2671. Changes in power

Meng-Mothma, Garm-Bail-Iblis and others were openly robbed in full view of Coruscant. This kind of thing is extremely bad.

Therefore, under the instruction of Palpatine, Imperial Intelligence Bureau's violent behavior not only failed to restrain itself, but intensified!

A large number of the Intelligence Bureau agents were hunted down in Coruscant. In order to have sufficient manpower, Intelligence Bureau not only mobilized a large number of agents from other star regions to station in Imperial Center, but also extensively recruited personnel.

Most of the personnel recruited by the Imperial Intelligence Bureau are retired soldiers from the Clone Wars period, including Clone Trooper, especially Kaminoan clone troopers.

Isanne-Isard proposed a plan to use decommissioned Kaminoan clone troopers to charge into the Intelligence Department door. This plan was quickly approved by Emperor Palpatine.

Because for the Galactic Empire, this is a very cheap and easy-to-use plan, and it can also reduce many unstable factors.

In the later period of Clone Wars, Dawn Star Planet and General Grievous once broke into Kamino and stole Primarch used to manufacture Clone Trooper's Jango-Fett.

Primarch does not mean that it is enough to extract some DNA from Jango-Fett. If that is the case, go directly to Jango-Fett who has been making a living with Dawn Star Planet and Confederacy of Independent Systems and get some genetic samples.

Primarch is the genetic scientist of Kaminoans. After extracting the genetic samples of Jango-Fett, they perform in-depth compilation and adjustment to strengthen and modify the genetic sequence. This process may need to be repeated hundreds or even thousands of times. In the end, the military-grade Primarch can truly be born.

So when Clone Army was built, Jango-Fett had been living in Kamino for several years.

Therefore, after snatching Primarch from the gene pool of Kamino, Confederacy of Independent Systems developed the targeted Gene-targeting weapon. As long as Kaminoan clone troopers appears on the battlefield and is irradiated by genetic weapons, the genetic sequence in the body will instantly disintegrate and the person will turn into a puddle of flesh.

Therefore, in the later stages of the war, Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire basically used the cheaper and more unstable Spaarti clone troopers. These soldiers are using other Primarch, so they will not be attacked by Confederacy of Independent Systems's genetic weapons.

After the large-scale use of Spaarti clone troopers, the original large number of Kaminoan clone troopers immediately became useless garbage. Except for a small number of elite soldiers who were retained, most of the Kaminoan clone troopers were abandoned.

These cloned soldiers had no home at all, and Imperial military just scattered them to some planets that needed to be reclaimed, gave them some basic living supplies, and left them to fend for themselves.

Most of the abandoned Kaminoan clone troopers could only live a very poor life. Many of these brave warriors who fought hard on the battlefield to resist the invasion of Separatist droid legion even starved to death because of poor harvests.

There are also some people who wander around, working as mercenaries, killers, smuggling, and everything else. But because they were implanted with instructions to serve Galactic Republic and the Empire, the interests of the country were put first, so most of the time, they were unable to do anything illegal and disciplined, and as a result, many died in the bottomless gang struggle.

And because these Clone Trooper use growth-accelerated technology, they age at twice the rate of normal people. Therefore, by now, many soldiers are already in their 40s.

These Clone Trooper may no longer be able to go to the frontal battlefield, but Isanne-Isard suddenly proposed to recruit these soldiers back to be used as Intelligence Bureau agents!

Looking at it from another angle, I suddenly realized that this plan was really good.

On the one hand, if these Clone Troopers are left unchecked, they will eventually become unstable factors in society. Providing them with re-employment opportunities will just keep them occupied and prevent them from acting randomly. On the other hand, these soldiers are about 40 years old. Although they are not suitable for frontal battlefields, they do not have to worry about being attacked by genetic weapons inside the Empire. At the same time, they can be used to deal with the rebels inside the Empire.

Isanne-Isard immediately took action, and she began to recall more than 3 million Clone Trooper from many developing planets on the border. She set up a new secondary bureau within the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, called Imperial Homeland Defense Bureau (Imperial Defense Agency), or IDA for short.

These IDA soldiers often wear a gray trench coat outside their combat uniforms, so they are also called "grey men".

After the Intelligence Bureau's strength was greatly strengthened, Isanne-Isard began to set off a white terror in the galaxy Core Worlds. They unscrupulously monitored communications, set up checkpoints, and even opened hyperspace outposts directly at the doorsteps of some Core Worlds!

Not only that, Ruffan-Digorinus, one of the twelve marshals of the Empire, was also dispatched. He also served as the director of the Imperial Homeland Defense Bureau, commanding IDA's millions of clone veterans.

This arrangement is also a means for Palpatine to check and balance, so as to prevent Isanne-Isard from becoming too powerful.

Just like when he was Chancellor of the Galactic Republic before, Palpatine continues to use various events to subtly strengthen his power and weaken his goals.

Intelligence Bureau's actions began to deliberately avoid Core Worlds's powerful people, and mainly targeted those sub-level companies, officials, and the lowest level civilians. However, in Core Worlds, the power of any powerful person is not intricate and intricate. Even if it attacks the lower class civilians, it is still the powerful people who will be affected in the end.

However, under the cover of such actions, this little impact was accepted by the powerful.

After all, compared with treason, it is better to throw out some of the people below to take the blame.

During this period of time, Ruffan-Digorinus and Isanne-Isard have become the two most powerful people in the entire Core Worlds!

Prime Minister Sartre-Pestachi also began to move closer to them, using his influence in the political arena to help them. The three of them formed an iron triangle of military, political, and intelligence.

At this moment, Galen-Malek had escaped the Empire's pursuit while driving the Lambda-class shuttlecraft, and came all the way to Kashyyyk planet.

He hovered the spacecraft under the shadow of a satellite on the outer edge of the planet, unbuckled his seat belt, turned around and said to Meng-Mothma and others, "Okay, let's stay here for now. Where do you want to go next?"

"If you plan to let us take you to the 'leader', this is impossible." Meng-Mothma said seriously.
