964: A single spark can start a prairie fire

"The best of both worlds? Hehehe... If you have a clear understanding of the current situation of this war, you should Understand, no matter how hard we try, we can't win this war," Count Dooku said coldly.

Darth Malthael smiled faintly and said: "For us, just survive. The Galactic Republic will not be able to survive that time, and Darth Sidious's patience will not survive either. Not until then."

"So you spent so much time planning, and in the end you just said, 'Just survive'?" Count Dooku sneered.

Darth Malthael said: "Have you ever known this sentence - a single spark can start a prairie fire." He raised his eyes and glanced at Count Dooku, and said: "Maybe you don't have much self-awareness, but I have to What I am telling you is that the fire you lit in the outer ring of the Milky Way is by no means just the Confederation of Independent Systems..."

He said seriously: "The Confederation of Independent Systems may not be able to defeat the Galactic Republic. , but the fire they lit eventually burned the Galactic Republic and even Darth Sidious, who was likely to become the emperor, to ashes."

"But you also said, no! Without the Confederation of Independent Systems, we are nothing," Count Dooku said solemnly.

"So I tell you, just live. Live until the day this spark finally grows enough to burn everything." Darth Malthael said.

“What is the difference between this and leaving your destiny to others?”

"Of course...because you are Count Dooku, the founder of the Confederation of Independent Systems, the spiritual pillar of separatism, and...the embodiment of freedom and democracy."

Count Dooku snorted coldly and said nothing. , the expression is a bit complicated.

"Do you think it's dramatic? I understand you very well, Count Dooku... Your mentality has changed since the Battle of Galederan. You have realized that the so-called democracy, the so-called Freedom is just an excuse for those who are lazy and undisciplined, completely unwilling to assume any obligations, and only think about others paying for themselves. They reject civilization and progress, and are always willing to live in their own comfort zone, even if foreign invaders invade. , they will also shout angrily at you who sent reinforcements - because you violated their freedom." Das Malthael's face was full of ridicule.

[PS: Halo TV series, yes, it’s you. 】

He continued, "This galaxy needs power! Only power can prevent those capitalists from unscrupulously using democracy as a weapon. Only power can make those planets assume their obligations. Only power can make the entire galaxy The forces of the world can be combined into one, and only power... can make this galactic civilization that has been stagnant for thousands of years move forward again." Darth Malthael's voice gradually became more and more passionate.

Count Dooku still didn't speak, but it was obvious that he deeply agreed with Darth Malthael's words.

Then, Darth Malthael's voice gradually became calmer, "You should know that the so-called freedom and so-called democracy advocated in this galaxy are ultimately just isolationism and anarchy. And the worst of human nature... selfishness."

"You see very clearly, Lord Death Angel," Count Dooku said.

“But you must also see this. This kind of thinking is deeply rooted in the Milky Way. Whether it is in a barren outer ring star region or some developed core circle worlds, there are such thoughts. This kind of thinking Thoughts have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the galaxy since Rusan's reform. This kind of power... is very powerful." Darth Malthael smiled, but then said with a solemn expression, "But this. Is that what you and I want? No, absolutely not!” “Even if you are Count Dooku, the founder of the Confederation of Independent Systems, the spiritual pillar of separatism, and the embodiment of freedom and democracy, what you really want is A regime with great power and power, unified by laws and regulations, with a strong military and a strong government. This is our goal!" Darth Malthael said impassionedly. Let Darth Sidious have a bloody encounter with this powerful 'liberal democracy' first."

Count Dooku said calmly: "But this is no different from Darth Sidious's plan. Why should I join you?"

Darth Malthael He smiled and said, "Because Sidious just wants to be the emperor and become the only...god in the entire galaxy. For him, whether it is the Galactic Republic or the Federation of Independent Systems, everything is expendable. Because In the eyes of God, everything is an ant... So instead of solving the problem in the Galactic Republic, he will intensify the problem."

"Oh?"

"He only supported some of the vested interest groups, and then sacrificed other former vested interest groups, including the Trade Alliance, in exchange for the support of those groups that supported him. Then among those who became the super oligarchs With the support of the giants, Sidious can slowly carry out his plan to become a god. In the process, he will not care about the governance of the country at all, as long as it does not affect him... So, the Milky Way at that time. , it will only become more corrupt.”

“Are these what you saw?”

"The Force has told me enough things..." Darth Malthael smiled faintly.

……

At the same time, the capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant.

This round of quarrels among the Galactic Council has been going on for several days. In fact, this is why Darth Sidious was so angry about Count Dooku’s sudden communication— -Compared with the Confederation of Independent Systems, the political shock in the Galactic Republic was far more violent.

With the continuous defeat of the frontline battle, the clone troopers and battleship formations suffered huge losses, which also meant that huge amounts of materials and money continued to evaporate amidst the roar of turbolaser cannons, and the Galactic Republic also began to Facing a very scary problem...

They have no money.

Now the fiscal deficit of the Republic has been rising all the way, and has already exceeded the safety line. On the one hand, the government cannot make ends meet, but on the other hand, Kuat Power Shipyard and the planet Kamino keep putting the completed battleships and clone troopers in front of them, asking the government to continue to place orders for purchase.

At the same time, the government of the Republic must grit its teeth and continue to issue military orders.

Because once the production of battleships and clone troopers stops, the frontline war situation will collapse and more systems will fall. And the fall of more galaxies will cause the Republic's finances to suffer an even more serious crisis!
