Krennik, the director of the Imperial Death Star project, is dead. This news may appear as an incidental mention in the emperor's briefing to the Senate about the Battle of Scalif, or it may not.

As a fanatical industrial party, Krennik had undoubtedly climbed to the highest position that his group could handle during his lifetime. Of course, if possible, he obviously wanted to get one step higher. Krennik is an ambitious character. Such a person is somewhat pretentious and self-sufficient. It seems that besides him, other characters in the world are not worth mentioning in all aspects, as cheap as mit grass. As long as there is a chance, it can be trampled on at will, or even wiped out. As the saying goes, "What does it do with you to destroy you?" For social Darwinists like Director Krennik who believe in superhuman will, these are all natural and cosmic truths.

It stands to reason that people like Director Krennik should be the greatest and most extraordinary people in the universe. It's a pity that things are not perfect. He is an ordinary person after all. Although his brain is a little better and his heart is high, these are not enough to give him a glimpse of the original force, let alone the master’s true secret technique, and he is fortunate to enter the Sith. The disciples lined up. This alone is enough to insulate him from the highest authority. Since I was born with inadequacy, I can only resort to foreign objects, begging for another thing that transcends everything. This kind of thing can only be technology. As long as they develop a big killer that destroys the world and urges the stars to make the world, so that the hateful anti-thief sentiment will tremble, piss off, and dissipate, and then shamelessly call this brutal force "fate", Is it sufficient to prove that the empire is great, glorious, and correct? And the man who made this masterpiece is also greater, more unparalleled in the world, and has his name changed to go down in history? The answer is self-evident. It is precisely based on this enthusiasm for the infinite worship of technology that Krennik has risen step by step in the officialdom of the Empire and finally got into the position of Director of the Death Star Project, which is exactly what he dreamed of. When the Death Star began its first commissioning and turned the rebel base on Jada into dust with only a fraction of the rated power output, Krennik really wanted to kneel on the ground and praise God loudly. His unscrupulous struggle finally bears fruit, and his official career seems limitless. He, Krennik, will become the emperor's favorite subject and a hot and shining star in the political and military circles of the empire.

However, a few people don't think so.

The biggest obstacle to the rise of Krennic's career came from Governor Tarkin. In the empire’s cronyism bureaucracy, a person’s status is not determined by grades, like elementary school students handing in homework. The superior must learn to conceal their true purpose and learn to drill the camp. The most important thing is to inviting pets and flattering to superiors, followed by suppressing competitors, and then the ability to do things. Governor Tarkin is obviously proficient in this way, and he also hopes his subordinates understand that their so-called achievements are actually due to his wise leadership; their so-called credits, of course, can only be his credit in the end. Any act of arrogance and arrogance is intolerable. Under such circumstances, Krennic showed off Tarkin to his face, and unabashedly expressed his attempt to directly ask the emperor for credit, and he got the desired result: Tarkin coldly reiterated that he was indisputable in the Death Star project. At the same time, he unceremoniously shook out the pilot’s defection incident as a counterattack, which not only easily blocked Krennik’s provocation, but also ruthlessly returned a sap. If Krennik's reckless behavior in front of Tarkin is considered unwise, then his bargaining with Darth Vader even shows the stupidity and naivety of a technocrat. The Lord only bent his little finger and pinched the chattering and trembling parrot to death. "Don't be strangled by ambition", what a wonderful sentence. This world belongs to the Sith, so do you deserve the surname Das? Showing power naked in front of people who worship power is the best way to tame them.

When Krennik clutched his swollen throat and rushed to the planet Scalif to clean up the mess, his short and illusory history of rise also ushered in the final ending. The logistics base and data center of the empire were destroyed, and the top-secret design of the Death Star was uploaded and forwarded to Moments. What's more unfortunate is that he was loosely fisted and had to go shirtless himself. He was finally hit by a black gun and fell into a life-long struggle. superior.

In the last moments of his life, Krennik raised his forehead strenuously. What did he see?

He saw the huge and pale outline of the Death Star, like a dead man's eyeball, floating above the sky, which was once his masterpiece.

He saw a dazzling green flash, carrying the loud noise of hundreds of billions of thunder, crashing on the horizon, this should be its full power.

The irresistible supreme technology and outstanding militarization application are just like the Doomsday Judgment. With that light, fast approaching him, he saw the overwhelming power. Unfortunately, this kind of intrepidity that can destroy the stars, this trump card he is proud of, this arrogance that he used to manipulate and throw millions of lives into the depths of the black hole, is now finally his turn to learn. .

Wait, does Governor Tarkin know he is there? He knows that he doesn't care.

There are many servants like him in the galaxy. Soon there will be a newcomer to take his place, perhaps even better than him, at least until their flesh and the industrial party's daydreams are smashed into scum.

Seeing that the empire is such a rogue, I feel relieved.
