1909. Spark (5)
Boom!!!! A violent explosion set off in a hospital in Onderon's capital Izzy City!
The violent explosion destroyed the outer wall of the hospital, the flames spread instantly, and the powerful shock wave blew away all the doctors, patients, and medical equipment!
For a time, there were screams and wails everywhere in the hospital! Shattered corpses, wreckage everywhere, and shrill screams intertwined into a hellish picture.
But this is just the beginning! A group of armed men dressed in black broke into the hospital and killed everyone on sight! They are cold-blooded and ruthless. They don't care whether the people in front of them are old, weak, women or children. As long as they can still move, they will shoot them!
Team Izzy City Public Security Department rushed to the scene immediately, but the militants did not escape immediately. On the contrary, they fiercely exchanged fire with Team Public Security Department!
The exchange of fire between the two sides lasted for a full ten minutes, and several more members of the Public Security Department team died. At this time, Onderon Royal Guard stationed at Izzy City was about to arrive. However, these terrorists seemed to know this. They immediately dispersed on hover motorcycles and rushed into the city. Then they fled under the cover of the crowd and lost their traces.
This attack caused the death of 277 civilians in the hospital and the death of 16 Public Security Department team members. The entire Onderon was shocked!
After a while, a video began to appear on the planet HoloNet.
In the video, a young man wearing a combat uniform and holding a Blaster rifle is standing here. His face is sinister, showing a ferocity and violence that is not for his age group.
"Maybe you are still surprised by what happened in the hospital, so let me tell you the answer now - yes, I did it." The young man said coldly, "This is just the beginning! Onderon and the current government! You are guilty! You first surrendered to Separatists, and then allowed Galactic Republic to burn, kill and loot on the planet! Now you are kneeling to the Galactic Empire! That's right! You are guilty! Guilty!!"
His voice became more and more excited, "Do you want to ask who I am? So before you ask the question, think about it first, whether you can still remember the Mina-Senator Bonteri who fought to the last moment for Onderon, but was betrayed by you and then handed over to Separatists's robot for public execution!!"
"Yes! Mina-Bontri!! She is my mother!! She is my mentor!! She is also the last monument of Onderon!! I am Lux-Bontri! Revolutionary!! Avenger!! Resistor!! And these partners behind me are the saviors of Onderon!! We are Mina Revolutionary Army!! We are the leaders who lead you to resist the tyranny of the current government and lead you to freedom!!!"
Lux-Bontri's expression was extremely ferocious and excited. He opened his arms and his whole body was shaking with excitement, but his words were full of contagion, "Now I am here, formal order! Onderon The current government, Ramses-King Dundrup, step down immediately! Return the power of the planet to the person who should lead the planet to freedom-Mina-Bontri!"
There was a click, and the image froze, then gradually disappeared.
"Your Majesty Dumbledore... We have sent people to track it, but this signal was sent from the outer orbit of the planet. They should be on a spacecraft, but they are no longer there." Izzy City security officer said beside King Dundrup.
Onderon King Ramses-Dundup's old body trembled slightly. At this moment, his heart was full of anger and sadness. "He is right. Mina-Bontri is indeed a hero who fought until the last moment for our planet... but..."
Full of anger, King Dundrup had to stop and take a breath, "But doesn't this brat know that it was precisely because he blindly followed those Rebel Alliances that he was finally exploited by Gerrera and instead harmed his own mother?! How could he have the nerve to name Mina-Bontri!!??"
The security officer said, "The fact that he can say such things shows that his psychology has been completely distorted. When his mother was still alive, he was able to stay with the Rebel Alliance privately regardless of the overall situation, and use his mother's information network to provide intelligence to the Rebel Alliance. Currently, It was just for his childish and ridiculous so-called ideal. In the end, his clumsy tricks were discovered by Separatists's General Kalani, which led to Senator Bonteri's sacrifice... It's not unexpected for such a person to do anything now..."
"He didn't even spare his dead mother, and he is still using Mina-Senator Bonteri's reputation to carry out terrorist activities! Such people have no humanity!" Ramses-Dundup said in a low voice.
"But this is also very dangerous. Mina-Senator Bonteri has indeed been shaped into a hero on our planet. Now, Lux-Bontri has come forward as the heir of a hero. I am afraid there will be many people supporting him," the security officer said.
"Oh... I know..." Ramses-Dundup sighed.
Several years before the Clone Wars outbreak, Sanjay-Rush of Onderon colluded with Separatists to launch a coup and put King Dundrup under house arrest, then accepted the investment from the InterGalactic Banking Clan and Tyran Heavy Industries, built a large-scale shipyard on Dexen Satellite on the planet, and produced Behemoth-class battlecruiser.
Later, due to the greed and tyranny of Sanjay-Rush, widespread resistance was aroused, and Rebel Alliance headed by Suo-Gerrera and Stila-Gerrera appeared on the planet. Galactic Republic also took the opportunity to infiltrate Onderon and began to let Anakin-Skywalker contact Rebel Alliance, paving the way for subsequent counterattacks.
But Separatists sent Super Tactical Droid——General Kalani. The wise Super Tactical Droid had just taken office and used a strategy to use Thor Mech's experiment to attract the ambitious cable-Gerrera, and then severely damaged Rebel Alliance.
Afterwards, he used very cunning means to capture the people who continued to provide intelligence to the Rebel Alliance, including Mina-Senator Bonteri. Soon Mina-Senator Bonteri were killed, and Onderon entered a state of military control under the rule of General Kalani.
However, Galactic Republic finally pushed the front to Onderon, and launched a large-scale attack with Wilhuff-Tarkin as the general commander.
When using Galactic Republic to attack, Suo-Gerrera took the opportunity to collude with Wilhuff-Tarkin, launched another coup, and then became the king of Onderon.
After that, Dexen Satellite was captured, Separatists forces were defeated, and Onderon was finally occupied by Galactic Republic again. However, Suo-Gerrera's dream of being a king did not last long. He was quickly killed by Dream Sisters. Even if Judgment later defeated Dream Sisters, it would not help the situation get out of control again.
As a result, when Onderon was in the most chaos and danger, the old king Ramses-Dundup once again stood up. He walked to the front desk and announced that he would serve as the Onderon king again. And he declared that the three previous regimes of Sanjay-Rush, General Kalani, and Suo-Gerrera were illegal. Onderon broke away from Confederacy of Independent Systems and rejoined Galactic Republic.
Just as he promised to Stila-Gerrera at that time, he will stand at the front desk and use his last life to protect Onderon from wind and rain.
Because when the government of Onderon is established again, the planet will be plagued by internal and external troubles. After the previous three regimes, the administrative management mechanism on the planet has basically completely collapsed. Officials appointed by the three regimes are everywhere. Administrative powers are intertwined with each other, and there are overt and covert conflicts between them. There is a mess everywhere.
After Ramses-Dundup came to power again, he immediately used thunderous means to clean up all chaotic and redundant administrative agencies. And he firmly held the planet's largest armed force - Onderon Royal Guard in his hands, and at the same time began to clean up the dissidents in the army.
This is a very dangerous action. If you are not careful, it will trigger another coup or even a mutiny! However, Ramses-Dundup's political skills were not comparable to those of Sanjay-Rush and Suo-Gerrera. He immediately made a decision and asked Republic Fleet to stabilize the situation for him.
In order to achieve this goal, he even gave up the neutral position of the planet and declared war on Confederacy of Independent Systems and Dawn Star Planet, who was still a member of Confederacy of Independent Systems at that time!
Shocked by the force of the five Hunter Class Battlecruiser sent by Galactic Republic, King Dundrup quickly completed the cleanup of the interior of the planet. He arrested tens of thousands of people, most of whom were warlords and high-ranking officials who took the opportunity to cause chaos and even wanted independence.
He thoroughly cleaned up all the chaotic bureaucrats appointed by the previous three regimes, and he did so in the fastest and most unreasonable way - across the board! Anyone who has anything to do with the previous regime will be removed immediately and sent to a specialized department for political review!
Later, in response to his promise to participate in the war, Dundup conscripted 700,000 soldiers and sent 700,000 Onderon soldiers to the front line to fight Confederacy of Independent Systems. Facing the ruthless Confederacy of Independent Systems robot army, less than one-third of these 700,000 people can return to Onderon alive!
This series of actions caused Ramses-Dundup's image in the hearts of the Onderon people to completely collapse in almost a short period of time. Now in the eyes of the people, he is completely a militaristic dictator Tyrant!
But the matter of Ramses-Dundup is far from over. In the name of participating in the war, he accepted a large amount of support and loans from Galactic Republic, and then built industrialized farms and heavy weapons manufacturing industries on the planet.
Galactic Republic's support and loans are not so easy to obtain. They are all mortgaged with the planet's output, or they are exchanged for the planet's real power, such as senior officials of some key departments. And the worst thing is the loans to those large enterprises!
Because doing this is equivalent to handing over control of the planet to others step by step!
But from another perspective, this also allowed Onderon to gain the most valuable development in this chaotic and desperate moment!
Later, Galactic Republic was destroyed and reorganized into the Galactic Empire. Ramses-Dundup seized this opportunity very keenly. He immediately showed his loyalty to Emperor Palpatine and actively accepted the entry of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau.
Galactic Empire is naturally very satisfied with this. Of course, satisfaction is satisfaction, and you still have to take what you should take. Imperial authorities carried out a very cruel robbery on Onderon, and at this time, Ramses-Dundup became the accomplices of the Galactic Empire!
He took the initiative to help Galactic Empire plunder the people of his planet. He continued to increase his workload, squeezed his salary, and provided Galactic Empire with everything they wanted at extremely low prices.
In just over a year, Onderon's economy, which had finally improved somewhat, fell into depression again. And the accomplices in all this - Ramses-King Dundrup, in the eyes of the Onderon people, are already as existing as a street rat!
Almost everyone gnashed their teeth and cursed when they mentioned the names Ramses-Dundup. People cursed each of his ancestors in the most vicious words.
However, people are ruthless, but there is nothing they can do. Because Galactic Empire is naturally very satisfied with such obedient Ramses-King Dundrup. If someone wants to seize the throne of King Dundrup now, Galactic Empire will be the first to refuse!
Therefore, the throne of Ramses-Dundup can sit firmly until now, and no one can shake it.
In fact, those who cursed King Dundrup did not realize that although Dundup was helping Galactic Empire to exploit the people of the planet, he did his best to leave a way for the people to survive, and he also argued with the Galactic Empire to prevent the Empire from taking advantage of the situation.
Moreover, many of the support and loans he received from selling his sovereignty to Galactic Republic were lost due to the destruction of Galactic Republic. There is no need to repay or hand over sovereignty, and the planet's infrastructure has been greatly improved.
At the same time, no matter how authoritarian and dictatorial Ramses-Dundup may seem, he has always been cleaning up the planet's bureaucracy to ensure the clarity and efficiency of government agencies. Even if these departments appear to be aiding evil in the eyes of the people, they have to admit that they are indeed very efficient.
No one knew at this time that before Ramses-Dundup ascended the throne for the second time, he had already chosen Stila-Gerrera, who truly cared about the people, as the true leader of the planet. And Dundup is willing to be that martyr himself, and also to pave the way for Stila-Gerrera.
Now Onderon's power is too small and too weak, and there is no choice in the turbulent galaxy. If Stila-Gerrera becomes the king at this time, it will only destroy her.
Therefore, Dundup can only bear all the infamy, silently carry the planet forward, and try to lay a better foundation for Stila-Gerrera.
But now, Ramses-King Dundrup's plan has been dealt a blow - Mina-Senator Bonteri's son, Lux-Bontri, is back with a group of terrorists!
