2064, Star Wars (中)
After avoiding the patrol of Imperial army, the Padmé-Amidala group came to an inconspicuous village. There are about 4 to 50 households in this village, and people make a living by raising fish around the nearby lake.
This kind of life without competing with the world is actually not uncommon among Outer Rim planets with a large population like Ryloth. Many residents are not interested in the so-called high-tech products in the center of the galaxy. They prefer their traditional simple life.
Entering a wooden house, an enthusiastic electronic voice greeted the person, "Oh, distinguished leader Amidala, it's great to see you arrived here safe and sound." A ceremonial robot with a brass shell, C-3PO, walked out of the house.
"They arrived yesterday." said a Rebel Alliance soldier nearby. "We have made proper arrangements. This village is full of our people."
Padmé-Amidala nodded, lifted the hood, and walked inside.
Several elderly villagers inside quickly stood up and bowed to her, then opened a shelf full of dried fish, revealing a basement passage.
Entering the passage is like entering another world. The most advanced communication equipment is arranged here, and there is also a small but very precise holographic star map. On the star map, the star area surrounding Ryloth is clearly displayed.
"Leader! We are ready! Let's start!" A Rebel Alliance soldier looked at Padmé-Amidala very excitedly and gave a vigorous military salute.
Even his movements were trembling due to excessive force. After all, the person standing in front of him was the respected leader! It is the spiritual pillar of the Rebel Alliance!
Padmé smiled slightly. Her smile seemed to be full of sunshine, dispelling the haze shrouded in the sky and giving people courage and confidence. She nodded and said, "Don't underestimate our enemies, but we can't lose our confidence either. The situation in Ryloth has matured, and this is what we all have achieved all along. And today, we will take the most critical and difficult step here."
"Yes!" The surrounding Rebel Alliance soldiers suddenly became excited.
A Tusken Rebel Alliance officer immediately clicked on the holographic star map and displayed the annotation on it in red, "Leader, we have obtained all the information on Imperial army on Ryloth. You see... Galactic Empire's naval strength on Ryloth is two Imperial-class Star Destroyer, two Victory I-class Star Destroyer, five Aquitenes-class light cruiser, and two Nightwatcher-class frigate will arrive tomorrow. All warships are parked in the space station in the outer orbit of the planet... However, two of them, Aquitenes-class light cruiser, will patrol the equator of the planet once a day. During the patrol, the carrier-based aircraft formation will continue to take off in a three-machine formation to expand the patrol range."
He continued to mark on the holographic projection and said, "Then in the capital Lessu (Lessu), Galactic Empire is stationed with Clone 339th Assault Battalion, with a total number of more than 2,400 people, and Imperial Stormtroopers 272nd Legion, with a total number of more than 9,200 people. Their station is in the barracks area 1.5 kilometers east of Lessu. Then there are mainly some local Public Security Department teams, with a total number of more than three million."
Padmé-Amidala nodded and said, "I believe that every Tusken yearns for freedom and deeply hates the exploitation of the Galactic Empire. This is also the result I obtained in the previous investigation, and it is also an important reason why I am standing here now. According to what I got According to the information received, Galactic Empire is formulating a combat plan against Duchy of Dawn, and as part of the plan, Galactic Empire will launch an attack on Christophsis. The Qidian they attack is Ryloth."
Officer Tusken nodded and said, "In other words, Galactic Empire rebuilt 14th Army, and the general department continued to be set up at Ryloth. This is why... Christophsis has been replaced by Duchy of Dawn has been occupying the planet for more than ten years, and they have been strengthening the planet's defense force. Now the total population there exceeds 40 billion, and with the complete defense facilities, Galactic Empire must invest a huge amount of force. Can you judge the scale of Imperial army's attack?"
Padmé-Amidala said with great certainty, "The strength of an entire sector fleet is at least 150 capital ships and 4,000 small and medium-sized warships. And the first batch of ground troops will invest at least 20 legions, 180,000 people. In order to maintain their frontline offensive, the ground troops assembled on Ryloth should reach about 3 million by then."
"Such an army... has to tear off a layer of Ryloth's land!" Officer Tusken waved his fist, "They are currently carrying out extensive construction work to build a large barracks, and are also building four large space ports. All these expenses are borne by Ryloth, and the workers used are all our people!"
"So, we can't let them continue like this." Padmé-Amidala said, "Imperial Senate has also made arrangements, Ryloth Governor Ulooda is serving as The evidence of corruption during the Planet Governor period is solid. We will first launch the impeachment of Ulooda. If nothing else happens, the results will come soon. When the Empire sends the investigation team, it will be the power vacuum period of Ryloth."
Tusken officer nodded and said, "The next thing will also go according to plan!"
Padmé patted his shoulder and said, "Ryloth can get rid of the Empire's control in one fell swoop!"
Everyone started to get busy according to the previous plan. With Padmé-Amidala here, every Rebel Alliance warrior present was full of strength.
Yes, because... she is the leader of all Rebel Alliance!
Time goes back to a few years ago, when Confederacy of Independent Systems was still struggling to survive. Because of the Galactic Empire's tyranny, many Draon Planet stood up rebel against the Empire. However, although these uprisings occurred one after another, there was no organization at all. The insurgents just relied on their passion to temporarily organize a group of people to fight against the Imperial army armed forces.
For example, this is the case with the uprising of Raffa planet.
Galactic Empire forced Raffa planet to grow high-energy crops, plundering the fertility of the planet's land, and even refused to use chemical fertilizers. Moreover, the Empire also forces Raffa planet farmers to perform high-intensity labor and only gives them a small amount of subsidies. Even this small amount of charity is often withheld.
So the people of Raffa planet went on strike. They organized an attack on Imperial army, seized weapons, and attacked Imperial army's station. In fact, the thoughts of these rebels are very simple, they just want to drive the Empire out.
But this is almost impossible.
Raffa planet's uprising was very violent. Ahsoka-Tano also participated in it. They once captured Galactic Empire's barracks, killed all the Imperial army inside, and also grabbed several spaceships.
But Galactic Empire soon made a comeback, and three Victory I-class Star Destroyers immediately descended on the planet. A large number of TIE/LN fighters took off and wreaked havoc across the entire planet, destroying every spacecraft that appeared in their sight!
After possessing absolute air supremacy, the Empire fighters began to continuously bomb the places where Rebel Alliance appeared. The fighter jets kept swooping and strafing, and TIE bomber also roared and dropped high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs one after another. Towns and villages were in flames, and the fields that people had worked hard to cultivate were also engulfed in flames.
After the Rebel Alliance who had risen to resist were completely blown to pieces, a large number of Imperial Stormtroopers began to land and carried out an inhumane massacre on those Rebel Alliance who could no longer form an organization!
In the end, the entire Raffa planet uprising was completely suppressed. Seeing that there was no hope of resistance, the farmers had no choice but to return to the fields. Under the guns of Imperial Stormtroopers, they continued to overdraw the planet's fertility and plant high-energy crops for the Empire.
Since Galactic Empire began to rule the galaxy, such resistance and suppression have occurred almost every day. As a result, countless people were massacred by Imperial army, and countless cities were plowed to the ground. Even some planets that make too much noise will attract Imperial Navy's Orbital Bombardment! And the one who appeared on these planets and personally issued Orbital Bombardment's orders was Emperor Palpatine's disciple and confidant - Darth-Vader!
The uprising at that time was desperate, as if you were going to die. People couldn't bear it anymore and chose to rise up when they couldn't live any longer, and the result was indeed death without distinction.
There is no doubt about the power of the Empire, and it is definitely not something that a certain planet can resist.
At this time, Padmé-Amidala turned out!
People don't know who this person is. They only know that this person has a voice full of power and courage, and he also has the wisdom to constantly deal with the Galactic Empire. Someone called her 'leader', so they called her out.
Padmé-Amidala first established a very secretive and very efficient communication mechanism. No one knows how she did it, but she was indeed able to connect all the resistance movements of Draon Planet, and connected more and more resistance movements without Imperial Security Bureau knowing anything about it.
This alone is a miracle.
And with the help of this communication network, Padmé-Amidala began to convey her thoughts to many planets that wanted to rise up rebel against the Empire. She gave secret speeches and distributed various leaflets through many channels.
She has a very complete theoretical system on how to the rebel against the Empire. The most important point is that she very clearly pointed out that the reason why Galactic Empire is so corrupt and cruel now is ultimately because Emperor Palpatine is a Sith Lord!
Sith Lord is a group of evil beings who distorted the Force and used the Force to satisfy their own desires. They are Dark Side of the Force. Because of this, Emperor Palpatine regards the entire Galactic Empire as a tool to realize his ambitions. At the same time, Duchy of Dawn's Grand Duke Tang Xiao is also an evil Sith Lord.
The struggle between the two Sith Lord dragged the entire galaxy into the flames of war.
Therefore, their ultimate goal of the Rebel Alliance is to overthrow the rule of Sith Lord, including Palpatine and Tang Xiao, over the galaxy, then rebuild Galactic Republic and bring freedom and democracy back to the galaxy!
The introduction of this guiding ideology can be said to be a qualitative change for the insurrectionists throughout the galaxy. In fact, since ancient times, what all rebels need most is such a clear and long-term goal. Once there is no clear enough goal to guide them, it will be like a certain kingdom of heaven. After achieving staged victory, they will fall into confusion and finally lose themselves in power.
Padmé-Amidala directly pointed the finger at Sith Lord, Dark Side at the Force, letting everyone know who their enemy is!
After having a program, Padmé-Amidala began to consider the overall situation from a higher perspective and put forward clear suggestions to those planets that wanted to launch an uprising. For example, if some planets in a very bad situation do not revolt for the time being, they will lose their lives in vain, and through the resistance actions in other areas, the power of the Empire will be gradually weakened, and then the uprising will be successful.
Planets that successfully revolt will often negotiate terms with local officials of the Empire to strive for a better living environment, or create a power vacuum of the Empire to temporarily keep the power of the Empire away.
All these actions boil down to one point - weakening the Empire's power and enhancing its own power!
All uprisings are temporary, and they are just to spread the concept of the rebel against the Empire against Dark Side against Sith Lord so that more people can understand it. At the same time, they are also to help those who cannot survive.
The the Empire materials they seized during the uprising were used to strengthen themselves on the one hand, and to help those planets in despair on the other.
That's right, in some places where the Empire's power is stronger, Padmé-Amidala will not force them to rise up and resist, but will make them endure and wait for a better real machine.
At the same time, Padmé-Amidala also began to build their own elite force, and this force, just like Ghost, attacked the Empire everywhere, making Imperial military extremely annoyed but could not catch them.
In this constant struggle, Padmé-Amidala, in the name of 'leader', became the existence that Galactic Empire wanted to get rid of.
But Galactic Empire did not connect the 'leader' with the former Naboo Senator. Because Padmé-Amidala is already a dead person. Imperial Intelligence Department No matter how much you check, you will never find a dead person.
And Padmé-Amidala's speech will also slightly change her voice, making her voice deeper and more magnetic. Most of the Rebel Alliance warriors who have met her do not actually know the former Naboo Senator, and these people stand together because of their firm beliefs, and they will never betray Padmé.
In fact, Das-Vader had a feeling that Padmé-Amidala might not be dead yet, but it was impossible for him to tell others this feeling.
So, this became the 'leader'—the powerful leader Rebel Alliance!
