Chapter 1240: Storm in the North (End)
1240, Storm in the North (End)
The Galactic Republic is now in the north, especially in the direction of the northwest. It can indeed be said to be a pool. Mud, almost a desperate situation.
Even when the planet Ord-Mantel was occupied by the separatists with great fanfare and trumpeting, the Republic did not dare to say anything - because their net was cast too wide and it was no longer able to contain it.
The planet Scipio is being invaded by the Geth, and Master Windu is leading an army to fight fiercely there. Moreover, after all, the Interstellar Banking Association (S) has just split off, and the Galactic Republic must also set an example for them and provide guarantee for their safety and credit, so there is no more power to reinforce the North.
Of course, the more important reason is the somewhat inexplicable information from Speaker Sheev Palpatine. Based on this bizarre but horrifying information, the Republic Intelligence Department and the Republic Supreme Strategic Command, after thinking about it, believed that if the geth and the Separatists really join forces, the Republic army will only adopt a passive strategy in the north. .
They are ready to abandon the entire northwest territory and redeploy their defenses with the capital of the Seventh Army, the industrial planet Bilbringi in the inner ring star sector, as the core.
But fortunately, Thorn-Hill's Interstellar Banking Association (M) is also undergoing its own integration. After they settled on the planet Oud-Mantel, they did not take any more actions. , just continue to carry out large-scale construction on this planet, and basically treat the Central Administration, the nominal government of this planet, as a transparent person.
However, the geth are still raging in the north! Still hasn't stopped!
One month later, in March of 20BBY, because they could not withstand the intrusion and massacre of the geth, located in the central area of the northwest of the galaxy, led by Ansion and Malarian, The 'Malarian Alliance' announced its departure from the Galactic Republic and joined the Confederation of Independent Systems.
This alliance includes seven planets, all of which are among the most powerful planets in the galaxy. Because these planets are very close to each other, the distance between them is no more than 3 seconds, so these seven planets signed the "Keitumite Mutual Military Treaty" (The Keitumite Mutual Military Treaty) and established a regional alliance to advance and retreat together.
For this reason, the Malarian Alliance is still a relatively loud and powerful local force in the northern region of the galaxy. Now that the Malarian Alliance has directly withdrawn from the Galactic Republic and sought asylum from the Confederation of Independent Systems, it has to be said that it is another fatal blow to the Galactic Republic's control in the north.
After receiving the request from the Malarian Alliance, the combined fleets of the Fourth Group and the Interstellar Banking Association (M) attacked again, symbolically playing ping-pong-pong near the planet Anxin on the outskirts of the alliance. After a few battles, some of the wreckage of the spaceship that could not be seen was dropped, indicating that the battle was really "tragic", and then told the Malarian Alliance that the geth had been repulsed.
After escaping from the planet Coruscant, Musul, the representative of the Malarian Alliance, also tacitly praised the strength and efficiency of the Confederation of Independent Systems fleet, saying that he joined the Confederation of Independent Systems. The most correct decision. This Galactic Republic, which cannot even protect our safety, is a scumbag.
As for Fan Ke, the former Governor of the 8th Army of the Republic who fled from the north, he was immediately arrested by agents of the Galactic Republic Intelligence Department after returning to Coruscant. He was then sent to a military court. Had a secret trial.
The trial was personally presided over by the Speaker of the Galactic Senate, Sheev Palpatine. According to the jury members who participated in the trial, during the trial, Palpatine almost flew into a rage, pointed at Fan Ke's nose and cursed, saying His stupidity alone brought the economy of the entire Republic into a pit, and the Interstellar Banking Association, which could have been peacefully accepted, was now split into two. As a result, the Republic now has almost no money available and has to issue 10 trillion new currencies. .
You must know that these currencies are not serious credit ingots cast from rare metals, but a kind of credit currency with no actual value. It is an electronic currency without any standard support. This is equivalent to overdrafting the galaxy. The credit of the Republic. This can only solve the short-term problem. In the long-term, this 10 trillion credit overdraft is enough to bankrupt the government of the Galactic Republic!
All of this is due to the fact that this idiot Fan Ke easily destroyed the entire main fleet of the Eighth Army!
Finally, Fan Ke was sentenced to death and would be executed immediately, and his and Eighth Army Admiral Longo's family properties would also be confiscated.
Such a severe punishment is indeed the most severe in the Galactic Republic, which rarely uses the death penalty.
This shows Palpatine's hatred for Fan Ke. From another perspective, it also shows that Tang Xiao severely defeated him this time.
The secret chess game of Geth that Tang Xiao arranged more than ten years ago finally played its greatest role. In fact, it was just an unintentional intervention at first. He did not connect the Geth with the Interstellar Banking Association at the time. He just wanted to find a suitable place to place the Geth and serve as his back-up man.
But there is also inevitability among countless accidents... After all, Tang Xiao is the apprentice of Darth Plagueis, and Darth Plagueis is also from the Interstellar Banking Association , the secret club he founded, Sochoron Satellite, is naturally located over there at the home base of the Northwest Interstellar Banking Association.
In addition, the planet Sojoran was later destroyed. When Tang Xiao released the geth, as a person under his direct control, he was not far away from his loyal allies, the Kali people, and there was no Wherever it is recorded on the star map of the Milky Way, the Sochoron satellite will naturally become the first choice.
Therefore, the rise of the geth was naturally linked to the Interstellar Banking Association. Later, Tang Xiao and San-Ciel took advantage of the situation and dug a hole to bury the Eighth Army, splitting the Interstellar Banking Association. In fact, They are all planning with what they have on hand.
The northern border of the Milky Way, judging from the degree of development of the planets here, is actually not a very important place. To put it bluntly, it is the countryside. But the control of the northern border means that the basic foundations of several forces such as the Kali, the Geth, the Interstellar Banking Association, and the Fourth Group have finally been stabilized.
In this direction, just like the southwest of the Milky Way where Dawn Planet is located, it truly has the capital to compete with the Galactic Republic!
Palpatine actually doesn't care what happens to the North. What he really hates is that he failed to fully accept the Interstellar Banking Association, and Tang Xiao knew that in the original plot, he used Rush-K Lowes did this.
In the original plot, in the third and final year of the war, the Confederacy of Independent Systems had actually been cut off from its source of funds. This was also one of the important reasons why the Confederacy failed so quickly in the last year. one.
But now, Tang Xiao's plan is equivalent to freeing the Confederation of Independent Systems from Palpatine's secret control economically, and also allowing his original plan to proceed smoothly step by step.
After that, Marcellin Wessel, the governor of the Seventh Army of the Republic, relied on his abilities and skills far beyond Fan Ke's to successfully integrate some of the forces in the north and bring the Geth and The entry of separatists into the northern inner region was delayed by at least two years, which is a story for another day.
Sheev Palpatine also quickly emerged from the shadow of the failure of the Interstellar Banking Association's split. Anyway, the lifespan of the Galactic Republic has also entered the countdown, and some things now just make him Some of the arrangements are just started in advance.
When the Galactic Republic collapses, the 10 trillion credit currency will naturally become waste paper, which can be used to get rid of the economic crisis that his empire faced at the beginning of its establishment.
As for how many people are bankrupt in the middle, this is not something he needs to consider.
But soon, there was something that he had to think about...
One of the three major industrial giants in the galaxy-
Lundili Interstellar Power Company! !
