After talking for a while through the communicator, Tang Yu and Master Wendu agreed to meet on the wreckage of a destroyed warship. It was just the two of them.
Tang Yu talked to him about many things, including Darth Sidious's true plot, the legend behind the midpoint station, and the fluctuations and balance of the Force. As he said before, Master Wendu, who had fallen to the dark side, had calmed down after witnessing the scene of defeat in front of him. There were only two paths before him — fight to the end, or accept a truce.
If they fought to the end, with the existence of the Predator fleet, the Venomfang battleship, and the two warships that could teleport and stealth, as well as the current situation of the war, the Republic had no chance of winning. Therefore, if they chose to fight to the end, the best result would be to kill 800 of the enemy and lose 1000 of their own. They would use up all their warships and then destroy the enemy's fleet. But was such an outcome really good?
Now that the situation in the Milky Way was like this, the tripartite confrontation was already a fait accompli. Talking about unifying the Milky Way was just empty talk. Moreover, Palpatine had long been proven to be the mastermind behind the scenes. Under such circumstances, what else could they do?
In fact, there was indeed something they could do — end this war, at least for now. However, as long as Palpatine still had a fleet, even if they stopped the war, no one could guarantee that he would not start another one. How should they deal with this? Master Wendu thought of what Tang Yu had told him. Palpatine was injured by Master Yoda and was ambushed by Peacock from afar, aggravating his injuries … Thinking of this, a hint of killing intent flashed across his eyes.
…
The order to cease fire spread throughout the Corellia Galaxy, and the chaotic battle involving thousands of warships finally came to a temporary halt. The warships of both sides began to retreat and regroup. Some of the severely damaged and incapacitated warships were towed to the rear by other warships using tractor beams. Although the remaining 3,000 warships of both sides had ceased fire, they were facing each other from a distance, ready to attack again at any time.
The battlefield on the ground was relatively more complicated. Because the battle was too chaotic, almost every planet in the Corellia Galaxy had become a battlefield. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Republic's fleet landed on the five habitable planets with the help of the remnants of the King's Party. Many of the Republic's troops successfully landed on the five habitable planets. The PNSR was not to be outdone. A large number of their robot army landed on the planet in the Rukelihouk-class battleship and began a ground battle with the Republic's army.
However, the situation now was different from the beginning of the war. At that time, the main force of the Republic's ground forces were still clone soldiers, while the main force of the Confederation's ground forces were B-1 battle robots. On the battlefield, the clone soldiers could almost crush the enemy, while the Confederation could only rely on numbers to barely resist. However, the fleet's carrying capacity was limited, so there wasn't much in terms of numbers. Therefore, at that time, the Confederacy lost more than they won on the ground. However, the situation was different now. PNSR's robots were mainly made up of mechanical lifeforms, while the Republic's ground forces were mostly conscripted natural soldiers. Furthermore, as the Republic had not been in the field for a long time, the training system for the soldiers was very unscientific, so it was obvious how strong these soldiers were.
Therefore, on the ground battlefield, PNSR's robot army was basically winning one victory after another. The Republic's army kept retreating, and they relied on the relatively agile Rukelihouk-class Assault Landing Ships in the atmosphere to stall for time.
After the ceasefire order was passed, although both sides had stopped firing, they did not stay in the same place. Instead, they quietly carried out tactical maneuvers, which made the situation even more complicated.
However, in the end, there was a ceasefire, and all parties sat down to negotiate. Including Count Dooku, Master Windu, Tang Yu, Iblis, Gorga the Hutt, and other high-level leaders of the various forces would participate in the peace talks.
While the peace talks were being prepared, in the Republic's new flagship, Master Windu stood in the conference room, calmly looking at the holographic projection of Darth Sidious in front of him.
"So, you brought my fleet to negotiate with the Separatists? Well done, as expected of the former leader of the Jedi Knights, Master Windu. You're really familiar with overstepping your authority, "Darth Sidious mocked mercilessly.
"There's no need to continue this war," Master Windu said calmly.
"Whether the war continues or not is up to me! I'm the Emperor of the Empire! " Darth Sidious' expression suddenly became incomparably ferocious. His golden eyes emitted an ominous glint. At the same time, Master Windu also felt the surrounding dark side origin force pressing down on him, and the surrounding air seemed to have frozen!
But Master Windu ignored this powerful pressure. He only replied, "I'm the frontline commander, and I have the most direct judgment on the development of the war. And my judgment is that we have no chance of winning. "
"Are you ignoring my orders? Did I hand the fleet to you so that you can squabble on the table like a coward? "Sidious put his ferocious and distorted face close to the holographic projection and said fiercely.
"I've done everything I can," Windu said expressionlessly.
Darth Sidious shook his head, and his expression suddenly became amiable. However, his deathly pale complexion and withered face were not amiable at all. He slowly said, "If that's the case, I agree with your judgment. I will also participate in this peace negotiation. After everything is over, come back to Coruscant and report to me. "
"That's for sure." Master Windu said and stared at Darth Sidious without flinching. When their gazes collided, there seemed to be sparks.
…
Three days later, the peace negotiation between the three parties officially began in a very luxurious reception hall on Planet Corellia. Unlike the previous hypocritical peace negotiation, the people who participated this time were the highest leaders of each party.
The representative of the Five Star Alliance was Executive Gammu Bell Iblis. The representatives of PNSR were Count Dooku and Tang Yu. The representative of the Galactic Republic was Master Windu, and the representative of the Hutt was Gorga.
Everyone entered the hall and sat down. Iblis turned on the holographic projection, and only Darth Sidious's image appeared in it. The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Darth Sidious first glanced at Count Dooku and grinned. "Looks like I've really taught a good disciple! Darth Tyranus. "
Count Dooku smiled and said with a double meaning, "This is all thanks to you, Darth Sidious. You've become the emperor as you wished. I should congratulate you. "
"The Galactic National Socialist Republic … That's a good political ideal. I'm sure it will be able to last for a long time. The Trade Alliance is also a good partner. With their help, your economy will definitely develop well, "Darth Sidious said in a strange tone.
"You don't have to worry about that. Lendill, Incom, and the other companies are also very useful. Our economy is indeed recovering," Count Dooku said.
"Oh … Then we'll … wait and see …" Darth Sidious grinned.
