Chapter 1391: Retrospective
1391: Retrograde
On the planet Onderon, in front of the Temple of Unity, Yoran Square.
In the square where General Kalani once publicly executed Senator Mina Bontri, the guillotine was once again erected high. Wearing a red king's costume and holding a scepter, the new king of the planet Onderon, Saw Gerrera, stood proudly on the stage with a cruel smile on his face.
Behind him, stood hundreds of fierce-looking soldiers. These were all like-minded people who had accumulated experience in previous resistance activities.
Without exception, these people all hold great hatred for the current government of the planet Onderon, the separatism, and even the Galactic Republic. They believe that everyone around them betrayed them. It was both sides of this war that made them lose everything. It was also the incompetence of the former rulers of their planet that made them live like mice.
In short, that is the idea that I am right and the world is wrong.
And when such people gather together and even become the king of the planet, one can imagine what a disaster it will be.
With the support of Wilhuff Tarkin, Saw Gerrera immediately secured his position as king, and the first thing he did after taking power was revenge!
General Akhenate Tandin was shackled, and two soldiers pushed him down on the guillotine, but he only had a contemptuous smile on his face.
After experiencing four completely different rulers, Ramses Dundup, Sanji Rush, General Kalani, and Saw Gerrera, he saw it through.
“I am trying you for first-degree war crimes! Akhenate Tandin! You have committed an unforgivable crime against the people of Onderon! And now, you are sentenced to Yes—death penalty!" So-Gerrera stood on the high platform arrogantly, pointing at Tan Ding and giving orders.
Tantine sneered: "The people? Haha, you actually have the nerve to talk about the word people! So-Gerrera, after all, you are just a terrorist, a chess piece that can be abandoned at any time. ..."
But So-Gerrera no longer wanted to hear it. He waved his hand gently, and the cold knife fell, cutting off the second half of General Tandin's sentence and also him. 's head.
At the same time, more than 30 senior generals at all levels of the original Onderon Royal Guard and more than 70 senior government officials were killed at the same time.
Rivers of blood flowed, heads rolled, and almost all the people on the planet Onderon fell silent.
But this is just the beginning!
So-Gerrera promoted all his cronies and appointed them to positions such as Minister of Defense, Minister of Agriculture, and Congressional Representatives. Completely ignoring that those people may not have even completed universal education, or may not have any professional abilities at all.
For a time, the officialdom of the entire planet Onderon was filled with chaos and demons, making it impossible to carry out normal government functions. And So Guerrera is a complete anarchist. The reason why he wants to be king is purely for his own desire for power.
Of course, he still knows very well where his power comes from.
Therefore, Saw Gerrera gave in to all of Governor Wilhuff Tarkin's conditions. Tarkin wants to build a huge supply base on the planet, including all aspects of ammunition supply, food, medical care, and accommodation, because he has an army of 7 million, and his target is directly at the Dexon satellite that is still standing.
In order to satisfy Governor Tarkin's demands, Saw Gerrera vacated almost the entire city of Izz. He began to implement a huge immigration plan, driving the residents of Izi City to surrounding cities and even shelters, and then handed over the vacated residences to Republic soldiers.
You know, those 7 million soldiers are already larger than the entire population of Izzy City. Therefore, he also freed up more than 90 hospitals in the city for Tarkin's use, but refused entry to people from this planet.
Of course it is impossible for all the indigenous people in Ize City to move away, but many people are still left behind to serve as laborers, waiters, and even prostitutes. So-Gerrera recruited a large number of residents to participate in the construction of factories and barracks, and also recruited many laborers to clear the high-rise buildings that blocked the roads that he had previously blown up. When the workers on the planet Onderon dug up the ruins of the building, they saw the corpses that were unrecognizable and looked frightened. They all cried bitterly and were horrified. But they were still coerced by the soldiers of the So-Gerrera regime and picked up tools to clean up the mountains of ruins and debris.
Naturally, Wilhuff Tarkin didn't care. He only gave Saw Gerrera three days and requested that Izzy City be organized into a usable barracks within three days for his army to attack Dexon. satellite.
In the past few days, Galactic Republic soldiers have been stationed in Izzy City. Almost every moment, an endless stream of gray uniformed soldiers carrying blaster rifles entered the city from outside the city.
These soldiers are all ordinary people, not well-disciplined clone soldiers. It is actually not difficult to predict what will happen when they pour into this city that is completely open to them.
Of course, for now, the soldiers of the Republic still maintain a certain degree of military discipline. At most, they only occasionally rob some interesting things from the local residents. For example, the latest holographic player, a quantum timer, a crystal necklace, etc. Worse things have not happened yet.
But who can guarantee it?
After all, under the current administrative system of the Galactic Republic, the reason why these soldiers chose to serve as soldiers means that their family conditions are very average. So when they arrive on another strange planet and look at all the colorful things, can they not be tempted?
The reason why there is not yet is because the commander headed by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker still has absolute control over the army.
Although Anakin Skywalker was angry about what was happening, he did not go directly to Governor Tarkin to reason.
Because he understands that all of this is a last resort and must happen.
With an army of 7 million people, including a large number of fighter jets, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery, it is impossible for such a huge military force to launch an attack directly from a spacecraft. Because the supplies consumed by this army every day are astronomical!
It is impossible to transfer such a huge material demand through spaceships unless they increase the number of transport ships in their hands by another 50 times!
They must have a place with enough space to take off, land and maintain fighter jets, for the army to live, for the wounded to be treated, and for hundreds of millions of tons of ammunition supplies to be stacked and transported.
Anakin-Skywalker has retreated further and further from the bottom line of this war. He had to watch all this happen, but he had no choice. He even had to help the evildoer to help Tarkin. The Governor and So-Gerrera quelled the rising uprisings and riots.
It has been two days since he and the Dream Sisters arrived in Izzy City, but they have not been able to find the whereabouts of Stella Guerrera at all, let alone the whereabouts of the masked woman.
It was as if they had evaporated from the air.
But finding it is not easy. The city of Ize is now in complete chaos - people are being forcibly relocated, large numbers of soldiers are entering, barracks are being built, ruins are being cleared, corpses are being burned...
They have no ability to get out of here at all. Find your target among tens of millions of people on the move.
