2596, Rainbow line
Such advantages can greatly improve economic efficiency, stimulate competition with each other, and promote technological innovation. Galactic Republic 25,000 prosperity was built under such a political system, and it indeed played a great role.
The explosion of innovation brought about by the free market has allowed Galactic Republic to develop in all aspects of science and technology and culture, and different races have also shined with their individuality in their respective fields. Galactic Republic's peak period indeed came from this.
Not only that, the limited government and democratic parliamentary system also plunged Galactic Republic into never-ending internal friction. In other words, if Jedi Order had not helped the Galactic Republic government to exercise some of its management and law enforcement functions to a large extent, the collapse of the Galactic Republic regime might not have waited until Palpatine took action.
The most serious consequence is that such a policy gave birth to a large number of extremely powerful Mega-Trusts in Galactic Republic, which also caused the economy to develop rapidly in a deformed form. Then, based on these Mega-Trusts, the Core Worlds aristocratic wealthy class was formed.
But the prosperity and freedom that Galactic Republic had once made the poor and backward planets and races of Mid Rim and Outer Rim extremely yearn for it. They attributed the exploitation they suffered to "unfreedom", which was caused by those Mega-corporations's unauthorized actions beyond Galactic Republic's, and as long as they could continue Galactic Republic's previous policies, everything would be fine.
Finally, looking at the liberal trend of thought, it is not difficult to find that the 'freedom' expected by these liberals always only exists within the scope of ideals. Because even with the correction of Jedi Order, Galactic Republic is still inevitably heading for destruction, and the lessons of freedom have already been laid before us.
But those who have not truly experienced the "prosperity of freedom" still yearn for their ideal freedom.
The freedom they expect is ultimately selfish.
Not willing to take on obligations or accept control, they just do whatever they want and leave everything to the market. And what they think of the market is that good things always have good returns... As everyone knows, those Mega-Trusts who have been exploiting and bullying them are the real rewards that the market gives them.
Reflecting on the previous Clone Wars, countless planets pursued neutralism and isolationism after the war broke out, refused to participate in the war, and refused to contribute to Galactic Republic that was threatened by the war.
Thinking from this perspective, you can understand the anxiety of the two races on Dak Planet, Mon Calamari and Quarren.
Because Mon Calamari is undoubtedly a vested interest in liberalism. They have abundant resources and developed industries and are completely self-sufficient. For thousands of years, they have always enjoyed the happiness brought by freedom. They neither need to assume national obligations nor accept national coordination. Everything is so beautiful.
The same is true for Quarren. They resisted Mon Calamari in order to become a free race like Mon Calamari. They will never sell themselves out to resist and insert themselves into a totalitarian regime and become a small part.
This is why Nossori, the leader of Quarren, was very eager to assure him that Quarren could definitely solve Dak Planet's problem peacefully after Lin Nanyi arrived. Because once Lin Nanyi's fleet intervenes, Quarren can only accept the rule of Kingdom of Dawn.
But all this came to nothing when Mon Calamari told Gideon-Tarkin the coordinates of the secret channel.
The two races have been fighting for thousands of years. Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of their internal fighting that Kingdom of Dawn eventually led to their military occupation. Today, both races have to face the situation of 'no longer free'.
Fortunately for Quarren, they have a close relationship with Kingdom of Dawn after all. No matter how they are ruled, they can at least get a decent status.
But Mon Calamari...
Gial-General Ackbar sighed again, he understood the reason why Mina-Tills entrusted Mon Calamari to him. Now, only he has the ability to leave a little spark of freedom for Mon Calamari.
He understood that he had to fight, and he could only fight. Because if even he compromises, Mon Calamari will always become the slave of Kingdom of Dawn, and even be stepped on by Quarren.
The communicator vibrated slightly, Gial-Akbar's eyes were stern.
Rebel Alliance on Lothal Planet has already started taking action! So now...
He pressed the communicator button and squeezed out one sentence word for word. "Operation code name, 'Rainbow'. Start taking action immediately!"
Dak Planet, the capital, Coral City, the water city.
In the northwest corner of the city, there is a lonely group of buildings on the water. This group of buildings is very unique because these buildings are even floating in mid-air, dozens of meters above the sea.
Here is the largest prison on Dak Planet - Bubble Prison, with the highest security level.
Mainly considering that the main races on Dak Planet are all aquatic races. If the prison is built in the water, then these races will be completely at home. Therefore, the best way is to use anti-gravity devices to suspend these prison buildings in mid-air.
In this way, it is absolutely impossible to escape from here.
Now, in the core cell inside Bubble Prison, the most important prisoners on Dak Planet are currently being held - Mina-Tills! Former Mon Calamari congressman and leader of Mon Calamari Resistance Movement.
After confirming that Galactic Empire would not send troops to reinforce him and would only use him as a human shield, Mina-Tills knew that not only was his resistance movement unlikely to succeed, but he might also suffer retaliation from Kingdom of Dawn. Therefore, she chose to surrender and sacrifice her life and the lives of all Rebel Alliance's senior executives in exchange for a chance for Gial-Akbar.
This is also Mon Calamari's last chance... and hope.
Mina-Tills was sitting in the cell, his posture was meticulous and upright. She awaits her death.
When Lin Nanyi returns to Dak Planet, there is no doubt that she will be publicly Judgment and perform a public execution to deter Dak Planet's resistance activities.
But... it's not over yet!
Mina-Tills suddenly opened her eyes, and she found that there was an extra person outside the door of her cell!
He was wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform with a slim build. He wore a full-metal helmet with only a few small gaps left for ventilation and observation. The huge helmet made him look a little top-heavy, and it was impossible to tell what race he was from.
"Imperial Inquisitor... hehe." Mina-Tills smiled coldly.
"Where are Garrosh-Tarkin? Dak Planet, what happened?" The person who came was none other than Imperial Inquisitorius's eighth brother, the judge. His voice was low and cold.
Mina-Tills replied with a cold snort, "We Mon Calamari have put everything on the line and are ready to fight Dawn Star Planet to the end. But we took action, but failed to wait for your Galactic Empire reinforcements, so we failed."
"If your so-called operation was easily extinguished and failed to attract Kingdom of Dawn fleet, then you are not worthy of receiving reinforcements from the Empire." The eighth brother's voice was extremely cold, "I ask again, where are Garrosh-Tarkin?"
"Hahahahaha!" Mina-Tills laughed loudly, "You never wanted to reinforce us, right? Your fleet fled in panic in front of Kingdom of Dawn, and now it's going to be moldy hiding on Charro IV Planet, right? So, guess what, how do I know this? Huh?"
"I can make you scream in extreme pain for several days, and then die. I can also make you pass away peacefully and quickly... choose one." The eighth brother said coldly, "Garrosh-Tarkin, where are they?!"
Mina-Tills was silent. After a while, she slowly said, "He has betrayed you a long time ago. What's the use of looking for him?"
"As the descendants of Tarkin family, Garrosh-Tarkin will never betray. If he really betrays, then I will make sure that he does not betray." said the eighth brother.
"I will tell you the location of Garrosh-Tarkin, but you have to promise that you will quickly kill me and the leaders of the resistance organizations who are detained here with me." Mina-Tills said.
"After I take care of Garrosh-Tarkin's affairs, if what you said is true, then I will give you a quick death as you wish." Badi replied.
Mina-Tills took a deep breath and said, "He will go to Coral City's Spaceport Seven this afternoon. That is a very The old spaceport is basically in a semi-abandoned state. Garrosh-Tarkin will leave Dak Planet under the protection of the Rebel Alliance."
"Rebel Alliance is also in Dak Planet?" asked the eighth brother.
"They are everywhere." Mina-Tills had an unpredictable smile on his face.
"You'd better pray that what you say is true..." Badi's voice gradually faded away.
When Mina-Tills raised his head again, there was no one outside the cell door, and the eighth brother still disappeared without a trace.
That afternoon, Coral City Spaceport Seven.
In this dilapidated space port, only some very backward spaceships are docked, and those spaceships basically fend for themselves and can fly as they please. There is no one to guide or control, and there will be no one around to provide maintenance services for the spacecraft.
Of course, there is also an advantage, that is, there is no management fee to pay here. For people with poor financial situation or smugglers, Spaceport Seven is the best place.
In this mixed area, a group of people were hurriedly running along the corner of the spaceport corridor towards the apron. Judging from the bulging waists of these people, they were all heavily armed.
Among these people, there was a burly man. He was wrapped in a black cloak and his face could not be seen, but it was obvious that he was being closely protected by the people around him!
They didn't notice at all that on the ceiling of the corridor, a faint figure was lying here, like a gecko, silently.
Badi looked at these people coldly, his eyes slightly narrowed under his helmet, exuding a dangerous light.
Although this group of people feels a little strange, it seems that Mina-Tills is not lying. The person in the middle is probably Garrosh-Tarkin!
Force sense was in a blur, obviously disturbed, but the eighth brother still decided to do it now!
He took off a ring-shaped metal device from his back, held the handle in the middle of the ring, and silently calculated the distance.
However, at this moment, his the Force immediately sensed the approaching danger and quickly jumped to the side. At the same time, the ring device opened instantly, and two blood-red Lightsaber blades shot out immediately!
The next second, a yellow sword light flashed past and stabbed directly where he was just now.
However, the sword light disappeared instantly without a trace, but no one was seen!
The eighth brother snorted coldly, and the ring in his hand drove the two Lightsaber sword hilts to rotate at high speed. He waved and rotated the Lightsaber, and crashed directly in a general direction ahead!
Buzz!!!
The yellow Lightsaber appears again, blocking his Lightsaber! At this time, a beautiful girl with a single ponytail appeared. She was extremely fast, and she fought with Badi for more than ten swords in an instant.
Just when Badi was about to give her a fatal blow, the girl disappeared again!
"Force Stealth... interesting." Buddy said coldly.
