213. On the verge of civil war
The environment of Cerea is very pleasant, with a mild climate, rich species, extremely high vegetation coverage, and most importantly, there are no large beasts that can pose a threat to civilization.
But it is also because of this unique environment that Cerean's unique isolationism is caused.
After an exploration company once discovered Cerea, some companies wanted to come here to open their own offices, but without exception, they were driven away by the aboriginal people of Cerea.
They would rather live in village-like settlements than accept any technological means - all the purpose is to maintain the original ecological environment of the planet.
Galactic Republic is very concerned about Cerea because this planet has a very comfortable natural environment and many precious natural plant resources. Not only that, a new planet added to Galactic Republic is also a great help to the crumbling Phineas-Valorum.
In order to get Cerea to join, Galactic Republic also sent many special envoys, including Jedi Knight, who also visited many times. Later, under the leadership of a relatively enlightened leader, Cerea finally opened some policies to Galactic Republic. They built a castle in a remote and desolate part of the planet to receive immigrants from other planets and exchange information with Galactic Republic.
But this situation is not accepted by all Cerean.
In fact, after seeing the convenience brought by Galactic Republic's many high-tech products, many Cerean, especially the younger generation, are very fascinated by Galactic Republic's technology. They continue to launch parades and movements, trying to persuade the planet's top leaders to relax restrictions and accept the technological revolution.
This movement is called 'Technology Movement'.
Technology Movement, with the help of caring people, gradually began to change its taste. The masterminds behind it are Tatooine's gangsters—Hutt, Jabba!
Because Cerea's generous natural environment is not only helpful for those crops, it is also very suitable for growing spices! Moreover, Jabba also wants to introduce Bonta Night Speeder Race to Cerea. If this beautiful and original ecological planet opens up a new track, it will definitely make those racing fans crazy.
Jabba secretly intervened in Cerea's Technology Movement through his good friend and agent Yifent-Meng, hoping to get a share of the pie on this planet.
But things really got out of control because of another thing.
Yifent-Meng once had some friendship with Semir-Tonis, the former regional director of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Yifent also revealed that he wanted to obtain some weapons and material supplies through Semir to help him incite the struggle of Cerea.
But something happened to Semir later, and Yifent-Meng's plan could only be put on hold temporarily.
But then things took a turn for the worse. After Tang Xiao rescued Semir, in order to help Fourth Civilization expand the market and expand its sources of income, Semir gave Tang Xiao introduced Yifent-Meng, and Tang Xiao turned the matter over to Yuri-Orlov!!
Yuri-Orlov gave full play to their specialties and began to secretly smuggle weapons and equipment towards Cerea. Later, Super Lotus came and she easily broke into Yifent-Mona's loophole-filled communication system. Coupled with the eloquent Yuri, Cerea's business was soon taken over by Fourth Civilization.
Although Yifent-Meng was unwilling, he also understood that without the support of Yuri, he would not be able to influence the situation of the entire planet with his limited supply, and this was also the direction of the original plot.
Regardless, things are starting to look different now.
Cerea, castle.
On a specially built high platform, a fat Cerean was giving an impassioned speech. He details the conveniences brought by technology one by one, as well as the safety brought by technology. He constantly emphasized that the introduction of technology will increase the population of the planet, make life easier, and allow people to enjoy many things that were previously unavailable.
And if you have technology to arm yourself, you will no longer be afraid of interstellar pirates. He used a large number of holographic projections as evidence to tell everyone that once heavily armed interstellar pirates come to Cerea, there will be no way for the entire planet to resist!
He showed a beautiful picture in front of everyone, advanced, comfortable and powerful!
Most of the people in the audience were Cerea young people. They cheered and shouted crazily, intoxicated by this beautiful future.
But then, the fat Cerean shouted loudly, "... the wonderful future is in front of us!! Think about it, holographic movies, suspended speed cars, racing competitions, fine food, and weapons powerful enough to protect us from anyone!! But what is standing in front of all this? It is the rotten Elder Council!!"
"Elder Council Those fat-headed elders, in order to protect their rights and status from being threatened, they would rather reject all new technologies! What they reject is our wonderful future! And what they get is only their current rights!! But what do we people get? Nothing!! And what do we lose? A wonderful future!"
The people in the audience roared wildly, and the crowd was excited.
"Join us!! Join Technology Movement! Seek a bright future for us Cerea!!"
After some more incitement, a human man with a crew-cut hair next to him began to assign his subordinates to distribute some small things to the participants. Such as cakes, jelly, and some technological gadgets such as holographic players. Those Cerean were very excited, and many people began to run to the registration office nearby to sign up.
After the rally, the short-haired man walked over and said to the obese Cerean: "Elder Dor Fermi Bonmi, today's speech was very successful. Our movement has added more than 1,000 like-minded friends."
Elder Dor smiled proudly, "This all depends on your help, Mr. Blon."
Ban Cuntou Blon was not polite, nodded and said to Yifent-Meng who was standing aside, "The key to this is the goods delivered by Mr. Yifent and Santa Claus. By the way, why didn't Santa Claus come?"
Yifent-Meng's voice was dull, "He has delivered the goods. When the next time comes, we can execute the plan."
"We will definitely succeed." Blon said with certainty.
"Hahahahaha!" Dor-Femi-Bonmi laughed, "Most of the Cerean Guard under Grand Elder are still using bows, arrows and spears. Although they are large in number, it is not enough evidence!!"
Yifent-Meng slowly said, "The goal is very close. When it is accomplished, Dor you will join Galactic Republic Senate, Blon you will be the plenipotentiary representative of Galactic Republic, and Santa Claus and I will monopolize the trade of Cerea..."
"At that time, the entire Cerea will be our backing!! We will earn a whole planet's money! Hahahaha!!" Blon was extremely proud.
"I will also support my son to become Grand Elder of Cerea, but in time the alliance between the few of us will be unbreakable!" Elder Dor also added.
"Then... if Santa Claus doesn't delay, after 7 standard days, it will be time for us to take action!" Yifent-Meng said seriously.
