Chapter 4837 [ ]

Of course, Palpatine did this on purpose.

On the one hand, the peace faction still accounts for the majority of the parliament, among which Padmé, the senator from Naboo, has the greatest influence and the most resolute attitude.

His alignment with the peace faction helped consolidate his support.

On the one hand, although the separatist movement is now in full swing and its power is so great that it seems that it can flatten the Galactic Republic overnight.

But the fact is that compared to the Republic, which has 400 billion planets and 3.2 million galaxies with intelligent races, the thousands of galaxies of the separatist movement are nothing but a minor problem.

If the Republic takes it a little more seriously, the separatist movement will be defeated. Therefore, Palpatine stands on the side of the peace faction and advocates resolving the issue through negotiations in order to create time for the separatist movement.

"If they really break with us and the negotiations fail, then the current size of the Jedi Knights will not be enough to protect the Republic," Mace Windu reminded Palpatine.

He himself is more in favor of armaments.

"Master Yoda, do you think war is really possible?" Palpatine looked at Master Yoda and asked.

Master Yoda is the most respected elder of the Jedi Council and the strongest master of the Force. He possesses many superpowers such as the ability to foresee the future and telepathy.

"Well, the dark forces cover everything, and I can't see through the fog and see the future clearly." Master Yoda shook his head and said.

He also wanted to foresee the future, but the future was shrouded in darkness, which affected his ability to foresee the future. He knew that the Sith organization had made a comeback and was behind it.

They obscured the future from his view.

……

Just then, the holographic projector sounded, "Mr. Speaker, Senator Padmé Amidala has arrived."

"Please let her in," Palpatine said immediately.

Then, Padmé, Jar Jar Binks, Captain Fute and others came in.

It turns out that Jar Jar Binks became a hero of the Gungans and even the planet Naboo because of his outstanding performance in the Naboo Counterattack, and thus embarked on the path of politics.

He is now a senior official of Naboo stationed on Coruscant, assisting Senator Padmé in her work.

"Senator Amidala, I heard what happened on the tarmac. It's a blessing that you were not injured." Master Yoda said to Padmé.

"Thank you for your concern." Padme nodded. "Do you know who is behind this?"

"Intelligence indicates that it was done by disgruntled spice collectors on Naboo," said Mace Windu.

In addition to beautiful scenery and popular genetic medicines, Naboo also has a specialty: spices. The spices produced on Naboo are very popular in the Milky Way, but collecting them is quite destructive to the environment.

Therefore, in recent years, Naboo has imposed strict restrictions on spice collection, which has also caused dissatisfaction among spice collectors.

"I think Count Dooku is the real culprit behind this." Padmé did not easily believe Master Windu's words, but spoke up.

……

Count Dooku is the leader of the Separatists, and he has always advocated war with the Galactic Republic.

Padmé opposed the Republic's military expansion and advocated resolving the issue through peaceful negotiations.

This was not in Count Dooku's interest, so Padmé believed he would send someone to assassinate her.

"Count Dooku is a political idealist, but not a murderer." Mace Windu waved his hand and said, "Count Dooku was once a Jedi Knight. He would not resort to assassination. It is not in line with his character." Count Dooku was originally a Jedi Knight, but later announced his withdrawal from the Jedi Order because he could not stand the corruption of the Republic and the Jedi code of conduct.

But the Jedi Order did not know that Count Dooku had already defected to the Sith, so they believed that he was leading the separatist movement simply because of different political views, and therefore were willing to speak for him.

Padmé was deeply speechless when she heard him say this.

Count Dooku was already the leader of the Separatists. He instigated other galaxies to become independent and repeatedly engaged in conspiracies and sabotage. Yet, Mace Windu actually spoke for him.

A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water!

"But there is one thing I can confirm, Senator Amidala, you are in a very dangerous situation now." Yoda said to Padme with a compassionate look on his face.

He could sense the shadow hanging over Padmé.

"Master Yoda, may I ask you to send Jedi Knights to protect Senator Amidala?" At this time, Speaker Palpatine spoke.

"Mr. Speaker, please forgive me for being frank, but I don't think..." Padmé immediately refused when she heard it.

"Has the situation deteriorated to this point?" Palpatine interrupted her and spoke for her. "No, I don't think so, Senator. The situation is very serious now. And I can't accept the price of losing you.

I also understand that increasing vigilance will cause inconvenience to your work and life. But if it were someone you know, such as Qui-Gon Jinn or Obi-Wan Kenobi..."

"Sure, he just came back from a mission and has time now." Master Yoda nodded.

"Promise me, my lady, I can't lose you." Speaker Palpatine looked at Padmé again.

After hearing what he said, Padmé had no choice but to nod.

……

That night, Padmé expressed her gratitude to Xiang Nan through hyperspace communication.

"Anni, thank you so much for giving me the armor. It really helped me a lot." She said gratefully.

She couldn't imagine how sad she would be if Kodai and others were killed in the explosion.

"Hearing you say that, I am both happy and sad." Xiang Nan said, "I am happy that I can help you, but I am sad that you are really facing a threat and I cannot be by your side to protect you."

"Anni... you've given me enough protection." Padmé felt a little embarrassed when she heard him say that.

"It's far from enough." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Okay, you should be more careful. I don't think they will give up easily."

"I know. I will be careful." Padme nodded. "Master Yoda also sent Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to protect me."

"That's good. I believe that with their protection, you will be safe." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"I trust them, too." Padmé nodded. "Okay, I'm going to get to work. I'm also going to contact other senators to jointly propose a motion against military expansion."

"Okay, I wish you success." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

However, Xiang Nan knew that Padmé's case was destined to not be approved.

There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, the Republic is indeed facing the threat of war, which it cannot cope with with the existing military forces.

On the one hand, Palpatine and his master Darth Plagueis have been planning and strategizing for so many years, and in the end they are going to have a big fight.

Chaos is the ladder to success. Only by starting a war and through war can Palpatine gain the greatest power.

Otherwise, once peace is restored, he, the Speaker of the House, will be ousted first.
