The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1490, Order No. 66 (Execute Order 66) (7)

Upon hearing what Palpatine said, Anakin Skywalker's expression changed suddenly. Originally, he would not have connected these two things, but now under Palpatine's nonchalant guidance, he immediately thought of another possibility——

This is a means of exemption!

If this is true, then the Jedi Order had premeditated!

Palpatine also added another knife at the right time, "Then a few days after the document establishing the clone army was signed, Master Seve-Dias went to the planet Felucia to perform a mission. Shot down, killed on the spot—and who, then, shot down a fighter jet of a mighty Jedi Master?"

"Shut up?" Anakin Skywalker paled.

"How the Jedi Order planned this matter, even I don't understand now. That's why I asked the Jedi Order to open their collection." Palpatine said, he sighed, "So, I I'm sorry. Because the things involved in this matter are too big, I didn't dare to show it until now... You know, Anakin, I'm scared..."

"Afraid? You are the speaker of the Galactic Republic." Anakin Skywalker said.

"Do you know? If I took this evidence and questioned the Jedi Knights when the war just broke out, then I might not live for three days. The Jedi Knights would kill me without hesitation. It's the Sith Lord's reason...then they will take over this war, and I'm really afraid to know what will happen at that time..." Palpatine said here, his voice gradually weakened, and slightly trembling.

He paused for a while, then swallowed heavily, mustered up his courage, and his voice became louder, "But now, I have the help of people with insight in the Republic! I have the help of Ni! Then, I can Survived and continued to lead the Republic in the right direction. So I'm really sorry I didn't tell you the truth until now..."

"I...I don't know..." Anakin Skywalker took a few steps back, he was completely bewildered and didn't know what to do.

"This galaxy is full of dangers, Anakin." Palpatine's voice suddenly became gloomy, "The Geth are killing tens of billions of people in the northern border of the Republic! Separatism still occupies half of the galaxy, Du The power in the hands of Earl Ku is comparable to that of the Galactic Republic, while his ally, the Dead Angel, is always planning in secret. As I said before, the Dead Angel has conquered the planet Koliban, and now he has obtained the countless Support from the Sith Emperor! Do you know what is buried on Korriban?"

Palpatine said in a low voice, "...the kings of the Sith Empire of all dynasties and countless powerful Sith Lords are buried! They are real existences that have been at war with the Galactic Republic for thousands of years! The hatred of the Galactic Republic is deeply rooted and unforgettable! And the Angels of Death who conquered them will undoubtedly inherit their will—destroy the Galactic Republic!"

"So, the dead angel is the greatest enemy of the Republic! But... why the Jedi Knights don't attack such a dangerous person, but always target me? Is it because I am the Speaker of the Republic? Whose way am I blocking? Is it?" Palpatine's voice was already low and deep like a devil's moaning, making people involuntarily follow his words to think.

Anakin Skywalker lowered his head, he didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do, just now, he didn't even know where he should go.

"It's time for Anakin to make a decision, just as I should make a decision now." Palpatine stood up and put two communicators in front of Anakin, one black and one white.

"What is this?" Anakin couldn't understand Palpatine's approach.

"In such a crisis, we must win this war! And in order to win this war, we must unite the strength of everyone in the Galactic Republic! If we continue to fight like this, then the final result will only be destruction! Just like in my dream As you can see in it. So, let this infighting come to an end...with the victory of one side as the result. Let us bet everything - including our own lives, to believe that the victor can serve the Galactic Republic , bring victory!" said Palpatine.

"End the strife? Leave a victor? I mean..."

"Yes, choose." After Palpatine finished speaking, he pushed the two communicators in Anakin's direction.

"What the hell is this?" Anakin began to have some fear on his face.

"Order 65 and Order 66." Palpatine pointed to the two communicators respectively, the black one is Order 66, and the white one is Order 65, "This is the second emergency order implanted in the clone troopers - 66 The order is to confirm the treason of the Jedi Knights and arrest them. And the order No. 65 is to confirm the treason of the Speaker of the Republic and then arrest him."

Hearing this, Anakin's face changed drastically. The two communicators in front of him could actually influence the fate of the entire Galactic Republic!

Of course, if you tell Tang Xiao this, he will tell you that sometimes the things that control the whole world and even the universe are so simple and absurd, just like the nuclear bomb launch password of a certain country was set to eight 0s for a long time.

The end of the world is actually very close to us.

"This... shouldn't we wait for the parliament to discuss and decide?" Anakin asked.

"If you wait until the council discusses the results, then the Jedi Order will undoubtedly know—they have many eyeliners in the council, and naturally there is one you are very familiar with." Palpatine said, "and fortunately Yes, I still have the right to make emergency rulings, and I can bypass the parliament and directly issue orders on issues that are related to the life and death of the Galactic Republic. And this kind of efficiency is actually what I have been pursuing all along.”

He patted the white communicator lightly again, "As for Order 65, once you make a judgment, I will be in front of you, and you can execute this order at any time, which is reasonable and legal."

"Why? Why leave such a matter to me to decide!!" Anakin Skywalker finally couldn't stand it anymore, he stood up and said loudly.

"This is your mission, Chosen One..." Palpatine's voice twisted.

PS: There seems to be a chapter in the previous article that said that I misremembered the order. It should be Order 65 instead of Order 67 that arrested the speaker... Order 67 is a spoof order in Lego Star Wars, which is to make clones dance.
