2583. A blow to the head (Part 1)
Dak Planet, capital, Coral City (Coral City).
This is one of the most beautiful cities in the entire galaxy. This city is composed of both sea and underwater parts. It is very large in scale. All the buildings are integrated and full of beauty.
And just like its name, Coral City is built in the middle of an extremely huge coral reef. Especially the underwater part of the city is surrounded by countless colorful coral reefs, making the whole city look all kinds of charming.
Countless Mon Calamari are roaming freely in it, enjoying the beauty that this paradise-like city brings to them.
On the other hand, Coral City is also responsible for the planet's orbital defense.
Coral City and Dak Planet Together with two other giant water cities - Foamwander City (Foamwander City) and Reef Home City (Reef Home City), they have built a very powerful orbital defense system.
Thanks to the inexhaustible energy of the ocean planet, the three giant water cities can continuously decompose nuclear fusion fuel from seawater, and then convert it into extremely powerful energy through huge reactors, which can be used to attack targets on the periphery of the planet.
Three Planetary Shield Generators of Dak Planet are also built in these three cities.
Therefore, although Dak Planet is an ocean planet, once it suffers Orbital Bombardment, its losses will be much greater than ordinary rocky planets. However, before bombing can reach the surface of the planet, it needs to face these three huge cities with almost unlimited energy, plus the three-dimensional defense of a large number of orbiting space stations around the planet.
Coupled with Dak Planet's developed industrial system and the large-scale fleet they established, this planet has become a difficult nut to crack.
Therefore, whenever the invasion of Dak Planet is carried out, it must first start from the inside. For example, during the Clone Wars period, Count Dooku also first instigated Quarren, and then launched an attack from within.
All three cities were founded by Mon Calamari and are also in the hands of Mon Calamari. This is also the reason why Mon Calamari has been the master of the planet for tens of thousands of years. Even if Quarren got help from Kingdom of Dawn and once suppressed Mon Calamari, Nossori could only let King Lee-Char, Mon Calamari, serve as the king of Dak Planet.
But now, in Coral City, the clouds of civil war have once again shrouded the city.
Whether in the water city or in the water Lower City city, the tense atmosphere is spreading. All civilians returned to their homes and did not dare to come out. However, armed confrontations were taking place outside almost every key facility in the city!
Quarren and Mon Calamari each dispatched armed defense forces. Quarren wanted to march towards the city hall and the palace, but Mon Calamari set up checkpoints at every traffic artery to block the opponent's progress.
Both sides have not yet received instructions to fire, so for the time being, they are just pointing weapons such as special underwater blasters and harpoon guns at each other.
Civil war is about to break out!
Not only within the city, but also around the city, a large number of submarines and spaceships also surrounded the city underwater and in the sky. The various vehicles of Mon Calamari and Quarren are facing each other in almost every place.
The trigger of the incident was the assassination of Nossori!
Nossori is the leader of Quarren, both in fact and in spirit. He has long led Quarren to resist the oppression of Mon Calamari. He also single-handedly established Quarren Isolation League and joined Confederacy of Independent Systems as a core member.
In the past few decades, Nossori has been the undisputed Optimus Pillar of Quarren. And he suffered an assassination, which was absolutely unacceptable to the leaders within Quarren.
Before Nossori issued an order, Quarren from all over the country spontaneously mobilized. They took up arms and demanded that Mon Calamari hand over the murderer immediately and give an explanation.
If Nossori had not escaped assassination with the help of Salarian special forces, Dak Planet would have been caught in a bloody storm now!
Under such a situation, Nossori stood up and issued a public statement, stating that the assassination was the work of a few radical elements among Mon Calamari and that the finger should not be pointed at Mon Calamari as a whole. He also asked Quarren leaders to exercise restraint and not to provoke civil war.
Having said that, he did not ask Quarren's armed forces to retreat, but continued to maintain a confrontation.
At the same time, Nossori also announced that former member Mon Calamari Mina-Tills had returned to Dak Planet. He said Mina-Tills is a wanted criminal for war crimes. Her return is to bring war to Dak Planet, and the mastermind behind this assassination is Mina-Tills!
He demanded that Mon Calamari should immediately arrest Mina-Tills, and then start negotiations between the two communities as soon as possible to seek a peaceful solution.
Lin Nanyi, the representative of Kingdom of Dawn, also expressed his support for Nossori through remote speech. He also strongly demanded that Mon Calamari immediately take responsibility for the three assassinations. If a satisfactory answer cannot be given, then Mon Calamari will be fully attacked by Kingdom of Dawn.
He also said that Kingdom of Dawn has dispatched an investigation team to Dak Planet to investigate and supervise this matter.
However, the statements of Nossori and Lin Nanyi did not receive a positive response from Mon Calamari.
Under the attention of countless people, Mon Calamari's response was crazy! Mina-Tills actually appeared in public directly and issued a declaration stating that Dak Planet should be called Mon Calamari since ancient times! Mon Calamari is the master of the planet and requires Kingdom of Dawn to stop interfering in the internal affairs of the planet.
Not only that, Mina-Tills publicly announced that the monarchy system would be abolished and replaced by a governor-general council system, and he would serve as the first governor of Mon Calamari. Also create Planet Council.
Facing the pressure from Quarren and Kingdom of Dawn, Mina-Tills just said lightly that the three assassinations had nothing to do with her. She was committed to Mon Calamari's freedom and independence and had absolutely no intention of provoking a civil war. There is someone else behind these assassinations.
In addition, Mina-Tills also hinted at something strange. Givin Governor Kobori was found dead near the spaceport when he was not resting at the mansion in the middle of the night. This must indicate that he was doing something shady.
This series of actions immediately angered Quarren and Lin Nanyi, which was equivalent to adding another fire to an already very tense situation!!
Lin Nanyi immediately made a strong statement, and Kingdom of Dawn's ultimatum to Mon Calamari is still valid!
Mina-Tills said directly that Mon Calamari is willing to fight to the end for freedom. Kingdom of Dawn is still blocking the route from Mon Calamari to Perlemian Trade Route, which already constitutes aggression. If Kingdom of Dawn does not withdraw, then Mon Calamari will not accept any conditions!
Dak Planet's civil war is about to break out! Lin Nanyi has also reported to General Grievous at this moment, saying that the situation in Dak Planet is likely to be out of control, and preparations for armed occupation of the planet should be made as soon as possible.
However, General Grievous was noncommittal about this.
Under such a tense situation, a Lambda-class shuttlecraft secretly entered the Dak Planet under the condition of absolute confidentiality.
The Lambda-class shuttlecraft landed on the vast ocean. A submarine helped it dock with the shuttle. The submarine then dived directly to a secret base in the deep sea.
The submarine hatch opened, and the first people who walked out were four the Empire Stormtrooper wearing white combat armor, and then, Imperial Admiral Garrosh-Tarkin wearing white Imperial General uniform walked out.
Seeing Garrosh coming, Mina-Tills immediately greeted her with a smile on her face. This look was completely different from the crazy look she had in front of Nossori before.
"General Garrosh, welcome to your arrival." Mina-Tills bowed deeply and then said, "Mon Calamari is ready for war. Just waiting for your order, our Deep Sea Fleet will immediately launch an attack on Lothal Planet."
Garrosh-Tarkin's expression was a little hesitant. He thought for a while and asked, "You mentioned your Deep Sea Fleet to me more than once. Where is this fleet now? How many battleships are there?"
Mina-Tills said with a slight smile, "Please allow me to keep it a secret, Admiral Garrosh. After all, this is a life-threatening secret for Mon Calamari. But I assure you, although Deep Sea Fleet cannot compete with Kingdom of Dawn's main fleet, it is completely fine to create enough trouble for them."
Garrosh-Tarkin sighed, closed his eyes and stopped talking. He waved his hand to signal Mina-Tills to lead the way, and the group walked directly into the command center of the secret base.
Here, including the Mon Calamari supreme military commander Gial-General Ackbar, the core leaders of the Mon Calamari main war faction are all here.
Mina-Tills invited Garrosh-Tarkin to sit at the top of the conference room, and then said excitedly, "Now all our preparations have been completed! With the generous help of the Galactic Empire, Lothal Planet's star gate has been destroyed, and Kingdom of Dawn's reinforcements have been cut off! Now is the best opportunity to completely defeat Grievous and drive Kingdom of Dawn's power out of Eastern Territory!"
She turned to face Garrosh-Tarkin and said, "General, please make combat arrangements!"
Garrosh-Tarkin's expression kept changing. He shook his head, sighed again, and said nothing.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. After a long time, Mina-Tills finally couldn't bear the atmosphere. She asked, "General Garrosh? Galactic Empire, are there any other difficulties?"
Garrosh-Tarkin then opened his eyes and said a little tiredly, "There are no reinforcements, no."
"Kingdom of Dawn indeed has no reinforcements, we have confirmed it." Mina-Tills said.
Garrosh-Tarkin seemed to have made up his mind, stood up suddenly, and said loudly, "Enough! Stop this farce!! Galactic Empire, it is impossible to send troops to reinforce Dak Planet!"
Mina-Tills's whole body seemed to freeze instantly. Her body was trembling visibly, and the smile on her face was uglier than crying. "General Garrosh... you... stop joking... now is the best opportunity! The Empire's main fleet cooperates with super battleship the Eye of Palpatine will attack Grievous's fleet from both sides. Rebel Alliance will launch an uprising at Lothal Planet, destroy the spaceport, and cut off supplies. Then our Deep Sea Fleet will completely destroy the stargate, and then quickly come to besiege Grievous!"
She spoke faster and faster, "Is there any better opportunity than this? Don't you want to completely eliminate Grievous here?"
"No! None!" Garrosh-Tarkin said loudly, "The Eye of Palpatine has lost control! We have no way to issue any combat orders to it!!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.
Garrosh continued, "You have all been deceived by the Galactic Empire! Gideon-Tarkin never thought of giving you so-called citizenship rights! All non- Human race has no human rights in the Galactic Empire! Even if Grievous can be eliminated, the result waiting for you will still be enslavement by the Empire!"
"But..."
"No buts! Do you know what Gideon-Tarkin wants me to do? He wants me to deceive you! He wants me to make you send troops to attack Lothal Planet immediately! In this way, he can get It's time to find a way to reactivate the Eye of Palpatine! Do you understand? He just wants to use your lives to delay it!" Garrosh-Tarkin said almost angrily.
Gial-Akbar said in a deep voice, "Then, this is not just a problem of one fleet. We cannot fight against General Grievous's fleet alone. Once the battle fails, we will be retaliated by Kingdom of Dawn, and even massacred..."
"They won't care." Garrosh-Tarkin shook his head in pain.
Mina-Tills almost collapsed. She jumped up and pointed at Garrosh's nose and yelled angrily, "You bastard! Bastard!! What are you doing here for a loser like you! What are you doing here!!???"
"I want to come over and save your lives!!!" Garrosh pushed back directly, "Lest you be deceived by the Empire and bury all Dak Planet 27 billion people!!!"
Gial-General Ackbar then took a deep breath and asked, "So, which party do you represent now? General Garrosh."
"I am no longer Imperial Admiral. From now on." Garrosh-Tarkin said, directly tearing off his admiral badge and patting it on the table.
With a pop, Mina-Tills fell to the ground weakly. She took the Imperial Admiral badge in her hand and played with it at a loss.
This thing that means supreme authority and can independently command an interstellar fleet is now just an alloy product that is not even exquisite.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Mina-Tills laughed loudly.
"Hahahahahaha!!" Her laughter was so wild, even hoarse, that it was difficult to tell whether she was crying or laughing.
Countless tears were pouring out of her eyes.
"Hahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!" Laughter continued to echo in this secret base.
