2245. A Counterattack.
The Corellian Star System's higher-ups, led by the Sacoria Triumvirate, naturally would not let the matter rest. After Dan Solow stood up and took all the credit for everything and cut off the communication with the midpoint station, they immediately took action.
Needless to say, this sudden incident almost scared them out of their wits. They had placed all their hopes on the midpoint. If anything were to happen to the midpoint, not only would Corellia not be able to achieve independence, all of the higher-ups would be sent to the gallows as rebels by the Republic!
What made them even more frightened was that the Soro Family had actually risen from the ashes! In fact, after the revolution 300 years ago, the Soro Family still retained their position. At that time, the Corellian Star System was like a constitutional monarchy. However, after Krol Suolo's restoration failed 20 years ago, the Suolo Family suffered heavy casualties and directly fell to become a very ordinary small family.
However, the Sacoria Triumvirate knew very well that the Soro Family's influence in Corellian Star System for tens of thousands of years was not something that could be erased in a mere few decades. That was why they were very determined to send Krol Soro to the gallows without even a public trial. They had once thought that Dan Solow, who had disappeared during the turmoil, had died outside. But now, he had returned! They had also lost contact with the midpoint station. Could it be that it was as Dan Solow said, that the midpoint station had already been occupied?
The Republic's attitude on this matter was very clear. After Dan Solow announced the restoration of the Soro Family, the Republic immediately sent their blessings and publicly supported the Soro Family. They claimed that the Soro Family had ruled the Corellian Star System for tens of thousands of years and that they were the true number one family, the true masters of the Corellian Star System.
As a result, the Sacoria Triumvirate was put in a very passive position. If they had followed the normal procedure, they would have announced the establishment of the Five Star Alliance and the powerful deterrence of the midpoint station. This way, they would represent the Corellian Star System's current government to declare independence, and the change of regime would be natural.
However, all the rhythm was disrupted by Dan Solow. He first announced the restoration and announced that the midpoint station was his, regardless of whether it was true or not. Then, the Sacoria Triumvirate retorted, saying that what he said was wrong and that the midpoint station was his! Was that possible? Who could be convinced by such words? Because Dan Zoro was the first, everyone tacitly agreed that what he said was true!
To quote the words of the hegemon Huang Silang, "Now I've become a f * cking substitute!!"
Left with no other choice, the Sacoria Triumvirate sent a representative to find Chen Gang. In fact, they were very reluctant because they knew that Chen Gang was a spy of the Independent Star System Confederacy. However, Chen Gang did indeed give them the unimaginable gift of the Midpoint Station. Therefore, their original plan was to support Chen Gang and his people with high positions and generous salaries for the rest of their lives. As the richest place in the Milky Way Galaxy, how could the Corelia Star System not be able to support a few idle people? It was one thing to give them glory and wealth, but it was also necessary to keep them away from the core of power, because they knew too much.
The representative went directly to Planet Corellia to find Chen Gang's villa and got in touch with Chen Gang through the representative. No one knew what they talked about, but in the distant Sacoria Galaxy, when the mysterious Big Three walked out of their secret office, their faces were full of smiles.
…
Inside the Midpoint Station.
The fierce exchange of fire between the rebels and the defenders was still going on. There were no signs of this rebellion, because no matter how they investigated, there were no problems with the soldiers who started the rebellion. However, if the conditions of the investigation were further deepened, it would be found that the ancestors of these rebels were once officials of the Soro family, or had received favors from the Soro family. To put it bluntly, these people were the so-called 'King's Party'.
Perhaps after the democratic revolution 300 years ago and the restoration 20 years ago, the higher-ups of Corellia thought that the Soro family was completely finished, and no one would support them. But they were all wrong. No one supported the Soro family before, and when Krol Soro was restored 20 years ago, he did not win much support. But the reason why they did not support him was not because they did not want to, but because the price of support was too high, and they could not afford it.
But it was different now. With the terrible thing like the Midpoint Station in hand, and the public support of the Republic, the cost of supporting the Soro family became very low, so the old and young people of the previous dynasty jumped out one after another.
But even so, there were only about 2,000 people from the King's Party who participated in the rebellion this time, compared to the 10000 defenders and more than 2000 scientists in the entire Midpoint Station, it was an absolute minority. But this time, the victory of the rebellion was unexpected. The soldiers of the King's Party suddenly turned on their companions, and caught off guard, the defenders of the Midpoint Station suffered heavy losses.
And the scientists who betrayed and joined the King's Party also cooperated. Cutting off communication was only one aspect, they also opened up roadblocks on the road, blocking the few armored vehicles of the defenders. And many of the automatic turrets were controlled, and they began to fire wildly at the defenders.
Under such circumstances, the defenders at the midpoint station suffered heavy losses. At least 1,000 soldiers were killed in the chaos, and because they did not have communication, they could only run around and were divided into countless small groups to fight their own battles.
On the other hand, the army of the King's Party was very clear about their goal. After they started the rebellion and killed their companions, they began to move toward the three preset assembly points. They gathered into three organized troops of more than 500 people and began to move toward the command center and the energy system of the Midpoint Station.
Dan Zoro's arrangements were not limited to this. After he occupied the anti-gravity device of planet Thelonia, he immediately organized a group of spaceships full of pirates to fly to the Midpoint Station as the second wave of backup. Moreover, the major planets of the Corellian system were moving very coincidentally. Theronia was very close to the midpoint of the Lagrange point between Tallus and Tallus, while Corellian and Draar had already moved to the other side of the system.
In the case of hyperspace jump, this distance did not matter, but in the case of the entire galaxy with an isolation field, if he wanted to fly from the other side of the galaxy with a sub-light speed engine, it would take a few months.
On the surface, Dan Zoro and Palpatine's gamble seemed to be successful! But life is not always smooth sailing, and accidents happen!
