1744, The Death of Liberalism (End)
19BBY, April 23.
Three days have passed since April 20, known as the "Blood Celebration Day"...
In three days, the Model Sector has almost undergone earth-shaking changes. The originally peaceful and peaceful life was replaced by the terrifying white terror. Sector Governor Volgograd-Kanidi seemed to be a different person, commanding a large number of
The army and combat droids conducted a large-scale cleansing operation across the entire sector.
The original public impression of Governor Canidi was that he was approachable, affable, and at the same time a man of great talent and ambition. He could squat next to the pioneering land and eat lunch with the workers, or he could lead millions of troops to fight to the death with the Galactic Republic.
He led the immigrants in the sector to build the Model sector bit by bit, open up wasteland, and defeat foreign enemies. It can be said that his efforts are indispensable for the development of the Model sector to this day. It can even be said that it is because of Governor Canidi
The existence of the Model Star Sector can lead to such rapid development.
Almost everyone thinks that Governor Canidi is a member of the Model Sector, and he seems to have never expressed his stance on the issue of self-control in the sector. Therefore, almost everyone also thinks that Governor Canidi acquiesced.
The sector is autonomous, but his position prevents him from expressing his position publicly.
Therefore, those liberals believed that once the time came, Governor Canidi would definitely follow the general trend and support sector autonomy.
However, they thought wrong...
Volgograd-Kanidi has a huge character flaw. He is indecisive on many issues. Sometimes he would rather be an ostrich and bury his head and pretend not to see it than face those issues directly.
.But as a soldier, even before boarding the mothership, he was a high-ranking military commander, Volgograd-Kanidi, but he was very clear on big issues of right and wrong.
In other words, when he is forced into a desperate situation, Canidi will burst out with very powerful power.
Tang Xiao actually didn't think of this level at first. He just felt that Canidi was too decadent and should be pushed hard. At that time, the fourth civilization had just started, and there was no way to satisfy such a rare person like him.
A master of conditions was watching the show, so he was forced to do this and that.
Later, I discovered that this trick seemed to be very effective, so Tang Xiao's strategy for employing Canidi was to force him. And Canidi did not disappoint Tang Xiao...
When he was pushed into a hurry, he could even close the planetary shield and directly let the Republic troops land on the planet Annaji. He could also take the initiative to expose the coordinates of the waterway and let the Republic fleet raid the Dawn planet. This kind of thing that no one else would even dare to think of, he did it at his fingertips, and finally
A brilliant victory was also achieved.
And this time, the same is true.
Those who wanted to seek independence for the sector, including He Yuan and Jin Chen, saw the indecisive Canidi. But what they saw in Tang Xiao's eyes was a wise and decisive one.
Canidi!
"Blood Celebration Day" is the bloody result of this misplaced judgment!
Tens of thousands of people were killed on the spot, millions were injured, and more than five million people were arrested! This is the answer sheet Volgograd-Kanidi gave to the people of the Model Sector on the "Blood Celebration Day".
These bloody figures tell the truth to everyone in the Model sector who fantasizes about sectoral autonomy. Wanting autonomy will always be just a dream.
Now, this great purge is still going on. The compulsory census and the arrests of counter-rebels have made the people of the entire sector panic and shrouded in terror.
However, it is precisely because of such a big purge that some forces behind the scenes have surfaced.
In fact, as a saying goes, the so-called revolution is a combination of a few careerists and a majority of emotional people. This sentence is actually full of loopholes, but it is very suitable for the current situation in the Model Sector.
In this galaxy, there is indeed a liberal trend of thought, and it is still a very popular idea. However, the sector autonomy revolution broke out only in the Model sector. In this process, the introduction of a large number of immigrants was certainly one of the main reasons.
But there are still deeply hidden factors, which are some powerful factions that emerged during the construction of the sector.
For example, He Yuan, who was previously the adjutant of Governor Canidi and had an overview of the internal affairs of the sector, and Jin Chen, who initially followed Canidi to fight everywhere and gradually grew up and was promoted to the level of lieutenant general... Once the Model sector becomes autonomous,
Then He Yuan is likely to be the Prime Minister of the new government of the sector, and Jin Chen is likely to be the Minister of Defense!
This is a leap in status!
So there is a reason why these people support sector autonomy. Star sector autonomy can bring them substantial benefits!
Another example is some mine owners or factory owners. If the star region is not autonomous, then they will provide raw materials to the Principality of Dawn, basically at cost price, and the money they make will not be much. If it is autonomous, then they can follow
The Principality of Liming negotiates business on an equal footing, and even raises prices for some goods that are in short supply! The profit difference between them is also the same as the sky and the earth!
After having such a reason, when they see the liberal ideas emerging in the Model Sector, they will naturally secretly add fuel to the fire and let the liberal ideas spread widely.
In the eyes of the indecisive Volgograd-Kanidi, these things were just the political leanings of these people and personal ideas that should be respected. He did not think that it was because these people themselves could benefit from sector autonomy.
Later, by the time he gradually realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
As a result, he once naively thought that it might be okay if the status quo was maintained. This is a typical ostrich mentality - as long as something doesn't happen in front of me, then I can pretend it doesn't exist.
If Tang Xiao hadn't forced him, he really wouldn't have made it this far. This was the reason why Tang Xiao said before that he didn't understand politics at all.
But his indecisiveness does not mean that he is disloyal to Tang Xiao and the fourth civilization. After being forced to a dead end, he took the bloodiest step just as Tang Xiao expected!
During this great purge, Volgograd-Kanidi used the Beast Legion as the core to arrest a large number of liberals and rioting people. Darth Lilim led ghost agents to arrest those behind the scenes in question.
There was a bloody storm!
He Yuan and Jin Chen were not killed for their own reasons, but Das-Lilim was never so polite to others! In just three days, hundreds of senior officials and entrepreneurs,
The powerful people were assassinated with extremely bloody methods, and in many places not even a single person was left alive!
And on the third day, in an industrial area on the planet Annaji, someone finally discovered hundreds of corpses dead inside! And the corpse of the Semiresian entrepreneur Pikara was even rotting and smelly!
Such a scene shocks everyone!
Frontal suppression and arrests, coupled with covert kidnappings and assassinations, quickly suppressed the liberal trend of thought in the Model Sector. For a time, even every household in the Model Sector hung a sign saying "The Principality of Dawn" on the door.
flag to express loyalty.
The interrogation of the more than 5 million criminals who were arrested also began. Only a handful of these people could be released, and the others were all imprisoned for farming on the planet Sonnel. These people were imprisoned together to avoid
They have contact with other prisoners.
These people became the first batch of political prisoners in the Principality of Dawn, and the prison area where they were located became, in a sense, the first concentration camp in the Principality of Dawn.
However, the liberal movement on the surface has been suppressed, but after all, people's hearts are separated from each other, and this trend of thought cannot be completely eradicated. In the future, the suppression work will continue.
At the same time, it is also necessary to adjust the existing policies of the Model Sector. Strengthen education, strengthen publicity, and eliminate the penetration of liberal ideas into the Model Sector as much as possible.
19BBY, April 24. The Governor of the Model Sector, Volgograd-Kanidi, officially sent a message to Grand Duke Tang Xiao of the Principality of Dawn - the rebellion in the Model Sector has been eliminated, and all rebels have been arrested. From now on
Starting from now, the Model Sector will be reborn with a new attitude. Long live the Principality of Dawn, and long live the Grand Duke of Dawn!
…
Tang Xiao casually threw the communicator aside and said: "Canidi did not let me down after all. In three days, he calmed down the flames of autonomy in the Model sector."
"It can only be said that the price is still very high. Statistics have come out today. In at least the next year, the Model Sector's contribution to us will be reduced by at least 40%. And society will not be as stable as before...
..." Francis Underwood shook his head and said.
In fact, although he does not support the autonomy of the Model Sector, he still thinks that Canidi's action went too far this time.
"The so-called stability of the Model Sector was based on the people's belief that one day they would be autonomous from the Principality of Dawn." Helmut Zemo, the chief minister of the cabinet, said sadly, "And this
This kind of stability is the greatest instability for the Dawn Principality."
"Don't worry about production capacity." The Minister of the Interior said, "Now the interstellar shipyard and various factories relocated from the Rendili system have begun to partially operate. In the next few years, we will continue to eat
Demographic dividends and industrial dividends from the Lundili system. This benefit is enough for us to ignore the decline in production capacity in the Model sector and the Yago-Dur system."
"The problems in the Model Star Sector must be solved. We will soon start exploring the unknown star field. At that time, I don't want the Model Star Sector to hold us back." Tang Xiao said, "New arrivals
The population must be sufficiently educated before they are allowed to enter the Model Sector to live."
"I already have a plan for this." Francis Underwood said, "A new city can be built on every planet in the Model Sector. All new immigrants must build a new city on this planet.
You will live in the city for half a year before being assigned to other planets in the star region. In these cities, we can focus on the spiritual civilization education of the residents."
"Yes. You can discuss a specific plan and submit it to me. The central finance of the Principality of Dawn will allocate funds to build these new cities." Tang Xiao nodded, "That's it for the Model Sector. Is there anything else?
Problem?"
"Your Majesty, are the autonomy trend in the Model Sector and the rebel army you once said would appear the same thing?" A young voice suddenly came.
Everyone turned around, only to find a young man in his early 30s raising his hand and saying.
"You are just an intern, and you major in mathematics, Hari Seldon. It is an honor to be able to sit in on such an occasion. But your speech should not become the content of our meeting." Francis Underwood looked at it.
Looking at the young man, he said coldly.
"It doesn't matter, this is also one of the important things." Tang Xiao waved his hand and said, "What I can tell you is that the two are the same thing, but they can also be said to be different."
The young man named Hari Seldon nodded, looking like he was all ears.
"You told me before that you wanted to visit the main areas of the Milky Way and explore the people's sentiments in those areas. It has been six months, what have you gained?" Tang Xiao seemed to have great patience with this young man, he asked in return.
"Liberalism is a ubiquitous thought. Its root is a trend of thought that emerged due to the weakening of central power in the Galactic Republic during more than a thousand years of peace. For those remote planets, it is necessary to gain or lose.
With the benefits of the central authority of the Galactic Republic, it is natural for them to choose to become independent and get rid of their obligations to the Galactic Republic." Hari Seldon spoke very methodically, not very fast, but every sentence passed through
Thoughtful.
Tang Xiao nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"During the past six months, I analyzed the samples of more than 7,000 people I visited. According to my judgment, liberalism will definitely have an impact on our Principality of Dawn in the future. It can even be said that this is second only to the Galactic Empire.
Threat, because it will reduce our ability to control the local area." Hari Seldon said, "It's just that I didn't expect it to explode so fast in the Model sector. And it is very different from the model I calculated.
difference."
"What's the difference?" Tang Xiao asked.
"In the Model Sector, those liberals lack a program of action, do not know their ultimate goal, and do not know what they should do. They only know that they want sector autonomy, but they have no idea what to do to achieve this.
A little bit. Moreover, their actions are very reckless. Compared with liberals in other parts of the galaxy, they are extremely high-profile, and they almost have this matter written on their faces." Hari Seldon said, "So I am
Doubts, are there differences between the two? Also, what kind of situation will our Kingdom of Dawn need to face in the future?"
