1183. Determined gambling
"This thing... must be THOR!" Lux-Bontri quickly flipped through the computer data of his mother Mina-Bontri, but Mina is Onderon's Council Representative after all. The data saved in her terminal can be said to involve many aspects.
But Lux did not give up because of this. Although he didn't have much time to go to the Rebel Alliance, within the limited time, several computer experts at the Rebel Alliance also taught him a lot of knowledge in this area. Even sometimes Jedi Knight named Anakin-Skywalker is teaching him.
Speaking of which, these two Jedi Knight also made Lux-Bontri look at Jedi Knight with admiration, because in Confederacy of Independent Systems's propaganda, Jedi Knight has the image of being bloodthirsty and killing, using his powerful power to bully the weak, and being an accomplice of the Galactic Republic exploiting class.
Lux is 18 years old this year. He was only 6 years old when Separatists became popular 12 or 3 years ago. Naturally, such an inherent impression was formed in his mind.
But during several contacts with Ahsoka-Tano, Lux saw many different things about Jedi apprentice, who was almost the same age as him. Coupled with his later contact with Anakin-Skywalker, he also had a good impression of the extremely powerful Jedi Knight.
In his mind, there is almost nothing that Anakin-Skywalker cannot do, and he can always create miracles. What's even more amazing is that he is actually an excellent mechanical expert and computer expert. Lux used to think that Jedi Knight was just a group of mystics wielding Lightsaber.
He began to use some of the knowledge he had learned to classify and search the data in his mother's computer, and found clues from other seemingly irrelevant information.
Sure enough, he found another message!
A week ago, Onderon tried to introduce two J-1 Proton Cannon from the Technological Alliance, saying that they were prepared for weapons testing. But the Technological Alliance foreman Watto-Tambo rejected the proposal and ridiculed the Onderon representatives at the negotiating table.
Later, with the help of Trade Federation, Onderon purchased two J-1 Proton Cannon at a premium much higher than the market price. This incident also made Mina-Bontri very angry. She believed that these businessmen did not consider the overall situation in order to make money. But at the same time, Mina-Bontri also had some doubts. Why did Onderon need to use J-1 Proton Cannon to conduct experiments?
These questions were recorded in her personal notebook.
Not only that, Lux also found more information. Tyran Heavy Industries recently had an engineer team come to Onderon with an unknown mission. And it stands to reason that people from Tyran Heavy Industries will usually go directly to Dukson Satellite, because that is where the shipyard of Behemoth-class battlecruiser is located, but this team of engineers always stays at Iziz.
Lux later found a lot of surrounding information about driver training, the import of Hellfire air-to-surface missile, the assembly of particle accelerators, etc. When the sky was dim, he looked at the information he had compiled and nodded with satisfaction.
The next day, Lux-Bontri always wanted to find an opportunity to go out and connect with the Rebel Alliance, but his mother Mina-Bontri kept a close eye on him. Although he was anxious, he had to wait at home.
However, the turnaround came quickly. That night, Mina-Bontri received a notice asking her to go to Unifar Temple immediately to attend an emergency meeting.
Although Mina-Bontri had her doubts, this was an order signed by Planet Regent Sanji-Rush herself, so she had no choice but to dress up and prepare to participate. Before leaving, she called Lux over and told her, "Although I don't know what to say in this emergency meeting, I guess it won't last too long. I should be able to come back before dawn. You go to bed early and rest. I have arranged cultural classes for you tomorrow and study politics and economics. Maybe after this round of classes, you will understand what your previous views are."
"Okay, I'm going to bed now." Lux's heart had already flown to the Rebel Alliance's side, and he answered absentmindedly.
Mina-Bontri wanted to say something else, but when she saw his nonchalant look, she shook her head, picked up her briefcase and walked out quickly. Outside the door, the bodyguard and driver were already waiting, and soon her car disappeared into the night.
Lux returned to the room and waited patiently for another 20 minutes. After confirming that his mother would not come back, he walked out and said to the robot butler, "You, go and prepare some midnight snacks for me!"
"Yes." The charging robot butler immediately agreed and walked towards the kitchen.
The moment it turned around, Lux walked up and pressed the emergency shutdown button on the back of the butler's head. The robot butler immediately stopped all operations.
Then he ran out of the back door, followed the route planned for him by Suo-Gerrera and the Rebel Alliance warriors to avoid surveillance, found a hover motorcycle in an inconspicuous place, and left without a trace.
"... a giant war machine, at least 20 meters in height, requires a driver. The test content is related to J-1 Proton Cannon and Hellfire air-to-surface missile?" At the secret base of the Rebel Alliance In the middle, Suo-Gerrera, Stila-Gerrera and others looked at the information sent by Lux-Bontri and frowned.
"It looks like this is a large anti-air weapon? Is it a spaceship?" Suo-Gerrera was a little confused.
"No, if it is a spaceship, the test method will not be like this. This should be a ground weapon." Stila-Gerrera said, "And Tyran Heavy Industries actually sent a whole team of engineers and experts over. It seems that they take this very seriously."
"It's better to pay attention!" Suo-Gerrera said with a sneer, "The more they pay attention to this thing, the greater the sensation will be when we destroy it! As long as we can destroy this THOR, our reputation will be unparalleled! More like-minded people will join our team!"
"But such a huge war machine must be the core of Sanji-Rush's recent work, and the surrounding protection must be of no small importance. If we really want to attack it, we may suffer heavy losses..." Stila-Gerrera said with concern.
"When I decided to embark on this road of fighting for freedom, I had already made up my mind to face death and sacrifice!" Suo-Gerrera said loudly.
Stila shook his head and said, "The problem now is that even with the intelligence obtained by Lux, our knowledge of this THOR is still very limited. This is different from our previous operations."
But Suo-Gerrera couldn't listen to it at all. He waved his hand and said, "That's right! If information about such a secret war machine project is so easy to get, then there's something wrong!"
"But the problem is that we got this information, this secret war machine project." Stila retorted.
"But none of the other Rebel Alliance brothers are the mother of planet Council Representative." Lux-Bontri were eager to prove their worth and also argued.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Suo-Gerrera said loudly, "Didn't you always say that the people are afraid? So this time, I will tell them, don't be afraid! Because, on Onderon, we can do anything! We are the real masters of Onderon!!"
"You have been blinded by this gamble! Suo!" Stila said angrily.
"If we all look forward and backward like you, worrying today about civilians being affected and tomorrow worrying about the enemy being too powerful, when will our great cause be achieved? You just watch every opportunity slip away from your eyes, while you are here to care about the gains and losses of some kittens and puppies?" asked Suo-Gerrera.
"That's because we are fighting Separatists, a powerful robot army!" Stila was already furious, and her eyes were almost on fire.
"I have notified the surrounding branches, and they will come for reinforcements. When the time comes, we will work together to destroy the secret weapon! By then, we will have the support of the people on the entire planet!" Suo-Gerrera said.
Stila was shocked, "Are you crazy? We have agreed long ago that branch-level transfers should be decided by all of us through discussion! But you issued orders to those branches without authorization? Who gave you this power?!"
"I have no power, only belief! The belief that I will win!!" Suo-Gerrera said proudly, "I will let my belief lead everyone to victory!"
Stila gritted his teeth and 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." Suo-Gerrera just repeated this sentence.
On the other side, as consultants and instructors, Anakin-Skywalker and Ahsoka-Tano watched the quarrel between the black brothers and sisters, but did not say anything to stop it.
Jedi Knight During the uprising that occurred in Onderon, we should reduce our sense of existence as much as possible, so as to create an atmosphere in which the people of the planet resisted and chose to return to Galactic Republic.
After the counterattack began, Galactic Republic's natural army suffered defeats on many planets, so they adjusted their strategy and adopted this method of triggering internal uprisings to subvert the planet in places like Onderon, where the ideas against Separatists are widespread.
The advantage of this is that Galactic Republic himself does not need to spend a single soldier, does not need to invade directly, and does not need to bear the risk of launching military operations to reunite those planets.
Of course, the disadvantage is that there are not many planets with such a public opinion base. At the same time, such an action is time-consuming and is not nearly as fast as directly sending troops to occupy it.
For Onderon, Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command even has some extravagant hopes that this internal uprising will allow them to completely take over the Behemoth-class battlecruiser production line on this planet.
Whether you can do it or not is one thing, but first you have to dare to think.
Just like the current cable-Gerrera...
"Zo-Gerrera is completely addicted to this gamble. This 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, Rebel Alliance has proven that they can act independently, and we have also rigorously trained their soldiers. Even if they cannot compare with Clone Trooper, it is more than enough compared to a small number of robots... So we should let them make their own decisions."
"Do you also support Suo-Gerrera's approach? It's obvious that 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 among the Force."
"Then why are you still...?" Ahsoka-Tano was a little surprised.
"We recently secretly shipped a batch of weapons to the Rebel Alliance. These weapons have not been consumed in recent operations, so Rebel Alliance is now at its peak strength. And... Separatists's secret weapon also makes me very concerned. Do you still remember the time we destroyed their super tank in Geonosis?" Anakin said.
Ahsoka-Tano frowned, "Indeed, those three super tank prototypes are almost impossible to destroy. It's hard to imagine how much damage they will cause us once they are mass-produced and put into the battlefield in large numbers."
"So, this is what I'm worried about..." Anakin-Skywalker looked at Suo-Gerrera over there with a serious expression, and said, "At least I agree with one of his sentences - when we choose to fight, we have actually chosen to face the greatest danger."
"But master..."
"You should know what choice I would make if it were me."
"But they are just ordinary people..."
"So this time, we will directly help them!" Anakin-Skywalker said decisively, "No matter what conspiracy or trap there is, we will completely crush it!!"
At the same time, Onderon Capital City Aiziz, central Yolarn Plaza, Unifar Temple.
Mina-Bontri 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 there was a meeting at all.
Could it be a small-scale secret meeting? Mina thought in his heart.
Soon, she was led by the waiter to the throne room, only to see Planet Regent Sanji-Rush, Supreme Military Commander Akhenaten-Tandin already waiting here, and there was a robot standing behind them?
Mina-Bontri frowned. The shape of the font sensor on the head of this robot was similar to T-series tactical robot in the Confederacy of Independent Systems army, but in terms of overall shape, this robot looked more majestic, like a real general.
Moreover, this robot has been standing there with its hands behind its back, as steady as a mountain. It is hard to imagine that a program-controlled Tin Man can produce such a feeling.
Mina-Bontri also discovered that besides himself, there were two other people here, namely planet Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Agriculture.
What kind of meeting do these unrelated departments want to have together? Mina-Bontri has more doubts in his heart.
At this time, Sanji-Rush spoke, "Welcome, Mina-Senator Bonteri. Come, let me introduce, this is General Kalani." He pointed to the robot behind him.
"Are you Kalani? The person who sent me the wrong message?" Mina-Bontri suddenly remembered the message sent to the wrong person a few days ago.
"I'm very sorry, Codename H 7-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.
