1386. Tarkinism Hearing what Tarkin said, Anakin became even more angry. He sternly said: "I never knew that the Galactic Republic has a tradition of treating people's lives as nothing!"
"Be patient, young Jedi. I naturally have my reasons for doing this." Wilhuff Tarkin said.
"You'd better have a good reason! Because this blind penetration operation will cost at least thousands of soldiers!" Anakin Skywalker said,
"The situation in Izzy City is unknown. You don't know where the separatists still have hidden power! You also don't know if they have any hidden firepower points! You don't even know what the condition of the buildings or the terrain is! Just like this, you actually Send the transport ship directly there!"
"Based on the current progress, how long do you think it will take us to completely capture Izzy City?" Tarkin asked.
"In five days at most, Izzy City will be completely controlled by us." Anakin Skywalker replied.
"I remember that the time we agreed on was three days." Tarkin said calmly.
"The situation in Izzy City is very complicated. There are a large number of civilians who have not been evacuated, so we must act cautiously!" Anakin Skywalker said.
Tarkin shook his head and said: "Do you think this will have a perfect result? No, not really, Anakin. You may think that your actions are saving their lives, but in fact, they Do you think so? I am also paying attention to the situation on the ground battlefield at your side. In just 3 hours, tens of thousands of shootings and explosions occurred. Do you know the reason?" He glanced at Anakin. , ask and answer yourself,
"Is it because of different ideas? Is it because they regard us as invaders? Yes, it is true. But there are so many planets in the galaxy. Can you guarantee that every planet is not hostile to us? No. So, you will never We will face such a situation. Otherwise, our own soldiers will die in the attack and the combat plan will be delayed; otherwise, it will cause more civilian casualties. Which one can you accept?" Anakin said in a deep voice: " We are the Galactic Republic! We should take responsibility for this! This is our responsibility, whether it is to the soldiers of the Republic or the Jedi Order!"
"You are completely irresponsible and even evasive when you say this. Because you have not really faced this problem head-on!" Tarkin said,
"You keep talking about responsibility, so do you mean that you would rather let the soldiers of the Republic make more sacrifices, let our combat plan be delayed again and again, and let separatism continue to flourish?!"
"That's not the case!" Anakin said.
"Do you think these civilians will be grateful to you? No! They will only regard this as your weakness! Their resistance will come in waves, and you will have to suppress it again and again! In this process, no matter you Or these resistance forces will pay more casualties and more prices! Who can blame this? Can they blame them for having too strong will to resist?" Takin said sharply,
"No! This can only be your fault! Because your weakness gave them hope!"
"This is just a necessary process! If it doesn't work once, do it twice, if it doesn't work twice, do it three times! On behalf of the Galactic Republic, I will eventually resolve all resistance and re-usher the prosperous age a thousand years ago! Peace will eventually come!" Anakin shouted.
"I'm glad to see you say that, but you're using it in the wrong direction, Anakin." Tarkin said coldly,
"You shouldn't give them hope! You should give them fear! Give them a deterrent! Let them think of the terrible consequences when they have even the slightest idea of resistance! This will make them dare not resist, dare not Take action! This is the real solution once and for all!"
"Fear should never be a tool of the Galactic Republic, let alone a tool of the Jedi!" Anakin argued.
"Give them hope, and they will resist again and again. And give them fear, but they can only hide in the corner and tremble... So, do you choose hope or fear?" Tarkin said: "Just like this time, if you Will it work to advance step by step and finally capture the city of Izzy? Do you think they will stop resisting? No! You can only beat them up! Beat them up completely! Make them afraid! Let them see how to stop the Republic army The price you need to pay to advance!" He pointed to the screen next to him that constantly flashed red dots representing the enemy, and said: "If you kill one person and hang his head on a street lamp, you can suppress an unrest. If so, then I will choose to do so without hesitation.”
"I am responsible for the ground operations on the planet Onderon! Whatever happens, I will naturally solve it!" Anakin Skywalker's face began to look gloomy.
Tarkin smiled coldly and said: "Unfortunately, some unexpected events occurred, so I decided to exercise the power of the governor to make favorable adjustments to the development of the war situation."
"Acting Governor!" Anakin reminded.
"But that's the Governor, isn't it?" Tarkin sneered, pressing a few buttons on the communicator.
"Let me introduce you to a person. You should know him. It was him who brought us a turning point in the war." Another person appeared in the holographic projection on the side.
He is thirty years old, wearing a cloak, a ferocious scar on his face, a fierce expression, and a sharp light in his eyes.
"Thor Gerrera!" Anakin was shocked.
"Hello, General Skywalker." Saw Gerrera said coldly,
"I'm very pleased that you finally came back with the fleet."
"I said I would solve Onderon's problems," Anakin said.
"Very good, so I also choose to help you." Saw Gerrera said.
"Then you should come to me! Just like your sister Stella Gerrera!" Anakin had a gloomy face. He felt that Saw Gerrera's appearance seemed to mean something else.
"Hahahaha!" Saw Gerrera laughed.
"Do you still believe in my cowardly Virgin Sister? Is she still hiding in the sewers, doing thankless work, transporting civilians out of the country one by one? She doesn't even know what she should do! And I believe she will fall out with you soon. In the end, she will accomplish nothing."
"I never think that saving civilians is a mistake! Moreover, Stella has given us a lot of help. Because of her intelligence, we can accurately respond to the movements of the separatist army!" Anakin said.
So-Gerrera had a strange expression on his face.
"But I can let you occupy the planet Onderon in one day!"
