33. The dark curtain gradually opens

Coming out of the tower of the Jedi Temple, Obi-Wan Kenobi pulled Qui-Gon Jin, who was hurrying on the road, "Master, is this matter so mindless? To investigate through the Ministry of Commerce of the Republic? I'm afraid I'll be 90 years old by the time they think about it."

"You heard that too, this is the decision of the Supreme Council." Qui Gang shook his head and continued to walk forward.

They passed a room and saw a tall, gray-bearded old man holding a holographic communicator and talking to a man in a gorgeous robe. Sensing that someone was paying attention, the old man moved his fingers lightly, and the door of the room closed by himself.

"It's Master Dooku. He seems to be talking to Senator Palpatine. They've gotten very close recently." Obi-Wan sighed.

"My master has gradually lost trust in the Jedi Order since the battle in the Mandalorian system 10 years ago. Now he prefers to solve problems through political means, and the relationship between him and Senator Palpatine Relationships are not surprising now," Qui-Gon said.

"Okay, then, what about the Endor galaxy? It really doesn't matter?" Obi-Wan asked.

"We'll investigate it ourselves." Qui-Gon Jin boarded the spaceship and set a direct route to the administrative area of ​​Coruscant.

Seeing his master's actions, Obi-Wan smiled and said, "So you don't trust the Supreme Council anymore?"

"It's not that I don't trust them, but because there are so many things happening in the Galactic Republic right now, they don't have the executive power to cover everything." Qui-Gon Jin pointed to the position of the co-pilot, "But we have such executive power. "

"...That's what happened, Mr. Senator." In the room, Master Dooku said indifferently to the holographic projection of Senator Palpatine in front of him.

"Okay, a group of people drove a huge civilian spaceship to colonize Endor, and then they killed the bounty hunters you sent out." Palpatine smiled, "Okay, It looks like it's worth noting, but it really shouldn't be something we need to pay attention to. Maybe 200 years from now, Endor will be a part of the Republic."

"With all due respect, Mr. Senator. Planet Endor is located in a remote area of ​​the outer ring. Even if a sovereign planet rises in that place, the management of the Republic cannot be reached." Master Dooku shook his head and said.

"So that's what we're working on, Master Dooku. To make the Galactic Republic a better, stronger nation. A nation that can do what is forbidden and can use all the resources of the entire galaxy in one sentence. Here we are. On that day, we will be omnipotent." Palpatine said with open arms and longing.

"You are a good person, a different politician, Senator Palpatine. But I have to remind you that it is very difficult for someone like you to live too long in this decadent Galactic Republic." Dooku said solemnly. .

"Even if I am assassinated tomorrow, I will die on the right path. My death will guide the way forward. The Republic needs people like me to die." Palpatine said sternly.

Dooku took a deep breath, bowed and said, "The existence of someone like you means that the Republic is still alive. Thank you, Senator Palpatine."

Palpatine saluted back, "That's what I should do, Master Dooku."

After shutting down communications, Palpatine left the Galactic Senate Building and returned to his modest abode. He took off the gorgeous robe of the representative, put on a gray coarse cloth cloak, and covered his face with a hood. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he left here in a secretly hidden levitating airship through a hidden passage. .

In a dark and complicated corner of the lower level of the Coruscant Industrial Zone, Palpatine stepped off the airship, took out a unique communicator, and connected the communication. A sturdy-looking woman with a tattoo on her face appeared in the holographic projection. When she saw Palpatine, she roared, "You are finally willing to contact me!"

"You'd better look forward to the next time. Maybe I'm in the same mood as today. Your Nebula Front is under my control!" Palpatine's voice became dark and hoarse, like an old beast with a wounded throat. roar.

The woman's temples twitched, apparently suppressing her anger. She lowered her head and said, "Tell me, our goal."

"Rima trade route, after 47 standard hours, a merchant fleet of the trade alliance will transport minerals to supply supplies here. Hijack this batch of minerals and send them to the planet Kalinda, and someone will help you handle the goods." Pal Patin said in a low voice.

"How is the remuneration paid?"

"I will have someone launder the money, and then you will get half of it, 2 million credits. And the other 2 million credits, this is another task: you have to use your name through the bank trust fund. This money goes to my agent."

"As long as you can get the money, it's a small problem. Tell me, who will this credit go to."

"The current president of the Galactic Council, Phoenix Valorum." Palpatine spit out an amazing name in his distorted and greasy voice.

"Hahahaha, very interesting. We took this task."

Dawn planet outer space, the lower deck of the mothership.

The solemn and solemn bugle sounded, lingering above the empty deck. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

There was no military band, the bugle sound was played directly by the mastermind, but it did not affect the tragic atmosphere of the scene at all.

Tang Xiao, wearing a straight military uniform, stood at the top, looking forward while maintaining a military salute. Qi Jian and Clement, the main officials of the Fourth Civilization, stood in the back row, also maintaining a military salute.

In front of them, 100 marines lined up on both sides, with their assault rifles inserted in their bayonets and held high to the sky. There are 42 metal coffins neatly placed in the middle, each of which is etched with a mark of the Fourth Civilization.

This is the mark that has just been designed. The main body is a galaxy shape with only four cantilevers. Two long swords representing force and power are crossed at the back. On the top is the word 4TH., and the bottom is the word, representing the fourth civilization. , or the Fourth Calamity.

These 42 coffins are the 34 fighter pilots and 8 transport ship crew members killed in the bounty hunter attack. This is also the first group of soldiers killed by the Fourth Civilization after it came to the "Star Wars" world, and everyone present understands that this is definitely not the last group.

Tang Xiao took a deep breath and said slowly: "They are all the best fighters, the best pilots. I believe that if they were given an equal chance, each of them could easily kill the incoming bounty. Hunters. But no...they can fly just old fighter jets."

His tone gradually increased, "But even so, they didn't flinch in the slightest! Knowing that their weapons could not penetrate the enemy's shield, knowing that the enemy's laser cannon only needed one shot to destroy them, they didn't flinch in the slightest. Because each of them knows that they are the guardians...the guardians of the last fire of our fourth civilization!"
