Sheev Palpatine's voice was as melodious as a hymn. He praised the glory of the powerful Jedi Order at the peak of the Republic, and then the style of his painting suddenly changed...
He slowly put down his hand, "But when did the Jedi Order become such a cowardly organization? They uphold peace, but turn a blind eye to the obvious war. Battle of Galidran, Stark Hyperspace
Which war has not put the Republic through an undue crisis? Master Yoda is a respectable elder, and I believe he will not stand idly by in this critical moment."
Finis Valorum's eyes gradually became firmer, and he nodded and said, "That's true. Facing the danger of the Republic, the Jedi Order cannot stand idly by. I will go find Master Yoda myself."
Palpatine bowed deeply and said slowly: "I will also mobilize my own connections to help."
…
Coruscant, above the Jedi Temple, on the top floor of the right one of the five towers.
The Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, Finis Valorum, walked out of the shuttle accompanied by his entourage. Dozens of apprentices lined up on both sides, led by Jedi Master Mace Windu, to greet him.
Master Windu was wearing a coarse robe with a calm face. He bowed deeply and then said: "I believe that the Speaker is here for the dispute on the planet Malastar. Please come in, Master Yoda is waiting for you in the conference room.
"
Finis Valorum nodded, motioned to the guards behind him to wait by the shuttle, and walked into the Jedi Temple alone.
Master Windu accompanied Valorum throughout the whole process, but did not speak. He accompanied Valorum into the conference room, where only a short green figure was waiting. Master Windu bowed to Valorum again, then stepped back and left the conference room.
"A little more casual, just the two of us." Master Yoda turned around, bowed slightly, and then made a gesture of invitation to the sofa next to him.
Speaker Valorum sat down on the sofa. He thought for a moment and was about to speak, but Master Yoda beat him to it.
"It's not peaceful in this galaxy, huh?" Master Yoda said with a smile.
Valoran sighed, "Indeed, the disputes in all aspects are getting more and more intense, which makes us exhausted."
"The power of the dark side is about to move. I can feel it from my premonition." Master Yoda said, "There is an evil shadow, behind those abnormal things."
"I don't think this is a illusory issue like the dark side, but a real conflict of interests and class conflict," Valoran said.
"You shouldn't come to me, if it's a matter of interests." Master Yoda shook his head, "Your arrival is guided by the Force."
"I came not for the Force, but for the problems of the planet Malastar." Valoran said.
"What do you want us to do?" Master Yoda asked knowingly.
"I hope that the Jedi Order can come forward to resolve the dispute on the planet Malastar. This farce cannot continue any longer. If the Corporate Alliance succeeds, other large corporations will follow suit. In this way, the Republic may be forever
Losing the right to rule the Outer Rim Sector." Valoran seized the opportunity and said in one breath.
"We have sent out mediators." Master Yoda shook his head and said, "We will not intervene in commercial disputes."
Valoran stood up suddenly and said loudly: "But this is a matter related to the state of the Republic! If those business giants are allowed to override the Republic, then the demise of the Republic is just around the corner! Faced with such a thing, how can the Jedi Order
Being able to stand back and watch!”
He wanted to say something more, but Master Yoda waved his hand gently, and Valoran suddenly felt a cool feeling coming from the bottom of his heart, as if a bucket of ice water had been showered on him in the hot summer.
People feel relaxed and happy.
"The power of the dark side is behind it, I said it." Master Yoda said: "There is the power of the dark side in everyone's heart. To fight against it, we all need it."
Chancellor Valorum turned from worry to joy, "So, the Jedi Order is willing to help?"
"Already on the way, Master Kep-she." Master Yoda said, "Re-evaluate the situation, she needs to."
"Is there only Master Kep-Axi? Then..."
"Continue to guide us, the Force." Master Yoda smiled slightly and stood up, bowed to Speaker Valorum, and then made an invitation gesture to the door again, "May the Force be with you."
…
"That's what happened, Master Dooku. I'm afraid that after this time, the Galactic Republic will face a period of turmoil..." Palpatine sighed and said to the two figures in the holographic projection.
One of them is a tall and energetic old man with gray beard and majestic appearance, Jedi Master Dooku. The other man's coarse robes are full of vicissitudes of life, and he has a short goatee and long hair in braids.
It is tied at the back of the head, and looking at the attire, it is obviously a Jedi knight.
"It seems that your judgment was correct before, Senator Palpatine. The galaxy is heading towards a war." Master Dooku said.
"This is what I am most worried about. With the failure of the Republic fleet this time, many people have seen another possibility - armed confrontation." Another Jedi Knight said.
"So we need to seriously consider this issue, Master Sifo-Dyas." Palpatine said in a deep voice, "The Galactic Republic needs a strong army."
"If necessary, I will do my best for this plan." Master Sifu Dias nodded in agreement.
"How to solve the problem of funding? And the Galactic Parliament will not agree to the motion to establish an army now, right?" Master Dooku said.
"Well, we have many people with lofty ideals, just like you two. The future of the Republic needs passionate heroes like you to protect it, not those high-ranking... officials sitting behind the office." Schiff
-Palpatine said.
Sifu Dias asked again: "So now, how will the dispute on the planet Marastal be resolved?"
"I believe that Chancellor Valorum has reached an agreement with Master Yoda at this time, and the Jedi Order will resolve this dispute. Just as it did during the Battle of Galederan," Palpatine said.
As soon as his words came out, Master Dooku's expression suddenly became ferocious. He gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, "Like the Battle of Galidran, did it complicate things and eventually turn into a massacre? And in
In that wrong battle, I lost my apprentice forever."
"But at least now, your other apprentice Qui-Gon Jinn is an excellent Jedi Master." Palpatine said with a smile.
"The corruption and dogma of the Jedi Order have once again complicated things! Since Master Yoda wants to intervene, he should have taken action long ago! Instead of letting the Republic fleet be almost completely destroyed before taking action! This is simply child's play!" Du
Master Ku said sharply.
"Master Yoda also has his own considerations. After all, our Jedi Order should not resort to force from the beginning. We wield the sword for peace, not for war." Sifu Dias has a different opinion.
Palpatine smiled and said: "Then, let us see how things develop, two masters."
