The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2464 Nationalization Plan

2466: Nationalization Plan

[We need military command talents, intelligence talents, and industrial talents. Unfortunately, there are not many such talents in the Outer Rim. We must admit that the core education system of the Galactic Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn still monopolizes most of the talents in the Milky Way. In addition, the core areas of the former Separatism also have a large number of higher education institutions, which have also cultivated some high-end talents. ]

Hearing this, Bail Organa felt something was wrong, but after all, this was just a pre-recorded video, so he didn't say anything and just continued to listen.

【Therefore, we need to unite more people, regardless of where they came from. Former separatists, as long as they can prove that they have not committed war crimes, can join our team; those in the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire who agree with our ideas, as long as they have not directly participated in the crimes due to subjective factors, can also join. We welcome aliens and all those who are willing to fight with us. Only in this way can we defeat hegemony and achieve the final victory. 】

【Internally, we need to establish a strong management system. I cannot stand in the foreground, and you will occupy a more important position in the future. Remember, before we achieve real victory, we cannot talk about real freedom... Always remember that we are a military organization, and as a military organization, the most important thing is to communicate orders and enforce them, which is contrary to the concept of freedom. 】

[Therefore, only you, and only you, can stick to your original intention in such a contradiction. In the extremely difficult struggle, never forget your mission. The recent failure is not the end of the world. Instead, it makes us realize our own shortcomings. We don’t have many opportunities, but we are not without them. The Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire will surely start a war again, and at that time, it will also be our opportunity to grow and develop. ]

[The road to freedom is difficult and bumpy, but we will move forward with heavy burdens. ]

After watching this video, all three people present fell silent.

After a long moment, Mon Mothma spoke up: "Then I will continue to be in charge of intelligence and administration. The current situation is very dangerous, but the overall trend of the entire galaxy is in our favor. We cannot lose this opportunity again."

"As for the parliament, I will continue to work. I believe that more and more planets will be willing to support us. Even if it is just to provide a spaceport for our spacecraft to dock, it will be the most powerful support for us."

Gam-Bel-Iblis also nodded and said, "Then, leave the industrial production to me. I have already convinced the Corellia Engineering Company that they will secretly build warships for us. Mainly frigate-level, including CR-70 and CR-90 frigates. At the same time, they can also provide us with the spare parts needed for maintenance of the Imperial-class and Victory-class Star Destroyers we captured. On the other hand..."

He tapped on the memory and projected an image of a fighter jet.

This fighter is generally similar to the classic Z-95 Headhunter fighter, but it has four wings, forming an X shape. Four laser cannons are installed at the wing tips, and four heavy engines are installed at the wing roots. The overall shape is very compact and full of mechanical beauty.

"This is..." Mon Mothma looked at the fighter and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"T-65 fighter, codenamed X-Wing." Iblis said seriously: "The most important thing for us now is to hand this fighter over to the leader."

Bail Organa's face became serious. "Is the situation at Incom Corporation so dire?"

Gam-Bel-Iblis nodded and said, "It's not just Incom. Almost all military-industrial complexes in the Galactic Empire are now oppressed by the Empire. Palpatine is implementing a plan to nationalize all military-industrial complexes. However, the fighter designed by Incom was discovered by the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and the Empire is asking them to hand over the design and prototype." Mon Mothma asked, "So what's the current situation of Incom?"

"This fighter has an independent hyperspace navigation system, an independent shield system, powerful firepower, and super maneuverability. It can be said to be a perfect fighter and the focus of our next military operation. This is also the essence developed by Incom using the most advanced technology. Now Incom has been blockaded by the Empire, and their engineers, data, and prototypes cannot be brought out... We can't let the Empire succeed." Iblis said.

"I see." Mon Mothma nodded very seriously.

……

August 10 BBY.

After being defeated by Thrawn and fully switching to strategic defense, the Kingdom of Dawn suddenly launched an attack without warning, launching active attacks on the two major battlefields of the East and South.

In the Eastern Frontier, General Grievous suddenly led his troops to the planet Mingban and attacked the flank of the Galactic Empire's 12th Army.

When the main fleet of the 12th Army returned to provide support, a fierce fleet battle broke out between the two sides, taking advantage of their rest and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.

In this battle, the long-lost last super battleship of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Destroyer, suddenly appeared and caught the Imperial Fleet off guard. The Destroyer, which had been secretly modernized in Hutt Space, was simply not a match for the Imperial battleships currently in service.

So even though General Grievous' fleet was only one-third of the size of the Imperial fleet, with the powerful firepower of the battleship Destroy, he still defeated the main fleet of the Imperial 12th Army!

After this battle, the strength of the 12th Army was greatly weakened, and it was difficult to maintain the existing front line, so it had to ask for help from the center of the empire.

At the same time, in the southern battlefield, Ling Liang, who was originally trapped on the planet Fangduo, also suddenly broke out and rushed out to launch a surprise attack on Darth Vader's Death Squadron.

According to the Imperial Ministry of Defense, this raid was most likely a military action after the construction of the star gate on the planet Fangduo was completed.

During the battle, Ling Liang led the Titan battleship Taowu to suddenly perform a short-distance hyperspace jump, and suddenly arrived next to Darth Vader's flagship, the Executor Super Star Destroyer without any warning, and then released the Ogre-class siege cruiser that had been hidden long ago to launch a surprise attack on the Executor.

Although the raid by the Ogre-class siege cruiser did not work, Darth Vader did not linger in the battle. Seeing this, he quickly led the Death Squadron to retreat and did not engage in a decisive battle with Ling Liang's fleet.

After repelling the Death Squadron, Ling Liang led the fleet to open up a hyperspace channel to the Kingdom of Dawn's homeland, but there was no further military action before the campaign came to a halt.
