2065.Star Wars (Part 2)
After making some arrangements for the Rebel Alliance's actions, Padmé-Amidala went to another separate communication room in the basement, checked the time, and then opened the communication.
After waiting for about a few minutes, the communication was connected, and the image of a mature woman in her thirties was projected in the holographic projection.
It's Imperial Senator from Chandrila, Mothma!
"Sorry, leader. In recent days, Coruscant's patrols have intensified a lot. It took me a little more time to get rid of those patrols." Meng-Mothma also used the term "leader" to address Padmé-Amidala.
In the political arena, Padmé-Amidala are her predecessors. Although she is only two years younger than Padmé, when she first became Chandrila councilor in 32 BBY, and she was Halo, the youngest councilor of Republic Senate, Padmé-Amidala As Naboo Planet Queen, the invasion of Naboo by Trade Federation was eliminated, the former Chancellor Finis Valorum was impeached, and Sheev-Palpatine was promoted to become the new speaker.
However, Meng-Mothma, who was born in a noble family, actually had different opinions with Padmé-Amidala at the beginning. However, as they spent more and more time in the parliament, Meng-Mothma was gradually impressed by the brave, straightforward and intelligent Padmé-Amidala.
Later, in the process of opposing Chancellor Palpatine's dictatorship, those who gradually came together were actually led by Padmé-Amidala.
So for Meng-Mothma, Padmé-Amidala has always been her idol. When Padmé was determined to use force against Emperor Palpatine and started to form Rebel Alliance, Meng-Mothma was the first to stand up and support her, and also used all his resources as much as possible to assist Rebel Alliance's activities.
And she naturally called Padmé-Amidala 'leader'.
Padmé-Amidala smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. Seeing that you are safe and sound is the most important thing to me. If this action hadn't been so important, I wouldn't have wanted to involve you too much."
"No, all of this is necessary." Meng-Mothma shook his head and said seriously, "I have made all preparations, including going into exile. As long as I can overthrow the reactionary rule of Sith Lord and restore fairness and freedom to the galaxy, I am willing to pay any price."
She paused and then said, "Yesterday Bail-Senator Organa has formally submitted an impeachment complaint to Imperial Senate. The Empire 14th Army All the corrupt behaviors of Governor Ulooda have been proven conclusive. Today's meeting will officially start The impeachment process will be launched, and Supreme Imperial Court will also participate. According to the previous arrangement, I will still defend Ulooda from the position of the loyalists and confront Bail-Senator Organa. But if nothing happens, Ulooda will be removed."
Padmé said, "But this is just the beginning. The Empire will appoint a new governor soon, and we cannot let this happen quickly."
"Faxi (Fathy) is ready. He will compete for the position of Governor 14th Army. This will be a destructive competition, and the purpose is to delay the time for the 14th Army's overall situation to be settled." Meng-Mothma said, "But... what on earth are you going to do to get Ryloth out of the Empire's rule?"
But Padmé shook his head and said, "The fewer people know about the complete picture of a plan, the better. Sorry, Senator Mothma, I can't let you know this part. It will only increase your risk."
Meng-Mothma nodded and said, "I understand, leader. I will do my part well to ensure that Ulooda's impeachment motion is successful and delay the emergence of the 14th Army's new governor. Everything will be done as per Proceed as planned. In addition, I am also trying to raise more funds, but recently Palpatine has also noticed some abnormal fund outflows. He ordered a thorough investigation of the finances of 29 planets, and Chandrila is on the list."
"Then you try to be careful. I will solve the financial problem. Don't expose yourself because of this trivial matter. If you need to settle the account, I can also use our funds to come and help." Padmé-Amidala said.
"It's okay so far. I can pass part of the gap onto Faxi. He may be accused of corruption, but you also know that corruption charges are probably the most common thing in the Empire's officialdom. Faxi's the Will is very determined, and he knows what he should do." Meng-Mothma said.
"Then you should be more careful. After tomorrow's meeting, please reply to me as soon as possible." Padmé nodded.
"Okay, leader." Meng-Mothma smiled slightly, saluted Padmé, and then closed the communication.
Padmé-Amidala was not over yet, she connected to another communication, "General Dodonna, are your battleships ready?"
At the other end of the communication was a middle-aged man wearing Galaxy Imperial Navy uniform. Judging from his badge, his current military rank was Major General.
Jane-Dodonna, formerly Lieutenant General Galactic Republic Navy, and Lieutenant General Skaride jointly commanded Rendili system campaign, but suffered a disastrous defeat due to Sefrans-Tann's strategy. Later, he was abandoned by Galactic Republic, but later through a series of efforts, he returned to the army again and was promoted to Rear Admiral.
He smoothed his curly hair casually and said, "The two Imperial-class Star Destroyers are in good condition, almost as if they had just left the factory. But according to the records on the battleships, they are already meritorious battleships that have experienced more than 20 battles... It's strange. The 'donor' you told me about has very clever methods. I think at least they are at the level of Admiral of the Navy in the the Empire army."
Padmé-Amidala said, "Don't worry about the origins of these two Star Destroyers. The more you know, the more dangerous they are."
"So, you are the most dangerous one, aren't you?" Jane-Dodonna smiled.
"That's enough. We can't let this risk expand." Padmé said, "Since these two Imperial-class Star Destroyer can be used and the identification codes are no problem, your mission can begin. The current 14th Army Governor Ulooda's order, I will send it to you. From today on, you are the reinforcements Commander who Ulooda personally ordered."
"I understand, I will take care of it." Major General Jane-Dodonna smiled, gave a military salute, and ended the communication.
Next, Padmé-Amidala conducted several more communications to arrange all aspects of the plan. If a third party saw her communication list at this time, they would definitely be shocked.
Because the people Padmé contacted at this time involved Galaxy Imperial Senate, the military, administrative agencies, local officials, and a series of high-ranking and powerful people! It's no wonder that she has almost magical powers and knows everything about the Galactic Empire. It's because she has the support of these enlightened officials and military officers!
Padmé-Amidala had a very deep relationship with Galactic Republic military because of Anakin-Skywalker. In addition, she was already very active in Republic Senate, and a large number of congressmen were willing to stand on her side. The combination of various factors allowed her to use many connections to weave a huge network and cover Galactic Empire.
Of course, Palpatine's extremely brutal behavior is also the biggest boost to Padmé-Amidala's influence.
And now, with the support of these people and the planning of Padmé-Amidala, the uprising of Ryloth will deal a heavy blow to the Galactic Empire!
For the Galactic Empire, starting from the second day, the situation of Ryloth was like a wild horse running wild, racing straight away in a completely uncontrollable direction.
First of all, Governor Ulooda, who was originally responsible for rebuilding the Empire 14th Army, was impeached by opposition members Bail-Organa. The opposition members directly submitted a large amount of evidence, clearly pointing out that Ulooda had misappropriated a large amount of funds originally used to rebuild 14th Army and enriched his own pockets.
What's even more unacceptable is that Ulooda is actually connected to several interstellar pirates. After the 14th Army is rebuilt, he plans to use these pirates to support the pirates' self-esteem, improve the status of the 14th Army, and make himself more powerful.
Such solid accusations forced Ulooda to leave Ryloth, the headquarters of the 14th Army, and go to Imperial Center (formerly Coruscant) to attend the meeting.
But until the impeachment proceedings are completed, Ulooda will still be Governor 14th Army. However, the worst part is that because the evidence against him is very conclusive, Ulooda must devote himself wholeheartedly to dealing with this crisis that is related to his entire political career during this period.
What's even better is that Ulooda seems to have the support of some members of Congress led by Meng-Mothma. They continue to help Ulooda clear his name, and are in tit-for-tat confrontation with Bail-Organa's opposition members, further delaying the impeachment that should have been certain.
Ulooda never thought that the pirates who came to discuss cooperation at that time were actually members of the Rebel Alliance. They had always robbed the official supply ships of the Galactic Empire, but they did not rob private merchant ships. But for the Galactic Empire, there seems to be no difference between the two. They are both pirates anyway.
Just when Ulooda was struggling with Imperial Center, two Nightwatcher-class frigates that were going to Ryloth to strengthen their mobile patrol force according to the original plan were intercepted near the planet Tythe (Tythe). What stopped them was a formation of two Imperial-class Star Destroyer ships commanded by Major General Imperial Navy Jane-Dodonna.
Major General Jane-Dodonna directly presented 14th Army's order from Governor Ulooda, requesting to take over the two Nightwatcher-class frigate. Although the Commander of these two frigates were a little confused, it was impossible to go to the Governor Ulooda for confirmation now, and the two Imperial-class Star Destroyer were actually here, so they still chose to believe it.
Then, the two Nightwatcher-class frigate were replaced immediately - Jane-Dodonna simply requested a meeting and boarded the warship. A team of extremely elite Rebel Alliance warriors wearing Imperial Navy uniform completely occupied the two frigates in less than ten minutes.
So at this time, Jane-Dodonna had two Imperial-class Star Destroyer and two Nightwatcher-class frigate, and also had real transfer orders obtained from the frigate Commander.
When his powerful formation, which was completely beyond the plan, arrived at Ryloth, the governor's adjutant who stayed behind Ryloth had almost no doubts - Imperial Navy had a strict hierarchy, and Commander of a squadron was not someone he, the adjutant, dared to offend.
If 14th Army has completed reconstruction and the army and fleet have been assigned, then the adjutant can completely ignore a mere squadron. But now, 14th Army has just restored its number, and their governor is still guilty. Under such circumstances, the adjutant naturally does not dare to have any thoughts about Jane-Dodonna, Fleet Commander who has just been transferred from Imperial Center.
The current 14th Army is completely chaotic, lacking unified command and leaderless. Jane-Dodonna also struck while the iron was hot. He showed off his official power during the meeting, put on airs and scolded the original Commander, and then demanded that all warships be immediately integrated together for reorganization and reorganization.
In fact, in this matter, the two Imperial-class Star Destroyer led by Major General Dodonna played the most critical role. Because if he leads only two Victory-class, or two Aquatens-class, his words will not be very convincing at all.
But now the strength of the two Imperial-class Star Destroyer and two Nightwatcher-class frigate he brought was directly similar to the strength of the original Ryloth garrison fleet. Now he was directly appointed by Imperial Center. The appointment also had the signature of the governor Ulooda, so the garrison Fleet Commander accepted the reorganization without much doubt.
And what does regrouping mean? As a reminder, there were originally two Imperial-class Star Destroyers in the garrison fleet, but the Mariness above the two Imperial-classs are now stationed on the planet's surface. But the two Imperial-class Star Destroyer brought by Major General Jane-Dodonna are full!
Two entire legions, 18,000 Rebel Alliance warriors!
When reorganizing, the crews of both sides will also be reorganized. So facing 18,000 elite Rebel Alliance warriors, the entire garrison fleet changed owners without firing a shot!
At the same time, on the Ryloth ground, Tusken immediately rose up and launched an uprising. A large number of Tusken fighters picked up a large number of weapons obtained from unknown sources, stormed the municipal centers of various cities, and arrested the Empire officials.
However, the uprising slogans put forward by these Tusken Rebel Alliance were unexpected. They claimed that their uprising was to support Planet Governor Ulooda! They demand that Galactic Empire immediately withdraw all accusations against Ulooda and put Ulooda back into Ryloth!
