'Waste!! ’

An angry roar rang out in the palace that originally belonged to Queen Naboo......

However, it was of no use other than causing a few of the B1 battle droids standing guard outside to stare at each other and causing a small commotion.

After all, the Governor of the Trade Alliance still failed to fulfill the instructions of the big man above them, because ah, the 'unarmed' Naboo Royal Starship, the small starship with its shiny chrome shell and a total length of no more than seventy-six meters, the small wrecked ship that was already in their bag and the meat on the board, it still managed to escape with the important people in it.

If this kind of thing gets out, it must be the biggest joke of the year in the Galactic Republic, right? After all, it is indeed a bit unreasonable for an entire trade alliance fleet to let the other side escape from the siege without a diplomatic visit sightseeing boat.

Of course, it's useless to say anything now, because their pursuers have run away after all......

Relying on the superior speed, powerful shield and efficient heat dissipation function of the spacecraft, the opponent forced a high-speed forced landing into the atmosphere of Naboo, directly throwing their fighters and the subsequent pursuit and encirclement troops far away, and when the air force of their trade alliance landed at the opponent's forced landing point, they got nothing but 'captured' an empty and almost exhausted 'Naboo Royal Starship'.

Although, in the eyes of Governor Newt Gunley, Nabu Star has been completely controlled by their army of robots, by their cheap B1 battle robots that have been piled up with countless amounts of money, and millions of dollars! Under their continuous search, the stupid woman who ran back to Naboo by her own death, the Queen Padmé Amidala will always be captured by their army sooner or later, there is no doubt about it, because now this planet is in fact part of their trade alliance!

But......

It's a pity that after capturing the other party, they really don't have a particularly good way to capture each other...... Because, the damn planet of Naboo, the environment above it is too primitive and complicated!

The swamps, lakes, hills, primeval forests, and all sorts of wild animals, as well as the Gangen natives, etc., the heat source from their damn things seriously interfered with their search for the 'suspects'!

And add to that the two damn Jedi Knight in that guy, the other party seems to have used the Force or some kind of equipment to create some kind of energy field that can interfere with the detection of heat sources, which seriously hinders the scanning of the Trade Alliance's spacecraft in space and the near-Earth reconnaissance aircraft, so that so far, the air has the advantage of ground and air, even if the trade alliance that has completely occupied the entire planet, can only cry out in vain, and completely do not know how to catch a handful of targets from a large primeval jungle full of various natives and wild animals……

And

What worries the Trade Governor Newt Gunley even more is that the enemy has disappeared for three days after landing, and although their excellent Nemoidian commander has set up an encirclement within a 300-mile radius of his landing site on the day of the enemy's forced landing on Naboo, it has no effect!

Because, the encirclement is not tight, and this damn planet is a planet with no molten core, and its surface is actually a conglomeration of huge rock bodies, and the endless network of caves and tunnels scattered inside the rocks makes it possible for the planet's surface to penetrate deep into the structure of the planet, just as they have a hard time figuring out the cities and complex underwater transportation networks that the damned Gangens hide in the deep underground waters?

So, in fact, Trade Governor Newt Gunley himself knows that in the current interstellar age of completely portable submarine and breathing equipment, the encirclement and search circle they organized on the ground does not seem to make much sense, and the enemy has too many ways to get rid of their waste robots!

But there is no way, whether it is for themselves, or for the big man behind them who is a little angry after knowing the truth, that Queen Padmé Amidala and the little girl in the opposing team must be caught as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid that their future situation will definitely not be too good.

This is not?

On the third day of the manhunt, after being searched inside and out countless times inside and out of the huge encirclement by a large number of B1 combat robots and robotic starfighters, the Nemoidian commander finally returned to the queen's palace in Side City in despair and declared the search a failure.

And this is the reason for the angry roar that just came out of the palace......

"Rubbish!"

"Rubbish! You're all a bunch of shit!! ”

Boom!!

Of course, in a fit of frustration and rage, Newt Gunley, the governor of the Trade Alliance, angrily threw an unknown instrument in front of him, and then began to pace rapidly back and forth in the halls of the palace with trembling hands and feet, and began to rack his brains to think of a solution with the cunning heads of their Nemoidians.

'I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Governor......

'I swear, our robots have searched several times, and we have found nothing but a large number of wild animals and a few hapless Gangens we have caught......

The subordinates guessed that they must have escaped by diving through the underwater passage, and in that complex underground ocean water network world, we would not be able to block them even if we had 10 million combat robots. ’

'None of our cheap robots and weapons are suitable for underwater warfare......

The Nemoidian commander winced, and he said that he had really done his best!

However, the underground environment of this planet is really too complicated, and their combat robots have extremely limited actions and combat capabilities under the water without transportation equipment, and they may sink when they enter the water, so they did not order an all-round blockade of the underground 'seabed' at that time, so that the enemy could take advantage of the opportunity to easily escape from their encirclement through the underground.

“！！”

"Go! Let our warships in space dispatch more multi-functional or underwater transport boats and combat tools, and order the logistics department to immediately and urgently transform some multi-functional combat vehicles, you go and occupy or destroy all the underwater cities of the Gangen people for me as soon as possible, don't let any of them go, you must find them out for me from the bottom!! ”

Gritting his teeth, although the Governor himself knew that it was a bit impossible to capture those amphibious indigenous creatures from the underwater world of Naboo, after all, the interior of this planet has a full eighty-five percent of the water, which is completely a 'marine water world', and he also knows that there are more huge, terrifying and terrifying sea beasts on the planet......

However, in view of the fact that being able to catch the cunning woman Padmé Amidala and the little girl who followed each other were related to their own lives and futures, the Trade Governor Newt Gunley had no choice but to grit his teeth and order.

Because those Nabus are different from the amphibians of the Gangen, the other party will definitely not be able to live underwater for a long time, so they just need to quickly find out and occupy or destroy the underwater cities of those Gangen, one counts as one, as long as they all control the cities and tribes of those damn frog-like natives, so that Amidala has no way to survive underwater, they will have to re-emerge on the ground sooner or later.

When the time comes, it's the perfect time for them to recapture each other and force them to sign a 'legal' agreement! Moreover, in the past two days, the big man has really pushed them too hard, and under the strong pressure from the other party, they don't know how long they can last, so they have to work hard to change the status quo.

'But ......'

'Your Excellency the Governor, the underwater world is too complicated, the surface of this planet belongs to the Naboo people, but inside it is the indigenous Gangen people...... And how many tribes and how many undersea cities are there for those natives under the sea, we have not been able to reconnoiter and scan them all, and if we want to occupy them all, we will need too many troops......

'We ......'

However, before the Nemoidian commander could finish his words of persuasion, he was severely scolded back by the trade governor!

"Idiot!!"

"If the number of troops is not enough, it will be dispatched from the warships in the universe, if 10 million is not enough, it will be 20 million, and if 20 million is not enough, it will be 100 million or 1 billion!"

"If you really don't have one, hurry up and place an order with Bucktoyd Combat Robot Company, those damn B1 combat robots are not as expensive as the cheap E-5 blaster rifle they hold in their hands, and you can get dozens of robots by cutting down a few primeval trees on Naboo, what are you worried about?!"

"No, it's a lot of money to sell those Naboo! What are you still doing here, don't you give me a hurry up and execute?! ”

Shrouded in the fear of defeat, the trade governor Newt Gunley was now unable to care about anything, and he was like a gambler who was about to lose his bet, and he did not hesitate to pile all his chips on the Knab star in order to finally turn the tables around.

Although judging from the current form, the stupid woman Amidala who ran back to Nabu didn't seem to have the slightest chance of being able to defeat him, except for making him a little helpless?

However, I don't know why, judging from the increasingly stern tone of that big man Darth Sidious in the past two days, it seems that neither their trade alliance nor the other party's situation is not good? It seems that as time goes on, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them? Although he didn't know why, he thought it was better to do what the big man had told him, and it would be better to catch the queen and the little girl quickly?

"Stop!!"

"In addition to what I just said, I need you to do one thing......

Suddenly, the Governor of Trade, who had been a little at a loss, suddenly thought of a good idea!

So, after a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth, beckoned back to the Nemoidian commander who was about to run out in disarray and do what he had just commanded, and leaned into the other man's ear and whispered something.

'This, this, this ......'

'Your Excellency the Governor...... Are you—Are you really sure? If we do that, once we are held accountable in the future, we will be all done!! ’

The Nemoidian commander said with some trepidation, completely unable to believe that the cowardly governor in front of him, who was usually only a little greedy, dared to do that, he just thought that the other party was just talking angry.

"I can't care so much anymore, we have to force them out at all costs, and the sooner the better! Trust me, we may really be running out of time......"

"Otherwise......"

"Humph! Go quickly, anyway, our invasion of Nabu is already an established fact, and we will definitely not be better if there is an accident in the future! And I can hear that the adult himself seems to have some problems, and his promise can't be too much faith now, we have to think more about ourselves first, and now there is no other choice!! ”

"Go ahead! Act fast!! ”

The trade governor's hideous, ugly green face struggled for a moment, and finally, the big red eyes on it began to flash a hint of hideousness.

'Yes......'

Seeing that the governor had made up his mind, the Nemoidian commander hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and bowed his head before hurrying away in frustration.

———————————

When Padmé Amidala, the queen of Naboo, two Jedi knights, and a little girl Führer rushed to the ground of Naboo and disappeared for three whole days, and at the same time caused the trade alliance to be extremely anxious, far away in the heart of the Galactic Republic, in the giant steel-domed mushroom-shaped hall of the parliament building on the capital planet Coruscant, one thousand and twenty-five anti-gravity seat platforms, one thousand and twenty-five parliamentarians and representatives, and their aides have now gathered in this solemn hall to prepare for the notarization of the results of the vote for the new Supreme Speaker of the Galactic Republic, which will be produced today.

'Hey! Did you hear that? It is said that in this election, the old guy Palpatine has a lot of votes!! ’

'Really? ’

'Of course! I know that a lot of people are supporting him, at least a third or more, and the old guy may have really gotten his wish this time. ’

Not necessarily, but Bell Andrés of Odlan is also very advantageous, and many lawmakers choose to support him! ’

'Humph! It is said that Amway Thiem of Marasdale has the support of the Trade Federation and the accomplices they have bought, and they have a lot of votes! ’

'Who did you listen to, this is fake news, right?' ’

‘……’

But I still think that old fellow Palpatine has a better chance of winning. It's said that he has secret ballots, and I always think that Naboo's affairs are not simple, as if someone deliberately blocked the passage of that resolution in Parliament, maybe it was the old guy himself? ’

'Tsk! Be careful what you say, and don't talk nonsense without evidence......

If there is evidence, it is not as simple as nonsense! ’

'Humph! ’

'Alas......'

'Hey! I advise you not to think about it, this Nabu Star incident is actually well known to many people, otherwise the Supreme Speaker would not have been forced to step down...... However, the Trade Alliance's siege and invasion of Nabu should be a fact, and now I'm afraid that many people are sympathetic to Naboo's situation, and there are also many people who want to give the Trade Alliance a little color, so in general, it is Councilor Palpatine who has the highest chance of winning! ’

'I think it's ...... too'

But it seems that the former speaker of the House of Representatives, Finnis Valoren, is also running, although he has some criticism, but he also has a lot of connections, after all, there are many people who were against voting no confidence in the first place, what do you think? ’

'It's useless, that's just a very few, in the records of the republic, there has never been a speaker who can be re-elected after stepping down, not a single one......

'Also ......'

'Guys, I still think Palpatine should be sure! ’

'No! Amway Tim should not have a shortage of votes! ’

‘……’

Before the results of the vote were announced, the bored parliamentarians naturally discussed aloud with the nearest parliamentarians in groups of three or five, making the huge parliamentary dome hall look like a vegetable market.

“……”

Obviously, it is not difficult to guess from the behavior of a little girl who was able to tease the queen of other people's families that the parliamentary seat platform of Nabu Star and the parliamentary seat platform of the Hero Federation must be side by side, so now, Shiv Palpatine, the member of the Council of Nabu Star and the candidate for the Supreme Speaker of the Parliament, can frequently pay attention to Nova of the Hero Federation who is not far from him, and the former 'Supreme Speaker' Finnis Valoren standing beside each other.

“……”

"Councillor Nova, you seem to be confident in the outcome of today's vote?!"

Finally, before the Presidium of the Council counted the votes and announced the results, Councillor Palpatine gritted his teeth, couldn't help but put away that sinister look, and looked at the young woman in battle armor to the right of his seat platform for a long time before he had to open his mouth and ask in a friendly manner.

Although the statistical results have not come out now, he has vaguely known some information from some channels, and he can roughly count how many votes that damn Nova got by 'legal' or 'illegal' means! It is no exaggeration to say that the biggest obstacle that has made him successfully become the supreme speaker of the new Galactic Republic at present is the hateful woman next to him!

"Of course!"

"What else can I say, because the candidate we support is really the best, he has a lot of experience in how to be a good Speaker, unlike you rookie candidates, I think he has a very strong advantage!"

After a triumphant grin at the Naboo MP to her left, Nova turned to the former Supreme Speaker next to her, Finnis Valoren, and motioned for him to say a few words to his rival while there was still time to do so.

"Hello, Your Excellency Councillor Palpatine!"

"I'm glad to be running with you again at the same time, and I'm sorry that you lost the election last time......

Knowing that he would lose the Speaker's throne and become one of the few deposed Supreme Speakers in the history of the Republic who was inseparable from the other party, Phoenix Valoren would definitely not give too much face to the rival and framer in front of him, so he directly said a few words to the other party with such a sneer.

The other party is obviously a member of the parliament of Naboo, but he does not want to repay the other party's own country, but instead uses the trade alliance to besiege Naboo Star against himself, the kind of despicable behavior that he disregards his own country for the sake of rights is what he Phoenix Valoren despises, so he is ready to completely draw a line with the other party, and decided that no matter what the outcome of this election is, he will not have any kind of interaction with the other party.

“……”

After looking deeply at the arrogant former speaker for a while, and finding that the other party had no desire to continue talking to him, Palpatine could only look at the 'temporary' high-ranking councillor Nova again:

"Ahem......"

"Congressman Nova, I don't understand, what's the point of you supporting a former councillor who has been deposed? No one will vote for him, and your approach is doomed to be futile, otherwise he would not have been removed in the first place. ”

Although, Palpatine tried to pretend that he was very confident, but his attitude and words seemed to have betrayed his thoughts, and it was obvious that he was also very worried now, because some things seemed to have been unexpected to him, and he had no way of controlling the outcome of this vote, which was not good for him!

Therefore, he can only rely on this kind of derogatory words to give himself a little more confidence, and hope to be able to obtain useful information from some unintentional words of the other party, so that he can help himself more at this last moment?

You know, he has paid too much for this opportunity, and once things really change, he will never have another chance.

"Of course it makes sense!"

"Because we've never had the option of 'failing', I mean, if you don't believe me, look at my face, it really doesn't have the hysteria of being about to face defeat like yours, am I right? Your Excellency Congressman Palpatine? ”

Nova didn't explain, just stretched out her hand and pointed at her handsome face, which was still smiling coquettishly, and then threw a wink at the other party playfully, obviously not taking the other party's words to heart at all.

"Humph!!"

Seeing that the other party refused to reveal more, Councillor Palpatine could only snort coldly, and then turned his head directly, ready to wait for the presidium on the speaker's platform in the middle of the parliamentary dome to announce the results.

Now, even if things change, there is no other better way for him Palpatine to change it, but he believes that the balance of victory is still on his side, because he has the magic weapon of victory!

‘……’

'Silence!! ’

Finally, a few minutes after Palpatine and Nova had finished their non-speculative conversation, the representative of the Presidium, the alien of the organization with horns on his head and neck, finally stood up at the Speaker's platform, and with a loud shout, the originally noisy council was instantly silenced.

Now, let's announce the final voting results! ’

'First of all, Congressman Bel Andrés from Odlan Star, whose vote is ......'

'One hundred and forty-four votes, accounting for 14.05% ......'

‘！！ ’

That's it, I'm going to say he doesn't have a chance, right? ’

'Hah! That guy is out of play, less than a quarter, completely cold! ’

'Hey! ’

'How is that possible? ’

'No, I've calculated his approval rating, and he shouldn't have such a low ......'

Soon, as the first candidate, Congressman Bel Andrés of Odlan, was counted, the members of Parliament present were in an uproar.

‘！！ ’

'Silence!! ’

Another loud cheer rang out, and then the council soon fell silent again, for the MPs knew that the results of the next three MPs were to be announced, and that it was indeed a little too early for them to discuss it.

'Below, is the second candidate, MP Amway Thiem from Marasdale Star, whose vote is ......'

'233 sheets, accounting for 22.73% ......'

‘……’

After reading it, the members of the Presidium of the Parliament, who had horns on their necks and heads, saw that the members did not make a fuss, and then nodded with satisfaction, and began to announce again:

'The third candidate, Senator Shiv Palpatine from Nabu Star, has a ...... vote'

'Three hundred and twenty votes, accounting for 31.22%! ’

'The fourth candidate, Mr. Phoenix Valoren, former Speaker of Parliament, has ...... votes'

'328 votes, 32%!! ’

To sum up, according to the results of the voting of the Supreme Speaker of the Galactic Republic, the Supreme Speaker is elected by Mr. Phoenix Valoren!! ’

As if fearing that the deputies would have to interrupt their reading, the alien representative of the Presidium read out the result in a swift tone that surprised and comical him!

In his opinion, after the former speaker of the House of Representatives was deposed, he ran for election again and was re-elected, this kind of thing must really be the first new thing since the establishment of the republic, right? Can he imagine that this news, in the next few years, will definitely become one of the hottest topics on the planet Coruscant, and may even occupy the hot search list for a long time?

‘……’

‘……’

However, unexpectedly, the whole parliament was strangely quiet, and there was no commotion, as if the parliamentarians were a little unconvinced of this result, so that they didn't know what to say to each other.

"I'm against it!!"

Finally, a voice erupted, and the platform that belonged to Naboo slowly flew towards the Presidium and Speaker platform in the middle.

‘……’

'Congressman Palpatine, please state the reasons for your objection, and remember, you only have one chance to speak!' ’

The officer who was just about to declare the results of the ballot accurate and duly in force could not help but warn in a tone of thin anger when he saw Palpatine rushing forward without consent.

'Gentlemen of the Bureau! ’

"According to the sacred law of the Republic, the candidate with the second largest number of votes shall be elected the Supreme Speaker if the difference in the number of votes is not more than 10 per cent, even if the vote is still first!"

"So I protest against the results you have just announced, and hope that the Presidium will declare me the rightful Supreme Speaker!!"

The voice of the Elder belonging to Councillor Palpatine rang out angrily in the council, and finally detonated again the councillors who had just been shocked by the comical result.

Crash!

The cacophony of noise rang out again......

Yes, there is such a law! ’

'Scared me to death, I thought the former Speaker was elected again, wasn't that a joke?' ’

'It seems that Palpatine's conspiracy has succeeded......

'Poor former Speaker, there is no way he could not have known such a thing. ’

'Alas......'

'Hahaha! After all, it was our Mr. Palpatine who was elected!! ’

'Long live Speaker Palpatine! ’

'Long live Speaker Palpatine!!' ’

'Long live Speaker Palpatine......

‘……’

‘！！ ’

'Silence!! ’

There was another loud shout, and the representative of the Presidium once again tried to silence the voices of some of the deputies who were making a noise.

'Congressman Palpatine's protest just now is justified! ’

'However, given that Queen Padmé Amidala, who initiated the vote of no confidence, re-voted his ballot in the hands of Mr. Finnis Valoren......

'Therefore, on behalf of the Presidium of the Parliament of the Galactic Republic and the Constitution of the Holy Republic, I hereby declare that the results of the ballot papers of Mr. Finnis Valoren are valid and valid, and I invite Mr. Finnis Valoren to participate in the inauguration ceremony in the Supreme Court of the Republic in three days!) ’

Finally, after reading out the decision of the Presidium in one breath, the campaign that had lasted for several days was finally declared over as the horned alien smashed the gavel of the Assembly of the Republic, which represented power and law in his hand.

‘……’

'How so?' ’

'Isn't that a joke?' How could that Phoenix Valoren be re-elected? ’

'Crazy, what the hell is that Naboo woman up to, what does she think of our members of parliament, a bunch of fools?!' ’

'I protest! I'm ...... resist'

This is the biggest joke of the Republic in all these years, and I am afraid that everyone here will become a laughing stock! ’

'Votes should be invalid! We protest! Should re-vote!! ’

'No ......'

'Damn, it's all messed up!!' ’

Looks like we've all been tricked by that woman!" But I don't understand, what the hell was going on in the young queen's mind? What's in it for her?! ’

'I don't know ......'

'Humph! What is this?! ’

Soon, as the election ended, the unrestrained parliamentarians began to make a fuss in the halls of the parliament.

But what they didn't know was that after getting the result, a sneering woman had already left the room with their new Speaker, much to the chagrin of some of the councillors who were ready to talk, wrap up, or flatter......
