Upon hearing this, Bail Organa could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, "Let those liberated planets pay? Maybe they were once a member of the Separatists, but after the battle, they also began to
Enter the Galactic Republic! If they are burdened with heavy debts at this time, they will undoubtedly rebel again!"
"Then what you mean is to let the planets in the inner circle that have always been loyal to the Galactic Republic shoulder the increasingly heavy burden of war, while those outer-ring planets that once stood on our hostile side only need to sit on a comfortable sofa and watch
As the war progresses, and then wait for us to deliver victory to them?" Wilhuff Tarkin said sarcastically.
"They must pay the price for the war, but they absolutely should not adopt such an all-out approach! This will only plunge the newly stabilized occupied area into chaos again!" Bail Organa argued.
"But didn't Senator Amidala just say that? Our finances have exceeded the red line. In this case, the Galactic Republic certainly shouldn't be responsible for this huge sum of money, right?" Tarkin
Said calmly.
At this point, those councilors started to make noises one after another, especially those from the inner circle and core circle planets. This matter is related to their direct interests. Of course they don't want to pay, and of course they hope not to use it.
Give money and seize the victory of the war.
After all, the war has progressed to this point, and the possible benefits after the end of the war have been clearly stated - the complete plunder of the outer ring planets and at least half of the middle ring planets in the form of war reparations!
At this time, Sheev Palpatine stood up again. He raised his hands to signal the surrounding MPs to quiet down, and then said: "The battle on the planet Onderon has shown us one thing - there is no long-term systematic process.
It is difficult for ordinary soldiers who have been trained to fight against the separatist robot army. But now, we do not have so much time to train such a powerful army. We must end this war in a short time. Even if, Sri Lanka
Patty clone troopers are used for good reason."
He nodded in the direction of the Alcanian clone master and said: "The Sparti clone soldiers may not be as elite and stable as the Kamino clone soldiers, but they are sufficient in number, low in cost, and possess intelligence.
They can respond instantly to complex battlefield environments. In this regard, they can still maintain a certain advantage when facing robot troops."
Alcanian clone master also added: "Yes, the Sparti clone soldiers only have a shelf life of about one year. After one year, they will enter a rapid aging period and die naturally. So, even if they can
Surviving a cruel war will not create more burdens on the Republic. It is a very convenient war tool."
"Then, let's start discussing and voting on this proposal." Sheev Palpatine said with a smile.
…
This war has been going on for too long, but it seems that there is still no sign of ending.
In May of 20BBY, if we count the number of battlefields that broke out at the same time, the number of battles that broke out was the largest at this time when the war broke out more than two years ago.
In the southern direction of the Milky Way, the Galactic Republic's counterattack has made a lot of progress. In this battlefield direction, it is mainly the outer control area of the Technology Alliance and the Retail Industry Alliance. However, after the Galactic Republic launched a counterattack, the Technology Alliance's army almost collapsed at first touch, and soon
A large area of occupied territory was lost.
Around mid-May, the Galactic Republic re-liberated the planet Rynoth, freeing the Twi'leks from the rule of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
After getting rid of the brutal exploitation and plunder of the Technology Alliance, the Twi'leks immediately declared to join the Galactic Republic and declared war on the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
The main reason why the Twi'leks are able to do this is because their planet's Senator Orn Free Tower has a very high political reputation and is now also the loyal lackey of Speaker Sheev Palpatine. So under his
Thanks to their efforts, the planet Reinoth was able to get rid of the so-called war reparations and invest its meager income in the reconstruction of its homeland.
So, they are quite lucky.
The second week after the liberation of the planet Rynos, Chancellor Palpatine announced the reestablishment of the 14th Army of the Galactic Republic.
This legion, which was destroyed when the Technology Alliance captured the capital planet Rynos, once again stands in the Milky Way, guarding the southeast for the Galactic Republic.
But now, the 14th Army is still empty. First, it has no army and secondly, it has no fleet. It only has an administrative agency. But the reconstruction of the 14th Army is a very dangerous signal for the Confederation of Independent Systems.
The areas under the jurisdiction of the 14th Army include the planet Geonosis, the planet Christophsis, the planet Hyperion and other important strategic locations. Among them, the planet Geonosis and the planet Hyperion are independent
One of the largest robot factories of the Galaxy Confederation, the crystal planet Christophsis is also related to the output of Kyber crystals and a large source of financial revenue.
But now, these important planets are already under the frontline of the Galactic Republic and may be attacked at any time.
The only good news is that there is a Hutt space between the 14th Army and the main jurisdiction of the Galactic Republic, and the offensive and defensive battles on those key planets are no better than those on the planet Renoth, and large-scale fleets must be mobilized to besiege them.
Possibly. However, the obstruction of Hutt space makes it difficult for the Galactic Republic to mobilize its large-scale fleet.
But even so, these planets have begun active military preparations to prepare for the invasion of the Galactic Republic at any time.
In the other direction, the northeastern region of the Milky Way.
The Republic has launched a fierce battle with the Confederacy of Independent Systems on the planet Kashyyyk, and the Wookiees on the planet Kashyyyk have also broken out in uprisings to cooperate with the Republic's actions.
General Grievous's main fleet continues to huddle on the Salukami planet, and continues to maintain a "fleet presence" posture - as long as the fleet in his hands does not take the initiative to attack, then there will be no chance for a decisive battle in the galaxy.
The Republic will always be wary of the existence of his fleet, and thus will not be able to completely let go.
This posture is completely different from General Grievous' previous aggressive and fire-like offensive method.
However, as the Fourth Army of the Republic lost its main fleet and main army on the two battlefields of the planet Semels and the planet Onderon, the Galactic Republic mainly used the local defense fleets that it had previously collected in this direction.
I really don't dare to fight against Grievous's main fleet.
