The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2584 Shattered Ambition

2584 Shattered Ambition
Mina Tils laughed crazily. Ever since she was exiled on false charges during the Clone Wars, she had seen through the nature of this dark and chaotic galaxy.

She also understood that the Mon Calamari and the Quarren could never coexist peacefully. There were only two possible ways for these two races to coexist - one enslaved the other, or one destroyed the other.

There is no third way.

Therefore, she decisively accepted the olive branch from the Speaker of the Republic, Sheev Palpatine, and accepted his assistance. Although she knew very well that Palpatine just wanted to place a useful pawn on the planet Dak, she didn't care!
Mina Tils had already made her choice at that time!

She wants to destroy the Quarren, kill all of them! Not a single one left!
She deeply realized that the civil war thousands of years ago was caused by the Mon Calamari being too soft-hearted. If all the Quarren had been killed and exterminated that year, then nothing would have happened afterwards.

What a bullshit policy of enlightenment, it's all garbage that has no use other than to please oneself! Facts have proved that except for the one or two generations of Quarren who accepted the enlightenment policy, all the Quarren after that were extremely hostile to the Mon Calamari!

With the help of Palpatine, Mina Tils secretly operated on the planet Dak for many years. With her strong political and organizational skills and connections, she quickly rose in the political arena of the Mon Calamari. She did not appear in person, but cultivated batches of elites. Now, most of them are in high positions in various departments of the Mon Calamari.

Originally, based on the location of Planet Dak, both the Galactic Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn were unable to reach this place on the edge of the Eastern Territory. Since the defeat of the Confederation of Independent Systems, there has been no force in the Eastern Territory that can compete with Planet Dak!

Because the industrial and technological strength of Planet Dark is directly comparable to the core circle industrial world!

Even in the heyday of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Quarren Isolation Union, which split from the planet Dark, became Count Dooku's guests and the most core members of the Confederacy. The Quarren Isolation Union took away some resources and technology from the planet Dark, and established the Free Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps, which immediately became the Confederacy's largest industrial enterprise. The Parmant Port they built also directly became the Confederacy's largest interstellar shipyard!

These are just some things that slipped out of the fingers of Planet Dak.

The reason why they performed so poorly in the Clone Wars was not so much because of their lack of strength, but because they were limited by the internal friction between the two races on the one hand, and on the other hand, because they were completely unprepared for the war.

Because of this, Mina Tils hates the Quarren to the core. She believes that it is the existence of the Quarren that prevents the Mon Calamari from expanding outward and establishing a regional power amid constant internal friction. At the same time, it is precisely because of the collusion between the Quarren and the Separatists that the Mon Calamari are facing their current situation.

But now, things are different!

Mina Tils had the confidence to establish a powerful regional overlord of the Mon Calamari in the eastern region, far away from the two spheres of influence of the Galactic Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn. To this end, she had been secretly preparing for war with the support of Palpatine, and this was very easy for the Mon Calamari.

Just think about what a developed ocean planet like Dark has!

As an ocean planet, the endless ocean of almost the entire planet can provide endless energy, and the use of the planet's space is three-dimensional, from the surface to the shallow water of tens of meters to the deep sea of ​​tens of thousands of meters, all of which can be used! Whether it is building buildings in the ocean, or developing planting and fisheries, this can be done on the spot.

Not only that, ocean planets can also isolate most detection methods, and alien invaders simply cannot adapt to the ocean environment.

Therefore, except for the orbital bombing of the planet Dak, they can ignore all other means.

Even now, the planet Dak still has endless potential for development. With a population of 270 billion and five native intelligent races, the planet Dak still doesn't seem crowded at all.

In addition, for thousands of years, the most important industrial system on the planet Dak was built by the Mon Calamari themselves, and even at the peak of their power, the Quarren were only a supplier of raw materials. Located in the deep sea, they mainly made money by mining deep-sea minerals for the Mon Calamari.

Therefore, it is actually very easy for Mina Tils to do something within her area of ​​influence, and no one will notice it at all.

After so many years of preparation, Mina Tils now has everything it takes to dominate!
However, all of this was completely destroyed by a star gate on the planet Losar!

The completion of the Stargate destroyed the geographical advantage that was the foundation of Mina-Tils's plan to dominate. The invincible fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn could easily travel from the mainland to the East, and then directly shattered the dream of dominating the Dark Planet.

Mina Tils even felt that the reason why the Kingdom of Dawn sent the Given people to Losar to occupy the planet and build a star gate on Losar was intentional! Tang Xiao's fundamental plan was to target their planet Dak!

Therefore, she could only retreat and secondly, cooperate with the Galactic Empire again. This time, she could only put herself in the role of a vassal of the Galactic Empire in exchange for the military assistance of the Galactic Empire.

She must destroy the star gate of the planet Lothal and defeat the fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn. Only then will it be possible for the planet Dark to continue its plan of domination.

All of Mina Tils' actions were based on this premise. She once thought that her plan was about to succeed!

The Galactic Empire sent an entire main fleet to the East, as well as an invincible super battleship. This super battleship can even easily destroy the super battleship Destruction of the Kingdom of Dawn. With such a strong foundation, coupled with the sabotage actions of the rebels and the support of the Mon Calamari deep-sea fleet, destroying the stargate of the planet Lothal and defeating General Grievous is just around the corner!
However, Garrosh Tarkin's words completely shattered her dream!

Mina Tils then realized that her years of hard work and planning were nothing in front of the Galactic Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn! The unintentional actions of these two true overlords were enough to destroy all her plans.

The construction of the star gate, the loss of control of the super battleship, the betrayal of the Empire... All of these were major events related to the survival of the Mon Calamari people, but for the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire, they might just be a sneeze.

That’s right, the Galactic Empire just wanted to use them as cannon fodder, and the Kingdom of Dawn only regarded them as a fruit in the process of expansion.

Years of hard work, like a mirage, were completely shattered...

In the conference room, all the radical Mon Calamari leaders were stunned. They were also unable to accept this fact.

Jar-Akbar sighed, stood up, and said slowly: "Okay, it's all over. Let's put an end to this farce..."

Mina-Tilse suddenly opened her eyes and yelled loudly, "No! It's not over yet! No!!"

"Stop making trouble!" Jarl-Akbar roared suddenly, his voice was extremely loud, and the majesty of the soldier was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, "Do you want all the Mon Calamari to be buried with you?!" "No!" Mina Tils was not afraid at all. She looked directly into General Ackbar's eyes and said, "You can arrest me! Arrest everyone present! Hand them over to the Quarren, hand them over to the Kingdom of Dawn! In this way, the civil war will be settled. But your mission is not yet completed!"

Jar-Akbar's hand, which was originally stretched out to grab Mina Tils, suddenly froze. He didn't expect that she had already made such a decision.

Mina Tils' voice became extremely sad. "The Deep Sea Fleet is the last thing I leave to the Mon Calamari. This fleet cannot be destroyed like this, nor can it be taken by the Kingdom of Dawn... The Deep Sea Fleet should fight for the freedom and independence of the Mon Calamari! You should fight for it, too! General Ackbar... You are our only hope."

This time, it was Jar-Akbar's turn to become stiff. After a long while, he slowly asked back, "You should know... if I abandon my home planet and my race, I will become a sinner among the Mon Calamari. I left 10 billion compatriots on the planet Dak to be slaughtered, while I went far away to fight a struggle that may never see the end..."

"Only you... can do this." Mina-Tils said firmly, "Please! General Ackbar!"

All the core figures of the Mon Calamari present came out of their seats and saluted deeply to General Jar-Akbar.

……

The Dawn Kingdom's ultimatum to the Mon Calamari has three hours left.

Of the five Revelation-class battleships that were being repaired at Parment Harbor, two that had suffered the least damage had arrived at the planet Dark, ready to strike at the Mon Calamari's orbital facilities.

At the same time, Lin Nanyiyi also ordered the light cruiser formation that was executing the mission of cutting off the traffic route of Planet Dak to quickly maneuver to Planet Dak to reinforce the Divine Revelation-class battleships.

The leader of the Quarren people, Nosori, has also prepared himself mentally for a full-scale civil war to break out, and he has ordered the Quarren army to begin emergency mobilization.

Once the civil war breaks out, millions of Quarren warriors will launch a full-scale attack on all Mon Calamari cities!

However, at this moment, things suddenly changed dramatically.

The highest military commander of the Mon Calamari, General Jar-Akbar, suddenly stood up and announced that the Mon Calamari army had taken control of the entire situation. Mina Tils and all the radical leaders had been arrested!

They will be tried for treason by a military court, and after that, will be sent to Coral City and handed over to Nosori for punishment.

At the same time, General Jar-Akbar also announced that the Mon Calamari would accept the rule of the Kingdom of Dawn, voluntarily become its vassal, and sever all ties with the Galactic Empire.

Not only that, all armed forces of the Mon Calamari will lay down their arms and surrender within one hour.

Mina Tils's previous decision to abolish the monarchy and establish a Governor Council system was immediately scrapped. The Mon Calamari will set up a military government with General Jarl Akbar as the interim regent, and will fully cooperate with Nosori's plan to select a new king.

At the same time, Jal-Akbar promised that he would accept the king no matter who he chose or what race he belonged to.

This was a complete 180-degree turn, and everyone, including Lin Nanyi and Nosori, was unable to recover for a moment.

The Mon Calamari were still showing an attitude of resistance to the end a few minutes ago, but a few minutes later, they were completely submissive and gave up all resistance?

However, things developed so smoothly.

An hour later, all Mon Calamari armed forces laid down their arms and surrendered. Not only that, all the core leaders of the radical faction, including Mina Tils, a total of more than 30 people, were also escorted to Nosori.

Nosori was overjoyed. The civil war that was about to break out was completely over in an instant. He quickly began to work to appease the Mon Calamari people and cooperated with General Ackbar as much as possible to prepare for the change of power of the Mon Calamari people after Mina Tils.

The election of a new king is also on the agenda again.

Nosori also tried his best to take care of the feelings of the Mon Calamari. He repeatedly stated that the Quarren and the Mon Calamari were equal, and that the development of the planet Dak could not be separated from the joint efforts of the two races. He also publicly promised again that the new king would still be chosen from the Mon Calamari.

The Quarren will serve as the prime minister of the planet Dark.

At the same time, a detailed star map was also sent to Lin Nanyi. This star map surprisingly included the hyperspace route that the Galactic Empire used to raid the planet Losar!

At one time, all the conditions put forward by the Kingdom of Dawn were met.

Of course, Lin Nanyiyi no longer had any excuse to attack the Mon Calamari. After all, if he really made the other party angry, they would be very difficult to deal with.

The Mon Calamari must of course be sanctioned, but not now.

Because at this time, they have more important things to do - the Eye of Palpatine!
Lin Nanyi took the report from Planet Dak to the bridge command center of the flagship Helios, and found General Grievous, who was still standing like a sculpture next to the holographic star map. He whispered, "General, the Mon Calamari have announced their total surrender. They have also handed over the mastermind behind this incident, Mina Tils. The data on the hyperspace route used by the Galactic Empire to raid the planet Lothal has also been sent over."

However, upon hearing the news, the bloodshot in General Grievous' eyes instantly disappeared, and his gaze was no longer radiant.

He said slowly: "Now, fly the Gift Ship to the planet Targon, and the Eye of Palpatine will naturally control it. The rest... is up to you."

"General!" Lin Nanyi suddenly felt something was wrong.

However, immediately afterwards, General Grievous' body fell to the ground with a thud, like a puppet with its strings cut, and there was no sound.
