Chapter 4846 [Order No. 4849]

"That's great. Now there are more than 500 senators standing on our side." Padmé said happily to Xiang Nan.

"Congratulations to you." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled when he heard it.

"Sooner or later, when we have more than half of the people on our side, I will propose again to tighten the power of the Speaker. Then, let's see how he responds." Padmé said to Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan nodded, but he was not as confident as Padme.

Because he knew that Palpatine was extremely cunning and would never sit still and wait for death. It was even possible that he would overturn the table, use force to kill those congressmen who opposed him, and then directly proclaim himself emperor.

Anyway, the military and political power of the Galactic Republic is now in the hands of him alone. Even if he declares himself emperor, no one can stop him.

……

At this moment, Xiang Nan was suddenly startled and looked outside the balcony.

A moment later, a huge Wanbaochuan-class battleship appeared in the sky above the planet Coruscant.

Then countless fighter planes flew out from the battleship and opened fire in all directions.

All of a sudden, smoke and dust rose up, countless buildings began to collapse, and countless people began to scream and flee.

"Oh my god, how is this possible?" A spaceship from the Confederacy of Independent Stars actually attacked Coruscant? This scared Padme.

"There's no time to talk about this, we have to leave immediately." Xiang Nan pulled Padmé and hurried out of the residence.

He knew that the Independent Confederacy's sneak attack on Coruscant must have been planned by Palpatine.

In the original book, he had planned this attack and was kidnapped by the Independent Star Confederation, and was later rescued by Jedi Knights Anakin and Obi-Wan.

He became famous because of this incident and became a hero in people's hearts. After all, he almost died for his country. Even the most critical people could not hold him accountable for surviving death.

But Xiang Nan's intuition told him that this sneak attack by the Independent Interstellar Confederation was not as simple as kidnapping Palpatine.

So he took Padmé away from the residence as soon as possible.

As expected, just as they left their residence, a missile hit their house directly, and in an instant, their house was blown to pieces.

In addition, the rooms of senators such as Bail Organa, Gideon Daniu, Tel Tanir, and Kai Ekwe were also attacked by missiles.

Many congressmen died on the spot, only a few escaped, and Palpatine was indeed kidnapped by the Independent Confederacy.

"Sure enough, he is not only going to stage a 'self-torture tactic', but also taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents." Xiang Nan understood immediately when he heard the news.

Because the senators who died this time were basically those who opposed Palpatine. But since he was also kidnapped, people could not suspect him, and he just happened to clear himself of suspicion.

"Gao, you are indeed a veteran politician, your approach is very smart." Xiang Nandu said admiringly.

……

Afterwards, Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan and others joined forces to rescue Palpatine.

Palpatine returned safely to Coruscant and became a hero of the entire Galactic Republic. He then told everyone a great news: the headquarters of the Independent Confederation of Stars was on Utapau.

Count Dooku, the president of the Independent Star Confederation, and his first commander General Grievous are there now. As long as they are wiped out, the war will be over.

Therefore, upon hearing the news, almost all Jedi Knights went to the planet Utapau to destroy the headquarters of the Independent Confederacy and capture war criminals Count Dooku and General Grievous.

"After we end the war, Palpatine will have no reason to hold on to power. If he still refuses to give up power, we will unite all the senators and expel him from the Galactic Republic Senate." Master Windu said to Padmé confidently.

Padmé nodded.

Once the war was over, Palpatine would have no reason to invoke the State of Emergency, and once the State of Emergency was lifted, he would lose all power.

In this way, it would be a victory for these parliamentarians.

"Master, don't be careless. You must be careful." Xiang Nan saw this and advised, "Especially those clone soldiers. They only listen to the orders of the Republic, and it is Palpatine who gives them orders. You have to be careful that he will strike first."

"You said he would order the clone soldiers to attack the Jedi Knights? No way." Padmé, Master Windu, Master Yoda and others all thought that this statement was a bit ridiculous.

Although Palpatine has indeed been corrupted by power over the years and is no longer as democratic and upright as before, it would be too alarmist to say that he is going to attack the Jedi Knights.

"I'm just making a suggestion. I always believe that it never hurts to be careful. Especially on the battlefield, it's easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark, especially a bullet from the back, which is the most difficult to guard against." Xiang Nan said.

……

Master Yoda and Master Windu both nodded, and then they set out for Utapau for the final battle with the Independent Star Confederation.

Xiang Nan, Padmé and others watched them leave.

Two days later, news of victory arrived.

The Speaker of the Independent Confederacy, Count Dooku, and the Commander-in-Chief, General Grievous, were both defeated and beheaded.

Several major leaders of the Independent Star Confederation, including Governor Newt Gunray of the Trade Union, Chief Technology Officer Walter Tambor of the Technology Union, Leader Shu May of the Commercial Guild, Leader San Hill of the Interstellar Banking Union, and Leader Bogle of the Geonosians, were also found dead on Mustafar.

Thus, the Independent Interstellar Confederation came to an end and disappeared, which is good news worthy of universal celebration.

After all, the Clone Wars lasted for three years, nearly 30,000 star systems were turned into scorched earth, and more than 30 billion people were killed or injured. It was the most brutal war since the founding of the Galactic Republic.

Therefore, everyone hopes that the war can end as soon as possible and peace can be restored.

And now their wish has finally come true.

But before people had time to celebrate, two more pieces of bad news came.

First, Chancellor Palpatine issued Order Sixty-Six, alleging that the Jedi Knights were suspected of treason, and therefore ordered the abolition of the Jedi Knights and the arrest of Jedi Knights throughout the galaxy.

In fact, before issuing this order, he had already given orders to the clone troopers, asking them to take action against the Jedi Knights.

Despite Xiang Nan's reminder, the Jedi Knights were still not on guard against the clone troopers. As a result, a large number of Jedi Knights died at the hands of the clone troopers they had just fought side by side with.

The few survivors, including Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon Jinn, Master Windu, Master Yoda, etc., wanted to return to Coruscant to kill Palpatine, but they were labeled traitors by him.
