A few hours later, the fighting on the Coruscant battlefield, which had been fiercely fought, had basically disappeared, and the news of the emperor's assassination had spread widely. Upon hearing of the Emperor's death, the two warring sides ended the exchange of fire, and all the fleets that were rushing to Coruscant for reinforcements stopped and began to examine their position carefully.

The governors and military marshals of the major star districts are verifying the authenticity of the news through their own channels in order to decide their next move, and many of them are already thinking about whether to bow directly to Vader.

After all, they all knew that none of them would be able to defeat Vader unless they joined forces, and Vader's foresight alone would make his fleet nearly invincible, not to mention the shock caused by the Eclipse in the latest reports.

Opposing Vader seemed like a risky decision, and it looked easier to accept his rule. At this time, the Imperial Holographic Information and Communication Center on the ground of Coruscant was already running at full power. Since this is the central node of the holographic network, it is the main battlefield of the warring sides at the beginning of the war.

In addition to the Royal Palace, here is the second most important target. The nearby defenders resisted stubbornly, and it was not until the news of the emperor's death came that the defenders inside announced their surrender. After the occupation of the place, Vader's cronies began to make full use of the facility.

First, the news of the Emperor's death was transmitted to all corners of the galaxy at high speed via a holographic network. Except for a small number of star districts that temporarily blocked the news after receiving the news, the media in other regions followed up and reported the incident as soon as possible.

All the major media outlets in the core world close to the heart of the silver were quick to send their own reporters to the scene to get a sense of coverage, while some areas where public anger was stacked had already begun to set off fireworks to celebrate. It has to be said that the emperor has a great ability to attract hatred.

This state of instability lasted for several days, during which Vader appointed himself Supreme Consul of the Empire. Asking all the governors and military commanders of the sector to return to Coruscant to report on their work within a time limit is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye, and this is a request for everyone to pledge allegiance to him in person.

This tough demand accelerated the operation of other forces, and in the following half a month, a small group of people with smaller ambitions or more far-sighted visions honestly sent people back to the imperial capital to report their duties and pledge their allegiance to Vinda, while most of the others were still waiting and watching.

Anyone who could become a governor of the Legion or a military marshal under Palpatine was an extreme egoist. They are usually the descendants of a prominent family in a certain star district, representing the interests of the great nobles of the region.

After the emperor's death was confirmed, they were not particularly saddened. After all, for them, the emperor is only the biggest spokesman for their interests, and he is not irreplaceable. Of course, they won't give in to Vader easily.

Although none of them is a match for Vader. But Vader is also incapable of suppressing them now. The empire grew to this stage. The power of the regional governors and marshals was at its peak, and it was basically impossible for the central government to bypass them and mobilize local imperial resources.

After Vida incorporated the local garrison in Coruscant, he may have plenty of troops to hold on to Coruscant, but it was not easy to teach the disobedient governors a lesson. After all, the scale of the fleet under his direct control is limited, and at present, several governors of the star sector and a marshal of a military region have officially defected to him, and it is impossible to form a unified combat strength in the short term.

It was this that saw this clearly, so most of the governors and marshals still maintained a wait-and-see attitude. They were all waiting for Vader to say something. For example, like an emperor, he promised them more benefits. If so, they wouldn't mind swearing allegiance to Vader. For them anyway. Their privileges are cash cows, and the empire is their tool to make money.

Considering themselves the pillars of the empire, they believed that Vader had only one way to unite them, so they were all confident waiting for news at home, but more than half a month had passed, and all they were waiting for was the urging order issued by Vader, asking them to leave to return to the imperial capital immediately to report on their work, otherwise they would be punished according to rebellion!

"Lao Tzu hasn't counted your treason yet, how long has the emperor died at the hands of you, a thief......" This was the voice of the governors and marshals, who were annoyed to find that Vader had no intention of wooing them at all, which made them feel that they were being despised by it.

Some of the Governors who smelled danger were ready to relent, but the more powerful were ready to band together against Vader, letting him know that Star Lords like him were the masters of the Empire. These elites mobilized their own resources and began to prepare public opinion and mobilize militarily.

Their goal of unification is to force Vader to the negotiating table to renegotiate the division of power and the distribution of benefits, at least to preserve the privileges they now have. While they are actively in contact and alliance with each other, Vida's intelligence network is also working at full strength.

Contrary to what most people think, Vader's goal is not to monitor the words and deeds of the governor and marshals, after all, his intelligence network was mainly aimed at the emperor before, and the intelligence network established by the emperor is the real one that covers the whole galaxy and specializes in monitoring the movements of the great nobles.

With the death of the emperor, his intelligence network also fell silent, except for a small number of spies who were loyal to the emperor before defected to Vader, most of the others went to the real power of the nobles to be guests, after all, many of them were loyal to the emperor, and some were still acting with the idea of revenge for the emperor.

For these reasons, Vader did not rely too much on the information channels on the dark side, on the contrary, the main task of his intelligence network after it was fully operational was to contact the "loyal people" in each sector, that is, the outstanding officials and officers at the grassroots level within the imperial power system.

Because the power structure of the empire is very corrupt, and high-level officials are basically the result of trading power for money, many officials and military talents with excellent work at the grassroots level have not been reused for a long time, and there is a lot of resentment. These people are the targets of Vinda's positioning.

After all, compared to the aristocratic star lords who are never satisfied and will only continue to reach out to the central government, these grassroots personnel are the backbone of maintaining the existence of the empire. They are generally more capable of working and are more concerned about the safety of the Empire.

It is possible to do without governors and marshals in the major star regions, but without these "loyal men", the empire will have no basis for existence. And among these people, the first person on Vida's list is not even a human being.

Back half a month ago, several envoys sent by Vader had just arrived at a remote military region in the border region of the Galactic Empire. After passing through the layers of inspection, the envoys met the supreme military commander of this remote military region, an alien in the uniform of the Imperial Army!

It's strange to have an alien as the area sergeant major, and while the Imperial army recruits a small number of non-human races at each recruitment, the percentage of the army is small. Humans are also inherently better suited to war than individuals of most races.

Today, with the rise of Great Humanism, the Empire's management system has openly excluded aliens from joining. Within the Imperial Army, discrimination against non-human races was even more open. It's hard for an alien to get a rank worth mentioning here.

Dressed in a crisp-fitting officer uniform and with a winning epaulette on his shoulder, this blue-skinned alien manages an entire fleet, mostly human. Although this is a remote frontier, it is still hard to believe that this is true.

This alien man is of moderate stature and stands tall, and at first glance he looks like a pure soldier. Although not human, he has a face and body structure that closely resembles a human, his skin is dark blue, and he has a pair of red but calm eyes.

"On behalf of Lord Vader, I greet you, Lieutenant General Zoro. As the envoy approached, he led several of his companions to bow to the lieutenant general in front of him, but behind him there was a person who was also dressed as an envoy and only nodded slightly, not showing the same degree of courtesy.

"This is a barbaric land on the frontier, we don't practice these rituals here, envoy, you can directly express your intentions, what does Lord Vader have to say?" Lieutenant General Zoro did not seem to appreciate the courtesy shown by the envoy, and the conversation began with a straight line to the point.

As a military commander stationed on the frontier, he had only met a few times in Coruscant and Vader before and after his promotion, and he was not familiar with him, and he was far from being a close confidant or friend of Vida. Vader must have had some meaning when he sent an emissary to find him a few days after the coup was successful.

Now that the news of Vader's killing of the Emperor had already arrived, he was shocked, but he didn't know as much about it as other high-ranking officers. There is no other reason, no matter who sits on the throne, it will not affect a frontier area like him.

Unlike the eternal core world, the Empire's frontiers are in constant turmoil, and the frontiers away from the Silver Heart and the main garrison are a haven for criminals of all kinds. The population and production of goods are very low, so the people who live close to the Silver Heart are not very concerned about the affairs here.

The citizens of the Empire who were active here were not wealthy, and most of them were engaged in mining and gathering. endured a harsh working environment in order to earn more money to support his family. Due to the harsh environment, there are few people living here, and the work is well paid.

Many people from the bottom of the social ladder came here with the idea of earning enough money to live in the core world, and they worked hard during the construction period to achieve their humble ideals. The long-term labor culture and the poor public security environment in the frontier make the people here very "simple".

Lieutenant General Zoro has been serving here for several years, and naturally he has unconsciously become infected with the folk customs here. For this reason, he doesn't care about the etiquette of the envoy, he only cares about what the other party wants to bring, he himself just manages an inconspicuous small frontier military region, with few soldiers and little power, and incomplete equipment, no matter how you look at it, he will not be Vida's preferred target to woo. (To be continued......)
