600.Christophsis Civil unrest
Inspired by the Corporate Alliance, Retail Clan also began to take action, and they were the promoters of Christophsis's civil strife.
Retail Clan itself used to be a Trusts composed of hundreds of companies, mainly engaged in the retail of small commodities. After forming the group, they began to monopolize these commodities from raw materials to production and processing to sales, thus accumulating a huge amount of funds.
When Separatist Movement began to rise, they were also one of the most active members, because their main market was Outer Rim Territories. If Outer Rim Territories could become independent, their interests would be maximized.
Therefore, when the war was approaching, Retail Clan used almost all of his funds to invest in various warship and robot manufacturers in exchange for a part of the production share of these manufacturers.
Even Fourth Group received huge investment from the Retail Clan. Glosse-Shelbia gave them 10% of the production line output of several frigates and destroyers, which helped them initially build a barely visible fleet.
As a result, Retail Clan's strength skyrocketed and became a huge military group in just a few years. After the civil war broke out, Retail Clan immediately mobilized this huge military force and launched attacks on several planets where they had already been very influential.
However, even though Retail Clan is jumping up and down like this, they are still dozens of levels behind a giant like Corporate Alliance. And now when Corporate Alliance chairman Parcel Argent comes to visit, Retail Clan is really flattered.
Especially when Parcel Argent proposed to jointly attack Christophsis, and then everyone divided the accounts into 28%. Although he only had 20%, this was Christophsis!! A crystal planet with a population of 35 billion!! Not to mention 20%, even 50% of the income is enough to drive them crazy.
The plan proposed by the Corporate Alliance also made Retail Clan feel that this operation was definitely successful.
Because Retail Clan has a deep relationship and trade relationship with Kroydon, they do have the ability to let Kroydon cause trouble on Christophsis.
The discussion was finalized. Retail Clan secretly found Kroydon and provided a very generous reward. The greedy and cunning Kroydon hit it off immediately and immediately expressed his willingness to join Confederacy of Independent Systems and launch a coup on Christophsis.
There are nearly 4 billion Kroydon on Christophsis. This race is strong and has a long mouth. Because their ancestors were four-legged carnivores on the grasslands on Kroydon, they also have long fangs and sharp claws. They are a very rough and cruel race.
On Christophsis, Kroydon are basically employed as bodyguards.
But now, Kroydon suddenly launched a coup, catching Christophsis off guard. You must know that after the civil war broke out, Christophsis immediately established its own security army to defend itself. The idea was right, but at least half of the troops they recruited were Kroydon!
After the negotiation between the two parties broke down, Kroydon launched riots in hundreds of cities on Christophsis, and a large part of them even started from the army!
Kroydon publicly accused the Christophsis government of racial discrimination against them, and cited a large number of cases, among which there were indeed many cases of cruel exploitation of Kroydon by human bosses. They said that their ethnic group patriarch had been discriminated against for a long time and could no longer bear the oppression, so they sought autonomy. If Galactic Republic did not give them an answer, then they would join Confederacy of Independent Systems.
The riots that occurred in Christophsis are no small matter, because this can be said to be the most important planet of Galactic Republic in Outer Rim Territories. The economic development of this planet is even higher than that of many Core Worlds. Perhaps the only shortcoming is that there is not enough industry and manufacturing.
Speaker Sheev-Palpatine immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss the Christophsis mess. The congressmen quarreled for another three days, and it was not until July 6 that they made the decision to send a mission to mediate the racial disputes on Christophsis.
As for the representatives of the mission, Sheev-Palpatine has already been selected. In the past few days, he has been troubled by the issue of military bills. Although he already has the power to make emergency decisions, after all, it is impossible to act arbitrarily on everything. In this case, it is absolutely impossible for the parliament, which still has great influence, to tolerate him.
But now surrounding the issue of military expansion, the peace faction headed by Bail-Organa has been obstructing it. However, this faction is still powerful. The assassination of Padmé-Senator Amidala also won them a lot of sympathy points. Due to their protests, the bill for military expansion has been delayed.
So Palpatine simply found a high-sounding reason and asked Bail-Organa to lead the special envoy to visit Christophsis.
Bail-Organa has no choice. Since he advocates peace, and Chancellor Palpatine does ask him to solve the problem in a peaceful way, then he has no reason to shirk.
So on the next day, July 7, Bail-Organa led the Galactic Republic delegation to Christophsis.
However, during this period, the situation on Christophsis became worse and worse. The riots caused by Kroydon became more and more intense. They also raised slogans like "Down with the human exploiters" and launched attacks on their former employers.
Many of these Kroydon work as mercenaries or security guards, and many security codes and door keys are in their hands. If these people fight back, many companies and factories on Christophsis will be completely unable to resist, and many places have been looted.
Under such circumstances, the government authorities of Christophsis finally couldn't bear it anymore. They began to reorganize their troops and carried out an armed suppression of the rioting Kroydon.
However, the situation is not as easy as the Christophsis government authorities imagined. Although the rioting Kroydon soldiers cannot obtain heavy equipment such as tanks, they already have basic weapons after all, and what's worse is that they have more weapons in their hands than they imagined!!
"You know, I have helped you a lot in this matter... Mr. Parcell Argent." In the holographic projection, a middle-aged man with a high hairline and a suit shook the cigar in his hand. "There are definitely no more than 10 people in this galaxy who can complete weapons smuggling on this scale, and 7 of them are Hutt."
Parcel Argent smiled happily and said to this person, "Don't worry, Santa Claus, as long as you can successfully win Christophsis, you can get more than 10 times the profit!!"
"Then, I wish you success." Yuri-Orlov was noncommittal, just smiling enigmatically.
