1932. The end of the Confederacy of Independent Systems (5)
After Count Dooku was killed in the mutiny, General Grievous quickly abducted a fleet including the last super battleship of the Confederacy of Independent Systems-the Destruction-class battleship. The small fleet inside fled to the chaotic Hutt space.
What’s even more terrible is that General Grievous also killed Ainle-Tim during the mutiny. This directly led to the death of Count Dooku, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems was even No one stood up to clean up the mess!
Among those who survived the mutiny, no one was willing to accept the hot potato of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Originally, some congressmen wanted to elect Per-Nudo, the chairman of the Super Communications Group, to take over as the head of the Confederation of Independent Systems, but Per-Nudo was not a fool. Whoever becomes the head of state will be attacked by the Galactic Empire. This It's tantamount to seeking death!
So the next day Per-Nudo announced that the Super Communications Industry Group would withdraw from the war and be willing to accept the punishment of the Galactic Empire. He took away a lot of wealth and money, and went to the Galactic Empire to bribe officials to find a way out for himself.
In addition, core members such as Parcell Argent and Claire Underwood fled one after another. Even Admiral Trench, who was responsible for the defense of the Laxus subplanet, also took the fleet away. For a time, the Confederacy of Independent Systems couldn't find anyone to lead the overall situation!
As a result, after three or four objections, the congressmen of the Confederation of Independent Systems elected a congressman named Spar to become the head of state. Spar was a congressman from a small and inconspicuous planet. After he was promoted to the position of head of state, he had no ability to clean up the mess. As a result, he was assassinated in a riot within two days.
So everything was in complete chaos. The administrative machinery of the Confederation of Independent Systems was paralyzed. Officials at all levels surrendered and fled, and daily administrative work could no longer be carried out. Beginning on the third day after Count Dooku's death, those remaining systems that were still loyal to the Confederation of Independent Systems no longer received even a single administrative order from the Laxus subplanet.
From this point on, although no one has stood up to announce it, the Confederation of Independent Systems has in fact completely collapsed.
However, a very strange situation emerged at this time. Although the administrative core of the Federation of Independent Systems had completely collapsed at this time, many of the participating planets did not jump out and declare independence. Do whatever you need to do, and still default to the fact that the Confederation of Independent Systems still exists.
As Count Dooku said before, no matter how bad the Federation of Independent Systems is, it still gives a little hope to those desperate outer ring galaxies. Even if Count Dooku is dead, even if the Confederation of Independent Systems collapses, that glimmer of hope still exists.
These planets still hold on to the last illusion and want to grasp this glimmer of hope.
“The Confederation of Independent Systems has completely become history.” Tang Xiao said solemnly, “This means a very serious reality for us—that is, the Galactic Empire, and there is no other The enemy, their spearhead, will be directed at us."
"The finances of the Galactic Empire cannot support the continuation of the war, and we are safe in the short term." Prime Minister Francis Underwood said. His wife, Claire Underwood, the former administrative minister of the Confederation of Independent Systems, has returned to the Dawn Planet and stands beside Francis. Claire's appointment will be issued in a few days. She will serve as the deputy governor of the Haven sector, preparing to replace Governor Graham, who is expected to retire in a few years.
"But even if there is no formal war, the Galactic Empire will definitely attack us secretly in all aspects. The Galactic Empire has invested a lot of resources in intelligence. If they tilt their power to our side, our intelligence and security work will be affected. It’s also a very severe test,” said National Security Agency Director Peggy Carter.
Minister of Military Intelligence and Salarian native Saratan Morse said: "We can take the initiative to invest and support the resistance movement behind the Galactic Empire, and involve the energy of the Galactic Empire."
Tang Xiao nodded and said: "This is work that must be done, and it will be the focus of our future work. The Galactic Empire's rear is unstable, and resistance movements and uprisings occur almost every day. We need to ensure that the Empire takes the main All the strength is used to extinguish the flames of resistance."
"Is this what you often call a spark?" General Ling nodded.
“Yes and no.” Tang Xiao said, “Now, our Kingdom of Dawn will face the most severe threat. Even during the Clone Wars, the pressure we faced will not be greater than it is now. Galaxy. The resistance movement behind the Empire is still just the beginning, and until they take hold, we will always be the ones resisting the pressure of the Galactic Empire."
"No matter what, now that Count Dooku is dead, I think we can immediately announce Count Dooku's crimes and expose his collusion with Darth Sidious to push the Confederacy of Independent Systems into war! In this way, We can definitely re-establish our banner and gain the allegiance of those remaining galaxies of the Confederacy!" Newt Gunray, the Governor of the Trade Federation, said proudly.
To be honest, even Tang Xiao didn't know why he was happy. Maybe it was because he felt that Count Dooku was dead, and his fellow Taoist was not dead, so he felt that he had escaped? Or does he think that his status in the Principality of Dawn will be higher than that in the Confederation of Independent Systems?
"If we do this, it will make the Galactic Empire regard us as a threat even more. It is difficult to say whether they will take any more dangerous actions." Chief of General Staff Qi Jian shook his head and said, "According to our plan, the Confederacy of Independent Systems will put all the blame on General Grievous, and Count Dooku will be packaged as a hero who fought to the death for the freedom of the galaxy. As for his collusion with Darth -The dark history of Sidious will be buried forever."
Claire Underwood stood up and said: "I will secretly organize a group of planetary councilors. , organize a public memorial event for Count Dooku in their own name, and completely characterize General Grievous's mutiny. After this, the Laxus subplanet will continue to remain silent, neither surrendering nor surrendering. Resistance, if the Galactic Empire's fleet arrives, then let it take its course."
"Is there no armed resistance, but using your silence to express your determination to fight for freedom... A good plan. As the administrative capital of the former independent galaxy confederation, their attitude will affect many planets that are still in the confederation. The flame of resistance cannot be extinguished by the surrender of Laxus Subplanet," said Helmu, the chief minister of the cabinet. Ter-Zemo nodded in agreement.
