2452. A single spark starts a prairie fire.
The idea of liberalism has a long history in the galaxy, and its root is the rule of Galactic Republic that lasted for more than 25,000 years.
But among these 25,000 years, 24,000 years were just establishing the legitimacy and rationality of Galactic Republic in the hearts of the people. In other words, people take it for granted that this galaxy should be ruled by Galactic Republic.
The time when real liberal ideas flourished was after Rusan Reforms more than 1,000 years ago. During that reform, Galactic Republic abandoned almost all military power and claimed to have brought freedom, equality and prosperity to the galaxy.
Equality and prosperity naturally don't exist, but if you think about freedom, there really is. Because most of the time, Galactic Republic's weak central government has no interest or time to manage those Outer Rim and Mid Rim planets.
In addition, there were no very powerful foreign enemies in the Milky Way at that time. At most, they were some interstellar pirates and criminal organizations. Although these organizations were evil, they could not shake the foundation of Galactic Republic. Therefore, in addition to being exploited by Galactic Republic's domestic Mega-corporations, those Mid Rim and Outer Rim planets are indeed in a state of autonomy that no one cares about most of the time.
Moreover, the parliamentary system of Galactic Republic allows those backward planets with a large number of people to have such a stage to make noises and make their voices heard on Republic Senate. And as long as core interests are not involved, the real powerful people Core Worlds are still willing to play this democratic game with them.
Therefore, although the exploitation of those planets by Mega-corporations is very painful, the people of the planet often blame those Mega-corporations. On the contrary, they very much agree with Galactic Republic. Or, rather than identifying with Galactic Republic, it is better to identify with those Galactic Republic who are in everyone's imagination and have brought freedom and peace to everyone.
Of course it's just imagination, because Galactic Republic has almost never appeared in front of the people of these planets.
What you imagine is naturally the most perfect. The result is that although Galactic Empire has now replaced Galactic Republic, the majority of the people still yearn for Galactic Republic and the freedom they once had. Even quite a few Core Worlds dignitaries think so.
In addition, Galactic Empire is actively expanding its military and preparing for war, and has very directly squeezed and plundered Mid Rim and Outer Rim planets. This makes these planets believe that if Galactic Republic is still here, they will never suffer such cruel treatment.
The people at the bottom will naturally not understand that Galactic Republic was eventually destroyed for the same reason.
Even within Kingdom of Dawn, many people on Draon Planet believe that Kingdom of Dawn should follow Galactic Republic and establish an effective democratic system. The most important thing is to give these planets enough autonomy and let them manage their own affairs. Then when these planets need Kingdom of Dawn to appear, you'd better appear immediately to expel pirates and fight crime for us. At most, I will give you some reward after success...
Therefore, such a seemingly absurd, but actually liberal ideological trend that has existed for more than 25,000 years has intensified in this galaxy, and finally, "Declaration of Freedom" was born.
The release of "Declaration of Freedom" clearly pointed out that authoritarian regimes like Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn are backward, barbaric, and anti-civilized. All planets should implement planetary autonomy and racial self-determination, and leave the planets to be managed by indigenous peoples.
And the most provocative sentence is: Every planet should have its own the Will, and the people of the planet will decide the future direction of the planet. Instead of leaving the fate of the planet to Tyrant Dictator like Tang Xiao and Palpatine, let them lead the planet into one war after another that should not be the responsibility of our planet.
As the current war situation intensifies, and both sides have caused tens of billions of casualties in the two wars, such calls are extremely deceptive. Who doesn't want to withdraw from this cruel war, say lightly "I remain neutral", and then sit back and watch the galaxy fight life and death, feeling safe and peaceful?
"Declaration of Freedom" attributes all the responsibility for this war to Tang Xiao and Palpatine, claiming that no planet should be responsible for the war they started. In this case, it is tantamount to draining the bottom of the cauldron!
At the same time when this declaration was released, the sound of smashing things was heard in an office on the two planets Dawn Star Planet and Imperial Center, which are one hundred thousand light years apart.
And Kingdom of Dawn and Galactic Empire also launched operations almost at the same time - they sent fleets to attack all planets that responded to "Declaration of Freedom", and sent secret police to arrest all those who spread similar information. At the same time, the national propaganda machine was also fully activated, carrying out a large number of propaganda activities to attack the legitimacy of "Declaration of Freedom".
But what is very worrying is that these actions have had little effect!
The fleet sent by the Galactic Empire to encircle and suppress them disappeared mysteriously. It is said that there was a split within the fleet and it fell into the trap set by the Rebel Alliance. Four Imperial-classs were captured and the remaining six were destroyed.
And Kingdom of Dawn fleet, because someone at the top level tipped off the information, gave those liberals time to escape.
This shows that Rebel Alliance now has the ability to defeat a small branch fleet, and has penetrated into the top management of the Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn.
At the same time, this also means that Rebel Alliance must have mastered the channels for producing large warships!
At the same time, uprisings broke out in a large number of areas. Demonstrations and strikes are just the mildest of them, including attacks on factories and transportation teams, destruction of communication facilities, large-scale intrusions into HoloNet networks, etc. For a time, the entire galaxy was affected by the wave of liberalism.
The relevant personnel of the Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn are still full of hope. Maybe now is just the climax of those Rebel Alliance after the release of "Declaration of Freedom". But they were all wrong. The current situation of fires and leaks seems to be just the beginning!
10BBY, on April 17, an uprising suddenly broke out among a Kingdom of Dawn transport fleet transporting rare metals. The Commander escorting the warship secretly communicated with the Rebel Alliance personnel and actually hijacked the transport fleet directly!
The Galactic Empire side is even worse. The the Empire treasury they reserved on Aldhani (Aldhani) and used to pay the wages of an entire sector was robbed, and more than one billion funds disappeared. Moreover, these were all hard currency credit ingots!
Thanks to Dao Wu Huaxia for tipping 1500 Qidian Coin!!
