1088, The Despair Galactic Republic (Part 1)
Capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant.
Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic.
Master Windu walked quickly to this building, which has only three floors above ground and more than 50 underground floors, running through the interior of the huge building on the first and second floors of Coruscant. He walked quickly, and the machinery installed on his abdomen and spine
The component made a rhythmic whine as he moved.
This place that is already very busy on weekdays is now even more crowded. There are at least a million people here performing their duties, directing the battles in every theater and even every planet in the entire galaxy. The conventional defense level of this place
It is the tallest on the entire planet, even taller than the Capitol Building of the Republic.
The reason why it is said to be routine is that although the Jedi Temple does not have any military defense, its actual defense power far exceeds any military force.
Not long after entering the headquarters building, several senior generals walked over quickly, gave Master Windu a military salute, and said eagerly: "General Windu, Speaker Palpatine are waiting in the conference room."
The Prime Minister of Minoan Planet Rama-Su is also here."
Hearing Palpatine's name, Master Windu frowned slightly, but he still nodded and walked in.
Arriving at the conference room, a large number of red flashes were marked on the huge Milky Way star map in the center. These were areas where battles were breaking out in the Milky Way.
It can be clearly seen that the red flashes are most dense in the western, northern and relatively central positions of the Milky Way. Of course, these are just the terms southeast, northwest and northwest on the flat star map, and cannot be represented on this spherical hologram.
To separate the directions, we can only use customary names.
Master Windu stopped in front of the holographic star map and watched, silent.
"The battle in the Eriadu system and surrounding systems, the battle in the Antar-Dron system, and... the ever-expanding geth problem." Palpatine's voice came from behind Master Windu, "This has already happened
It is now the most serious problem of our republic and has affected the life and death of our republic."
Master Windu turned around and stared at Palpatine's eyes. The red-light electronic eye on the left adjusted the focus, but he only saw a calm, and could not feel any mania belonging to the dark side at all.
Even now that he had obtained the information that Palpatine might be the Sith Lord, he could not see any clues from Palpatine.
This even made him once again doubt the authenticity of the news.
But Master Yoda is indeed right. There is really nothing that can be done directly against Palpatine now, and judging from the current situation, the possibility of a second Sith Lord is indeed very high.
In addition to the previously identified Death Angel and his apprentice Darth Lilim, there should indeed be someone else who trained Darth Maul and Count Dooku.
Darth Sidious...Master Windu continued to stare into Palpatine's eyes and asked slowly, "So, what do you think? Mr. Speaker."
"Oh, this is not like your style, Master Windu. Hahahaha..." Palpatine smiled bitterly, turned to the Kaminoan Prime Minister Rama-Su and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, you
Let’s first talk about the current situation on Kamino Planet.”
Rama-Su nodded and said: "As I reported before, the planet Kamino suffered heavy losses in this separatist raid. Nearly a quarter of the capital Tipoca City was destroyed. In addition,
In addition, three other cities were severely damaged, with more than 4 million casualties. Even now, there are still an unknown number of separatist Trident-class amphibious landing ships and A-Q series underwater robots in the ocean.
Complete annihilation.”
"This level of casualties has profoundly shaken my approval rating. Basically, I have determined that I will not be able to be re-elected as prime minister." Rama-Su paused, then said calmly, "In addition, the clone troopers also suffered heavy losses.
, according to statistics, 170,000 clone training soldiers and underage clones died in the battle, which means that the next batch of clone soldiers we can provide to the Republic is only 4,000."
Master Windu shook his head, "This cannot meet the needs of the war situation at all."
"This is a huge crisis, Master Windu." Palpatine said with a long sigh, "To be honest, I am very frustrated. I don't even know how to continue the war. Could it be that... we really can only fight with
The Separatists make peace and then admit the existence of the so-called Confederacy of Independent Systems they founded?"
Rama-Su ignored them. The Kaminoans had almost no emotions. He just continued to report: "Then for the clone factory, according to the instructions of Master Seve Dias, the first batch was produced 12 years ago.
The factories built and the second-generation factories that have been continuously expanded in recent years were almost completely destroyed, and production capacity was completely lost. The human cloning embryo bank was also destroyed. Of the 40 million embryos, only close to 17 million could be rescued. This left
The embryos must also be examined to determine whether a bad fetus will result."
He clicked on the hologram, and a section of a huge undersea building appeared on it, "This is the third-generation cloning factory built according to the Arms Update Act. In fact, this factory started construction last year.
, the construction funds are guaranteed by the finance of the Galactic Republic. Therefore, after the "Arms Renewal Act" was officially passed three months ago, the factory can be put into production immediately. In order to meet the needs of the war, the third-generation clones were set up to be able to
It matures within a year, but its entire lifespan is only 5 to 10 years."
"The third-generation clone factory was built on the seabed and had a very strong protective layer, so it survived the separatist attack. The third-generation factory can continue to produce after simple repairs, but the output
After all, it cannot be compared with the larger first- and second-generation factories.”
After Rama-Su finished speaking, he turned to Master Windu, "Furthermore, the DNA data has been stolen. Through reverse engineering, the Separatists should be able to master our modifications to the DNA original body and respond accordingly. In other words, we will do the following
In the war, it is very likely that we will face targeted genetic weapons specifically designed to kill clone soldiers."
Palpatine shook his head and said to Master Windu: "So you asked me what I think... Master Windu, my idea is... I have no idea. Without the clone army, we will lose this war.
"
Master Windu completely did not expect that these words would actually come from Palpatine's mouth, which in turn blocked any response he wanted to make, because in this case, he
You will not be able to test Palpatine in any way, you can only follow his wishes.
Palpatine, or Darth Sidious, simply retreated in order to advance, putting Master Windu in a very contradictory situation.
