Chapter 2285

2285 , Take Over the Power

Anakin was shocked all over, he suddenly felt that he had been concerned about Padmé before, and he ignored too many things in his confusion. He remembered that Ahsoka Tano seemed to have something to say to him at that time! ! The Jedi Order, abandoning the Republic?

"Why?" Anakin couldn't help blurting out.

Palpatine looked very surprised, he looked at Anakin and asked suspiciously: "What? It seems that you don't know about this? Well, that's right, this matter has not been officially announced yet, But it happened. The Jedi Order, disbanded."

Anakin jumped up suddenly, his face was pale! "The Jedi Order?? Disbanded?? I must go back immediately!!"

"Don't be impatient, Anakin. You can't change anything..." Palpatine waved his hand to signal Anakin to sit down, but the other party couldn't sit still at all, so he smiled and said: "The specifics I don't know much about the matter, I just know roughly that Master Yoda is back. He thought the existence of the Jedi Order was a mistake, so... disbanded it."

"I have to go back!!" Anakin turned around and walked out the door after speaking.

"You're gone, what about the Republic?" Palpatine suddenly shouted behind him, "Everyone has left, let me support this building that is about to collapse?"

Anakin's footsteps suddenly froze. He clenched his fists tightly and stood there forcibly, trembling all over, but a little helpless.

"Tell me Anakin, why did you join the Jedi Order?" Palpatine asked.

"To...to help more people..." Anakin replied in a low voice.

"Yes. That's what I've always admired about you. You have a heart of kindness, Anakin. You don't seek your own strength like the other Jedi Knights. In this regard, they are no different ...compared to the Sith..." Palpatine said.

"The credo of the Jedi Knights is to help others and uphold justice." Anakin said in a deep voice.

"But they've turned their backs on that creed now, haven't they? We're facing a war, a war we're almost losing. Behind us, there are countless civilians waiting for us to save them, Waiting for us to protect. However, the Jedi Order quit at this time, yes, they disbanded and ran away, and the so-called helping others is empty talk. And, without the Jedi Order, what do 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 to the last moment for the Milky Way and countless people, even if the battle robots have already invaded the parliament hall, I will not leave. Will sit here and face them!"

"I sincerely admire your dedication to the Republic, Your Excellency the Speaker." Anakin said in a low voice.

"But this is not enough, especially when it comes to how we can win this war." Palpatine shook his head and said, "There are fewer and fewer people I can trust, Anakin. This Republic, It has been rotten to the core, and everyone only thinks about themselves... But they obviously rely on the Republic to live! They obviously rely on the Republic to have a happy life! But why is the Republic just gone when it is in crisis? ?”

"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, ever since you returned from Corellia." Palpatine sighed, "In Naboo During the War of the Stars, we once swore an oath to protect this country. You are on the battlefield, and I am on the political arena. There are also people like Congressman Amidala, who are also doing their best to protect the Republic... However, this goal is becoming more and more serious. The farther away..."

Palpatine said with a long sigh: "Member Amidala does not agree with my decision, she hopes to resolve this war peacefully. I know, whenever I see the trace of sadness hidden in her eyes, I am heartbroken, she really doesn't want to see the loss of life, she doesn't want to see the expansion of the 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: "Member Amidala cares about the Republic, and always thinks about the common people. It is a member of the Republic to have such a member. Fortunately."

"But it can't save the Republic." Palpatine changed the subject, "When I stepped into a high position and got a deeper understanding of the Republic, I realized the innocence and naivety of the year. Because all aspects of the Republic are no longer drugs. It can be saved. To save the Republic, there is only one way... to cut off those rotten and corrupt places. Only by first establishing a truly clean and efficient government can we eliminate those corrupt people. A person who is dying himself Doctors are not qualified to save others, right?"

"Your political ideals are very lofty, and this is not something I'm good at, but I agree with your judgment... To get rid of **, you must use such a ruthless hand." Anakin said.

Palpatine nodded and said: "So we have to abandon something... The decay and sinking of the Republic stems from Rusan's reform, so I did the opposite. Rusan's reform disarmed, I expanded the army; Rusan's reform decentralized democracy , expand the bureaucratic system, and I cut down the officials, so that the power is more concentrated; the Ruusan reform declared that there will be no war in the galaxy, but I have to face a war, and... use this war to make the Republic better and more powerful!"

As he spoke, he changed the subject and asked, "Tell me, Anakin. On the battlefield, is the Separatist army strong?"

Suddenly, Anakin couldn't help but think of Tang Yu's figure, and the frightening khaki robot, Sentinel mk-h. His heartbeat suddenly became violent, and his expression became uncertain, "Very powerful, Your Excellency the Speaker. The robots all over the mountains and plains are fast, cold-blooded, and efficient. We must unite as one to fight against them."

His expression was seen by Palpatine, and a clear smile appeared on the corner of the speaker's mouth, "So, if one day I tell you that our soldiers on the battlefield will be reduced by half, what will we do?"

"Then we may not even be able to defend the Central Star District." Anakin answered truthfully.

Palpatine nodded again, "It means that our judgments coincide. Today, we have no way out. It doesn't matter if the Jedi knights betrayed the Republic, and Corellia betrayed the Republic, it doesn't matter, Lundili It doesn't matter if you betray the Republic. Because at least I can understand that I am not fighting alone, I still have you, Anakin."

"It is my honor and my oath, Your Excellency the Speaker." Anakin bowed his head and said.

"So, we have to abandon something..." Palpatine said: "The Republic is already on the verge of failure, and we must concentrate every bit of our strength to defeat the enemy! Perhaps because of expensive military expenditures, the quality of life of the people It will fall, and maybe some families will be separated because of the recruitment of the army, but behind us is this country! Only by defeating our enemies can we be qualified to look forward to a better future! Everything is for victory... only victory , is the best reward for every sacrifice made by the people of Limin!"

"We have no time or 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 our shoulders alone Let's go! I, will abolish the parliamentary system and take over the power!" A gleam flashed in Palpatine's eyes.
