Chapter 2059: Desperate and Powerful Empire (Part 2)

2060, Desperate and Powerful Empire (Part 2)

In the Galactic Empire, if the powerful people 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 profound nobles in the inner ring of the Milky Way, but these nobles have become the best bait for the top nobles. Mergers, acquisitions, destruction, and engulfment, all kinds of means emerge in an endless stream.

While the top nobles in the core circle spend a lot of wealth to satisfy Palpatine's greed, they will naturally choose to transfer their conflicts, so the inner ring becomes the best choice.

Under such crazy actions, the nobles in the inner ring have to choose to surrender. They rely on the top nobles in the core circle, use their own resources and background, and try to get along with several different nobles to squeeze out a little living space for themselves.

They will complain loudly in the parliament, trying to find a solution to their predicament, but no one will pay attention to them. Every pair of greedy eyes in the parliament has already regarded them as the most delicious prey.

What's even more desperate is that the nobles in the inner ring don't even have the qualifications to get close to the Emperor Palpatine! They can only find the governors and faction leaders to help them, and then choose a more decent attitude to be eaten up bit by bit by the latter.

The only difference is how long they can struggle before being eaten, and whether they can leave a mouthful of leftovers for themselves. And then, what they need to think about is how to please their new masters in front of them and make their lives a little better.

Similarly, what about the middle ring star zone? Those can no longer be said to be wealthy families, but just some relatively developed planets. Those planets in the middle ring star zone have completely lost their status, and their only value is that little bit of production and consumption capacity. So in this inhumane plunder and merger, the planets in the middle ring star zone have become commodity dumping grounds and parts processing plants.

The wealthy nobles in the core circle and the inner ring and their giant companies have tried every means to stimulate consumption on these planets. They corrupted the ruling class of these planets in various ways, making them promote the population explosion of the planets, guide people's distorted consumption concept, make these planets gradually lose their ability to take care of themselves, and then be included in the insignificant part of the imperial economic circle.

These "transformed" middle ring planets have tens of billions of people, but they have no ability to support these people. At the same time, the distorted consumption concept makes people on the planet compare with each other in large quantities, and vanity becomes the trend. The giant companies import all kinds of addictive cheap goods, destroying the original economic system of these planets, so that these planets can only rely on large-scale imports to maintain their survival.

Where does the money for imports come from? They will be arranged by the giant companies to produce some single, non-technical products. For example, the XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon used in the Imperial-class Star Destroyer... Oh, do you think it's the laser cannon itself? No, it's the shell of the heavy turbolaser cannon, or the barrel...

These complex equipment are disassembled into parts with no technical content, and then such factories are copied in large quantities on the middle ring planets to lower costs. And what can a planet that can only produce turret shells do in industry? Nothing works! They can only use all the income from their turret shell production to buy various goods provided by giant companies, so as to support the huge population base on their planet.

Such a planet, such people, will not have any future, nor any hope.

As for the outer ring star area?

Sorry, the Galactic Empire does not recognize the people in these places as citizens of the Empire. The Empire will only carry out inhumane plundering of these places. Only when the Empire makes demands on these planets, they are the Empire's territory and citizens of the Empire. And if it is a pirate invasion, or a famine needs support, hehe... you are not qualified.

The Galactic Empire has a special department to analyze how to maximize the use of planets in the middle ring star area and the outer ring star area.

For example, the planet Rafa, after analysis, believes that this planet does not have the foundation for the development of mining or industry, but the land is fertile, so the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture directly came to the door and forced people to grow high-energy crops. In order to reduce costs, they are not even willing to pay for fertilizers, just thinking about predatory planting, exhausting all the fertility of the planet, and then patting their butts and leaving.

As for how many people will starve to death on the planet? They don't care. After all, people dying of starvation and falling to the ground are also fertilizer, right? In a few hundred years, maybe this planet will be revitalized again? Nature is great, right?

In short, the Empire never cares about these outer planets. There are countless outer planets anyway, and they are plundered one by one, and there is no telling when they will stop plundering. There will always be endless leeks to harvest.

This is the extreme policy adopted by the Galactic Empire under Palpatine's rule.

Why did he do this? There is only one reason - fast.

Because this is the fastest way to increase his own power, not only his own power, but also the power of the Empire.

Only such plunder can allow the Empire to accumulate enough wealth and resources for its military expansion and preparation in the shortest time.

Only such centralization can allow the regime, which was originally forcibly reorganized to form the Empire in the midst of storms, 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 grew day by day. Not only him, but also powerful dark side users such as Darth Vader, Black Hole, and Katang are becoming stronger and stronger in such a dark and terrifying world.

Especially Palpatine, his mind was increasingly distorted by the power of the dark side. He didn't care what would happen to the Galactic Empire, he only cared about what he got!

As long as he has invincible power, no matter what the enemy is, he will be crushed by him alone! In this case, does he still need to take care of the opinions of those ants?

One Sith, isn't that the case?

As long as I am strong alone, it's fine. What happens to the Milky Way has nothing to do with me.

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 eliminate those endless rebellions and suppress those disobedient planets, so that he can plunder more wealth and resources! (End of this chapter)
