The words of Senator Sheev Palpatine are undoubtedly a betrayal of Finis Valorum, but no one cares about how he feels as the Supreme Chancellor. So what if this is the real reason? Who cares? Is there still less blame on Valorum's back? I don't care about taking more of this.
Lott Dod, the representative of the Trade Federation, flew over the Anti-Gravity Platform and said loudly, "It's nonsense! There is no invasion at all, and all the actions of the Trade Federation are legal!"
"The Trade Federation has not been allowed to speak yet!" Finis Valorum reprimanded angrily.
"Let me invite the new Queen of Naboo, Queen Amidala, to speak," said Senator Palpatine.
Queen Amidala stood up and said: "Dear Members of the Republic, I must regret to tell you that Planet Naboo was brutally invaded by the Droid Legion of the Trade Federation just before!"
"This is simply impossible! This incident has never happened, you are lying!" Lott Dod directly ignored the order of Supreme Chancellor Valorum not to allow him to speak, and interrupted Queen Amidala loudly, "The Trade Federation requests to send an investigation team to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
As long as the investigation team is sent out, it will take a long time, and you can also make a fuss about the investigation team. The big problem is money, and the Trade Federation lacks everything else, except money.
"Planet Malastare agrees with the Trade Federation and requests to send a survey team to Planet Naboo." Senator Ainlee Teem stood up and said.
Finis Valorum looked at the Gran man again. He also didn't expect Tim's statement, because Planet Malastare was blocked by the Corporate Alliance just two years ago! It stands to reason that they should share the same illness as Planet Naboo, but his statement now can only explain one thing...
The Galactic Senate, which represents the supreme authority of the Republic, has decayed...
"Planet Dawn supports the decision to send an investigation team." Planet Dawn Senator Francis Underwood stood up and seconded, with a modest smile on his face at all times, and he exchanged a look with Senator Teem.
That's right, the Senate of the Republic has indeed decayed, that's why the planets in the Outer Ring Star Region began to drift away from the Republic.
Finis Valorum didn't see this, he was old, too many things involved his energy, and he couldn't see such a distant place. It's time for the curtain call of his stage play.
Seeing that many Senators supported sending an investigation team, Finis Valorum wanted to say something, but Deputy Speaker Mas Amedda whispered a few words to him, and Valorum turned pale and took a deep breath. In one breath, he said: "The proposal is accepted! Queen Amidala of Naboo, do you agree with the Republic sending an investigation committee to investigate?"
Queen Amidala said loudly: "I disagree! I risked my life to break through the blockade and came to Coruscant, asking the Republic to help us stop this invasion! My people are starving, and a large number of civilians die every day from the cold and hungry, and you're here talking about whether the invasion even existed?"
"We are trying to help Planet Naboo," Valorum said.
"Then please stop the Trade Federation immediately and let them withdraw their troops!" Queen Amidala said loudly, she looked at the speechless Finis Valorum, and said slowly, "If the Supreme Chancellor, If your Excellency is unable to perform your duties, then I hope that the Senate of the Republic can elect a new leader, a leader who can help us!"
She looked around, "As a planet of victims of war, I formally propose a Vote of No Confidence in the current Supreme Chancellor, Finis Valorum, and start the impeachment process!"
Finis Valorum's face suddenly turned pale, and he slumped down on his seat as if he was powerless. The noisy Senate hall swirled around him like a phantom, and he felt empty in his heart.
Finally, the moment has come.
From 44BBY, leading the Galactic Republic Senate to the present, 12 years of ups and downs, he has witnessed the most corrupt and darkest moment of the Republic, and he tried hard to turn the tide, but the darkness finally engulfed him.
If Planet Naboo requests a Vote of No Confidence to impeach him as a victim of the war, the voting will start immediately according to the procedure, and he will bid farewell to the political arena completely in two or three days at the latest.
He doesn't think it's impossible for him to get a majority of votes in the current Senate situation.
...
"I've decided, and I'll sign it. On the Clone Army agreement." Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas told Master Dooku in a mansion on Coruscant.
Master Dooku wears a small white flower on his chest. His elder brother, the Earl of Planet Serenno, passed away due to illness a few days ago. According to family etiquette, he needs to use this to mourn.
"What made you make up your mind, Master Dyas, my friend." Master Dooku said in a deep voice.
"Planet Naboo...the Republic cannot do anything during this invasion. Today, the Senate began the impeachment process against Speaker Valorum, and he is destined to step down. I don't know where the future of the Republic will go, but, at least something can be done for the future of the Republic," Sifo-Dyas said.
"You have a good relationship with Supreme Chancellor Valorum, and I know you are sad too. But, looking forward, maybe the Republic will become better under the leadership of the new speaker. And on Planet Naboo, Master Qui-Gon Jinn Right there, he is my best apprentice, I know him, he will solve this crisis." Master Dooku said.
Sifo-Dyas nodded and said, "I hope so."
Saying goodbye to Master Dooku, Sifo-Dyas sent messages to Hego Damask II and Lama Su respectively, telling them of his decision, and will 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 Finis Valorum. He frowned and connected.
"Master Dyas, I regret to say that as far as I know, the Vote of No Confidence in me has exceeded 70% in this impeachment, so at this time tomorrow, I will no longer be the Supreme Chancellor of the Senate of the Republic ' said Valorum.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Supreme Chancellor," Dyas said.
"We have known each other for 20 years. We fought side by side when I was not the Supreme Chancellor, but now, you can only rely on yourself to move forward, at the most critical moment of this Republic." Valorum sighed, "However, at least while I am the Supreme Chancellor, I hope to do one last thing for the Republic."
"You say."
"You also know that in the past two years, I have been asking you to fight against the evil forces in the Republic. In fact, I have long known that I have lost control of those Corporate Giants and Political Giants. What I can do in the Senate is fewer and fewer, but at least I still have the power to fight these gangsters and smugglers, hehe..." Valorum smiled wryly, "This is the last information I got, a group of Pykes are on Planet Felucia, Spice Smuggling, I hope you will investigate and arrest this group of people."
"No problem, Your Excellency Supreme Chancellor, this is exactly what I am good at." Master Dyas said.
"Don't say that, I can't afford to be the Supreme Chancellor, haha." Valorum smiled.
"I will hunt down this group of Pykes. I believe that our efforts will not be in vain! The Galactic Republic will definitely have a bright future!!" Dyas said firmly.
"Hearing this, I feel relieved." Finis Valoren said: "The candidates for the new Supreme Chancellor include Bail Antilles from Planet Alderaan, Ainlee Teem from Planet Malastare and Naboo's Sheev Palpatine, although I can't see through Palpatine recently, I believe in his ability. Although he betrayed me, I will still vote for him to hope for a better Republic.
