Although the rebels outside had done their best, unfortunately, their actions had no effect on the fortress itself. After all, the Death Star was so huge that it was simply an artificial asteroid. In comparison, the rebels' X-fighters were like mosquitoes, and there was nothing special about them except being annoying.
Of course, anti-aircraft guns can't hit mosquitoes.
In the entire command room, only Fang Zheng was still observing the mosquitoes flying around. Everyone else focused their attention on the satellite in front of them.
The Imperial fighter planes launched a ruthless counterattack against the rebels, and even Darth Vader went into battle personally - well, to be honest, Fang Zheng couldn't understand what this operation was. The rebels only had thirty fighter planes, and for a fortress as large as the Death Star, there must be thousands of fighter planes used for defense. There was no need to send too many. Just a hundred fighter planes would be enough to completely block these guys. Why should Darth Vader do it himself?
Do you think it's an overreaction to use so many fighter planes to deal with these rebels?
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, the air battle outside the fortress had reached its final moment. The rebels had only one last fighter plane still struggling. It quickly passed through the gap in the fortress, while Darth Vader led his two subordinates and followed closely behind the opponent.
However, just as Darth Vader locked onto the fighter plane in front of him, a beam of light fell from the sky and destroyed a fighter plane next to Darth Vader. Then another fighter plane lost its direction and crashed directly into Darth Vader's fighter plane, and then crashed into the surface of the fortress. Darth Vader never thought that his men were such bad teammates, and he was knocked into the sky by accident.
"Okay, kid, there are no obstacles. Hurry up and blow up the target. Let's go home!"
"Chinese!"
Hearing the familiar voice coming from the headset, Luke sitting in the cockpit was also excited all over. He stared at the passage in front of him. At the same time, in Luke's ears, the mysterious voice sounded again.
"Feel the Force, child. It is with you..."
Caught!
As if a sudden inspiration came to him, Luke pressed the launch button hard. Soon, two bombs flew out of the X-fighter and shot forward. If nothing unexpected happened, they would penetrate into the vertical cooling channel not far ahead, and then fall directly into the reactor core, completely destroying the entire Death Star.
However……
“Swish!!”
Not long after the two bombs entered the heat dissipation channel, Luke suddenly saw a flash of blue light in front of him, and then the two bombs suddenly bounced out, and then exploded with a "boom" in the air!
"What's going on?!"
Seeing this scene, both Luke, who was driving the fighter plane, and Han Solo, who was operating the Millennium Falcon, widened their eyes in surprise, unable to believe the facts before their eyes. However, no matter how unacceptable they were, the reality was right in front of them - their plan had failed!
"Retreat, we must retreat immediately, boy!"
"But……"
"No buts, hurry up, it's too late to leave!"
As if to verify Han Solo's words, at the same time, the huge turret on the surface of the Death Star began to glow, and then four green rays were suddenly emitted, gathered together, condensed into a thick and huge beam of light, and blasted towards the satellite in front. Soon, the light hit the distant satellite. There was a flash of light, and the next moment the huge satellite exploded completely like a burst balloon, turning into a pile of fragments.
"No--!!!"
Seeing this, Luke's eyes almost burst out, he held the joystick tightly and roared unwillingly. Although he wanted to turn around and fight this damn satellite to the death, he finally regained his sanity and drove his fighter plane with the Millennium Falcon to escape far into the starry sky before the Imperial fighter plane arrived.
"Oh?"
At this moment, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes. He could feel that before the satellite was blown up, a transport ship escaped from the satellite, and it was obvious that there was Princess Leia's soul information on it.
This can even allow her to escape. The protagonist's halo is the protagonist's halo.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng chuckled, retracted his gaze, and closed his eyes.
Soon, he saw an old man, an old man in a long robe, standing in the void, looking at him.
"You shouldn't do this. You are aiding and abetting evil."
The old man opened his mouth and complained unhappily, but Fang Zheng snorted coldly.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I have anything to be criticized by you. Let me say it again, we, the Tiandao Palace, are a neutral third party. We came to this galaxy and communicated with the legal and formal ruling institutions and forces of this galaxy. It seems that we don't need the permission of you rats who came out of nowhere. Not to mention that you just tried to kill us... Do you think we, the Tiandao Palace, are easy to bully?!"
Having said this, Fang Zheng suddenly raised his voice, and the force of the entire universe seemed to be aroused at this moment.
"Listen, you are just a bunch of rebels, a bunch of rats in a burrow. It is not your turn to accuse or protest how our Tiandao Palace does things. I will let you go this time, but if you dare to continue to challenge my bottom line, I will let you know... what true destruction is!"
Fang Zheng stared coldly at the old man in front of him, and then the next moment, the scene around him suddenly changed.
The bright red earth enveloped everything, and endless swarms of insects roared over. They screamed and covered the earth and the sky, tearing everything in front of them into pieces. These illusions made the old man change his expression, and even when the springtails pounced on him, he couldn't help but raise his hands and block them in front of himself.
The next moment, the illusion shattered.
"Don't think I can't do anything to you just because you turn into the Force, Master Obi-Wan."
Fang Zheng raised his right hand, and a small flame appeared at his fingertips.
"I will use my own eyes to see, investigate, and study what kind of power and organization the Galactic Empire is. Instead of listening to you guys selling misery here, do you understand what I mean?"
“…”
The old man stared at the flame on Fang Zheng's fingertips and was silent for a moment. Then he turned around and disappeared into the boundless void.
"snort."
Seeing the old man disappear, Fang Zheng also snorted and put down the flame in his hand. He had always looked down on the rebels in Star Wars. In Fang Zheng's opinion, they were just a bunch of rabble. They had no faith, no belief, no organizational ability, nothing. They just shouted vague slogans to vent their anger and dissatisfaction. And most importantly, the rebels were originally a group of "non-humans" oppressed by the Galactic Empire.
In Fang Zheng's opinion, there was nothing wrong with this. Any large country needs a dominant ethnic group and race to rule it. As a human priority advocate, he certainly stood on the side of humanity. The Galactic Empire's attack on non-human races was to consolidate human dominance, and Fang Zheng had no complaints about this. If it were him, what he would do would not be much different. Of course, it might be relatively mild, but in basic principles, Fang Zheng and Palpatine had a lot in common.
But what about the rebels?
There is all kinds of people!
The persecution of non-human races was understandable. At least at that time, the purpose of the resistance was very clear. However, later, with the participation of other forces, the purpose of the resistance began to become increasingly unclear. The Jedi Knights tried to overthrow the Empire and restore the Republic through the resistance - to put it bluntly, it was another speculative behavior of political losers. The participation of smugglers and poor people made the resistance become a mess.
Smugglers are naturally eager to gain a relatively independent status, power and benefits by weakening the Empire. The poor simply want to live a good life, non-humans are trying to improve their status, at least to achieve racial equality, and the goal of the Jedi is to defeat the Empire and restore the Republic.
Look, what a mess.
If they did not have a common enemy, the Galactic Empire, which was powerful enough to suppress them and force them to stick together, the rebels would have been destroyed long ago.
So in Fang Zheng's view, the rebels were completely incompatible with him. He was not interested in listening to the escaped Jedi Knights complaining about the tyranny of the Empire. Politics itself was this kind of thing. Didn't you plant Anakin as a spy next to Palpatine? Now that you can't win, you come to complain about the other side's brutality. Are you crazy?
Palpatine was able to turn the Jedi Temple upside down, but you, the Jedi Order, have been in the Republic for thousands of years. You can't have suddenly become a pure, harmless and ignorant little sheep, right? You are not strong enough, you are not capable enough, you are not far-sighted enough, and you deserve to be tricked by others, right? Who are you crying and showing off your identity as a victim to now?
Fang Zheng hated the local separatism in the resistance army. As a supporter of great unification, he was very unhappy with any form of division, and Fang Zheng naturally looked down on those guys in the resistance army who practiced independence in the name of freedom.
As for those oppressed aliens?
Oh, we deeply sympathize and regret what happened to them...
"Mr. Fang Zheng."
Fang Zheng opened his eyes and saw Administrator Tarkin standing in front of him. He also smiled slightly.
"I have witnessed the strength of the Galactic Empire. It is indeed extraordinary."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Fang Zheng. We have now completely destroyed the rebel base. For the great Galactic Empire, this is also a victory that is worth writing about."
Administrator Tarkin was indeed very excited. After all, this plan was proposed by Darth Vader, and Administrator Tarkin himself was under a lot of pressure. After all, if the plan failed, his political career would come to an end. But fortunately... everything went well.
"Thank you for showing me this wonderful show. I plan to leave for Coruscant now."
“That’s really wonderful.”
Hearing this, Administrator Tarkin also smiled.
"The Emperor will certainly be very happy to meet you."
