41 Foolishness of the Jedi (2/2)
”Oh and before I forget when it comes to Intel if you dont have a constant feed then you are already a step behind. Case in point you had intelligence that Your three major targets where in the process of building an army correct?” Chancellor Valorum grow worried by what may come out of the Mand'lor mouth next.
”Well I have had my teams station in those systems for the past month and I can tell you not only is the army complete but so is there fleet as well. We are dealing with droids not people so the creation time for the machines is hours not years like flesh and blood. So I move to dismisse the jedi plan and instead use my plan. We keep the planned attacks on Geonosis, Cato Neimoidia, and Dathomir but instead of jedi leading we let veteran generals take command.
They will be able to make the quick decision needed to win battles, second rules of engagement should be changed to the total defeat of all enemy forces on the planet at what every the costs. Civilian casualties should be keep to a minimum and the preservation of our forces keep at the highest priority. We can not afford to take massive losses when our troops must be give atlest 18 years to mature.
Takings prisoners should be reserved for only high value targets, because we are fighting droids we can just take information from the fallen and scrape and armies that surrender. Oh and I was serious about glossing planets my people can do it and will, this is war if your are trying to play fair then you have already lost.”
With that Jack moved his platform back to its normal position. while the Senate chambers were completely silent. The Mand'lor had just dropped one of the biggest bomb shells that the Republic had ever heard. They had the ability to glass entire worlds and they were willing to do it. This was madness to some but to most it ment that if they crossed these New Mandalorians their was a good chance that after this war they could find their world glassed as well.
The jedi spoke first, ” The fact that have planet destroying weapons is a clear violation of the planetary protection act as such it falls on this Senate to vote to remove you from the Republic and strip you of the technology, as..” Before the jedi could even finish Keith spoke before Jack even had the chance.
”Remove us and you will be on your own for this war which suits us just fine we can fight and win on our own, but try and take something that does not belong to you jedi and we will burn you and your temple to ash. It will make the Second Sacking of Coruscant look like a bonfire in comparison you jedi fuck!”
Utter disbelief was plastered arcoss the jedi's face. It was not just his face either Chancellor Valorum had the same look as well. He knew if he did not do something he would likely lose the only true ally he had in the Senate.
”As the current Chancellor I believe only I have the ability to remove a respecting member of this body, and seeing how we are about to go to war I see nothing wrong with the New Mandalorians having and expanding arsenal. Especially if you consider how their planet was first take over by an invading force when they first entered the galactic stage. I move to vote on the Mand'lors plan.
Jack knew with this his plan was secured and began his exit from the chambers he would leave the rest to his Senator and his staff to finish any details. For now troops need to moved and his army on Kamino need to be activated. It would take weeks to get the Republic integrated with his own forces and his jedi order would need to show its face to the jedi on Coruscant.
