The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1862. Tang Xiao’s crowbar

In Palpatine's Galactic Empire, class divisions became even more severe. Even the wealthy families in the inner and core circles began to see huge cracks.

For example, the Tagg family of Casio Tagg could even have a huge fleet of 5,000 small and medium-sized warships as a private army. However, many other former noble families were dismissed simply because they were considered unreliable by Palpatine. Stripped of everything.

This deprivation is not a one-time thing, but a knife-cutting, bit by bit.

In the end, they could only hand over their wealth and resources to Palpatine bit by bit as protection fees, becoming the pockets of the Sith Lord and Imperial Emperor.

Only under such naked plunder and exploitation could the Galactic Empire have the ability to expand its fleet on a large scale.

Because during the Galactic Republic, if you wanted to build a warship, it needed to be reviewed and approved by the Ship Supervision Committee, and then submitted to the Galactic Parliament. After the parliament met and approved, the procurement was carried out, the cost was reported to the financial review, and then funds were allocated for construction.

In this process, it is impossible to count how much exploitation and deception took place. The result is that the finances of the Galactic Republic are becoming increasingly overwhelmed, and military expenditures are increasing. As a result, at last glance, there are only so many warships that can be built.

And what about the Galactic Empire? Palpatine issued a direct order, and all one hundred battleships were put on the production line. Raw materials? Looted at little cost; workers? They are all slaves, just take care of the food and don't starve to death; industrial giant? They are all Palpatine's own.

That's why the Galactic Empire can expand its army so unscrupulously. After expanding its army, it further oppresses those exploited planets and collects wealth in a predatory manner.

Under such circumstances, all officials, generals, nobles, and companies valued by Palpatine all have privileges. As a result of their privileges, they became more unscrupulous in their extortion and extortion, bringing terror to every planet controlled by the Galactic Empire.

Therefore, the entire Galactic Empire is all about deeds and corruption, and corruption is far more serious than during the Galactic Republic. However, if during the Galactic Republic, the entire inner circle, core circle, high-level officials, and parliament were corrupt, then in the Galactic Empire, only a small privileged class was corrupt.

In fact, the result can only be darker!

So in the final analysis, the Galactic Empire is indeed expanding its military power at a speed that was unimaginable during the Galactic Republic, but this process has been caused by countless planets paying a heavy price.

And the Galactic Empire can only continue to expand its army, because once the expansion stops, they themselves will die first.

This is a vicious cycle of militarism, and there is no future or hope at all!

The Galactic Empire, like that mustache, has opened the devil's box and cannot stop at all. Even if he wants to stop, those privileged people will push him to continue moving towards the abyss.

From Palpatine's perspective, he didn't care at all. He doesn't care about the life and death of the people in the entire galaxy. He only cares about when he can become a Sith and rule the galaxy.

The Galactic Empire has no future? It doesn't matter, just expand the army crazily and wipe out all the enemies. As for what will happen to the Galactic Empire in the future? To die of poverty or starvation? He doesn't care.

In fact, Palpatine himself was the biggest embezzler in the Galactic Empire.

Not only did he obtain a huge wealth through corruption and bribery, but he also directly used the official power of the Galactic Empire to facilitate his own research on the dark side.

Countless human experiments, countless modifications, mutations, and dark side erosion.

Darth Sidious's strength is getting stronger and stronger, even expanding to unprecedented levels! If in the previous head-to-head confrontation on the planet Korriban, he was only slightly better than Darth Malthael, and was finally tricked by Malthael's death force, now his strength has been Once again, the gap opened up between him and Darth Malthael.

The difference between the two of them is that Darth Sidious did not hesitate to kill the goose to get the eggs and fish from the marsh. He just wanted to become a Sith. Darth Malthael, on the other hand, is solid and down-to-earth. He focuses on the process.

Of course, if Darth Malthael had not foresighted the wave of liberalism that was about to sweep across the galaxy and the power of the Rebel Alliance, he would not have been able to respond to the pressure from Darth Sidious and the Galactic Empire. To be so calm.

As Count Dooku said, Tang Xiao himself did not think that he was better than Palpatine. The latter is the most powerful villain, conspirator, and politician in the entire plot of "Star Wars". Before time travel, he was just an ordinary person. Even with this unknown source of death force, he could not imagine that he could be like this. compared to its existence.

However, it would be better to return home, Tang Xiao was able to grasp the future direction of the universe. This may seem like a trivial point, but it is actually very important, even more important than the database in the mothership!

Because this is the crowbar that Tang Xiao can use to move the mountain of Palpatine!

With such foresight, Tang Xiao was able to plan for himself to become Darth Plagueis's apprentice at the very beginning and inherit his legacy, and then he could continue to plan for Darth Tenebrous to compete with this veteran Sith. Lord further learning and growth.

And without the careful teachings of these two Sith Lords, Tang Xiao would never have grown into the Archangel who could compete with Palpatine. Without such growth, as an ordinary college student, even if he is given a huge force and a powerful fleet, he will be brought into the ditch in minutes.

In this process, there are no cheats from the mothership, only Tang Xiao's own efforts and struggles, as well as his foresight.

Just as now, Tang Xiao knows that what can defeat the Galactic Empire is not an invincible fleet, nor how advanced technology, but the angry people who rose up under the perverse actions of Palpatine and the Galactic Empire!

So after he made a separate peace with Palpatine, he was not in a hurry to expand his military strength, nor was he in a hurry to build those powerful battleships in the mothership database. The first thing he did was to digest the planet Rendili and expand himself. Strength, while stabilizing the rear, and striving to prevent the Dawn Principality from falling apart in the coming storm of uprising.

There are countless powerful battleships in the mothership database, but manufacturing these things requires costs, factories, and different technologies that need to be overcome. If you just pull out all those powerful battleships to form a fleet of all nations, you don't need to fight, your own logistics will collapse first. The one who loses in the end is himself.

Therefore, instead of blindly pursuing the power of a single battleship, it is better to establish your own system first. Whether it is an economic system, an industrial system, a social system, a military system, or a fleet system, only in this way can we remain standing in a galaxy that is increasingly heading towards chaos.

The Galactic Empire is singing loudly for the victory of the Salukami planet; it is shouting for fierce battle as they begin to exert their huge industrial advantages and build a fleet that is ten or even a hundred times better than the Principality of Dawn. ; While they were excited that their emperor Darth Sidious could once again overwhelm Darth Malthael with his own power; little did he know that Darth Malthael was consolidating his internal affairs while He watched with indifference, quietly counting the remaining days of the Galactic Empire.

That's right, 170,000 uprisings broke out in 7 months. Palpatine felt that the victory of the Salukami planet and the secret construction of the DS-1 battle fortress in a place that Tang Xiao didn't even know could shock everyone with terror. People, can you take control of the situation next?

But Tang Xiao would tell him that you were wrong. What you encounter now is just the beginning!
