Chapter 1239 The plan is advancing (guess why I want to drink sugar-free ==)

 The fact is just as Qui-Gon Jinn feared.

　　When they reported the existence of the Tribunal, many people in the Galactic Council immediately exploded.

“Such atrocious! Unforgivable! I think we must have a powerful fleet to prevent similar things from happening again!”

 “That’s right! The Galactic Parliament must have a strong armed force!”

Sitting in his seat, Obi-Wan was stunned as he listened to the impassioned speeches from representatives of various races. You know, just now his master explained to everyone in detail, including the purpose and strength of the Tribunal, and everything they did on Tatooine.

However, at the moment these people seem to have only heard the same two sentences: "The Tribunal massacred other non-human races" and "The Tribunal tried to lead humanity to break away from the Galactic Republic". It can even be said that they do not pay attention to the Tribunal at all, and are more using this incident as a breakthrough to force the passage of the Army Establishment Act!

 While listening to the speeches of these congressmen, Obi-Wan looked confused.

 Have you been listening to Master’s report? The Inquisition is very fierce! They are very powerful! And it’s extreme human supremacy! What on earth did you hear? Moreover, weren't we originally sent to Tatooine to investigate whether the former Chancellor had any relationship with the Inquisition? Why do you act like it doesn't matter whether the former speaker lives or lives?

Obi-Wan looked at the council members, and then at his master Qui-Gon Jinn, who was sitting there like an old monk in trance, as if the quarrel in front of him was none of his business.

 “Master…they…”

 Finally, Obi-Wan couldn't help but want to complain, but Qui-Gon Jinn just stretched out his hand to signal him to be silent, and then shook his head silently.

 “They just need an excuse.”

"that's all?"

Hearing Qui-Gon Jinn's answer, Obi-Wan couldn't help it. Of course he also knew that corruption was serious within the Galactic Parliament and bureaucracy was rampant, but he did not expect that it would reach this point! Logically speaking, they should at least go through the questioning process of the former speaker! At least this time they did not investigate any relationship between the Inquisition and the former Speaker.

Of course, it is a fact that people are too lazy to pay attention to them.

But you can’t just not mention it at all, just like it’s an established fact! It's not yet certain whether the former Speaker has anything to do with the Inquisition, and whether he ordered the destruction of the Trade Federation's fleet. How come you seem to accept this as fact and directly start advancing your own political agenda?

Is this still our Galactic Parliament? What about the process? What about procedural fairness? Where have they all gone?

The current Galactic Parliament has become so corrupt? For their own agenda, they don’t care about right and wrong, right?

Obi-Wan only felt a bad breath deep in his heart. He now understood why many races wanted to break away from the Galactic Parliament. Looking at the current appearance of the Galactic Parliament, they didn't even look like officials!

“Teacher, can’t we do something?”

 “The Jedi Council does not interfere in the affairs of the Council. This is the rule.”

"But………"

Hearing Qui-Gon Jinn's answer, Obi-Wan also gritted his teeth. Of course he knew that these were rules, and the Jedi guarded them as well. But... look at these politicians, which one of them still abides by the rules?

 In the end, things developed just as Qui-Gon Jinn expected. The Galactic Senate passed a bill granting emergency leadership to Chancellor Palpatine. Palpatine "reluctantly" finally accepted the decision and stated that he would immediately hand over the power in his hands after the separation crisis eased.

So soon, the Galactic Parliament passed a bill, authorizing the Galactic Republic to establish a powerful army to deal with the threat of separatists.

Fortunately, Palpatine was not as incompetent as other politicians. He also mentioned the issue about Tatooine at the end, saying that the situation there was complicated and that he would leave the matter to the Hutt representatives and let them Full discretion.

Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan were mentally prepared for this decision. After all, when they discussed it before, they felt that this was the only way the Galactic Parliament could do it. The Hutts are deeply intertwined within the Galactic Republic, which is why there was a slave trade on Tatooine and the Galactic Republic was unable to control it.

But the thought that the slaves who had regained their freedom would very likely suffer at the hands of the Hutts again made both of them feel uncomfortable. Although the Tribunal's approach was a bit cruel, they did save people - well, strictly speaking, the Tribunal saved the race they considered "human" and killed everyone else.

 The two of them were halfway through sighing and suddenly came back to their senses.

 Wait a minute, isn’t that right?

There seems to be something wrong with their thinking.

 The Hutts go to deal with the Inquisition?

Given the abilities of the Inquisition, why don’t we just extract the bones and skin of the Hutts?

The Hutts are also known to the two of them. Their appearance is a bit like large slugs. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, they are completely incompatible with the human race defined by the Inquisition. They are immediately executed on the spot when the Inquisition finds out. That kind! And with the strength of the Inquisition, if the Hutts really dare to attack Tatooine, it's not certain who will die!

　　　…………”

 The two looked at each other with strange expressions and were speechless.

"What should we do now, teacher?" "...Go back and rest, this is not the place we should be."

Qui-Gon Jinn was also tired, and he couldn't care less. Qui-Gon Jinn was unwilling to do what the Galactic Council did, but he had nothing to do. As for Tatooine, the Jedi cannot interfere. The Galactic Congress only cares about using the Inquisition as a cover to advance their own political agenda. The Jedi are also unable to interfere in the political affairs of the Galactic Congress.

What else can be done?

 Go home and sleep.

 The development of things will certainly not change because of the choices of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan.

When Palpatine announced that he would build a powerful army belonging to the Galactic Congress, the first to receive the news were naturally the separatist forces.

Of course, this news was actually spread by Palpatine deliberately through his apprentice Count Dooku. As expected, after learning that the Galactic Republic planned to form an army to deal with the separatist forces, they jumped to their feet.

 “We must not let the Parliament succeed! We must strike first!”

The leader of the Technology Union looks like a tin robot, and his words are as powerful as his appearance.

"Yes, we must let the Galactic Council understand our strength, so that they will be afraid."

Leaders of the banking industry also spoke.

They are all the leaders of this separatist force. The Technology Union has the technology, the banking industry has the money, and the Trade Alliance has the material support. It is the cooperation of these three parties that makes the separatist force gradually grow.

 “But what about the Inquisition?”

 Only the Governor of the Trade Alliance looked livid at the moment. The Inquisition overturned the Trade Federation's fleet and greatly damaged their strength. The Trade Federation has always wanted to take revenge, but could not find the opportunity. Now I started complaining immediately, for fear that others would not take me seriously.

 However, representatives of the other two parties did not pay any attention to the complaints of the Trade Alliance.

“It’s just a small separatist force, don’t worry about it at all.”

"Didn't I hear that the Galactic Council has asked the Hutts to deal with them? If they are targeted by the Hutts, the force called the Inquisition will peel off its skin even if it is not dead, and there is no need for us to take action."

"But………"

 “I know what you mean, Governor.”

Just when the Governor of the Trade Federation was about to say something, Count Dooku interrupted him at the right time.

"What the Tribunal did to the Trade Federation is indeed unforgivable. However, time is not on our side now. Chancellor Palpatine has signed the order, and the Galactic Parliament has begun preparations to build an army. Under this situation, we simply cannot There is no time to waste. We must strike first. As for the Tribunal, we can wait until our plan is over before dealing with them!"

 “That’s right, that’s right.”

At this time, representatives of the other two forces also responded. Count Dooku's words simply spoke to their hearts. They had been preparing for this uprising for a long time. Right now, they have enough battleships and an army of robots from the Trade Federation. If something happens now and the Galactic Council is caught off guard, they and others will be able to gain the upper hand.

And if they continue to delay time and wait until the Galactic Council actually forms an army, won't their preparations be in vain?

 Why should we fight a fair duel when we can obviously take the initiative? Something is wrong!

Seeing that others supported Count Dooku's opinion, the Governor of the Trade Alliance could only keep his mouth shut. After all, he also knew the priorities of the matter. Compared to their own major events, a mere tribunal is indeed insignificant. In fact, if the loss was not the Trade Federation fleet, then he also believed that it would be more appropriate to complete the uprising first and then deal with the Inquisition.

 But the problem is that what was lost was the fleet of their Trade Alliance!

The Governor of the Trade Alliance was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he thought of this.

 But there’s nothing I can do about it, I’m really angry!

At this moment, the Governor of the Trade Alliance also clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart.

 After taking out the Galactic Parliament, the next one is the Tribunal. I didn’t know where you were before, but now that I know, I will never let you go. Tatooine, right? When we finish taking care of the Galactic Council, we'll blow that place to pieces when we get back!
