1862.Tang Xiao's Crowbar
Among Palpatine and Galactic Empire, the class divide is even more serious. Even the wealthy families including Inner Rim and Core Worlds began to see huge cracks.
For example, Tagge family of Cassio-Tagge can even have a huge fleet of 5,000 small and medium-sized warships as a private army, while many other former noble families were deprived of everything just because they were considered unreliable by Palpatine.
This deprivation is not a one-time thing, but a knife-cutting, bit by bit.
In the end, they could only hand over their wealth and resources to Palpatine little by little as protection fees, and became the pockets of Sith Lord and Emperor of the Empire.
Only under such naked plunder and exploitation can Galactic Empire have the ability to expand its fleet on a large scale.
Because during the Galactic Republic period, if you want to build a warship, you need to pass the review of Ship Supervision Committee, and then submit the results to Galactic Senate. After the parliament meets and approves, the procurement will be carried out, the cost will be reported to the financial review, and then funds will be allocated for construction.
In this process, it is impossible to count how much exploitation and deception took place. The result is that Galactic Republic's finances are becoming increasingly overwhelmed, and military expenditures are increasing. As a result, at last glance, there are only so many warships that can be built.
And what about the Galactic Empire? Palpatine issued a direct order, and all one hundred warships were put on the production line. Raw materials? Looted at little cost; workers? They are all slaves, just take care of the food and don't starve to death; industrial giant? They are all Palpatine's own people.
That's why Galactic Empire can expand its army unscrupulously. After expanding its army, it further oppresses those exploited planets and collects wealth in a predatory way.
Under such circumstances, all officials, generals, nobles, and companies who are valued by Palpatine all have privileges. The result of their privileges is that they are more unscrupulous in their extortion and expropriation, bringing terror to every planet controlled by the Galactic Empire.
Therefore, the entire Galactic Empire is all about deeds and deeds, and corruption is far more serious than during the Galactic Republic period. However, if during the Galactic Republic period, the entire Inner Rim, Core Worlds, high-level officials, and parliament were corrupt, then in the Galactic Empire, only a small group of the privileged class were corrupt.
In fact, the result can only be darker!
So in the final analysis, Galactic Empire is indeed expanding its military power at a speed that was unimaginable during the Galactic Republic period, but this process has been caused by countless planets paying a heavy price.
And Galactic Empire can only continue to expand its army, because once the army expansion stops, they themselves will die first.
This is a vicious cycle of militarism, and there is no future or hope at all!
Galactic Empire is just like that little Beard, it opened the devil's box and couldn't stop at all. Even if he wants to stop, those privileged people will push him to continue moving towards the Abyss.
From Palpatine's perspective, he doesn't care about this at all. He doesn't care about the life and death of the people in the entire galaxy. He only cares about when he can become One-Man Sith and rule the galaxy.
Galactic Empire has no future? It doesn't matter, just expand the army crazily and wipe out all the enemies. As for what will happen to the Galactic Empire in the future? To die of poverty or starvation? He doesn't care.
In fact, Palpatine himself is the biggest embezzler among the Galactic Empire.
Not only did he obtain huge wealth through corruption and bribery, but he also directly used Galactic Empire's official power to facilitate his own Dark Side research.
Countless human experiments, countless transformations, mutations, and Dark Side erosions.
Das-Sidious's strength is getting stronger and stronger, even expanding to unprecedented levels! If in the previous head-to-head confrontation at Planet Korriban, he was only slightly better than Das-Malthael, and was finally tricked by Malthael's Death Force, now his strength has once again widened the gap between him and Das-Malthael.
The difference between the two of them is that Das-Sidious does not hesitate to kill the goose to get the eggs and fish from the marsh. He only wants to become One-Man Sith himself. But Das-Malthael is solid and down-to-earth. He focuses on the process.
Of course, if Darth-Malthael hadn't foresighted the wave of liberalism that was about to sweep across the galaxy and the power of the Rebel Alliance, he wouldn't have been able to remain so calm in the face of the pressure from Darth-Sidious and Galactic Empire.
As Count Dooku said, Tang Xiao himself does not think he is better than Palpatine. The latter is the most powerful villain, conspirator, and politician in the entire plot of "Star Wars". Before time travel, he was just an ordinary person. Even with this Death Force of unknown origin, he could not imagine that he could compare with such a being.
However, it would be better to return home. Tang Xiao is able to grasp the future direction of the universe. This may seem like a trivial point, but it is actually very important, even more important than the database in the mothership!
Because this is the crowbar that Tang Xiao can use to move the mountain of Palpatine!
With such foresight, Tang Xiao could plan himself to become Das-Pregas's apprentice at the very beginning, inherit his legacy, and then continue to plan for Das-Tenebrus to further learn and grow with this veteran Sith Lord.
And without the careful teachings of these two Sith Lord, Tang Xiao would never have grown into the Archangel of Death who could compete with Palpatine. Without such growth, as an ordinary college student, even if he is given a huge force and a powerful fleet, he will be brought into the ditch in minutes.
In this process, there is no mothership plug-in, only Tang Xiao's own efforts and struggles, as well as the foresight and foresight.
Just as now, Tang Xiao knows that what can defeat Galactic Empire is not an invincible fleet, nor how advanced technology, but the angry people under the perverse actions of Palpatine and Galactic Empire!
Therefore, after he made a separate peace with Palpatine, he was not in a hurry to expand his military strength, nor was he in a hurry to build those powerful battleships in the mothership database. The first thing he did was to digest Rendili Planet, expand his own strength, and at the same time stabilize the rear, so as to prevent Duchy of Dawn from falling apart in the coming uprising storm.
There are countless powerful battleships in the mothership database, but manufacturing these things requires costs, factories, and different technologies that need to be overcome. If you just pull out all those powerful battleships to form a fleet of all nations, you don't need to fight, your own logistics will collapse first. The one who loses in the end is himself.
Therefore, instead of blindly pursuing the power of a single battleship, it is better to establish your own system first. Whether it is an economic system, an industrial system, a social system, a military system, or a fleet system, only in this way can we remain standing in a galaxy that is increasingly heading towards chaos.
When Galactic Empire is singing loudly for the victory of Saleucami Planet; when they are beginning to exert their huge industrial advantages and build a fleet that is ten or even a hundred times better than Duchy of Dawn; when they are fighting fiercely for their emperor Darth-Z When Sidious was excited that his own power could once again overwhelm Das-Malthael; little did he know that Das-Malthael was consolidating his internal affairs while watching with cold eyes, quietly counting the remaining days of the Galactic Empire.
That's right, 170,000 uprisings broke out in 7 months. Palpatine feels that Saleucami Planet's victory and the secret construction of the DS-1 battle fortress in a place unknown to Tang Xiao can scare everyone with terror, and then the situation can be controlled?
But Tang Xiao will tell him that you are wrong. What you encounter now is just the beginning!
