Chapter 2143 The wavering of the technical alliance
2144, The technical alliance is shaken
The Prime Minister of Planet Rosa, Torreso Borre, and four other top leaders who were wanted by the Galactic Empire committed suicide and died for their country directly during the live broadcast. This also completely ignited the flames of resistance on Planet Rosa.
In response to Order 37, in response to the despicable act of the Galactic Empire using civilians as hostages and forcing them to surrender, Torreso Borre's choice was to die for his country!
Because even though the resistance on the planet is still fierce now, when this war has just begun, everyone's enthusiasm is still very high. But as the war continues, after a few months, even half a year, or a year later, this enthusiasm is still high.
How much can be left?
So at that time, when the Galactic Empire repeatedly used civilians as hostages to intimidate, there must be many people who swayed under the coercion. Not only that, if things go on like this, many people may also blame the war on Torreso Borre and a few people.
On people.
Therefore, Torreso Borre directly eliminated the problem from the source. He vowed to fight the Galactic Empire to the end! Therefore, he chose to commit suicide and die for his country, making Order 37 impossible to start.
Now that all the wanted criminals are dead, what is your Galactic Empire doing by taking those civilian hostages? Who should you ask to surrender?
Now all resistance movements on Planet Rosa are directed by the Rosa Resistance Committee, but who are the members of the committee? Anyone can be, but anyone can not be.
Darth Vader did this at first. He asked the planet Rosa to hand over the people of the Rosa Resistance Committee, but soon more than a dozen people who claimed to be members of the committee came to surrender. However, after they were all shot,
The resistance movement on Planet Rosa is still organized and fierce, even with unforgettable hatred!
After going back and forth several times, Darth Vader also lost patience. He issued an order. Order 37 was no longer directed at one person, but against everyone who took up arms against the Imperial Army! No matter who it was, no matter how many there were.
!As long as there are people on this planet who resist the Galactic Empire, then Order 37...
Never stop!
An endless stream of imperial troops filed out of the transport ships and attacked every city on the planet Rosa!
"Since you have chosen death, death will come." Darth Vader's terrifying black armor appeared on every screen on the planet.
The imperial fleet has invaded the planet's communication network through electronic interference. Even if you want to switch channels, you can't. As long as you turn on the holographic video, Darth Vader's terrifying voice will be played repeatedly, a terrifying threat!
However, doing so will only make everyone on Planet Rosa realize the true nature of the Galactic Empire!
They don't really care about Torreso Borre, or even any life on this planet! All they really care about is the wealth and resources on the planet!
This is a robbery! A robbery against the Trade Federation!
Unless you can accept the outcome of being robbed of all your property and being sold to a black mine for mining, you will have no choice but to fight to the end!
…
The core circle of the Milky Way, the planet Skako.
This is the home planet of the Skak people, and it is also the headquarters of the Technology Alliance - yes, the Technology Alliance is also a super corporate giant located in the core circle.
The Technology Alliance is a super giant that controls many scientific research companies, precision processing companies, and heavy manufacturing industries. Industrial giants such as Quat Power Shipyard are peripheral members of the Trade Alliance, but they are one of the core members of the Technology Alliance. Until
After the terrorist attack in Eliado, Quat Dynamic Shipyard withdrew from the Trade Alliance and the Technology Alliance respectively.
Not only that, at the peak of the Technology Alliance, in addition to Quat Power Dockyard, it even included Corellian Engineering Company and Blaster Technology Industries (almost all blasters were produced by this company). These industrial giants
They are also members of the Technology Alliance.
In other words, two of the three largest super industrial giants in the galaxy at that time were members of the Technology Alliance, which shows their extremely huge power. Only Rendili Interstellar Power Company was a consortium of countless shipyard owners, so
Naturally, I will not join another alliance.
At its peak, the Technology Alliance also followed the Trade Alliance, gained seats in the Galactic Republic, and began to invest in politics. However, the Technology Alliance had a looser organizational structure compared to the Trade Alliance. So although a large number of super industrial giants joined, those who
Industrial giants will not obey the instructions of the technology alliance. The two parties are more of a cooperative relationship.
Therefore, the Technology Alliance cannot obtain a political status from the Galactic Republic that is comparable to that of the Trade Federation. Even the members of the Technology Alliance in the parliament are concurrently served by members of the planet Skako. Unlike the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Industry
Like an association, it has its own independent members.
With the separatist movement launched by Count Dooku and the political instability of the Galactic Republic, super industrial giants such as Corellian Engineering Company, Quart Power Dockyard, and Explosive Technology Industries have withdrawn from the Technology Alliance, which has also caused the Technology Alliance to begin to decline.
Continuously weakening.
Therefore, under the leadership of Grand Foreman Walter Tambor, the Techno Union decided to take a big gamble and joined the Separatism and became a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Walter Tambor also plans to imitate the Trade Federation and bet on both sides between the Confederation of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic, making money on both sides, but how can they compare with the Trade Federation? In one word of the Trade Federation, the Galactic Republic is connected to the Outer Rim Star Region.
Taxation can't do it, so what can the technology alliance say?
Therefore, when the Clone Wars broke out, although the Galactic Republic did not directly attack the planet Skakko, this was mainly because the defense of the planet Skakko was very strong. When the Grand Republic Army was just established, the gain outweighed the losses by a forced attack. However, the Galactic Republic still
It froze all the assets of the Technology Alliance in the areas it controlled, closed their factories, and ordered the companies that joined the Technology Alliance to withdraw from the alliance.
Therefore, in the early days of the war, the Technology Alliance hated the Galactic Republic and played a huge role in the war. And they were also the second force to eliminate the entire legion of the Galactic Republic after the Dawn Planet - they captured the planet Rylos and destroyed
14th Army of the Republic.
However, as the war progressed, the Dawn Planet began to provide more and more technical and industrial support to the Confederation of Independent Systems. Therefore, in addition to its insufficient size, the other services provided by the Dawn Planet to the Confederation of Independent Systems were actually related to the Technology Alliance.
Overlapping.
Moreover, on the Dawn Planet, whether it is battleships or fighter jets, their performance far exceeds what the Technology Alliance can provide itself. In addition, since the withdrawal of Kuat Dynamic Shipyard and Corellian Engineering Company, the Technology Alliance has designed and manufactured large-scale main force by itself.
The ship's capabilities are greatly reduced.
Therefore, in the Confederate Army of Independent Systems, the advantage of the Technology Alliance is getting smaller and smaller, and many orders are given to the Dawn Planet.
This was especially true after the naval reform of the Confederation of Independent Systems. Almost half of the warship models of the new generation of Confederation of Independent Systems Navy were provided by Dawn Planet.
The Technology Alliance has not failed to make efforts. They have launched their own capital ship design - the Bulwark-class battleship. However, this battleship was launched too late, although Count Dooku wanted to counterbalance the Dawn Planet.
ideas, and a large number of orders were given, but the number of fortresses that were ultimately completed was not many.
Feeling that their status was threatened, the Technology Alliance's determination to confront the Galactic Republic began to waver. Foreman Walter Tambor began to secretly contact the Galactic Republic and began to explore the possibility of returning to the Republic.
However, the Galactic Republic at that time was no longer what it was in the early days of the war. Naturally, there were conditions for them to accept the Technology Alliance. They asked the Technology Alliance to leak to them the military secrets of the Federation of Independent Systems, especially some of the battleship technologies of the Dawn Planet.
Walter Tambor was indecisive, worried that if he really did this, the Confederation of Independent Systems would soon fail, and the Technology Alliance would lose its value.
Therefore, under such worries about gains and losses, the Technology Alliance kept swinging back and forth. It was not until the Confederation of Independent Systems failed in the Battle of Salukami that they made up their mind to surrender to the Galactic Republic.
Naturally, such a result will not be good. Can your surrender in 1946 be the same as your surrender in 1949?
Therefore, in the Galactic Empire, the Technology Alliance handed over a lot of money, factories and technology in order to survive, and has become a second-rate enterprise, and its former glory has long since disappeared.
The capital of the planet Skakko is a very luxurious fortress. It used to be so splendid, full of guests, and major industrial giants with countless resources gathered together. They could agree on the construction plan of hundreds of capital ships with just a nod. Drink
A glass of wine can start a latest scientific research project worth hundreds of billions of credits...
But now, although this place is still so luxurious, except for a few cleaning robots, there is no one else in the spacious living room.
Today, we received an unexpected visitor.
Sitting on top of a four-legged robot for transportation was a fat Neimoidian, with an angry face on his face as he walked toward the center.
"Ah... Lord Lott-Dude, a high-ranking representative of the Trade Federation. What's the point of a person like you coming to our small, low-level company?" Sitting on a tall chair was a user.
A Skako man wearing a protective suit to protect his whole body - Foreman Walter Tambor.
The living environment of the Skakos is harmful to most other races. Therefore, if they want to go to other planets, the Skakos will wear protective clothing, and if there are people from other races in the living room here,
When guests come, the place will also enter a closed state, and then the internal environment will be adjusted to the most appropriate level.
Of course, this would make it impossible for the Skako people to survive, so even in his own home, Walter Tambor still wore protective clothing. Only in this way could he meet visitors normally.
He twisted the knob on his protective suit, adjusted his tone of voice, and said very seriously, "The technical alliance is over. Because of our previous friendship, I will not capture you in exchange for a bounty. Now,
You'd better go."
Lot-Dood said angrily: "It's you who caused the Technology Alliance to become what it is now! You know that surrendering to the Galactic Empire can't have any good results, but you still insist on having your own way! Now you see it too! The Milky Way!
The Empire is just a group of bandits. They are unable to support the arms race with the Dawn Principality, so they can only attack the Trade Federation! This is robbery! Naked robbery!"
"Your trade alliance has been robbed, what does it have to do with me?" Walter Tambor said coldly.
"Do you think Palpatine won't rob you? No! He will only do it more decisively! After the Trade Federation, you will be next! The Skakos!" Lot-Dood pointed at Walter-
Tambor's nose said, "The Galactic Empire can only accommodate humans. Apart from humans, there will be no room for any other race to survive! Not to mention that you have ever been on the side of separatism!"
"We have nothing to lose," Walter Tambor replied dejectedly.
"Then get back what you lost!" Lott-Dude, as a parliamentary representative, is very eloquent. "Even if you still fail in the end, you have nothing to lose, right?
?”
Walter Tambor fell silent and did not speak.
Lot-Dude raised his voice and said loudly: "The Trade Alliance cannot sustain itself for too long! We must need more assistance! Otherwise, we can only support it for half a year at most! After half a year, you will wish yourselves good luck!"
"...Where is the Principality of Dawn? What's Tang Xiao's attitude?" Walter Tambor's voice became much softer.
"The Principality of Dawn cannot directly send fleet reinforcements, but they will provide us with all other help." Lott-Dude said.
"Humph! In addition to all the help from the fleet? What else is there? Waving the flag and shouting?" Walter Tambor snorted coldly.
Lott-Dude's expression darkened, "Of course I won't tell you the details. But I will tell you that it is enough support for us to win in the end."
There was another moment of silence...
After a long time, Walter Tambor said again: "The Technology Alliance has reached its current stage. What we need to worry about is not just the Technology Alliance. Behind us, there is the 230 billion Skako planet."
Kako [Note 1]. Compared to others, I understand better the consequences of resisting the Galactic Empire. I will not gamble with you with the lives of 230 billion people."
Lott-Dude said: "I'm not asking you to publicly take sides. I'm just here to ask for something from you."
"What?" Walter Tambor asked.
"Scorpion Annihilator robots, and super tanks."
-
[Note 1: In the setting, the population of the planet Skako is between 100B and 500B, that is, 100 billion to 500 billion. This fluctuation is too big. Moreover, the environment of the planet Skako does not support the floating population of other races.
So I’ll just take a middle value.]
