Chapter 2512 Assassination of the Emperor
2513, Assassinate the Emperor
In fact, the life of the Dark Prophet is not easy now. In the past six months, the Dark Prophet led by Kadang has suffered great criticism.
In addition, the upcoming ceremony of the Imperial Marshal's medal awarding ceremony, which was originally scheduled to be held at the end of 10BBY, was postponed, and this incident was also considered a major mistake by Kadang. Of course, this incident also involved the black hole in the intelligence department.
At that time, the reason why the Dark Prophet Kadang personally inspected the construction of the Death Star and participated in the Death Star's trial ritual was because he wanted to use the Death Star's trial ritual to put more halos on himself, thus...
Avoid disaster.
What exactly happened that led to the postponement of the marshal's merit ceremony?
The imperial emperor Palpatine was assassinated.
The mastermind of this assassination was Grand Moff Bartam, the Imperial Senior Governor of the Star Zone, Grand Moff Trachta, and Moff Kadir, the Star Zone Governor.
They planned to place bombs to destroy the shuttle barracks when the imperial emperor Palpatine went on a tour to the star area where Baltam was located, and first eliminated the emperor's guards. Then, on the excuse of strengthening the emperor's security, a team of cloned soldiers who had been specially processed were transferred to Palpatine's side.
Finally, these cloned soldiers completed the assassination operation. All of these cloned soldiers were specially processed by the Camino people, and all had power far exceeding ordinary cloned soldiers. They also installed enhanced biochips in their brains, making them as cruel and ruthless as machinery, and had almost no independent thinking.
This ensures that these cloned soldiers have strong enough power to complete the assassination, and will not be perceived by Emperor Palpatine because of their thinking.
At the same time, the trio also organized a similar operation to prepare to eliminate Darth Vader, who was in the core area of the Delon Galaxy.
However, the assassination ended in an extremely funny way. First, the senior star zone governor Bartum and Trakhta died one after another, and then the star zone governor Kadir personally led a company of strengthened cloning soldiers to besiege Palpatine, but was burned into coke by the sky's Force lightning.
At the same time, the enhanced clone soldiers sent to the Delon Galaxy to assassinate Darth Vader were also scattered by him and chopped them into minced flesh all over the ground.
The assassination failed completely.
This incident was considered a major dereliction of duty by the Dark Prophet Kadang, because he did not predict such a child's assassination and allowed the assassination to be carried out.
It can be said that this assassination was successful because they actually advanced to the last step, allowing the assassin to face the emperor directly. The only reason for the failure was Palpatine's almost invincible power.
Palpatine did not kill the star zone governor Kadir, but left a living mouth. The Imperial Intelligence Agency and the Imperial Court led by the Black Hole immediately intervened in the investigation. After prying open Kadir's mouth, he arrested tens of thousands of people. After strict interrogation and torture, most of these people were executed.
However, this time it seemed like a farce, but in fact it had an extremely profound assassination operation, and the veil was gradually unveiled as these people were arrested.
Among the trio, although Kadir is just an ordinary star zone governor, he has a large number of resources and origins on the border and outer ring areas of the empire, and his strength is not inferior to that of the senior star zone governor. He is mainly worried that the change in the imperial political rights structure will lead to the loss of power of the border star zone governor like him.
The problems of the senior star zone governor Trahta and the senior star zone governor Bartum are even more typical. They are all people who advocate mechanical transformation. The star zone they manage uses a large number of robots and transformed people, and even they have undergone mechanical transformation surgery, turning themselves into powerful semi-mechanical transformation people.
The most fundamental reason why they have to accept such transformation is fear.
Both of them are members of the cutting-edge technology alliance, but unlike the alliance chairman Alman Tag, as senior star zone governors, they have a lot of contact with the army, so they have more contact with Palpatine's dark believers, so they understand the power of the dark side force very well.
Force sensitive people have perception and athletic ability far exceeding ordinary people, and can even rely on Force to predict what will happen in the future. The fighter jets they fly can fly freely on the battlefield and are almost never shot down by the dense air defense fire. The lightsaber they wave can always reach the position of the explosive beam shooting 0.0001 seconds in advance, and then bounce the beam back.
Such power is almost invincible.
But, they didn't.
Therefore, Trakhta and Baltam made the same choice - to transform themselves. After the transformation, they gained strong power through science and technology and high-speed computing power, but this is still far from enough.
Under such circumstances, the Imperial Emperor Palpatine has been implementing plans to allow dark believers to enter major departments of the Empire. Especially in the recent nationalization of domestic enterprises in the Empire, Palpatine has inserted many dark believers into those companies as top consultants.
Not only that, dark believers have also begun to be installed in many government departments, and the army is even more severely affected. Almost all legions have dark believers entered.
The most of them is Kade to become the Dark Prophet under his command.
This is considered a manifestation of the dark theocratic powers beginning to seize secular power, and Palpatine is already very tired of the Imperial Parliament, and he is planning to disband the Parliament. This incident is regarded by many officials as an important sign of the imminent transformation of the Imperial power structure.
Therefore, at this time, within the Galactic Empire, there was a fierce struggle between the dark theocratic power led by Darth Vader, Kadang, and Black Hole; the army power led by Dunn Wessex, Wilhive Tarkin and others; the super enterprise power led by Allman Targer and Quarter; and the imperial bureaucratic power led by Cruya Van der Long.
Such a struggle is very complicated because there are different factions within these people. But in general, the contradiction between the power of dark theocracy and secular power is the most acute.
Because the contradiction between other forces is ultimately a matter of interest. The issue of interest is nothing more than a matter of making more money and does not involve the essence. But before them and the Dark Theocracy, that is the difference between them and the Dark Theocracy. There is no possibility of any intersection between the two sides except for conflict!
Therefore, before Palpatine even put into practice, the secular bureaucrats felt great pressure immediately. They were worried that their power would be taken away by the dark believers, and when faced with those dark believers who had powerful power and could even predict the future, once they lost the power in their hands, they could only be slaughtered.
So, a huge network was woven, covering a lot of fields, from the army to administration, from the economy to technology, almost everyone was preparing to fight the erosion of secular power by dark theocracy.
So at this time, Trakhta, Bartam and Kadir colluded. They all had very huge power and power, and had countless connections and resources. Their alliance itself represented the union of many communities of interest.
Their assassination was carried out very smoothly with almost all handlers' approval, until the reinforced clone company they arranged directly faced the Imperial Emperor Palpatine.
But the reason why their actions failed was very funny.
During the implementation of the plan, because it was very smooth and the three were not far from success, they were immersed in joy. At this time, Trahta gradually became domineering, and the information he revealed in his words was quite contemptuous of the other two.
Because indeed, Trachta is a key member in the operation process - the strengthening of the clone company was made by him secretly contacting the Camino people, and he also arranged for the placement of bombs to eliminate the Emperor's Guard.
At the same time, because the star area ruled by Trahta is located in the core circle, he is the strongest among the trio in terms of economic strength and political connections.
The result was that Bartam was extremely alert to Trakhta. Then he felt that the assassination plan had been arranged almost anyway, so he just needed to proceed as planned, so he simply sent an assassin to assassinate Trakhta in advance.
But the problem is that Trachta thinks so too.
He also sent assassins to assassinate Baltam...
As a result, less than a day after Trahta was killed, Bartum was also assassinated.
So Kadir, who was the weakest and least invisible among the trio, became the mastermind of the entire assassination operation... And Palpatine, who had already noticed something was wrong through the Force's foresight, was also surprised to find that he had not taken any action yet, and the three masterminds suddenly died two of them...
However, Kadir was also an iron-minded person. Two of the masterminds of the plan died, and he actually took the last step.
All I can say is that he really knows nothing about the Force.
The entire company of enhanced cloned soldiers was easily crushed like a group of ants in front of the Imperial Emperor Palpatine.
This farce-like assassination had an extremely far-reaching impact.
First of all, the Dark Prophet did not make any predictions or react during the entire operation. In addition to the three masterminds themselves, the entire operation was predicted by Palpatine himself when the operation was about to begin.
Therefore, Kadang, the highest leader of the Dark Prophet, was reprimanded by Palpatine in extreme anger. In addition, the uprising of the planet Tarasia, which built the Death Planet, made Kadang's ability questioned, and the Dark Prophet began to be marginalized.
At the same time, this assassination also exposed the extremely sharp contradiction between the secular power class and the dark theocratic power class, as well as the essential distrust of these people in the imperial emperor Palpatine.
It is true that when Palpatine was a member of the Galactic Republic, these secular power classes were already high. His process from parliamentary to speaker, from speaker to emperor was actually supported by their support to ultimately succeed.
So from the perspective of these secular power classes, the emperor is just a spokesperson for their power. If they can hold up one emperor, they can naturally hold up another.
This made Palpatine even more determined to establish a dark theocratic state. He believed more and more that the path of a Sith was the only way for him to rule the Milky Way for generations.
However, the secular power class has been influencing the power structure of the entire Milky Way since the era of the Galaxy. They have a profound foundation of 25,000 years. It is not something that can be done overnight to completely push them down.
Although Palpatine's ultimate goal is a dark theocratic country, now, once he leaves those secular power classes, the entire empire will collapse instantly. This is of no benefit to him at all.
So he postponed the imperial marshal's award ceremony and turned the lively New Year celebration, which should have been singing and dancing, into a bloody purge!
All those involved in this assassination, from the Governor of the Star District to the warehouse administrator, were arrested and executed! In just over a month, tens of thousands of people were involved and executed!
This is a major reshuffle of the Imperial Power Organization. The people responsible for the investigation of this assassination are the Imperial Court and the Imperial Intelligence Agency. The mastermind behind these two institutions is one of the three representatives of the Dark Theocratic Power - the Dark Advisor, Coronal, and the ‘Black Hole’!
The intelligence agency agents unscrupulously arrested and searched all suspicious personnel, and the referees of the court were even more rampant. Under their activities, almost everyone in the bureaucracy of the entire empire was in danger.
During this period, the interrogation rooms of the Imperial Intelligence Agency and the Imperial Court were almost full of every day. The "Black Hole" also fully enjoyed the trust of the Imperial Emperor Palpatine in this process and was greatly satisfied.
Because in this entire investigation, Black Hole is the most powerful person in the entire empire except Palpatine. He can investigate any person at will, search any building in the empire at will, and as long as there are a little clues, he can arrest anyone immediately!
So, during this period, he was very busy with black holes.
Therefore, he did not know that a net of death that was gradually spreading against him was slowly spreading.
Hydra, one of the four major referees of the Imperial Court, is also the strongest among them. She is already considered to have died in the Battle of the Fondo Planet, and her former sphere of influence was instantly divided, and the entire court has forgotten her existence.
