As the war has been going on for two years and is entering its third year, the Confederacy of Independent Systems has begun to show its defeat, retreating steadily on almost every front.
Except for some developed planets that are still resisting, the Confederation of Independent Systems has almost lost the entire Central Rim Sector.
It was originally contained and destroyed a large number of Republic fleets in the battle between Rendily System and Semirex System. However, Speaker Sheev Palpatine directly deprived all planets of their local defense fleets, leaving the Republic with one more fleet.
Although the quality is not very good, the fleet is terrifying in quantity.
Under the attack of this fleet, the planets Minban and Rusan fell one after another, and the war began to approach the defense line set up by General Grievous on the Salukami planet.
At the same time, brutal battles are also starting on the ground battlefields of countless planets.
The huge robot legions dropped by the Confederacy of Independent Systems on these planets are constantly blocking the advance of the Republic's army. But at this time, due to the emergence of genetic weapons, the Republic has to recall all its clone armies. So on the battlefields of these planets
In the war, the Republic could only rely on the precise bombing of a large number of small and medium-sized warships to fight.
Although these small and medium-sized spacecraft did not cause damage to the planet's environment, they still brought a devastating blow to the planet's surface facilities. The industrial foundation and people's livelihood foundation of these planets captured by the Republic were severely damaged.
The result of this is that many planets are further alienated from the Galactic Republic. Even if they are forced to welcome the arrival of the Republic fleet and claim to be liberated from the tyranny of the Separatists, in fact, these planets have no influence on the Galaxy.
The Republic hates it no less than the Confederation of Independent Systems.
Yes, the role played by the Confederation of Independent Systems in this war has never been positive. Even with the reorganization of the Confederation of Independent Systems, the wealth-raising and exploitative behaviors of those corporate giants are less unscrupulous, but in order to continue the war, the independent
The Galaxy Confederation is still exploiting these planets and plundering almost all their wealth and production value.
And now the Galactic Republic's brutal offensive has also sown the seeds of chaos across the galaxy.
At the same time, the performance of the natural army of the Galactic Republic on the battlefield can be said to be very arrogant, and this arrogance comes at the cost of blood!
In this new round of counterattacks by the Republic, in just one month, the number of natural soldiers killed has exceeded 60 million! The number of injured soldiers has exceeded 100 million! The pensions brought by these killed and injured soldiers
This is an astronomical figure, which makes the finances of the Galactic Republic even worse.
The Interstellar Banking Association (S), which was reorganized with the planet Scipio as the core and Rush Clovis as the CEO, is also facing a financial void at this moment. There is no way, Rush Clovis can only urgently issue 50
Currencies with trillions of credit points, and because there are not so many rare alloys, these currencies are all banknotes encrypted by encryption methods.
This paper currency is called 'Republic Coin' and is guaranteed by the credit of the Galactic Republic.
Yes, this is a credit currency! Different from the gold standard, grain standard and other currencies that appeared before the advent of the interstellar era, this credit currency is equivalent to no guarantee. The value of the currency is entirely determined by the conscience and credit of the Galactic Republic.
.
But it has reached its final stage, and when we look up at the Galactic Republic, where every road is filled with despair, where does the conscience come from? Where does the credit come from?
And those families who lost their loved ones, because in the end all they got were banknotes that they couldn't tell whether they had any value, and many places simply refused to accept these banknotes. These desperate people had no choice but to take to the streets one after another.
They came to the administrative center of their planet and city to hold demonstrations and even armed riots.
For a time, various uprisings and rebellions occurred one after another within the scope of the Galactic Republic.
The same thing happened with the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Count Dooku had already broken up with Darth Sidious by this time, and he had already managed the Confederation of Independent Systems as his important power and political capital.
It was different from when he was attached to Darth Sidious, because at that time he believed that he had a way out, and it didn't matter what happened to the Confederacy, as long as he could help Sidious complete his plan, that would be fine. But now
, he must ensure victory in this war.
In order to decouple the economy of the Confederation of Independent Systems from those corporate giants and gain more independence, Count Dooku has done a lot of work, including finding ways to open the Confederacy's own national bank and nationalizing many industrial planets.
But it's not easy. Even if the commercial guilds have been divided and merged, none of the remaining corporate giants are fuel-efficient. They are not willing to be controlled by Count Dooku. Even if they have not really broken up yet, both parties
Confrontations at the economic and political levels have gradually taken shape.
What's more serious is that the Technology Alliance has begun to think about returning to the Galactic Republic.
As part of the plan to bring these corporate giants to heel, General Grievous sent the main fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, mainly old warships including the Congee-class communications frigates and the Defiant-class light destroyers, to the Battle of Dron.
Most of it has been lost, and now the new generation navy of the Confederation of Independent Systems is in the process of being formed.
But brand new warships are more powerful and advanced, but naturally more expensive. Where do these costs come from? Naturally, they are passed on to the federation's participating planets.
Faced with the almost completely unreasonable exploitation and plunder of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, riots and uprisings also broke out within the Confederacy, and they could not be suppressed no matter how hard they suppressed them.
Relatively speaking, the situation within the jurisdiction of the Fourth Civilization is much better. But this is mainly because the Fourth Civilization is located in a remote location, has a weak industrial base, and has a sparse population... However, with the success of Lundili Interstellar Power Company
After the rebellion, the Fourth Civilization suddenly had a population of 600 billion and a large number of industrial facilities within its jurisdiction.
In order to make these populations and industrial facilities work, Daphne Clement, the interior minister of the fourth civilization, suddenly found that her side had become a bottomless pit at some point.
This bottomless pit swallows up countless resources, money, population, and job opportunities. The greatly increased resource demand makes the fourth civilization's resource system overwhelmed. And if those extra factories and people are left idle, it will also cost money.
The more resources to feed them, the less likely it is to do so.
The main reason why the economy of the Fourth Civilization has not collapsed now is because the Fourth Civilization possesses a large amount of high-tech equipment that far exceeds that of the Galactic Republic Navy, allowing them to defend their territory without maintaining a huge fleet.
For example, the existence of the Titan battleship Xuanwu prevents the Galactic Republic from taking the initiative to attack the Eriadu system, a transportation hub, even if it has assembled three times its fleet.
During this 20 BBY period, the consequences of the war began to appear, and the out-of-control war had overwhelmed both sides.
In order to pass on some of their internal conflicts through war before they collapsed, the Galactic Republic, the Confederation of Independent Systems and the Fourth Civilization all chose...
