Chapter 2063 The Rise of the Rebel Army (Part 2)

2064. Rise of the Rebels (Part 2)

After avoiding the patrols of the imperial army, Padmé-Amidala and her party came to an inconspicuous village. There are about 4 to 50 households in this village, and people make a living by raising fish around the nearby lake.

Such a life without fighting against the world is actually not uncommon among more populous outer-ring planets such as Rylos. Many residents are not interested in the so-called high-tech products in the center of the galaxy. They prefer their traditional simple life.

Entering a wooden house, you are greeted by an enthusiastic electronic voice, "Oh, distinguished leader Amidala, it is so good to see you arrived here safe and sound." A yellow phone with a yellow screen came out of the house. The copper-colored ceremonial robot, C-3PO.

"They arrived yesterday." A rebel soldier nearby said, "We have made proper arrangements. This village is full of our people."

Padmé Amidala nodded, lifted her hood, and walked inside.

Several elderly villagers inside quickly stood up and bowed to her, then opened a shelf full of dried fish, revealing a basement passage.

Entering the passage is like entering another world. The most advanced communication equipment is arranged here, and there is also a small but very precise holographic star map. On the star map, the star area surrounding Rylos planet is clearly displayed.

"Leader! We are ready! Let's start!" A rebel soldier looked at Padmé Amidala very excitedly and gave a vigorous military salute.

Even his movements were trembling due to excessive force. After all, the person standing in front of him was the respected leader! It is the spiritual pillar of the rebel army!

Padmé smiled slightly, her smile seemed to be filled with sunshine, dispelling the haze shrouded in the sky and giving people courage and confidence. She nodded and said: "Don't underestimate our enemies, but we can't lose our confidence either. The situation on Rylos Planet has matured, and this is what we all have achieved all along. And today, we will take the final step here." The key and the most difficult one.”

"Yes!" The rebel soldiers around him suddenly became excited.

A Twi'lek rebel army officer immediately clicked on the holographic star map and displayed the mark on it in red, "Leader, we have obtained all the information about the Imperial Army on the planet Rylos. You see... the Milky Way The empire's naval force on the planet Rylos consists of two Imperial-class Star Destroyers, two Victory-class Star Destroyers, five Aquitens-class light cruisers, and two Night Watch-class frigates will arrive tomorrow. The warships are parked in the space station in the outer orbit of the planet... However, two of the Aquitance-class light cruisers will patrol around the equator of the planet once a day. During the patrol, the carrier-based aircraft formation will continuously take off in a three-aircraft formation. , expand patrol scope.”

He continued to mark on the holographic projection and said: "Then in the capital city of Lessu, the Galactic Empire is stationed with the 339th Clone Commando Battalion, with a total number of more than 2,400 people, and the 272nd Legion of the Imperial Stormtroopers. The total number of people is more than 9,200. They are stationed in the barracks area 1.5 kilometers east of Lesu City. Then there are mainly some local security forces in other cities on the planet, with a total number of more than three million. "

Padmé Amidala nodded and said: "I believe that every Twi'lek yearns for freedom and hates the exploitation of the Galactic Empire. This is also the result I obtained in the previous investigation, and it is also the result I obtained. The important reason for standing here now. According to the information I have received, the Galactic Empire is formulating a combat plan against the Principality of Dawn, and as part of the plan, the Galactic Empire will launch an attack on the planet Christophsis. The starting point of the attack is the planet Rylos."

The Twi'lek officer nodded and said: "In other words, the Galactic Empire rebuilt the 14th Army and continued to set up its general headquarters on the planet Rylos. This is why...the planet Christofsis has been occupied by the Dawn Principality for ten years. Over the years, they have been strengthening the planet's defenses. Now the total population there exceeds 40 billion. Coupled with the complete defense facilities, you can judge the scale of the Imperial Army's investment in the attack. ?"

Padmé Amidala said with great certainty: "The strength of an entire sector fleet is at least 150 capital ships and 4,000 small and medium-sized battleships. And the first batch of ground troops will invest at least 20 legions, 180,000 People. In order to maintain their frontline offensive, the number of ground troops assembled on the planet Rylos should reach about 3 million. "

"Such an army... would have to tear off a layer of the land of Rylos!" the Twi'lek officer waved his fist, "They are currently building a large-scale barracks, and are also building four large space buildings. Spaceport. All these expenses are borne by the planet Rylos, and the workers are all our people!"

"So, we can't let them continue like this." Padmé Amidala said, "The Imperial Senate has also made arrangements. There is solid evidence of some corruption by Uloda, the governor of Rylos, during his tenure as the planetary governor. We will first launch the impeachment of Uloda, and if nothing unexpected happens, there will be results soon. When the Empire sent the investigation team, it happened to be a power vacuum on Rylos."

The Twi'lek officer nodded and said, "The next thing will also proceed as planned!"

Padmé patted his shoulder and said, "Whether Rylos can get rid of the control of the Empire depends on this!"

Everyone started to get busy according to the previous plan. With Padmé Amidala here, every rebel soldier present was full of strength.

Yes, because...she is the leader of all the rebels!

A few years ago, when the Confederacy of Independent Systems was still struggling, many planets stood up against the Empire because of the tyranny of the Galactic Empire. But although these uprisings occurred one after another, there was no organization at all. The rebels just relied on their passion to temporarily organize a group of people to fight against the imperial army.

For example, the uprising on the planet Rafa was like this.

The Galactic Empire forced Rafa to grow high-energy crops, plundering the fertility of the planet's land, and even unwilling to use chemical fertilizers. Moreover, the Empire forced the farmers on the planet Rafa to work intensively, only giving them a small amount of allowances, and even this little bit of charity was often withheld.

So the people of Rafa went on strike. They organized to attack the imperial army, seize weapons, and attack the imperial army's base. In fact, the ideas of these rebels were very simple, just wanting to drive the empire out.

But this is almost impossible.

The uprising on the planet Rafa was very serious. At that time, Ahsoka Tano also participated in it. They once captured the barracks of the Galactic Empire, killed all the imperial troops inside, and robbed several spaceships.

But the Galactic Empire soon made a comeback. Three Victory I-class Star Destroyers immediately landed on the planet. A large number of TIE/LN fighters took off and wreaked havoc across the entire planet, destroying every ship that appeared in their sight!

After having absolute air superiority, the Imperial fighters began to bomb the places where the rebels appeared. Fighters continued to dive and strafe, and TIE bombers also roared and dropped high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs. Towns and villages turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the fields that people had worked hard to cultivate were also engulfed by the fire.

After completely blasting the rebels who rose up in rebellion, a large number of Imperial stormtroopers began to land and carried out an inhumane massacre of those rebels who could no longer form an organization!

In the end, the uprising on the entire planet of Rafa was completely suppressed. Seeing that the resistance was hopeless, the farmers had to return to the fields and continue to overdraw the fertility of the planet under the guns of the Imperial stormtroopers to grow high-energy crops for the empire.

Since the Galactic Empire began to rule the Milky Way, such resistance and suppression have occurred almost every day. Countless people have been massacred by the Imperial army and countless cities have been plowed into flat land. Even some planets that were too noisy would attract orbital bombings from the Imperial Navy! The one who appeared on these planets and personally issued the orbital bombing orders was none other than Darth Vader, the apprentice and confidant of the Imperial Emperor Palpatine!

The uprising at that time was desperate, as if it was a suicide mission. People could no longer bear it and chose to rise up, and the result was indeed the same death.

The strength of the Empire is beyond doubt, and it is definitely not something that a single planet can resist.

At this time, Padmé Amidala was born!

People did not know who this person was, but only knew that this person had a voice full of power and courage, and had the wisdom to constantly deal with the Galactic Empire. Some people called her the "leader", so they started calling her that.

Padmé Amidala first established a very secret and very efficient communication mechanism. No one knew how she did it, but she could indeed connect all the resistance movements on many planets, and connected more and more resistance movements in series without the Imperial Security Bureau knowing anything.

This alone is a miracle.

And with the help of this communication network, Padmé Amidala began to convey her ideas to many planets that wanted to rise up against the Empire. She gave secret speeches through many channels and distributed various leaflets.

She has a very complete theoretical system on how to resist the Empire. The most important point is that she clearly pointed out that the reason why the Galactic Empire is so corrupt and brutal now is that the Emperor Palpatine is a Sith Lord!

The Sith Lords are a group of evil beings who distorted the Force and used the Force to satisfy their desires. They are the dark side of the Force. Because of this, Emperor Palpatine of the Empire used the entire Galactic Empire as a tool to realize his ambitions. At the same time, Tang Xiao, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Dawn, is also an evil Sith Lord.

The struggle between the two Sith Lords dragged the entire galaxy into the war.

Therefore, the ultimate goal of their rebel army is to overthrow the rule of the Sith Lords, including Palpatine and Tang Xiao, over the galaxy, and then rebuild the Galactic Republic to bring freedom and democracy back to the galaxy!

The introduction of this guiding ideology can be said to be a qualitative change for the rebels in the entire galaxy. In fact, since ancient times, all rebels have needed such a clear and long-term goal. Once there is no clear enough goal to guide them, it will be like a certain heaven. After achieving a staged victory, they will fall into confusion and finally lose themselves in power.

Padmé Amidala directly pointed the spearhead at the Sith Lord and the dark side of the Force, letting everyone know who their enemy is!

With a program, Padmé Amidala began to consider the overall situation from a higher perspective and made clear suggestions to those planets that wanted to launch an uprising. For example, let some planets with very bad situations not rebel for the time being and die in vain, and gradually weaken the power of the empire through resistance actions in other regions, and then succeed in the uprising.

And the planets that successfully revolted often negotiate with local officials of the empire to strive for a better living environment, or create a power vacuum in the empire to keep the power of the empire away temporarily.

All these actions ultimately come down to one point - weaken the power of the empire and strengthen their own power!

All uprisings are temporary, just to spread the idea of ​​resisting the Empire, the dark side and the Sith Lord, so that more people can understand it, and at the same time, to help those who can't survive.

And the materials they seized from the Empire during the uprising were used to strengthen themselves on the one hand, and to help those planets in despair on the other.

That's right, in some places where the Empire is more powerful, Padmé Amidala will not force them to resist, but will let them endure and wait for a better opportunity.

At the same time, Padmé Amidala also began to build her own elite force, and this force was like a ghost, attacking the Empire everywhere, making the Imperial military very annoyed but unable to catch their traces.

In such a constant struggle, Padmé Amidala became the existence that the Galactic Empire wanted to get rid of as soon as possible in the name of "leader".

But the Galactic Empire did not connect the "leader" with the former Naboo planet councilor. Because Padmé Amidala is already a dead person. No matter how much the Imperial Intelligence Department investigates, it will not find a dead person.

And Padmé Amidala's speech will also slightly change her voice, making her voice deeper and more magnetic. Most of the rebels who have seen her in person do not know the former Naboo senator, and these people stand together because of their firm beliefs, and they will never betray Padmé.

In fact, Darth Vader has a feeling that Padmé Amidala may not be dead, but he can't tell this feeling to others.

So, this became the 'leader' - the powerful leader of the rebels!
