After abstaining from voting, Padme Amidala walked out of the meeting hall. Her brows were tightly furrowed as she pondered. She saw a tall, dark-skinned human senator walking over from afar. She hurriedly walked up and bowed slightly. "Senator Bell Organa."
Organa smiled and nodded. He also bowed slightly. "Senator Padme Amidala." Then, the two of them walked together with their entourage.
"I'm very worried about the passing of this bill today, Senator Organa." Padme frowned.
"What are you worried about?" Organa asked in return.
"I think this kind of continuous military expansion will only backfire. It will give the separatists more reason to arm themselves. I'm worried that this kind of arms race might be the beginning of a war, "Padme replied.
Organa said in a deep voice, "But it's also an indisputable fact that the separatists are becoming more and more rampant. It's only been a week since the blackout on Coruscant. Mr. President is actually right. It's very simple for us to oppose the expansion of the military. But who are we going to ask for an explanation for the deaths of more than 2,000 workers because of this blackout? Isn't it our Republic's responsibility to protect their safety? "
Padme shook her head. "Expanding the military is not the fundamental solution to the problem. On the contrary, it's equivalent to drinking poison to quench thirst. This is because the military expenses for this round of expansion will be another heavy burden. This way, the Central and Outer Ring galaxies, which are already very difficult to begin with, will be even more susceptible to the temptation of the separatists. "
Organa thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I voted in favor of today's Bill 87."
"Then your consideration is …"
"Right now, the Republic's security problem is very serious, to the point that it's almost shaking the foundation of our country. Moreover, the separatists have been carrying out more and more armed attacks in recent years. We really do need an army that can truly protect us. And this role is not fulfilled by the judicial fleet. "Senator Organa took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily.
"But this method is too radical." Padmé also sighed.
"It's also time to be radical. How could I not know that this kind of military expansion will cause the Central and Outer Ring galaxies to further lean towards the separatists? But compared to reinvigorating the Galactic Republic's national prestige, these are all bearable short-term pains. Once the Republic can stand up again and prove that it can protect these allied galaxies, then we don't need to do anything more. The separatists will naturally collapse, and those galaxies will return to our embrace, "Organa said.
Padmé nodded slowly. She wanted to say something, but she felt that Organa's words made sense, so she smiled at him and said, "That's all we can do for now. But I will also try to make a different voice in the parliament to prevent the parliament from becoming Chairman Palpatine's words. "
"That's how it should be, Senator Padme," Organa said with a smile.
At that moment, both of them saw Peacock walk over with a haggard face. She looked like she had not slept for the whole night. There were dark circles under her eyes and she looked like she had lost all her life. She stepped forward and bowed to both of them. "Senator Padme, Senator Organa."
You … "Organa was a little surprised to see the graceful Peacock in such a state. "Yesterday, the Guardian Planet decided to withdraw from the Galactic Republic," Peacock said slowly.
"Yesterday, the Guardian Planet decided to withdraw from the Galactic Republic," Peacock said slowly.
"Your Excellency Peacock, this … why?" Padme was shocked.
Peacock chuckled bitterly and said, "That is because we are no longer able to continue … After joining the Republic, due to an unforeseen disaster, all the aid that the Republic had given us was lost and we had to start the project to connect with the Republic again. In the end, we have no choice but to rely on debts to survive … "
She sighed again. "I'm here today to say goodbye. I don't know when we will meet again. Maybe it will be when the Guardian Planet completely becomes someone else's manpower and resource production … Sometimes, I really hope that the electromagnetic nebula of the BY-419 star sector has not dissipated. At that time, the Guardian Planet will still be a paradise … "
After saying that, Peacock did not wait for their reply. She bowed deeply and left without looking back, leaving Padme and Organa dumbfounded.
Organa stared blankly for a long time before slowly saying, "The Guardian Planet is truly a heavenly planet. Although I didn't stay on that planet for a long time, I did have a wonderful time … Maybe … "
"But I did hear recently that in order to repay the debt, the Guardian Planet had to open a lot of factories to produce all kinds of low-tech parts." Padme shook her head and sighed.

She seemed to have lost all her luster. She walked up and bowed to the two. "Senator Padme, Senator Organa."
"Hello, Your Excellency Peacock. You … "Senator Organa was a little surprised to see the graceful Peacock become like this.
"Yesterday, the Guardian Planet decided to withdraw from the Galactic Republic," Peacock said slowly.
"Your Excellency Peacock, this … Why is this happening?" Padme turned pale with fright.
Peacock chuckled bitterly and said, "That is because we are no longer able to continue … After joining the Republic, due to an unforeseen disaster, all the aid that the Republic had given us was lost and we had to start the project to connect with the Republic again. In the end, we have no choice but to rely on debts to survive … "
She sighed again and said, "I'm here today to say goodbye. I don't know when we will meet again. Maybe it will be when the Guardian Planet has completely become someone else's manpower and resource production … Sometimes, I really hope that the electromagnetic nebula of the BY-419 star sector has not dissipated. At that time, the Guardian Planet will still be a paradise … "
After saying that, Peacock did not wait for their reply. She bowed deeply and left without looking back, leaving behind the dumbfounded Padme and Organa.
Organa stared blankly for a long time before slowly saying, "The Guardian Planet is truly a heavenly planet. Although I didn't stay on that planet for a long time, I did have a wonderful time … Maybe … "
"But I did hear recently that in order to repay the debt, the Guardian Planet had no choice but to open many factories to produce all kinds of low-tech parts." Padme shook her head and sighed.
