1374. The current situation of Onderon planet
On the planet Onderon, before the war actually broke out, Tang Xiao had already started building large-scale factories and interstellar shipyards on this planet through his relationship with the Interstellar Banking Association at that time.
At the same time, Count Dooku also asked Sanji Rush to launch a coup to replace the old king Ramses Dundup, which completely turned the planet towards separatism. Moreover, the factory on this planet at that time was jointly built by Tyran Heavy Industries and the Interstellar Banking Association, and it was very large in scale.
In the next few years, the planet Onderon stood firmly on the side of the Separatists, and the Galactic Republic also had many scruples about this inner-ring planet. After all, the political influence of the inner-ring planet was not as great as that of the middle and outer rings. , so the Republic still hopes to focus on peaceful evolution.
After all, at that time, the planet Onderon was only openly leaning towards separatism in terms of political leanings, but there were no very obvious acts of war. However, when the Galactic Republic later discovered that Behemoth-class battlecruisers were being produced for the Separatists on the planet Onderon, they discovered that something was wrong.
It's just that the war was already in full swing at that time, and coupled with the fact that it still had illusions about the internal power seizure and evolution of the resistance forces supporting the local planet, the Galactic Republic has never been able to remove this thorn in its side.
In fact, it was still due to greed - the calculation of the Galactic Republic at the time was that if the Resistance's actions were successful, then they might have the opportunity to take over the complete production line of Behemoth-class battlecruisers. If this could be realized If so, it would indeed be a huge improvement for the Galactic Republic, which has always suffered from battleship performance.
To be honest, if Tang Xiao knew this plan of the Galactic Republic, he would definitely sneer and tell the Galactic Republic: You are thinking about Taozi (please read Taozi in English).
As for the planet Onderon, due to the huge investment from the Interstellar Banking Association and the huge factory complex and interstellar shipyard built by Tyran Heavy Industry on Dexon, one of the four satellites of the planet, this has provided the planet with several Millions of jobs and very substantial revenue.
At least in the past, the planet Onderon, with a population of only 4 million, never imagined that it would one day have such a huge income. And now the population has soared to about 20 million, which has further improved the strength of the planet.
This has allowed the planet Onderon to develop rapidly. In addition, the planet Onderon, as one of the inner ring planets, naturally has an excellent industrial and technological foundation. This is mainly reflected in the fact that Ondelon planet already has factories capable of processing some high-precision parts, and it also has a very complete higher education system that can provide a large number of outstanding talents.
Tang Xiao, who was eager to establish his own peripheral industrial system at that time, did not think too much and directly decided on this planet in the inner ring to develop and produce Behemoth-class battlecruisers.
After all, if you choose an outer planet, you may be targeted by Count Dooku, who was still obsessed with Darth Sidious at the time. On the other hand, most of the industrial and scientific research foundations of most outer ring planets are too weak. If they are left in the outer ring, they will be safe, but the advent and mass production of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser will definitely be delayed for a year or two.
At least Tang Xiao's plan at that time was to hope that the planet Onderon could be like the Given people's Yago-Dur planet, able to jump back and forth between the Republic and Separatism for a while.
His plan was half successful and half failed.
Half the success is that the planet Onderon has indeed developed the Behemoth-class battlecruiser under the eyes of the Galactic Republic, much earlier than expected, and both Count Dooku and the Galactic Republic are not aware of this. Unaware of it - this is the darkness under the lamp, and the planet Onderon was indeed inconspicuous before this.
Moreover, the planet Onderon also produced dozens of prototype ships, and some of them even participated in the battle on the planet Christophsis in the early days of the war.
And half of the failure is that now Tang Xiao has to face the crisis of Onderon planet having a high probability of being captured by the Galactic Republic.
For the people of Onderon, their interest in silver
The hostility of the River Republic is also evident. As a planet with a good industrial foundation but a sparse population and insufficient size, Onderon planet does not enjoy many benefits as an inner-ring planet. On the contrary, they themselves are also the targets of exploitation by the big capitalists of the Galactic Republic.
Therefore, after Tyran Heavy Industry settled in, many people on the planet Onderon accepted employment. After all, manufacturing warships is not just a matter of one or two industries. This is a huge system involving dozens of fields and hundreds of millions of processes. Just such a battleship is enough to make the entire planet revolve around this production line.
Therefore, the people on the planet Onderon receive the wages of Tyranid Heavy Industries, enjoy benefits, and experience an improvement in their status in interstellar affairs. Naturally, they have no good impressions of the Galactic Republic.
What's even more deadly is the rebellion led by Saw Gerrera and Steele Gerrera on the planet Onderon.
Because of wrong strategies, So-Gerrera became more and more extreme. Their rebel movement not only failed to overthrow the separatist government, but also caused a large number of civilian casualties and destruction of livelihood facilities due to numerous terrorist attacks and sabotage operations. , which turned them into street rats.
Later, under deliberate propaganda, Saw Gerrera's rebellion was portrayed as a terrorist organization supported by the Galactic Republic, which made the people on the planet even more hostile to the Galactic Republic.
After the design severely damaged the rebel movement, General Kalani, the super tactical robot sent by Count Dooku to the planet Onderon, publicly executed Mina Bonteri and others, the parliamentarian representative suspected of secretly colluding with the rebel movement, and killed the planet The regent, the disgraced Sanghi-Rashi, claimed that he was killed while trying to assassinate the former king, Ramses Dundup.
Afterwards, General Kalani publicly announced the release of Ramses Dundup who was imprisoned by Sanji Rush, and publicly invited the former king Dundup to return to the throne of the king. This series of actions shows the wisdom of General Kalani. He is no longer an ordinary super tactical robot. He is the only one among many tactical robots that has developed self-awareness.
Ramses Dundup understood that General Kalani's plan was to use his popularity to bring Onderon to a decisive battle with the Galactic Republic, so he did not respond and simply disappeared from public view.
He knew that whether he refused or agreed, it was the wrong choice.
But General Kalani's actions did not stop. He declared the planet Onderon to be under martial law, and then...
Fully prepared for war!
