2584. Broken ambition
Mina-Tills laughed crazily. Ever since she was exiled on unfounded charges during Clone Wars, she has seen through the nature of this dark and chaotic galaxy.
She also completely understood that Mon Calamari and Quarren could never coexist peacefully. There are only two ways in which these two races can coexist - one side enslaves the other, or else, one side destroys the other side.
There is no third way.
Therefore, she decisively accepted the olive branch extended by Chancellor of the Republic Sheev-Palpatine and accepted his assistance. Although she knew very well that Palpatine was just to place a useful chess piece on Dak Planet, but she didn't care!
Mina-Tills At that time, the choice had already been made!
She wants to destroy Quarren and kill all Quarren! Not a single one left!
She deeply realized that in the civil war thousands of years ago, they Mon Calamari were too merciful. If all Quarren had been killed and the clan exterminated back then, nothing in the future would have happened.
What kind of bullshit educational policies are all rubbish that have no other purpose except to impress oneself! Facts have proved that, except for the one or two generations of Quarren who accepted the indoctrination policy, all subsequent Quarren are extremely hostile to Mon Calamari!
Mina-Tills, with the help of Palpatine, has been operating secretly on Dak Planet for many years. She quickly rose up in Mon Calamari's political circles with her strong political, organizational skills and connections. She did not show up personally, but cultivated batches of elites. Now, most of those people hold high positions in various departments of Mon Calamari.
Originally, based on the position of Dak Planet, both Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn were beyond the reach of this place located on the edge of Eastern Territory. Ever since Confederacy of Independent Systems was defeated and destroyed, Eastern Territory no longer has any force that can compete with Dak Planet!
Because the industrial and technological strength of Dak Planet is directly comparable to the industrial world of Core Worlds!
Even Confederacy of Independent Systems at its peak, Quarren Isolation League, which was split from Dak Planet, directly became the guest of Count Dooku and the core crew member of Confederacy of Independent Systems; and Quarren Isolation League has since Dak Planet took away some resources and technology, and established Freedom Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps, which immediately became Confederacy of Independent Systems's largest industrial enterprise; and the Port Pament they built directly became Confederacy of Independent Systems's largest interstellar shipyard!
These are just some things that Dak Planet leaked out from between his fingers.
The reason why they are so miserable among Clone Wars is actually not more because of lack of strength, but because on the one hand they are limited by the internal friction between the two races, and on the other hand, it is also because they are completely insufficiently prepared for war.
It is precisely because of this that Mina-Tills hates Quarren deeply. She believes that it is the existence of Quarren that prevents Mon Calamari from expanding externally and establishing a regional power amid constant internal friction. At the same time, it was precisely because of the collusion between Quarren and Separatists that Mon Calamari faced the current situation.
But now, things are different!
Mina-Tills has this confidence. In this Eastern Territory, which is far away from the two major spheres of influence of the Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn, they have established a powerful regional hegemon of Mon Calamari. For this reason, she has been secretly preparing for war with the support of Palpatine, and this is very easy for Mon Calamari.
Think about what a developed ocean planet like Dak Planet has to offer!
As an ocean planet, almost the entire planet's endless ocean can provide endless energy, and the use of the planet's space is directly three-dimensional. From the surface of the water to the shallow water of tens of meters to the deep sea of tens of thousands of meters, it is all available space! Whether it is building buildings in the ocean or developing planting and fishing, this can all be done on-site.
Not only that, ocean planets can also isolate most detection methods, and foreign invaders cannot adapt to the ocean environment at all.
Therefore, Dak Planet except Orbital Bombardment, they can ignore all other methods.
Even now, Dak Planet still has endless development potential. Dak Planet has a population of 27 billion and five native intelligent races, but it still does not seem crowded at all.
In addition, for thousands of years, the most important industrial system on Dak Planet was built by Mon Calamari themselves, and even when Quarren was at its most powerful, their role was only the supply of raw materials. Located in the deep sea, they mainly make money by mining deep sea minerals for Mon Calamari.
Therefore, it is actually very easy for Mina-Tills to do something within their own area of influence, and they will not be discovered at all.
After so many years of preparation, Mina-Tills has all the conditions to dominate!
However, all of this was completely destroyed by a star gate on Lothal Planet!
The completion of the Stargate eliminated the geographical advantage that was the basis of the Mina-Tills dominance plan. Kingdom of Dawn's invincible fleet can easily travel from the mainland to Eastern Territory, and then directly shatter Dak Planet's dream of dominance.
Mina-Tills even felt that the reason why Kingdom of Dawn asked the Givin to go to Lothal Planet to occupy the magpie nest and build the star gate at Lothal Planet was simply intentional! Tang Xiao's fundamental plan is to come for them Dak Planet!
Therefore, she could only retreat and cooperate with the Galactic Empire again. This time, she could only play her role as a vassal of the Galactic Empire in exchange for military assistance from the Galactic Empire.
She must destroy Lothal Planet's star gate and defeat Kingdom of Dawn fleet. Then, Dak Planet can continue to dominate the plan.
Mina-Tills All actions are based on this premise. She also once thought that her plan was about to succeed!
Galactic Empire sent Eastern Territory with a whole main fleet and an invincible super battleship. This super battleship can even easily destroy Kingdom of Dawn's super battleship Destruction. With this strength foundation, coupled with the Rebel Alliance's sabotage actions and Mon Calamari Deep Sea Fleet's support, destroying Lothal Planet's star gate and defeating General Grievous is just around the corner!
However, what Garrosh-Tarkin said completely shattered her dream!
Only then did Mina-Tills realize that their years of hard work and years of layout were nothing in front of the Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn! The inadvertent actions of these two real overlords were enough to destroy all her plans.
The construction of the Stargate, the loss of control of the super battleship, the betrayal of the Empire... all of these occurrences, for Mon Calamari, are all major events related to the survival of the race, but for Kingdom of Dawn and Galactic Empire, they may just be a sneeze.
That's right, Galactic Empire just wants to use them as cannon fodder, and Kingdom of Dawn only wants to use them as a fruit in the expansion process.
Years of hard work, like a mirror in the mirror, are completely shattered...
In the conference room, all the senior leaders of Mon Calamari radicals were stunned. They also could not accept this fact.
Gial-Akbar sighed, stood up, and said slowly, "Okay, it's over. Let's end this farce..."
Mina-Tills opened her eyes suddenly, and she roared loudly, "No! It's not over yet! Not!!"
"Stop making trouble!!" Gial-Akbar roared suddenly, his voice was extremely loud, and the majesty of a soldier was clearly revealed at this moment, "Are you going to let all Mon Calamari be buried with you?!"
"No!" Mina-Tills was not afraid at all. She looked directly into General Ackbar's eyes and said, "You can arrest me! Arrest everyone present! Give it to Quarren, give it to Kingdom of Dawn! In this way, the civil war will subside. But your mission has not been completed yet!"
Gial-Akbar's hand that originally stretched out to grab Mina-Tills suddenly froze. He did not expect that she had already made such a decision.
Mina-Tills's voice became extremely sad, "Deep Sea Fleet is the last thing I left to Mon Calamari. This fleet cannot be destroyed like this, nor can it be destroyed by Kingdom of Dawn gets...Deep Sea Fleet, you should fight for Mon Calamari's freedom and independence! You, General Ackbar... you are already our only hope."
This time, it was Gial-Akbar's turn to freeze. After a long time, he slowly asked, "You should know... In this way, I, who abandoned my home planet and my race, will become the sinner of Mon Calamari. I left ten billion compatriots in Dak Planet to be slaughtered by others, while I flew far away to carry out a struggle that may never see the result..."
"Only you... can do it." Mina-Tills said firmly, "Please! General Ackbar!"
All the core figures of Mon Calamari present also came out of their seats and saluted deeply to Gial-General Ackbar.
There are still three hours left in the ultimatum given by Kingdom of Dawn to Mon Calamari.
Among the five Divinity-class battleships undergoing renovations at Port Pament, the two that were less damaged have arrived at Dak Planet, preparing to attack the orbital facilities of Mon Calamari.
At the same time, Lin Nanyi also ordered Light Cruiser Squadron, who was cutting off the traffic channel of Dak Planet, to quickly maneuver to Dak Planet and reinforce Divinity-class battleship.
Quarren leader Nossori is also mentally prepared for the outbreak of a full-scale civil war. He has ordered the Quarren army to begin emergency mobilization.
Once the civil war breaks out, millions of Quarren soldiers will launch a full-scale attack on all Mon Calamari cities!
However, at this moment, things suddenly changed dramatically.
Mon Calamari Supreme Military Commander, Gial-General Ackbar suddenly stood up and announced that Mon Calamari army had the entire situation under control, and Mina-Tills and all the top radicals were arrested!
They would be tried for treason by a military tribunal and, after that, sent to Coral City and handed over to Nossori for their rehabilitation.
At the same time, Gial-General Ackbar also announced that Mon Calamari will accept the rule of Kingdom of Dawn, voluntarily become a vassal of Kingdom of Dawn, and sever all ties with the Galactic Empire.
Not only that, all Mon Calamari armed forces will lay down their weapons and surrender within one hour.
Mina-Tills's previous decision to abolish the monarchy and establish a governor-general's council system was invalidated on the spot. Mon Calamari will establish a military government with Gial-General Ackbar as Temporary Regent, and will fully cooperate with the selection of the new king planned by Nossori.
At the same time, Gial-Akbar promised that no matter who the king's candidate was or what race he was, he would accept it.
This was a complete 180-degree turn, leaving everyone including Lin Nanyi and Nossori unable to recover for a while.
Mon Calamari A few minutes ago, they showed a posture of resisting to the end, but a few minutes later, they completely obeyed and gave up all resistance?
However, things developed so smoothly.
An hour later, all the Mon Calamari armed forces laid down their weapons and surrendered. Not only that, but more than 30 core leaders of all the radical factions, including Mina-Tills, were also escorted to Nossori.
Nossori was overjoyed. The civil war that had been imminent completely disappeared in this moment. He quickly started work to appease Mon Calamari, and cooperated with General Ackbar's work as much as possible to prepare for Mon Calamari's regime change after Mina-Tills.
The election of the new king is also on the agenda again.
Nossori also took care of Mon Calamari's emotions as much as possible. He constantly declared that Quarren and Mon Calamari are equal, and the development of Dak Planet cannot be separated from the joint efforts of the two races. He also publicly promised again that the new king will still be born among Mon Calamari.
Quarren will serve as the prime minister of Dak Planet.
At the same time, a detailed star map was also sent to Lin Nanyi. This star map surprisingly includes the hyperspace channel used by the Galactic Empire to raid Lothal Planet!
For a time, all the conditions put forward by Kingdom of Dawn were met.
Of course, Lin Nanyi has no excuse to attack Mon Calamari. After all, it really makes the other party anxious, and it is also a very difficult existence to deal with.
Mon Calamari Of course we need sanctions, but not now.
Because at this time, they have more important things to do - the Eye of Palpatine!
Lin Nanyi took Dak Planet's report to the bridge command center of the flagship Sun God, and found General Grievous, who was still standing next to the holographic star map like a sculpture. He whispered, "General, Mon Calamari has announced a total surrender. They also handed over the masterminds behind this incident - Mina-Tills. The data of the hyperspace channel used by the Galactic Empire to attack Lothal Planet has also been sent."
However, as soon as he heard the news, the color in General Grievous's eyes disappeared instantly, and his eyes no longer had any sparkle.
He said slowly, "Now, fly 'Gift Ship' to Targon Planet, and the Eye of Palpatine will naturally control it. The rest... I'll leave it to you."
"General!" Lin Nanyi suddenly felt something was wrong.
However, immediately after, I saw General Grievous's body falling to the ground with a thud like a puppet with its strings cut off, making no sound.
