2285. Take control of power
Anakin shuddered, and he suddenly felt that he had a heart for Padmé before, ignoring too many things in confusion. He remembered that Asoka-Tano seemed to have nothing to say to him at that time! ! Jedi Knights, abandoned the Republic?
"Why?" Anakin could not help but blurt out.
Palpatine looked very surprised. He looked at Anakin and asked questioningly: "Why? It looks like you don’t know about this matter? Well, yes, there is no official public announcement yet. But it has already happened. The Jedi Knights, disbanded."
Anakin jumped up suddenly, his face pale! "Jedi Samurai? Disbanded? I must go back immediately!!"
"Be restless, Anakin. You can't change anything..." Palpatine waved his hand to signal Anakin to sit down, but the other party couldn't sit still, so he smiled and said: "Specifically I don’t know much about it, I just know roughly that Master Yoda is back. He thinks the existence of the Jedi Order is a mistake, so...dissolved it."
"I have to go back!!!" Anakin said and turned towards the door.
"You're gone, what about the Republic?" Palpatine suddenly said loudly behind him. "Everyone left, let me support this building that is about to overturn?"
Anakin's footsteps suddenly froze, and he clenched his fists tightly, standing there forcibly, trembling, but somewhat helpless.
"Tell me Anakin, why are you joining the Jedi Order?" Palpatine asked.
"For...to help more people..." Anakin whispered.
"Yes. This is where I always look at you differently. You have a kind heart, Anakin. You are not like other Jedi warriors, you are only pursuing your own strength. In this regard, they are no different. ...Compared with Sith..." Palpatine said.
"Jedi Knight's creed is to help others and maintain justice." Anakin Shen Sheng said.
"But they now betray this creed, don't they? We are facing a war, a war that is almost about to be lost. Behind us, there are countless civilians who are waiting for us to save, Waiting for us to protect. However, the Jedi Knights quit at this time, yes, they disbanded and fled, taking the so-called help others as empty words. And, without the Jedi Knights, what can I trust Those Jedi Knights?" Palpatine shook his head.
Anakin was silent.
Palpatine stood up and said slowly: "But I will not give up, I will fight for the Milky Way, for countless people to the last moment, even if the combat robot has entered the parliament hall, I will not leave, only Will sit here to face them!"
"Your devotion to the Republic has made me sincerely admired, Your Excellency the Speaker," Anakin whispered.
"But this is not enough, especially for how we can win this war." Palpatine shook his head. "I can believe that there are fewer and fewer people, Anakin. This republic, It has decayed into the bones, everyone is just thinking about themselves... but they obviously depend on the Republic to live! They obviously rely on the Republic to live a happy life! But why is the Republic in crisis now, but it is just gone. ?"
"So I need to go back, I want to see what happened to the Jedi Order." Anakin said.
"Can you help the Republic when you go back? Anakin. You are no longer a member of the Jedi Order, since you came back from Corella." Palpatine sighed, "In Naboo During the Battle of the Stars, we once sworn together to protect this country. You are on the battlefield, I am in the political arena. And people like Senator Amidala are also doing their best to protect the Republic... But this goal is getting more and more The farther away..."
Palpatine said with a long sigh: "Congressman Amidala did not agree with my decision. She hopes to resolve this war peacefully. I know that whenever I see the sadness hidden in her eyes, I’m so sad, she really doesn’t want to see the creatures smeared, or the expansion of war..."
The softness in Anakin’s heart was touched again, but he tried his best to hide his emotions and said as objectively as possible: "Congressman Emidala is concerned about the Republic and always thinks about the people of Lebanon. Fortunately."
"But I can't save the republic." Palpatine remarked, "When I stepped into a high position and learned about the republic more deeply, I discovered the innocence and childishness of that year. Because all aspects of the republic are no longer medicines It can be saved. To save the Republic, there is only one way... to cut away those rancid and erosive places. Only by first establishing a truly clean and efficient government can we eliminate those. A doctor who is ill in his own way, It’s not qualified to save others, right?"
"Your political ideals are very ambitious, and this is not what I am good at, but I approve of your judgment... To be removed, this must be ruthless." Anakin said.
Palpatine nodded and said: "So we have to abandon something... The decay and depravity of the Republic stems from the Russan reform, so I did the opposite. Russan reformed disarmament, I expanded the military; Russan reform decentralized democracy , Expand the bureaucracy, and I cut officials to make the power more concentrated; the Rusang reform declared that there is no war in the galaxy, but I have to face a war, and... use this war to make the Republic better and more Strong!"
Turning his words, he asked, "Tell me, Anakin. Is the separatist army strong on the battlefield?"
Anakin suddenly thought of Tang Yu's figure involuntarily in his mind, as well as the terrifying earthy robot, sentry mk-h. His heartbeat jumped violently, and his expression fluctuated. "Very powerful, Your Excellency Speaker. The robots in the mountains and the mountains. They are fast, cold-blooded, and efficient. We must fight against them with all our ambitions."
His expression was seen by Palpatine, and a clear smile appeared on the corner of the speaker's mouth. "So, if I tell you one day that our soldiers on the battlefield will be reduced by half, what will happen?"
"Then we may not be able to hold even the Central Star District~EbookFREE.me~ Anakin answered truthfully.
Palpatine nodded again, "That means our judgment coincides, and we have no way back today. The Jedi Knights have deserted the Republic, it doesn't matter, Corella has deserted the Republic, it doesn't matter, Lundilli It’s okay to betray the Republic. Because I can at least understand that I am not alone, I still have you, Anakin."
"This is my honor and my oath, Your Excellency Speaker." Anakin said with a bow.
"So, we have to abandon something..." Palpatine said: "The republic is already on the verge of failure, and we must concentrate every strength to defeat the enemy! Maybe because of the expensive military expenses, the quality of life of the people It will fall, maybe some families will be separated because of the call of the army, but behind us is this country! Only by defeating our enemies, we are qualified to look forward to a better future! Everything is for victory... only victory... Is the best reward for every Limin people who have made sacrifices!"
"We have no time and no energy to waste on endless procedures, endless processes, endless quarrels. I firmly believe that our path is correct, so it is time to carry the entire republic on its shoulders alone Moving forward! I, the parliamentary system will be abolished, and the power will be overwhelming!" Palpatine's eyes flashed a gleam.
