Chapter 2059 The Desperate and Powerful Empire (Part 2)
2060, Desperate and Powerful Empire (Part 2)
In the Galactic Empire, if the dignitaries in the core circle are like this, it is self-evident what will happen to the planets in other places.
There are also some second-rate, but still very powerful and rich nobles in the inner star region of the Milky Way. However, these nobles have become the best prey for those top wealthy families. Merger, acquisition, destruction, engulfment, all kinds of
There are endless such means.
When the top wealthy families in the inner circle spend a lot of wealth to satisfy Palpatine's greed, they will naturally choose to pass on their conflicts, so the inner circle becomes the best choice.
Under such crazy actions, the nobles in the inner circle had to choose to succumb. They relied on the top wealthy families in the inner circle, and used their own resources and heritage to find ways to play both sides of several different wealthy families to squeeze out a little bit for themselves.
living space.
They will complain loudly in the parliament, trying to find a solution to their plight, but no one will pay attention to them. Every greedy eye in the parliament has regarded them as the most delicious prey.
What's even more desperate is that the nobles in the inner circle are not even qualified to have a relationship with Emperor Palpatine! They can only find the regional governors and faction leaders to help, and then choose a more respectable one.
His posture was eaten bit by bit by the latter.
The only difference is how long they can struggle before being eaten, and whether they can leave a scrap of food for themselves. And what they need to think about next is how to please each other in front of their new master.
Make your life a little easier.
Similarly, what about the Central Star Region? Those can no longer be said to be wealthy families, they are just relatively developed planets. Those planets in the Central Star Region have no status at all. Their only value is their little production capacity and consumption.
Ability. Therefore, during this inhumane plunder and annexation, the planets in the Central Sector became commodity dumping grounds and parts processing factories.
The wealthy aristocrats of the core circle and the inner circle, as well as their giant companies, are trying every means to stimulate consumption on these planets. They use various methods to corrupt the ruling classes of these planets, allowing them to promote the planet's population explosion and guide people's distorted consumption concepts.
Let these planets gradually lose their ability to take care of themselves, and then be included as an insignificant link in the empire's economic circle.
Each of these 'transformed' Central Planets has a population of tens to tens of billions, but they have no ability to support these populations. At the same time, the distorted concept of consumption has caused people on the planet to compete with each other and become vain.
Giant companies have imported all kinds of addictive cheap goods, destroying the original economic systems of these planets, leaving these planets to rely on large amounts of imports to maintain their survival.
And where do the funds for imports come from? They will be arranged by giant companies to produce some single products with no technical content. For example, they specialize in the production of the XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon used by the Empire-class Star Destroyer... Oh, you
Think it's the laser cannon itself? No, it's the shell or barrel of the heavy turbolaser cannon...
These complex equipment are split into parts with no technical content, and then such factories are copied in large quantities on the Central Planet to reduce costs. And what can a planet that can only produce turret shells do industrially? Everything
No! They can only use all the income from producing turret shells to purchase various commodities provided by giant companies, so that they can support the huge population base on their planet.
Such a planet and such people will not have any future or hope.
As for the Outer Rim Star Region?
Sorry, the Galactic Empire does not recognize the people in these places as Imperial citizens at all. The Empire will only carry out inhumane plunder of these places. Only when the Empire makes demands on these planets, they are Imperial territories and Imperial citizens. And if
It's a pirate invasion or a famine that requires support, haha... you are not qualified.
The Galactic Empire has a special department to analyze how to maximize the use of planets in the central star sector and planets in the outer star sector.
For example, after analysis of the planet Rafa, it was concluded that this planet did not have the basis for the development of mining or industry, but the land was fertile, so the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture came directly to force people to plant high-energy crops. In order to reduce costs, they even added fertilizers
They are not willing to give any money, they just want to plant predatory crops, exhaust all the fertility of the planet, and then leave.
As for how many people will starve to death on the planet? They don't care. Anyway, if people starve to death and fall on the ground, wouldn't it be fertilizer? In a few hundred years, maybe this planet will be rejuvenated? Nature is great, right?
In short, the empire has never cared about what happens to these outer-ring planets. Anyway, there are countless outer-ring planets. They plunder them one by one. I don’t know how long they will plunder. There will always be endless leeks.
This was the extreme policy adopted by the Galactic Empire under Palpatine's rule.
Why would he do this? There's only one reason - quickly.
Because this is the fastest way to increase his own power, not only his own power, but also the power of the empire.
Only by plundering like this can the empire accumulate enough wealth and resources to expand its military and prepare for war in the shortest possible time.
Only this kind of centralization of power can enable the regime, which was originally forcibly reorganized to establish an empire in the midst of turmoil, to consolidate its power as quickly as possible.
Similarly, countless wailing creatures and countless cruel killings have become the best food for his dark side power. While the imperial army committed various crimes, his power increased day by day. Not only him, but also Darth Vader
, Black Hole, Kadang and other powerful dark side users are also becoming stronger and stronger in such a dark and terrifying world.
Especially Palpatine, his mind is increasingly distorted by the power of the dark side. He doesn't care at all what will happen to the Galactic Empire, he only cares about what he gets!
As long as he possesses invincible power, no matter what enemy he is, he will crush him alone! In this case, does he still need to care about the opinions of those ants?
One Sith, isn't that what it is?
As long as I am strong alone, what happens to the galaxy has nothing to do with me.
And of course, at least at this stage, in order to maintain his reign of terror, Palpatine must also maintain a powerful and terrifying army.
The main purpose of establishing such an army is to exterminate those endless rebellions and suppress those disobedient planets, so that they can plunder more wealth and resources! (End of this chapter)
