a betrayal of Phoenix Valorum, but no one cared about how he felt as a speaker. What if it was the real reason? Who cares? Is there less of the pot on his Valorum's back? I don't care about that much.

Trade Union representative Lot Dude flew over the anti-gravity platform and said loudly: "Nonsense! There is no invasion at all, and all actions of the Trade Union are legal!"

"The trade alliance has not been allowed to speak yet!" Phoenix Valorum was annoyed and rebuked loudly.

"Next, let's ask the new queen of planet Naboo, Queen Amidala," said Senator Palpatine.

Queen Amidala stood up and said, "Dear members of the Republic, I must regret to tell you that just before, the planet Naboo was savagely invaded by the Robot Legion of the Trade Union!"

"This is absolutely impossible! This has never happened, you are lying!" Lotte Dodd directly ignored President Valorum's order not to allow him to speak, and interrupted Ami loudly Queen Dara, "The Trade Union requests that an investigation team be dispatched to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

As long as the investigation team is dispatched, it will not be discussed for a long time, and it can also make a fuss about the investigation team. All the big deal is the issue of money, and the trade alliance lacks everything else, except for the lack of money.

"Marathal planet agrees with the opinion of the trade alliance and requests to send an investigation team to Naboo planet." Senator Ain Le-Tim stood up and said.

Phoenix Valorum looked at the Gran man again. Tim's statement also didn't occur to him, because the planet Marathaar was blocked by the Enterprise Alliance two years ago! It stands to reason that they should have the same disease as Planet Naboo, but now his statement can only show one thing...

The Galactic Council, which represents the highest authority of the Republic, has decayed...

"Dawn Planet, support the decision to send the investigation team." Dawn Planet Councillor Francis Underwood stood up and agreed, with a humble smile on his face at all times, and he also exchanged a glance with Councillor Tim.

That's right, the Assembly of the Republic has indeed decayed, so the planets in the outer ring sector have begun to drift away from the Republic.

Phoenix-Valloren didn't see that, he was too old, too many things involved his energy, he couldn't see so far away. The stage play that belongs to him has also come to the curtain call.

Seeing that many congressmen support the sending of the investigation team, Phoenix Valoren wanted to say something, but the deputy speaker Maas Ameda whispered to him a few words, Valoren's face was pale, and he took a deep breath. With a breath, he said, "The proposal is accepted! Queen Amidala of Planet Naboo, do you agree that the Republic will send an investigation committee to investigate?"

Queen Amidala exclaimed: "I disagree! I risked my life to break through the blockade and come to Coruscant, asking the Republic to help us stop this invasion! My people are starving, and every day a large number of civilians die. Hunger and cold, and you are here talking about whether this invasion exists?"

"We are trying to help the planet Naboo," Valorum said.

"Then please stop the trade alliance immediately and let them withdraw!" Queen Amidala said loudly, she looked at the speechless Phoenix-Valloren, and said slowly, "If the Speaker If Your Excellency is unable to perform your duties, then I hope that the Assembly of the Republic can elect a new leader, a leader who can help us!"

She looked around, "As a planet of war victims, I formally propose to cast a vote of no confidence in the current Speaker, Finis Valorum, and start the impeachment process!"

Fennis Valorum's face suddenly turned pale, and he fell into his seat as if he was completely powerless. The noisy parliament hall was spinning around him like a phantom, and he only felt empty in his heart.

Finally, this moment has come.

Starting from 44BBY, he has led the Galactic Republic Parliament to the present. In 12 years of ups and downs, he has witnessed the most corrupt and darkest moments of the Republic. He also tried hard to turn the tide, but the darkness eventually engulfed him.

If Naboo, as a victim of the war, submits a vote of no confidence to impeach him, the voting will start immediately according to the procedure, and he will bid farewell to the political arena in two or three days at the latest.

He doesn't think he can get a majority of votes in the current situation in Parliament, which is impossible.

"I've decided, and I'll sign it. On the clone army agreement." Jedi Master Cypher Dias said to Master Dooku in a mansion in Coruscant.

Master Dooku wears a small white flower on his chest. His elder brother, the Earl of Cylenno, died of illness a few days ago. According to the etiquette of the family, he needs to mourn with this.

"What made you make up your mind, Master Dias, my friend." Master Dooku said in a deep voice.

"Planet Naboo... The Republic can't do anything with this invasion. Today, the Assembly begins impeachment proceedings against Speaker Valorum, who is destined to step down. I don't know where the future of the Republic is headed, but at least I Something can be done for the future of the Republic," said Sev-Daz.

"You have a great relationship with Chancellor Valorum, and I know you're sad too. But, looking ahead, maybe the Republic will be better off with a new Chancellor. And Naboo, Master Qui-Gon Jinn Right there, he is my best apprentice, I know him, and he will solve this crisis," said Master Dooku.

Cypher Dias nodded and said, "I hope so."

Saying goodbye to Master Dooku, Cypher Dias sent messages to Hego-Damask II and RamSu, respectively, telling them of their decision, and would soon go to Planet Kamino, under the guise of the Jedi Order to sign the contract.

Just when he was about to go to his shuttle, he suddenly received a communication, from Phoenix Valorum, he frowned and connected the communication.

"Master Dias, unfortunately, as far as I know, the vote of no confidence in me for this impeachment has exceeded 70%, so, at this time tomorrow, I will no longer be the Speaker of the Assembly of the Republic. ." Valorum said.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency," Dias said.

"We have been together for 20 years. We fought side by side when I was not the Chancellor, but now, you can only rely on yourself to move forward, at the most dangerous moment for this Republic." Valorum sighed. , "However, at least when I was the Speaker, I wanted to do something for the Republic at the end."

"You said ~www.mtlnovel.com~ You also know that for the past two years, I have been asking you to fight against the underworld forces in the country. In fact, I knew for a long time that I had lost control over those corporate and political giants. There are fewer and fewer things I can do in the council, but at least I still have the power to fight against these gangsters and smugglers, hehe..." Valorum smiled bitterly, "This is the last piece of information I got, A group of Pikes are smuggling spices on the planet Felucia, I hope you will investigate and arrest this group."

"No problem, Your Excellency Speaker, this is what I am good at." Master Dias said.

"Don't say that, I can't be the speaker, haha." Valorum smiled.

"I will hunt down this gang of Pikes. I believe that our efforts will not be in vain! The Galactic Republic will definitely have a bright future!!" Dias said firmly.

"I am relieved to hear this." Phineas Valorum said: "The candidates for the new Speaker are Bell Antiris of the planet Alderaan and Ainle Ti of the planet Malastar. Shiv Palpatine of Mu and Naboo, although I can't see Palpatine a little lately, but I believe in his ability. Although he betrayed me, I will still vote for him. Hope Republic, for the better."
