353. The center of the storm
Galactic Republic Capital, Coruscant.
"There is no doubt, Lord, even if Jedi Knight appears unexpectedly, the situation is still under our control. Trade Federation's robot army has begun to occupy Naboo, it is estimated that after reaching 30 standards at most, Naboo will be ours!" Das-Sidious knelt down on one knee in front of Das-Pregas and said respectfully.
"You did a great job Sidious. After this incident, people will be completely disappointed with Galactic Republic's incompetence, and they will also be full of fear of corporate giants!" Das-Pregas said proudly.
"Yes! At this time, someone must stand up and show that they can control these corporate giants, and this person must be you!" Das-Sidious showed a twisted smile, "Phineas- After Valorum steps down, I will naturally become the speaker, and in order to stabilize the situation, I will also nominate you as Co-Chancellor. Then, when we work together to solve the crisis of Naboo, everything will be unstoppable!"
Das-Pregas looked down at Sidious with an incomprehensible look. There was no expression on his face wearing a metal respirator, but there was a trace of undetectable murderous intent in his eyes.
Sidious knelt on one knee and buried his head deeply, so that Pregas could not see the ferocious look on his expression.
"Okay, now is a critical moment. You should deal with your affairs as soon as possible. Now that Naboo's crisis has broken out, Jedi Order should also be very nervous. Our army... should almost be put on the agenda." Das-Pregas said.
"As you wish, my lord. Oh no... the future Co-Chancellor." Das-Sidious walked back and walked out with a smile.
After a while, Das-Pregas connected to another communication, "Malthael, you come to Coruscant first, maybe... something will happen."
"In what capacity will I come?" asked the other end of the communicator.
"I don't want anyone to know about your arrival, including your new little toy."
"I am keeping that toy in a very wonderful place. When Naboo is done, I think we will get a more interesting toy." Das-Malthael showed a bright smile.
"As soon as possible. After arriving at Coruscant, find a place to hide yourself. Don't come to me. I will summon you when needed." Das-Pregas said coldly.
"As commanded."
Rather, I wish I could! The smile on Das-Malthael's face became even bigger. He was worried about what excuse he needed to find to go to Coruscant. You must know that if he went to Coruscant without getting instructions, Das-Pregas would definitely know about it, and it would be difficult to explain it then.
As a result...Pregas actually took the initiative to go by himself. This was really like falling asleep and meeting the pillow!
Das-Pregas snorted and turned around to get on the hover car. The driver was his most trusted medical robot 11-4D. In the car, Pregas took off his black cloak, revealing a gorgeous outfit underneath. At this moment, Sith Black Demon King's Das-Pregas was no longer there, replaced by the respected business tycoon Hego-Damask II.
Speeder drove all the way to a private club on the 20th floor of Coruscant. There were only two people waiting in the club. Jedi Master Seve Dias, and Jedi Master Dooku.
"Sorry, I'm late. I have to ensure that our meeting will not be discovered." Hego said.
"Oh, that's for sure. Those large companies are extremely rampant now. If they discover our plan, we will all be in danger." A knowing smile appeared on the corner of Master Dooku's mouth. He glanced at Hego, with inexplicable emotions in his eyes.
Seve Dias was the really worried one among the three people present. He kept sitting on the stool shaking his head and sighing.
Hego walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "My friend, the matter is over. Trade Federation has proved Galactic Republic's incompetence with actions, and incompetence comes from powerlessness. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, the war is getting closer to us. This time Trade Federation sent a cargo ship, there is no guarantee that they will not send a warship next time."
Seve Dias lowered his head and said nothing. He took a whole bottle of wine from the table next to him, took a big gulp, and then said, "Building an army means war. Then, I will be the sinner who presses the war switch..."
"Perhaps, Galactic Republic really needs such a sinner, my friend. I have been away from the core of Jedi Order for too long. Now, whether it is me or Hego, or Senator Palpatine who is not here today, it is up to us to come forward. It will cause some unnecessary associations. Among us, only your stance is the purest, Galactic Republic, I need you to be a sinner, please..." Master Dooku sighed, held Diaz's shoulders with his hands, and lowered his head deeply, looking extremely guilty.
Seve Dias squeezed the wine bottle tightly with his hand, "This behavior violates all the Jedi Knight laws I have learned... I..."
With a click, the wine bottle was crushed by him, "... I am willing to be this sinner. Tell me, what should I do?"
"Tomorrow, Parliament Speaker Phineas-Valorum will hold a political rally on the space station near Coruscant to ease the recent tension caused by Naboo. In this rally, Kamino representative Rama Su will participate, and he is also a popular candidate running for the next Prime Minister of Kamino. You can go to him and talk about it." Hego said, "And tell him that Damask Holdings Group will provide full financial guarantee for this project."
"Rama Su is not the prime minister yet. To complete this huge project, Kamino must put all his efforts into it. Can he do it?" Master Dooku asked knowingly and cooperatively.
"As long as this huge order can be obtained, Rama Su will win the election and become the next prime minister." Hego said.
Seve Dias nodded and said firmly, "I will go to Rama Su as the envoy of Jedi Order and tell him that I have placed an order with Kamino on behalf of Jedi Order to secretly manufacture 3 million Clone Trooper for Galactic Republic. And this project is absolutely confidential and no one can know about it."
"In this way, Galactic Republic has hope!" Master Dooku said happily.
Hego and Master Dooku looked at each other and said, "Damask Holdings Group, I am willing to contribute to Galactic Republic."
