The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1165 : The Northern Territory (3)

Fan Ke rubbed his forehead, he took out a delicate metal box from the drawer, took a small piece of wood the size of a fingernail from it, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed.

Then his breathing became heavy and his heart began to beat faster, and it took about half a minute before he opened his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Master Sass-Tin, now I get a headache when I hear the geth..."

"Refined Diesel bark..." Suss-Ting naturally recognized this thing, "With all due respect, Your Excellency Governor, no matter how much this kind of thing is advertised, it will have no negative effects, but at the very least, once people become dependent, Then it’s hard to tell. After all, it’s still a spice.”

"I didn't want to do this in front of the Jedi Knights, but recently I have been under too much pressure. In the past three months, we lost 7 planets. According to preliminary statistics, the number of victims has exceeded 100 million. Ah yes, This kind of Diesel bark, I had someone use the sap of Pisces grass for a second refinement, and the effect was diluted by more than half, which is suitable for an old man like me." Fan Ke said.

"It's also because of this that I didn't perform my duties as a Jedi Knight." Seth-Ting smiled. He is not a pedantic person, and he also understands the pressure on Governor Fan Ke under the current situation.

Of course, except for nobles like him, it is difficult for anyone to afford the expense of refining the bark of the Diesel bark like Fan Ke.

"Ah, then I have to thank you. Hehehehe..." Fan Ke also laughed.

It has to be said that a common enemy is the best catalyst for friendship, and the rampage of the Geths has given them a lot of common language between a Jedi knight and a nobleman.

"What about the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army?" Sass-Ting asked again.

Fan Ke shook his head and said: "No, the Supreme Strategic Command rejected this plan. The main force of the Ninth Army and Tenth Army must still be invested in the counterattack plan. Their operational goal is to destroy the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Army. The group is separated from other separatist-controlled areas."

"The threat of the geth is right in front of them, and they're still thinking about it?" Sass-Tin frowned.

Fan Ke snorted coldly, "It's more than that! The Supreme Strategic Command also asked us to cooperate with the actions of the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army, and put enough pressure on the Interstellar Banking Association. And they also made it clear that we should deal with Mike Keto planet attacks."

"This is simply absurd! The joint fleet of the Fourth Group and the Interstellar Banking Association is stationed near the planet Megeto. Even under normal circumstances, we must be cautious when launching such a large-scale battle, not to mention there are Jie Threats are around the corner!" Sass-Tin said.

"The statement of the Supreme Strategic Command is that if necessary, we can lure the Geths and let them attack the planet Megeeto." Fan Ke said.

"Inducing the Geth to attack the planet Megeto?! Didn't those people think about the catastrophe this would cause?! The person who proposed this plan should be arrested immediately!!" Sass-Ting roared.

Fan Ke sighed, "There are some inside information, and... well, we didn't say anything about this. The plan to attack the planet Mequito is more like a...political request. The top leaders of the Republic should want to The Interplanetary Banking Association has been attacked."

"The Interplanetary Banking Association has been courting between the Republic and the Separatists! It is necessary to attack them! But this does not mean that we should ignore the strategic plan of the entire northern border, let alone induce The geth are coming for a massacre!!" Sass-Tin yelled.

"This matter, I got a little information from some of my personal relationships... this meaning comes from a higher level." Fan Ke said pointedly.

"Higher level?" Suss-Ting wanted to say something, but his face suddenly changed.

The higher-level existences than the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic can already be counted on one hand.

Although he has been fighting far away in the northern region recently, as a member of the top twelve members of the Jedi Order, he can naturally know many secrets that ordinary Jedi knights cannot touch.

For example, he knows that just recently, the Jedi Knights have secretly increased the monitoring of the Congress of the Republic, and the Jedi Knights will send people to attend almost every meeting of the Congress.

Moreover, since the Congress of the Republic previously passed a bill, agreeing that the Republic Fleet could carry out limited orbital bombing of targets with the permission of the Jedi Knights, the Jedi Knights have also adopted a tit-for-tat strategy—they began to monitor every day more closely. A Republic Fleet strictly reviews every decision made by the Republic Fleet Commander, and when necessary, directly exercises the power of a Jedi Knight to veto the fleet commander's decision with one vote.

On the surface, it seems that doing so is more arbitrary and seems to be contrary to the purpose of the Jedi Order, but in fact, doing so has reduced the situation of some Republic Fleet commanders making some outrageous actions.

Of course, at its root, this is indeed against the purpose of the Jedi Order.

Although Sass-Ting has not been able to understand some of the reasons behind it, it is obvious that this is a game between the Congress of the Republic and the Jedi Order, and from the current point of view, there may be no winner in this game...

And now, Sass-Ting once again heard some higher-level instructions from Fan Ke to induce Geth to attack the planet Megeto? If this is really what the top council of the Republic meant, are these people crazy? !

"This is impossible... If we really do this, we will all be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!" Sass-Ting said in a deep voice.

"Personally, I agree with you very much, Master Sass-Tin. But now the dilemma we face with the Eighth Army, if not resolved, will allow the North to fall into the hands of Separatists or even geth If there is a massacre, then we will also be nailed to the pillar of shame in history." Fan Ke said.

"Megeeto Planet... Interstellar Banking Association, is there any movement now?" Sass-Ting asked.

"The next co-chairman election of the Interstellar Banking Association will be held in the second half of this year. And the situation behind this election may be more complicated than we imagined..." Fan Ke lowered his voice, as if afraid of someone eavesdropping, although This is impossible. "Within the Interstellar Banking Association, the contradiction between the planet Mulinster and the planet Scipio has become very intensified, and it is likely to completely erupt in this election..."

"So what does this have to do with the planet Mequito?" Sass-Ting asked with a frown.

"Because the planet Megeto is also the headquarters of the Fourth Group. And you should also know that although the Fourth Group did not say it explicitly, Gross Shelbya is almost definitely on the side of the separatists... in Under such circumstances, let us attack the planet Megeeto to put pressure on them, there is no doubt that the Republic is ready to choose sides, and at the same time, they are also forcing the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Group to choose sides..." Fan Ke said.

Seth-Ting pondered: "But if the Geth is involved in this matter, I think it may be more complicated than we imagined... The 'higher level' you mentioned may see farther..."
