2666. The Empire's storm
The disastrous defeat in the Oude-Pardolan battle was just the beginning for the Rebel Alliance.
Within the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Army, in addition to the forces that were eliminated by the Rebel Alliance, Deep Sea Fleet from Gial-General Ackbar are also in this area.
But because Galactic Empire fleet is too powerful, Gial-General Ackbar understands that he is absolutely no match. As long as he shows up, he will only be completely annihilated by Darth-Vader.
In order to preserve his strength, he could only hide and try to take this fleet out.
At the same time, Gial-Akbar also repeatedly warned Rebel Alliance senior officials not to engage in frontal resistance, otherwise they would just hit the stone with an egg. It is necessary to retreat as soon as possible, give up the existing achievements as soon as possible, and save the fire of the uprising.
But Rebel Alliance executives rejected this proposal. The senior Rebel Alliance officials who supported this operation included Bail-Organa, and even the 'leaders' also supported it.
However, the cruel reality is before us. Not long after the Rebel Alliance was immersed in the joy of destroying Thirteenth Army, he was hit in the head by Darth-Vader——Dass-Vader directly dispatched a huge force of 200 battleships into the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Army. This force clearly told Rebel Alliance that if you have the ability, come and confront me!
At this time, the 'leaders' and other Rebel Alliance senior officials understood that Galactic Empire had zero tolerance for this riot and uprising against the Thirteenth Army! They would rather give up the war with Kingdom of Dawn and completely solve the problem of the Rebel Alliance!
Not only that, Dath-Vader knew very well that Deep Sea Fleet was within the scope of the Thirteenth Army. He cast a wide net, sent a large number of reconnaissance planes everywhere, and reactivated many previously abandoned hyperspace outposts, forming a huge net that enveloped the entire scope of the Thirteenth Army.
Das-Vader blocked the channel of Rishi. This planet has transportation to several Satellite Dwarf Galaxy around the galaxy. As long as Rishi is blocked, the safety of important areas including Kamino and Rhosana Planet can be ensured.
Then, Imperial fleet deployed defenses at the hubs of hyperspace channels such as Ando Planet (Ando), Meng-Gaza planet, and Rodian planet. Six Stalker-class Star Destroyers were also invested to further strengthen the blockade.
Such a dragnet gives Gial-Akbar's Deep Sea Fleet no chance to escape!
Deep Sea Fleet can be regarded as the size of a main fleet. It is simply an impossible task for such a large fleet to escape from such a blockade.
And if you break it into parts, you will face the risk of being defeated by the Galactic Empire one by one.
Moreover, the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Army is immediately adjacent to Hutt Space. Hutt is very sensitive to its own territory. Even in the past, they refused Galactic Republic's warships to enter. Now under the leadership of Oruba-Goresla, Hutt has established a sovereign country, and it is even more impossible to tolerate the entry of other people's warships.
Except Kingdom of Dawn's battleship...
Therefore, as long as Rebel Alliance's fleet enters Hutt Space, if it is not strong enough, it is likely to be directly detained.
Gial-Akbar was almost in dire straits. He couldn't compete with Darth-Vader's fleet, he couldn't escape, and now he couldn't get supplies. It seemed that the only thing waiting for him was destruction...
The main fleet was besieged, and the X-wing fighter formation and ground combat troops were all annihilated on the frontal battlefield. Rebel Alliance suffered heavy losses in the strength he had finally accumulated.
This is only a military problem. Politically, the situation is even more desperate!
In order to plan to subvert Thirteenth Imperial Army, Rebel Alliance invested a lot of resources and connections, and now, these things have all surfaced.
Galactic Empire Intelligence Bureau had long suspected that there were rebels sympathetic to the Rebel Alliance lurking among the high-level officials in the country. Intelligence Bureau Director Isanne-Isard Heavy Fist attacked and brutally tortured and interrogated the Rebel Alliance high-level officials captured by Das-Vader. Pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. Any behavior suspected of leaking the Empire military intelligence, transferring the Empire property, or funding the activities of rebel elements will be zero tolerance!
For a time, almost everyone in Imperial Center was in danger.
On Imperial Plaza, a large number of 'traitors' arrested for treason are publicly executed almost every day, including even high-ranking the Empire officials.
Isanne-Isard also began to thoroughly investigate the flow of funds flowing out from Imperial Center, and really found a large amount of unaccounted funds!
Faced with this thorough investigation that almost swept the entire Galactic Empire, the members of Imperial Senate still planned to rise up and resist.
Because those unaccounted-for funds may have funded Rebel Alliance, but there is a greater possibility that they have flowed into the pockets of some people. However, facing Imperial Intelligence Bureau who is now almost crazy, they will not give these people any chance to make excuses. As long as they find something wrong, they will arrest them immediately.
And now His Majesty the Emperor is in seclusion in Northern Territory. Isanne-Isard has almost all the power. She holds the authorization given to her by His Majesty the Emperor before leaving, which is the Sword of Shang Fang.
This woman, who did not hesitate to kill her father in order to join the center of power, perfectly interprets the words "snake-hearted". Her methods are cruel and vicious, her actions decisive and efficient, and she leaves no room for error.
All the worldliness and Noble House knowledge have no effect on her.
Such a thorough investigation naturally led to many discoveries. The first was a hyperspace communicator found in an antique shop in Imperial Center. It was an encrypted model and could send secret communication messages that could not be monitored.
But the owner of the antique shop is missing.
Isanne-Isard Following this line, several Noble House wealthy people involved in the antique shop were dug out, and they were taken back without mercy and tortured for interrogation.
Not only that, Chandrila Councilman Meng-Mothma, a frequent customer of the antique shop, was also subject to strict investigation. Not only did she have a close relationship with the antique shop, but she also had financial problems of her own.
In the past few years, Mon Mothma's tens of millions of credit points have gone missing from the accounts that Assani Isad has been able to check. Some are charity projects, some are antique purchases, and some are overseas investments, but without exception, the whereabouts of these funds cannot be ascertained.
Meng-Mothma was taken away by the Intelligence Bureau for investigation.
At the same time, Isanne-Isard also found that Senator of Alderaan Bail-Organa had many contacts with Governor Ukio in the past few months. Therefore, the uprising that led to the downfall of the Thirteenth Imperial Army was also implicated in Bail-Organa.
However, Intelligence Bureau has no direct evidence yet, so Bail-Organa are restricted from traveling and are under strict supervision by the Intelligence Bureau.
Also involved is another heavyweight—Congressman Corellia, Garm-Bail-Iblis!
