One of the members of the Supreme Council of the Jedi Order, the second most powerful person in the Jedi Order and the de facto most powerful person, Master Mace Windu's as serious face as ever appeared in the holographic projection.
"Sir Speaker, are you looking for me because of the matter on the planet Naboo?" Master Windu said.
Finis Valoran nodded, sighed and said: "I know there were many misunderstandings between us in the past, but now, I have no way to prevent the invasion of the Trade Federation. I hope the Jedi Order
You can take action to prompt the Trade Alliance to withdraw its troops."
Master Windu leaned back on the backrest and crossed his hands, "Does your request represent the Republic's parliament, or is it something else?"
"The Republic Council is out of control and it is impossible to react to this other than endless bickering. Therefore, this is my personal request." Valoran said.
"In other words, this is an illegal act." Master Windu said expressionlessly.
Finis Valorum was silent and just nodded slightly.
"In this case, I will send a special envoy. But it is not a formal act after all, so the number of people will not be too many. The candidates I have scheduled are Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anyway, they are also long-term
Violating various rules, you should be familiar with it." Master Windu smiled slightly.
"Thank you for your help, Master Windu." Finis Valorum finally showed a smile on his face.
"Putting aside the formal official relationship, I know who you are, Lord Valorum, and that's why I will help you. However, even if we send Qui-Gon Jinn as a special envoy, we still need a plan.
"Master Windu said.
"We can lie and claim that they are the envoys of the Republic and force them to withdraw. Newt Gunray, the governor of the Trade Federation, is a coward. As long as he is frightened, he will definitely retreat! With the prerequisite for their withdrawal, then
It will be easy for us to pass the resolution in the parliament." Finis Valoran said seriously.
"Then, it's decided." Master Windu nodded, "Please remember, Lord Valoran, only the two of us can know about this matter. No one else can know about this plan."
…
(Next is the opening of "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace.")
A Republic Consul-class cruiser broke away from the hyperspace channel and flew to the planet Naboo. The Consul-class cruiser is a special spacecraft for the Galactic Republic's envoys. This spacecraft is unarmed and is painted red to represent the authority of the Republic. It can be said that it belongs to the Republic.
represent.
On the periphery of the planet, a total of 60 huge Rookery Hook-class cargo ships are surrounding the planet tightly, blocking the way.
The captain of the Consul-class cruiser connected to the public channel communication and said: "This is the spacecraft of the Republic's special envoy, requesting entry to your flagship."
The figure of Newt Gunray, the Governor of the Trade Federation, appeared on the screen. He looked a little flustered and didn't know where to put his hands. "The Communist...Republic envoy? Of course you can board the ship. Welcome! Yes."
, Well, you must know that our blockade is legal, um, legal! So, you are welcome to board the ship!"
Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi on the spaceship looked at each other and said nothing.
The Consul-class cruiser was guided into the hangar of the flagship of the Trade Federation fleet. Seeing the densely packed B-1 combat robots and Vulture robot fighters in the hangar, Qui-Gon Jinn's heart kept sinking, "This is a team of
The army and the trade alliance came with the purpose of war from the beginning."
"Master, I don't think the Trade Federation has the guts to start a war." Obi-Wan Kenobi said.
"Let's wait and see when we see their governor." Qui-Gon Jinn nodded.
At the same time, in the flagship of the Trade Federation fleet, Newt Gunray circled anxiously, "No! Impossible! Why would the Republic send a special envoy here? That gentleman clearly told us that the Republic would not be able to make any response!"
"Then what should we do?" Newt Gunray's lieutenant Rune Harker and Trade Federation executive Doltaire Dauphin were also confused.
However, at the critical moment, Newt Gunray still looked more or less like a governor. He waved his hand and said: "Run Harkor! You quickly put pressure on the planet Naboo and prompt them before they get the news.
Surrender as soon as possible!"
"But...Doltay organized several raids before, but they were all killed by the guards of the planet Naboo! This has fueled the arrogance of the planet Naboo. I don't think they will surrender so easily..." Rune Harkou
Pointing at Dortey-Dauphin and starting to blame him.
"Go!!" Newt Gunray roared angrily. Rune Harkor was startled and ran away in a fit of piss.
But bad news came one after another. The ceremonial robot TC-14, which was responsible for welcoming the Republic's envoys, walked into the bridge and said: "Mr. Governor, we are visiting two Jedi Knights."
"Jedi Knight!!" Newt Gunray sat down on the ground in horror, "I...I actually invited the Jedi Knight to the bridge? No! No! Why would the Republic send Jedi Knights?!"
Dortai Dauphin on the side was also trembling with fear, "I knew something would go wrong! I knew it! The Jedi are coming! They will arrest us! Just like they did to the Inchori before!
"
Newt Gunray said quickly: "Go and talk to them about anything and hold them back! I'll go find Lord Sidious!"
"Are you out of your mind! Hold them back? Jedi Knight? No! I'm not going!" Doltai Dove was so frightened that he risked his life and actually contradicted Newt Gunray.
Pointing at the unclear etiquette robot on the side, he said: "Let the robot chat with them!!"
"If this is your wish, I will go and order drinks for the two envoys." The TC-14 etiquette robot received the instruction and turned around to leave.
The communication was connected, and the terrifying image of Darth Sidious appeared in the projection, "Newt Gunray! What are you still procrastinating about!"
Before Newt Gunray could speak, Doltai Dauphin came from the side and said: "Your plan failed! Lord Sidious. The Republic has sent Jedi Knights, and this blockade is over! We
It is absolutely impossible to disobey a Jedi!"
Sidious looked at Newt Gunray and said: "Governor, let this coward get out of here! I don't want to see him again!"
Daltai Dauphin, who was already stunned by fright, realized what a terrible thing he was doing. Without waiting for Newt Gunray to speak, he turned around and ran away in a mess.
Darth Sidious then said: "Although things have taken an unexpected turn, everything is still under our control! Send your robot army immediately and land on the planet Naboo! Occupy the entire territory!"
No matter how many excuses he used to numb himself, when the day came, Newt Gunray was still terrified, "But... it's illegal to send ground troops!"
"I will make this legal!" Sidious said harshly.
"That...but there are still two Jedi Knights on my flagship!" Newt Gunray felt weak when he thought of the legendary invincible figure of the Jedi Knights.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Darth Sidious's mouth, "I have blocked all official channels. The appearance of these two Jedi Knights is absolutely unofficial. They have no right to represent the Republic or to oppose
You do anything! Kill them!"
Newt Gunray looked at Darth Sidious, thought of his terrifying methods, and finally decided to take the risk. He nodded heavily and said: "Yes, sir! I will send out the robot army immediately!"
After cutting off the communication, Darth Sidious looked out the window and said coldly to himself: "Is this your last struggle? Finis Valorum..."
