Chapter 2229 The Battle of Cato-Neimoidia (Part 2)
2230, Battle of Cato-Neimoidia (middle)
With the increasing number of wars throughout the galaxy and the gradually shrouding clouds of war, 12BBY has come to an end.
After entering 11BBY, the situation of the Trade Federation has gone from bad to worse. They are no longer able to carry out this war. All the remaining resistance is just a trapped beast still fighting, which is the final madness.
After the Galactic Empire experienced the initial chaos, it quickly relied on powerful military and industrial power to stabilize the situation.
The first was the outer ring star areas that were cut off by the Trade Federation or refused to share navigation data, leading to temporary isolation. Large-scale riots broke out in these places when traffic was initially cut off, killing imperial officials and overthrowing the
The rule of the Empire. However, with the efforts of astronomers, hyperspace experts, deep space navigation robots, etc., the Galactic Empire gradually restored traffic after a few months.
And those planets where riots occurred, without exception, were brutally and bloody suppressed!
Such suppression naturally aroused more resistance. These planets have basically been sown with the seeds of resistance, and under the command of an invisible hand, they were broken into pieces, hiding again, and waiting for the opportunity.
the appearance of.
The Galactic Empire is now on fire everywhere. They have not noticed that the resistance movements in various places have gradually changed from random destruction by scattered soldiers to becoming more organized. And this kind of organization is not based on planets or star locations.
, and may even involve the layout of the entire galaxy!
Secondly, those companies that were in danger because the Trade Alliance was attacked gradually calmed down under the official appeasement of the Galactic Empire. After all, they are businessmen, and businessmen are driven by profit, and they are not willing to stand up and talk to others.
A head-on confrontation, especially with this target, is the invincible Galactic Empire.
After making a large number of promises, the large enterprises and consortiums within the Galactic Empire also accepted the official mediation of the Galactic Empire and accepted the statement that this military operation was only targeting the Trade Federation.
And more importantly, there are substantial benefits! Such as Vulture Planet and Alacord Industries.
Although the Vulture Planet was destroyed by the war, it was not completely plowed to the ground. Many of the factories on it are still working. This is especially true for Alacord Industrial Company. As one of the three major robot manufacturers in the galaxy, their industry and
The supply chain is not limited to the Vulture Planet, but is a huge system spanning thousands of planets. These have become the spoils of the Galactic Empire and are put on the table for those corporate consortiums to divide up.
The existence of the Trade Federation, which once became the largest commercial entity in the galaxy, is an extremely huge cake. The size of Alacod Industrial Company is only a component of the Trade Federation. In the Trade Federation, it was
There are thousands of companies in the glory of the world, and some of them are even larger than Alacord Industries!
These companies and enterprises have all become the targets of plunder by the Galactic Empire. At the same time, this is also the most substantial benefit. It blocks the mouths of other companies and allows these capitalists who have sucked the blood of the Trade Federation to sit down and talk again.
He is loyal to the Galactic Empire and thinking about the next carve-up target.
Maybe...the fourth group would be good.
Of course, if you can break into the planet Mequito, then the Interstellar Banking Association (M) will naturally be an incomparable goal!
Many nobles, wealthy families, giant companies, and capital have gradually forgotten the horror and despair of the Clone War, and began to fantasize again about the benefits that the war can bring.
In terms of diplomacy, the Galactic Empire firmly suppresses the Principality of Dawn, constantly organizing military exercises and cruises on the planet Fondo and the planet Kira, where heavy troops are gathered, to promote its military presence. The Principality of Dawn is also in the corresponding Yago
-Planet Dur and Eriadu conducted a series of military exercises in response.
Both sides have adopted a posture of fighting if they disagree, but in fact they are fighting a wolf with a straw - both sides are afraid, and they do not want to start a war at this time. They both feel that their preparations for war have not been completed, and they also feel that if
Once preparation is completed, the final victory will surely be achieved.
Therefore, at this stage, the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn do not want the Trade Alliance to hinder their original plans.
But no matter what, the actions of the Galactic Empire did make the Principality of Dawn dare not go too far. It never really sent force to reinforce the Trade Alliance, but only played a side role.
Finally, there are those people who are sympathetic to the Trade Alliance.
The propaganda agency of the Galactic Empire spared no effort to portray the Trade Federation as an evil, cruel, and ruthless super giant. It also convinced all people that their miserable lives were precisely because the Trade Federation controlled transportation in most areas of the galaxy.
and logistics, levying high transportation fees, causing prices to skyrocket.
In addition, the Trade Federation was indeed inactive in many places, so this kind of propaganda was quickly accepted by the public.
Not only that, the Galactic Empire also announced the establishment of the Ministry of Public Transport to take over the transportation and logistics business of the Trade Alliance. The Ministry of Public Transport also promised to reduce transportation costs and thereby lower prices, which is the direction of their future efforts.
As a result, in such a series of actions, the Trade Federation eventually became a lonely entity, struggling to persevere alone in the war against the Galactic Empire.
The current war has burned into the three wealth worlds of the Trade Federation in the core circle of the galaxy - Cato, Deko and Crewe. Among them, the planet Cato-Neimoidia is the place where the battle is most intense.
Darth Vader believed that a frontal attack on the defense line of the planet Cato-Neimoidia would inevitably cause serious losses, so he carried out special operations and parachuted more than 200 groups of the most elite warriors to the planet, including
Clone Trooper 99.
Although most of these troops were wiped out by the defenders of the Trade Alliance, the fire made true gold, and the troops that survived in the end were all the best among the best!
These warriors continue to carry out sabotage on the planet, including assassinations, kidnappings, and blowing up high-value targets such as space ports, warehouses, and material transfer stations, causing very serious losses to the Trade Alliance. And compared to the losses, it is even more
What is fatal is the leakage of a large amount of intelligence.
The intelligence currently on Darth Vader's desk contains a large amount of information on the planet's internal military deployment, material supply, and personnel mobilization.
Moreover, the battleships gathered from various places further strengthened Darth Vader's fleet, and he really began to think about the time for a general attack!
