1445. The Story of the Sith (Part 2)
Palpatine turned to look at Anakin’s blank expression and sneered secretly, But he still said sincerely, "Yes, that's right... I became the Speaker of the Galactic Republic. Since taking office, I have punished corrupt officials, rectified institutions, and further strengthened the authority of the Republic... I led the Republic to fight against separatism! I Integrating every resource of the Republic, snatching these precious national properties from those greedy corporate giants, and using them for the great cause of Galaxy System One..."
He suddenly grabbed Anakin Skywalker "So you tell me, did I do something wrong? Even as a Sith Lord and in the position of Speaker of the Republic, did I do something wrong?"
Anakin Skywalker was a little worried. He took a few steps back in panic and pulled back his clothes. His lips moved, not knowing what to say.
But his expression revealed his inner thoughts - he did not think Palpatine was incompetent as the Speaker of the Republic.
Palpatine showed a sneer that was not noticed by others. He lay back half on the sofa and whispered: "I don't think... I have done anything to regret the Galactic Republic. After all, All my life, I have been doing one thing - making the Republic a better place. You can criticize my methods, but you must not question my determination..."
"No...from the planet Naboo. The siege was ordered by you!" Anakin Skywalker pointed out directly.
Everyone in the Jedi Order also read the information about Jax Pawan after Master Yoda left.
Palpatine's face became a little gloomy, and he said slowly: "I hate them!"
"You...hate...them?" Anakin was a little confused again.
"That's right!" Palpatine's expression looked angry, "I hate the authorities on the planet Naboo! They are the ones who want to sell the plasma mines on the planet and will not hesitate to eradicate anyone who stands in their way! My father , my mother...my whole family died in this kind of political struggle! I hate the Interstellar Banking Association even more! I hate the Trade Federation even more! It is because of their plundering and conspiracy that the planet Naboo has become so corrupt. ! !”
He gasped violently, his voice hoarse from overexertion, “So I devised this plan! I used the plasma mine trade to drive a wedge between the Interstellar Banking Association and the predecessors of the planet Naboo. King Als Veruna, even if the Battle of Naboo did not break out at that time, the conflict between the two sides was already irreconcilable! Next, the planet Naboo was blocked, and my goal was achieved..."
He Sighing, "Due to conflicts with the Interstellar Banking Association, the regime of Als Veruna collapsed, and the new Queen Padmé Amidala terminated the plasma mine trade. At the same time, because of her participation in the blockade of the planet Naboo, the trade The Alliance has become the public enemy in the galaxy... Yes, I took revenge. And because of this, I became the Speaker of the Republic, which also gave me the ability to realize my dream! This... is my plan..."
After saying that, Palpatine smiled slightly, "Perhaps you didn't know at that time that the reason why Padmé, who was only 14 years old at the time, was able to defeat Als-Vei, who had ruled the planet Naboo for more than 30 years. Runa became the queen of the planet Naboo precisely because of my strong support. I like her very much, Anakin... Although her views are often different from mine, I always admire her for her bravery and fearlessness. , justice, and intelligence. Under her leadership, the planet Naboo got rid of the plasma mine trade, reached a peace agreement with the Gungans, and the government agencies became more transparent and efficient. She proved that I was right..." Listen. At this point, Anakin Skywalker couldn't help but put down the lightsaber in his hand. Although the metal hilt is still in his hand, the blade has been put away. He knew that, at least on this point, Palpatine was not lying, because Padmé did tell him that it was Palpatine who gave her the greatest help when she was young.
It’s just that he doesn’t know that the best lies are often mixed with 99.9% of the truth... Just like Palpatine’s current lie, his only lie was an understatement at the beginning. ...His purpose.
"This is my story as Speaker of the Republic... Next..." Palpatine said, his voice suddenly became distorted and greasy, making people's hair stand on end, "It's a Sith Lord. The story of the Lord..."
When Anakin Skywalker heard this voice, he just frowned, but made no further hostile moves.
The test was successful. An imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of Palpatine's mouth. He continued to use this distorted voice and said slowly, "My master, Darth Plagueis...he put I was taken away from the planet Naboo and prepared to train me as his apprentice. You should know that the Sith Lords, starting from Darth Bane, all adopt the two-person principle, that is, in the galaxy, only one person can be trained at the same time. There are two Sith, one master and one apprentice..."
"Darth Plagueis is the smartest person I have ever met. He is not keen on killing. On the contrary, he has been assassinated repeatedly because he is in the whirlpool of interests of the Interstellar Banking Association. He has always carried The respirator is because his jaw was completely cut off in an assassination that almost killed him," Darth Sidious said, "Darth Plagueis has two biggest wishes in his life. , The first is to study the mystery of eternal life, and the second is to completely uncover the mystery of the Force."
"He has many unique insights into the Force and eternal life. He believes that the Force is a trinity. , infinity, soul and spirit... At the same time, he had his own unique explanation of the birth and death of the Force," Darth Sidious said, "And in terms of immortality, he could be said to be the leader in the entire galaxy at that time. The most outstanding doctor, he can even create life through the Force! Yes, his research on immortality lies in the Force of Life."
Darth Sidious smiled and said: " Didn't you expect? The dark side force, which you Jedi Knights describe as evil, can actually heal injuries and create life! There is not as big a gap between life and the dark side as you think."
As he spoke, he looked at the ceiling and said: "So, if he is still alive, the injury I am suffering is not a problem at all... He can heal me with a wave of his hand. This is exactly what I thought Yes, I want to continue his research... As long as we can learn even a little bit about the force of life, maybe the people around us will not be troubled by injuries, and maybe we will not lose the people we love... ...But..."
Darth Sidious's voice darkened, "He was killed...by his other disciple, the Death Angel!"
