Fan Ke rubbed his forehead, took out a delicate metal box from the drawer, took a small piece of wood as big as a fingernail from it, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed it.
Then his breathing became heavy and his heartbeat began to speed up. After about half a minute, he opened his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Master Sass-Tin, I get a headache now when I hear Geth..."
"Refined Diesel bark..." Sas-Tin naturally recognized this thing. "With all due respect, Your Excellency Governor, no matter how much this kind of thing is promoted, it has no negative effects, but at least, once a person becomes dependent,
Then it’s hard to say anything. After all, this is still a spice.”
"I didn't want to do this in front of the Jedi, but I have been under too much pressure recently. In the past three months, we have lost 7 planets. According to preliminary statistics, the number of casualties has exceeded 100 million. Oh, by the way,
I had people refine this Diesel bark twice with the juice of Pease grass, diluting it by more than half, making it suitable for an old man like me to use," said Fan Ke.
"It is precisely because of this that I did not perform the duties of a Jedi Knight." Sass-Tin smiled. He was not a pedantic person, and he also understood how much pressure Governor Fan Ke was under in the current situation.
Of course, it would be difficult for anyone except a noble like him to afford the expense of refining the Diesel bark like Fan Ke did.
"Ah, then I have to thank you. Hahahaha..." Fan Ke also laughed.
It has to be said that a common enemy is the best catalyst for friendship. The raging geth gave them, a Jedi Knight and a noble, many common languages.
"What's the situation with the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army?" Saas-Tin asked again.
Fan Ke shook his head and said: "No, the Supreme Strategic Command rejected this plan. The main forces of the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army must still be invested in the counterattack plan. Their operational goal is to defeat the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Army
The group is separated from other separatist-controlled areas."
"The threat of the geth is right in front of us, but they are still thinking about this?" Sass-Tin frowned.
Fan Ke snorted coldly and said, "That's not all! The Supreme Strategic Command also requires us to cooperate with the actions of the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army to put enough pressure on the Interstellar Banking Association. And they also made it clear that we should do something about Mai.
Planet Kito attacks."
"This is simply ridiculous! There is a combined fleet of the Fourth Group and the Interstellar Banking Association stationed near the planet Mequito. Even under normal circumstances, we must be cautious when launching such a large-scale battle, not to mention that there are still Jie
The threat of Si is right next to you!" Sass-Tin said.
"What the Supreme Strategic Command said is that if necessary, we can lure the geth over and let them attack the planet Mequito," Fan Ke said.
"Inducing the geth to attack the planet Mequito?! Haven't those people thought about what kind of havoc this would cause?! The person who proposed this plan should be arrested immediately!
"Sass-Tin roared.
Fan Ke sighed, "There is some internal information, and...well, where did we say this? The plan to attack the planet Mejito is more like...a political request. The top brass of the Republic should want to
Take action against the Interstellar Banking Association."
"The Interstellar Banking Association has been trying to please both sides between the Republic and the Separatists! It is necessary to attack them! But this does not mean that we should ignore the strategic plan of the entire northern territory, nor does it mean that we should induce
The geth come to carry out a massacre!
"Sas-Tin said loudly.
"This matter, I got some information from some personal connections...this meaning comes from a higher level." Fan Ke said pointedly.
"Higher level?" Sass-Tin wanted to say something else, but his expression suddenly changed.
There are many higher-level entities than the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic that can be counted on one hand.
Although he has been fighting in the northern region recently, as a member of the Twelve Supreme Council of the Jedi Order, he naturally knows many secrets that ordinary Jedi cannot access.
For example, he knew that just recently, the Jedi Order had secretly increased their monitoring of the Republic Parliament. The Jedi Order would send people to attend almost every parliamentary meeting.
And since the Republic Assembly passed a resolution and agreed that the Republic fleet can conduct limited orbital bombing of targets with the permission of the Jedi, the Jedi have also adopted a tit-for-tat strategy - they have begun to monitor them more closely.
Every Republic fleet will strictly review every decision made by the Republic fleet commander, and when necessary, directly exercise the power of the Jedi to veto the fleet commander's decision with one vote.
On the surface, this seems to be more arbitrary and seems to go against the purpose of the Jedi Order, but in fact, this has reduced the number of Republic fleet commanders who would take some extraordinary actions.
Of course, fundamentally, this is indeed against the purpose of the Jedi Order.
Although Sars-Tin has not yet understood some of the reasons behind it, it is obvious that this is a game between the Republic Council and the Jedi Order, and from the current point of view, there may be no winner in this game...
And now, Saas-Tin once again heard some instructions from higher-ups from Fan Ke, inducing the geth to attack the planet Mejito? If this is really what the top leaders of the Republic Council meant, are these people crazy?!
"This is impossible... If we really do this, we will all be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!" Saas-Tin said in a deep voice.
"Personally, I very much agree with what you mean, Master Sars-Tin. But the dilemma that our Eighth Army is facing now, if it cannot be solved, will let the northern border fall into the hands of the separatists or even be attacked by the Geths."
If we are massacred, we will also be nailed to the pillar of shame in history." Fan Ke said.
"The next co-chair election of the Interstellar Banking Association will be held in the second half of this year. And the situation behind this election may be more complicated than we imagined..." Fan Ke lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of someone eavesdropping, although
This is impossible. "Within the Interstellar Banking Association, the conflict between the planet Mulinster and the planet Scipio has become very intensified, and it is likely to completely break out during this election..."
"Then what does this have to do with the planet Mequito?" Sass-Tin asked with a frown.
"Because the planet Mequito is also the headquarters of the Fourth Group. And you should also know that although the Fourth Group has not stated it explicitly, Gross-Shelbia is almost certainly on the side of the separatists...
Under such circumstances, let us attack the planet Mequito to put pressure on them. There is no doubt that the Republic is ready to choose a side. At the same time, they are also forcing the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Group to choose a side..." Fan
Ke said.
Sas-Tin pondered: "But if this matter involves Geth, I think the background may be more complicated than we imagined... The 'higher level' you mentioned may look further..."
