The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1458 Sophistry and investigation

Shak-Ti had expected Palpatine's request, and she replied: "The Jedi Order agrees to the Galactic Republic's access to the library of the Jedi Temple, and we will also open up all political and military decision-making documents in which the Jedi Knights participate. for the investigation team to verify."

"Maybe I didn't make it very clear, so let me say it again..." Palpatine said coldly, "I'm talking about—a thorough investigation, which means that we will investigate the Jedi Temple Library, All materials including the archives."

"The Jedi Order has been engaged in the study of the Force for a long time, which is the exploration of the nature of the universe. Our research results have no obligation to hand over to the Galactic Republic." Shak-Ti said.

"The Galactic Republic will not ask the Jedi Order to hand over the research results. All we need is to confirm that these things will not pose a threat to the Galactic Republic, which is enough." Palpatine said.

"The Jedi Order sealed up all knowledge that might pose a threat to the Milky Way, and once this knowledge is made public, then this will really pose a threat." Shak-Ti began to feel a little bad in her heart.

"Don't worry, Master Shak-Ti. Our professionals naturally know how to measure. They will never let these things endanger the Galactic Republic." Palpatine said with a sneer.

Compared with Shak-Ti who repeatedly emphasized the safety of the galaxy, he emphasized the Galactic Republic inside and out, because as long as he grasped this point, the Jedi Order would be irreversible.

Hearing this, Shak-Ti also sneered, "Professionals? The Jedi Knights have studied the way of the Force for tens of thousands of years. In contrast, where are the professionals from the Galactic Republic?"

Palpatine didn't take it too seriously, and said with a smile: "Not everyone who is sensitive to the force belongs to the Jedi Order... And, if it really doesn't work, I think I'm quite professional."

Shak-Ti's face changed drastically, and she snapped: "Daying! So this is your idea, and you want to occupy the research results of the Jedi Order!"

Palpatine raised his left hand that had been replaced with a mechanical prosthesis, and said loudly: "I can swear that everything I do will not be detrimental to the Galactic Republic! I will dedicate everything to To the Galactic Republic, there will never be any private possessions! Even if the enemy's iron hooves set foot on Coruscant, the one who fights to the end will always be me!! On the other hand, I will leave us at the most difficult time of our war And go, what is the position of the Jedi Order, saying that you yourself will not be detrimental to the Galactic Republic?"

Shak-Ti said sharply: "This is absolutely impossible! The Jedi Order can swear by the Force and will never release any taboo research! It will never let this knowledge endanger the Milky Way! Naturally, it will never let a The Sith Lord has his hands!"

"Hehehehehehe..." Palpatine laughed darkly, "The oath of the Jedi Order...hehehehe, interesting, interesting! Well, since your Jedi Order has always claimed to be the guardian of the galaxy, then you must You should be able to get more support, right? In that case, let’s take this as the topic of our Galactic Council today, how about the vote?”

"You have already taken control of the parliament! Telling me to vote now is a conspiracy!" Shak-Ti said.

However, Schiff Palpatine looked at her with pity, and said: "I have given you a fair and open opportunity, Master Shak-Ti. I could have given the order directly through the emergency ruling power , because the researches that the Jedi Order has hidden have posed a threat to the existence of the Galactic Republic. However, even so, you still refuse such a vote. Why? Because you Jedi Order know that you have not got any Supported, yes?"

"Enough!" A voice sounded from the side, Naboo planet councilor Padmé Amidala stood up, pointed at Palpatine and said loudly: "The honor of the Jedi Order for tens of thousands of years is not something you can It is such a humiliation to be placed in the parliament! Every word of yours has a strong tendency! Even if the law does not stipulate that the Sith Lord cannot be the speaker, but you, as a force organization that is hostile to the Jedi Order, are not Should be involved in any decision related to the Jedi Order! If you want to talk about the Constitution, then this is what I want to tell you!"

Hearing Padmé's loud words, those members of parliament who were originally led by Palpatine, fearful and uneasy, and did not dare to have any public support for the Jedi Order, this time finally had a backbone, and they stood up one after another. Rise up and clamor for the Jedi Order.

"Silence! Silence!!" Standing next to Palpatine, Deputy Speaker Mas Almeda shouted loudly in his resonant voice.

After the surrounding voices were slightly reduced, Schiff Palpatine looked at Padmé coldly and said, "As Senator Amidala said, I should avoid it. But this matter will not change , A vote will be made on the investigation of the Jedi Order. Before that, every member of the Jedi Order is not allowed to leave the Jedi Temple."

After speaking, he controlled the anti-gravity platform to fly in the direction of his office, and after docking, he left without looking back.

And Shak-ti didn't say much, she also turned around and left with a gloomy face, leaving only the frying pan of the parliament.

At the same time, a large number of Spati clone soldiers swarmed in and surrounded the third and outer three floors of the Jedi Temple, not even a fly could fly out!

...

Northeast of the Milky Way, outer ring star region, Bandomeer planet (Bandomeer).

A powerful fleet consisting of hundreds of warships is stationed here, and this fleet includes a full 50 hunter-class battlecruisers! This is already equivalent to the size of a legion's main fleet!

However, for this fleet, this is less than a quarter of their total strength.

Galactic Republic, the main fleet of the Second Galaxy Army!

Bandomir planet is the most important agricultural and mining production area in the outer environment of Northeast China. Not only that, this planet is also an important traffic artery in Hydia's hyperspace channel.

This planet is also the gateway to Mandalore.

In the original plot, the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the Milky Way, and the Bandomir planet was the forward base where they assembled their fleet to attack the Mandalorian planet, which also showed the important position of the Bandomir planet.

And now, with the same target on Mandalorian, the main fleet of the Second Galaxy Army naturally chose this place as its base.

Through this planet, the Second Galaxy Army will be able to suppress the entire Neutral Galaxy Alliance, including the planet Mandalorian!
