Chapter 2064 The Rise of the Rebels (Part 2)
2065. The Rise of the Rebels (Part 2)
After making some arrangements for the actions of the rebels here, Padmé Amidala arrived In another separate communication room in the basement, I checked the time and then opened the communication.
After waiting for about a few minutes, the communication was connected, and the image of a mature woman in her thirties was projected in the holographic projection.
It is surprisingly the Imperial Councilor from the planet Chandrila, Mon Mothma!
"Sorry, leader. The patrols on Coruscant have been intensified a lot in recent days, and it took me a little longer to get rid of those patrols." Mon Mothma also used the term 'leader' to call Padmé Armida. pull.
In the political arena, Padmé Amidala is her predecessor. Although she is only two years younger than Padmé, when she first became a member of the planet Chandrila in 32 BBY and still held the aura of being the youngest member of the Republic Parliament, Padmé Amidala had already served as Na The Queen of the Planet Naboo eliminated the Trade Federation's invasion of the planet Naboo, impeached the former Speaker Finis Valorum, and established Sheev Palpatine as the new Speaker.
However, Mon Mothma, who was born in a noble family, actually had different opinions with Padmé Amidala at the beginning. However, as they spent more and more time together in the parliament, Mon Mothma... Mothma was gradually impressed by the brave, straightforward, and intelligent Padmé Amidala.
In the process of opposing Speaker Palpatine's autocratic power, among those who gradually came together, Padmé Amidala was actually the leader.
So for Mon Mothma, Padmé Amidala has always been her idol. When Padmé was determined to use force against Emperor Palpatine and began to form a rebel army, Mon Mothma was the first to stand up to support her, and he also used all his resources to assist the uprising. military activities.
And she naturally called Padmé Amidala 'leader'.
Padmé Amidala smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. Seeing that you are safe and sound over there is the most important thing to me. If it weren't for this action being too important, I didn’t want to involve you too much.”
“No, all of this is necessary,” Mon Mothma shook his head and said seriously, “I have made all preparations. , including exile to the end of the world. As long as I can overthrow the reactionary rule of the Sith Lord and restore justice and freedom to the galaxy, I am willing to pay any price."
She paused and then said: "Yesterday, Bail Organa. The congressman has formally submitted an impeachment request to the Imperial Parliament. The evidence of corruption against Uloda, the Governor of the 14th Imperial Army, will be officially launched during today's meeting, and the Imperial Supreme Court will also participate. According to the previous arrangement, I will still defend Uloda from the position of the loyalists and confront Senator Bail Organa, but if nothing happens, Uloda will be dismissed.”
Padmé said: "But this is just the beginning. The Empire will appoint a new governor soon, and we cannot let this happen quickly."
"Fathy is ready. He will compete for the position of governor of the 14th Army. This will be a destructive competition, and the purpose is to delay the time for the overall situation of the 14th Army to be settled." Mon-Mosma Said, "But... what on earth are you going to do to get the planet Rylos out of the Empire's rule?"
Padmé shook her head and said, "The fewer people who know the full picture of a plan, the better. Okay. I'm sorry, Councilman Mothma, I can't let you know this, it will only increase your risk."
Mont-Mosma nodded and said, "I understand, leader. I will do my best to ensure the success of Uloda's impeachment motion and delay the formation of a new governor of the 14th Army. In addition, I am also trying to raise more funds, but recently. Palpatine has also noticed that there are some abnormal funds flowing out. He ordered a thorough investigation of the finances of 29 planets, and Chandrila is on the list. "
"Then you should be careful. I will solve the funding problem, don't expose yourself because of this trivial matter. If you need to settle the account, I can also use our funds to help." Padmé Amidala said.
"It's okay so far. I can pass part of the gap onto Fache. He may be accused of corruption, but you also know that the crime of corruption lies in the officialdom of the empire. Probably the most common thing. Fache is very determined and he knows what he has to do," Mon-Mosma said.
"Then you should be more careful. After tomorrow's meeting, please reply to me as soon as possible." Padmé nodded.
"Okay, leader." Mon Mothma smiled slightly, saluted Padmé, and then closed the communication.
Padmé Amidala was not finished yet, she connected with another communication, "General Dodenna, are your battleships ready?"
Communication At the other end was a middle-aged man wearing a Galactic Empire navy uniform. Judging from his badge, his current military rank was major general.
Jane Dodennar, the former Vice Admiral of the Galactic Republic Navy, and Vice Admiral Skared jointly commanded the Battle of Rendili System, but suffered a disastrous defeat due to Severance Tann's strategy. . After that, he was abandoned by the Galactic Republic for a while, but later through a series of efforts, he returned to the army again and was promoted to rear admiral again.
He smoothed his curly hair casually and said: "The two Empire-class Star Destroyers are in good condition, almost as if they had just left the factory. But according to the records on the battleships, they have experienced more than 20 battles. A meritorious battleship... It's strange. The 'donor' you told me about is very clever. I think he is at least an admiral in the Imperial Army."
Padmé- Amidala said: "Don't worry about the origins of these two Star Destroyers. The more you know, the more dangerous it is."
"So, you are the most dangerous one, aren't you?" Jane Dodenner smiled.
"This is enough. We cannot let such risks expand." Padmé said: "Since these two Imperial-class Star Destroyers can be used and the identification codes are no problem, then your mission can also be It's starting to unfold. I will send you the instructions from the current Governor of the 14th Army, Uloda. From today on, you will be the commander of the reinforcements that Uloda personally ordered."
"I understand. I'll take care of it." Major General Jane Dodenner smiled, gave a military salute, and ended the communication. Next, Padmé Amidala conducted several more communications to arrange all aspects of the plan. If a third party saw her communication list at this time, they would definitely be shocked.
Because the people Padmé contacted at this time involved a series of high-ranking and powerful beings such as the Galactic Empire Parliament, the army, administrative agencies, local officials, etc.! It’s no wonder that she has almost magical powers and knows everything about the Galactic Empire. It’s because she has the support of these enlightened officials and military officers!
Padmé Amidala had a very deep relationship with the Galactic Republic military because of Anakin Skywalker. In addition, she was very active in the Republic Parliament, and a large number of members were willing to stand on her side. The combination of many factors allowed her to use many connections to weave a huge network to connect the Galactic Empire. shrouded in it.
Of course, Palpatine's extremely brutal behavior is also the biggest contributor to Padmé Amidala's influence being so huge.
And now, with the support of these people and the planning of Padmé Amidala, the uprising on the planet Rylos will deal a heavy blow to the Galactic Empire!
...
For the Galactic Empire, starting from the second day, the situation on the planet Rylos was like a wild horse running wild, racing straight away in a completely uncontrollable direction.
First of all, Governor Uloda, who was originally responsible for rebuilding the 14th Army of the Empire, was impeached by opposition members such as Bail Organa. The opposition members directly submitted a large amount of evidence, clearly pointing out that Uloda had embezzled a large amount of money. The funds originally used to rebuild the 14th Army were used to enrich his own pockets.
What is even more unacceptable is that Uloda actually has contact with several interstellar pirates. He is planning to use these pirates to support the self-respect of the 14th Army after the reconstruction of the 14th Army. status to make yourself more powerful.
Such a conclusive accusation forced Uloda to leave the planet Rylos, the headquarters of the 14th Army, and go to the Empire Center (formerly the planet Coruscant) to attend a meeting.
But until the impeachment proceedings are completed, Uloda will still be the governor of the 14th Army. However, the worst part is that because the evidence against him is very conclusive, Uloda must devote himself wholeheartedly to dealing with this crisis that is related to his entire political career during this period.
The even better thing is that Uloda seems to have the support of some members of parliament led by Mon Mothma. They continue to help Uloda clear his name and oppose the opposition of Bail Organa. Sent legislators to fight tit for tat, further delaying the impeachment that should have been certain.
Wuloda never imagined that the pirates who came to discuss cooperation at that time were actually members of the rebel army. They had been robbing official supply ships of the Galactic Empire, but they did not We will not rob private merchant ships. But for the Galactic Empire, there seems to be no difference between the two. They are both pirates anyway.
While Uloda was struggling in the center of the empire, the two Night Watch-class frigates that were going to the planet Rylos to strengthen their mobile patrols according to the original plan were intercepted near the planet Tythe. stop. What intercepted them was a formation of two Imperial-class Star Destroyers commanded by Imperial Rear Admiral Jan Dodenner.
Rear Admiral Jan Dodenner directly presented the instructions from the 14th Army Governor Uloda, requesting to take over the two Night Watch-class frigates. Although the commanders of the two frigates were a little confused, it was impossible to go to Governor Uloda for confirmation now, and since the two Empire-class Star Destroyers were actually here, they still chose to believe it.
Then, the two Night Watch-class frigates were immediately replaced - Jan Dodenner simply requested a meeting and boarded the battleship. A group of extremely elite rebel soldiers wearing Imperial Navy uniforms. In ten minutes, the two frigates were completely occupied.
So at this time, Jan Dodenner had two Empire-class Star Destroyers and two Nightwatch-class frigates, and he also had real transfer orders from the frigate commander.
When his powerful formation, which was completely beyond the plan, arrived on the planet Rylos, the governor's adjutant who stayed behind on the planet Rylos had almost no doubts - the hierarchy in the Imperial Navy was very strict, and a squadron of The commander was not something that his adjutant dared to offend.
If the 14th Army has been rebuilt and the army and fleet have been deployed, then the adjutant can completely ignore a mere squadron. But now, the 14th Army has just restored its number, and their governor is still guilty. Under such circumstances, the adjutant naturally does not dare to have any objection to Jan Dodenner, the fleet commander who has just been transferred from the center of the empire. idea.
The current 14th Army is completely chaotic, lacking unified command and leaderless. Jan Dodenner also struck while the iron was hot. He showed off his authority during the meeting, put on airs and scolded the original commander, and then demanded that all the warships be immediately integrated together for reorganization and reorganization.
In fact, the two Empire-class Star Destroyers led by Major General Dodenner played the most critical role in this matter. Because if he only leads two Victory-class ships, or two Aquitens-class ships, his words will not be very convincing at all.
But now the power of the two Empire-class Star Destroyers and the two Night Watch-class frigates he brought is directly similar to the strength of the original garrison fleet of Rylos planet, and now it is under the control of the Empire Center The appointment was directly signed by Governor Uloda, so the commander of the garrison fleet accepted the reorganization without much doubt.
What does regrouping mean? As a reminder, there were originally two Imperial-class Star Destroyers in the garrison fleet, but the Marines above these two Empire-class ships are now stationed on the surface of the planet. But the two Empire-class Star Destroyers brought by Rear Admiral Jan Dodenner are fully manned!
Two legions, 18,000 rebel soldiers!
When reorganizing, the crews of both sides will also be reorganized. So facing 18,000 elite rebel soldiers, the entire garrison fleet changed owners without firing a shot!
At the same time, on the surface of Rylos, the Twi'leks immediately rose up and launched an uprising. A large number of Twi'lek warriors picked up a large number of weapons obtained from unknown sources, stormed the municipal centers of various cities, and arrested imperial officials.
But the uprising slogan put forward by these Twi'lek rebels was unexpected. They claimed that they were revolting to support Planet Governor Uloda! They demanded that the Galactic Empire immediately withdraw all charges against Uloda and return Uloda to the planet Rylos!
