Chapter 2607: The Great Change of the Galactic Empire (I)

2607: The Great Change of the Galactic Empire (I)

The capital of the Galactic Empire, the center of the empire - the former planet of Coruscant.

At this moment, many rumors are beginning to spread in the political arena of the Galactic Empire, and the most crucial and important one is that His Majesty the Emperor will hold a celebration in the near future.

This celebration will be the most grand and spectacular gathering since the founding of the Galactic Empire. The Galactic Empire will hold a grand military parade to showcase its powerful fleet and army. Not only that, it is said that some new weapons and equipment will also be unveiled.

But if that were all, it would only make some ordinary people happy, and it would be just a win-win-win. What really interested those wealthy people in the core circle was the awarding ceremony that would be held at this celebration!
During the awarding ceremony, the Imperial Emperor Palpatine will enthrone twelve marshals!
Marshal! This is the pinnacle of military rank, the highest honor for a soldier, and also means the highest power! This is an honor that the Galactic Republic has never had in the past 25,000 years!

And the enthronement of twelve marshals also revealed a message - His Majesty the Emperor will redivide the spheres of influence within the imperial army.

Whenever the time comes to redivide spheres of influence, it also means a large exchange of interests and shows the future direction of the imperial army.

Moreover, is it enough to just appoint a marshal?
The appointment of a marshal often means the expansion of the power behind this marshal. The power of a marshal can also make the supporters behind him soar to the sky!
How much power does the Grand Admiral have? We still don't know. But what is certain is that since he is going to appoint a Grand Admiral, Palpatine will definitely give up some of his power to the Grand Admiral, so that the Grand Admiral can truly become the highest commander in the army, far higher than the admiral.

During this period of time, all the nobles in the core circle were excited.

The Marshal's Medal Awarding Ceremony, which was originally postponed due to the failed assassination attempt on His Majesty the Emperor, is finally here!
Almost all those who thought they were capable of competing for the position of marshal began to mobilize all their strength and took action, determined to completely lock up the position of marshal before this celebration.

At present, most people believe that the appointment of the twelve marshals is likely to be based on the war zones currently established by the Galactic Empire, that is, the legions.

毕竟银河帝国沿袭了银河共和国二十大军团的设置，但是这二十大军团在战争过程当中，第18军、第19军、第17军、第14军、第8军都已经覆灭，第14军想打复活赛都没打出来。

In addition, the governor of the 20th Army, Octavius ​​Grant, committed suicide because of the loss of the planet Fondo, so the position was naturally vacant. The 12th Army also suffered heavy losses in the battles during this period and was very likely to be removed from the list or even merged into the 4th Army.

Then the 13th Army was isolated in the Hutt space. As the Hutts began to gradually establish a unified national regime, the 13th Army had no need to exist and would most likely be removed from the list.

In this way, aren't there exactly 12 legions left?
Just as the imperial nobles began to fight openly and secretly over the twelve marshals, the Galactic Empire Intelligence Agency also quietly began to change.

Compared with the twelve marshals, the changes in the Intelligence Department were silent, but equally dangerous and cruel.

The real leader of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, 'Black Hole' Coronal, disappeared after going to an unknown star region to carry out a secret mission. He was neither declared dead nor missing, he just disappeared.

In the internal documents of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, "Black Hole" was ultimately defined as - retirement.

Afterwards, Armand Isard, the nominal director of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, was finally able to become the actual controller of the Intelligence Agency.

This process was not smooth sailing. Although Armand Isard was nominally the director, it was well known that the power that should have been in his hands was basically in the hands of Black Hole. And the Imperial Court of Justice would never listen to Armand Isard. So after Black Hole retired, the Imperial Intelligence Agency was actually in a state of division with many factions and each doing its own thing. At the same time, there were several powerful people controlling several key departments of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.

Within the Imperial Intelligence Agency, the only department truly controlled by Armand Isard was the Operations Bureau, which was responsible for the implementation of specific operations. The other departments, including the Star Region Navigation Bureau, Internal Organization Bureau, Analysis Bureau, Intelligence Data Bureau, etc., were basically divided up by several other senior officials.

However, Armand Isard took action immediately after learning that the "Black Hole" had not returned. His possible competitors were either suddenly exposed and arrested, assassinated, had a car accident on the road, or shot themselves in the back.

During this process, Armand Isard's daughter, Ysanne Isard, began to emerge.

She has always been the director of the Imperial Intelligence Agency and has done an excellent job for a long time. In this process of Armand Isard defeating many challengers, Isani Isard acted swiftly and decisively, and solved all of them before many people could react.

Not only that, after Armand Isard finally became the supreme leader of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, with the help of Essani Isard, he quickly stabilized the situation and brought those departments whose leaders had been assassinated and were leaderless under his command.

Now, in addition to the Imperial Inquisition, all the power of the Intelligence Bureau previously under the Black Hole has been controlled by Armand Isard.

He is the true king of the dark side of the empire...

?
Only one hour.

That's right, one hour.

Only an hour after Armand Isard became the true supreme leader of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, his daughter Eissani Isard came with a team of imperial guards in blood-red armor. After reading out the emperor's decree, she immediately arrested him for treason.

Armand Isard was completely confused when he saw the charges before him. These charges included colluding with the rebels, leaking key intelligence of the Empire, assassinating senior officials of the Intelligence Agency, deliberately letting his subordinates carry out suicide missions, etc. The most important one was that the leak of intelligence led to the system of the super battleship Palpatine's Eye being captured by the Kingdom of Dawn, which in turn led to the battleship being sunk!

So, what is the Eye of Palpatine?

With this question, Armand Isard was dragged directly to the Intelligence Agency's own execution ground and shot on the spot without even a trial.

Essani Isard almost immediately became the new head of the Imperial Intelligence Agency and instantly took over all of Armand Isard's power. It's hard not to think that her swift action was intentional. And she brought the Imperial Guard with her! This also directly shows the Emperor's attitude!

After this, Essani Isad appointed Colonel Wolfe Yularen, who was highly respected in the Intelligence Department and had deep-rooted ties in the military, as the head of the Intelligence Bureau's Internal Organization Bureau, and then promoted a group of trusted officials who were directly under her, truly completing the transfer of power.

Wulf-Yularen also regained his rank of general once again after being demoted from admiral to colonel in the intelligence agency, except this time it was a civilian general.
