Chapter 1184 Determined Gambling (2-in-1)
1183. Determined Gambling
“This thing...must be THOR!” Lux-Bontry quickly flipped through his mother’s pages Mina Bontry's computer data, but after all, Mina is the parliamentary representative of the planet Onderon, and the data stored in her terminal can be said to involve all aspects, a lot.
But Lukes did not give up because of this. Although he did not have much time to go to the Resistance Army, within the limited time, several computer masters from the Resistance Army also taught him many things. aspects of knowledge. There were even times when the Jedi Knight named Anakin Skywalker taught him.
Speaking of these two Jedi Knights, Lukes-Bontry was a little impressed by the Jedi Knights, because in the propaganda of the Confederation of Independent Systems, the Jedi Knights are bloodthirsty and easy to kill, using their own strength The strong bullies the weak and is an accomplice of the exploiting class of the Galactic Republic.
Lukes is 18 years old this year. He was only 6 years old when separatism became popular 12 or 3 years ago. Naturally, such an inherent impression was formed in his mind.
But in several contacts with Ahsoka Tano, Lux saw many differences in this Jedi apprentice who was almost the same age as him. Coupled with his later contact with Anakin Skywalker, he also had a good impression of this extremely powerful Jedi Knight.
In his mind, there is almost nothing that Anakin Skywalker cannot do, he can always create miracles. What's even more amazing is that he is actually an excellent mechanical expert and computer expert. Lukes used to think that the Jedi were just a group of mystics wielding lightsabers.
He began to use some of the knowledge he had learned to classify and search the data in his mother's computer, and found clues from other seemingly irrelevant information.
Sure enough, he found another message!
A week ago, the planet Onderon tried to import two J-1 proton cannons from the Technology Alliance, saying they were ready for weapons testing. But Techno Union Grand Foreman Walter Tambor rejected the proposal and taunted the Onderon representatives at the negotiating table.
Later, with the help of the Trade Alliance, Planet Onderon purchased two J-1 proton cannons at a much higher premium than the market price. This incident also made Mina Bontry very angry. She believed that these businessmen did not consider the overall situation in order to make money. However, at the same time, Mina Bontry also had some doubts as to why the planet Onderon needed to use J. -1 proton cannon for testing?
These questions were recorded in her personal notepad.
Not only that, Lukes also found more information. Tyran Heavy Industry recently sent a team of engineers to the planet Onderon with an unknown mission. And it stands to reason that people from Tyron Heavy Industry would usually go directly to the Duxon satellite, because that is where the Behemoth-class battlecruiser's dock is located, but this team of engineers has always stayed in Aziz City.
Lukes then found a lot of surrounding information about driver training, the import of Hellfire long-range surface-to-air missiles, the assembly of particle accelerators, etc. It was only when the sky was dim that he looked at the information he had compiled. , nodded with satisfaction.
...
The next day, Lux-Bontry always wanted to find an opportunity to go out and contact the rebels, but his mother Mina-Bontry kept a close eye on him. I was so anxious, but I had to wait at home.
However, the turning point came quickly. That night, Mina Bontri received a notice asking her to go to the Unity Temple immediately to attend an emergency meeting.
Although Mina Bontri had her doubts, this was an order personally signed by the planet's regent Sanji Rush, so she had no choice but to dress up and prepare to participate. Before leaving, she called Lux over and said: "Although I don't know what to say in this emergency meeting, I estimate that it won't last too long, and I should be able to come back before dawn. You go to bed early and rest, and I will prepare for you tomorrow." You arrange cultural classes and study politics and economics. Maybe after this round of classes, you will understand what your previous views are."
"Okay, I'll go to bed now." Lux's heart had already flown to the resistance side, and he answered absentmindedly.
Mina Bontry wanted to say something else, but when she saw his nonchalant look, she shook her head, picked up her briefcase and walked out quickly. Outside the door, the bodyguard and driver were already waiting, and soon her The car disappeared into the night.
Lukes returned to the room and waited patiently for another 20 minutes. After confirming that his mother would not come back, he walked out and said to the robot butler: "You, go and help me prepare a midnight snack!"< br>
"Yes." The charging robot butler immediately agreed and walked towards the kitchen.
The moment it turned around, Lukes stepped forward and pressed the emergency shutdown button on the back of the butler's head. The robot butler immediately stopped all operations.
Then he ran out of the back door, followed the route planned for him by So-Gerrera and the resistance fighters to avoid surveillance, found a hover motorcycle in an inconspicuous place, and left.
...
"...a giant war machine, at least 20 meters in height, requiring a driver. The test content is related to the J-1 proton cannon and Hellfire long-range surface-to-air missile?" In the secret base of the resistance army , Saw Gerrera, Stella Gerrera and others looked at the information sent by Lux Bonteri and frowned.
"It looks like this is a large anti-air weapon? Is it a spaceship?" Saw Gerrera was a little confused.
"No, if it is a spaceship, the test method will not be like this. This should be a ground weapon." Stella Guerrera said, "And Tyron Heavy Industry actually sent a whole engineer The expert team came over, and it seems that they attach great importance to it."
"It's better to pay attention to it!" So-Gerrera said with a sneer: "The more they attach importance to this thing, the more attention it will cause when we destroy it. The sensation will be even greater! As long as we can destroy this THOR, our reputation will be unparalleled! More like-minded people will join our team!"
"But such a huge war machine must be the core of Sanji Rush's work recently, and the surrounding protection must be of no small importance. If we really want to attack it, we may suffer losses..." Stella - Gerrera said worriedly.
“When I decided to embark on this road of fighting for freedom, I had already made up my mind to face death and sacrifice!” Saw Gerrera said loudly.
Stella shook her head and said: "The problem now is that even with the intelligence obtained by Lukes, our knowledge of this THOR is still very limited, which is different from our previous battles. "
But So-Gerrera couldn't listen at all. He waved his hand and said: "That's right! If the information about such a secret war machine project is so easy to get, then there is something wrong! "
"But the problem is that we got this information, this secret war machine project," Stella retorted.
"But none of the other resistance brothers have mothers who are representatives of the planet's parliament." Lukes-Bontry was eager to prove his worth and argued.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!” So-Gerrera said loudly: “Didn’t you always say that the people are afraid? Then this time, I will tell them, don’t be afraid! Because, in Ang We can do anything on the planet Delon! We are the real masters of the planet Delon!"
"You have been blinded by this gamble!" Stella said angrily! road.
“If we are as cautious as you are, worried today that civilians will be affected, and worried tomorrow that the enemy will be too powerful, when will our great cause be achieved? You just watch each opportunity slip away from your eyes, And you are here to care about the gains and losses of some kittens and puppies?" So-Gerrera asked.
"That's because we are fighting separatism and the powerful robot army!" Stella was already furious, and her eyes were almost on fire.
"I have notified the surrounding branches, and they will come for reinforcements. When the time comes, we will work together to destroy the secret weapon! By then, we will have the support of the people on the entire planet!" Saw Gerrera said.
Stila was shocked, "Are you crazy? We have agreed long ago that transfers at the branch level should be decided by all of us through discussion! But you issued orders to those branches without authorization? Who gave you this power? ? "I have no power, only faith!" So-Gerrera said proudly: "I will lead everyone to victory!"
Stila gritted her teeth and said: "Among us, there are only brothers! There are no leaders! Every one of us is a brother, and every one of us is a leader!"
"I will win." So- Guerrera just repeated the words.
On the other side, as counselors and instructors, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano watched the quarrel between the black siblings, but did not say anything to stop it.
During the uprising on the planet Onderon, the Jedi Knights should reduce their sense of existence as much as possible, so as to create a world where the people of the planet resisted and chose to return to the Republic. Atmosphere.
After the counterattack began, the natural army of the Galactic Republic suffered defeats on many planets, so they adjusted their strategy. On the planet Onderon, where anti-separatist ideas are more widespread, Take this approach to cause an internal uprising to topple the planet.
The advantage of this is that the Galactic Republic does not need to spend a single soldier, nor does it need to invade directly, nor does it need to bear the risk of launching military operations that will reunite those planets.
Of course, the disadvantage is that there are not many planets with such a public opinion base. At the same time, such an action is time-consuming and is not as fast as directly sending troops to occupy it.
For the planet Onderon, the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic even has some extravagant hopes that this internal uprising will allow them to completely take over the Behemoth-class battlecruiser production line on this planet.
Whether you can do it or not is one thing, but first you have to dare to think.
Just like So-Gerrera now...
"Soo-Gerrera has become completely addicted to this gamble, which is not a good thing. I think we should stop them, Master ." Ahsoka Tano said with a frown.
Anakin Skywalker frowned, "In the past few weeks of operations, the resistance has proven that they can act independently, and we have also rigorously trained their warriors, even if they cannot follow Compared to clone troopers, but compared to a small number of droids, it's more than enough... so we should let them make their own decisions."
"Do you also support Saw Gerrera's approach? It's obvious that he is too radical!" Ahsoka Tano said.
Anakin shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't support his approach, and I need to tell you that I have a very bad premonition in the Force."
" Then why are you...?" Ahsoka Tano was a little surprised.
“We recently secretly transported a batch of weapons to the rebels. These weapons have not been consumed in recent operations, so the current strength of the rebels is at its peak. And... this secret weapon of separatism It also makes me very concerned, remember that time we destroyed their super tank on the planet Geonosis?" Anakin said.
Ahsoka Tano frowned, "Indeed, those three super tank prototypes are almost impossible to destroy. It is hard to imagine how much damage they will cause us once they are mass-produced and put into the battlefield in large numbers. Hurt.”
"So, this is what I'm worried about..." Anakin Skywalker looked at Saw Gerrera from a distance with a serious expression, and said: "At least I agree with one of his sentences - when we choose to fight, At that time, we have actually chosen to face the greatest danger."
"But master..."
"You should know what choice I would make if it were me. "
"But they are just ordinary people..."
"So this time, we will help them directly!" Anakin Skywalker said decisively: "No matter what the conspiracy is. No matter what the trap is, we will crush it completely!”
...
At the same time, in Aziz City, the capital of the planet Onderon, there is the central Yoran Square and the Temple of Unity.
Mina Bonteri came here in a special car, but when she entered the temple, she found that there were not many people here today, and it did not look like there was a meeting at all.
Is it a small secret meeting? Mina thought to herself.
Soon, she was led by the waiter to the throne room, only to see the planet's regent Sanji Lashi, and the supreme military commander Akhenate Tandin were already waiting here, and were still standing behind them. With a robot?
Mina Bontry frowned. The shape of the glyph-shaped sensor on the robot's head was very similar to the T-series tactical robots in the Confederate Army of Independent Systems, but in terms of overall shape, this robot looked more majestic. Like a real general.
And this robot has been standing there with its hands behind its back, as steady as a mountain. It is hard to imagine that a program-controlled Tin Man can create such a feeling.
Mina Bontri also discovered that besides herself, there were two other people here, namely the planet’s Minister of Interior and the Minister of Agriculture.
What kind of meeting do these unrelated departments want to have together? Mina Bontri had more doubts in her mind.
At this time, Sanji Rush spoke, "Welcome, Congressman Mina Bontri. Come, let me introduce, this is General Kalani." He pointed behind him That robot.
"Are you Kalani? The one who sent me the wrong message?" Mina Bontry suddenly remembered the message she sent to the wrong person a few days ago.
"I'm very sorry, code name H7-N9-M4-T4. I have to tell you that the message was not sent to the wrong person..." General Kalani said in that steady voice.
