Chapter 2314 Towards the Future (Part 1)
2314. Towards the Future (Part 1)
After officially ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, Darth Sidious also quickly cleaned up the bureaucracy of the former republic. His methods are very ingenious. First of all, he dealt with a large number of corrupt officials vigorously and resolutely with those confidantes who had originally supported him as the core. But this wave of purges has a clear target, and they are all those who sit on the fence in politics, or those who oppose the faction that claims to be emperor.
Then this wave of cleanups won the approval of the part of the councilors who had been with Bail Organa. Most of these congressmen are people with lofty ideals. Although they are a minority, they have not joined forces with those corrupt officials. Such people are useful to the empire. Darth Sidious appointed a group of these officials, which reduced the corruption and corruption within the empire a lot.
The Empire inherited the last legacy of the Galactic Republic, but it also inherited the dross of the Republic. In the face of the bureaucratic system that has penetrated to the root, even Darth Sidious cannot directly do it across the board, but can only do it step by step. He initially established a firm foothold for those members of the so-called Republican faction, and then formed a competitive relationship with those officials who followed him, known as the Imperial faction.
However, the real purpose of Darth Sidious is not to run the empire, but only for his own pursuit of power and strength. Of course, the current situation of the three pillars of the Milky Way also forced him to do something, so he also carried out some reforms to combat corruption within the empire. In addition to allowing imperial officials and republican officials to compete with each other, he also strengthened the original intelligence department of the republic, dispatched more manpower and funds, and increased the intensity of intelligence collection.
At the same time, he also established the New Order Maintenance Committee, which is also an intelligence agency, but more for the interior of the empire. The role is to ensure that everyone in the empire is extremely loyal to the empire and to the emperor. The subordinate Imperial Security Bureau is a public security law enforcement agency similar to the Police Headquarters.
Darth Sidious's meaning is very clear, directly using violent means to attack the Communist Party, and using force and fear to maintain his rule. He vigorously supported those industrial and financial oligarchs in the country, gained their support, and built the Galactic Empire into a regime with corruption, centralization, oligarchs, and white terror as the core.
Although in the long run, such a regime will definitely breed various unstable factors, and it is likely that large-scale turmoil will break out, but now the direct enemy, the Pan-Galaxy National Socialist Republic, is in sight, and doing so can restore its own strength as quickly as possible. strength to deal with the war that will break out in the near future.
After returning home and living in seclusion for a few months, Bail Organa reappeared in the political arena. He did not openly oppose the Galactic Empire, but re-assumed the post of governor of the planet Alderaan, and sent another member to the Imperial Council. The empire turned its face. But they are secretly organizing forces to overthrow Darth Sidious's reign of terror. However, he did not contact the Five-Star Alliance or the Pan-Galactic National Socialist Republic to obtain their help, because in Organa’s view, his attempt to overthrow Darth Sidious was an internal conflict within the Galactic Republic. And if it involves the Five Star Alliance or pnsr, it is an act of treason.
The Kuat Power Shipyard became the biggest winner. They made a lot of money in this war, and they also squeezed out the biggest competitor, the Rendili Interstellar Power Company, and completely monopolized the production of large warships in the Galactic Empire. After Lundili's rebellion, Darth Sidious also took over all the Lundili subsidiaries he could take over, and these enterprises were all handed over to Quart according to the agreement. In addition, the Kuat Power Shipyard also firmly stood by Sidious's side after he proclaimed himself emperor,
It has also become one of the most trusted confidantes of the emperor, and his strength has expanded even more.
Under the personal order of Darth Sidious, Lila Blissex, the chief warship designer of Kuat Power Dockyard, began to preside over the study of a brand new capital warship. According to the actual combat data of the just-concluded Galactic Civil War, the weakness of the Jaeger-class cruiser is very obvious. The slow maneuverability, huge but impractical hangar and other aspects make this kind of battleship a four-dimensional battleship. In fact, on the battlefield, the carrying capacity of up to 400 aircraft cannot bring a corresponding increase in combat effectiveness for warships. On the contrary, it brings the disadvantages of weak armor, poor maneuverability, and insufficient firepower to the battleship.
Therefore, this new main battleship will be larger, with thicker armor, faster speed, and more powerful firepower. In contrast, the amount of aircraft carried by fighter jets has become a secondary consideration. Because in Darth Sidious's view, blasting the enemy into pieces with the powerful main gun of the battleship is far more deterrent than paralyzing the enemy ship with fighter jets.
In addition to the Kuat Power Dockyard, the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association have returned to the embrace of the Empire and become members of the Empire's economic oligarchs. In fact, even when the civil war was going on, they still retained their parliamentary seats on the side of the Republic, and many of their industries were still operating on the side of the Republic, and they even paid taxes according to the law!
Darth Sidious did not directly embezzle their assets like the original plot, because the situation is different, powerful enemies still exist, and it is impossible for him to make such a short-sighted move to self-destruct the Great Wall. On the contrary, they use the chaos caused by the trade union and the Interstellar Banking Association on the side of pnsr to publicize them, and promote them as heroes of the war. A man of justice.
Before the two heroes, Governor of the Trade Federation Newt Gunray and Governor of the Interstellar Banking Association Thorn Hill, return to the empire, the Trade Federation is temporarily represented by Lot Dude, and the Interstellar Banking Association is temporarily represented by Rush Clovis acting. Among them, the changes of the Interstellar Banking Association are worth pondering, because Rush-Clovis is a human born on the planet Scipio, which means that the Muun people from the time of Darth-Plagues have a great influence on the Interstellar Banking Association. Control begins to end.
At the same time, the planets belonging to the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association, including Cato-Neimoidia, Balmora-Neimoidia, Skako, McGeeto, Scipio, and Castel are located in The developed planets in the inner ring star region have also joined the Galactic Empire one after another, greatly improving the strength of the empire.
The current Galactic Empire is turning itself into a complete war machine step by step!
...
As for the moment, Newt Gunley and Thorn Hill, who were portrayed as the heroes of the Galactic Empire and the pioneers of resisting the separatism, were hiding in the secret base on the planet Mustafar with trepidation.
Contrary to what they expected, they manipulated the major companies and companies they belonged to to divest, and destroyed factories and facilities, causing financial chaos and bank runs. Such actions did not last long. Some of the robots that had been shut down were activated again, and immediately began to be put into the activities of maintaining law and order.
A large number of employees of the Trade Union, the Interstellar Banking Association, and the Commercial Guild were arrested, and their industries were directly confiscated. These three commercial giants were also directly banned for treason. Their plan was completely defeated, the robot was not completely shut down, the pnsr fleet was not paralyzed, and the domestic economy was not paralyzed, which meant that Earl Dooku had already prepared for it, and it was impossible to be kind to them!
In this chaos, all kinds of complicated information kept coming, and the information that the Technology Alliance and the Enterprise Alliance did not participate in this riot was blocked intentionally or unintentionally.
A shuttle is slowly landing on the hangar platform of their secret base. Seeing this scene from the radar, Newt Gunley and others are even more frightened!
"Whose spaceship is this! Why did you find it here!!" Newt Gunley's deputy Rune Harkle yelled in panic, "This base has never appeared in any information at all! Even Earl Dooku In the star map in my hand, this place is just a volcano!!"
"No!! They are actually taking my company! My money! My money!!!" Shu Mai also exclaimed loudly. She saw the properties of her commercial guild being destroyed one by one, and the employees were arrested in batches, and she felt like a knife in her heart. Nothing made her angrier than having her money robbed.
In the midst of this chaos, the door slowly opened, and two figures appeared at the door, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, one with two hands and one with four hands. Only one of them was a tall beauty, with big golden curly hair hanging down, very charming. She was wearing a tight white leather jacket, with a short cape on the back, and a big X on the belt.
And the other person was much taller than that beauty, a full two meters tall, with a very strong body, with four hands, and looked like an upright toad.
"Emma Frost! Pang Krell!!!" Thorn Hill immediately recognized the identity of the person who came, and he also immediately understood the ending of his group, "You... you are How did you find out here?"
At this time, the Technology Alliance Governor Walter Tamber and the Enterprise Alliance Governor Passel Argent, who had been hiding silently in the corner, stood up and came directly in front of Emma and Krell. They saluted very respectfully and stood behind them. Although he didn't speak, it was the most powerful answer, telling Thorn Hill how they were discovered!
"You...you! Traitors!!" Thorn Hill pointed at Walter Tambor with trembling fingers and cursed angrily.
"These people seem to be useful, why don't you directly control their minds?" Pang Krell ignored those people at all, but turned to Emma and asked.
Emma Frost snorted coldly. Naturally, she would not say that she collided head-on with Master Windu's force on the battlefield of Corellia not long ago, and was seriously injured. She just said lightly: "I don't care about the waste. If you are interested, it is better to kill it."
"If that's the case, why bother your boss, I'll do it for such a small matter." After joining the Confederation of Independent Galaxy, Pang Krell immediately found that this regime with robots as the main force of war was really suitable for him. It didn't take long to get into character. Afterwards, the confederation was reorganized into pnsr, and he even more admired the national socialism of the pan-galactic system, and he was no longer as violent as he was in the republic. On the contrary, he has great admiration for strong people like Emma Frost and Peacock, and under the deliberate wooing of the other party, he quickly established a very good relationship with Guardian Planet.
"Isn't this boring..." Emma stroked her long hair at the temples, "The massacre on Mustafa, I can witness this historic scene, of course I will not be behind."
Of course Pang Krell would not know that what Emma was talking about was actually in the movie "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith", in which Anakin Skywalker killed Newt Gunley and other independent galaxies in Mustafa That classic scene at the top of the Confederacy. He just snorted a few times, unfastened the two double-ended lightsabers from his back and held them in his hands. With a bang, the green lightsabers unfolded, and his four hands waved the two double-ended lightsabers at the same time, towards Newt. - Goon Ray and the others charge straight over there! He betrayed the Galactic Republic, but did not fall into the dark side, so the force he used is still the power of the light side.
"We can give money! We can give money!!" Newt Gunley left the last words in his life, and was cut off from the forehead by Pang Krell's sword, and the whole person was cut in half!
In fact, Darth Sidious had foreseen their deaths when he declared them heroes of the Galactic Empire, otherwise, he would not have allowed a living person to be a hero before him, yes , Only the dead are heroes!
It's a pity, alas, that Newt Gunley, Thorn Hill and Shue Mai failed to see through this after all. They are just businessmen, and businessmen should do businessmen's business. If they get involved in politics, they can't understand the means and thoughts of politicians. Death is the only ending.
...
The chaos brought about by the three major business giants subsided quickly, and companies defected from the Republic, led by Rendili Interstellar Power Company and Incom Company, invested a lot of money and products, taking the opportunity to fill a large number of gaps in the market.
And more importantly, a large number of pnsr local enterprises have risen rapidly! A large number of companies, including the Guardian Group, the Parmante Star Dock, and the Freedak Volunteer Engineering Group, have taken action as if premeditated, buying at low prices or directly embezzling and occupying various industries of the three major business giants. rapid expansion.
Not only that, a name that is a little strange to pnsr has also begun to emerge, Zane Consortium! ! This mysterious consortium owns countless funds, and also controls a large number of enterprises. Its power spans black and white, and its power is extremely powerful. Moreover, the companies under the Zane Consortium cover a wide range of industries, from transportation to catering and entertainment, there is no industry that they do not set foot in.
In fact, the Zane Consortium has stronger control over some dark corners that the army cannot take care of. In the process of quelling the chaos created by the three major business giants, these underworld forces also played a very large role. At this time, some rumors began to spread among the people of pnsr.
The Zane Consortium turned out to be the group that defeated the largest gangster in the galaxy, the Black Sun! Not only did they defeat Black Sun and kill Prince Xizuo, the leader of Black Sun, but they also took over most of Prince Xizuo's property by some unknown means, and became existences that could stand up to Black Sun in the dark world in one fell swoop!
They made their fortunes in Nashada, the smuggler's moon in the Hutt space, and the Zane Consortium. It turned out that they were the ones who defeated the biggest gangster in the galaxy, Black Sun! Not only did they defeat Black Sun and kill Prince Xizuo, the leader of Black Sun, but they also took over most of Prince Xizuo's property by some unknown means, and became existences that could stand up to Black Sun in the dark world in one fell swoop!
They made their fortunes in Nashada, the smuggler's moon in the Hutt space,
