1904. Lothal Planet's Dilemma (Part 2)
Lothal Planet failed to stop the Givin from landing. Within just a few months, the Givin arrived here on Leviathan-class passenger liner. After the Givin landed on Lothal Planet's land, he started his immigration work with extremely high efficiency.
A large number of modular houses began to be constructed, and the professional tools on the engineering spacecraft began to clear the complex jungle very efficiently. In one day, the powerful Disintegration Beam could completely turn a large jungle into a fertile soil.
In just four months, the Givin built three temporary cities in Lothal Planet, each with a population of 316,569 people - yes, the Givin is so accurate to single digits.
After landing, these the Givin immediately took out a large amount of real money and purchased food and supplies on a large scale from the Lothal Planet aborigines. They were previously known for their industrial production and were one of the most powerful industrial worlds in Duchy of Dawn. Naturally, they were not short of money.
In contrast, although the Lothal Planet authorities understand that this is the Givin's strategy of taking over Lothal Planet's economy in a short time by relying on a huge amount of funds, the authorities have nothing to do...
There is no way, under the same economic system, the wealth creation speed and production capacity of agricultural civilization and industrial civilization are completely different. What's more, both parties are currently operating under the economic system of the Galactic Empire. The resources and wealth that the Givin can bring out are far beyond those of the Lothal Planet locals who grow vegetables.
Soon, a large number of Lothal Planet locals began to trade with the Givin, using their crops to exchange advanced and convenient industrial products with the Givin. The Givin is also happy to see the results. With the food supply from the Lothal Planet aboriginal people, they saved space for shipping food during the initial immigration and used it to transport more people and modular houses.
However, the Givin is basically aiming to build Lothal Planet into its second home planet. Especially during the previous offensive and defensive battle for the planet Yago-Dur, the planet Yago-Durr encountered a once-in-a-century astronomical phenomenon. The planet was thrown out at high speed by the gravity of the star, and then braked suddenly under the gravity of another star!
In the past, the Givin could only endure such a terrifying experience silently, but now, they have a new Homeworld! This new Homeworld is personally approved by Grand Duke of Dawn - Tang Xiao!
For the Givin, what is Galactic Republic? Who is Palpatine? They don't want to pay attention at all! The Givin has become a die-hard member of Duchy of Dawn since their mathematical model calculated that they would not get any good results if they continued to follow Galactic Republic.
Now they are under the banner of Duchy of Dawn, playing Galactic Republic on the top and resisting Imperial fleet on the bottom. They eat well, drink well and dress well. The mathematical model calculates that following Duchy of Dawn is at least an unknown number, full of possibilities. Now that there is a planet for them to immigrate to, what else can they do if they are not grateful to Tang Xiao?
So after getting Tang Xiao's approval, the Givin immediately organized the women and children on their own planet to start large-scale immigration.
Just in the first year after immigration began, the population of the Givin on Lothal Planet had already reached 14 million! They transported almost all the old, weak, sick and disabled people on their planet!
Moreover, the Givin is not an environmental warrior. After they arrived, they immediately began to explore the strata, mine resources, and build factories. Not only that, because the immigrants the Givin did not have much labor force, they directly chose to hire locals to work in the factories.
At this time, there was still some harmony between the Givin and the locals of Losar, and the locals were very willing to work in the Givin's factory and earn a more generous income than they usually did from farming.
Then in the second year after the immigration began, the population of the Givin exceeded 25 million, and they also began to build rail transit, build space ports, and build larger-scale natural resource extraction bases. And those local people who actively trade with the Givin have also used intelligent and automated agriculture to assist them in larger-scale agricultural production.
It was at this time that the administration of Lothal Planet began to discover that the fragile small-scale peasant economy on their own planet had long been torn to pieces in front of the automated industry of the Givin! They found that their economic system began to be gradually annexed by the Givin, and their people began to become the Givin's raw material suppliers and workers. They no longer had any independence at all.
At the same time, the factories and mines opened by the Givin also began to cause damage to the environment.
The Givin, who is eager to complete the immigration work and turn this place into his second hometown, must have their first goal to form their own industrial system as soon as possible so that they have enough production capacity to expand the city and support more people. Therefore, they prioritize the construction of factories with higher production capacity but more severe damage to the environment.
The trigger was Lothal Planet, a farmer on a farm who discovered that one of his water sources was contaminated by industry. The liquid flowing with green harmful substances began to corrode his farmland.
So the farmer immediately sued Lothal Planet Supreme Court for the factory opened by the Givin. The local Supreme Court immediately betrayed the operator of the factory and demanded that they close the factory immediately and clean up the pollution.
However, the Givin turned a deaf ear to it. They did not even attend the court hearing, which fully demonstrated their contempt for the locals of Lothal Planet! And this factory should produce or produce, and should discharge sewage or discharge sewage.
So the angry Losar locals gathered thousands of people, rushed into the factory and had a conflict with the factory Guardian. Factory Guardian was outnumbered, and they were beaten up one after another and thrown into the river sewage discharged by the factory.
In fact, by this time, the situation is not out of control. But the problem is that two people died in the factory Guardian that was thrown into the sewage river!!
The cause of death was very complicated, including drinking contaminated water after falling into the water, and internal injuries suffered when being beaten. It turned out that the factory manager, who discovered that a worker had died, went to the Corporate Alliance without saying a word and bought 2,000 B-1 combat robots!
So when the locals of Losal once again organized manpower to protest against the pollution of the factory, the B-1 combat robot was dispatched! These ruthless robots easily destroyed the resistance of the defenseless locals.
The most powerful weapons in the hands of the locals are Molotov cocktails made of spirits. In addition, they are some of the oldest DL-18 Blaster pistol. How could they withstand the attack of the B-1 combat robot!
As a result, this incident immediately turned into a bloody conflict among groups! Even the E-5 Blaster rifle in the hands of the B-1 combat robot was set to non-lethal mode, but in the conflict between thousands of people, many people were still trampled to death, or died from vital organs such as the eyes being hit by Blaster Beam in non-lethal mode!
Things suddenly got big!
Many Lothal Planet locals began to react. The Givin did not take them seriously at all when it came to this level of expansion. Their way of life was never respected. The Givin only thought about how to turn Lothal Planet into their own Homeworld!
So the Lothal Planet authorities once again sent a severely worded letter of condemnation to the Givin and Duchy of Dawn, but still no one paid attention to them. So the authorities had no choice but to call on the people to protest in the Givin cities and factories.
Although this approach seems outrageous, at that time many planets with serious liberal thoughts did so. Their thoughts are very simple. They think that if they can escape from all the conflicts in the galaxy, they can run their own city with peace of mind. They don't even consider establishing their own armed forces!
Because in the eyes of these people, organizing armed forces will give people a bad and unfree impression. And if you are patronized by pirates, just go to mercenaries for help - in fact, Lothal Planet has not encountered pirates before, but at that time they went to Dak Planet nearby, and Quarren took the money and helped them clean up the pirates.
However, now, Dak Planet will not pay attention to them at all. Therefore, the only option left for the Lothal Planet authorities is to protest.
The Givin responded by specially pulling a Luukri-Hok-class battleship over! It is filled with B-1 combat robots, with a total of 600,000 installed!
So friendly immigration activities turned into armed invasion and violent occupation!
In front of hundreds of thousands of B-1 combat robots, the locals of Lothal people were simply broken into pieces at a touch. Then several managers of the planet authority were dragged out of their offices by the robots and thrown into the river. A group of officials who were friendly to the Givin were replaced, and the occupation of the planet was completed.
In addition, the industrial production of the Givin has indeed brought benefits to some local people who are not so single-minded, so there are still many people supporting the Givin.
After all, Lothal Planet was originally an immigrant planet. There were hundreds of races living here, and most of them came from other places to escape war.
After the Galactic Empire was established, Human Supremacy began to rise, and many non-Human races living in Inner Rim and Core Worlds encountered varying degrees of discrimination and suppression. Basically, except for the powerful Core Worlds and non-Human race like Trade Federation and Technological Alliance, many others are forced to immigrate towards Outer Rim.
Lothal Planet is also a place chosen by many immigrants, so there are no indigenous races in the strict sense. Therefore, many people are not particularly unacceptable to the settlement and rule of the Givin.
So the Givin continued his immigration plan. Following the instructions of Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao, Quarren and Mon Calamari of Dak Planet also joined.
Dak Planet to Lothal Planet is not too far away, and in the original plot, Lothal Planet and Dak Planet are also one of the important bases of the Rebel Alliance, relying on such mutual support.
The most important thing is that the two major races on Dak Planet - Quarren and Mon Calamari, can now be said to be the races with the most developed industry and the highest quality engineers in Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Quarren and Mon Calamari were actually hostile to each other during the Galactic Republic period. Mon Calamari supported Galactic Republic, and Quarren supported Confederacy of Independent Systems. Later, Confederacy of Independent Systems sent Reeve Tamson to Dak Planet to interfere in the internal affairs of the planet, triggering a civil war on the planet, and later Galactic Republic also got involved.
The result was that under the operation of Tang Xiao, all the blame for launching the civil war was placed on Reeve Tamson, and he was made into a common enemy of Quarren and Mon Calamari. Later, Galactic Republic was expelled and Dak Planet was reunited as a whole.
The current Dak Planet is much stronger than the split state in the original plot.
Tang Xiao chose to let the Givin immigrate to Lothal Planet near Dak Planet, which is out of this consideration. Now in the three major star districts directly under the jurisdiction of Duchy of Dawn, since the industries of Rendili StarDrive have begun to move inward, the industries there have great potential for development and no additional things are needed.
Due to Three-Body environmental problems on the Yago-Dur planet, its industrial production capacity is not stable, and it is also unsafe for Titan warship's shipyard to be placed there. So Tang Xiao decided to win over Dak Planet and build a new industrial center at Lothal Planet, which was also a Darksaber inserted in the other direction of the Galactic Empire!
In the original plot, Rebel Alliance, with the support of Mon Calamari dominated by Mon Calamari, was able to reverse Galactic Empire to win, and Tang Xiao believes that under his own operation, Dak Planet, united by Quarren and Mon Calamari, will provide a more powerful impetus for the destruction of the Galactic Empire!
Now with Saleucami Planet being captured and Confederacy of Independent Systems facing collapse, Dak Planet naturally needs to find another way out. Therefore, it hit it off with Tang Xiao, and the two parties quickly finalized the cooperation matters to build a new Titan shipyard and industrial zone here. As for the Titan shipyard on the Yago-Dur planet, after the second ship Ankollon-class Titan warship Taowu enters service, it will also be dismantled and moved away.
After that, the planet Yago-Dur will exist as a single-function fortress planet.
After the Givin gained a foothold in Lothal Planet, in the third year of immigration, Dak Planet's largest industrial company, which was also Confederacy of Independent Systems's largest industrial company, Freedom Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps, also sent an engineering team to Lothal Planet to start building factories and mines.
But such a naked invasion also aroused the resistance of the Lothal Planet people. A large number of the Rebel Alliance and underground resistance organizations began to appear. They attacked transport convoys, mines, and even the Givin's cities. Moreover, the resistance movement is getting more and more intense, giving the Givin a headache.
So they also began to send more immigrants here, and the overt and covert fighting between the two sides continued.
