Chapter 4826 [Hide your strength and bide your time]

"Poor Padmé, she's being completely manipulated." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh, knowing that Padmé was deceived by Senator Palpatine and was becoming a tool to realize his political ambitions.

However, Xiang Nan did not remind Padmé.

On the one hand, he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the Jedi and the Sith. Although the Sith were absolutely evil, the Jedi were not so great and glorious.

For example, Jedi Knights in the Galactic Republic captured Force-sensitive children everywhere and took them away from their parents when they were only one or two years old.

This is mandatory, there is no room for discussion. And the Jedi Knights basically don't care about civilians.

In the movie, the peerless warriors knew that Tatooine was a city of sin and still retained slavery, which was banned by the Galactic Republic, but they still turned a blind eye to it, even though one of the slaves was the mother of Jedi apprentice Anakin.

Therefore, in the minds of ordinary people, Jedi Knights are a group of elites who are high above others, have privileges, and look down on ordinary people. Their image is not very good.

On the one hand, as Palpatine said, the Galactic Republic is indeed corrupt to the core, even to the point of being hated by both God and man, and the conflicts among domestic factions have become quite intense.

In "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", the reason why Count Dooku defected from a Jedi Knight to a Sith Knight was because he could not stand the corruption of the Republic.

He couldn't stand the Jedi Order fighting to the death for these corrupt bureaucrats, so he was willing to rebel against the Jedi Order and choose to join the Sith Organization.

There are many people in the Galactic Republic who hold the same idea as Count Dooku.

Therefore, in this situation, there is basically no other way except to fight a big war.

Even if Xiang Nan exposed Palpatine's true face and revealed his identity as the Sith Lord, it would at most delay the outbreak of the war, but would not achieve the goal of ending the war at all.

If that's the case, why bother?

……

Senator Palpatine then chose to take his leave, leaving Queen Amidala alone with her thoughts.

At this time, Xiang Nan, Shmi, and Jar Jar Binks were also arranged to stay in the guest rooms first.

Because Xiang Nan cheated in the blood test, the concentration of Midi-chlorians in his "blood" was insufficient, and he was not Force-sensitive. Therefore, Qui-Gon Jinn did not have to take him to the Jedi Temple to be tested by the Jedi Elders Council.

This was not a bad thing for Xiang Nan. He had never wanted to become a Jedi Knight, so he stayed in the guest room with his mother Shmi and watched TV and radio programs through the Galaxy Holographic Network.

The Galactic Holographic Network transmits signals via hyperwaves, which can propagate through hyperspace. Therefore, even messages from thousands or tens of thousands of light years away can be transmitted and received in real time, which is quite amazing.

There are many holographic radio stations on the holographic network, broadcasting programs to the public in the Milky Way. Their programs are transmitted through hyperspace through real-time channels, allowing live broadcasts.

There are countless TV programs on the TV in Xiang Nan's guest room, up to billions, including news, entertainment, variety shows, dramas, adventure, shopping... it's simply dazzling.

It was the first time that Xiang Nandu saw such a rich program and he couldn't help but admire it.

……

In the afternoon, Queen Amidala and Senator Palpatine attended a special meeting of the Galactic Republic Senate. At the meeting, she angrily accused the Trade Federation of attacking and occupying Naboo without the approval of the Senate, and called on the Senate to stop and punish their criminal behavior.

The Trade Union representatives firmly denied the accusation and proposed that the parliament send representatives to Naboo to investigate. A large number of corrupt parliamentarians who had long been bribed by the Trade Union expressed their support.

Seeing this, Chancellor Finis Valorum had no choice but to decide to send representatives to Naboo to investigate first, and then discuss the rights and wrongs of the Trade Alliance.

But Queen Amidala knew that such an investigation would yield no results.

Because those representatives who went to investigate would most likely be bribed by the Trade Union. Or if they couldn't be bribed, they would directly send assassins to kill them. By then, there would still be no results.

Even if he was honest and brave, and managed to escape assassination, and brought the results of the investigation back to the parliament, by then, Naboo would have been ravaged by the Trade Federation.

Therefore, Queen Amidala could not afford to delay.

So she finally took Senator Palpatine's advice and cast a vote of complete no confidence in Chancellor Valorum.

Chancellor Valoren's reputation has been severely damaged by corruption scandals, and his support rate is shaky. Now Queen Amidala has cast a vote of no confidence in him.

Immediately, members of parliament from other planets followed suit, and for a moment, the call to remove Speaker Valoren resounded throughout the entire parliament building.

In fact, this was also instigated by Senator Palpatine and his master Darth Plagueis.

Darth Plagueis was also a Dark Lord of the Sith. He sensed Palpatine's greed for power, so he took him in as an apprentice and taught him the knowledge of Sith Warriors and how to gain more power.

Like Palpatine, Darth Plagueis also has a brilliant identity on the surface, that is, Hego Damask, chairman of the interstellar consortium Damask Holdings.

He possesses enormous wealth and extraordinary status, and is highly respected within the Galactic Republic. He is known as a "wise man", and that is why he is able to do things behind the scenes.

Darth Plagueis also studied the Force very deeply, and was even able to bring the dead back to life. He even tried to create life directly through the Force, and Anakin Skywalker was the result of this experiment.

The Force released by Darth Plagueis traveled across the universe and affected Shmi Skywalker, allowing her to resonate with the Force, become pregnant as a virgin, and eventually give birth to her son Anakin.

That is why the concentration of Midi-chlorians in Anakin Skywalker's body is unprecedentedly high, even much higher than that of the most outstanding genius, Master Yoda.

……

Seeing the calls for his removal rising one after another, Speaker Phoenix Valoren sat down dejectedly, knowing that the situation was hopeless.

The motion to remove the current Speaker Valoren was successfully passed with a majority vote. The bill took effect immediately, and Speaker Valoren was removed from his post.

The new speaker candidate has also been nominated and will be formally voted in the near future. Three of them have been nominated, one is Bell Andres from Alderaan, one is Anli Tim from Marasdale, and the other is Senator Palpatine from Naboo.

And this is exactly what Palpatine wanted, because although Bell Andres and Anri Tim were nominated, they were just foils.

He and his master Darth Plagueis had already bribed the power brokers and vigorously promoted Palpatine to the senators, so he was destined to be elected Speaker with a majority of votes.
