2138. The beginning and end of Trade Federation (5)
Galactic Empire's military police were dispatched everywhere and began to hunt down Trade Federation's senior personnel. But those senior executives are all as fast as loaches. Don't doubt it, they are Neimoidian. When it comes to being cowardly and timid, no one can compare with them.
They can't even talk about bullying the weak and being afraid of the strong, because many times they don't even dare to bully the weak, and they run away as soon as others struggle.
Police and agents from various departments of the Empire began arresting everyone related to Trade Federation. However, they also found that this job is not easy to handle - because if you really want to count them in detail, even in Imperial Center, the people who have more or less business dealings with Trade Federation may have one or two billion if they don't have 30 billion.
And when I asked these people, they all had serious jobs and just had contact with Trade Federation. Otherwise, he is doing business in partnership with a high-ranking official from Trade Federation, or he holds shares in Trade Federation, or he has a merchant fleet entrusting Trade Federation to escort him.
Even if these people really need to be dealt with, how can they be convicted? Make it a crime to do business with Trade Federation? Moreover, after pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud, Imperial Security Bureau would often invite someone to the bureau to drink tea, and then a message from a certain boss would come over and ask for their release.
But do you think they are really okay? Not really. Because they have interests related to Trade Federation, these people are definitely not willing to deal with Trade Federation, and they are stumbling overtly or covertly.
Therefore, not many people were actually arrested, and they were all low-level staff with little background or connections.
But people can run away, but industries cannot.
After the Supreme Court of the Galactic Empire found the Trade Federation guilty of treason in absentia, the Imperial Intelligence Department and the Imperial Security Bureau immediately dispatched a large number of troops to seize all the Trade Federation's industries in the center of the empire.
But this is just a drop in the bucket. Trade Federation set up just an office in the capital Imperial Center, and the former Coruscant. There was some liquidity used for bribery, but it was not much.
But it doesn't matter, there are still spaceports, docks, transfer centers built by Trade Federation around Imperial Center, and all the cargo that stays in the cargo transfer center. With the acquiescence of Emperor Palpatine, Das-Vader did not have time to wait for the fleet to assemble, and directly led a garrison fleet to surround all these places, and then confiscated all assets.
This is basically equivalent to stealing! Because Trade Federation is essentially a logistics and transportation company, and then expands other industries on this basis. Therefore, 99% of the goods staying in the Trade Federation space port belong to other companies, consortiums or individuals.
But now, Darth-Vader doesn't care about this at all. Since you park the goods in Trade Federation's space port, then this is slandering the enemy and treason! All must be confiscated!
This move immediately set off a storm in Imperial Center. Many people cried out for injustice. Moreover, they mobilized various connections through various relationships to get their goods and investments back, but it was to no avail! The people who planned all of this are Emperor of the Empire himself and Imperial military's second-in-command Das-Vader!
In front of these two people, it's useless to look for anyone.
Soon, such robbery operations began to spread from Imperial Center to other star regions, especially the planets Core Worlds and Inner Rim.
Almost everyone related to Trade Federation quickly wanted to withdraw all their investments in Trade Federation, including funds and goods.
However, they were horrified to find that they had also hit a wall with Trade Federation!
Because at the same time that Galactic Empire started robbing Trade Federation's industry, Trade Federation was also robbing their own customers. Anyway, they were all torn apart. Trade Federation was in such a shameless state that all the goods in their spaceport were detained.
A super giant like Trade Federation naturally has its own financial system for payment of goods, mortgage, loan issuance, etc. But now after breaking up, Trade Federation directly froze all the assets of the Galactic Empire on their side!
And compared with the Galactic Empire, it is much more convenient for Trade Federation to rob its own customers. A large number of combat robots immediately began to take action. One second, the B-1 combat robot and B-2 super combat robot were harmlessly helping customers carry supplies. The next second, they picked up Blaster rifle and shot everyone present!
Then these combat robots turned around and transported all the goods to their own spaceships. Not only that, in some places, when they found that Galactic Empire's fleet had arrived and had no time to escape, these robots even directly set fire to the goods or simply turned their turrets and fired wildly!!
Trade Federation's resistance was so fierce, it was completely different from the first few days! At that time, they seemed to want to leave some leeway, but now, Trade Federation is simply posing as a dead end!
Galactic Empire Do you want to eat us? Then if you take this bite, we will have to chip out a few of your teeth!
At this time, people in the Galactic Empire just woke up from their dreams. They originally thought that this was just Galactic Empire trying to clean up a company. If the army was sent out to deal with a group of businessmen, could there be any other twists and turns?
But now they know that this is basically a war! An all-out war between the Galactic Empire and Trade Federation!
Galactic Empire of course has its own invincible fleet and its own powerful military force. But Trade Federation also have their own weapons!
Trade Federation began to compete with the Galactic Empire. Both sides began to rob the various resources and goods staying in the Trade Federation spaceport or warehouse. They would rather destroy them if they could not grab them.
Moreover, Trade Federation began to fly all the cargo ships full of cargo towards its core planet, and also took back almost all the escort fleet, assuming a cowering posture.
Not only that, Trade Federation also cut off all channels leading to Mid Rim and Outer Rim.
The specific navigation coordinates of these many channels are in the hands of Trade Federation. Once they delete all these channel coordinates and stop sharing data with the Galactic Empire, Galactic Empire's spacecraft can only communicate through those major large hyperspace channels.
However, how many galaxies can be covered by the largest hyperspace channels such as Hydian Way and Corellian Trade Route? Therefore, Galactic Empire could only start calculating and exploring again with the expired star map in his hand for many other branched channels.
