"Investigating Rush Clovis, the representative of the Interstellar Banking Association?" Master Mace Windu frowned, "Rather than the Jedi Order, this matter should be investigated by the Republic Intelligence Department, right?"
Sheev Palpatine shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, no. The Interstellar Banking Association is too powerful, and to put it bluntly, they are too rich. Within the Republic, I cannot trust anyone other than the Jedi Order.
Anyone else... Because anyone can succumb to the power of money, only the Jedi Order is the one I can trust wholeheartedly from the beginning to the end."
Master Windu was very satisfied with this reasonable flattery. He nodded and said, "Then you should have some information, right?"
Even though he was trying to flatter everyone, Master Windu unconsciously returned the honorific. Compared with his cold attitude towards everyone after he was seriously injured, he had softened a lot.
Palpatine said: "Actually, this is one of the reasons why I came to you."
He paused and seemed a little hesitant, but he still made up his mind and continued: "I am actually very reluctant to say this matter, but the matter of the Interstellar Banking Association is a big deal after all, and a little carelessness can even lead to serious consequences.
The capital of the Galactic Republic will be shaken by this... So... alas... well, Senator Padmé Amidala was once an underground lover with Senator Rush Clovis."
"Huh?" Master Windu's eyes widened. He never expected that what came out of the Speaker's mouth would be such a piece of gossip.
"Okay. So, it's best to let Senator Padmé Amidala do this..." Sheev Palpatine said.
"But... what does this have to do with our Jedi Order? Can't you just say this to Padme directly?" Master Windu asked.
Sheev Palpatine said seriously: "Rush Clovis is definitely a separatist, so the investigation against him must be very difficult and even full of dangers. I can't let Padmé Ami
Councilor Daala went into danger. However, I remembered that before the war broke out, Anakin Skywalker had protected her for a while, so I found an excuse to transfer Anakin back and continue to protect Padmé.
It won’t arouse any more suspicion.”
He continued: "And I really can't tell Padmé directly about this matter. You know, Master Windu, after all, I am the speaker, and as the speaker, I must integrate every different voice in the parliament and then make a decision.
Decision. This means that I must never have a position, or in other words, I must not show my position to others. So if I come forward to find Padmé on this matter, maybe I will convey some bad news to her.
message."
Master Windu nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Speaker. It's just...Anakin Skywalker is on the Tibrin planet now..."
As he spoke, he sighed, "That's right... Planet Tibrin."
Palpatine also sighed and shook his head: "Yes, Planet Tibrin..."
…
Just as Sheev Palpatine and Master Windu were worried, the Tibrin planet at this moment is simply a hell on earth!
After the planet's dictator Sulibran Tu was publicly executed by the priestess, the Ishi-Tibu people on the entire Tibrin planet were in a state of fanaticism.
They reveled in their liberation, cursed the Galactic Republic, and unleashed all the anger they had accumulated under the dictator's reign of terror.
After receiving assistance from the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Ishi-Tibu people immediately entered the battle against the Republic army.
At this moment, in the outer space of the planet, the fleet of the Galactic Republic is constantly entangled with the fleet of the Salarians. However, the Amarr Empire warships used by the Salarians are like brown sugar, which cannot be cut into pieces or thrown away. In the new
After the two Doomsday Arena-class battlecruisers entered the battlefield, the fleets of both sides began to draw closer, and the stalemate continued like this.
On the ground battlefield, the 501st Legion led by Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano and the 41st Storm Legion led by Master Ron Shrien could only struggle to hold on.
On the planet, the numerous B-1 battle droids of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' droid army are constantly attacking the defense lines of the Republic's clone army. Moreover, they also obtained the J-1 heavy proton cannon from the Technological Alliance, which can be used against the Republic's Cheer-class
Attacking landing ships poses a great threat.
After Anakin Skywalker arrived, he launched a surprise attack and destroyed several J-1 heavy proton cannons, but soon the acting governor of the planet Tiblin, the fallen Jedi Master Thora Balk, took action himself.
In the lightsaber duel, Anakin Skywalker was defeated by Thora Balk. Fortunately, the cooperation of Ahsoka Tano and Ron Schliene was able to save the day, but the remaining J-1 heavy proton cannon
There is no way to destroy it.
Their remaining two Cheer-class assault landing ships had to leave the attack range of the proton cannon, but at the same time, this also meant that they could no longer provide ground fire support.
Afterwards, Ahsoka Tano obtained a nanovirus. Together with Anakin, she quietly implanted the virus into the main control computer of the Confederacy of Independent Systems Robot Legion, allowing the nanovirus to spread on the planet's network.
Come.
This virus paralyzed most of the robots. After that, the clone army seized the opportunity to launch an attack and advanced dozens of kilometers towards the capital of the planet Tibrin.
However, Thora Balk also responded quickly. Like the Dawn Planet, he relaxed the rules of the Confederation of Independent Systems that did not allow the planet's local troops to participate in the war, and agreed to the Ishi-Tibu people to directly participate in the war.
The fanatical Ishi-Tibu people quickly mobilized a million troops and began to launch a crazy counterattack against the clone army. At this moment, the troops led by Anakin Skywalker had been suppressed again. After all, there were too many enemies.
, and the Tibrin planet is very close to the Dora planet and the Glenson planet under the control of the fourth civilization. However, these two planets are now the key rear for their launch of the Eriadu galaxy attack operation.
Therefore, the Fourth Civilization provided the Ishi-Tibu people with a large number of weapons, as well as some vehicle units including the Vulture tank, the Warthog off-road vehicle, the M-9 Wolverine half-track anti-aircraft tanker, and even
Provided 30 siege tanks to go over!
Although the clone soldiers are extremely elite, as long as the firepower is strong enough, the combat effectiveness gap between Ishi-Tibu and them can be somewhat narrowed.
This battle was very cruel, and the Ishi-Tibu people suffered nearly 60,000 casualties in just one week of offensive.
Finally, with the efforts of the computer experts of the Fourth Civilization, the nanovirus was cracked, and the robot army of Tibrin Planet began to take action again!
