2225 War Economy
The battles that started again almost all revolved around the galaxies of the Neutral Alliance. These galaxies were actually distributed in various parts of the Milky Way Galaxy, so although the war was not intense, it still covered a large area.
These galaxies of the Neutral Alliance used to have the support of Mandalore, and the Galactic Republic had no time to care about these galaxies. But that did not mean that the Republic would tolerate these galaxies that were clamoring for peace and neutrality in the face of national crisis. The coup and rebellion of Mandalore gave the Republic the best excuse to attack. Since Mandalore had rebelled, why should they still believe that they could remain neutral?
Therefore, this was an encirclement movement. The Milky Way Republic and the Independent Star Confederation had both targeted the Neutral Alliance. Because after more than a month of peace negotiations, the military strength of both sides had been restored to a certain extent. The frontline galaxies around the hyperspace channel had also strengthened their defenses. Under such circumstances, rashly attacking would only result in a head-on collision with an iron plate. However, the Neutral Alliance was different. On the one hand, they could occupy these galaxies to expand their own power, and on the other hand, they could observe the movements of the other side's military forces and see if they could seize any gaps.
The 1,500 galaxies of the Neutral Alliance had no room for resistance. When they chose to be neutral, they lost the support of the Republic. All the barriers were on the word 'neutral', but once the word no longer had magic, they became lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The Galactic Republic sent almost all the Jedi Warriors and fleets they could mobilize, and the Independent Star Confederation also attacked everywhere. General Grievous, Asajj Ventress, Trench, Jane Connor, Ma Tuk, Frans, Fox Deity, and the former Jedi Master Ron Shrien, Pang Crell, and others who had fallen to the dark side and joined the Confederation in the previous war also joined the invasion of the Neutral Alliance.
In fact, in this war, there were many Jedi Warriors who had fallen to the dark side and joined the Independent Star Confederation. There were about a hundred of them, but there were only two Jedi Masters among them. These people gradually began to occupy a pivotal position in the Independent Star Confederation, which lacked high-end combat power, and further expanded the power of the Confederation. It was also because of the participation of these fallen Jedi Warriors that the Confederation's military commanders were no longer monopolized by the five business giants. Oh, that's not right. Now that the Trade Guild has been chased out of the military command, there are only four trade giants left.
When Tang Yu noticed this change, he could not help but feel emotional. In fact, if the Independent Star System Confederacy could win the war, the situation might be better than imagined. This was because there were still some self-correcting laws in society, military, and politics. But that was all.
In the process of attacking the Neutral Alliance, more than two months had passed. Due to the negligible resistance from these galaxies, the Milky Way Republic had actually gained a lot of breathing room. Regarding this, Tang Yu could only smile bitterly.
Since the start of the first Geonosis Battle and the eruption of the Milky Way Galaxy's civil war, the second year of the war had come to an end. This also meant that the war resources prepared by the Galactic Republic and the Independent Star Federation had long been exhausted. In order to maintain the war, they could only rely on the strength of the countries themselves, commonly known as mobilization.
In fact, in the first two years of the Milky Way Galaxy's civil war, there was actually no mobilization. It could be said that it was a proxy war. But when the war started again, natural soldiers began to appear in the Republic's army. In contrast, there were fewer changes on the Independent Star System Confederacy's side. It was still the robot army fighting, but this did not mean that the Confederation's situation was better. When there was no need for manpower, there was a need for money.
For this war, the Confederation had invested too much money, and because of the five business giants' extortion, all the participating galaxies had to bear a heavy economic burden. Because in this war, almost every place was taken over by the business giants, including the army, battleships, commanders, and so on. Therefore, the Independent Star System Confederacy was forming an economy dominated by the business giants. And this economy was not the Confederation's own economic system, because all the industrial output of the Confederation would be converted into credits, which would then be used to settle the war expenses. This was in fact, double exploitation. Under such a system, the Confederation's own economy and industry could not develop at all.
And this perverted economic model was named by Darth Preggs — Substitution Economy. This kind of economy could not last long. It was extremely fragile and could be easily destroyed. It was also the last and most terrifying shackle on the Independent Star System Confederacy. Darth Preggs, who was also Darth Sidious' master, was a truly terrifying Sith Lord. Whether it was strength or intelligence, he far surpassed Darth Sidious. The plan for the Milky Way Galaxy's civil war was also proposed and planned by him. Tang Yu should be very glad that his opponent was not Darth Preggs. He had already been assassinated by Darth Sidious more than ten years ago.
If this economic problem could not be solved, then the Independent Star System Confederacy would be easily defeated by the Galactic Republic, who had already begun to mobilize. In the original plot, because the plan was going smoothly, Darth Sidious did not take this last step. But now, both sides were evenly matched, and the Confederation even had a slight advantage. So, the situation was not so easy to predict.
Through his own arrangements, Tang Yu had placed nooses around the Republic's neck, but wasn't the Republic also holding the nooses around the Confederation's neck?
…
"SSR, help me stabilize the warship!" Obi-Wan Kenobi said loudly as he pressed the button on the control stick. The blaster cannon in front of the Delta-7 warship released a dazzling light, and the enemy's Z-95 space warship in front was instantly torn to pieces by the powerful firepower.
At this time, through his Force Perception, he sensed that another Z-95 space warship would bite his back in a few seconds. Before he could say anything, he saw his warship suddenly roll on its own, and at the same time, the SSR's rigid voice sounded. "Enemy warship detected approaching. Calculating flight trajectory. Executing the most effective evasive plan."
Following that, Obi-Wan Kenobi felt that his warship's speed had more than doubled, and it was continuously rolling and circling while performing all kinds of unimaginable maneuvers. This series of movements made his stomach churn, and he almost threw up. But Obi-Wan still forcefully circulated his Force to calm himself down, and began to fine-tune the warship's flight trajectory. Then, he used the Force to predict the opponent's flight trajectory, and suddenly pressed the fire button!
Whoosh ~ ~ ~ ~ The Delta-7 warship steadily landed on the war-torn planet, and stopped on a landing platform.
With a plop, Obi-Wan Kenobi jumped down from the warship, and his legs turned to jelly as he lay on the ground, shaking his head weakly. At this time, the Navigation Droid with a hemispherical head and cylindrical body in front of his warship also descended from the cockpit, and came to his side. "According to my scan, your physical fitness should be able to withstand this level of flight …"
Obi-Wan suddenly waved his hand to cut it off. "Get away from me, SSR! I don't want to see you now! I just want to be alone … I don't think I'll ever fly a plane again in this life … "
"Although I'm very willing to leave, there's a message. Do you want to see it?" the SSR said.
"Let me see …" Obi-Wan still maintained his position on the ground.
[… Another coup has occurred on Mandalore. The Death God Guards led by Extraordinary Vizsla have overthrown the rule of President Aymek, and established the Mandalorian military government …]
Obi-Wan's expression changed, and he jumped up. "SSR, get ready to take off! I want to go to Mandalore! "
