The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2065. Rise of the Rebels (Part 2)

After making some arrangements for the actions of the rebels here, Padmé Amidala went to another separate communication room in the basement, checked the time, and then opened the communication.

After waiting for about a few minutes, the communication was connected, and the image of a mature woman in her thirties was projected in the holographic projection.

Surprisingly, it is the Imperial Councilor of the planet Chandrila, Mon Mothma!

"Sorry, leader. The patrols on Coruscant have been intensified a lot in recent days, and it took me a little longer to get rid of those patrols." Mon Mothma also used the term 'leader' to call Padmé Armida. pull.

In the political arena, Padmé Amidala is her predecessor. Although she is only two years younger than Padmé, when she first became a member of the planet Chandrila in 32 BBY and still held the aura of being the youngest member of the Republic Parliament, Padmé Amidala had already served as a member of the Nasa The Queen of the Planet Naboo eliminated the Trade Federation's invasion of the planet Naboo, impeached the former Speaker Finis Valorum, and established Sheev Palpatine as the new Speaker.

However, Mon Mothma, who was born in a noble family, actually had different opinions with Padmé Amidala at the beginning. However, as they spent more and more time in the parliament, Mon Mothma was gradually attracted by Padmé Amidala. He was impressed by the brave, straightforward and intelligent Padmé Amidala.

Later, in the process of opposing Speaker Palpatine's autocratic power, among those who gradually came together, Padmé Amidala was actually the leader.

So for Mon Mothma, Padmé Amidala has always been her idol. When Padmé was determined to use force against Emperor Palpatine and began to form a rebel army, Mon Mothma was the first to stand up to support her, and he also used all his resources to assist the uprising. military activities.

And she naturally called Padmé Amidala 'leader'.

Padmé Amidala smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. Seeing that you are safe and sound over there is the most important thing to me. If this action hadn't been so important, I wouldn't have wanted to let him go. You’re involved in too much.”

"No, all of this is necessary." Mon-Mothma shook his head and said seriously, "I have made all preparations, including going into exile. As long as I can overthrow the reactionary rule of the Sith Lords, I can restore the Milky Way. Fairness and freedom, I’m willing to pay whatever it takes.”

She paused and then continued: "Yesterday, Congressman Bail Organa has formally submitted an impeachment to the Imperial Parliament. All the corrupt behaviors of Uloda, the governor of the 14th Army of the Empire, have been proven conclusive. During today's meeting, we will formally The impeachment process will be launched, and the Imperial Supreme Court will also participate. According to the previous arrangement, I will still stand on the side of the loyalists to defend Uloda and confront Senator Bail Organa. But if nothing happens, Uloda will be deposed."

Padmé said: "But this is just the beginning. The Empire will soon appoint a new governor, and we cannot let this happen quickly."

"Fathy is ready. He will compete for the position of governor of the 14th Army. This will be a destructive competition, the purpose is to delay the time for the overall situation of the 14th Army to be settled." Mon-Mosma Said, "But...what are you going to do to get the planet Rylos out of the Empire's rule?"

But Padmé shook her head and said, "The fewer people know about the whole plan, the better. I'm sorry, Senator Mothma, I can't let you know this part. It will only increase your danger."

Mon Mothma nodded and said: "I understand, leader. I will do my part well to ensure that Uloda's impeachment motion is successful and delays the emergence of a new governor of the 14th Army. Everything will be done in accordance with The plan is in progress. In addition, I am also trying to raise more funds, but recently Palpatine has also noticed some abnormal fund outflows. He ordered a thorough investigation of the finances of 29 planets, and Chandrila planet Among the list."

"Then you try to be careful. I will solve the financial problem. Don't expose yourself because of this trivial matter. If you need to settle the account, I can also use our funds to come and help." Padmé Armida Ra said.

"It's okay so far. I can pass part of the gap onto Fache. He may be charged with corruption, but you also know that corruption charges are probably the most common thing in the officialdom of the empire. Fache is very determined and knows what he should do."

"Then you should be more careful. After tomorrow's meeting, please reply to me as soon as possible." Padmé nodded.

"Okay, leader." Mon-Mothma smiled slightly, saluted Padmé, and then closed the communication.

Padmé Amidala was not finished yet, she connected with another communication, "General Dodenna, are your battleships ready?"

On the other end of the communication was a middle-aged man wearing a Galactic Empire Navy uniform. Judging from his badge, his current military rank was Major General.

Jane Dodenner, the former Vice Admiral of the Galactic Republic Navy, and Vice Admiral Skalid jointly commanded the Battle of Rendili System, but suffered a disastrous defeat due to Severance Tann's strategy. Later, he was abandoned by the Galactic Republic, but later through a series of efforts, he returned to the army and was promoted to rear admiral again.

He casually stroked his curly hair and said, "These two Imperial-class Star Destroyers are in good condition, almost as if they were just shipped out of the factory. But according to the records on the warships, they have been meritorious warships that have experienced more than 20 battles... It's very strange. The 'donor' you told me about is very skilled. I think he is at least at the level of admiral in the Imperial Army." Padmé Amidala said, "Don't worry about the origins of these two Star Destroyers. The more you know, the more dangerous it is." "So, you are the most dangerous one, aren't you?" Jane Dodonna smiled. "That's enough. We can't let such risks expand." Padmé said, "Since these two Imperial-class Star Destroyers can be used and the identification codes are fine, your mission can also begin. I will send you the instructions of the current 14th Army Governor Uloda. From today on, you are the commander of the reinforcements ordered by Uloda himself." "I understand, I will handle it." Major General Jane Dodonna smiled, saluted, and ended the communication. Next, Padmé Amidala made several more communications and arranged all the plans. If a third party saw her communication list at this time, they would definitely be shocked. Because the people Padmé contacted at this time involved a series of high-ranking and powerful people such as the Galactic Empire Parliament, the army, the administrative agency, and local officials! It's no wonder that she is almost omnipotent and knows everything about the Galactic Empire, because she has the support of these enlightened officials and officers! Padmé Amidala had a very deep relationship with the Galactic Republic military because of Anakin Skywalker. In addition, she was very active in the Republic Congress, and a large number of members were willing to stand on her side. The combination of various factors allowed her to use many relationships to weave a huge network to cover the Galactic Empire.

Of course, Palpatine's extremely brutal style of behavior was also the biggest help for Padmé Amidala's influence to be so huge.

And now, with the support of these people and the planning of Padmé Amidala, the uprising on the planet Ryloth will deal a heavy blow to the Galactic Empire!

…

For the Galactic Empire, from the second day, the situation on the planet Ryloth was like a wild horse running away, rushing directly in a completely uncontrollable direction.

First, Uloda, the governor who was originally responsible for rebuilding the Empire's 14th Army, was impeached by opposition members such as Bail Organa. The opposition members directly submitted a lot of evidence, clearly pointing out that Uloda misappropriated a large amount of funds originally used to rebuild the 14th Army and enriched himself.

What is even more unacceptable is that Uloda actually has connections with several interstellar pirates. After planning to rebuild the 14th Army, he will use these pirates to support his own interests, improve the status of the 14th Army, and make himself more powerful.

Such a conclusive accusation forced Uloda to leave the 14th Army's headquarters, the planet Ryloth, and go to the Imperial Center (formerly the planet Coruscant) to attend a meeting.

But before the impeachment process was completed, Uloda was still the governor of the 14th Army. However, the bad thing is that because the evidence against him is very conclusive, Uloda must devote himself to dealing with this crisis that concerns his entire political career during this period.

And the better thing is that Uloda seems to have received the support of some senators headed by Mon Mothma. They continue to help Uloda clear his name and confront the opposition senators of Bail Organa, further delaying the impeachment that should have been certain.

Uloda had never thought that the pirates who came to discuss cooperation were actually members of the rebels. They had been robbing the official supply ships of the Galactic Empire, but not civilian merchant ships. However, for the Galactic Empire, there seemed to be no difference between the two, as they were all pirates.

Just when Uloda was struggling in the center of the Empire, the two Nightwatcher-class frigates that were originally planned to go to the planet Rylos to strengthen the mobile patrol force were intercepted near the planet Tythe. They were intercepted by a formation of two Imperial-class Star Destroyers commanded by Imperial Navy Rear Admiral Jane Dodenna.

Rear Admiral Jane Dodenna directly presented the order of the 14th Army Governor Uloda, requesting to take over the two Nightwatcher-class frigates. Although the commanders of the two frigates were a little confused, it was impossible for them to go to Governor Uloda for confirmation, and the two Imperial-class Star Destroyers were actually here, so they chose to believe it.

Then, the two Nightwatch-class frigates were immediately replaced - Jan Dodenna simply asked for a meeting and boarded the warships. A team of extremely elite rebel soldiers wearing Imperial Navy uniforms completely occupied the two frigates in less than ten minutes.

So at this time, Jan Dodenna had two Imperial-class Star Destroyers and two Nightwatch-class frigates under his command, and also received real transfer orders from the frigate commanders.

When his powerful formation that was completely beyond his plan arrived at the planet Ryloth, the governor's adjutant who stayed behind on the planet Ryloth had almost no doubts - the hierarchy in the Imperial Navy was strict, and the commander of a squadron was not someone he, the adjutant, dared to offend.

If the 14th Army has been rebuilt and the army and fleet have been deployed, then the adjutant can completely ignore a mere squadron. But now, the 14th Army has just restored its number, and their governor is still guilty. Under such circumstances, the adjutant naturally does not dare to have any objection to Jan Dodenner, the fleet commander who has just been transferred from the center of the empire. idea.

The current 14th Army is in complete chaos, lacking unified command and leaderless. Jan Dodenner also struck while the iron was hot. He showed off his authority during the meeting, put on airs and scolded the original commander, and then demanded that all the warships be immediately integrated together for reorganization and reorganization.

In fact, the two Empire-class Star Destroyers led by Major General Dodenner played the most critical role in this matter. Because if he only leads two Victory-class ships, or two Aquitens-class ships, his words will not be very convincing at all.

But now the strength of the two Empire-class Star Destroyers and the two Night Watch-class frigates he brought was directly comparable to the strength of the original garrison fleet of Rylos planet. Now he has been directly appointed by the Empire Center, and the appointment is also With the signature of Governor Wuloda, the commander of the garrison fleet accepted the reorganization without much doubt.

And what does regrouping mean? As a reminder, there were originally two Imperial-class Star Destroyers in the garrison fleet, but the Marines above these two Empire-class ships are now stationed on the surface of the planet. But the two Empire-class Star Destroyers brought by Rear Admiral Jan Dodenner are fully manned!

Two entire legions, 18,000 rebel soldiers!

When reorganizing, the crews of both sides will also be reorganized. So facing 18,000 elite rebel soldiers, the entire garrison fleet changed owners without firing a shot!

At the same time, on the surface of Rylos, the Twi'leks immediately rose up and launched an uprising. A large number of Twi'lek warriors picked up a large number of weapons obtained from unknown sources, stormed the municipal centers of various cities, and arrested imperial officials.

But the uprising slogan put forward by these Twi'lek rebels was unexpected. They claimed that they were revolting to support Planet Governor Uloda! They demanded that the Galactic Empire immediately withdraw all charges against Uloda and return Uloda to the planet Rylos!
