The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

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 smoothed his curly hair casually and said: "The two Empire-class Star Destroyers are in good condition, almost as if they had just left the factory. However, according to the records on the battleships, they have experienced more than 20 battles. A meritorious battleship... It’s very strange. The ‘donor’ you told me about is very clever. I think he is at least an 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 Dodenna smiled.

"That's enough. We can't let this risk expand." Padmé said: "Now that these two Imperial-class Star Destroyers can be used and the identification codes are no problem, your mission can begin. The current No. 1 I will send you the instructions from the 14th Army Governor Uloda. From today on, you will be the commander of the reinforcements that Uloda personally ordered. "

"I understand, I will take care of it." Major General Jane Dodenner smiled, gave a military salute, and ended the communication.

Next, Padmé Amidala conducted several more communications to arrange all aspects of the plan. If a third party saw her communication list at this time, they would definitely be shocked.

Because the people Padmé was contacting at this time involved a series of high-ranking and powerful beings such as the Galactic Empire Council, the army, administrative agencies, local officials, etc.! It’s no wonder that she has almost magical powers and knows everything about the Galactic Empire. It’s because she has the support of these enlightened officials and military 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 Parliament, and a large number of members were willing to stand on her side. The combination of many factors allowed her to use many connections to weave a huge network to connect the Galactic Empire. shrouded in it.

Of course, Palpatine's extremely brutal behavior is also the biggest contributor to Padmé Amidala's influence.

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

…

For the Galactic Empire, starting from the next day, the situation on the planet Rylos was like a wild horse running wild, heading straight in a completely uncontrollable direction.

First, Governor Uloda, who was originally responsible for rebuilding the 14th Army of the Empire, was impeached by opposition members such as Bail Organa. The opposition members directly submitted a large amount of evidence, clearly pointing out that Uloda had misappropriated a large amount of money originally used to rebuild the 14th Army. The army's funds are used to line their own pockets.

What's even more unacceptable is that Uloda actually has contact with several interstellar pirates. After the 14th Army is rebuilt, he plans to use these pirates to support the pirates' self-respect, improve the status of the 14th Army, and give his own power bigger.

Such a conclusive accusation forced Uroda to leave the planet Rylos, the headquarters of the 14th Army, and go to the Empire Center (formerly the planet Coruscant) to attend a meeting.

But until the impeachment proceedings are completed, Uloda will still be the governor of the 14th Army. However, the worst part is that because the evidence against him is very conclusive, Uloda must devote himself wholeheartedly to dealing with this crisis that is related to his entire political career during this period.

What's even better is that Uloda seems to have the support of some members of Congress led by Mon Mothma. They continue to help Uloda clear his name and confront Bail Organa's opposition members tit for tat. Impeachment, which should have been a certainty, is further delayed.

Wu Luoda never imagined that the pirates who came to discuss cooperation at that time were actually members of the rebel army. They had always robbed official supply ships of the Galactic Empire, but they did not rob private merchant ships. But for the Galactic Empire, there seems to be no difference between the two. They are both pirates anyway.

While Uloda was struggling in the center of the empire, two Night Watch-class frigates that were going to the planet Rylos to strengthen their mobile patrols according to the original plan were intercepted near the planet Tythe. What intercepted them was a formation of two Imperial-class Star Destroyers commanded by Imperial Rear Admiral Jan Dodenner.

Major General Jan Dodenner directly presented the instructions from the 14th Army Governor Uloda, requesting to take over the two Night Watch-class frigates. Although the commanders of the two frigates were a little confused, it was impossible to go to Governor Uloda for confirmation now, and since the two Empire-class Star Destroyers were actually here, they still chose to believe it.

Then, the two Night Watch-class frigates were immediately replaced - Jan Dodenner simply requested a meeting and boarded the battleship. A group of extremely elite rebel soldiers wearing Imperial Navy uniforms. In ten minutes, the two frigates were completely occupied.

So at this time, Jan Dodenner had two Imperial-class Star Destroyers and two Nightwatch-class frigates under his command, and he also had real orders from the frigate commander.

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

If the 14th Army had been rebuilt and the army and fleet were assigned, then the adjutant could completely ignore a small fleet. But now, the 14th Army has just resumed its numbering, and their governor is still guilty. Under such circumstances, the adjutant naturally dared not have any thoughts about Jane Dodenna, the fleet commander who had just been transferred from the center of the Empire.

The current 14th Army is completely in chaos, lacking unified command, and leaderless. And Jane Dodenna also struck while the iron was hot. He showed his power in the meeting, put on airs and scolded the original commander, and then demanded that all warships be immediately integrated and reorganized.

In fact, in this matter, the two Imperial-class star destroyers led by Major General Dodenna played the most critical role. Because if he only led two Victory-class or two Aquitens-class, his words would not be very convincing.

But now the strength of the two Imperial-class Star Destroyers and two Nightwatch-class frigates he brought is almost the same as the original garrison fleet of the planet Ryloth. Now he has been directly appointed by the Imperial Center, and the appointment is signed by Governor Uloda, so the commander of the garrison fleet did not have much doubt and accepted the reorganization.

What does reorganization mean? As a reminder, there were also two Imperial-class Star Destroyers in the original garrison fleet, but the marines on these two Imperial-class ships are now stationed on the surface of the planet. But the two Imperial-class Star Destroyers brought by Major General Jane Dodenna are fully staffed!

Two whole legions, 18,000 rebel soldiers!

When reorganizing and reorganizing, the crews of both sides will also be reorganized. So facing 18,000 elite rebel soldiers, the entire garrison fleet did not fire a shot and directly changed its owner!

At the same time, on the surface of the planet Ryloth, 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 nowhere, attacked the municipal centers of various cities, and arrested imperial officials.

However, the slogans of the uprising raised by these Twi'lek rebels were unexpected. They claimed that they revolted in support of the planetary governor Uloda! They demanded that the Galactic Empire immediately withdraw all charges against Uloda and release Uloda back to the planet Rylos!
