We have written a very extraordinary history, but the days of peace and tranquility are rarely recorded. ——Professor Chi Jianjun, "The Founder of the Fourth Reich", Biography of Chi Jianjun, last page.
————————————————————————
20BBY, July 6th, two-thirds of the year has passed (the Star Wars world has 10 months in a year and 35 days in a month, again), but the galaxy is still raging with war.
The Galactic Republic has gradually begun to step out from the shadow of the annihilation of the Jedi Knights. In fact, it is impossible not to step out. Now the Jedi Knights have become a taboo word in the Republic, and it is not even allowed to talk about it.
Coupled with the constant propaganda from the Republic's powerful propaganda agencies, the Jedi Order has been exaggerated into an evil force that deliberately provokes wars, launches massacres everywhere, and controls the core of the Republic's power, even trying to assassinate Speaker Palpatine for the sake of its own power.
organize.
In fact, the people of the galaxy rarely see Jedi Knights, and they can only hear the legends of Jedi Knights. Moreover, the actions of Jedi Knights are actually very low-key most of the time. For example, when they arrest spice traders, many of them
Always disarm the opponent and let them surrender themselves. Driven by the Force, the spiritual defenses of these disarmed spice traders can easily be broken by the Force, so they subconsciously follow what the Jedi say.
As a result, even fewer people have actually seen a Jedi Knight.
After the war broke out, Sheev Palpatine had already had a complete set of plans. In his propaganda, the Jedi Knights were always linked to the war, such as which place was captured under the leadership of which Jedi Master.
News about how many separatist rebels were killed on a certain planet.
With more news like this, people’s impressions of the Jedi have naturally changed.
Because in this interstellar age, most of the information that people actually know is from this planet. All inter-galactic news requires the use of hyperspace communication technology, so it is basically controlled by some large communication companies.
As for the expensive Galaxy Hologram Network, only a few people can afford it.
In addition, Sheev Palpatine naturally took the media and propaganda agencies into his own hands very early on, and the power of public opinion is sometimes more powerful than a thousand Star Destroyers!
So after the Jedi Order was annihilated and the wanted order was implemented, an atmosphere of hatred towards the Jedi Order quickly developed within the Galactic Republic.
After this, Palpatine began to push for Congress to pass a law requiring that all domestic Force-sensitive persons above the standard be nationalized for recruitment, and then centralized training, and based on their different situations,
Assigned to different Force-sensitive agencies.
However, the implementation of this proposal was not smooth. A group of congressmen led by Bail Organa strongly opposed it. They always believed that the Jedi Order was innocent, and that the Galactic Republic should not overthrow the Jedi Order who had implemented tens of thousands of
year pattern.
But their opposition turned against them. In other areas of the Galactic Republic, especially in the military, the influence of the Jedi Order was quickly eliminated. After a few months, the Republic's military once again regained its combat capabilities.
It's just that there are basically no Force-sensitive people in the current Republic army. When facing Count Dooku and Tang Xiao's dark side powerhouses on the battlefield, they will still suffer a lot.
In this regard, Palpatine is secretly pursuing his own plan with the help of his advisor Black Hole, and this plan directly ignores the existence of the Council. More than one dark and mysterious dark side Force organization is preparing.
So at this time, the Galactic Republic's counterattack began again.
In the northern region, the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army have almost cleared away the separatist forces in their jurisdictions. After all, there are no strong separatist planets in this direction.
However, within the scope of the Seventh and Eighth Armies, the Geth's attacks have made the Galactic Republic very uncomfortable. The recent Geth's attack on the planet Feida has been extremely violent. This has made the victory of the Ninth and Tenth Armies very difficult.
The joy was dampened a lot, and the entire northern territory was still shrouded in dark clouds.
In the northeastern direction of the plane star map, the Galactic Republic once again launched an attack on the planet Salukami guarded by General Grievous. However, due to the rebellion of the Second Galaxy Army, the strength of the Republic in this direction was weakened a lot.
It is still impossible to eat General Grievous.
And the situation on the Second System Army's side has become increasingly complicated since Severance Tann launched a sudden attack and defeated Master Windu and the Second System Army. One of the most direct results is neutrality.
The disintegration of the Galaxy Alliance.
On the planet Mandalore, the leader of the Death Watch, Chao Chao Vizsla, has repeatedly expressed his loyalty to the Galactic Republic and hopes that the Republic will send troops to reinforce this direction. However, after the Neutral Galaxy Alliance fell apart, the attitudes of many galaxies in this direction began to change.
It's not clear, so the Republic doesn't intend to step into this muddy water for the time being.
For Chao Chao Vizsla, the Republic just gave some verbal promises and that was it.
Therefore, in this direction, the Galactic Republic's plan is to concentrate its forces to repeatedly attack the planet Salukami, striving to open the last portal of the Confederation of Independent Systems and march into their core area.
Now that the second ship of the Conqueror-class battleship, the Destruction, and the second ship of the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship, the Shadow, have appeared, the Galactic Republic is very worried that if left unchecked, more super battleships will appear.
After all, the Confederation of Independent Systems, which controls the planet Dark and Port Parmant, has very strong industrial production capacity.
The eastern border of the flat star map is mainly the Hutt space. In this direction, the Galactic Republic will not rashly provoke the Hutts who are in chaos, and naturally there will be no military operations.
In the southeastern region of the plane star map, the Republic's counterattack was also quite smooth. The Supreme Strategic Command planned to strive to re-liberate the planet Rynos and rebuild the 14th Army within two months. But the planet Christofsis
It is a smelly and hard stone. The Republic's plan is to rebuild the 14th Army and then slowly take care of it.
Then there is the key point, the southwest direction—the Principality of Dawn!
In fact, as far as the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic is concerned, their determination to attack the Principality of Dawn is insufficient. Because several previous attacks on the Principality of Dawn failed in vain. Not only that, the Principality of Dawn also took advantage of them to deal with the affairs of the Jedi Order.
At that time, they made a sudden attack and crippled the 17th Army in the Battle of Ennako System.
This battle made the Supreme Strategic Command even more hesitant, because so far, they have not found any way to confront the Titan battleship Xuanwu! And what makes them even more hesitant is that Ling Liang, who is commanding the Xuanwu,
The general obviously knows how to advance and retreat. After the battle of the Ennaco system, she did not rush in to attack the planet Naboo, but simply retreated back, assuming a posture of "I won't leave until you come over."
It looks very much like a snapping turtle with a mouthful of fangs that shrinks itself into its shell...
But attacking the Principality of Dawn is the determination of Speaker Sheev Palpatine!
