Chapter 602: Civil strife in Christophersis
600, Civil strife in Christophersis
Instigated by the corporate alliance, the retail industry alliance also began to take action, and they are the planet Christophersis this time Promoters of civil unrest.
The Retail Federation itself used to be a trust group composed of hundreds of companies, mainly engaged in the retail of small commodities. After forming the group, they began to monopolize these commodities from raw materials to production and processing to sales, thus accumulating Received huge amounts of funds.
When the separatist movement began to rise, they were also one of the most active members, because their main markets were in the Outer Rim Star Region. If the Outer Rim Star Region could become independent, their interests would be get maximized.
Therefore, when the war was approaching, the retail industry jointly used almost all its funds to invest in various warship and robot manufacturers in exchange for a part of the production share of these manufacturers.
Even the Fourth Group has received huge investment from the retail industry alliance. Gross-Shelbia gave them 10% of the production line output of several frigates and destroyers, which can be regarded as helping them initially. A barely visible fleet was built.
As a result, the retail industry alliance has surged in strength and become a huge military group in just a few years. After the civil war broke out, the Retail Alliance immediately mobilized this huge military force and launched attacks on several planets where they had already had great influence.
However, although the retail industry alliance is jumping up and down like this, they are still dozens of levels behind the giants of the Enterprise Alliance, and now as the Chairman of the Enterprise Alliance, Parcel Akin Retail Federation was really flattered when Te came to our door.
Especially when Parcel Argent proposed to jointly attack the planet Christophsis, and then everyone divided the accounts into 28%. Although he only had 20%, this was Christophsis! ! A crystal planet with a population of 35 billion! ! Let alone 20%, even half a percent of the income is enough to drive them crazy.
The plan proposed by the enterprise alliance also made the retail industry jointly feel that this action is definitely successful.
Because the Retail Federation has a deep relationship and trade relationship with the Croydon people, they do have the ability to let the Croydon people cause trouble on the planet Christophersis.
The discussion was finalized. The Retail Federation secretly found the Croydonians and provided them with very generous rewards. The greedy and cunning Croydonians hit it off immediately and immediately expressed their willingness to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems. and staged a coup on the planet Christophsis.
There are nearly 4 billion Croydon people on the planet Christophsis. This race is strong and has long mouths because their ancestors were four-legged carnivores on the grasslands on the planet Croydon. Animals, so they also have long fangs and sharp claws. They are a very rough and cruel race.
On the planet Christophsis, Croydonians are basically employed as bodyguards.
But now, the Croydonians suddenly launched a coup, catching the planet Christophersis off guard. You must know that after the civil war broke out, the planet Christophersis immediately established its own security army to defend itself. The idea was right, but at least half of the troops they recruited were Croydonians!
After the negotiation between the two parties broke down, the Croydonians launched riots in hundreds of cities on the planet Christophsis, and a large part of them even started from the army!
The Croydonians publicly accused the government of the planet Christophsis of practicing racial discrimination against them, and cited numerous cases, among which there were indeed many cases of cruel exploitation of the Croydonians by human bosses. They said that their race had been discriminated against for a long time and could no longer bear oppression, so they sought autonomy. If the Republic did not give them an answer, then they would join the Confederation of Independent Systems. The riots on the planet Christophsis are no small matter, because this can be said to be the most important planet in the outer ring star region of the Galactic Republic. The economic development of this planet is even higher than that of many inner ring planets. Perhaps the only disadvantage is that industry and There is not enough manufacturing.
Chancellor Sheev Palpatine immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss the chaos on the planet Christopher Sith. The congressmen quarreled for another three days, and it was not until July 6 that they made the decision to send a mission to mediate the racial disputes on the planet Christophsis.
As for the representatives of the mission, Sheev Palpatine already has a candidate. In the past few days, he has been troubled by the issue of military bills. Although he already has the power to make emergency decisions, after all, it is impossible to do everything arbitrarily. In this case, the parliament, which still has great influence, will definitely not May tolerate him.
But now surrounding the issue of military expansion, the peace faction headed by Bail Organa has been obstructing it. However, this faction is still powerful, and the assassination of Senator Padmé Amidala also gave them a chance to win. Lots of sympathy points. Due to their protests, the bill for military expansion has been delayed.
So Palpatine simply found a high-sounding reason to let Bail Organa lead the special envoy to visit the planet Christophsis.
Bail Organa has no choice. Since he advocates peace, and Speaker Palpatine did ask him to solve the problem in a peaceful way, then he has no reason to shirk.
So the next day, July 7, Bail Organa led a Republic mission to the planet Christophsis.
However, during this period, the situation on the planet Christophsis became worse and worse. The riots caused by the Croydonians intensified. They also raised slogans such as 'Down with the exploiters of mankind' and launched attacks on their former employers. attacked.
Many of these Croydonians work as mercenaries or security guards. Many security codes and door keys are in their hands. If these people fight back, many enterprises and companies on the planet Christophsis will be destroyed. The factories were completely overwhelmed and many places were looted.
Under such circumstances, the government authorities of the planet Christophsis finally couldn't bear it anymore. They began to regroup their troops and carried out an armed suppression of the rioting Croydon people.
However, the situation is not as easy as the government authorities of the planet Christophsis imagined. Although the rioting Croydon soldiers were unable to obtain heavy equipment such as tanks, they already had basic weapons after all, and what was even worse was that they had more weapons in their hands than they imagined! !
"You know, I have helped you a lot in this matter...Mr. Parcell Argent." In the holographic projection, there is a middle-aged man with a high hairline and a suit. Shaking the cigar in his hand, "There are definitely no more than 10 people in this galaxy who can complete weapons smuggling on this scale, and 7 of them are Hutts."
Parcel Argent smiled brightly and said to this man: "Don't worry, Santa Claus, as long as you can successfully capture the planet Christophersis, you can get more than 10 times the profit!!"
" Then, I wish you success." Yuri Orlov was noncommittal and just smiled enigmatically.
