The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1240 , Northern Wind and Cloud (End)

The Galactic Republic is now in the north, especially in the direction of the northwest. It can be said that it is a muddy mud, almost a hopeless situation.

Even when the planet Ord-Mantel was occupied by the separatists with their horns blowing their horns in a big way, the Republic dared not make a sound—because their nets were too big to catch them.

The planet Scipio is being invaded by geth, and Master Windu is leading the army to fight fiercely there. Moreover, the Interstellar Banking Association (S) has just split after all, and the Galactic Republic must also set an example for them and provide guarantees for their safety and credit, so there is no more force to reinforce the northern border.

Of course, the more important reason is the somewhat inexplicable intelligence of the Speaker Schiff Palpatine. According to this unbelievable but horrifying intelligence, the Republic’s Intelligence Department and the Republic’s Supreme Strategic Command, after thinking about it, believe that if Geth and Separatism really join hands, the Republic’s army will only be able to adopt passive strategies in the northern border .

They are ready to abandon the entire Northwest Territory and redeploy their defenses with the capital of the Seventh Army—the industrial planet Bilbringi located in the Inner Rim Star District—as the core.

Fortunately, Thorn-Hil's Interstellar Banking Association (M) is also carrying out its own integration. After they settled on the planet Ord-Mantel, they did not take any more actions. The continuous large-scale construction on the planet simply treats the nominal government of this planet—the Central Administration—as a transparent person.

However, the geth are still raging in the north! Still didn't stop!

One month later, in March of 20BBY, ​​because they couldn't resist the intrusion and massacre of the Geths, the Malarian Alliance, headed by Ansion and Malarian, was located in the middle-ring area of ​​the northwest of the Milky Way. '(Malarian Alliance) announces separation from the Galactic Republic and joins the Confederation of Independent Galaxies.

This alliance includes seven planets, all of which belong to the kind of planets that are equally powerful in the Milky Way. Because these planets are very close to each other, the distance between them does not exceed 3 seconds difference, so these 7 planets signed "The Keitumite Mutual Military Treaty" (The Keitumite Mutual Military Treaty) and established a regional alliance to advance and retreat together .

Because of this, the Malarion Alliance is still a local powerful force that speaks louder in the northern region of the galaxy. Now the Malarion Alliance directly withdraws from the Galactic Republic and seeks asylum from the Federation of Independent Galaxies. It has to be said that it is another fatal blow to the Galactic Republic's control in the north.

After receiving the request from the Malarion Alliance, the joint fleet of the Fourth Group and the Interstellar Banking Association (M) attacked again, symbolically playing a few rounds around the Anxin planet on the periphery of the alliance, leaving behind Some unrecognizable wreckage of the spaceship said that the battle was really "tragic", and then told the Malarion Alliance that the geth were repelled.

Musur, the representative of the Malarion Alliance, after escaping from the planet Coruscant, also tacitly praised the strength and efficiency of the Fleet of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, saying that joining the Confederation of Independent Galaxies was the most correct decision. The Galactic Republic that can't even protect our safety is a piece of shit.

As for Fan Ke, the former governor of the Eighth Army of the Republic who had fled from the northern border, he was immediately arrested by agents of the Intelligence Department of the Galactic Republic after returning to Coruscant. Afterwards, he was sent to a military court and accepted a secret trial.

The trial was personally presided over by the chairman of the Galactic Council, Schiff Palpatine. According to the jury members who participated in the trial, during the trial, Palpatine was almost furious, pointing at Fan Ke's nose and cursing, saying His own stupidity has brought the economy of the entire Republic into a pit, and the Interstellar Banking Association, which could have been accepted peacefully, is now divided into two. As a result, the Republic has almost no money to use, and has to issue a new currency of 10 trillion .

You must know that these currencies are not credit ingots that are cast with rare metals, but a credit currency with no real value, an electronic currency without any standard support, which is equivalent to overdrawing the credit of the Galactic Republic. This can only solve short-term problems. In the long run, this 10 trillion credit overdraft is enough to bankrupt the government of the Galactic Republic!

All of this is due to the fact that this idiot, Fan Ke, ruined the entire main fleet of the Eighth Army so easily!

In the end, Fan Ke was sentenced to death and executed immediately, and his and the Eighth Army Admiral Longo who had died in the battle, their family property will also be confiscated.

Such a severe punishment is indeed the highest in the Galactic Republic, which rarely uses the death penalty.

This shows Palpatine's hatred for Fan Ke, and from another perspective, it also shows that Tang Xiao ruthlessly defeated him this time.

The dark game of geth that Tang Xiao arranged more than ten years ago has finally played its biggest role.

In fact, it was just inadvertently. He didn't connect the Geth with the Interstellar Banking Association at that time, but just wanted to find a suitable place to place the Geth and use it as his back-up.

But there is also inevitability among the countless chances... After all, Tang Xiao is the apprentice of Darth Plagueis, and Darth Plagueis is also from the Interstellar Banking Association. It's at the lair of the Interstellar Banking Association in the Northwest Territory.

In addition, the planet Sojorun was destroyed later. When Tang Xiao released the geth, as a Geth under his direct control, he was not far from his loyal allies, the Kali, and it was not recorded in any star in the Milky Way. The place on the map, the Sojoran satellite naturally became the first choice.

So the rise of the Geth was naturally linked to the Interstellar Banking Association, and then Tang Xiao and Sang Hill used their tricks to dig a hole to bury the Eighth Army, and split the Interstellar Banking Association by the way. They are all planned with what they have in their hands.

The northern part of the Milky Way, in terms of the degree of development of the planets here, is actually not a very important place. To put it bluntly, it is the countryside. But the control of the northern border also meant that the fundamentals of the Kali, the Geth, the Interstellar Banking Association, and the Fourth Group were finally stabilized.

In this direction, like the southwestern region of the Milky Way where the Dawn Star is located, it really has the capital to compete with the Galactic Republic!

Palpatine actually didn't care about the state of the North. What he really hated was that he failed to fully accept the Interstellar Banking Association, and Tang Xiao knew that in the original plot, he used Rush Clovis to achieve this. little bit.

In the original plot, in the third and final year of the war, the Confederation of Independent Galaxies had actually been cut off from its source of funding, which was one of the important reasons why the Confederacy fell so quickly in the last year.

But now, Tang Xiao's plan is equivalent to freeing the Confederacy of Independent Galaxies from Palpatine's secret control economically, and it also allows his original plan to proceed smoothly step by step.

After that, Marcellin Wessel, the Governor of the Seventh Army of the Republic, successfully integrated part of the forces in the northern border by virtue of her ability and skills far surpassing Fan Ke, and brought the Geth and separatism into the northern border. The time of the ring area has been postponed for at least two years, and this is a later story.

Schiff Palpatine also quickly walked out of the shadow of the failure of the Interstellar Banking Association's split. Anyway, the lifespan of the Galactic Republic has entered the countdown, and some things now are just to make some of his arrangements go ahead. .

When the Galactic Republic collapses, the 10 trillion credit currency will naturally become waste paper, which can just be used to get rid of the economic crisis faced by his empire at the beginning of its establishment.

As for how many people go bankrupt in the middle, that's not something he needs to consider.

But soon, there was one thing that made him have to think carefully...
