Chapter 968 Secret Investigation
967. Secret Investigation
“Investigating Rush Clovis, the representative of the Interstellar Banking Association?” Master Mace Windu frowned, “Better than As for the Jedi Order, wouldn't it be more appropriate for the Republic Intelligence Department to investigate this matter?"
Schiff Palpatine shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, no, the Interstellar Banking Association is too powerful. Big, and to put it bluntly, they are too rich. Within the Republic, I cannot trust anyone except the Jedi Order... because anyone can succumb to the power of money, only the Jedi. The Samurai Order is the one that I can trust wholeheartedly from the beginning to the end."
Master Windu was very useful to this reasonable flattery. He nodded and said: "Then, you should. Got 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 being 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 hesitant, but still made up his mind. , continued: "I am actually very reluctant to say this matter, but the matter of the Interstellar Banking Association is a big deal after all. If you are not careful, even the foundation of the Galactic Republic will be shaken... so... alas... ...Well, Senator Padmé Amidala was once an underground lover with Senator Rush Clovis."
"Huh?" Master Windu's eyes widened, he was completely. I didn't expect 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 Padmé?" 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 it happen Senator Padmé Amidala went into danger. However, I remembered that Anakin Skywalker had protected her for a period of time before the war broke out, so I found an excuse to bring Anakin back and continue to protect her. Padme, this will not arouse more suspicion."
He continued: "And I really can't tell Padmé directly about this, you know, Master Windu, after all. As the speaker, I must integrate every different voice in the parliament and then make a decision. This means that I must not have a position, or I must not show my position to others. If I come forward to find Padmé about this matter, it may send some bad news to her."
Master Windu nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Speaker. It's just...Anakin Skywalker is on the Tibrin planet now..."
He sighed, "That's right...the Tibrin planet"
Palpatine also sighed and shook his head: "Yes, Planet Tibrin..."
...
Just like Shiv Palpatine and Wen What Master Du is worried about is that 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, unable to be cut into pieces. Can't get rid of it. After the two new Doomsday Arena-class battlecruisers were put into 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 support themselves.
On the planet, the numerous B-1 combat robots of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' robot 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 Technology Alliance, which posed a great threat to the Republic's Cheer-class assault landing ship.
After arriving, Anakin Skywalker launched a surprise attack, destroying several J-1 heavy proton cannons, but soon the acting governor of the planet Tiblin, the fallen Jedi Master Thora Balk I took action myself.
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.
After that, Ahsoka Tano got 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.
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 rule of the Confederation of Independent Systems not to allow the planet's local troops to participate in the war, and agreed to the direct participation of the Ishi-Tibu people in the war.
The fanatical Ishi-Tibu people quickly mobilized an army of one million people and began to launch a crazy counterattack against the clone army. At this moment, the troops led by Anakin Skywalker have been suppressed again. After all, there are too many enemies, and the Tibrin planet is very close to the Dora and Glenson planets controlled by the fourth civilization. These two planets are now the key rear for their attack on the Eriadu system.
Therefore, the Fourth Civilization provided a large number of weapons to the Ishi-Tibu people, including the Vulture tank, the Warthog off-road vehicle, and the M-9 Wolverine half-track anti-aircraft tank. Vehicle units 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. The Ishi-Tibu people suffered close to 60,000 casualties in just one week of offensive.
Finally, with the efforts of computer experts from the Fourth Civilization, the nanovirus was cracked, and the robot army of Tibrin Planet began to take action again!
