1486, Execute Order 66 (3) (Wake up tomorrow morning to watch the full version, or wait half an hour to refresh)

Padmé Amidala looked a little tired when he said this, "This process is the longest, and it took two days. Together with the Supreme Court, we checked and discussed the issues issued since Palpatine took office. Major Executive Orders ... he is indeed doing the right thing as Speaker of the Republic, and, in the Supreme Court's opinion, he has done a better job than many Speakers of the past."

"So what do you think, Padmé?" Anakin Skywalker asked.

"Palpatine is distorting an essential fact!" Padmé Amidala said firmly, "That is this war! He is the biggest beneficiary of this war! On the surface, he said it was to maintain the Republic unity, but in fact, more than anyone else, he wants the war to continue! This is the key to our struggle with him all the time!"

"Palpatine, did he start this war?" Anakin Skywalker asked back, he couldn't accept Padmé's idea, because he always believed that this war was caused by the administrative organization of the Galactic Republic Insufficient strength has led to the perverse actions of major corporate giants.

And that's what Schiff Palpatine kept telling him. He has been teaching Anakin to see the essence through the appearance, such as why separatism occurs. Under the guidance of Palpatine, Anakin also gradually realized that the reason why this war broke out was because of the various injustices and exploitations produced by the Galactic Republic, and the reason for this was because of the weakness and corruption of the Republic's administrative agencies .

In fact, this statement is not wrong, it just needs to ignore the role Palpatine himself played in it.

"No! Anakin! Why do you say that?" Padmé looked at Anakin in disbelief, "But Palpatine's role in this war is not as positive as he advertised! He is Profiting from this war! Through this war, his power is growing! Not even Parliament can stop him now!"

"But if this is not the case, how can we defeat separatism? If it weren't for Palpatine's insistence, we don't even have an army now! Can we just wait for separatism to hit Coruscant all the way?" Ann Nagin said.

"Your statement is exactly the same as Palpatine! You are confusing concepts! There is no equal sign between the victory of the war and the power he got! There are many ways to win the war. Command, strengthening the authority of the Ministry of Defense, etc.! But he chose the path of promoting the war by himself! This will only make his power more and more powerful, and finally form a dictatorship!" Padmé said.

"But isn't your method to form another centralized organization? How can you guarantee that these centralized organizations will not have problems and will not form a dictatorship?" Anakin-Skywalker began to feel irritable.

"No! In the more than 25,000-year history of the Galactic Republic, there have been countless wars! They have faced countless enemies and won all of them! The victory of these wars is not achieved by relying on the speaker! The essence of the Republic as a whole is Decentralization and mutual restraint of power! If this cannot be achieved, then the foundation of the Galactic Republic will be denied!" Padmé became excited.

"Has there been Rusan reforms in the previous Galactic Republic? Has the republic's political system completely collapsed due to the retrogression of more than a thousand years? If there were no such desperate situations, Palpatine would not have chosen such a Isn't it the way?" Anakin argued.

"I never thought you would think so... Anakin..." Padmé took a few steps back, shaking his head, "Are you, like Palpatine, supporting this war? "

At this moment, in her heart, there is only deeper despair. Because she found out that the person she loved the most had betrayed her! This is not an emotional and physical betrayal, but a betrayal of the two fundamental ideas!

"I've had enough! Why are we fighting bloody battles on the front lines, and there are always people dragging our feet behind, thinking our fight is wrong! Why are we watching the Separatists throw more troops, while there are always people here It’s a crime to think that we make an extra pistol!!” Anakin yelled.

"That's because when you were foolishly fighting on the front line, you didn't realize that every drop of blood and sweat you shed has become a tool for others to seek benefits!!" Padmé also yelled tit for tat.

Anakin was taken aback for a moment, and only then did he realize that he had quarreled with Padmé. He hurried over to hug Padme, "I...I don't want to do this, Padme. But..."

"I don't want to see you now...get out..." Padmé cried again, covering her face and pointing to the door with one hand.

"Padmé, this shouldn't be..."

"Get out!!" Padmé stood up abruptly and said loudly.

"I see, sorry..." Anakin Skywalker shook his head, turned and left Padmé's office.

Walking out the door, Anakin Skywalker felt lost, he walked in a daze, and finally sat down on a step, holding his head, feeling extremely painful in his heart.

I don't know how long it took, and the people around began to increase. The congressmen who came and went walked together in twos and threes, as if they were talking about something.

Anakin's keen perception allowed him to hear a lot of conversations. He found that this would be another meeting of the Council of the Republic, and it seemed to be aimed at the Jedi Order as well.

He stood up immediately, wanting to go to Padmé Amidala, but immediately remembered that he had offended her and quarreled with her just now, so he shook his head again and sat down on the steps again.

At this time, a member of parliament walked by with her assistant. Seeing Anakin in such a desperate state, he came over and asked, "General Skywalker? Why are you here?"

Anakin looked up, only to see that he knew this congressman. It's Pantora's councilor, Chi Eekway Papanoida, in a conflict last year, Anakin Skywalker helped Pantora, so they have After a one-sided relationship.

"Is the Council meeting to discuss the Jedi Order?" Anakin Skywalker asked.

"Yes. Do you want to come and listen? Your Excellency the Speaker should be very busy now, instead of you looking for him, why not come with us." Kai-Aikewei said kindly.

Anakin Skywalker nodded, stood up and walked towards the venue with Kay Exway.
