600. Civil strife in Christophersis
Instigated by the corporate alliance, the retail industry alliance also began to take action, and they were the promoters of this civil strife on the planet Christophersis.
The Retail Federation itself used to be a trust group 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 huge amounts of funds.
When the separatist movement began to rise, they were also one of the most active members, because their main markets were in the Outer Rim Star Region. If the Outer Rim Star Region could become independent, their interests would be maximized.
Therefore, when the war was approaching, the retail industry jointly used almost all its funds to invest in various warship and robot manufacturers in exchange for a part of the production share of these manufacturers.
Even the Fourth Group has received huge investment from the retail industry. Gross-Shelbia gave them 10% of the production line output of several frigates and destroyers, which helped them initially establish a reluctant team. A fleet that can be seen.
As a result, the retail industry alliance surged in strength and became a huge military group in just a few years. After the civil war broke out, the Retail Alliance immediately mobilized this huge military force and launched attacks on several planets where they had already had great influence.
However, even though the Retail Industry Alliance is jumping up and down like this, they are still dozens of levels behind giants like the Enterprise Alliance. And now when the Chairman of the Enterprise Alliance, Parcel Argent, comes to the door. , Retail United is really flattered.
Especially when Parcel Argent proposed to jointly attack the planet 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 enterprise alliance also made the retail industry jointly feel that this action is definitely successful.
Because the Retail Federation has a deep relationship and trade relationship with the Croydon people, they do have the ability to let the Croydon people cause trouble on the planet Christophersis.
It was agreed upon that the Retail Alliance secretly found the Croydonians and provided them with very generous rewards. The greedy and cunning Croydonians hit it off immediately and immediately expressed their willingness to join the Confederation of Independent Systems, and on the planet Christophsis launched a coup.
There are a total of nearly 4 billion Croydon people on the planet Christophsis. This race is strong and has long mouths. Because their ancestors were four-legged carnivores in the grasslands on the planet Croydon, they also have With long fangs and sharp claws, they are a very rough and cruel race.
On the planet Christophsis, Croydonians are basically employed as bodyguards.
But now, the Croydonians suddenly launched a coup, catching the planet Christophersis off guard. You must know that after the civil war broke out, the planet Christophersis immediately established its own security army to defend itself. The idea was right, but at least half of the troops they recruited were Croydonians!
After the negotiations between the two parties broke down, the Croydonians launched riots in hundreds of cities on the planet Christophsis, and a large part of them even started from the army!
The Croydonians publicly accused the government of the planet Christophsis of practicing racial discrimination against them, and cited numerous cases, including those in which human bosses brutally exploited the Croydonians. They said that their race had been discriminated against for a long time and could no longer bear oppression, so they sought autonomy. If the Republic did not give them an answer, then they would join the Confederation of Independent Systems.
The riots that occurred on the planet Christophersis are no small matter, because this can be said to be the most important planet in the outer ring star region of the Galactic Republic. The economic development of this planet is even higher than that of many inner ring planets. Perhaps the only disadvantage is that industry and There is not enough manufacturing.
Chancellor Sheev Palpatine immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss the chaos on the planet Christopher Sith. The congressmen quarreled for another three days, and it was not until July 6 that they made the decision to send an envoy to mediate the racial disputes on the planet Christophsis.
As for the representatives of the mission, Sheev Palpatine already has a candidate. 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 do everything arbitrarily. In this case, the parliament, which still has great influence, will definitely not May 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 Senator Padmé Amidala also won them many sympathy points. Due to their protests, the bill for military expansion has been delayed.
So Palpatine simply found a high-sounding reason to let Bail Organa lead the special envoy to visit the planet Christophsis.
Bail Organa had no choice. Since he advocated peace, and Speaker Palpatine did ask him to solve the problem in a peaceful way, he had no reason to shirk.
So the next day, July 7, Bail Organa led a Republic mission to the planet Christophsis.
However, during this period, the situation on the planet Christophsis became worse and worse. The riots caused by the Croydonians intensified. They also raised slogans such as 'Down with the exploiters of mankind' and launched attacks on their former employers. attacked.
Many of these Croydonians work as mercenaries or security guards, and they hold many security codes and door keys. If these people fight back, many companies and factories on the planet Christophsis will be completely unable to withstand it. Many places were looted.
Under such circumstances, the government authorities of the planet Christophsis finally couldn't bear it anymore. They began to reorganize their troops and carried out an armed suppression of the rioting Croydon people.
However, the situation is not as easy as the government authorities of the planet Christophsis imagined. Although the rioting Croydon soldiers were unable to obtain heavy equipment such as tanks, they already had basic weapons after all, and what was even worse was that they had more weapons 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 Hutts."
Parcel Argent smiled brightly and said to this man: "Don't worry, Santa Claus, as long as you can successfully capture the planet Christophersis, you can get more than 10 times the profit!!"
"Then, I wish you success." Yuri Orlov was noncommittal and just smiled enigmatically.
