2456. Hari Seldon New Deal
"... To sum up, we have to get used to the existence of the Rebel Alliance. We must understand that the liberalism they believe in is a deformed thought model that has been growing for 25,000 years! This is not a problem that can be solved by our simple persuasion or blockade of public opinion. This is the model that the people in the area once ruled by Galactic Republic believed in from generation to generation!"
"Dealing with the Rebel Alliance and liberalism is a long-term and arduous struggle. Just like cancer cells, it is difficult to forcibly eradicate. We can only strengthen the immune system and gradually purify it. Now, both we and Galactic Empire are constantly suffering from the poison of this cancer cell. The only difference is who suffered more severely. What we have to do is not to hope that Rebel Alliance will be completely eliminated in one or two times, but to compete with the Galactic Empire to see who can survive longer under the ravages and abuse of the Rebel Alliance!"
"In other words, we will be in a two-front battle with the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance for a long time! Maybe Rebel Alliance does not have a huge fleet or heavy armor, but they are everywhere and they can get support from anywhere! And these supports are not limited to funds, weapons, equipment, intelligence, and even our internal instigation of rebellion."
"We must understand that 98.1% of Kingdom of Dawn's population structure are indigenous people from various planets and immigrants from other planets, and these 98.1% of the population have a natural tendency to accept liberal ideas. Therefore, give up all illusions and digest them step by step. At the same time, military victory on the front line is still an important guarantee for the rationality and legitimacy of our regime! It must be a two-pronged approach!"
Kingdom of Dawn Capital, Dawn Planet High Command At the Planet High Command meeting, Hari Seldon, as the Secretary-General of General Office of the Prime Minister's Office, was speaking on behalf of Kingdom of Dawn Prime Minister's Office on the stage.
Although the audience includes Chief of Staff Qi Jian, Prime Minister of the Cabinet Helmut-Zemo, Minister of Defense Cheng Shitao, Commander of the Navy Matt-Hona and so on are the most powerful people in the entire Kingdom of Dawn, but Hari Seldon, who is only 32 years old, has no stage fright at all. His language is clear and orderly, clear and logical, and he has conducted a profound analysis of the existence and thoughts of the Rebel Alliance.
Then, Hari Seldon raised his hand very firmly and said loudly in a loud voice, "Now that Rebel Alliance and liberalism have completely exploded, the ultimate goal of Kingdom of Dawn has not changed - capturing Coruscant is our first priority! And at the appropriate time, support Rebel Alliance and re-establish New Republic! In order to achieve this goal, we can even give up Coruscant and let Rebel Alliance rebuild the capital there!"
Many big shots in the audience nodded, but there were also many voices of opposition. Commander of the Navy Matt-Marshal Horner knocked on the table and asked, "But have you thought about it, once you let Rebel Alliance rebuild New Republic, and the establishment of the capital in Coruscant, will this further strengthen the immortal myth of Galactic Republic for 25,000 years? Will it lead to more deep-rooted liberal thoughts?"
Hari Seldon nodded and said, "Of course it will. So by then, it will be a head-on confrontation between us and the liberal trend of thought. But this confrontation is not a giant ship or cannon, or a torrent of armor, but a soft confrontation of politics, economy, and people's livelihood. Rebel Alliance The emergence of is born with malnutrition. They lack heavy industry and technological research and development. Facing the unified and powerful us, they will inevitably make a lot of compromises in order to compete, and the compromises will become the subtle cracks in this seemingly glorious and flawless gem of freedom."
"Compared with confronting the invisible and intangible Rebel Alliance and liberal ideological trends, it is obviously easier to confront the New Republic with a political entity. Even some extremely stubborn liberals in our country will take the initiative to go to the New Republic and then be completely eliminated by us!"
Matt-Marshal Horner thought for a while, and he exchanged glances with Cheng Shitao beside him. They both nodded and stopped talking.
At this time, Helmut-Zemo raised his hand and asked, "So what about the current situation of our country? Is it necessary to maintain this cycle of uprising, suppression, uprising, and suppression?"
Hari Seldon said very seriously, "First of all, this cycle will always exist. Don't doubt it. It will also involve part of our strength and cannot be saved. At the same time, establishing a rapid strike fleet, dividing more detailed defense zones in each star region, and establishing local defense fleets are very important plans. So, the following are several suggestions made by Prime Minister's Office."
He clicked on the console, and the holographic projection in the middle of the conference room listed the proposals and basis one by one, and then said, "The most important point is to implement a limited planetary autonomy system in Southern Territory Free Trade Zone."
He pressed a few more buttons to enlarge a partial star map in the holographic projection and said, "Southern Free Trade Zone includes Terminus Planet, Tatooine, Christophsis and other areas. Because this star area is relatively remote and the economy is not developed, The management cost of planets is extremely high, so Free Trade Zone was established to allow those planets to maintain autonomy while recognizing the identity of Kingdom of Dawn. At the same time, Christophsis will serve as the core of Free Trade Zone and maintain a strong political and military presence."
"Free Trade Zone is adjacent to Hutt Space. Currently, Hutt is still internally unstable, and may resonate with Free Trade Zone, causing a chaotic situation. But as far as our policy is concerned, such chaos is actually what we need... As long as Christophsis remains stable, this is the only requirement."
"The existence of Southern Free Trade Zone will be a temporary container for us to channel and accommodate liberals and Rebel Alliance before the birth of New Republic. If they want freedom, we can give it to Southern Territory." Hari Seldon drew a circle with his hands, "Making Rebel Alliance from invisible to tangible is our core strategy!"
After Hari Seldon finished speaking, he began to elaborate on the remaining issues, "Next is the control of public opinion..."
He talked eloquently, put forward dozens of effective administrative policies, and answered many questions of everyone present very calmly, without any omissions, so that most of these issues were passed at this meeting.
