We have written an extraordinary history, but days of peace and tranquility are seldom recorded. ——Professor Chi Jianjun, "Founders of the Fourth Reich", biography of Chi Jianjun, last page.

20BBY, ​​July 6th, two-thirds of the year has passed (the Star Wars world has 10 months a year, 35 days a month, emphasize again), and the galaxy is still raging with war.

The Galactic Republic gradually began to come out of the shadow of the Jedi Knights, in fact, it would not do if it did not come out. Now the Jedi Knights have become a taboo word in the Republic, and it is not even allowed to talk about it.

Coupled with the continuous propaganda of the powerful propaganda agency of the Republic, the Jedi Knights were exaggerated as an evil that deliberately provoked wars, launched massacres everywhere, and controlled the core of power in the Republic, and even tried to assassinate Speaker Palpatine for their own power. organize.

In fact, the people of the Milky Way hardly see the Jedi Knights, and they can only hear the legends of the Jedi Knights. Moreover, the actions of the Jedi Knights are actually very low-key most of the time. For example, when they arrested the spice dealers, many times they disarmed the other party and asked them to surrender themselves. Driven by the Force, the defenses of these disarmed spice dealers' minds are easily breached by the Force, and they subconsciously follow what the Jedi Knights say.

That leaves even fewer people actually seeing a Jedi.

After the outbreak of the war, Schiff-Palpatine also had a whole set of plans. In his propaganda, the Jedi Knights are often linked to war, such as which place under the leadership of which Jedi master captured a certain planet, how many people killed the separatist rebels, and other news.

With more news like this, people's impression of the Jedi Knights has naturally changed.

Because in such an interstellar era, most of the information that the public actually knows is from this planet. All news across the galaxy requires the use of hyperspace communication technology, so it is basically controlled by some large communication companies. As for the expensive Galaxy Holographic Network, there are only a few people who can afford it.

In addition, Schiff Palpatine naturally took the media and propaganda agencies into his own hands very early on, and the power of public opinion is sometimes stronger than a thousand Star Destroyers!

Therefore, after the Jedi Knights were exterminated and the implementation of being wanted was formed, such an atmosphere of hatred for the Jedi Knights has quickly been achieved in the Galactic Republic.

After that, Palpatine began to push the parliament to pass a bill requiring that all force-sensitive people above the standard in the country be nationalized and recruited, and then undergo centralized training, and according to their different situations, assign Go to different Force-sensitive organizations.

It's just that the implementation of this bill was not smooth, and the group of congressmen headed by Bail Organa strongly opposed it. They always believed that the Jedi Order was innocent, and the Galactic Republic should not overthrow the Jedi Order. mode.

But they opposed it, and the influence of the Jedi Order in other fields of the Galactic Republic, especially in the military, was quickly eliminated. A few months later, the Republic's army regained its combat capability.

It's just that in the current army of the Republic, there are basically no people who are sensitive to the force. When facing Earl Dooku and Tang Xiao's dark side powerhouses on the battlefield, they will still suffer a lot.

In this regard, Palpatine is secretly promoting his own plan with the help of his advisor Black Hole, and this plan directly ignores the existence of the Parliament, and more than one dark and mysterious dark side force organization is preparing.

So at this time, the steps of the Galactic Republic's counterattack started again.

In the northern region, the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army have almost cleaned up the separatist forces in their jurisdictions. After all, there are not too strong separatist planets in this direction.

However, within the scope of the Seventh and Eighth Armies, the attacks of the Geths made the Galactic Republic very uncomfortable. Recently, the attacks of the Geths on the planet Phaeda have been extremely violent. This dilutes the joy of victory of the Ninth Army and Tenth Army, and the entire northern border is still shrouded in clouds.

In the northeast direction of the plane star map, the Galactic Republic once again launched an attack on the Salukami planet guarded by General Grievous. However, due to the rebellion of the Second Galaxy Army, the strength of the Republic in this direction has been weakened a lot, and it is still impossible to eat General Grievous in one bite.

And the situation on the side of the Second Galaxy Army became more and more complicated when Severance Tann launched a sudden attack and defeated Master Windu and the Second Galaxy Army. One of the most direct results is the disintegration of the Neutral Galaxy Alliance.

On the Mandalorian planet, Vizsla, the leader of the Death Guard, has repeatedly expressed his loyalty to the Galactic Republic, and hopes that the Republic will send troops to reinforce this direction. However, after the neutral galaxy alliance fell apart, the attitude of a large number of galaxies in this direction has become somewhat unclear, so the Republic does not plan to step on this muddy water for the time being.

For Chaofan-Vizsla, the Republic just gave some verbal promises and it was over.

Therefore, in this direction, the Galactic Republic’s plan is to concentrate its forces to attack the planet Salukami repeatedly, trying to open the last portal of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies and enter their core area.

Now that the Destroyer, the second ship of the Conqueror-class battleship, and the Shadow, the second ship of the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship, have appeared, the Galactic Republic is very worried that if left alone, more super battleships will appear. After all, the confederation of independent galaxies that controls the planet Dak and the port of Parmant has a very strong industrial capacity.

The eastern border of the plane star map is mainly the Hutt space. In this direction, the Galactic Republic will not rashly provoke the Hutts who are in chaos, and naturally there will be no military actions.

In the southeast region of the plane star map, the Republic's counterattack was also quite smooth. The Supreme Strategic Command planned to try to liberate the planet Reynolds and rebuild the 14th Army within two months. But the planet Christophsis is a smelly and hard rock. The Republic's plan is to rebuild the 14th Army and then take care of it slowly.

Then there is the key point, the direction of the southwest border—the Duchy of Dawn!

In fact, as far as the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic is concerned, their determination to storm the Principality of Dawn is insufficient. Because the previous attacks on the Principality of Dawn failed several times, not only that, the Principality of Dawn also took advantage of their handling of the affairs of the Jedi Order, and suddenly attacked, crippling the 17th Army in the Battle of the Ennaco Galaxy.

This battle made the Supreme Strategic Command even more hesitant, because until now, they have not found any way to fight against the Titan battleship Xuanwu! What made them even more hesitant was that General Ling Liang, who was in command of the Xuanwu, knew how to advance and retreat. After the battle of the Ennako Galaxy, she did not venture in to attack the planet Naboo, but retreated directly. Put on a posture that I won't go out until you come.

It looks like a snapping turtle with a mouth full of fangs, but still shrank itself into its shell...

But attacking the Duchy of Dawn is the determination of Speaker Schiff Palpatine!
