1399. The scapegoat
"You..." Stella Guerrera wanted to say something, but found that she had no position at all. She could only gritted her teeth and said: "Do you know that this Zhang Jiarui is a separatist weapons designer? The weapons he designed , may be killing thousands of people!" Judgment turned back to look at her and said lightly: "I know, so I want to take him back because he is very important to us."
"But! But he was once our enemy!" Stella clenched her fists.
"If you continue like this, then it will be the same now." The judgmental voice was still very calm.
"You bastard! Do you know how many of us were killed by the Thor mecha designed by Zhang Jiarui!!" a resistance soldier nearby roared.
Judgment nodded,
"I know General Kalani's plan and Dr. Zhang Jiarui's design. Before coming here, I had a phone call with General Kalani and learned about the situation. At that time, General Kalani asked him to drive Thor because of this experiment. Only Dr. Zhang can best control these weapons."
"Then if that's the case, why are you coming to help us! Are you here to laugh at us?" Stella Guerra asked sternly.
reach
"I thought you should know my origin. After all, the person who appears on the planet Onderon at this time will not be a wandering Jedi knight." Judgment said,
"As for why I'm helping you, it's because you are saving civilians."
"Could it be that your actions of saving civilians are also for the benefit of your separatism?" Stella said loudly.
"Why do you think that saving civilians is not in our interests?" Judgment asked strangely.
"Then you are willing to help us overthrow Saw Gerrera's rule because it is in your interests, right?" Stella mocked.
"That's right." Judgment nodded.
"Then, I refuse your help! Our planet and our beliefs are not your turn as a separatist to interfere!" Stella Guerrera said coldly.
"Okay." Judgment was very cold and turned to leave. reach
"Wait a minute!" Ramses Dundup shouted, stopping the trial. Then he said to Stella,
"Accept her help! This is our last chance!"
"You also said that we should not stand on either side of the Republic or separatism!" Stella said loudly,
"Zhang Jiarui killed hundreds of us! And her purpose was to save him! Why should I work with such a person!?" A faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of the mouth under the judgment mask,
"Thousands of people? That doesn't change anything. If you think so, then I suggest you accept Saw Gerrera's rule, because you can't change anything at all."
"Do you know our struggles? Do you know our beliefs? If you don't know, why do you ignore our sacrifices!" A resistance soldier said angrily.
Judgment glanced at him and said calmly: "I once killed millions of Mandalorian Crusaders for the Galactic Republic on the planet Jabur, but I still failed to change anything. So, you are the same. Sacrifice. And dedication is not the reason to change the world, because sacrifice without purpose is just death in vain.”
"Ha! Millions more? Then I said that I killed 30 million battle robots in Laxus yesterday!" the soldier mocked.
Judgment didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked towards the door again. reach
"Then how can I find a way to change?!" Stella Guerrera asked loudly from behind,
"In the face of this war, our planet is so weak and helpless... What else can we change?"
"Go out and look around more. Because... I'm also looking for the answer." Judgment replied, and continued walking outside.
Stella rushed up and grabbed her black cloak and said, "I ask you... to help us overthrow Saw Gerrera's rule!" Several other resistance fighters were shocked.
"Stella, do you really want her to help us?"
"Unite all the forces that can be united! I think... this is the first step I should take!" Stella said firmly.
... In Izzy City, with the entry of millions of Republic troops, the city began to become crowded. Republic soldiers patrolling could be seen everywhere on the streets, or they were out shopping in twos and threes because they were on vacation.
However, as the terrible casualties on the Dirksen satellite battlefield gradually increased, going to the battlefield became a lingering nightmare in the hearts of these soldiers.
Whether they were coming back for treatment due to minor injuries, or coming back to rest in rotation, or soldiers who had not yet had their turn to go to the front line, they began to feel anxious.
Under such circumstances, some bad things finally began to appear. Several Republic soldiers went to the store to buy something, but they quarreled because they had a disagreement with the boss, so they directly fired their blaster rifles and shot the store owner to death on the spot, and finally set the store on fire.
There are also some soldiers who are driving the stolen hover cars around the city in a frenzy. Whenever they see civilians on the planet Onderon along the way, they will shoot them!
And many young civilian women on the planet Onderon were even more concerned by the soldiers. In just one day, hundreds of extremely heinous sexual harassment, sexual harassment, and even sexual assault cases occurred!
For a time, everyone in the whole city was in danger. The officers of the Galactic Republic Army ignored such things because they also knew that the pressure on these soldiers when facing the meat grinder-like battlefield of the Dexon satellite was naturally extremely huge.
Under such circumstances, it would be great if there was a place where they could vent.
Therefore, these officers did not do much to stop such crimes. Of course, they did not do anything. The army's military police were still patrolling everywhere, taking some soldiers who had committed crimes and putting them in solitary confinement or immediately throwing them on the battlefield.
Anyway, their bottom line is that as long as no one is killed, they can do whatever they want. The officer's attitude actually encouraged the inner beastliness of those soldiers.
They began to act wantonly in the city with the thought of having a good time before dying, and all kinds of shocking crimes happened again and again!
Anyway, the most serious punishment is to go to the front line immediately, so go ahead! Even if I don’t go now, I will go sooner or later, but at least I had a good time before going and it was worth it.
Under such circumstances, the public security in Izzy City began to become extremely bad, even to the point where it was impossible to survive at all!
There is simply no way the Military Police of the Galactic Republic can stop every crime that happens! Many residents could not bear the humiliation and began to flee outside the city. However, at this time, even escape became a luxury.
Because the Galactic Republic has millions of troops here, it also needs enough manpower. Including farmers, construction workers, chefs, nurses, doctors, handymen, entertainment staff and even tools for venting, how could it be possible for everyone to run away?
Therefore, with the cooperation of the current king, Saw Gerrera, Izzy City banned citizens from leaving the city. Not only that, he also waved a blank check from the Republic and recruited various types of skilled workers from other cities on the planet, with priority given to young women.
Yes, Saw Gerrera is cooperating with the Galactic Republic, including all their actions! ...At this time, So-Gerrera, the king of the planet Onderon, was sitting on the throne of the Temple of Unity, listening to the reports from his men.
"Your Majesty, there was a robbery and murder case in the commercial center of Ize City. It was the soldiers of the Republic... They killed more than 30 people there..." an official said carefully.
So-Gerrera waved his hand and said impatiently: "Don't bother me with such trivial matters! A few dead people don't matter? The Army of the Republic has its own gendarmerie to take care of this matter, so let's not get involved. Wait until they capture Dirk. After the Sen satellite, we will naturally leave here." Da
"But the problem is that the gendarmerie never came, and that group of murderous soldiers were still killing each other..." the official said.
So-Gerrera's face turned cold.
"What do you mean? I've already said I don't care, why are you still telling me this? Do you think that as a king, I will casually overturn the last sentence I said?"
"No... no... no, no..." So-Gerrera snorted and said, "Then let me tell you why! This planet has been rotten for a long time!" He got down from the throne and kicked it. The official was kicked to the ground with a ferocious look on his face.
"That's right! It's been rotten for a long time! People on this entire planet are working for the Separatists! Everything they do will become part of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser! Did you know? In the business just now How many people were killed in the center? 30? Can you guarantee that any of them had ever produced screws for separatist warships? Or were they all involved?" So-Gerrera became more and more angry as he spoke, and then kicked the The official kicked aside,
"Do you understand now? Those people are all separatist rebels! They deserve to die! After the troops of the Galactic Republic leave, the remaining people are the ones who are truly loyal to our planet Onderon!"
"Yes...yes..." The official huddled on the ground, holding his head and agreed quickly. At this time, one of his accomplices came up. This man was still wearing a gorgeous dress that didn't fit well, and there was a sign hanging on his chest - Supreme Minister of Finance.
"Boss!! Those brats of the Royal Guard are still making trouble! They want to maintain fucking law and order! What to do? These guys have many people and guns. Should we ask the Galactic Republic's army to destroy them?" This 'Finance Minister' spoke in a very vulgar manner. He was a person with little education at all, and the matters he reported were not the responsibility of the Finance Minister at all.
It can be seen how chaotic the administrative core of the planet Onderon was under the rule of Saw Gerrera.
So-Gerrera slapped the Minister of Finance on the forehead and yelled angrily: "Are you sick? Those Royal Guards surrendered! Now you let the Republic Army kill them, who are you hitting? Where's your face? Aren't you clearly making things difficult for the Republic?"
"But there's nothing we can do if they keep making trouble! I think they've never thought highly of us! Otherwise..." the Finance Minister said, and walked over and said viciously: "Otherwise we will supply the food in their barracks to It's broken..." He said with a ferocious look on his face, and scratched his neck with his thumb.
So-Gerrera sneered,
"You guys are just uneducated. Is there any difference between cutting off their supply and killing them directly? Do you really think that the current media and public opinion are blind? Don't cause trouble for ourselves! After the army of the Republic leaves, this star The planet is our own!" Da
"That……"
"I have already reported to Governor Tarkin, saying that in order to eradicate the separatist forces and maintain the unity of the Galactic Republic, it is our duty on the planet Onderon! Therefore, I am willing to send all 200,000 Royal Guards to the Dexon satellite , participate in this combat operation to eliminate separatism!" So-Gerrera said.
The Finance Minister suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha! As expected of the boss! Tall! Really tall!"
"Hahahaha!" So-Gerrera also laughed proudly,
"Do you understand now? I am using the help of the Galactic Republic and Separatism to kill all those who oppose us! This is killing three birds with one stone!"...
"Let the Onderon Royal Guard participate in the battle?" On the bridge of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser as his flagship, Wilhuff Tarkin, the governor of the Fourth Army, looked at the report sent by Saw Gerrera with a smile on his face. It's a mocking look,
"This guy So-Gerrera is really ruthless. This time, he will kill those 200,000 people."
"He has done everything possible to consolidate his throne." said the adjutant on the side.
"But with the current situation on the Dirksen satellite, it would be good to have 200,000 more cannon fodder." Datakin sneered,
"Reject this proposal." The adjutant was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "Mr. Governor, why do you refuse? This is a good thing that comes to your doorstep." Tarkin glanced at him and said, "So you still have to study more. , don’t fail to see the most critical factor every time, and let me teach you in the end.” He said this, but his eyes were full of pride, and he continued,
"So-Gerrera is a terrorist. No matter he is a king or an emperor now, this essence cannot be changed. Can't I see the bad things he is doing now? No, let him do this. Not only that, I We must also support him in doing so.”
"Why... why?" The adjutant asked sincerely, not knowing whether it was intentional or not.
"In this way, when we end this battle and liberate the planet Onderon, the people who hate him will not hate us, but him as the king!" Tarkin waved his hand and said, "Then when the time comes, I will hate him again. Arrest them on various ready-made charges, conduct public trials, and publicly execute them, and those civilians will come back to our side, and the dispute on the planet will be settled."
