Chapter 602: Christophsis Civil Unrest

Under the instigation of the Corporate Alliance, the Retail Clan also began to act, and they were the promoters of the civil turmoil on Christophsis.

The Retail Clan itself used to be a Trust Group composed of Hundreds of Enterprises, mainly engaged in the retailing of small commodities. After the formation of the group, they began to monopolize these commodities from raw materials to production and processing to sales, thus accumulating a huge amount of funds.

When the Separatist Movement started to rise, they were also one of the most active members, because their main markets were in the Outer Rim. If the Outer Rim could become independent, their interests would be maximized.

Therefore, when the war was approaching, the Retail Clan combined almost all of its funds to invest in Warship and Droid manufacturers in exchange for a part of the production share of these manufacturers.

Even the Fourth Group has received a huge investment from the Retail Clan. Gross Shelby handed over 10% of the production line production of several of its Frigates and Destroyers to them, which can be regarded as helping them initially establish a Fleet.

The result of this is that the Retail Clan has grown into a huge Military Group in just a few years. After the outbreak of the civil war, the Retail Clan immediately mobilized this huge Military Force and launched an attack on several Planets that they had been very influential in before.

However, although the Retail Clan is jumping up and down like this, they are still dozens of grades behind the Industry Giants such as the Corporate Alliance, and now when the Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance, Passel Argente asked them for help, the Retail Clan is really flattered.

Especially when Passel Argente proposed to jointly attack Christophsis and then everyone would split the bill, although they would only get 20%, but this was Christophsis!! A Crystal Planet with a population of 35 Billion!! Not to mention 20% of the income, even half, is enough to drive them crazy.

The plan proposed by the Corporate Alliance also made the Retail Clan feel that this action was absolutely worthwhile.

Since the Retail Clan has a deep relationship and trade with the Kerkoidens, they do have the ability to let the Kerkoidens do things on Christophsis.

The discussion was finalized, and the Retail Clan secretly found the Kerkoidens and offered them a very generous reward. The greedy and cunning Kerkoidens hit it off immediately and immediately expressed their willingness to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and on Christophsis, start a coup.

There are nearly 4 Billion Kerkoidens on Christophsis. This race has a strong body, and a long mouth and because their ancestors were four-legged carnivores on the grasslands on Kerkoidia, they still have long fangs and sharp claws, they are a very rough and brutal race.

On Christophsis, Kerkoidens are basically employed as bodyguards.

Now, the Kerkoidens suddenly staged a coup, catching Christophsis off guard. You must know that after the outbreak of the civil war, Christophsis also immediately established its own Security Army to defend itself. The idea is correct, but at least half of the Troops they recruited are Kerkoidens!

After the negotiations between the two sides broke down, the Kerkoidens launched riots in Hundreds of Cities on Christophsis, a large part of which even started from the Army!

The Kerkoidens openly accused the Christophsis Government of racial discrimination against them and cited many cases, among which there were indeed many cases of cruel exploitation of the Kerkoidens by Human bosses. They said that their own race had been discriminated against for a long time and could no longer be oppressed, so they sought autonomy. If the Republic did not give them an answer, then they would join the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

The riots that occurred on Christophsis are not trivial, because it can be said that this is the most important Planet in the Outer Rim of the Galactic Republic. The economic development of this Planet is even higher than that of many Inner Rim Planets.

Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine immediately called an Emergency Meeting to discuss the chaos on Christophsis. It took another 3 days for the Senators to quarrel, and it was not until July 6 that they made a decision to send a mission to mediate the racial disputes on Christophsis.

As for who would be an envoy, Sheev Palpatine already selected someone long ago. In the past few days, he has been troubled by the issue of Military Bills. Although he already has the power to make Emergency Rulings, it is impossible to act arbitrarily in everything. In this case, the Senate which still has great influence will definitely not put up with him.

Now the Peace Faction headed by Bail Organa has been obstructing the issue of Military Expansion, but this faction is still powerful, and the assassination of Senator Padm Amidala also won them many sympathy points. Amid their protests, the Military Expansion Bill has been delayed.

So Palpatine simply found a high-sounding reason to let Bail Organa lead a special envoy to visit Christophsis.

Bail Organa can't help it either, since what he advocates is peace, and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine did ask him to solve the problem in a peaceful way, then he has no reason to shirk.

So the next day, July 7th, Bail Organa led a mission from the Republic to Christophsis.

However, during this period of time, the situation on Christophsis became worse and worse, and the riots set off by the Kerkoidens intensified.

Many of these Kerkoidens work as Mercenaries or Security Guards, and many security codes and gate keys are in their hands. If these people fight back, many Enterprises and Factories on Christophsis will have completely irresistible damage, with many places being looted.

Under such circumstances, the Government authorities of Christophsis finally couldn't bear it anymore. They began to reorganize the Army and carried out armed suppression of the rioting Kerkoidens.

However, the situation is not as easy as the Christophsis Government authorities imagined. Although the rioting Kerkoiden Soldiers couldn't get Heavy Equipment like Tanks, they already had Basic Weapons after all, and what's worse, they had more Weapons than they imagined!!

"You know, I helped you a lot with this matter...Mr. Passel Argente." In the Holographic Projection, a middle-aged man with a high hairline and wearing a suit shook the cigar in his hand, "This scale of Arms Smuggling can be carried out by no more than 10 people in this Galaxy, and 7 of them are Hutts."

Passel Argente smiled and said to this person: "Don't worry, Santa Claus, as long as you can successfully take down Christophsis, you can get more than 10 times the profit!!"

"Then, I wish you success." Yuri Orlov was noncommittal but smiled enigmatically.
