The Outbreak of War (Part 3)

The Capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant.

The periphery of the best hospital in Coruscant has been surrounded by a large number of Military Police. Surrounded by these Military Police are several luxurious Hover Vehicles. Anyone who can ride in this class of Vehicle is either rich or expensive, and the fact is true. In this way, many Senators came to the hospital this time.

It also includes the most powerful man in the Galactic Republic, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine.

Outside the intensive care unit, Palpatine and many other Senators stood there, whether it was pretentious or sincere, in short, everyone sighed and frowned.

A moment later, a doctor came out with several Medical Droids, bowed to Palpatine, and said: "Your Excellency, Senator Amidala is out of danger. After the operation, the fragments in her body have been removed and the fractured part has been re-fixed. Now she is in the Bacta Tank for recovery and cannot be visited."

Soaking in the Bacta tank requires you to take off your clothes, so it is really inconvenient.

"Is she awake?" Supreme Chancellor Palpatine asked eagerly.

The doctor shook his head, "She has some damage to her brain, so she hasn't woken up yet, and I'm not sure when she will wake up."

Palpatine let out a long sigh, "The Separatists are so cruel, they were able to kill people at the gate of Coruscant! Have you caught the murderer?"

The Sheriff next to him bowed his head and replied: "Not yet, Your Excellency Supreme Chancellor. But when the attack happened, a Merchant Ship happened to pass by, and some videos were captured on the surveillance. We can confirm that the spaceship that attacked Senator Amidala was Slave I." No, this is the ship of the Bounty Hunter Jango Fett."

"I seem to have heard from Obi-Wan Kenobi before that this Jango Fett was the one who wanted to assassinate Senator Amidala last time?" Palpatine asked.

"Obviously, the Jedi Knights have failed in their duties again!" A Senator next to him snorted coldly.

"It can't be said that the Separatists are doing any conspiracy on Geonosis. The eyes of the Jedi Knights should be there. Just now Master Windu brought a large number of Jedi knights to Geonosis, so you can't blame the Jedi Order, even if Senator Amidala has indeed paid the price now." Palpatine's words were a bit yin and yang.

"This is undoubtedly the war conspiracy of the Separatists! We can't go on like this! We must come up with a plan!" Senator Ask Aak said loudly.

"If we pass the Military Creation Act now, it will give the Separatists an excuse to start a war. From the perspective of the Republic, we can only strike later, and I don't think this bill will be voted on successfully to be passed," said Alderaan Senator Bail Organa.

Palpatine clenched his fists secretly. He knew that the reason why the "Military Creation Act" could not be passed was because of the obstruction of the New Rim Faction Members headed by Francis Underwood first, and then Opposition from Peaceful Senators led by Amidala and Bail Organa.

Now it seems that because the idiot Nute Gunray's demand for the assassination of Padmé has a greater political impact than he imagined, it is impossible for the "Military Creation Act" to be passed in a formal way.

But, fortunately, although he missed last time, Jango Fett completed his mission very well this time - shooting down Padmé's spaceship. Although Padmé saved her life because of the good safety of the Naboo Royal Shuttle, she could still give Palpatine many opportunities when she was unconscious.

He sighed again and said, "I don't recommend over-exciting the Separatists, but now the problem of Geonosis must be resolved, who can stand up?"

Deputy Chancellor Mas Amedda said: "It is too late to wait for the Parliamentary Vote at this Emergency Moment! There is another way! We can grant Emergency Ruling Power to the Supreme Chancellor so that the Supreme Chancellor can issue orders immediately, build an Army, and launch an attack! However, the Power of the Emergency Ruling is very important, and no one in the Senate dares to propose this motion..."

Senator Ask Aak echoed: "We need a Senator with enough prestige and enough courage to lead us to take this step bravely!"

"Who can do it?" Palpatine asked rhetorically.

The people around fell into silence. Palpatine glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the acting member of Naboo, the Gungan Jar Jar Binks, and made him pay attention to his gaze. Binks lowered his head and averted his eyes, not daring to meet Palpatine's eyes.

"Maybe the Separatists are worried about the threat posed by Senator Padmé Amidala, so they want to assassinate her again and again." Deputy Chancellor Mas Amedda said.

"Forget it, let the Senate continue to vote. Anyway, the Republic has a deep foundation, and we are not afraid of the Separatists making waves. It's just that those planets on the edge of the Middle Rim and the Outer Rim... I'm really worried about Kalee and Naboo. The tragedy of Malastare will happen again and again." Supreme Chancellor Palpatine shook his head, turned and left.

Jar Jar Binks seemed touched and bowed his head in deep thought.

Bail Organa sensed that the atmosphere was not right, he wanted to say something but looked around, shook his head slightly, and sighed indistinctly.

The next day, the Jedi Order sent new information again.

In the holographic projection, Anakin Skywalker said eagerly: "Droids! The entire underground of Geonosis is a factory, a huge factory!! Countless Droids and various War Machines are being produced in the factory! The Separatist Transport Fleet is loading an Army of Droids!!!"

The communication didn't last long before it was covered by dense gunfire and explosions.

War is imminent!

Under such circumstances, Bail Organa had nothing to say. Senator Amidala was not there, and the Leaderless Peaceful Senators didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, Jar Jar Binks, who had been thinking hard all night, stood up. He came to the Senate to publicly put forward a proposal, "Since the actions of the Separatists have crossed the red line of war, blind hesitation will not help! Therefore, on behalf of the planet Naboo, I formally propose a motion——to the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Sheev Palpatine grant Emergency Ruling Power!!"

The Emergency Ruling Power is stipulated in the Constitution of the Galactic Republic. When the Republic is in crisis, in order to avoid the inefficiency caused by the huge bureaucracy, the Emergency Ruling Power can be granted to the Supreme Chancellor as appropriate, so that he can bypass the Senate and issue orders on his own. It even includes some Directives that violate Constitutional Regulations.

The endowment of this Power is equivalent to giving the Supreme Chancellor immediate Supreme Power, allowing him to act arbitrarily, just like an Emperor!

Proposing this motion in this chaotic and urgent time is undoubtedly a bomb! For the Members of the Peace Faction, the statement of Jar Jar Binks, who temporarily replaced Senator Amidala as the acting Senator of Naboo, is also the statement of Amidala herself!

That being the case, why hesitate? Now that the Leaders of the Party have already expressed their views, they all followed up and seconded the motion!

Members of the Loyalty Committee who had been waiting for this day immediately began to push for the conclusion of this proposal, coupled with the cooperation of many pawns in the Senate that Palpatine had placed in advance. Later in the day, the motion was passed!

Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine has been formally granted Emergency Ruling Powers by the Senate!

"As I said before, I was looking for peace at the last second! But the Separatists didn't give me this chance. Even now, I am still pursuing peace, but that doesn't mean I will give up self-defense! The right to Adjudicate is the Supreme Power, but also the Supreme Responsibility! I will use this Supreme Power and exercise this responsibility carefully to bring peace and unity to the Galactic Republic!! I solemnly promise to solve the Separatism After the crisis, I will automatically relinquish this Supreme Power and return everything to the Senate!"

In Sheef Palpatine's solemn oath, he gave orders—

Build an Army and formally form the Grand Republic Army!

At the same time, Master Yoda immediately went to Kamino, led the 200,000 Clone Army that was ready, and set off directly!

Target: Planet Geonosis!
