2675. Establishment of the Rebel Alliance (Part 2)
Padmé-Amidala projected the structural diagram of her own conception in the holographic projection. She continued, "All our purposes stem from 'Galactic Empire's trampling of life and freedom'! This is the only reason for us to rise up and resist! And our highest goal, just like the name of our organization - Republic Restoration Alliance, rebuilding a free and equal Galactic Republic is the only goal we strive for!"
"Kingdom of Dawn is also an evil totalitarian, J.G.ism country. We oppose the policy agenda of Kingdom of Dawn. They are also one of the largest initiators of war in this galaxy, and we therefore oppose their war behavior. But they are not our first target of struggle, and in terms of overthrowing Galactic Empire, we have a common goal, can negotiate, and can cooperate. But it must be based on equality."
"Later, after achieving the goal of rebuilding Galactic Republic, we can negotiate peace with Kingdom of Dawn or cooperate with them. As long as they are willing to accept Galactic Republic's ideas and become a member of the big family of the Milky Way, we agree to let them go."
"But what we need to do now is to first reduce the size of our organization, rather than blindly expand the size of the organization. First, streamline our core strength to the minimum, retaining only the comrades with the strongest beliefs who are willing to sacrifice everything for our goals."
"And these people will use the former the Empire Fourteenth Army sector as an activity base to direct the resistance movements in other parts of the galaxy. We will not establish the base on a civilized planet that can be found by the Empire. This will only attract to massacre, but we cannot give up the control area of the former the Empire Fourteenth Army, because here, Galactic Empire's dominance has been reduced to a minimum, and Ryloth and its surroundings are our focus."
"In addition to the core members, we will also unite all forces that can be united. Including the Empire's Sector Governor, military generals, mercenary organizations, former Separatists members, etc. They are peripheral members, and until we are truly sure that we can unite with them, we can only have a cooperative relationship with each other. The peripheral members will not affect our course of action, and we will only make suggestions for their actions, not give orders."
"This is the role of Consultative Committee. This will be an organization representing members of various classes and races, with Consultative Committee coordinating and organizing the activities of peripheral members. If a the Empire Sector Governor wants to promote Turn over Galactic Empire, then very good, Consultative Committee will provide him with intelligence support, help him coordinate internal administration, and gradually break away from the Galactic Empire's rule without triggering Galactic Empire's military intervention."
"There is no superior-subordinate relationship between us and these peripheral members. After overthrowing Galactic Empire, we and they will re-coordinate our relationship. On the premise that the other party must accept Galactic Republic's program of freedom, equality, and democracy, and based on their specific performance in overthrowing Galactic Empire's rule, we will decide whether to be directly included in our alliance, or whether they need further transformation and education."
Padmé-Amidala continued, "Then Military Committee. They will directly command our existing armed forces. According to the previous suggestion of Jane-General Dodonna, we will set up the X-wing fighter force as an independent combat unit for more flexible operations. The fighter force will be commanded by General Dodonna."
"And our interstellar fleet is commanded by Gial-General Ackbar. Our fleet cannot confront Galactic Empire head-on, so our fleet's first policy is 'Fleet in being'. That is to say, the fleet mainly focuses on threatening operations and will not consider frontal combat unless the time is right. The purpose of our fleet is to involve the power of the Galactic Empire, so that every action they take must match the size of our fleet, otherwise they will be attacked by us."
"Then, Military Committee will also be responsible for dispatching military advisors to peripheral members, training combatants and other responsibilities. Because many peripheral members, such as some agricultural planets, the governors of these places do not have sufficient military strength, so they need our help."
"Finally, I need to reiterate that our current goal is not to incite civilians to rebel. If they want to get rid of the Empire's rule, we will cut off the connection between these places and Galactic Empire through indirect means. For example, attacking logistics ships Teams, blocking communication frequencies, instigating administrative officials, etc., but we absolutely do not support their direct armed resistance. If the Will is determined to resist, we can bring them back to our base and engage in production or combat tasks after training."
Padmé-Amidala said, she clicked a few times on the holographic star map, only to see the huge projection suddenly switch to a three-dimensional star map of the entire galaxy, and inside, there were tens of thousands of marks!
Every mark here is a planet that hates the rule of the Galactic Empire and wants to rebel but is unable to do so. And in these planets, there are actually a lot of Inner Rim and Core Worlds!
It can be said that if the power of these planets can be integrated together, it will actually be a force that is enough to shake the foundation of the Galactic Empire's rule!
But it is obvious that there is no way to coordinate such a huge force now. Galactic Empire will never give them this opportunity. As long as there is a hint, the most terrifying blow will immediately come!
Padmé-Amidala had obviously given it careful consideration. She had actually deeply reflected on all the problems Rebel Alliance had faced before, and finally came up with her own solution.
She has now reorganized Rebel Alliance into the Rebel Alliance, which is the Allied Forces. In name, it was about downsizing personnel, but in reality, it was preparing to forge the Allied Forces into a link to connect the countless planets that had risen in resistance.
Padmé has discovered that although Galactic Empire appears to be extremely powerful and has a huge fleet, in fact, the foundation of the Empire's rule has long been decayed. It can even be said that the reason why the Empire is still a complete country is because of the suppression of Palpatine's powerful power.
Under the suppression of power, those local officials and people everywhere have long been disloyal to the Empire.
Therefore, the Allied forces do not need to defeat the Empire's fleet on the frontal battlefield. They only need to destroy the administrative relationship between the Empire and the local area, so that the Empire can in fact fall apart.
This is the reason why Padmé agreed to unite the the Empire governors, military generals, former Separatists and other forces in the form of peripheral members.
Because once these governors and generals completely dismember Galactic Empire, then the Empire's extremely powerful fleet will also be split into countless parts. In this way, the Empire's power that unites the entire galaxy is not that powerful compared to the Allied Forces.
Let the Allied Forces abandon their bases on those civilized planets and move out to establish their own bases in remote and secret places. On the one hand, it is to break them into pieces and make Galactic Empire's powerful fleet not know who to fight. Since you don't know who to hit, let's hit Kingdom of Dawn.
On the other hand, it also reduces the hostility of those planets towards the Allied Forces. After all, the only reason why many weak planets reject the Allied Forces is that the appearance of the Allied Forces will lead to the conquest of Imperial fleet. As long as this problem can be solved, these planets are actually very willing to help the alliance on various occasions.
At the same time, as long as Galactic Empire is overthrown, even if it is in a state of division, the situation of those planets that are exploited and oppressed will be greatly alleviated.
After that, the Allied forces will gradually integrate their forces and officially rebuild Galactic Republic among the ruins of the Empire!
Everyone present listened carefully to Padmé-Amidala's plan. They also discovered that compared to establishing their own sphere of influence in a corner of the galaxy, gradually growing and growing, and finally defeating Galactic Empire, Padmé's plan was obviously much more reliable.
After all, not just anyone can do something like Kingdom of Dawn.
Moreover, this plan, on the one hand, keeps distance from those peripheral members, which can ensure the purity of the Allied Forces internally and the justice of the outside world. On the other hand, it can also unite as many forces as possible to jointly overthrow Galactic Empire.
This report of Padmé-Amidala was later called "Yavin Declaration".
The greatest significance of this declaration is that it guides the direction of the Rebel Alliance's future struggle, clarifies the goal of the struggle, and is implemented as the highest code of conduct of the Rebel Alliance.
"Yavin Declaration" clarified that the name of the Rebel Alliance is Republic Restoration Alliance, that the only target of struggle is Galactic Empire, and that the method of struggle is overthrow by force. They gave up their last illusions about the Empire, and no longer attempted any form of effort in parliament.
At the same time, acknowledging the contribution of peripheral members also opens up the connection with Kingdom of Dawn to some extent. No longer coy as before, telling Kingdom of Dawn that we can cooperate to fight the Empire, but at the same time saying with indignation that all of you J.G.ism lackeys deserve to die.
It is equivalent to that for them now, killing Galactic Empire is the first priority, and other ideological battles will be discussed later.
Afterwards, Padmé-Amidala announced that a meeting would be held on Corellia one month later, at which a secret agreement would be signed to confirm the establishment of the Republic Restoration Alliance.
The reason why Corellia was chosen is because there are many planet representatives from Inner Rim and Core Worlds who will also come to sign this agreement.
As Padmé-Amidala showed before, the power of the Rebel Alliance is actually very powerful, but they are unable to integrate these powers.
For example, Corellia actually supports Rebel Alliance, but they cannot openly build battleships for the Rebel Alliance. At the same time, it is impossible for a resource planet under the control of the Rebel Alliance to openly transport raw materials to Corellia. This is also equivalent to directly telling the Empire the relationship between the two.
Another example is Kashyyyk planet, which has a large population and strong folk customs. They have been besieged by Imperial fleet, and Rebel Alliance's resources cannot be sent up. Those Wookiees cannot leave Homeworld on a large scale and join Rebel Alliance's army.
It is precisely because of this mutual isolation that Rebel Alliance looks very weak.
But just as Padmé-Amidala is planning, these planets may not be able to unite to confront Galactic Empire head-on, but they can dismantle the Empire's ruling foundation from within through political, economic and other means.
This is the significance of the Corellia meeting one month later!
After the release of "Yavin Declaration", the new Rebel Alliance began to work in detail.
They established an administrative organization headed by Meng-Mothma, an industrial production organization headed by Garm-Bail-Iblis, an intelligence collection organization headed by Borsk-Feliya, and a military command organization headed by Jane-Dodonna.
Everyone performs their duties.
But there is one more thing that is urgent, that is how to save Gial-General Ackbar's Deep Sea Fleet!
Now Deep Sea Fleet is besieged in the star area under the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Imperial Army. Das-Vader's Death Fleet is constantly exploring this star area and continues to reduce the blockade area, leaving Deep Sea Fleet with fewer and fewer places to hide!
Jane-General Dodonna organized her own X-wing fighter formation and broke it into pieces to attack the logistics of the Dath-Vader fleet from multiple directions. X-wing fighter relied on its excellent mobility and combat capabilities to destroy several logistics convoys. Not only did it make Death Fleet's material supply more difficult, but it also added a lot of combat readiness to the Rebel Alliance's warehouse.
During the attack operations, the X-wing fighter, which had the entire space environment as its maneuvering range, showed its prowess. The elite pilots of the Rebel Alliance covered the Y-wing bomber to launch a surprise attack on the bulky Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It even set a record of destroying two Imperial-class Star Destroyers in a formation with 12 X-wing fighters guarding 4 Y-wing bombers!
Imperial-class Star Destroyer can compete with Kingdom of Dawn fleet in frontal combat, but in the battle mode of the Rebel Alliance, which uses cannons to fight mosquitoes, all its shortcomings are clearly exposed - insufficient point defense firepower, the air defense range cannot cover the rear of the battleship, the bridge is too tall, etc.
The result is that after the X-wing fighter formation easily defeated some crappy TIE fighter pilots trained on the assembly line, they took advantage of their maneuverability to go around to the rear of Imperial-class Star Destroyer, used Proton Torpedo for intensive bombing, and were able to destroy a Star Destroyer in a short time!
However, the X-wing fighter formation in the hands of Jane-General Dodonna is still too small. After Das-Vader found it difficult to annihilate these flies flying around, he directly chose to ignore them and devoted all his efforts to the search for Deep Sea Fleet.
The last and most powerful force of the new Rebel Alliance is facing annihilation!
