Chapter 2046 Resignation

2046. farewell

Councilor Padmé-Amidala walked out of the venue after she abstained from voting. She frowned and kept thinking. 35xs saw a tall, dark-skinned human congressman approaching from a distance, she hurried up, and slightly saluted: "Chairman Bail Organa."

Organa nodded with a smile, and slightly returned the salute: "Member Padmé Amidala." Then the two walked together with their entourage.

"The passage of this bill today makes me very worried, Representative Organa." Padmé said with a frown.

"What are you worried about?" Organa asked rhetorically.

"I think this kind of continuous military expansion will only backfire and give the separatists more reason to arm themselves. I worry that this kind of arms race may be the beginning of the war." Padmé replied.

Organa said in a deep voice: "But it is an indisputable fact that the separatist forces are becoming more and more rampant. It has just been a week since the Coruscant power outage. Your Excellency the Speaker is actually right. It is easy for us to oppose military expansion, but because of this power outage As for the more than 2,000 workers who died, who should we go to for an explanation? Isn’t it our republic’s responsibility to protect their safety?”

Padmé shook his head and said: "Army expansion is not the fundamental solution to the problem. On the contrary, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. Because this round of military expansion is apportioned, it is a heavy burden. In this way, those who were originally very difficult The Middle and Outer Rim galaxies are more susceptible to separatism."

Organa thought for a while and said, "Actually, I voted for Bill 87 today."

"Then your consideration is..."

"The corruption problem in the Republic is indeed very serious now, to the point where it is almost shaking the foundation of our country. Moreover, the armed attacks carried out by separatists in recent years have increased. We really need a team that can truly protect Our army. And this role, the Judiciary Fleet has not fulfilled." Representative Organa took a deep breath, and then let it out heavily.

"But this approach is too radical." Padmé also sighed.

"It's time to be radical. I don't know that this kind of military expansion will make the galaxies in the middle ring and outer ring go further towards separatism, but compared to revitalizing the national prestige of the Galactic Republic, these are short-term tolerable Labor pains. Once the Republic can get back on its feet and re-prove that it can protect these joined galaxies, then without us doing more, Separatism will naturally collapse and those galaxies will return to our embrace. 35xs” Bell- Organa said.

Padmé nodded slowly, and wanted to say something, but she also felt that what Organa said made sense, so she smiled slightly at Organa and said: "This is the only way to do it now. But I will try my best to be there There are different voices in the parliament to prevent the parliament from becoming the speaker of Palpatine."

"That's right, Senator Padmé." Organa also said with a smile.

At this moment, the two only saw Peacock walking over with a haggard face. She seemed to have been up all night, with dark circles under her eyes, and she seemed to have lost her luster. She stepped forward and saluted the two respectively: "Member Padmé, Councilor Organa."

"Hello,

Lord Peacock. You are..." Senator Organa was a little surprised to see that the peacock, which was so graceful in the past, turned into this.

"Yesterday, the guardian planet has decided to withdraw from the Galactic Republic." Peacock said slowly.

"Your Excellency Peacock, why...why did you do this?" Padmé was shocked.

Peacock said with a wry smile: "Because of us, it is really unsustainable... After joining the Republic, because of an indiscriminate disaster, all the assistance the Republic gave us was wiped out, but we started the project to integrate with the Republic .In the end, had to rely on debt to survive..."

She sighed again and said, "I'm here to bid farewell to you today. I'll see you next time. I don't know when it will be. Maybe it's when the guardian planet is completely reduced to other people's manpower and resources. ...Sometimes, I really hope that the electromagnetic nebula in the by-419 star field has not dissipated, the guardian planet at that time was still a heavenly home..."

After finishing speaking, Peacock bowed deeply without waiting for their answer, and left without looking back, leaving only Padmé and Organa stunned.

Organa was stunned for a long time, and then slowly said: "The guardian planet is really a heavenly planet. Although I didn't stay on that planet for a long time, I did have a wonderful time. Time... maybe I shouldn't have voted yes just now..."

"But I have heard recently that in order to repay the debt, the guardian planet had to open a lot of factories to produce various low-tech parts." Padmé shook his head and sighed: "In fact, what happened to the guardian planet, It also represents the experience of many weak galaxies in the middle ring and the outer ring, no one is willing to speak for them, but there are always many people who are willing to add insult to injury."

Congressman Organa said in a deep voice: "Because of the assassination of the speaker last time, the guardian planet did encounter a lot of difficulties. Even if they proved that the speaker's assassination was what the separatists claimed and was not the responsibility of the guardian planet, it did not reverse this point. .Many planets with advanced civilizations in the inner circle and the inner circle look at this matter with a mentality of watching a joke..."

Padmé said very seriously: "That's why so many galaxies are willing to join the separatism... I am very worried that one day I will see the name of the guardian planet among the separatist forces."

"Maybe, this thing has already happened..." Senator Organa said seriously, "But Senator Padmé, we must strengthen our beliefs! I hope the Republic can welcome the Guardian Planet again with a better attitude. , and those other galaxies that broke away from the Republic."

"I hope so... No! I believe, it will! The Republic will definitely sweep away the slump and stand up again!" Padmé's eyes also showed firmness.

...

After leaving the parliament building, Peacock's expression instantly returned to its previous appearance. She smiled slightly and said, "Svetlana, you and Eliza will stay in Coruscant. We can't just throw away our eyeliner and power here. One day, I will rush to smuggle some zealot soldiers from the guardian planet to help you. Moreover, the technical bottleneck of the mass production of t-x has also broken through a lot. This batch will have five mass-produced t-x units to help. Although the performance It’s also a big gap compared to Elisabeth, but it will help a lot.”
