1065. Master and disciple parting
Obi-Wan-Kenobi came to the Coruscant military zone with many worries, preparing to make final arrangements for his assigned 212th Attack Battalion, and then take away a reconnaissance team to Cerea.
Cerea has been in chaos recently, and the third civil war on the planet is on the verge of breaking out. Therefore, it is normal for Galactic Republic to send troops to intervene and try to trigger a coup on this planet close to Modell Sector.
But in fact, if you think about it, you will know that this mission is obviously a suicide mission.
It is true that Cerea is close to Modell Sector, but it is actually a planet that is deep within the control range of Dawn Star Planet. On the hyperspace route of Cerea, if a large-scale fleet wants to pass, it must pass through Kinyen and the Yago-Dur planet - yes, the planet that Republic 20th Army has been unable to do anything for several months and has no way to break through.
So Galactic Republic wants to cause trouble here, and the result can be imagined...
Of course, it is precisely because of this that Obi-Wan-Kenobi is the most suitable place to 'die'.
But for the team of scouts who were with him, perhaps the best outcome would be to blend into the civilian population and lurk, but the possibility of this was slim. The greater possibility was that they would die in the conflict or even be captured.
Clone Trooper, who was captured by Separatists, ended up very miserable. Because they have no human rights as clones, Separatists will use various methods to conduct various cruel human experiments on them in an attempt to crack the secret of human cloning.
But for Obi-Wan-Kenobi, this is just the beginning.
Because he must go in front of that person - Sith Lord, Archangel of Death who has deceived Galactic Republic for more than ten years, developed his own strength and power in secret, and now holds the power and secrets that can shake the entire galaxy!
And this meeting may be related to the future direction of Galactic Republic, as well as the fate of Jedi Order...
Obi-Wan-Kenobi, whose mind was no longer calm, was thinking wildly while walking in the military zone. Suddenly a young and cheerful voice stopped him, "Obi-Wan! Why are you here?"
Obi-Wan suddenly raised his head, only to find that it was Anakin-Skywalker. Standing behind him was his apprentice Ahsoka-Tano. He looked at the front Fang, but found out that this was the logistics support department of the 501st Legion. He kept his head down and drove all the way. He relied on the Force's perception to avoid an accident. However, he didn't know that he had already driven by Anakin's territory.
"Ah, I'm going to the 212th Assault Battalion." Obi-Wan smiled, walked over and gave Anakin a hug, "What about you? Are you doing anything else here?"
"Haha, yes." Anakin said with a smile, "Ever since General Grievous was defeated in Antar system, he has always wanted to get involved with Galactic Republic Inner Rim again. So he assembled a fleet and seemed to be preparing to attack Delon system's defense line."
"This is a stupid decision." Obi-Wan also laughed, "If this is really his plan, then in the battle of Delon system, we can at least kill at least half of Separatists's mobile fleet in one fell swoop."
"Yes, so Chancellor Palpatine thought there must be something wrong with this. Therefore, he gave me another task - to raid Geonosis again." Anakin said.
As soon as he heard the name Palpatine, Obi-Wan's expression suddenly changed. He took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Why did Chancellor Palpatine give you the order directly?"
"If you want to talk about procedures, this instruction His Excellency the Chancellor has already issued a formal military order through Supreme Strategic Command. Just want to start with it. It was indeed mentioned when he asked me to go to his office to talk a few days ago." Anakin did not doubt that he was there, but said it very normally.
"How good is your relationship with Palpatine...?" Obi-Wan-Kenobi asked with a frown.
Anakin was a little confused and said naturally, "Since I first came to Coruscant, His Excellency the Chancellor has helped me a lot and helped me through a very difficult period. Difficult years. Even in the future, I feel that maintaining this relationship between me and him will also help strengthen the relationship between Jedi Order and the parliament. This should be a good thing, right? Obi-Wan.
When he spoke to the end, his tone was inquiring.
After all, we are all adults, and there is no need to hide it. In fact, the other party can already sense your tone, demeanor, and content. If you still refuse to acknowledge it at this time, there is no point in it.
Obi-Wan-Kenobi organized his words and said as carefully as possible, "Don't you think that Coruscant's political arena has undergone many changes recently?"
"Is this normal? Galactic Republic's political system had many shortcomings before, and Chancellor Palpatine often mentioned these to me in private. He also often felt powerless. Those bloated departments and bureaucrats hindered Galactic Republic The operation of administrative agencies... So, His Excellency the Chancellor will actually discuss many reform plans with me before they are promulgated - although I generally can't give any opinions," Anakin said.
"I mean, the speaker's power seems to be getting bigger and bigger..."
"After all, it is an emergency ruling. When the war is over and Separatists is eliminated, everything will return to normal." Anakin was very disapproving of this matter, and it was obvious that Palpatine had already mentally prepared him in these aspects.
Obi-Wan-Kenobi smiled and gave up on continuing. He changed the subject and said, "I am going to Cerea this time."
"Cerea? Why are you going there?" Anakin was a little surprised, "That's the control area of Separatists!"
"Perhaps a third civil war is brewing on Cerea. I have to go and do something. After all... my master Qui-Gon-Master Jin and I also participated in the two previous civil wars..." Obi-Wan felt a little sad when he thought about what happened back then.
"But after all, this is not the situation more than ten years ago... the current Cerea..."
"So this is a confidential mission, and you should know that you have to shut up. Otherwise, I will go to a military court to charge you with leaking secrets." Obi-Wan smiled and said half-jokingly.
"Ah, the crime of leaking secrets, okay, okay, you win Obi-Wan." Anakin could only nodded. He thought for a while, took out a small metal block from his pocket and stuffed it into Obi-Wan held it in his hand and said seriously, "This is a gadget I carved out of a battleship fragment I picked up on the battlefield when I was free. In Tatooine's garbage dump, this symbol represents good luck."
Obi-Wan looked at the metal block in his hand that was polished very smooth and carved with a strange but indeed exquisite pattern. He nodded heavily, "I will be back! Save Galactic Republic, save Jedi Order!"
Anakin was amused by his appearance. He turned around and said to Ahsoka, "Look at that little devil, Obi-Wan's spirit is what we need to learn! Look, it's another mission to save the galaxy, hahahaha!"
"Well, Master Obi-Wan, I wish you success in saving the galaxy." Ahsoka also joked.
Obi-Wan also patted Anakin on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving. You also have to pay attention. After all, from your position, it is not a good thing to get too close to Palpatine."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Anakin was completely unaware of Obi-Wan's hidden emotions. He turned around with a smile and walked into the barracks, joking with several Clone Troopers.
Only Ahsoka-Tano felt something was not right at this time. She stayed where she was, watching Obi-Wan-Kenobi's retreating back, frowning in thought.
