2059 Towards War (Part 2)
Galactic Republic, Central Circle, near Planet Aduris.
A merchant fleet heading towards Corellia floated silently in space. Around this fleet floated countless wreckages. They were all the battleships that had been escorting them! Among these floating wreckages, there were a large number of commonly used escort ships — Corellian gunships. There were even the wreckages of two Aquitense-class light cruisers!
A completely black fleet was parked next to the merchant fleet. In the middle was a ferocious-looking Predator cruiser and a modified Aquitense-class frigate. Other warships surrounded the merchant fleet, including four Predator frigates and some CR-90 frigates. Three broadside class cruisers hung far away. Their fire control systems had already locked onto these pitiful cargo ships.
The shuttle took off from the Aquitense-class frigate. The few large AA-9 cargo ships in the merchant fleet obediently opened their flight decks to allow the shuttle to land. A young man in a black leather jacket with long silver hair draped over his shoulders walked straight to the bridge under the escort of a team of Zealots.
"Do you know what you're doing?! This is the Corellian Chamber of Commerce's fleet! The Republic's judicial fleet will not let you off!! "The commander of the merchant fleet shouted as he walked over.
Taber Zane glanced at him coldly. "All ships heading towards the Galactic Republic are illegal. So, this is illegal."
"You're crazy! What country's law is this?! "The commander roared.
Bang! Taber Zane shot him in the head. Zane said coldly, "Not the Republic's law."
After saying that, he looked around. This AA-9 transport ship had undergone some modifications. Some passenger cabins had been added, and the important people among the passengers were all in the bridge. Soon, his gaze fell on a beautiful woman in her twenties. She had a graceful figure and wore a beautiful white dress. Her beautiful face was still covered in tears.
Taber Zane stared at the woman for a long time. Then he smiled and walked over. The woman was scared to the extreme. She shivered and muttered, "Don't kill me … I'll do anything you want me to … I beg you …" She looked very pitiful.
Zane lifted the girl's chin with two fingers and looked at her for a long time. Suddenly, he reached towards her chest and gently removed the light blue corsage from her chest. He held the corsage in front of him and gently sniffed it. An intoxicated expression appeared on his face as he lightly said, "Kill them all."
Gunshots and screams immediately rang out!
Back at the headquarters in Nar Xada, Taber-Zane walked straight into the command center. He smiled at Jane Connor, who was sitting at the head of the table handling documents. He stepped forward and said, "Her Excellency Svetlana's intelligence was very timely. We intercepted a Corellian Chamber of Commerce transport fleet and seized five AA-9 transport ships and over 600,000 tons of cargo on them."
"Well done, Taber-Zane. Have you cleaned up the goods? "Jane Connor said with a smile.
"There's a batch of ARC-170 fighter engines and 100,000 tons of metamaterials that can be used for hyperspace engines. Most of the others are also military supplies, including laser cannons and blaster cannons. It seems that the Corellian Chamber of Commerce's claim of neutrality and that they only transport civilian supplies is a joke, "Taber-Zane replied.
Jane Connor nodded and said, "Pass this news to Tang Yu and Peacock. This is enough for Count Dooku to use to argue with the Chinese media."
"I'll do it now." Taber-Zane did not leave after saying that. He stood up and took out the light blue corsage. He walked up to Jane Connor with both hands and said gently, "This is my gift to you, beautiful Miss Jane Connor."
Jane Connor grabbed the corsage and crushed it into pieces with a light pinch. Then he said with a cold face, "Get lost!"
…
Galactic Republic capital, Coruscant, Galactic Parliament.
"The actions of the Separatists are unforgivable! They are inciting the galactic pirates and smugglers to attack our merchant fleets! What does this mean? This meant that the Separatists had already identified themselves as bandits! They keep saying that they want freedom and democracy! But when freedom and democracy are placed before them, they choose to rob! "Shiv Palpatine said loudly on the platform.
"Thanks to everyone's hard work, our third military reform is in full swing! Before the end of the year, we will recruit another 27 million soldiers! To protect our lives and our wealth, the Republic must be armed! I will propose a motion to abolish the designation of the Republic's judicial fleet! Abolish the designation of the Republic Marine Corps! We want to reorganize our army! As for this new army … "Palpatine suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He looked at the councilors around him and looked at them again and again.
The entire parliament hall was silent. Everyone looked at Palpatine.
Suddenly, he opened his arms and shouted with all his strength, "The Grand Republic Army!"
Everyone was excited. Everyone cheered enthusiastically. "Long live the Grand Republic Army!"
"Long live the Republic!"
"Destroy those Separatist bastards!"
On one of the platforms, Naboo councilor Padmé Amidala frowned. She turned to look at Councilor Bell Organa on the other side. She only saw Senator Organa gently shaking his head at her, then nodding slightly. Padmé understood what he meant. Shaking his head meant that the situation was unstoppable. Nodding meant that he agreed with the motion.
"Let's go back to Naboo." Padmé whispered to Gaga Binks, who was standing beside her, and walked out without looking back.
…
Coruscant, the Temple of the Jedi.
"There are forces from the dark side hiding. The Separatists," Grandmaster Yoda said worriedly.
"You mean Sith? Sith is hiding among the Separatists? "Grandmaster Mace Windu asked.
"Sith. Perhaps. The relationship between Count Dooku and the dark side is more important, "Yoda replied.
"Count Dooku has always been a man of virtue and prestige, and he has been training as a Jedi for 70 years. Even though he has abandoned the path of the Jedi, I still don't believe that he would fall to the dark side," Windu said.
"Desire. The dark side comes from. Fear and desire will arise. The perception of the Force is very vague. Now, there is no way of knowing Count Dooku's situation. " Yoda stood up from his seat with his cane and sighed. "There is no choice but to go to war. All of us."
