967. Secret investigation
"Investigating Rush-Clovis, the representatives of the InterGalactic Banking Clan?" Mace-Master Windu frowned, "Compared with Jedi Order, it would be more appropriate for the Republic Intelligence Department to investigate this matter, right?"
Sheev-Palpatine shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, no. InterGalactic Banking Clan is too powerful, and to put it bluntly, they are too rich. Within Galactic Republic, I cannot trust anyone except Jedi Order... because anyone can succumb to the power of money, and only Jedi Order is the one I can trust wholeheartedly from the beginning to the end."
For this reasonable flattery, Master Windu was still very useful. He nodded and said, "Then, you should have some information, right?"
Even though he was always trying to flatter everyone, Master Windu unconsciously responded with honorifics. Compared with his cold attitude toward everyone after being seriously injured, his attitude had softened a lot.
Palpatine said, "Actually, this is one of the reasons why I came to you."
He paused and seemed a little hesitant, but still made up his mind and continued, "I am actually very reluctant to say this matter, but InterGalactic Banking Clan's matter is a big deal after all, and a little carelessness can even cause Galactic Republic The country will be shaken by this... So... Well... Well, Padmé-Senator Amidala, once had an underground lover's relationship with Congressman Rush-Clovis."
"Huh?" Master Windu's eyes widened. He never expected that what came out of the speaker's mouth would be such a piece of gossip.
"Okay. So, it's best to let Padmé-Senator Amidala do this..." Sheev-Palpatine said.
"But... what does this have to do with us Jedi Order? Can't you just say that to Padmé directly?" Master Windu asked.
Sheev-Palpatine said seriously, "Rush-Clovis is very sure that he is Separatists, so the investigation against him must be very difficult and even full of dangers. I can't let Padmé-Senator Amidala went into danger. However, I remember that Anakin-Skywalker had protected her for a period of time before the war broke out, so I found an excuse to bring Anakin back and continue to protect Padmé, so as not to arouse more suspicion."
He continued, "And I really can't tell Padmé about this matter directly. You know, Master Windu, after all, I am the speaker, and as the speaker, I must integrate every different voice in the parliament and then make a decision. This means that I must not have a position, or I must not show my position to others. So if I go to Padmé about this matter, maybe it will send her some bad messages."
Master Windu nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, His Excellency the Chancellor. It's just... now Anakin-Skywalker, Tibrin..."
As he spoke, he sighed, "That's right...Tibrin."
Palpatine also sighed and shook his head, "Yes, Tibrin..."
Just as Sheev-Palpatine and Master Windu were worried, Tibrin at this moment is simply a hell on earth!
After the Dictator Sulibran-Tu of the planet was publicly executed by Priestess, the Ishi-Tibu people on the entire Tibrin were in a state of fanaticism.
They reveled in their liberation, cursed Galactic Republic, and unleashed all the anger they had accumulated under Dictator's reign of terror.
After receiving the assistance from Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Ixi-Tibu people immediately threw themselves into the battle against Republic army.
At this moment, in the outer space of the planet, Republic Fleet is constantly entangled with the fleet of Selurite. However, the Amarr Empire battleship used by Selurite is like brown sugar, which cannot be cut into pieces or thrown away. After the two new Doomsday Battlefield-class battlecruiser were put into the battlefield, the fleets of both sides began to draw closer, and the stalemate continued like this.
On the ground battlefield, 501st Legion led by masters Anakin-Skywalker and Ahsoka-Tano and 41st Storm Legion led by masters Roan-Shryne could only struggle to hold on.
On the planet, Confederacy of Independent Systems's robot legion and numerous B-1 combat robots continue to attack Republic clone army's defense line. And they also got the J-1 heavy-duty Proton Cannon from the Technological Alliance, which posed a great threat to Acclamator-class assault ship of Galactic Republic.
After arriving, Anakin-Skywalker launched a raid and destroyed several J-1 heavy Proton Cannons, but soon Tibrin Acting Governor of the Planet, fallen Jedi master Sola-Balk took action himself.
In the duel between Lightsaber, Anakin-Skywalker was defeated by Sola-Balk. Fortunately, The cooperation of Ahsoka-Tano and Roan-Shryne was able to save the day, but the remaining J-1 heavy Proton Cannon could not be destroyed.
Their remaining two ships, Acclamator-class assault ship, had to leave the attack range of Proton Cannon, but at the same time, this also meant that they could no longer provide ground fire support.
After that, Ahsoka-Tano got a nano-virus. Together with Anakin, she quietly implanted the virus into the main control computer of the Confederacy of Independent Systems robot army, allowing the nano-virus to spread on the planet's network.
This virus paralyzed most of the robots. After that, Clone Army seized the opportunity to launch an attack and advanced dozens of kilometers towards the capital of Tibrin.
However, Sola-Balk also responded quickly. Like Dawn Star Planet, he relaxed Confederacy of Independent Systems's rule not to allow the planet's local army to participate in the war, and agreed that the Ixi-Tibu people would directly participate in the war.
The fanatical Ixi-Tibu people quickly mobilized an army of millions and began to launch a crazy counterattack against the Clone Army. At this moment, the troops led by Anakin-Skywalker have been suppressed again. After all, there are too many enemies, and Tibrin is very close to Dolla Planet and Gerrenthum Planet under the control of Fourth Civilization. However, these two planets are now the key rear for them to launch the Eriadu system strategy operation.
Therefore, Fourth Civilization provided a large number of weapons to the Ixi-Tibu people, as well as some vehicle units including Vulture Vehicle, Warthog off-road vehicle, M-9 Wolverine half-track anti-aircraft Chariot, and even provided 30 Siege Tank!
Although Clone Trooper is extremely elite, as long as the firepower is strong enough, it can somewhat close the combat effectiveness gap between Ixi-Tibu and them.
This battle was very cruel, and the Ishi-Tibu people suffered nearly 60,000 casualties in just one week of offensive.
Finally, with the efforts of Fourth Civilization computer experts, the nanovirus was cracked, and Tibrin's robot army began to take action again!
