1898. A fly turns into a tiger

The spacecraft landed next to the two Imperial-class Star Destroyers, and only saw a dilapidated-looking military base in the middle of the two Imperial-class Star Destroyers.

But in front of the terrifying size of Imperial-class Star Destroyer, which is 1,600 meters long, even this military base looks like a kitten standing next to a tiger.

And after the spacecraft landed, it was discovered that there were more than twenty small and medium-sized spacecraft of various types parked next to the two Imperial-class Star Destroyers, including Gozanti-class transport ship, Auro class freighter, etc., and even four Corellian gunships. Basically, this is a small fleet!

Luna-Meng explained as he walked, "The two Star Destroyers have been fighting illegal smuggling crimes on the edge of Hutt Space, and have fought many fierce battles with pirates raging everywhere, destroying at least three pirate bases. Oh, in the first half of the year, they also received the the Empire third-class medal from Imperial Navy."

She raised her head and looked at Imperial-class Star Destroyer from this distance. It was completely towering into the clouds. She had to raise her head hard to barely see the top. (In fact, the Imperial-class in "The Mandalorian Season 3" where he sneaks into Imperial-class Star Destroyer to steal things looks just like the model... Think about it, Imperial-class is 1,600 meters long, and the highest point is more than 300 meters. How does it feel when you stand under a 300-meter-high building? Even if you enter from the middle of Imperial-class, running back and forth is basically equivalent to a long run.)

"And in order to support the operation to eliminate pirates, the Galactic Empire Navy department did not skimp on logistical supplies. During a battle last year, they received a combat report that one of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer ships encountered a large number of pirates from behind. After the Wraith fighter purchased on the market suffered serious damage, four Corellian gunship were immediately dispatched to provide additional air defense force," Luna-Meng continued.

Das-Malthael rubbed his forehead and asked, is this the Star Wars version of free money? The battle reports were vivid and tragic, but in fact, these spaceships were parked here brand new, and except for the wind and rain, they had not even touched a big stone.

"Hahahaha! Those Imperial Naval Department people are so deceptive! We said that our logistics fleet was attacked, but it turned out that all they equipped us with are Gozanti-class transport ships with powerful weapons!" Luna-Huan Gao said happily.

"Maybe it's not that those the Empire officials are easy to deceive, it's simply because such an action can make them a lot of money." Priestess said lightly, "Maybe four Corellian gunships were sent to you, but in fact the report received by the Imperial Naval Department was eight ships, and the cost of the other four ships has already fallen into their pockets."

"What a sad the Empire... because in the end they spent a whole fleet of money, but they couldn't accomplish anything." Judgment Since being awakened by Darth-Malthael, she has also witnessed the decline of Galactic Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire, and is full of emotions.

"But unlike Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire will transfer this money to the exploited planets of Mid Rim and Outer Rim. They will not even hide themselves, directly engage in predatory development, and then concentrate huge amounts of funds and resources on Core Worlds." Priestess said.

"It is precisely because the Empire is so stupid that we have the opportunity to get Star Destroyer!" Luna-Huan could not understand the emotions of Priestess and Judgment.

The group of people walked towards the direction of the military base and opened the gate of the base. They saw some Clone Trooper armors and equipment scattered everywhere. After several years of ups and downs, these equipment were covered with mud and could no longer be used.

Finally, Luna-Meng took them to the warehouse of the base. In the entire base, only this warehouse looks slightly newer, and it seems to be opened frequently.

Luna-Meng raised his hand, and under the precise control of the Force, the password was entered instantly, and the huge iron door began to slowly slide open on both sides.

Then...

Countless neat gun racks and armor racks are neatly placed here, so dazzling that you can't even see the end at a glance! Looking up, there are even more than a dozen armored units such as AT-TE walkers, AT-ST bipedal walkers, AV-7 self-propelled artillery, and TX-130 Saber hover tanks inside the warehouse!! And there are thousands of Westwind-G hover motorcycles!

Das-Malthael felt a headache again, "So you also embezzled an army unit from the Galactic Empire??"

"Of course, one Imperial-class Star Destroyer equipped with Marines is a legion, with 9,700 people. Two ships are 19,400 people, plus the losses caused by constant combat, so there are a total of equipment here for 30,000 people!" Luna-Huan said excitedly.

"So what about these Fourth Civilization Marines? Kill them all." Das-Malthael said calmly.

"No. We let them live in that space station all the time, and from time to time they will fight against pirates that don't exist at all." Luna-Meng said.

"So? What are you going to do after you have embezzled so many things?" Das-Malthael asked, "If these things can hit Galactic Empire, it is just a drop in the bucket. But if you say it is less, it is indeed a lot. It can already be done to suppress Outer Rim Territories on most planets."

Luna-Huan tilted his head and said, "We don't know what to do with these equipment... In fact, at first we just planned to give it a try and wanted Galactic Empire to deliver some fun things to us. So my sister sent them a letter saying that this place was attacked by pirates, and then a few days later Imperial military sent us two Aquitenes-class light cruiser ships..."

Luna-Meng sighed and said, "Then this lie couldn't stop... because Imperial military kept asking us to report on the combat process of the two Light Cruiser. We just made it casually I created a fantasy of a space battle and showed it to a few officers. It turned out that their professionalism was quite strong and the battle report they wrote was better than Lord Jing's novel... Then, Imperial military sent reinforcements..."

"the Empire has never been stingy with this kind of weapons and equipment. They gave us whatever we asked for. In the end, they gave us such a lot of weapons and equipment... At the beginning, we wanted some delicious food to improve the food, but there was none. "Luna-Huan was a little unhappy when he said this, "My sister and I ate a full year of marching biscuits before we could grow up in the fantasy world and be able to confuse those officers and let them go out to buy delicious food with military funds!"

So... this is the typical process of small greed turning into huge greed, from a fly to a tiger... Das-Malthael shook his head.
