Not long after the high-level meeting held in the high tower of the Jedi Temple ended, the 'Second Republic Army', with clones as its main source of troops and Jedi Knights as its generals, was still under the control of Senator Palpatine and his representatives. With the joint efforts of the neutral faction and the Jedi Order, which symbolized the strongest force and security agency of the Republic, it was voted by the Galactic Parliament and approved by a narrow vote, and was officially created.
soon,
The first clone army from the planet Kamino, hundreds of thousands of clones with almost identical faces but different age, body shape or hairstyle, were eagerly transported. Arriving at Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic!
Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the generals who were Jedi Knights, they gradually took over some of the security tasks on the capital planet Coruscant that had been taken over by the Marines of the Federation of Heroes in order to maintain order.
In addition to the clone army, after freezing a considerable part of the Trade Federation's assets and factories, the Parliament was able to successfully pass a resolution and begin to tailor a large number of new equipment and the kind of equipment that already existed for the 'Second Republic Army' The new Republic assault ship was sampled and manufactured by the 'Roseanne Heavy Engineering' factory.
However, even if it is an army reorganized to resist the increasingly powerful 'Great Republic Army' composed of the Supreme Chancellor and the Federation of Heroes as the main body, even if they have a large number of clone soldiers who do not need to be recruited and trained, but In the near future, the 'Second Republic Army' will definitely still be unable to form a certain scale and combat effectiveness.
so,
Now the stability of the planet Coruscant, and even the territory of the Galactic Republic, still needs to be maintained by the 'Great Republic Army' led by the Federation of Heroes! The battles with the warships of the Federation of Independent Systems, which are running around the world and fighting guerrilla warfare, are also done by those terrifying 'T'-type giant ships that have suffered zero casualties so far. The 'Second Republic Army' is Without producing enough warships and equipment, there will definitely be no way to carry out any combat mission.
At least, in the next two or three years, the hastily established army will not be taken seriously by anyone for the time being. However, no matter how strong the clone army from the planet Kamino is, it will not be able to do so in terms of output and various external factors. Under the constraints of conditions, they still have a long way to go.
Similarly, when the Second Republic Army had just begun preparations and formation, many Jedi Knights and Masters who needed to serve as generals in the Jedi Order were relatively free and had enough time to stay in Rest or learn to practice in their temple, like the Jedi Master named Qui-Gon Jinn?
At this time, in a training room in the Jedi Temple, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Jedi Knight Obi-Wan were conducting special training on a young Anakin who was officially accepted by the elders and became a Jedi apprentice. …
'ah! ! '
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a cry of pain, and then some kind of metal product fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
"Anakin!"
"I've said it many times, you have to feel it with your heart and let the Force tell you what to do, instead of simply believing what you see with your eyes! Otherwise, I'm afraid you will never be able to become a qualified Jedi Knight !”
Then, when a suspended instrument that fired low-power explosive lasers successfully broke through Anakin's lightsaber defense in just a few seconds, and hit the opponent's body, causing a cry of pain, Qui-Gon Jin shook his head. Shaking his head, he waved his hand to drive away the suspended metal ball, and at the same time severely reprimanded his apprentice who performed poorly.
"..."
"I'm sorry, teacher, I was distracted just now..."
After relaxing his body and letting the small lightsaber in his hand dissipate to avoid hurting himself, Anakin lowered his head and apologized obediently.
"Anakin..."
"How can you think about other things during training? Well, tell me now, what were you thinking about just now?!"
He sighed helplessly and shook his head. Qui-Gon Jin felt that today's training should end here, because if it continues like this, it probably won't have much effect. It's better to use the remaining time to do better. Want to talk to this little apprentice of yours?
Now, he finally understood why the elders of the Jedi Council had been reluctant to accept Anakin.
Although the other party's talent is indeed very high and he is probably the person in the prophecy, due to his old age and relatively many distracting thoughts, coupled with his many years of being a slave on Tatooine, he has developed some A very bad habit... Therefore, in comparison, in some aspects, it is not as good as those apprentices of the same age who have poor talents but have been trained and trained by the Jedi Temple since they were babies. good.
"teacher……"
"I was just thinking, is it really useful for us to train in this stupid thing of splitting bullets? That Head of State Anne has said it many times. She said that our approach does not make much sense and is used to practice reactions. The strength is okay, but if you use other weapons during the battle, such as a blaster, the effect may be a hundred times better?"
Anakin still has a vivid memory of the Sith warrior who wielded a light blade to chop bullets, and then was beaten to the point where his brains exploded and red and white splattered all over them!
Of course, there are also the Jedi Order in which more than two hundred Jedi Knights and Masters attacked the Federation of Independent Systems headquarters and were completely annihilated by cheap B1 combat droids armed with cheap E-5 blaster rifles?
"!!"
"Anakin, your ideas are dangerous..."
Qui-Gon Jin originally wanted to reprimand the other party directly, but when he saw that his other apprentice Obi-Wan looked a little wrong, he had to sigh in his heart and explained again:
"Indeed, if you use firearms or other equipment, Jedi Knights can indeed gain stronger power..."
"but!"
"The essence of the Force should not be applied to combat. The fundamental purpose of our Jedi practice and training is to better understand and study the Force and the nature of the universe!"
"If you use firearms excessively, it means that you value force too much, you will be overly addicted to violence and power, and you will probably fall into the dark side of the force, and you will be enveloped by the dark force. Like my mentor..."
Speaking of his mentor Count Dooku, Qui-Gon Jin couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"so!"
"Anakin, and Obi-Wan, you must remember that the original purpose of Jedi training is definitely not to become stronger, nor to promote and show off force! If you cannot understand this, you are destined to fail in The further the Jedi goes along the way, they are destined not to become an existence like Master Yoda or Master Windu.”
If Qui-Gon Jinn himself had some disapproval of the various dogmas of the Jedi Temple and Jedi Knights before, and liked to deviate from the norm, and always liked to challenge the opinions of the elders of the Jedi Council, then now, after After being imprisoned by his teacher and causing countless Jedi Knights and Masters to die tragically on the planet Geonosis, he finally understood some things.
Because the power of a Jedi Knight should indeed be limited and restrained. Otherwise, his teacher, the former Jedi Master Count Dooku who rebelled and brought trouble to the entire Galactic Republic, is a lesson learned from the past! After all, the various abilities of the Jedi far exceed those of ordinary people. Once used for evil or abused and used for violence, the damage they can cause is extremely terrifying!
"Yes! The teacher taught you yes!"
Obi-Wan didn't dare to refute, and quickly lowered his head to answer.
"oh……"
Anakin also agreed and lowered his head again.
However, although he agreed on the surface, he seemed to disagree in his heart? Otherwise, he wouldn't have reached out and summoned a ferocious-looking little insect from the pile of clothes he placed on the ground next to him, letting it crawl and tease him freely.
"..."
Seeing that his little apprentice didn't seem to listen to his words, Qui-Gon Jin didn't have any good ideas for a while. After all, the other party had only followed him for a short time, and he was indeed a bit old to become a Jedi Knight. , so it is normal to have his own ideas. He can only find ways to slowly remedy and adjust it in the future.
"Well……"
"Anakin, there are some things I have to remind you..."
"I seem to be able to vaguely feel some kind of terrible aura from this insect. It is probably not something you can control easily. Therefore, the teacher suggests that if you can, you'd better give it to that insect as soon as possible." Send it back to the Head of State Anne?"
Before preparing to leave, Qui-Gon Jinn looked at the centipede-like multi-legged insect crawling around on Anakin's hand. After thinking about it, Qui-Gon Jinn still shook his head and sighed and persuaded the other person to do this. One sentence.
He had seen the other party's 'interesting' little pet two days ago, and if it hadn't been given to the other party by the little head of state Anne, he would have sternly scolded the other party and ordered the other party to throw it away or dispose of it! Because the act of taming a pet should not happen to a Jedi apprentice, even if the object is just a small insect!
"But……"
"Teacher, it listens to my words. I don't think it is dangerous at all..."
Little Anakin was a little dissatisfied with his teacher's warning, because his pet bug was still so small and not like a big monster like the Sarlacc on Tatooine, so how could it be dangerous? ?
"And..."
"Now, Your Excellency, Head of State Anne, she is said to have gone out with the fleet to fight against the bad guys of the Federation of Independent Systems a few days ago. She is not here on Coruscant now. Even if I want to, there is definitely no way to return the gift. of."
If Anakin was a little resistant and disliked the little bug named 'larva' at first, after he released it from the bottle and interacted with it for a while, he suddenly changed his attention. , I feel that I really like this little bug who seems to have a high level of intelligence, can understand most of his words, and at the same time obeys his orders very well! Anyway, he thinks this gadget is indeed a good pet?
Therefore, he decided to continue raising it. As for whether it would be as magical as the head of state Anne once said, he didn't take it too seriously, and always thought that it was just the little girl head of state deceiving him. Just a statement? So much so that he never mentioned those things to his teacher and senior brother Obi-Wan.
"Well?"
"Strange! Does she, a little girl, need to run to fight?"
Regarding the whereabouts of the little girl Head of State, Qui-Gon Jin expressed some slight surprises, but... thinking about the other party's combat effectiveness, elusive methods, and armor, he nodded with understanding.
Although, the little head of state Anne of the Federation of Heroes is indeed very playful and naughty, but it is undeniable that the opponent's combat skills and intuition may really be innate, and even the use of supernatural abilities is indeed Is it far better than the Jedi Knights like them? Anyway, after knowing some rumors about the other party and having his life saved twice, he is definitely not qualified to comment too much on the other party.
"never mind!"
"Since you like it, just keep it for now..."
Qui-Gon Jinn didn't insist much. Anyway, in his opinion, the little bug was just a little bug no matter what. Although he didn't know why the gadget made him feel faintly afraid, the little bug was A small insect will only grow into a big insect or pupate into a flying insect in the future. How much of a threat can it pose?
Is it possible that a gadget like that can grow to be as big as a building?
"Thank you, teacher!"
Anakin cheered. Now that Mr. Qui-Gon Jinn has agreed to it, he can keep it blatantly from now on. He will no longer be afraid of other people's criticism or the threat of Senior Brother Obi-Wan to throw it away. !
"But teacher, what should I feed it? It hasn't eaten for several days. It won't eat the cooked food I brought back from the cafeteria. I've been worried that it will starve to death..."
Anakin has always been a little confused about this matter, and he has never found out what kind of species this bug is, so in the past few days, he has not dared to feed it anything, for fear that the other party would not Careful about being poisoned?
"Well……"
"Insects generally eat leaves, right? Of course, there are some exceptions..."
"You can try feeding it leaves or raw meat?"
Recalling the fact that he was bitten by this little bug when he saw it, Qui-Gon Jin suddenly felt that maybe the other party was a carnivorous bug?
"But Anakin, it's hard to find free green leaves here on Coruscant... The teacher can only regretfully tell you that I'm afraid you can only spend money to look for it in the market. I think it must be there." Those who like to eat leaves or certain meat rations!”
There is no doubt that bugs eat either meat or leaves. Bugs in the entire galaxy are similar. Of course, it is also possible to eat mud? Anyway, after Qui-Gon Jin thought for a while, he could only give his young apprentice such a compromise plan.
It would be better if he accidentally raised a pet to death, and he wouldn't have to worry about raising a pet for his little apprentice.
"If you don't have money, you can ask Obi-Wan to get it. He is now a Jedi Knight and can receive a large subsidy from the temple every month..."
Having said this, Qui-Gon Jinn, who thought of something, quickly turned around and left.
Because, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have much money left... And when he was on Tatooine last time, although he still had 20,000 Republic credits, now, he only has less than 1 A thousand! Therefore, he definitely cannot pay for his little apprentice to buy fresh green leaves, which are relatively expensive here on Coruscant, to feed the insects.
"!!"
"Wait! Teacher, why do you want me to pay him to raise bugs?!"
Obi-Wan hurriedly exclaimed, but before he could finish his words of protest, his teacher had already walked out and closed the door of the training room, seemingly not hearing any of his protests at all?
————————————
'Report! '
'Your Excellency Admiral Nova! We have just received a report that the Second Republic Army has united with some congressmen to forcefully enter several nearby systems under our control. They have also united with local local government agencies to expel our soldiers and fleets! '
In the headquarters of the 'Grand Army of the Republic' in Coruscant, the bored General Nova had just sat down in his office when an officer came here immediately and reported loudly.
"..."
"Hmph! I know, if they want it, just retreat and give the planet to them!!"
Glancing at the report, Nova knew which side those planets and galaxies represented, so she snorted coldly but didn't take it seriously. She didn't take that kind of thing to heart at all. .
'ah? '
Obviously, Nova's reaction made the human officer in front of him a little dazed.
"Don't ask too many questions! Just do as I say!"
After waving her hand and signing the report, Nova directly threw the report into the other party's arms.
'ah? '
'yes……'
There was no other way. After taking a look at the signed electronic report in his hand, the officer could only turn around and leave angrily.
"snort!"
Nova narrowed her eyes and leaned comfortably on the back of her seat.
In fact, she already knew what Palpatine wanted, but what he wanted was also what she, Nova, wanted! And now, this Galactic Republic is not chaotic enough. There are still many opinions against outsiders like them, even within her own 'President Faction' faction?
Therefore, there is always a need for more ambitious people to emerge and stir up the galaxy into more chaos, and then she can justifiably step in... At that time, whether it is to eliminate dissidents or to openly occupy the Galactic Republic, or even Will it become easier for the entire galaxy? After all, this time they want to digest and occupy this galaxy with many races at the minimum cost, and they are not going to conquer it arbitrarily by force. Therefore, some things must be done with enough patience.
To this end, she also decided to:
In a few days, she will move the headquarters of the 'Grand Army of the Republic' to Naboo, a planet with a better environment and farther away, leaving the Coruscant planet for those ambitious people to roam around, and let those guys The ambition will expand faster and bigger, and then she can completely let go and do something?
However, from Nova's point of view, no matter how indulgent she is, those guys will definitely not be able to make a difference without three or two years!
Thinking about the long wait, she couldn't help but complain!
But it doesn't matter, staying here in this world for ten or eight years is not a big deal to the current Nova! After all, the biotechnology in the star region is developing extremely rapidly now, and the lifespan of their human race is no longer the hundred-year level of ordinary people.
'Report! '
Another officer came in.
"explain!"
'It was discovered that the large fleet of the Federation of Independent Systems was gathering in the Illinim System. The current fleet size exceeds 10,000 ships! '
"..."
"Go! Let our Prince Valerian Mengsk lead the fleet to defeat the enemy. Didn't he say that I have been suppressing his former prince and not letting him lead the army? Now that his opportunity has come, let him Go!"
After hearing that it was the Federation of Independent Systems that refused to give in, Nova came out to show off again, Nova frowned and quickly gave the order.
'But…….'
'Your Excellency, Admiral! General Valerian Mengsk's command style tends to be defensive and prudent. I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely annihilate the enemy...'
At this time, another senior staff officer who came in to report suddenly whispered advice to Nova in the headquarters office.
"That's right!"
"Hmph! The fun has just started not long ago. How could it be so easy to make the guys in the Federation of Independent Systems despair so quickly?"
"Go! Just let that guy Valerian Mengsk take command and lead 3,000 battleships, which is almost enough to defeat the enemy!"
Nova did not pay too much attention to the enemy fleets, which were mostly armed merchant ships. The Federation of Independent Systems that was causing trouble in the galaxy would definitely not be able to organize a fleet that could threaten them in a short period of time. , so she wasn't too worried.
'yes! Sir! I see! '
'...'
The officers nodded, then quickly turned and walked out.
'Report! '
However, soon, a new officer hurriedly walked in.
"..."
"Tell me..."
Nova was a little impatient. She felt a little strange. Why were there so many things today, and they were all things that she needed to take care of?
'Report sir! '
'The captain of the Phantom Menace ahead sent a top-secret message, saying that... our Head of State Anne has disappeared again. They can't contact her at all, and they can't detect any signal of her existence. So, I hope you can Give necessary instructions? '
Obviously, the officer's expression of anxiety and fear was not unreasonable. After all, the disappearance of their head of state was not a trivial matter! Once something goes wrong with the head of state under the protection of their fleet, all of them will not be able to think about it, or at least their future in this life will be ruined!
"Well?!"
"Didn't she say that she would go to the planet Kashyyyk to see the monkeys and the sea of trees, and also go to the main satellite of Yego and Milius to see the angels?"
Nova was stunned for a moment, then asked subconsciously.
'Back to sir! '
'The Phantom Menace has already visited the planet Kashyyyk and the main moons of Yego and Milius! According to the report from the captain of the Phantom, it seems that the Head of State disappeared in the VIP room for no reason while the battleship was in flight? ! '
Thinking of the description of the report he had read in his hand, the officer in charge of liaison was also a little dumbfounded, because he himself could not figure out how their little head of state Anne was traveling on a new-style ship. Missing from the battleship's cabin.
"..."
Nova didn't speak in a hurry, she just frowned and began to feel something carefully.
Soon, when she discovered that the vague contractual connection in her body still clearly existed, she quickly relaxed again.
"go!"
"Order the Phantom Menace to come back. No need to look for it! When you come back, organize the battleship directly into the task force and serve as my flagship. Prepare to set sail for Naboo!!"
After roughly understanding the situation and sighing, Nova suddenly felt that her flagship was finally coming back and belonged to her again.
'ah? '
'But sir! What to do with the missing Head of State? Shouldn’t we look for him? ! '
The officer was a little anxious. He didn't know what their general was thinking, so he couldn't help but ask directly.
"Go! Go! Go!"
"What are you looking for? This is not the first time she has disappeared. I am not in a hurry. What are you yelling about?!"
Nova waved her hand impatiently at the adjutant.
"snort!"
"I will report this matter directly to the star sector. Go out and execute the order!"
For a little girl who has a bad temper and doesn't know which world to wander off to, what else can they do except to report it to the star sector?
Regardless of the fact that their sector is now technologically advanced and has an almost endless army, it is powerful enough to invade any new world in an instant... However, if they are asked to find that little head of state who never knows where he will be. If so, it is really an impossible task.
After all, they are still very unfamiliar with different worlds, and there is nothing they can do except passively accept the call of their leader.
'yes……'
There was no other way, so the officer had no choice but to comply and turn around and leave.
"Well……"
Nova pondered, feeling that the layout of Coruscant should be almost the same, so she thought about it and decided resolutely:
tomorrow……
She might as well move her headquarters and fleet to Naboo tomorrow, and have a nice tea and chat with her old friend Thrandis, if that guy can drink? Then, wait three or two years to see if things develop according to their plan?
Of course, even if it doesn't develop according to the trajectory they calculated, they will still work hard to push those ambitious people to do that!
Hum hum…
Some self-righteous guys really thought that their ghost army was just a decoration. Wouldn't they know who was behind the attack on their little head of state? !
"Why……"
"What an unpleasant day..."
Nova stretched and sighed.
She suddenly felt that it would be great if she could be like their little head of state and be able to wander or play freely in various dimensions!
It's a pity that she can only think about that kind of thing. After all, her Nova's power is still far behind that of their little head of state?
Probably about the same, probably as far away as the radius of the entire Milky Way or the radius of the universe...
