1744.The Fall of Liberalism (final)
19BBY, April 23.
Three days have passed since April 20, known as "Bloody Celebration Day"...
In three days, Modell Sector has undergone almost earth-shaking changes. The originally peaceful and peaceful life was replaced by the terrible white terror. Sector Governor Volgograd-Kanidi was like a different person, commanding a large number of troops and combat robots to conduct a large-scale cleaning operation within the entire star region.
The original public impression of Governor Kanidi was that he was approachable, affable, and at the same time a man of great talent and great ambition. He can squat next to the pioneer land and eat lunch with the workers, or he can lead an army of millions to fight Galactic Republic to the death.
He led the immigrants in the star area to build Modell Sector bit by bit, open up wasteland and defeat foreign enemies. It can be said that his efforts are indispensable for the development of Modell Sector to this day. It can even be said that Modell Sector can develop so rapidly because of the existence of Governor Kanidi.
Almost everyone thinks that Governor Kanidi is Modell Sector's own, and he seems to have never expressed his position on the issue of self-control in the star sector. Therefore, almost everyone believed that Governor Kanidi acquiesced to the autonomy of the sector, but his position prevented him from expressing his position publicly.
Therefore, those liberals believe that once the time comes, Governor Kanidi will definitely follow the general trend and support star district autonomy.
However, they thought wrong...
Volgograd-Kanidi This person has a huge flaw in his character. He is indecisive on many issues. Sometimes he would rather be an ostrich and bury his head and pretend not to see it than face those issues directly. But as a soldier, even before boarding the mothership, he was a high-ranking military commander, Volgograd-Kanidi, but he was very clear on the big issues of right and wrong.
In other words, when he is forced into a desperate situation, Kanidi will burst out with very powerful power.
Tang Xiao actually didn't expect this level at first. He just felt that Kanidi was too decadent and should be pushed hard. At that time, Fourth Civilization was just starting out, and there was no way to let a Master Class character like him, who rarely met the conditions, watch the show, so he was forced to do this and that.
Later, I discovered that this trick seemed to work well, so Tang Xiao's hiring strategy for Kanidi was to force him. And Kanidi did not disappoint Tang Xiao...
When he was forced to panic, he could even close Planetary Shield and directly let Republic army log in to Annaj Planet. He could also actively expose the channel coordinates and let Republic fleet raid Dawn Star Planet. This kind of thing that other people couldn't even think of, he did it with ease, and finally achieved a brilliant victory.
And this time, the same is true.
Those who want to seek independence for the sector, including He Yuan and Jin Chen, see Kanidi as the indecisive Kanidi. But what Tang Xiao saw in his eyes was a wise and decisive Kanidi!
"Bloody Celebration Day" is the bloody result of this misplaced judgment!
Tens of thousands of people were killed on the spot, millions of people were injured, and more than five million people were arrested! This is the answer sheet Volgograd-Kanidi gave to the people of Modell Sector in "Bloody Celebration Day".
These bloody figures tell the truth to everyone in Modell Sector who fantasizes about star district autonomy. Wanting autonomy will always be just a dream.
Now, this great purge continues. The mandatory Population Census and counter-insurgent raids have made the people of the entire sector panic and shrouded in terror.
However, it is precisely because of such a big purge that some forces behind the scenes have surfaced.
In fact, as a saying goes, the so-called revolution is a combination of a few careerists and the majority of emotional people. This sentence is actually full of loopholes, but in the current situation of Modell Sector, it is very appropriate.
In this galaxy, liberal thought does indeed exist, and it is also a very popular thought. However, it was only in Modell Sector that the sector autonomy revolution broke out. In this process, the introduction of a large number of immigrants was certainly one of the main reasons, but there was still a deeply hidden factor, which was the powerful factions that emerged during the construction of the sector.
For example, He Yuan, who was previously the adjutant of Governor Canidi and had an overview of the internal affairs of the sector, and Jin Chen, who initially followed Canidi to fight everywhere and gradually grew and was promoted to the level of lieutenant general... Once the Model sector becomes autonomous, He Yuan is likely to be the Prime Minister of the new government of the sector, and Jin Chen is likely to be the Minister of Defense!
This is a leap in status!
So there is a reason why these people support sector autonomy. Star district autonomy can bring them substantial benefits!
Another example is that some mine owners or factory owners, if the star district is not autonomous, then they provide raw materials to Duchy of Dawn, basically at cost price, and the money they make is relatively small. If it is after autonomy, then they can negotiate business with Duchy of Dawn on an equal footing, and even raise prices for some products that are in short supply! The profit difference between this is also one in the sky and one on the earth!
After having such a reason, when they see the liberal ideas produced in Modell Sector, they will naturally secretly add fuel to the flames and let the liberal ideas spread widely.
In the eyes of the indecisive Volgograd-Kanidi, these things are just the political leanings of these people and personal ideas that should be respected. He did not expect that it was because these people themselves could benefit from sector autonomy.
By the time he gradually realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
As a result, he once naively thought that it might be okay if the status quo was maintained. This is a typical ostrich mentality-as long as something doesn't happen in front of me, then I can pretend it doesn't exist.
If Tang Xiao hadn't forced him, he really wouldn't have made it this far. This is the reason why Tang Xiao said before that he didn't understand politics at all.
But just because he is indecisive does not mean that he is disloyal to Tang Xiao and Fourth Civilization. After being forced to a dead end, he took the bloodiest step just as Tang Xiao expected!
During this great purge, Volgograd-Kanidi, with the Beast Legion as the core, arrested a large number of liberals and rioting people. And Das-Lilim took Ghost Agent, causing a bloody storm among those behind the scenes in question!
He Yuan and Jin Chen were not killed for their own reasons, but Das-Lilim was never so polite to others! In just three days, hundreds of senior officials, entrepreneurs, and powerful figures were assassinated, with extremely bloody methods. In many places, not even a single person was left alive!
And on the third day, in an industrial zone in Annaj Planet, someone finally discovered hundreds of bodies dead inside! And the corpse of Semirians entrepreneur Pikara was even rotting and smelly!
Such a scene is shocking to everyone!
Frontal suppression and arrests, coupled with covert kidnappings and assassinations, quickly suppressed Modell Sector's apparent liberal thoughts. For a time, even Modell Sector every household hung the Duchy of Dawn national flag at the door to express their loyalty.
The interrogation of the more than 5 million criminals who were arrested also began. Only a handful of these people could be released, and the others were all imprisoned on Sonell Planet to work as farmers. These people are held together to prevent them from coming into contact with other prisoners.
These people became Duchy of Dawn's first political prisoners, and the prison area where they were located also became Duchy of Dawn's first concentration camp in a sense.
However, the liberal movement on the surface has been suppressed, but after all, people's hearts are separated from each other, and this trend of thought cannot be completely eradicated. In the future, the suppression work will continue.
At the same time, the existing policies of Modell Sector also need to be adjusted. Strengthen education, strengthen publicity, and eliminate the penetration of liberal ideas into Modell Sector as much as possible.
19BBY, April 24th. Governor of Modell Sector Volgograd-Kanidi officially sent a message to Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao - the Modell Sector rebellion has been eliminated and all counter-rebels have been arrested. From now on, Modell Sector will be reborn with a new attitude. Long live Duchy of Dawn, long live Grand Duke of Dawn!
Tang Xiao threw the communicator aside and said, "Kanidi did not let me down after all. In three days, Modell Sector's fire of autonomy was calmed down."
"It can only be said that the price is still very high. Statistics have come out today. In at least the next year, Modell Sector's contribution to us will be reduced by at least 40%. And society will not be as stable as before..." Francis-Underwood shook his head and said.
In fact, although he does not support Modell Sector's autonomy, he still thinks that Kanidi's actions this time went too far.
"The so-called stability of Modell Sector was based on the people's belief that one day they would be separated from Duchy of Dawn autonomy." Prime Minister of the Cabinet Helmut-Zemo said sadly, "And this kind of stability is the greatest instability for Duchy of Dawn."
"Don't worry about the production capacity." Chief Ministry of the Interior said, "Now the interstellar shipyard and various factories relocated from Rendili system have begun to partially start construction. In the next few years, we will continue to enjoy the demographic dividend and industrial dividend from Rendili system. This benefit is enough for us to ignore the decline in production capacity of Modell Sector and the Yago-Dur system."
"The problem of Modell Sector must be solved, and we will soon start the exploration work of Unknown Regions. At that time, I don't want Modell Sector to hold us back." Tang Xiao said, "The new population must be adequately educated before they can be allowed to live in Modell Sector."
"I already have a plan for this." Francis-Underwood said, "A new city can be built on every planet in Modell Sector. All new immigrants must live in this city for half a year before they are assigned to other planets in the star region. In these cities, we can focus on the spiritual civilization education of the residents."
"Yes. You can discuss a specific plan and submit it to me. Duchy of Dawn will allocate funds from the central government to build these new cities." Tang Xiao nodded, "That's it for Modell Sector. Are there any other questions?"
"Grand Duke, are this Modell Sector's autonomous trend and the Rebel Alliance you once said would appear the same thing?" A young voice suddenly came.
Everyone turned around, only to find a young man in his early 30s raising his hand and saying.
"You are just an intern, majoring in mathematics, Hari Seldon. It is an honor to be able to sit in on such an occasion. But your speech should not become the content of our meeting." Francis-Underwood looked at the young man and said coldly.
"It doesn't matter, this is also one of the important things." Tang Xiao waved his hand and said, "What I can tell you is that the two are the same thing, but they can also be said to be different."
The young man named Hari Seldon nodded, looking like he was all ears.
"You told me before that you wanted to visit the main areas of the Milky Way and explore the people's sentiments in those areas. It has been six months, what have you gained?" Tang Xiao seemed to have great patience with this young man, he asked in return.
"Liberalism is a ubiquitous thought. Its root is Galactic Republic, a trend of thought that emerged due to the weakening of central power during more than a thousand years of peace. For those remote planets, without In the absence of the benefits of the Galactic Republic central authority, it is natural for them to choose to become independent and get rid of their obligations to Galactic Republic. "Hari Seldon spoke very methodically, not very fast, but every word was carefully thought out.
Tang Xiao nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"During these six months, I analyzed samples of more than 7,000 people I visited. According to my judgment, liberalism will definitely have an impact on us Duchy of Dawn in the future. It can even be said that this is second only to The threat of the Galactic Empire, because it will reduce our ability to control the local area," Harry Seldon said, "It's just that I didn't expect it to explode so quickly in Modell Sector, and it was very different from the model I calculated."
"What's the difference?" Tang Xiao asked.
"In Modell Sector, those liberals lack a program of action, don't know their ultimate goal, and don't know what they should do. They only know that they want sector autonomy, but they don't know what to do to achieve it. Moreover, their actions are very reckless, compared to the galaxy For liberals in other places, they are so high-profile that they almost have this matter written on their faces. "So I am wondering, is there a difference between the two? And what kind of situation do we Duchy of Dawn need to face in the future?"
