Chapter 337: A Good Opportunity to Catch Them All
In order not to cause the situation to spiral out of control, Palpatine could only resist the urge to vomit blood, and swallowed this breath, not only postponed the investigation of the origin of this unknown fleet, but also forced the clone army not to get close to the anti-war galaxy.

The same fate was given to the separatist forces, and this time it took little need for Palpatine to secretly remind them that the main separatist forces, such as the Trade Union, had voluntarily withdrawn from the territory of the anti-war faction.
With the arrival of the Nameless Identity Fleet, the galaxy where all the anti-war factions are located has once again ushered in peace, and the anti-war factions occupy about one-third of the territory of the Republic.
In other words, Zhao Ze was almost bloodless, and he dismembered one-third of the Galactic Republic.
As for the fat that has already arrived, is there any reason to send it back?
But because of this incident, it triggered a hostile attitude of the Jedi Council towards Zhao Ze's side, and the Jedi knights did not believe that Zhao Ze did this for peace, but wondered if he had something to do with the Sith Lord hidden in the shadows, or even ...... He himself is the Sith Lord!
Although this speculation is absurd, it is not without a market within the Jedi Order, if it weren't for the fact that Zhao Ze's fleet is mainly aimed at separatist forces, and the Clone Legion of the Council has suffered very little losses, I'm afraid that the Jedi Council will really change its strategy and target Zhao Ze's side.
The anti-war faction didn't care so much, the thousands of galaxies to which the anti-war faction belonged lacked military strength, and they were hesitant at first, worried that they would send away the wolf and usher in the tiger, but after careful observation, it was found that these fleets sent by Zhao Ze did not land on the planet at all, but only controlled the channel and inspected the past military spacecraft, but turned a blind eye to civilian and commercial spacecraft.
In this way, the doubts are cleared.
The most important thing is that Zhao Ze did not take this opportunity to impose heavy taxes on the galaxy mentioned by the anti-war faction, and he did not even ask for "tolls", he was completely a good person doing good deeds, and thanks to the guaranteed security, the galaxy to which the anti-war faction belonged ushered in a rare economic development in this war.
In fact, this is what Zhao Ze wants to see, the more the galaxies hate war and value economic development, the more beneficial it is to his plan.
Originally, one side was waving the banner of justice, and the other side was waving the banner of no longer being oppressed, and they both looked high-sounding, but compared with the anti-war faction, it seems that the first two factions have a bit of a villain to do evil.
In desperation, the council can only pretend to be an ostrich now, as if Zhao Ze's fleet does not exist at all, anyway, there is a separatist force as an opponent, so there is no need to worry about instability in a short time.
But Zhao Ze will not go down according to the script arranged by Palpatine.
Now that the anti-war faction is in the urn, it will be the turn of the separatist forces.
Zhao Ze contacted Count Dooku and met him in the industrial area of Coruscant, after which Dooku rushed to the headquarters of the separatist forces and conveyed Zhao Ze's opinion to some of the powerful governors.
As early as a few years ago, the governors of the trade alliance and the business association had been controlled by Zhao Ze, and they were ostensibly sent by the "big man" disguised by the Sith Lord, but secretly they all took refuge in Zhao Ze's side.
Now it's finally time for them to come in handy.
Under the orders of a group of governors, the army of separatists suddenly began to assemble, aiming directly at Coruscant, the capital of the Republic.
On Coruscant's side, the council also quickly responded, and the clone legion immediately shrank its forces and prepared to stop the enemy in the star field near Coruscant.
At the suggestion of Count Dooku, Palpatine thought of the Bitter Meat Trick in advance, preparing to let the Insurgency take him away first, and then let the Jedi come to save him.
In the original plot, Palpatine wanted to use bitter meat to plant a seed in Anakin's heart, and accept him as an apprentice until the time was ripe, but now Anakin is Zhao Ze's apprentice, coupled with the change in his growth experience, he is no longer the boy who is full of gloom in his heart.
So Palpatine made a dangerous move this time, planning to take this opportunity to pit the Jedi, after all, he has also felt the growing strength of the Jedi in recent years, if he doesn't take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Jedi, in this protracted war, he, the Sith Lord, is the weakest.
After receiving the message from Dooku, Zhao Ze left Coruscant with Amidala under the pretext of visiting the anti-war faction, intending to make a series of diplomatic visits in the system to which the anti-war faction belongs.
Of course, this was only for Palpatine, but in fact, the only person who left was Amidala, and Zhao Ze secretly turned Coruscant and ambushed him.
More than a month later, the battle that took place at the beginning of the third part of the series in the original plot took place as scheduled.
As the robot commander of the separatist forces, Grievous suddenly led a fleet to storm the heart of the Republic, the capital Coruscant, and he personally led the flagship to pass through the blockade of the Clone Legion at all costs, and then ordered a small team to make a forced landing in the Parliament building, successfully kidnapping the Prime Minister and Speaker Palpatine and a large number of parliamentarians.
During the whole process, Zhao Ze watched from afar, sitting and watching Palpatine, a big drama written and directed by himself, until the Sith Lord was "kidnapped" to Grievous's flagship, Zhao Ze immediately opened a portal and followed him.
As the Sith Lord, Palpatine was certainly not mistreated by the Divisive forces, and he was placed on the top floor of the Ring Flagship, waiting for the Jedi to come to his rescue.
It's just that when the Jedi arrives, they will inevitably encounter an ambush, and the only way to end up is to suffer heavy casualties.
Unlike in the original plot, in order to attract more Jedi to come to the rescue, Grievous kidnapped Palpatine not only this time, but also thousands of members of the Main War faction, most of whom were on Palpatine's side, and were also the "rotten elements" that Count Dooku hated the most.
Because of the crucial importance of Palpatine, he was not locked up with other councilors, but was locked up alone at the top, which also gave Zhao Ze a good opportunity to catch them all.
So when Palpatine saw a sudden flash of light in front of him, as if the space was forcibly divided, and a person walked in from the opposite side, his eyes were about to bulge.
The matter of Zhao Ze's ability has always been the top secret of the Jedi Council, except for the twelve elders, only Kui Gang's master and apprentice know.
Palpatine didn't know anything about Zhao Ze except that he was very strong, and it was precisely because Zhao Ze hid it well that Palpatine never regarded him as his main opponent.
"Yo! It's not the great Darth. Sidious, how did you get locked up here by your own people? Do you want me to untie it for you? ā
