The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1386: Tarkinism

Hearing what Tarkin said, Anakin became even more angry. He said sharply, "I never knew that the Galactic Republic still has a tradition of treating people's lives like nothing!"

"Don't be impatient, young Jedi. Of course I have my reasons for doing this." Wilhuff-Tarkin said.

"You'd better have a good reason! Because this blind penetration will cost at least tens of thousands of soldiers!" Anakin Skywalker said, "The situation in Izzy is unknown, and you don't know You know where the separatists are hiding their power! You also don’t know if they have any hidden firepower points! You don’t even know what the building is like, what the terrain is like! Just like that, you sent the transport ship directly there!”

"Do you think, according to the current progress, how long will it take us to completely capture the city of Izzy?" Tarkin asked rhetorically.

"At most 5 days, the city of Izzy will be under our complete control." Anakin Skywalker replied.

"I remember that the time we agreed on was 3 days." Tarkin said lightly.

"The situation in Izzy City is very complicated, and a large number of civilians have not been evacuated, so we must act with caution!" Anakin Skywalker said.

But Tarkin shook his head and said, "Do you think this will have a perfect result? No, not at all, Anakin. You may think that your actions are saving their lives, but in fact, they Do you think so? I am also paying attention to the situation on your ground battlefield. In just 3 hours, there have been tens of thousands of shootings and explosions. Do you know the reason?"

He glanced at Anakin, and asked himself, "Is it because of different ideas? Is it because they regard us as invaders? Yes, it is true. But there are so many planets in the Milky Way, you can guarantee that every planet is right. Aren't we hostile? No. So, you're always going to be faced with a situation like this. Either our own soldiers are killed in an attack, the battle plan is delayed, or more civilian casualties are caused. Are you okay with that? which one?"

Anakin said in a deep voice: "We are the Galactic Republic! We should take responsibility for this! This is our responsibility, whether it is for the soldiers of the Republic or the Jedi Order!"

"It's irresponsible, even evasive, for you to say that. Because you haven't really faced this issue at all!" Tarkin said, "You keep saying that you are responsible, so what you mean is that you would rather let the Republic Are soldiers making more sacrifices, delaying our battle plan, and allowing separatism to continue to flourish?!"

"It's not like that!" Anakin said.

"Do you think these civilians will appreciate you? No! They will only regard this as your weakness! Their resistance will come wave after wave, and you will have to suppress it again and again! In the process, whether it is you Or these resistance forces will pay more casualties and more prices! Who can blame this? Can you blame their strong will to resist?" Tarkin said sharply, "No! This can only be blamed on you! Because you His weakness gave them hope!"

"This is just a necessary process! If it fails once, it will be twice, and if it fails twice, it will be three times! I will represent the Galactic Republic, and I will eventually resolve all resistance and usher in the prosperous age before the millennium! Peace will eventually come!" Anakin said loudly.

"I'm glad to see you say that, but you're using the wrong direction, Anakin." Tarkin said coldly, "You shouldn't give them hope! You should give them fear! Give them deterrence! Let them be When even the slightest thought of resistance arises, they will think of the terrible result! This will make them dare not resist, dare not act! This is the real once and for all!"

"Fear should never be a tool of the Galactic Republic, much less a tool of the Jedi Knights!" Anakin argued.

"Give them hope, and they will resist again and again. But give them fear, and they can only hide in a corner and tremble... So, do you choose hope or fear?" Tarkin said: "Just like this time, if you Is it useful to advance step by step and finally capture the city of Izzy? Do you think they will stop resisting? No! You only have to beat them! Beat them thoroughly! Let them be afraid! Let them see how to stop the army of the Republic The price to pay for moving forward!"

He pointed to the screen next to the screen that was constantly flashing red dots representing the enemy, and said: "If killing a person and hanging his head on a street lamp can suppress a riot, then I will not hesitate choice to do so.”

"I am responsible for the ground operations on Onderon! I will naturally deal with what happened!" Anakin-Skywalker's face was already gloomy.

Tarkin smiled coldly, and said: "Unfortunately, some unexpected incidents have occurred, so I decided to exercise the power of the governor to make favorable adjustments to the development of the war situation."

"Acting Governor!" Anakin reminded.

"But that's also the Governor, isn't it?" Tarkin sneered, and pressed a few buttons on the communicator, "Let me introduce you to someone, you should know him. It was he who brought us the battle Transfer."

In the holographic projection on the side, another person appeared.

He has thirty hoes, a cloak on his body, a hideous scar on his face, a fierce face, and sharp rays of light in his eyes.

"Saw-Gerrera!" Anakin was shocked.

"Hello, General Skywalker." Saw Gerrera said coldly, "I am very pleased that you have finally returned with the fleet."

"I said, I will solve the problem of Onderon Planet." Anakin said.

"Very good, so I also choose to help you." Saw Gerrera said.

"Then you should come to me! Just like your sister Stella Gerrera!" Anakin had a gloomy face, and he felt that the appearance of Sol Gerrera seemed to mean something else.

"Hahahaha!" So-Gerrera laughed loudly, "Do you still believe in my cowardly virgin sister? Is she still hiding in the sewer, doing thankless things, going out one by one? What about Yunmin? She doesn't even know what she should do! And I believe, she will turn against you soon. In the end, she will accomplish nothing."

"I never think that saving civilians is a mistake! Moreover, Stella has given us a lot of help, because of her intelligence, we can accurately respond to the movement of the separatist army!" Anakin said.

A strange expression appeared on Saw Gerrera's face, "But I can let you occupy the planet Onderon in one day!"
