The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1432. Other Fronts (Part 1)

Upon hearing this, Bail Organa could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, "Let those liberated planets pay? Maybe they used to be a member of the Separatists, but after the battle, they have also begun to fight Into the scope of the Galactic Republic! If they are burdened with heavy debts at this time, they will undoubtedly rebel again!"

"Then what do you mean, let the planets in the inner circle that have always been loyal to the Galactic Republic bear the burden of this increasingly heavy war, while those planets in the outer ring that once stood on our hostile side only need to sit on a comfortable sofa and watch to watch the war advance, and then wait for us to deliver victory to their lips?" Wilhuff-Tarkin said sarcastically.

"They have to pay the price for the war, but they definitely shouldn't use such a method of exhausting their wealth! This will only plunge the newly stabilized occupied area into chaos again!" Bail Organa argued.

"But didn't Congressman Amidala say that just now? Our finances have already exceeded the red line. Under such circumstances, the Galactic Republic should definitely not be responsible for this huge sum of money, right?" Tarkin said. Said lightly.

Speaking of this, those councilors started to clamor one after another, especially the councilors from the planets in the inner ring and inner circle were making a lot of noise. This matter is related to their direct interests. Of course they don't want to pay, and of course they hope to win the war without paying money.

After all, the war has been going on so far, and the possible benefits after the end of the war are already on the surface—to completely plunder the outer ring planet and at least half of the middle ring planet in the form of war reparations!

At this time, Schiff Palpatine stood up again, he raised his hands to signal the surrounding congressmen to be quiet, and then said: "The battle on Planet Onderon has shown us one thing - there is no long-term systematic It is very difficult for ordinary soldiers trained in modernization to fight against the separatist robot army. But now we don't have so much time to train such a powerful army, we must end this war in a short time. Even if, There are good reasons for Patty's use of clone troopers."

He nodded in the direction of the Alcanian clone master, and said: "The Spati clone soldiers may not be as elite and stable as the Kamino clone soldiers, but they are sufficient in number, low in cost, and possess wisdom. They can respond instantly to complex battlefield environments. In this regard, they can still maintain a certain advantage in the face of robot troops."

The Alcanian clone master also added: "Yes, Spati clone soldiers only have a shelf life of about one year. After one year, they will enter a rapid aging period and die naturally. So, even if they can Surviving the brutal war will not create more burdens for the Republic. It is a very convenient tool of war."

"Then, let's discuss and vote on this bill." Schiff Palpatine said with a smile.

...

This war has been going on for too long, but it seems that there is still no sign of ending.

In May of 20BBY, ​​if calculated by the number of battlefields that broke out at the same time, the number of battles that broke out was the largest when the war broke out for more than two years.

In the southern direction of the galaxy, the Galactic Republic counterattack has made a lot of progress. In the direction of this battlefield, it is mainly the outer control area of ​​the Technology Alliance and the Retail Industry Alliance. However, after the Galactic Republic launched a counterattack, the Technology Alliance's army was almost collapsed, and quickly lost a large area of ​​​​occupation.

Around mid-May, the Galactic Republic re-liberated the planet Rynoth, freeing the Twi'leks from the rule of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

Freed from the cruel exploitation and plunder of the Techno Union, the Twi'leks immediately declared to join the Galactic Republic and declared war on the Confederacy of Independent Galaxies.

The main reason why the Twi'leks were able to do this was because Orn Free-Ta, a member of their planet, had a very high political reputation and was now a loyal lackey of Speaker Sheev Palpatine. Therefore, under his management, the planet Reynolds was able to get rid of the so-called war indemnity, and invested his meager income in the reconstruction of his homeland.

So, they were lucky.

In the second week after the liberation of the planet Reinoth, Speaker Palpatine announced the re-establishment of the 14th Army of the Galactic Republic.

This Legion, which was previously destroyed by the Technological Union's capture of the capital planet Reynolds, once again stood in the middle of the Milky Way, defending the southeast direction for the Galactic Republic.

But now, the 14th Army is still an empty shelf. First, there is no army and second, there is no fleet. It just has an administrative organization. But the reconstruction of the 14th Army is a very dangerous signal for the Federation of Independent Galaxy.

Among the jurisdictions divided by the 14th Army, there are important strategic places such as the planet Geonosis, the planet Christofsis, and the planet Hyperion. Among them, the planet Geonosis and the planet Hypori are one of the largest robot factories in the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, and the crystal planet Christophsis is also related to the output of Kyber crystals and a large source of financial income.

But now, these important planets are already under the vanguard of the Galactic Republic and may be attacked at any time.

The only good news is that there is still a Hutt space between the 14th Army and the main jurisdiction of the Galactic Republic, and the offensive and defensive battles of those key planets are no more than that of the planet Leinoth, and a large-scale fleet must be mobilized to besiege it. possible. However, the barrier of the Hutt space made the mobilization of the Galactic Republic's large-scale fleet difficult.

But even so, these planets have also begun active military preparations, ready to deal with the invasion of the Galactic Republic at any time.

Another direction, the region in the northeast of the Milky Way.

The Republic has launched a fierce battle with the Federation of Independent Galaxies on the planet Kashyyyk, and the Wookiees on the planet Kashyyyk have also erupted in uprisings to cooperate with the Republic's actions.

The main fleet of General Grievous continued to hide on the planet Salukami, and continued to maintain a state of "fleet existence"-as long as the fleet in his hands did not take the initiative to attack, there would be no way for the galaxy to find a decisive battle for the fleet. The Republic will always be afraid of the existence of his fleet, so it will not be able to completely let go.

This posture was completely different from General Grievous' aggressive attack method before.

However, as the Fourth Army of the Republic lost its main fleet and main army on the two battlefields of the planet Semirs and the planet Onderon, the Galactic Republic mainly used the local defense fleet that was previously collected in this direction. I really dare not confront Grievous's main fleet.

This direction has formed a stalemate.
