The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2216: Turbulence in Chis Territory

  2217: The Chiss Territory Incident

October 12th, the last month of 10BBY.

The Galactic Empire suddenly issued a very strong statement. In this statement, the Galactic Empire directly accused the Principality of Dawn of military occupation of Chiss Territory as illegal, anti-humanitarian, and naked act of aggression.

Crueya Vandron, spokesman for the Galactic Empire, almost cursed at the Principality of Dawn during a press conference. He claimed that the Principality of Dawn had not fulfilled its duty as a vassal of the Galactic Empire and refused to pay taxes to the Empire. Grand Duke Tang Xiao of Dawn had never gone to the center of the Empire to meet the Emperor in person, and this time, he directly trampled on the Empire's constitution and launched a foreign invasion without the Empire's permission.

Krua-Vanderlon demanded that the Principality of Dawn must pay the 1800 billion in overdue taxes, withdraw its troops from Chiss Territory, dissolve the current Chiss Territory government, and have the Chiss people themselves re-elect a new democratically elected government.

In fact, when Tang Xiao and Palpatine signed the Dawn Accords, it was indeed stipulated that the Principality of Dawn had to pay a tax to the Galactic Empire every year. Tang Xiao understood that this tax was the toll for the Rendili trade route at the time, and the Galactic Empire publicly declared that this money was the tax paid by the Principality of Dawn, which also showed that the Principality of Dawn recognized its status as a vassal of the Empire.

So in the first few years, the Principality of Dawn did give money.

However, as the stargate in the Rendili galaxy was completed, the traffic between Rendili and the Principality of Dawn no longer required the Rendili trade route, and the Principality of Dawn had no leverage over the Empire. So Tang Xiao used the excuse that the Principality of Dawn had a high fiscal deficit in order to accommodate immigrants, and then casually proposed an annual interest rate of 20%, which he never paid.

Therefore, the 1800 billion that Kruya Van der Long requested was actually calculated based on the high interest rate of 20% that Tang Xiao casually mentioned at the time, with interest compounded.

Facing the aggressive Galactic Empire, the spokesman for the Principality of Dawn, Francis Underwood, was very calm. He also publicly stated that the current Chiss Territory government was a democratically elected government and there was no need for a new election. He thanked the Galactic Empire for its concern and said that Chiss Territory was doing well now. As for the 1800 billion in taxes, the Principality of Dawn had just defeated Mnggal-Mnggal and saved the Milky Way. Even if there was no credit, there was still hard work. The expedition was very expensive, so it was better to continue to owe it.

The Galactic Empire immediately announced the re-blockade of the Rendili trade route and implemented military occupation of the planets along this trade route. Most of those planets were previously clients of Rendili Interstellar Dynamics, and they had always been wavering between the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn. Now the Galactic Empire was no longer pretending and directly implemented military occupation to give them a good beating.

Then Krua-Vanderlon said that the Galactic Empire would send an investigation team to the Chiss Territory to investigate the "human rights situation" of the Chiss people and evaluate the military aggression of the Principality of Dawn.

Francis Underwood also responded that the Galactic Empire investigation team was welcome to come, but due to the inconvenience of transportation in the Chiss Territory, there were many interstellar pirates, and he hoped that the adults in the investigation team would pay attention to safety.

……

The capital of the Chiss Territory, the planet Hisla, the office of the governor of the district.

Chiss Territory Governor Sheen Morabito sat at his desk, looking at the report in front of him with a frown. He looked up and said to Admiral Chiara sitting next to him: "It seems that the Galactic Empire wants to interfere in the internal affairs of Chiss Territory."

Qiara shook her head and said, "This will be very troublesome. In fact, my intelligence department has also told me that the remaining forces of those families have indeed become more active recently."

Sean Morabito showed an unpredictable smile, "I think, let them make trouble. This is not active enough..." "Want to solve all problems at once?" Admiral Chiara said, "It's still a bit risky. If we can't control the collusion between the remaining forces of the family and the Galactic Empire, the Chiss Territory may really fall into civil war again."

Sean Morabito stood up, adjusted his favorite tall hat, and said with a smile: "If those family forces can really drag the Chis Territory into a civil war, I will admire them. However, they are destined to fail."

"I hope your judgment is correct. The Eternal will arrive at the planet Hisla tomorrow, and I will have the battleship ready as soon as possible." Chiara said.

Sean Morabito said, "Oh, that's perfect. I will ask Abathur to send a swarm of Zerg to the edge of Chiss Territory again and destroy some villages. Then, I will let the Ancient leave Hisla and go to the border of Chiss Territory to resist the Zerg'invasion."

"Yes." Admiral Chiara also stood up, saluted Morabito, turned and left the office.

……

After defeating the Grisk Hegemony, the Chiss Territory also entered a period of peaceful development. Now the situation in the entire star region is very stable. The defeat of the Grisk Hegemony has allowed the Chiss Territory to truly establish its absolute advantage in this star region.

But on the surface, the situation around Chis Territory is still very complicated.

The first are many civilizations and races, led by Kilgi of the Kingdom of Light. They were previously controlled by the Grisk people. After Black Star was killed by Tang Xiao and the Grisk hegemony retreated completely, although these civilizations and races broke free from control, they all became dispirited.

Therefore, all these civilizations and planets were taken over by the Holy Spirit Sect. Through the Spiritual Temple, these civilizations were brainwashed and controlled, so that at least they could regain some consciousness and survive.

However, these civilizations did not join the Chiss Territory and remained independent on the surface. So it seemed that there were still many civilizations and races around the Chiss Territory.

The situation of the Kingdom of Light, Kilgi, is somewhat different. First of all, the Kingdom of Light is very large, almost second only to the powerful force of the Chiss Territory, so they are not completely controlled by the Grisk people, but some of the country's top leaders were controlled, so they launched a war against the Chiss Territory.

However, when the main fleet of the Kingdom of Light, Kilgi, was completely destroyed by Admiral Chiara's attack, the Kingdom of Light declared its surrender and signed an unequal treaty with the Chiss Territory that was humiliating and detrimental to the country. The most important content of the treaty was that they must allow the Holy Advent Church to preach in the Kingdom of Light.

For the Kingdom of Light, a country founded on religion, this treaty was no different from killing them, so they rejected it sternly. But Admiral Chiara immediately launched a new round of offensives, carrying out an orbital airdrop on the cathedral, the capital of the Kingdom of Light, smashing the cathedral to pieces and arresting almost all the religious leaders.

Then the treaty was finalized.
