Chapter 2000 Fading Away (Chapter 2000 Milestone Achieved!!)

? 2000, drifting away

"Sir, why didn't you just order Tang Yu to be arrested just now? They have no ability to resist!" Major General Tarkin asked Palpatine on a hunter-class cruiser.

"Look clearly at the reality hidden under the surface, General Tarkin. You should understand that even if you went to war just now, you would definitely not be the one who won..." Palpatine looked at the universe outside the window through the porthole , said lightly, "Guardian of the planet is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, this is my intuition."

"But just now it was obvious..."

Palpatine waved his hand and interrupted him: "The reason why they dare not resist is because they are afraid of the Republic, but not of you. Among other things, just those soldiers in red armor, do you think you have Can those marines fight?"

Tarkin thought about it for a while, bowed his head and said, "You have been taught, Lord Speaker."

"You are the general I value most, don't let me down..." Palpatine said slowly.

"yes!"

...

Yucheng, the capital of the guardian planet.

In Tang Yu's palace, all core members gathered in the conference hall, and in front of them were many mutilated fragments, two corpses, and a bottle of black liquid samples.

"The initial screening has yielded some results. Besides the assailant, we also caught two people, but they both committed suicide on the spot." Fox Immortal pointed at these things and said, "This black bottle belongs to the assailant. The substance after the body was melted is being tested in the laboratory, and it can only be initially confirmed that it is a strong corrosive liquid, and it only targets organic matter. In addition, these fragments are the ion cannon that attacked Palpatine. This ion cannon should It is a one-time weapon assembled together, and it is made of special materials, which has deceived our detection system."

"Where are these people's backgrounds?" Tang Yu asked sullenly.

Fox Immortal looked at the corpses and replied with a cold snort: "It's definitely not people from the guardian planet, but aliens. Although our own technology has limited detection of space, there is no problem in scanning the vicinity of the entire planet. When hyperspace sails nearby, it will leave obvious fluctuations, which are easy to detect. In addition, the Predator fleet is not far from us, so there are only two waves of people who have the opportunity to come here."

She held up two fingers and said: "Bail Organa's mission can be ruled out,

Because it is an open visit, everything is closely watched. Therefore, when Newt Gunley visited, he might have brought the assailant with him, and the second one was... brought by Palpatine himself! "

Chen Gang pondered and said: "Indeed, no matter what the considerations are, when Palpatine came over, the electronic interference attack by Major General Tarkin was too abrupt and unreasonable, and if you really consider it from the perspective of the Republic , this action is likely to make our planet distrust the Republic. But if they just want to use this opportunity to send murderers to our planet, then everything makes sense."

"In the setting documents I have seen, it shows that Newt Gunley is just a greedy, cowardly and cowardly villain. Even if he had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to make a fuss about the speaker. The power of the dark side of the original force can only show that he is just a pawn." Emma the White Queen said.

Hu Immortal stroked his hair and said: "Actually, this matter is easy to judge, and even I don't think it is necessary for us to dig deeper."

"How?" Tang Yu asked.

"First of all, what the murderer yelled...'Our emperor can live ten thousand years'...Do you know what it means?" The fox fairy sneered, "He actually wanted to say, 'Long live the emperor, long live the emperor' ’, but because of a smattering of knowledge of our language, speaking in the common language of the Republic, it becomes this nonsense.”

"They should have heard this sentence from Chinese. If this is the case, it also means that it is unlikely to be someone from Newt Gunley. Because the Chinese analysis data was brought to Coruscant by Councilor Bail Organa, The timing of the two does not match." Bolivar Trask said: "In fact, our Guardian Empire has developed to the present, although the official languages ​​​​are definitely Chinese and English. But in fact, because of the particularity of Chinese, more and more Most of them are used by the upper class, forming a polarization. They forcibly use Chinese words to frame us, which is really ridiculous.”

Fox Immortal said lightly: "It's really ridiculous, that's why we can so simply deduce that the perpetrator is not ours—just as the mastermind behind the scenes, Speaker Palpatine, predicted."

"You mean, these clues were left by Palpatine on purpose?" Tang Yu was stunned.

"If a new planet is discovered, it will be persecuted to death immediately. If the Galactic Republic and Palpatine measure this, the Republic will not occupy the entire Milky Way and have the current achievements." Fox Immortal said: "Leaving so many obvious clues , but there is no witness, Palpatine did this to leave room for us, and does not want us to be fatally hit because of this matter. If this is the case, he must have other deep meanings in doing this."

"What's the meaning?" Tang Yu asked with a frown.

"Maybe it's... that we don't want us to join the Republic..." Fox Immortal touched his white and thin chin and said, "From Palpatine's point of view, what good will it do him if we don't join the Republic?"

"Could it be my reason?" White Queen Emma asked.

Fox Immortal suddenly realized, "That's right! That's true!! Maybe other people can't guess Palpatine's purpose, or even guess that this assassination farce was directed and acted by himself. But compared to others, we, The biggest advantage is that we know that Palpatine is Darth Sidious, the Lord of Sith! Then since his purpose is to provoke a civil war in the Galactic Republic and prevent us from joining the Republic, then the purpose is to let us fight Republic!"

Tang Yu also immediately understood the key point, "Whether it is Emma or Peacock, in Palpatine's view, they both have very good force qualities, that is to say, he wants us to deal with the Jedi Order! !"

"If this is the case, it is really the worst result!! It turns out that we still want to expose Palpatine's true face to the Jedi Order at an appropriate time after joining the Republic... and once we do not join the Republic, then On the one hand, all our accusations against him will be empty talk!" The Fox Immortal shook his head, looking a little frustrated.

"Even if something like this happens, we can still join the republic." Tang Yu thought for a while and said.

"Impossible! Do you think Palpatine will do this? As long as he makes a move, it must be interlocking and continuous, and he will never stop until he achieves his goal! Then if my guess is right, he must have other tricks." Arrange, in this way, we will be farther and farther away from the Republic!" Said Hu Immortal.

"But... you can't just let Palpatine dictate, right?" Li Xinghao said with some reluctance.

"It needs to be emphasized that we don't have any capital to compete with the current Palpatine. Obedience is the only choice. Otherwise, even if he can't destroy us, he can easily block our development path and make us accomplish nothing As the fox fairy said, he tapped the screen and asked back: "Before you just paid attention to the perpetrator, didn't you realize that Palpatine left, this time the money that should have been sent by him personally this time?" Are the 50 million loans and those old space battleships gone?"

Tang Yu just remembered, "That's right! After Palpatine came here, he didn't mention it at all. After the assassination happened, Palpatine left directly!"

"So you understand...he is trying to force us into enemies of the Republic!" Hu Immortal said in a deep voice.
