Chapter 375: The Liquidation of The Losers

After the celebration and commendation of the winners, the losers will naturally have to stand on the trial platform for trial.

In the vicious event of the Trade Federation invasion of Planet Naboo, several direct participants have been captured. Among them, Daultay Dofine, the senior Director of the Trade Union, died in the battle with the destruction of the Droid Control Ship. The Viceroy of the Trade Federation, Newt Gunley, and his adjutant, Rune Haako, were in the Palace of Planet Naboo and captured.

Xiao Guanghua, a Military Observer of the Fourth Civilization, was also captured at the same time.

Of course, the term Fourth Civilization is not used in the Galactic Republic. At this time, Xiao Guanghua's identity is the Action Consultant of the Fourth Group. He appeared in this battle, and according to the statement of the Commander of the Gungan Army, Xiao Guanghua appeared as the Commander of the Droid Army.

This situation immediately made the Fourth Group passive in the public opinion of the Senate.

It was also because of this incident that Tang Xiao originally wanted to visit Planet Naboo and have a meal at the celebration of Planet Naboo, but because of the ambiguous relationship between Planet Dawn and the Fourth Group, he was directly rejected by Amidala. The ugly refusal of the Queen made Tang Xiao a little disappointed, so he dismissed Xiao Guanghua in a rage.

During the trial against Nute Gunray, Rune Haako, and Xiao Guanghua, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine immediately showed a completely different spirit from the previous Finis Valorum and he decisively demanded to Indict the three people for war crimes and demand huge compensation from the Trade Federation and the Fourth Group.

But the corruption of the Republic cannot be solved in a day or two. The Trade Federation refuses to admit that Nute Gunray's actions are guilty. Their representative, Lott Dod, has repeatedly emphasized that it was Planet Naboo who broke the contract first, and the Trade Federation's actions were just normal business practice.

He also took out the unequal treaty signed by the former king of Naboo, Ars Veruna, as evidence, showing that Planet Naboo has not fulfilled its treaty obligations in the last whole year, causing 1.2 billion 400 million in damage to the Trade Federation. The loss of tens of millions of Galactic Credits.

However, Planet Naboo refused to recognize the validity of the treaty. Queen Amidala said that it was signed under the oppression of power, and the treaty itself violated the Constitution of the Republic.

Then several parties began to argue about this treaty again, endlessly.

The Fourth Group's attitude towards Xiao Guanghua is even simpler. Gross Shelby, who has been promoted to the Director of the Fourth Group, did not participate in the hearing. Rosanna, a representative of the Fourth Group who was also promoted, attended the hearing.

If these sanctions are enforced, it will basically be the death sentence for the Trade Federation and the Fourth Group.

But the two companies have no intention of accepting sanctions at all. Not only that, but their Representatives, Lot Dod and Rosanna Goodes, did not withdraw from the Galactic Senate as many people imagined but continued to stay in the Galactic Senate causing kinds of discussion in the Senate.

And at this time, a very delicate situation also appeared in the Galactic Senate.

Those who strongly demanded severe punishment of the Trade Federation and the Fourth Group were mostly representatives of the planets in the Inner Ring and the Core Area, while the representatives of the planets in the Outer Ring were mostly ambiguous, or simply openly supported the Trade Federation.

But Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was also very straightforward. At a meeting, he publicly declared that those planets that supported Corporate Giants such as the Trade Federation were bought by them and were the root of corruption in the Galactic Senate.

He attributed the corruption of Finis Valorum to the bribes and bribes of Corporate Giants such as the Trade Federation, and he began to guide the wind in the Senate. All members who supported the Trade Federation were bought and corrupted. Yes, the sinners of the Republic.

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine intentionally or unintentionally overlooked a fact, because the economic lifeline of many planets in the Outer Rim Star Region relies on Corporate Giants such as the Trade Federation to operate. For some planets that are not capable of interstellar navigation, the connection between them and the Republic also relies on the Trade Federation.

Even if there is exploitation in this process, at least it is a guarantee for their Economic Development and Sector Domain Security, which is exactly what the Republic cannot give. These planets support the Trade Federation, which is actually understandable, and it is also a normal political orientation behavior.

However, Palpatine's approach is to please the developed planets in the Inner Ring and the Core Circle that are truly profound and to label the backward planets in the Outer Ring and kick them aside.

Soon, Senators from the Outer Ring Star District, including Senator Ainlee Teem, began to find that they were becoming more and more isolated in the Senate, and their voices became smaller and smaller. The former Ring Group also fell apart because of the betrayal of the leader Orn Free Taa.

But at this moment, a person stood up.

Planet Dawn Senator, Francis Underwood.
