527Respond with fear

22bby, on May 25, the third day after Count Dooku declared the Confederacy of Independent Systems to be independent from the Galactic Republic, news of the fall of Bespin reached Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic.

This is also the first planet captured by the separatists after the outbreak of the war, and very badly, it is a neutral planet.

The so-called neutral planets at this time are still within the administrative scope of the Galactic Republic, but some planets refuse to participate in the war. They will neither help the Galactic Republic nor the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, and unilaterally declare neutrality.

In fact, it just wants to be a wallflower.

Just like Planet Bespin, they just want to do business, they don't want to go to war.

But it is clear that the war will not give them this opportunity.

The governor of the planet Bespin, Miera Figo, and the military commander, Santa Maria, abandoned everything that could be discarded, and only led the remaining fleet to escape to the planet Dora, and sent a message to Coruscant for help.

The chairman of the Galactic Council, Schiff Palpatine, looked at the request for help in the office, and then looked at a small star map projection in the corner of the desk. His eyes fell on the Endor galaxy in the inconspicuous corner.

"Dawn Planet...hehehe..." A distorted voice came from his originally kind and amiable expression, and then a terrifying low laugh came out.

After a while, he returned to what his speaker should be, turned on the communicator and said, "Help me invite Master Shake Ti to come over, there are important things that need to be discussed."

Then, he changed the channel, and a man in his 40s appeared in the holographic projection, with a thin and somewhat gloomy face, his hairline had receded to the top of his forehead, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

"Well, my friend, Governor Wilhoff Tarkin, you must already know the news of Bespin's fall. This is a terrifying change," Schiff Palpatine said.

"Your Excellency Speaker." Wilhoff-Tarkin bowed slightly and said, "I am indeed following the battle situation on Bespin's side, but I am also powerless, and the Sesvenna sector where I am is being attacked by separatists. Agmar is under siege. I can't drop Agmar, it will give Separatists a chance to cut off the Corellian trade route. But I do have some opinions on Bespin ."

"I think that's what I came to find you for, my friend. In the military, you'll always be the person I can trust most," Palpatine said with a smile.

"As I have always insisted on the military theory, war is not as simple as pulling the trigger and shooting. Fighting and killing on the battlefield is only the appearance of war at the end, and the essence of war is often hidden in the depths. And I want to say It's the human heart," said Governor Tarkin.

"I'm all ears." Palpatine heard the door ring and saw that Master Shake-Ti had come in. He smiled at Shake-Ti and motioned her to come and sit down and listen together.

"The separatist movement is very rampant, and now our war situation on the planet Geonosius is in a state of anxiety, where Master Yoda and 200,000 clone soldiers are trapped, and then the separatists attack 17 directions at the same time, then at this time, the galaxy The trillions of people under the Republic, their hearts... are afraid. They are afraid of separatism, and then afraid of war." Tarkin said.

"But we just decided to accept this war," Palpatine said.

"So if it goes on like this, fear will prevail. Under fear, the people will oppose the war. At this time they will not oppose the separatism that gives them fear, but will oppose ... us." Tarkin The Governor's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "And the failure of Planet Besping will exacerbate this."

"So, what's your opinion?" Palpatine said.

"Fear should be our weapon! It should be the shackles we put on the enemy's heart, not our shackles! And this beginning is the planet of Bespin," Tarkin said.

"Why Bespin?" Master Shake-Ti asked.

"Because they are neutral planets, and they are neutral planets attacked by separatists." Tarkin said proudly, "When the Republic was in danger, they abandoned the Republic and declared neutrality. In fact, neutrality at this time, and betrayal Equivalent! This is a very bad behavior, and it must not be allowed to spread, but in fact, with the continuous victory of separatism, there are now more than 6000 galaxies in the Milky Way declared neutral, is this normal? Is this allowed? Is it?"

"Of course not!" Palpatine had already got the answer he wanted, and the smile on his face was a little grim.

"So, we must respond strongly on the planet Besping! Not only against separatism~www.mtlnovel.com~ but also against the so-called 'neutrality' who want to be a wall!" Governor Tarkin's words were decisive.

Palpatine turned to Shake-Ti with a warm smile. "What do you think? Master Shake-Ti."

Although Shake-Ti felt that there was something wrong with Tarkin's words, but now that the Republic had fallen into a total passive state as soon as the war started, she had to admit that at least Tarkin's response plan was reasonable. Now that Master Yoda and Master Windu are not there, Master DepBilaba leads the fleet to the planet of Geonossis to relieve the siege. Now she is the only one in the Jedi Order who temporarily presides over the overall situation, and she really can't give more advice. and scheme.

"I agree to launch a counterattack in the direction of Planet Bespin, if we have the ability to do it." Shaq-Ti said.

"It can be done if we want to," Palpatine said. "Quarter Power Dock has corrected their previous mistakes, and 60 of the newest warships, the Chaser-class battlecruisers, are ready to go."

"But we don't have enough soldiers." Shaq-Ti frowned.

"Hehehe..." Palpatine stood up, "With such a large republic, there is naturally no shortage of passionate men who are willing to fight for the unity of the country. But in this matter, I also hope that the Jedi Order will be able to guide the advance of this army."

Shake-Ti thought for a while and said, "Jedi Master Glyi, Jedi Master Aiden Ward and their apprentices can participate in this expedition."

Palpatine bowed slightly to Shaq-Ti and said, "I can feel the determination of the Jedi Order. Here, on behalf of the trillions of people of the Galactic Republic, thank you."

Shaq-Ti did not suspect him, got up and saluted and turned to leave.
