The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

"This thing... must be THOR!" Lux Bontry quickly flipped through the computer data of his mother Mina Bontry, but Mina was after all the representative of the planet Onderon, and her terminal saved The data can be said to involve all aspects, very much.

But Lukes didn't give up because of this. Although he didn't have much time to go to the rebel army, in the limited time, several computer experts from the rebel army also taught him a lot of knowledge in this area. Even the Jedi called Anakin Skywalker was teaching him sometimes.

Speaking of which, these two Jedi Knights also made Lukes Bontry look at the Jedi Knights with admiration, because in the propaganda of the Confederation of Independent Galaxy, the Jedi Knights are bloodthirsty and easy to kill, using their own powerful strength to bully the weak, It is the image of an accomplice of the exploiting class of the Galactic Republic.

Lukes is 18 years old this year. He was only 6 years old when separatism began to prevail 12 or 3 years ago, and this stereotype was naturally formed in his mind.

But during several contacts with Ahsoka Tano, Lukes saw many differences in this Jedi apprentice who was about the same age as him. Coupled with his later contact with Anakin Skywalker, he also had a good impression of this extremely powerful Jedi Knight.

In his mind, there is almost nothing Anakin Skywalker can't do, he can always perform miracles. And what's even more powerful is that he is actually a very good mechanical expert and computer expert. Lukes had always thought that the Jedi Knights were a group of mystics wielding lightsabers.

He began to use some of the knowledge he had learned to classify and retrieve the data in his mother's computer, and found clues from other seemingly irrelevant information.

Sure enough, he found another message!

Planet Onderon tried to introduce two J-1 proton cannons from the Technology Union a week ago, saying that they were preparing for weapon testing. But Techno Union Foreman Walter Tambor rejected the proposal and taunted the representatives of Planet Onderon at the negotiating table.

Later, under the trade alliance's dealings, Ondron Planet purchased two J-1 proton cannons at a premium higher than the market price. This incident also made Mina Bontry very angry. She believed that these businessmen did not take the overall situation into account in order to make money. But at the same time, Mina Bontry also had some doubts. -1 proton cannon for experimentation?

These questions were recorded in her personal notebook.

Not only that, but Lukes also found out more news. Recently, Tyron Heavy Industries had a team of engineers come to Onderon Planet with an unknown mission. And it stands to reason that the people from Tyron Heavy Industries would usually go directly to the Ducson Satellite, because that is where the shipyard of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser is located, but this engineer team has always stayed in Aziz City.

Afterwards, Lukes found a lot of surrounding news about driver training, the import of Hellfire long-range surface-to-air missiles, and the assembly of particle accelerators. When the sky was getting dark, he looked at the information he had compiled and nodded with satisfaction.

...

The next day, Luke Bontry wanted to find an opportunity to go out to join the rebels, but his mother, Mina Bontry, kept a close eye on him. Although he was very anxious, he had to wait at home .

But the turning point came quickly. That night, Mina Bontry was notified to go to the Temple of Unity to attend an emergency meeting immediately.

Although Mina Bontry had doubts, this was an order signed by the regent of the planet, Sanji Rush, so she had no choice but to get dressed immediately and prepare to participate. Before she left, she called Lukes over and said: "Although I don't know what to say in this emergency meeting, I guess it won't take too long. I should be able to come back before dawn. You go to bed early and rest, tomorrow I will do something for you. You arranged a cultural class, and studied politics and economics well, maybe after this round of courses is over, you will understand what your previous views are."

"Okay, I'll go to bed right now." Lukes had already flown to the rebels with his heart, and he answered absent-mindedly.

Mina Bontry wanted to say something, but seeing his indifferent attitude, she shook her head, picked up her briefcase and walked out quickly. Outside the door, bodyguards and drivers were already waiting, and soon her The car disappeared into the night.

Lukes returned to the room and waited patiently for another 20 minutes. After confirming that his mother would not come back, he came out and said to the robot butler, "You, go and help me prepare some supper!"

"Yes." The robot butler who was charging immediately agreed, and then walked towards the kitchen.

The moment it turned around, Lux strode up and pressed the emergency shutdown button on the back of the butler's head, and the robot butler immediately stopped all operations.

Then he ran out through the back door, followed the route planned for him by Saw Gerrera and the rebel fighters to avoid surveillance, found a hoverbike in an inconspicuous place, and left without a trace.

...

"...a giant war machine with a height of at least 20 meters that requires a driver. The test content is related to the J-1 proton cannon and the Hellfire long-range surface-to-air missile?" La Grera and the others looked at the information sent by Lux Bontry and frowned.

"It looks like this is a large anti-air weapon? Could it be a spaceship?" Saw Gerrera was a little puzzled.

"No, if it is a spacecraft, the test method will not be like this. This should be a ground weapon." Stella-Gerella said, "And Tyron Heavy Industries actually sent a whole team of engineers and experts over, it seems They take it very seriously.”

"It's good to pay attention!" So-Gerrera said with a sneer: "The more they attach importance to this thing, the greater the sensation it will cause when we destroy it! As long as we can destroy this THOR, our reputation will be greatly reduced." Incomparable! There will be more like-minded people joining our team!"

"But such a huge war machine must be the core of Sanji-Rush's work recently, and the surrounding protection must be very important. If we really want to attack it, we may suffer losses..." Stella- Gregory said worriedly.

"When I decided to embark on this path of fighting for freedom, I had already made up my mind to face death and sacrifice!" Saw Gerrera said loudly.

Stella shook her head and said, "The problem now is that even with the information obtained by Lukes, our knowledge of this THOR is still very limited. This is different from our previous operations."

But Saw Gerrera couldn't listen to it at all. He waved his hand and said, "That's right! If the information on such a secret war machine project is so easy to get, then there's nothing wrong with it!"

"But the thing is we got this intel, this secret War Machine program," Stella retorted.

"But the other Rebel brothers don't have a mother who is a representative of the planetary council." Luke Bontry was eager to prove his worth, and he also argued.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Saw Gerrera said loudly: "Didn't you always say that the people are afraid? Then this time, I will tell them, don't be afraid! Because, on the planet Onderon, we We can do anything! We are the real masters of Planet Onderon!!"

"You have been blinded by this gambling! Suo!" Stella said angrily.

"If everyone looks forward and backward like you, worrying about civilians being affected today, and worrying about the enemy being too strong tomorrow, when will our great cause be achieved? You are just watching opportunities slipping by before you, but you care about it here. The gains and losses of some kittens and puppies?" Saw Gerrera asked rhetorically.

"That's because we are fighting against separatism and a powerful robot army!" Stella was already panicking, her eyes almost bursting into flames.

"I have already notified the surrounding branches, and they will come for reinforcements. At that time, we will work together to destroy the secret weapon! At that time, we will have the support of the people on the entire planet!" Saw Gerrera said.

Stella was taken aback, "Are you crazy? We have agreed a long time ago that the transfer at the branch level should be decided by all of us! But you issued orders to those branches without authorization? Who gave you this power?!"

"I have no power, only belief! The belief of victory!!" Saw Gerrera said proudly: "I will let my belief lead everyone to victory!"

Gritting her teeth, Stella said, "Among us, there are only brothers! There are no leaders! Every one of us is a brother, and every one of us is a leader!"

"I will win." So - Guerrera just repeated this sentence.

On the other side, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, who were advisors and instructors, watched the quarrel between the black brother and sister, but did not speak out to stop it.

During the uprising that took place on Planet Onderon, the Jedi Knights should minimize their own sense of existence, so as to create an atmosphere in which the planet's own people resisted and chose to return to the Republic.

After the counter-offensive began, the natural person army of the Galactic Republic suffered setbacks on many planets, so they adjusted their strategy, and adopted this method of triggering internal uprisings on the Onderon planet, where the idea of ​​opposing separatism is relatively widespread. way to subvert the planet.

The advantage of this is that the Galactic Republic itself does not need to spend a single soldier, nor does it need to invade directly, let alone take the risk of launching military operations to reunite those planets.

Of course, the disadvantage is that there are not many planets with such a foundation of public opinion. At the same time, such actions are time-consuming, far less quick than directly sending troops to occupy them.

For the planet Onderon, the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic even has some extravagant hopes that this uprising from within will allow them to completely receive the behemoth-class battlecruiser production line on this planet.

Whether it can be done is one thing, but first you have to dare to think.

Just like Saw Gerrera now...

"Saw Gerrera has completely indulged in this gamble, which is not a good thing. I think we should stop them, master." Ahsoka Tano said with a frown.

Anakin Skywalker frowned, "In the past few weeks of operations, the Rebels have proven that they can act independently, and we have also trained their fighters rigorously, even if they cannot be compared with clone soldiers, But it's more than enough for a small number of bots ... so we should let them make their own decisions."

"Do you also support Saw Gerrera's approach? Obviously he is too radical!" Ahsoka Tano said.

Anakin shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't support his approach, and I need to tell you that I have a very bad feeling about the Force."

"Then why are you...?" Ahsoka Tano was a little surprised.

"We recently secretly delivered a batch of weapons to the rebels. These weapons have not been consumed in the last few operations, so the strength of the rebels is now at its peak. And... this secret weapon of separatism also makes me very concerned, Remember the time we destroyed their super tanks on Geonosis?" Anakin said.

Ahsoka Tano frowned, "Indeed, the prototypes of the three super tanks are almost impossible to destroy. It is hard to imagine how much damage they will cause us once mass-produced and put into the battlefield."

"So, that's what I'm worried about..." Anakin Skywalker looked at Saw Gerrera over there with a serious expression, and said, "At least I agree with one of his words-in the moment we choose to fight At that time, in fact, we have already chosen to face the greatest danger.”

"But master..."

"You should know what choice I would make if it were me."

"But they're just ordinary people..."

"So this time, we will directly help them!" Anakin-Skywalker said firmly: "No matter what conspiracy, no matter what trap, we will completely smash it!!"

...

At the same time, Aziz City, the capital of Ondron Planet, the central Yolarn Square, and the Temple of Unity.

Mina Bontry came here in a special car, but when she entered the temple, she found that there were not many people here today, and it didn't look like a meeting was going to be held at all.

Could it be a small secret meeting? Mina thought to herself.

Soon, she came down to the throne room under the leadership of the waiter, only to see Sanji Rush, the regent of the planet, and Akhenath Tandin, the supreme military officer, waiting here, and there was a robot standing behind them?

Mina Bontry frowned. The appearance of the zigzag sensor on the head of this robot is 70% similar to the T-series tactical robot in the Confederacy of the Independent Galaxy, but in terms of overall shape, this robot looks more majestic. Like a real general.

Moreover, this robot has been standing there with its hands behind its back, as stable as Mount Tai. It is hard to imagine that a program-controlled tin woodman can make such a feeling.

Mina Bontry also found that besides herself, there were two other people here, namely the Planetary Minister of Internal Affairs and the Minister of Agriculture.

What kind of meeting do these irrelevant departments want to hold together? Mina Bontry had more doubts.

At this time, Sanji Rush spoke, "Welcome, Senator Mina Bontry. Come on, let me introduce you, this is General Kalani." He pointed to the robot behind him.

"You are Kalani? The one who sent me the wrong message?" Mina Bontry suddenly remembered the message that sent the wrong person a few days ago.

"I'm very sorry, the code name is H7-N9-M4-T4. I have to tell you that the message was not sent to the wrong person..." General Kalani said in that steady voice.
