Chapter 1242 The Civil War Begins (It’s also good to eat sweet potatoes recently)

This is a day worth recording in the history of the Galactic Republic.

On this day, the battle that broke out on the planet Geonosis marked the beginning of the civil war between the Independent Federation and the Bank Republic.

In this initial battle, the Galactic Republic suffered heavy losses. All the masters of the Jedi Council fell in it, and no one survived, which dealt a great blow to the Galactic Republic. Of course, the external statement is that the Independent Federation used the captured Jedi Masters to fish, and the Jedi Council was careless and underestimated the enemy, misjudged the fighting will and strength of the Independent Federation, suffered heavy losses, and was annihilated.

This rumor was jointly promoted by the Independent Federation and Palpatine. The reason is very simple. At that time, all the existence there was destroyed by Duanmu Huai. Even the Independent Federation only knew that everything there was destroyed. Who did it? Well... Count Dooku said it was their back-up, so the Independent Federation adopted it. After all, it would be a waste not to spread such a long-term thing to destroy the prestige of others.

As for why Palpatine pushed for it, the reason is even simpler. On the one hand, he wanted to cover up the evidence of the Inquisition's involvement. On the other hand, Palpatine wanted all the Jedi to die. This rumor not only discredited the Independent Federation, but also accused the Jedi Council of being rigid, stupid, and ultimately self-destructive.

One discredit, two discredits, Palpatine was so happy that he wanted to open champagne.

After all, for Palpatine, the most difficult thing was not the Independent Federation, but the Jedi Knights. No matter what the facts were, at least in the Galactic Republic, most people believed that the Jedi Knights were the guardians of the Galactic Republic, so they were born supporters of the Jedi Knights. This is also the reason why it is difficult for Palpatine to directly attack the Jedi Knights. After all, if you want to discredit the Jedi Knights, most people will not agree.

But now... I am not discrediting, I am just stating the facts!

Even the most loyal Jedi supporters would think that the Jedi Knights were brainless after reading the battle report. Just over a hundred people dared to rush over to save people, and the result was that the whole army was wiped out!

There is no way to do this. Most people are result-oriented. If the Jedi Knights won, they would naturally say that the Jedi Knights were strong, dared to fight against the majority, and finally successfully rescued their companions and broke the conspiracy of the Independent Federation.

And now they have lost... You have lost, so you are just stupid, right?

Now there is no need for Palpatine to discredit them. Many people are very disappointed with the Jedi Knights. After all, the entire Jedi Council has been involved!

Although some Jedi Knights did not have time to join for various reasons, the collapse of the Jedi Council still dealt a great blow to them. For these Jedi Knights, Palpatine naturally secretly tried to send them to the front line, so that they could die one by one in the battle with the Independent Federation... Well, they don’t have to do it themselves.

Palpatine was not worried that they would not die, the reason was very simple, because the current situation of the Galactic Republic was not good.

Although the collapse of the Jedi Council made Palpatine want to open champagne in the office, this news was a huge blow to the morale of the entire Galactic Republic.

After all, even the Jedi Masters of the Jedi Council and more than a hundred Jedi Knights died in the hands of the Independent Federation. Can they really win?

This also led to the fact that in the early stage of facing the offensive of the Independent Federation, the Galactic Republic was beaten without any ability to fight back, and had various disadvantages.

However, the Independent Federation was not able to take advantage of the situation to go further, for only one reason.

The Inquisition.

Among the planets attacked by the Independent Federation, there are naturally many planets belonging to humans or humanoid races. Whenever the Independent Federation tries to attack these planets, the warships of the Inquisition will immediately appear, catch the fleet of the Independent Federation and hammer them into pieces and then leave.

After several consecutive times, the Independent Federation and the Galactic Republic discovered this problem, so the Galactic Republic immediately turned around and concentrated its forces on those galaxies that did not belong to humans to strengthen defense. After hitting the wall several times, the Independent Federation had to accept this painful reality and turned to the galaxies controlled by non-human races to fight with the Galactic Republic.

So a strange scene appeared. Some galaxies were peaceful and everyone lived in peace. Some galaxies were fighting each other to the death.

Most people did not want to be involved in the war, and they hurried to migrate to those galaxies that were not fighting, but... the other side rejected their request to escape!

The reason is also very simple. After all, the Inquisition, as a force that can influence the war situation between the Independent Federation and the Galactic Republic, will naturally be known to everyone, and naturally the principles and positions of the Inquisition will be known. In short, they only protect humans and sub-humans. Apart from this, they have nothing to do with them, and it is best for them to die!

Although no one dares to support the Inquisition's proposition in public under the background of the Galactic Republic, as the beneficiaries, they are also clear in their hearts. It is precisely because their own galaxy is full of humans that the Inquisition will appear to help. What if we let those alien races in, and the Inquisition decides that this galaxy no longer belongs to humans and simply abandons them?

Now the Galactic Republic is not strong in military strength, and it has been defeated repeatedly. If it does not rely on the Inquisition to protect itself, can it rely on the Galactic Parliament, which can do nothing? What if the Inquisition does not come at that time, and the fleet of the Galactic Republic cannot be relied on, then won’t their home be finished?

As Duanmu Huai once said, in the face of the threat of life and death, all races must think of their own continuation at the first time, so those galaxies resolutely rejected the requests of other alien races for asylum and directly blocked them out. This naturally made other alien races very dissatisfied. Of course, they did not dare to confront the Inquisition, but they were very angry about the betrayal of their own people.

We are all citizens of the Galactic Republic. Didn’t you also say that the galactic races should unite? Why did you start to sweep the snow in front of your own door at this time? What you said before was all bullshit?

In this case, then we don’t want this Galactic Republic!

In this mentality, many galaxies surrendered to the Independent Federation and joined the Independent Federation. The Independent Federation was naturally very happy about this, and they would wake up with laughter in their dreams at night. You know, they originally wanted to persuade those galaxies to join the Independent Federation, but they didn't expect that because of an Inquisition, these galaxies actually took the initiative to move closer to them!

Because of this, under the influence of the Inquisition, the entire star field gradually became a situation where the Galactic Republic, with humans and subhuman races as the core, was against the Independent Federation other than humans and subhuman races.

This was naturally what Duanmu Huai was happy to see—of course, there were also some ignorant humans who stood on the side of the Independent Federation, claiming to maintain some kind of free democracy, but it didn't matter. The Inquisition's attitude towards heretics was no different from that towards aliens.

However, for the Independent Federation, the problem also emerged.

On the surface, the Independent Federation defeated the Galactic Republic and lost a lot of galaxies.

But in fact, all these galaxies are actually galaxies of alien races, that is to say, after fighting all the way down to now, the remaining galaxies are all galaxies of humans and subhumans.

What does this mean?

It means that they must face the Inquisition head-on!

And facing it means death!

In the past, if the Independent Federation could not beat the Inquisition, it could go to other galaxies and fight to the death with the fleet of the Galactic Republic.

But now it's different. No matter where they go, the fleet of the Inquisition will appear at the fastest speed and smash the fleet of the Independent Federation to pieces.

As for the fleet of the Galactic Republic, they are also happy to see this situation. They have retreated to the rear to start resting and rebuilding.

This makes the Independent Federation impatient. After all, they are fighting a blitzkrieg and seizing the opportunity when the Galactic Republic has no time to rest. Once the Galactic Republic is given a chance to breathe, then when it comes to its senses, I'm afraid they will be in trouble!

In fact, strictly speaking, at this point, the goal of the Independent Federation has been completely achieved. Not only do they have the territory and strength to compete with the Galactic Republic, but they have also attracted many galaxies to them. It can be said that this is a hundred times better than what the Independent Federation expected when it started the uprising.

However, people are always greedy, especially for forces like the Independent Federation, which is composed of capitalists.

When the Independent Federation thought that if they could take Coruscant, they could rule the entire Galactic Republic, they suddenly felt that the current situation of dividing the river and governing was unacceptable.

They want to swallow up the entire Galactic Republic!

Coupled with the instigation of Count Dooku, the leaders of the Independent Federation were full of confidence.

However, in front of their ambitions, the Inquisition became an insurmountable obstacle.

At this time, the Independent Federation had to really pay attention to the Inquisition, a force that they had originally ignored. After all, if they could not defeat the Inquisition, then they would not be able to (or dare not to) attack Coruscant.

But how to deal with the Inquisition?

Grievous, the robot general of the Independent Federation, proposed a fantastic idea in response to this.

That is... ... ... full bloom!

According to General Grievous, it carefully studied the battle of the Inquisition and found a problem, that is... ... Although the battleships of the Inquisition are indeed powerful, they are relatively small in number. Through data analysis of several battlefields, General Grievous can be sure that the total number of battleships of the Inquisition is less than 300!

And every time the Inquisition is dispatched, it is a concentrated attack and leaves after the battle. Coupled with the powerful battleships of the Inquisition, it gives people an illusion of invincibility. But General Grievous keenly discovered the weakness of the Inquisition, which is that their number is limited after all!

In response to this weakness, General Grievous designed such a comprehensive tactic. This tactic itself is also very simple, that is, to gather all the fleets of the Independent Federation and attack at the same time to launch a comprehensive and thorough attack on the galaxy of the Galactic Republic in front of them!

This is equivalent to putting all your chips on the gambling table at once!

Although it is said to be put on, in fact, General Grievous feels that the chances of winning are very high.

The reason is very simple. The soldiers used by the Independent Federation are all robots, which can be manufactured around the clock. Millions of robot armies can be easily manufactured. If they are lost, they are lost. It is not a big deal. But on the other hand, if they can seize the weakness of the Inquisition and invade these galaxies at the same time, even if there is a galaxy that the Inquisition has not taken into account, they will launch millions of robot armies to the planets of that galaxy in the shortest time.

At that time, it will see how the Inquisition will deal with the robot armies that have occupied the planets! It can even take advantage of the weakness of the Inquisition's human supremacy, hold the residents of that planet hostage, and force the Inquisition to surrender!

Thinking of this, General Grievous looked proud.

Everything is under control, this is a sure win!
