Chapter 232: The Third Cloaked Man
Under the instigation of these elders, the other elders of the Presbyterian Church finally made up their minds!
A cleansing of science and technology all over the planet is in full swing!
The Presbyterian Church directly declared that all industrial and technological products are illegal, and the use and even possession of them are a felony!
Although they did not dare to kill Elder Dorr blatantly, they began to arrest and execute members of the technology movement one by one on charges of rioting, treason, and homicide.
Not only that, the army of the Presbyterian Church began to search every household, as long as they found technological items, the whole family would be taken away!
When the technology activists were parading before, they sent many small objects made of technology to the residents along the road, but now these things have become evidence that the entire family of these residents was taken away!
The residents of the villages and towns along the road were arrested group by group and put in prisons.
Later, the prisons were not enough, and some elders of the Council of Elders simply designated a few cities with a large number of arrested people as special management areas, and turned these towns into prison cities!
The entire planet Cerea is now shrouded in white terror. Everyone is panicked. Some residents don't even dare to use things with wheels. They are afraid that the cavalry from the Presbyterian Church will come and point to the wheels and say that they are industrial creations, get caught and thrown in the prison city.
In fact, even within the Presbyterian Church, it was thought that this was going too far. But it was still those elders who were furious with the support of the families of the dead. They didn't make sense at all. They just wanted to completely wipe out all the technological items from the planet Cerea.
At least their starting point is correct, the Great Elder thinks so.
As everyone knows, when he thought so, he had already lost.
When the technological cleansing movement was vigorously unfolding, no one noticed that a gentleman wearing glasses quietly came out of the homes of the most radical elders after leaving a large sum of money left by spaceship to never come back.
As a master at controlling people's hearts, this person naturally knows what to do.
He first started with the families of those who died in battle, inciting their extreme hatred for the technology movement, and then approached several elders who he thought were the most suitable based on this. Some elders are greedy, some elders are extreme, and these are things he can use.
Then, under the joint promotion of these elders and the families of the dead, the technological purge began.
Greedy elders took advantage of this purge to increase their voice in the Presbyterian Church step by step, extreme elders realized their political ideals, and the families of the dead had an outlet to vent their grief caused by the sacrifice of their husbands or fathers.
Everything is so logical...
At this time, Vitali Olov came to planet Cerea again.
It has to be said that even Vitali is under the calculation of Baron Zemo. He knew that Vitali's character would never accept such things as smuggling weapons, so he just let Vitali smuggle medical supplies and entertainment supplies, these are small items that can improve the quality of life.
Several underground hospitals were even opened to quietly treat various intractable diseases for those residents.
These small actions seem difficult, but in fact, it is not so difficult for a civilization that has entered the interstellar era to do these things without telling a civilization in the medieval era.
What Vitali brought to the planet Cerea was medical equipment, medicine, food, etc., but what he exported was war!
And he couldn't refuse...
This is Helmut Zemos plan!
Every time Vitali saves a person, every time he brings a technological product, Planet Cerea is one point closer to war.
And once this war breaks out, the previous battle where the technology movement defeated the 100,000 Presbyterian army will not be worth mentioning!
...
In the middle of the galaxy, Ord Mantell planet, the capital city of Worlport.
It used to be the armory of the Galactic Republic more than 10,000 years ago, but after the end of the Sith War, the planet was completely deserted. However, the military facilities still left on the planet have attracted the attention of a large number of bounty hunters and criminals, and they have come to this planet in large numbers to establish their own homes.
After thousands of years of development, the planet Ord Mantell has developed its own unique industry. Now it is one of the largest illegal gambling cities in the galaxy, and it is also an underground financial center for a large amount of money laundering.
The planet is full of garbage dumps, and because of the abundant coal reserves, the robot coal yards are used to supply the energy needs of the entire planet, resulting in almost complete destruction of the atmospheric environment. But here is still a crazy dark casino!
However, at this moment, a man wrapped in a black cloak came to the door of one of Walport's casinos, the third cloaked man!
The name of this casino is Sunshine. It is a spherical building, very luxurious, and it stands out from the surrounding casinos. At the entrance of the casino, more than a dozen heavily armed guards lined up in two rows, staring intently at the passing guests.
They give every gambler a sense of security. No matter how much you win or lose here, at least you are within the scope of the casino, and no one will touch you. As for what will happen after leaving the casino, everyone will live in peace.
Well-dressed gamblers led their female companions, walked in talking and laughing, and then left either satisfied or walked out in despair.
Casinos of this size are not afraid of customers winning money, they are only afraid that customers will not come.
A sum of stolen money is transferred to the underground bank through the neutral account, and then transferred to the casino account through the underground bank, and then exchanged for chips to the customers who need money laundering. Bank withdraws money.
This completes a money laundering process, and this is also because the government of Ord Mantell, which was originally established by criminals, implements a financial law called Clement banking laws. It provides many conveniences for money laundering.
Officials of the financial regulatory department of the Galactic Republic have long been bribed and corrupted, and the regulatory regulations are useless.
The man in the cloak watched the casino from a distance for a long time, but he still had no intention of going in. Although the wealth in his hands can easily run freely in this casino, he still dismisses it and just looks at it indifferently.
Until the early hours of the night, the number of people entering and leaving the casino gradually decreased. Except for some people who lost their eyes, most of them had already left or gone directly to the guest rooms inside the casino to rest.
At this time, the cloaked talent walked slowly towards the entrance of the casino.
"Who are you? What are you doing here!?" A guard asked sharply.
The man in the cloak just sneered and didn't speak. He took out a metal sword hilt from his waist and felt the cold temperature of the hilt.
The Kyber crystal inside seemed to be whining as if struggling and resisting. But all this is in vain, a mere dead thing, absolutely unable to resist that terrible will!
Swish!! A blue lightsaber protruded from the metal hilt in his hand! The light of the plasma light blade condensed and did not disperse, and there was a buzzing sound.
