1254. Calmness of the Storm (Part 1)
"Haha... The movement to resist Rendili is gradually decreasing, which shows that this old immortal Benjila Ulan still has some abilities, hehehe..." Darth Sidious said, "But no matter how hard he struggles, It’s all useless! You can light a few more fires and completely force Rendili to the side of the separatists, and then our victory will be...hehehehe!"
"It's really hard to figure out a guy like you who plots against your own people." Arden-Lin said coldly.
"Perhaps you have some misunderstanding, Arden-Lin. Lendili has never been my..."one of my own." "Darth Sidious sneered and closed the communication.
Arden-Lin snorted coldly, still maintaining his posture of sitting on the window sill, still looking through the porthole in the direction of the flagship of the Rendili Planet Defense Fleet, the Messer-Korber.
…
"...I understand. I accept your suggestion. I will keep this fleet on the side of the Galactic Republic." Jesse Darling nodded and said to the three Jedi standing in front of him.
He was an officer in his forties, with a slicked back hair, and a long scar on the side of his face, which almost cut off the entire left side of his cheekbone.
"Maintaining the peace and unity of the Galactic Republic is the responsibility of each of us. Don't relax just because you are the local defense fleet of the enterprise." Jedi Knight Jing Fang said solemnly.
Jesse Darling gave him a look as if he was looking at a psycho.
"We are very grateful for your cooperation, Captain Jesse Darling. In addition, we also want to know whether Bangila Ulan really intends to hand over Rendili to the separatists?" Plo Kong asked. road.
Darlin shook his head and said: "I am just a small captain and commander. The thoughts of a big man like Bangila are not something that someone like me can fathom."
Plo-Kong nodded, "I understand. Then I'll leave it to you to take care of the Lendili Planet Defense Fleet. If you have anything, you can contact us directly. In the next month at least, we will Will continue to stay at Rendily.”
"That's enough." Jesse Darling waved his hand impatiently, then turned his back and stopped looking at them.
Moments after the Jedi Knights left, the door to the bridge where Darling was located was opened, and Arden-Lin walked in with several people dressed as agents.
"What did the Jedi tell you?" Arden-Lin asked directly.
"I will hand over the planetary defense fleet to the Galactic Republic," Captain Darling said.
Arden-Lin said: "Then can you explain why, under the current circumstances, you actually ordered the officers and soldiers of the Planetary Defense Fleet to go down to the planet Rendili for vacation?"
"It is precisely because of this situation that I need to keep the nerves of these officers and soldiers relaxed to prevent them from doing anything that causes a misfire." Captain Darling's answer was also watertight.
"Immediately terminate the vacation and put the entire fleet into combat readiness." Arden-Lin said.
"I am the commander of this fleet!" Jesse Darling raised his voice.
A fierce light suddenly flashed in Arden-Lin's eyes. She took a step forward and said with a ferocious expression: "Who gave you the courage to disobey me?! Jedi Knight? Hahahaha... Could it be that you Have you forgotten how you knelt in front of me and begged me during the fleet riot?"
"I said, I am the commander of this fleet!" Jesse Darling still said, but he still took a step back, "I will hand over this fleet to the Galactic Republic."
Arden-Lin frowned. She looked at Jesse Darling's expression that showed no fear at all, and a very strong sense of disobedience suddenly surged in her heart, but she couldn't explain why.
She raised her hand and patted Jesse Darling's face gently, and said with a ferocious smile, "Then you'd better remember the promise you made to me at that time!"
Walking out of the bridge, Arden-Lin was still thinking, but she still had no clue.
It can be thought that Jesse Darling received some promise from the Jedi, so he became so tough. But he was tough, and he compromised without hesitation and agreed to hand over the fleet to the Galactic Republic... and on this matter, the Jedi and she should be on the same side.
But why is the Force still stirring?
Arden-Lin knew that this was the Force giving her a hint, just as when Darth Sidious had just heard that the fleet was taking vacations in batches, Darth Sidious immediately had an intuition that the situation was not normal.
For these powerful Force users, even the vaguest intuition is likely to have a very strong foreshadowing effect.
She thought for a while and said to the few agents behind her: "Go and contact the people we have contacted before to confirm their current attitude towards the situation, and also understand why in recent days, the Lundili Interstellar Power Corporation has been targeted. There has been less activity.”
"Yes!" Several agents nodded in response.
…
In a bar, a TV program is playing on the holographic projection, and Mayor Daman Lopez of Qorgan City is being interviewed by a Galaxy Holographic Network TV program.
"Dear Mayor Daman, I am very glad that you can accept our interview." In front of Daman, the beautiful host said friendlyly, "Can you talk about something that people across the planet are very concerned about recently, about Lundy? Is it a problem with Li Interstellar Power Company?"
Mayor Daman smiled and said: "I am not an employee of Lundili Star Power Company, so I have no right to express any opinions on them. But what I want to emphasize is that as the mayor of Qorgan City, my position and always stand with the broad masses of the people.”
"But you have been criticizing Rendili Interstellar Power Company for some time and claimed that they are responsible for the current economic depression on Rendili planet. But I noticed that recently you no longer insist on this view. May I ask? What made you change your mind? Is it Lundilli Interstellar Dynamics?" the host asked.
"My mind has never changed. Do you think I was criticizing Rendili Star Power Company before? Then I can only answer you, yes and no. Because what I am really criticizing is the war itself. And Lundili Interstellar Power Company is also one of the main parts of this war." Daman answered very appropriately, "And now I don't care about Lundili Interstellar Power Company anymore, because I put my Set your sights higher and think about the overall situation - what exactly caused the current situation of our planet Rendili."
"So, do you have the answer now?" the host asked.
"Of course I have the answer. It's just that I don't dare to say the answer yet," Daman said.
Looking at the mayor of Daman in the projection, a man on a table at the edge of the bar groaned through gritted teeth. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then took out his communicator and sent an encrypted message - [Daman City Chang was out of control, and he did not continue to put pressure on Rendili Star Power Company as planned. 】
Not only in this place, the same situation has occurred in many places on the planet Rendili these days!
