Chapter 176 The Actions of the Jedi Order
174. The Actions of the Jedi Order
Sheev Palpatine’s voice was like a hymn, praising the power of the Republic at its peak. The glory of the Jedi Order, and then the style of the painting suddenly changed...
He slowly put down his hand, "But when did the Jedi Order become such a cowardly organization? They uphold the Peace, but turning a blind eye to the obvious war. In which case did the Battle of Galidlan and the Battle of Stark Hyperspace not put the Republic in an undue crisis? Master Yoda is a respectable elder. I believe that in the At this time of crisis, he will not stand idly by."
Finis Valoran's eyes gradually became firm, and he nodded and said, "In the face of the danger of the Republic, the Jedi Knight. I can't stand by and look for Master Yoda myself."
Palpatine bowed deeply and said slowly: "I will also mobilize my connections to help."
...
Coruscant, above the Jedi Temple, that The top floor of the right one of the five tall 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 think the Speaker is here for the dispute on the planet Malastar. Please come in, Master Yoda. 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 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 backed away from the meeting 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.
Valorum sighed, "That's true. The disputes in all aspects are intensifying, which makes us exhausted."
"The power of the dark side is about to move. I can feel it, from my premonition." Yoda The master said, "There is the shadow of evil, behind those abnormal things."
"I think this is not a illusory issue like the dark side, but a real conflict of interests and class disputes. "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."
"My arrival is 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. If the Corporate Alliance succeeds, other large companies will follow suit. Come, the Republic may lose its dominance of the Outer Rim Sector forever," Valoran said in one breath, seizing the opportunity.
"Send mediators, we have already." Master Yoda shook his head and said, "We will not intervene in commercial disputes."
Valorum 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 dominate the Republic, the demise of the Republic will be imminent! How can the Jedi Order stand idly by when faced with such a thing?"
He still! He wanted to continue saying something, but Master Yoda waved his hand gently, and Valoran suddenly felt a cool feeling coming from the bottom of his heart, as refreshing as a bucket of ice water in the hot summer day. .
"The power of the dark side is behind it, I said it." Master Yoda said: "It exists in everyone's heart, the power of the dark side. We all need to fight against it." Speaker Valorum turned his worries into joy, " So, the Jedi Order is willing to help?"
"Already on the way, Master Kep-she," Master Yoda said, "Reassess the situation. She needs it."
"Master Kep-Ae is the only one? Then..."
"Continue to guide us, the Force." Master Yoda smiled and stood up. Speaker Loren bowed, and then made another gesture of invitation toward the door, "May the Force be with you."
...
"That's the way it is, Master Dooku. I'm afraid that after this time, the Galactic Republic will face a period of turmoil..." Palpatine sighed and looked at the two holographic projections. The figure said.
One of them is a hale and hearty old man with a burly build, gray hair and gray beard but an imposing figure, Jedi Master Dooku. The other man's coarse robes were full of vicissitudes of life, he had a short goatee, and his long hair was braided and tied behind his head. Looking at the attire, he was obviously a Jedi Knight.
"It seems you were right, Senator Palpatine. The galaxy is heading for 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 Seve Dias nodded in agreement.
"How to solve the problem of funding? And now the Galactic Parliament will not agree to the motion to establish an army, 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 sitting behind the office, one by one, aloof... …Officials," Sheev Palpatine said.
Seve 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 previous Battle of Galederan," Palpatine said.
As soon as he said these words, Master Dooku's expression suddenly became ferocious. He gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, "It's just like the Battle of Galedran, complicating the matter and finally turning it into a... A massacre? And 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 made things complicated! Since Master Yoda is going to intervene, he should have taken action long ago! Instead of taking action only after the Republic fleet was almost completely destroyed! This It's just child's play!" Master Dooku said sternly.
"Master Yoda also has his own considerations. After all, our Jedi Order should not resort to force from the beginning. We wield our swords for peace, not for war." Seve Dias There are different opinions.
Palpatine smiled and said: "Then, let's see how things develop, two masters."
