In Palpatine's Galactic Empire, class divisions became more serious. Even the wealthy families in the inner circle and the core circle began to see huge cracks.
For example, the Tagg family of Casio Tagg could even have a huge fleet of 5,000 small and medium-sized warships as a private army. However, many other former noble families were dismissed simply because they were considered unreliable by Palpatine.
Stripped of everything.
This deprivation is not a one-time thing, but is done bit by bit.
In the end, they could only hand over their wealth and resources to Palpatine bit by bit as protection fees, becoming the pocket of the Sith Lord and Emperor of the Empire.
Only under such naked plunder and exploitation could the Galactic Empire have the ability to expand its fleet on a large scale.
Because during the Galactic Republic, if you wanted to build a warship, it needed to be reviewed and approved by the Ship Supervision Committee, and then submitted to the Galactic Parliament. After the parliament met and approved, the procurement was carried out, the cost was reported to the financial review, and then funds were allocated for construction.
In this process, there was so much exploitation and deceit, it is impossible to count. The result is that the finances of the Galactic Republic are becoming more and more overwhelmed, and the military expenditure is increasing. As a result, at last glance, the number of warships that can be built is just this.
many.
And what about the Galactic Empire? Palpatine issued a direct order, and all one hundred warships were put on the production line. Raw materials? They were plundered, and the cost was very small; workers? They were all slaves, and they only had to take care of food and not starve to death; industrial giants?
They are all Palpatine's own people.
That's why the Galactic Empire can expand its army so unscrupulously. After expanding its army, it further oppresses those exploited planets and collects wealth in a predatory manner.
Under such circumstances, all the officials, generals, nobles, and companies who were valued by Palpatine all had privileges. The result of the privileges was that they became more unscrupulous in expropriating and extorting money, bringing terror to every planet controlled by the Galactic Empire.
Go up to the planet.
Therefore, the entire Galactic Empire is all about top-down actions, and corruption is far more serious than during the Galactic Republic. However, if during the Galactic Republic, the entire inner circle, core circle, high-level officials, and parliaments were all corrupt, then the Galactic Empire only has such a small
Some privileged classes are corrupt.
In fact, the result can only be darker!
So in the final analysis, the Galactic Empire is indeed expanding its military power at a speed that was unimaginable during the Galactic Republic, but this process has been caused by countless planets paying a heavy price.
And the Galactic Empire can only continue to expand its army, because once the expansion stops, they themselves will die first.
This is a vicious cycle of militarism, and there is no future or hope at all!
The Galactic Empire is just like that mustache. He has opened the devil's box and cannot stop at all. Even if he wants to stop, the privileged class will push him to move forward and move towards the abyss.
From Palpatine's perspective, he doesn't care about this at all. He doesn't care about the life and death of the people in the entire galaxy. He only cares about when he can become a Sith and rule the galaxy.
Does the Galactic Empire have no future? It doesn't matter, as long as it expands its army crazily and wipes out all its enemies. As for what will happen to the Galactic Empire in the future? Will it die of poverty or starvation? He doesn't care.
In fact, Palpatine himself was the largest embezzler in the Galactic Empire.
Not only did he obtain a huge wealth through corruption and bribery, but he also directly used the official power of the Galactic Empire to facilitate his own research on the dark side.
Countless human experiments, countless modifications, mutations, and dark side erosion.
Darth Sidious's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and has even expanded to unprecedented levels! If we talk about the previous head-to-head confrontation on the planet Korriban, he was only slightly better than Darth Malthael, and in the end he was still
If he was influenced by Malthael's death force, now his strength has once again widened the gap between him and Darth Malthael.
The difference between the two of them is that Darth Sidious does not hesitate to kill the goose to get the eggs, and only wants to become a Sith. Darth Malthael is a solid foundation, down-to-earth, and he pays attention to
It's that process.
Of course, if Darth Malthael had not foresighted the wave of liberalism that was about to sweep across the galaxy and the power of the Rebel Alliance, he would not have been able to respond to the pressure from Darth Sidious and the Galactic Empire.
To be so calm.
As Count Dooku said, Tang Xiao himself does not think that he is better than Palpatine. The latter is the most powerful villain, conspirator, and politician in the entire plot of "Star Wars". Before time travel, he was just an ordinary person.
As a human being, even if he has this death force of unknown origin, he cannot imagine that he can compare with such a being.
However, it would be better to return home. Tang Xiao was able to grasp the future direction of the universe. This may seem like a trivial point, but it is actually very important, even more important than the database in the mothership!
Because, this is the crowbar that Tang Xiao can use to move the mountain of Palpatine!
With such foresight, Tang Xiao was able to plan for himself to become Darth Plagueis's apprentice and inherit his legacy from the very beginning, and then he could continue to plan for Darth Tenebrous to compete with this veteran Sith.
Lord, further learning and growth.
And without the careful teachings of these two Sith Lords, Tang Xiao would never have grown into the Angel of Death who could compete with Palpatine. Without such growth, as an ordinary college student, he would have grown up.
Even if you give him a huge force and a powerful fleet, he will be brought into the ditch in minutes.
In this process, there is no mothership plug-in, only Tang Xiao's own efforts and struggles, as well as his foresight.
Just as now, Tang Xiao knew that what could defeat the Galactic Empire was not an invincible fleet or advanced technology, but the people who rose up in anger under the perverse actions of Palpatine and the Galactic Empire!
So after he made a separate peace with Palpatine, he was not in a hurry to expand his military strength, nor was he in a hurry to build those powerful battleships in the mothership database. The first thing he did was to digest the planet Rendili and expand himself
Strength, while stabilizing the rear, and striving to prevent the Dawn Principality from falling apart in the coming storm of uprising.
There are countless powerful battleships in the mothership database, but manufacturing these things requires costs, factories, and different technologies that need to be overcome. If we just pull out all those powerful battleships and form a fleet of all nations,
, there is no need to fight, your own logistics collapsed first. In the end, you are the one who loses.
Therefore, instead of blindly pursuing the power of a single battleship, it is better to first establish your own system. Whether it is an economic system, an industrial system, a social system, a military system, or a fleet system, only in this way can we stand firm in the increasingly chaotic galaxy.
Does not fall.
The Galactic Empire is singing loudly for the victory of the Salukami planet; it is shouting for fierce battle as they begin to exert their huge industrial advantages and build a fleet that is ten or even a hundred times better than the Principality of Dawn.
; While they were excited that their emperor Darth Sidious' own power could once again overwhelm Darth Malthael; little did he know that Darth Malthael was consolidating his internal affairs while
He watched with cold eyes, quietly counting the remaining days of the Galactic Empire.
That's right, 170,000 uprisings broke out in 7 months. Palpatine felt that the victory of the Salukami planet and the secret construction of the DS-1 battle fortress in a place that Tang Xiao didn't even know could shock everyone with terror.
People, will they be able to take control of the situation next?
But Tang Xiao will tell him that you are wrong. What you encounter now is just the beginning!
