1391. Retrograde behavior

Onderon, Unifar Temple before, Yolarn Plaza.

In this square where General Kalani once publicly executed Mina-Senator Bonteri, the guillotine was once again erected high. Wearing a red king's costume and holding a scepter, the new king Onderon, Suo-Gerrera, stood proudly on the stage with a cruel smile on his face.

Behind him, stood hundreds of fierce-looking soldiers. These were all like-minded people who had settled in the previous resistance activities.

Without exception, these people all hold great hatred for the current Onderon government, Separatists, and even Galactic Republic. They believe that everyone around them betrayed them, that both sides of this war made them lose everything, and that it was also the incompetence of the former rulers of their planet that made them live like mice.

In short, that is the idea that I am right and the world is wrong.

And when such people gather together and even become the king of the planet, one can imagine what a disaster it will be.

With the support of Wilhuff-Tarkin, Suo-Gerrera immediately secured his position as king, and the first thing he did after taking power was revenge!

General Akhenaten-Tandin was shackled, and two soldiers pushed him down on the guillotine, but he only had a contemptuous smile on his face.

After experiencing four completely different rulers, Ramses-Dundup, Sanji-Rush, General Kalani, and Suo-Gerrera, he has completely seen through it.

"I am trying you for first-degree war crimes! Akhenate Tandin! You have committed an unforgivable crime against the people of the planet Onderon! And now, the sentence given to you is - death penalty!" Saw Gerrera stood on the high platform arrogantly, pointing at Tandin and giving orders.

Tandin sneered, "People? Haha, you actually have the nerve to talk about the word people! Suo-Gerrera, after all, you are just a terrorist, a chess piece that can be abandoned at any time..."

But Suo-Gerrera no longer wanted to hear it. He waved his hand gently, and the cold knife fell, cutting off the second half of General Tandin's words and also cutting off his head.

Also killed at the same time were more than 30 senior generals at all levels of the former Onderon Royal Guard, and more than 70 senior officials from government departments.

Rivers of blood flowed, heads rolled, and almost all Onderon people remained silent.

However this is just the beginning!

Suo-Gerrera promoted all his cronies to positions such as Minister of Defense, Minister of Agriculture, and Council Representative. Completely ignoring that those people may not have even completed universal education, or may not have any professional abilities at all.

For a time, the entire officialdom of Onderon was filled with chaos and chaos, making it impossible to carry out normal government functions. And Suo-Gerrera is a complete anarchist. The reason why he wants to be the king is purely for his own desire for power.

Of course, he still knows very well where his power comes from.

Therefore, Suo-Gerrera is willing to take and ask for all the conditions of Wilhuff-Governor Tarkin. Tarkin wants to build a huge supply base on the planet, including all aspects of ammunition supply, food, medical care, and accommodation, because he has an army of 7 million, and his target is directly at Dexen Satellite, who is still standing upright.

In order to meet the requirements of Governor Tarkin, cable-Gerrera almost vacated Izzy City. He began to implement a huge immigration plan, driving all Izzy City residents to surrounding cities and even shelters, and then handed over the vacated residences to Galactic Republic soldiers.

You know, those 7 million soldiers are already larger than the population of Izzy City in the whole city. Therefore, he also freed up more than 90 hospitals in the city and gave them to Tarkin, but instead refused entry to people from this planet.

Of course, it is impossible for all the aboriginal people of Izzy City to move away. Many people still stayed behind to serve as laborers, waiters, and even prostitutes. Suo-Gerrera recruited a large number of residents to participate in the construction of factories and barracks. He also recruited many workers to clean up the high-rise buildings that blocked the roads that he had previously blown up.

When the Onderon workers dug up the ruins of the building, they saw the corpses that were beyond recognition and looked frightened. They all cried bitterly and were horrified. But they were still coerced by the soldiers of the So-Gerrera regime and picked up tools to clean up the mountains of ruins and debris.

Wilhuff-Tarkin naturally didn't care. He only gave Suo-Gerrera three days and asked Izzy City to be organized into a usable barracks within three days for his army to attack Dexen Satellite.

In the past few days, Galactic Republic soldiers have been stationed in Izzy City. Almost every moment, there is an endless stream of soldiers in gray uniforms carrying Blaster rifle from outside the city into the city.

These soldiers are all ordinary people, not highly disciplined Clone Trooper. It is actually not difficult to predict what will happen when they pour into this city that is completely open to them.

Of course, for now, Galactic Republic soldiers still maintain a certain degree of military discipline. At most, they only occasionally rob some interesting things from local residents. For example, a latest holographic player, a quantum timer, a crystal necklace, etc. Worse things have not happened yet.

But who can guarantee that?

After all, under the current administrative system of Galactic Republic, the reason why these soldiers chose to serve as soldiers means that their family conditions are very average. So when they arrive on another strange planet and look at all the colorful things, can they not be tempted?

The reason why there is not yet is because Commander, headed by Jedi Knight Anakin-Skywalker, still has absolute control over the army.

Anakin-Skywalker Although he was also angry about what was happening, he did not directly go to Governor Tarkin for the theory.

Because he understands that all of this is a last resort and must happen.

With an army of 7 million people, including a large number of fighter jets, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery, it is impossible for such a huge military force to launch an attack directly from a spacecraft. Because the supplies consumed by this army every day are astronomical!

It is impossible to transfer such a huge material demand through spaceships unless they increase the number of transport ships in their hands by another 50 times!

They must have a place with enough space to take off, land and maintain fighter jets, to house the army, to treat the wounded, and to stack and transport hundreds of millions of tons of ammunition supplies.

Anakin-Skywalker had already retreated from the bottom line of this war. He had to watch all this happen, but he had no choice but to help Governor Tarkin and Suo-Gerrera quell the uprisings and riots.

It has been two days since he and Dream Sisters came to Izzy City, but they have not been able to find the whereabouts of Stila-Gerrera at all, let alone the whereabouts of Mask Woman.

It was as if they had evaporated from the air.

But finding it is not easy. The current Izzy City is a complete mess - some people are being forcibly relocated, a large number of soldiers are entering, barracks are being built, ruins are being cleared, and corpses are being burned...

They have no ability to find targets among the tens of millions of people on the move.
