Palpatine turned to look at Anakin's blank expression, and sneered secretly, but still said sincerely, "Yes, that's right... I became the Speaker of the Galactic Republic. Since taking office, I have punished corrupt officials and rectified them.
Institutions, further strengthening the authority of the Republic... I led the Republic to fight against separatism! I integrated every resource of the Republic, snatched these precious national properties from the mouths of those greedy corporate giants, and used them for the great cause of Galaxy System One...
…”
He suddenly grabbed the lapel of Anakin Skywalker's clothes, "So tell me, did I do something wrong? Even as a Sith Lord and in the position of Speaker of the Republic, did I do something wrong?"
Anakin Skywalker took a few steps back in panic and pulled back the skirt of his clothes. His lips moved, not knowing what to say.
But his expression revealed his inner thoughts - he did not think Palpatine was incompetent as Speaker of the Republic.
Palpatine showed a sneer that was not noticed by others. He lay back half on the sofa and whispered: "I don't think... I have done anything to regret the Galactic Republic. I have been doing it all my life.
One thing - to make the Republic a better place. You can criticize my methods, but you can never question my determination..."
"No... the siege of the planet Naboo was ordered by you!" Anakin Skywalker pointed out directly.
After Master Yoda left, everyone in the Jedi Order also read the information about Jax Pawan.
Palpatine's face became a little gloomy, and he said slowly: "I hate them!"
"You...hate...them?" Anakin was a little confused again.
"That's right!" Palpatine's expression looked angry, "I hate the authorities on the planet Naboo! In order to sell the plasma mines on the planet, they did not hesitate to eradicate anyone who stood in their way! My father, my mother... I
My whole family died in such a political struggle! I hate the Interstellar Banking Association even more! I hate the Trade Federation even more! It is because of their plundering and their manipulation that the planet Naboo has become so corrupt!
"
He gasped violently, his voice hoarse from overexertion, "So I devised this strategy! I used the plasma mine trade to drive a wedge between the Interstellar Banking Association and the former king of the planet Naboo, Alth Veruna. At that time
Even if the Battle of Naboo did not break out, the conflict between the two sides was already irreconcilable! Next, the planet Naboo was blocked, and my goal was achieved..."
He sighed, "Due to conflicts with the Interstellar Banking Association, the regime of Als-Veruna collapsed, and the new Queen Padmé Amidala terminated the plasma mine trade. At the same time, because of her participation in the blockade of the planet Naboo,
The Trade Federation has become the public enemy in the galaxy... Yes, I took revenge. Moreover, I also became the Speaker of the Republic, which also gave me the ability to realize the dream in my heart! This... is my plan...
"
After speaking, Palpatine smiled slightly, "Perhaps you didn't know at that time that the reason why Padmé, who was only 14 years old at the time, was able to defeat Als Veruna, who had ruled the planet Naboo for more than 30 years, became the leader of Naboo.
The Queen of the Planet, precisely because of my strong support. I like her very much, Anakin... Although her views are often different from mine, I always admire her. She is brave, fearless, righteous, intelligent, and...
Under her leadership, the planet Naboo got rid of the plasma mine trade, reached a peace agreement with the Gungans, and the government agencies became more transparent and efficient. She proved that I was right..."
Hearing this, Anakin Skywalker couldn't help but put down the lightsaber in his hand. Although the metal hilt was still in his hand, the blade had been put away. He knew that, at least on this point, Palpatine was not lying.
Because Padmé did tell him that it was Palpatine who gave her the greatest help when she was young.
It's just that he doesn't know that the best lies are often mixed with 99.9% of the truth... For example, Palpatine's only lie is the one he wrote lightly at the beginning... He
the goal of.
"This is my story as the Speaker of the Republic... Next..." Palpatine said, his voice suddenly became distorted and greasy, making people's hair stand on end. "It is the story of a Sith Lord..."
Anakin Skywalker only frowned when he heard this voice, but made no further hostile moves.
The test was successful, and an imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of Palpatine's mouth. He continued to use this distorted voice and said slowly, "My master, Darth Plagueis...he brought me from the planet Naboo.
Take him away and prepare to train me as his apprentice. You should know that the Sith Lords, starting from Darth Bane, have adopted the principle of two-person system, that is, in the galaxy, only two Sith can exist at the same time.
One master, one apprentice..."
"Darth Plagueis is the smartest person I have ever met. He is not keen on killing. On the contrary, he has been assassinated repeatedly because he is in the interest vortex of the Interstellar Banking Association. He has always carried
Respirator, because his jaw was completely cut off in an assassination that almost killed him." Darth Sidious said, "Darth Plagueis has two biggest wishes in his life.
, the first is to study the mystery of eternal life, and the second is to completely uncover the mystery of the Force."
"He has many unique insights into the Force and immortality. He believes that the Force is a trinity, infinite, soul and spirit... At the same time, he has his own unique explanation of the birth and death of the Force." Das
- Sidious said, "In terms of immortality, he could be said to be the most outstanding doctor in the entire galaxy at that time. Through the Force, he could even create life! Yes, his research on immortality lies in the Force of Life.
"
Darth Sidious smiled and said: "I didn't expect it, right? The dark side force, which is described by your Jedi Order as a demonic heretic, can actually heal injuries and create life! Between life and the dark side, there is a gap between life and the dark side.
There is not as big a gap as you think."
As he spoke, he looked at the ceiling and said: "So, if he is still alive, the injuries I have now are not a problem at all... He can heal me with a wave of his hand. This is exactly what I think, I think
To continue his research... As long as we can learn even a little bit about the Force of Life, maybe the people around us will not be troubled by injuries, maybe, we will not lose the people we love... But...
"
Darth Sidious's voice darkened, "He was killed... by his other apprentice, the Angel of Death!"
